NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These
statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The operating results and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2015
or for future periods.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results
of operations for the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, accounting for
the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment costs, depreciation and amortization, sales returns and discounts, warranty costs,
uncertain tax positions and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, stock compensation, contingencies, and the fair value of
assets and liabilities disclosed. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our estimates and assumptions. The statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC
rules and regulations.
The
balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all
of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Consolidation
Effective
April 30, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Sole Vision Technologies (dba MEGAsys), a company based in Taiwan. We consolidate
our financial statements with the financial statements of MEGAsys. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our Audit Report
on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 contained a going concern qualification. Since inception,
we have generated an accumulated deficit from operations of approximately $30.6 million at September 30, 2015 and have used approximately
$2.7 million in cash to fund operations through the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As a result, a significant risk exists
regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
might result from this uncertainty.
We
adopted a multi-step plan to enable us to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits. The highlights of that plan
are as follows:
●
We
developed Sentir ® , our cloud-based video management platform, and began executing on our strategy to license
its use as a Video Surveillance as a Service (“VSaaS”) offering to partners such as telecommunications companies,
Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”), data centers, and cable companies in order to gain access to their existing
subscriber bases. Sentir was officially launched in April 2014.
●
We
introduced the ZEE ® line of cloud, plug-and-play cameras. The camera line includes three wireless indoor cameras,
one of which is a pan/tilt (“P/T”) camera, two outdoor cameras, and a dome camera. We utilize contract manufacturers
for our cloud cameras and other cloud-enabled devices. The Sentir-enabled cameras simplify service providers’ VSaaS
offering to end users.
●
We
developed IvedaMobile ® , a cloud-hosting service that turns any smartphone or tablet into a mobile, cloud video
streaming device.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
●
In
August 2015, we launched IvedaHome, a cloud-based home automation system, enabled for Sentir. The system is wireless and simple
to install for the telco’s residential and small business customers.
●
We
are actively collaborating with certain foreign telecommunications and manufacturing companies to resell our products and
services in their respective countries and are actively engaged in such sales processes with other similar companies. We are
licensing Sentir and selling the ZEE line of cameras.
●
In
December 2014, we entered into an agreement (the “Debenture and Warrant Amendment”) with the holders of certain
debentures (the “2013 Debentures”) and certain warrants (the “2013 Warrants”), pursuant to which the
holders agreed to cancel the 2013 Debentures and convert them into an aggregate of 3,600,000 shares of our newly issued Series
A Preferred Stock. As inducement to enter into the Debenture and Warrant Amendment, we issued to the holders additional warrants
to purchase shares of our common stock.
●
As
of the final closing of a private placement on March 13, 2015, we raised approximately $3.1 million through the sale of Series
B Preferred Stock.
●
During
July 2014 we launched a new website highlighting our licensing business model, which focuses on telecommunications companies,
data centers, ISPs, cable companies, and other similar organizations.
●
We
reduced our U.S.-based segment operating costs by eliminating our direct project-based sales channel and all costs related
to project-based sales and operations to focus our activities and resources on licensing Sentir.
●
In
November 2013, we hired Bob Brilon as our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Business Development. Mr.
Brilon has strong ties with the investment community and has extensive experience with strategic growth planning and domestic
and foreign institutional investors, which have been and will continue to be instrumental to our market expansion, global
distribution of our cloud video surveillance and data management platform, and raising capital to fund our growth. In February
2014, Mr. Brilon was appointed as our President.
Concentrations
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and
trade accounts receivable.
Substantially
all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit
in the United States may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Deposits
in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by Central Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) with maximum coverage
of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.
Accounts
receivable are unsecured, and we are at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. We perform periodic credit evaluations
of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. U.S.-based segment revenue from two customers
represented approximately 28% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and four customers represented approximately
91% of the total U.S.-based segment accounts receivable at September 30, 2015. Taiwan-based segment revenue from three customers
represented approximately 79% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and four customers represented approximately
96% of total Taiwan-based segment accounts receivable at September 30, 2015.

Intangible
assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of MEGAsys. Such assets
are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from nine months to ten years. Other intangible assets are fully
amortized at September 30, 2015. Future amortization of trademarks is as follows:

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of September
30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their
fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due
to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because either they
are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate their fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
We
do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative
financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value
and is then re-valued at the reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations.
For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments
at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments
should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities
are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument
could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Our derivative liability relates to the 2013 Warrants issued in
connection with the 2013 Debentures (subsequently converted to Series A Preferred Stock on December 9, 2014). These warrants contain
a ratchet provision, which allows the exercise price to adjust downward based on certain events.
Segment
Information
We
conduct operations in various geographic regions. The operations conducted and the customer bases located in the foreign countries
are similar to the operations conducted and the customer bases located in the United States. The net revenue and net assets (liabilities)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Furthermore,
due to operations in various geographic locations, we are susceptible to changes in national, regional, and local economic conditions,
demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy, and discretionary spending priorities that may have a material adverse
effect on our future operations and results.
We
are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit them back to the applicable
governmental agencies on a periodic basis. The taxes and fees are legal assessments to the customer, for which we have a legal
obligation to act as a collection agent. Because we do not retain the taxes and fees, we do not include such amounts in revenue.
We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable governmental
agencies.
We
operate two reportable business segments as defined in ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” We have a U.S.-based segment,
Iveda, and a Taiwan-based segment, MEGAsys. Each segment has a chief operating decision maker and management personnel who review
their respective segment’s performance as it relates to revenue, operating profit, and operating expenses.

EQUITY
Preferred
Stock
We
are currently authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, 10,000,000 shares
of which are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 500 shares of which are designated as Series B Preferred Stock. Our Articles
of Incorporation authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with designations, rights, and preferences determined from
time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue
preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power
or other rights of the stockholders of our common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under
certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control of our company.
Series
A Preferred Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock accrues cumulative
dividends at a rate of 9.5% per annum on the original issue price of $1.00 per share. Accrued but unpaid dividends are payable
by us, either in cash or in shares of our common stock, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as defined in our Articles
of Incorporation) or upon conversion of the shares into shares of our common stock. In addition, in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive distributions of any
of the assets of our company prior and in preference to the holders of our common stock, but after distribution of any assets
of our company to the holders of our Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the Series B Preferred Stock’s original
issue price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, at any time, into shares of our common stock equal
to the original issue price divided by an adjusted conversion price of $0.97 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to
certain adjustments. On June 30, 2017, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock not already converted will automatically convert
into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price.
The
holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the same voting rights as, and vote as a single class with, the holders of our common
stock. Each holder of our Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of our common
stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted. In addition, in the event we sell, grant, or issue
any Common Stock Equivalent (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation) at a price per share that is lower than the then-applicable
conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock, the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock will be adjusted to account
for the dilutive issuance. If we effectuate a stock split or subdivision of our common stock or our Board of Directors declares
a dividend payable in our common stock, the conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock will be appropriately decreased
to protect the Series A Preferred Stock holders from any dilutive effect of the stock split, subdivision, or stock dividend. Similarly,
if the number of shares of our common stock outstanding decreases due to a reverse stock split or other combination of the outstanding
shares of our common stock, then the applicable conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock will increase in order to proportionately
decrease the number of shares issuable upon conversion . Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have no sinking fund or
redemption rights.
Series
B Preferred Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock accrues dividends
at a rate of 9.5% per annum on the original issue price of $10,000 per share. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue
daily and compound annually. All accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock must be paid, declared, or set aside
prior to the declaration of any dividend on any class of stock that is junior in preference to the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends
on the Series B Preferred Stock are paid quarterly, beginning on July 1, 2015 in either cash or shares of our common stock. In
addition, all accrued but unpaid dividends are payable by us, either in cash or in shares of our common stock, upon the occurrence
of a Liquidation Event (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation) or upon the conversion of the shares into shares of our common
stock.
In
the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled
to receive distributions of any of the assets of our company equal to 100% of the original issue price plus all accrued but unpaid
dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of our common stock. We also have the
option to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series B Preferred Stock, provided that certain conditions have been met.
Should we choose to redeem the outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, we are required to pay the original purchase
price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder,
at any time, into shares of our common stock equal to the original issue price divided by an initial conversion price of $0.75
per share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments. On December 31, 2017, all shares of our Series B Preferred
Stock not already converted will automatically convert into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price.

NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
holders of Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as are expressly provided in our Articles of Incorporation or
required by law. Without the approval of at least a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, we may not authorize
or issue (i) any additional or other shares of capital stock that are of senior rank to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions, or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of
our company, (ii) any additional or other shares of capital stock that are of equal rank to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
in respect of the preferences as to dividends, distributions, or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution, and winding up of
our company, or (iii) any capital stock junior in preference to the Series B Preferred Stock having a maturity date that is prior
to the maturity date of the Series B Preferred Stock. Furthermore, if we consummate a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in our
Articles of Incorporation) while shares of our Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, then the holders of those outstanding
shares have the right to receive, upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the same amount and kind of securities, cash,
or property as they would have received if they would have been holders of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion in full of all shares of our Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction.
In
addition, in the event we sell, grant, or issue any Common Stock Equivalent (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation) at a
price per share that is lower than the then-applicable conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Effective
Price”), the conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock will be adjusted to the Effective Price.
If
we effectuate a stock split or subdivision of our common stock or our Board of Directors declares a dividend payable in our common
stock, the conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock will be appropriately decreased to protect the Series B Preferred
Stock holders from any dilutive effect of the stock split, subdivision, or stock dividend. Similarly, if the number of shares
of our common stock outstanding decreases due to a reverse stock split or other combination of the outstanding shares of our common
stock, then the applicable conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock will increase in order to proportionately decrease
the number of shares issuable upon conversion. Holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have no sinking fund rights.
Common
Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. All outstanding shares of our
common stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote
per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of our company. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting
rights. Persons who hold a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote on the election of directors
can elect all of the directors who are eligible for election. Holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends,
if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
of our company, subject to the preferential liquidation rights of any series of preferred stock that we may from time to time
designate, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of all liabilities
and preferential liquidation rights. Holders of our common stock have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption, or appraisal
rights (other than such as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion) and have no preemptive rights to
subscribe for any of our securities.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued 10,000 shares of common stock in partial payment for investor relations services.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued 236,855 shares of common stock in payment of dividends to preferred stockholders.

OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock
Options
We
have granted non-qualified stock options to employees, contractors, and directors as equity compensation and to debenture holders
for the extension of debenture maturity dates. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price no less than
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by our Board of Directors. Options may be exercised
up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by us upon grant. Vesting schedules vary by
grant, with some fully vesting immediately upon grant and others vesting ratably over a period of time up to four years. Standard
vested options may be exercised up to three months following the date of termination of the relationship with the employee, contractor,
or director unless alternate terms are specified at grant. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting
periods.

weighted-average assumptions used for options granted:
2015
Expected Life

yrs
Dividend Yield
0 %
Expected Volatility

Expected
volatility for 2015 and 2014 was estimated by using the Dow Jones U.S. Industry Indices sector classification methodology for
industries similar to that in which we operate. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based
on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. The expected life of the options is based on the actual expiration
date of the grant.
Warrants
We
have periodically issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock as equity compensation to officers, directors, employees,
and consultants. We have also issued warrants as incentive in connection with the purchase of debt and equity securities.
As
of September 30, 2015, warrants to purchase 7,610,303 shares of common stock were outstanding, all of which were issued either
as equity compensation or in connection with financing transactions. Vesting schedules vary by grant, with some fully vesting
immediately upon grant and others vesting ratably over a period of time up to four years. The warrants expire during a range from
two to ten years following the date of the grant. The fair value of warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing

EARNINGS
(LOSS) PER SHARE
The
following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share
computations, as required by ASC No. 260, “Earnings per Share.”
Basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average
shares outstanding. We had net losses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the effect of including dilutive securities
in the earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive for the purpose of calculating EPS. Accordingly, all options, warrants,
and shares potentially convertible into common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the
quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Total common stock equivalents
that could be convertible into common stock were 21,585,017 and 11,682,521 for September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and associated
notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than
statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding future events, our
future financial performance, business strategy, and plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements.
In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,”
“can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,”
“may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will”
or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe
we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which
may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address
the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
You
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting
policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our financial statements is set forth in Item 7, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2014. Such policies are unchanged.
Overview
We developed Sentir, a
proprietary video surveillance and data management platform with big data storage technology for flexible and scalable distribution
of hosted video surveillance services to end users. Sentir has an enterprise-class video hosting architecture, utilizing robust
data centers. Sentir is ideal for service providers such as telecommunications companies, Internet service providers (“ISPs”),
data centers, and cable companies with an existing physical infrastructure that are looking to add video surveillance services
to their customer offerings. Sentir allows scalability, flexibility, and centralized video management, access, and storage. The
advantage this platform offers end users is that there is no need to buy and maintain video surveillance software and hardware.
This platform enables real-time viewing and recorded playback of video on computers and mobile devices with push notifications
and alerts. Our expertise allows us to enable large service providers to offer cloud-based plug-and-play video surveillance using
our Sentir platform.
Historically,
we sold and installed video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes and secondarily for operational efficiencies
and marketing. We also provided video hosting, in-vehicle streaming video, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services
to a variety of businesses and organizations. Our principal sources of revenue were derived from monthly fees from video hosting
and real-time surveillance services and one-time fees for equipment sales and installation.
In
2014, we shifted our revenue model from direct project-based sales to licensing Sentir and selling Sentir-enabled plug-and-play
cloud cameras to service providers such as telecommunications companies, ISPs, data centers, and cable companies already providing
services to an existing customer base. Partnering with service providers that have an existing loyal subscriber base allows us
to focus on our customers, the service providers. We leverage their end-user infrastructure to sell, bill, and provide customer
service for the Sentir cloud video surveillance offering. This business model provides dual revenue streams – one from camera
sales to the service providers and the other from monthly Sentir licensing fees on a per-camera activation basis.

In
April 2011, we completed our acquisition of MEGAsys, a company founded in 1998 by a group of sales and research and development
professionals from Taiwan Panasonic Company. MEGAsys, our subsidiary in Taiwan, specializes in deploying new, and integrating
existing, video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers,
hotels, banks, and Safe City initiatives in Taiwan and other neighboring countries. MEGAsys combines security surveillance products,
software, and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Through MEGAsys, we have access not only to Asian
markets but also to Asian manufacturers and engineering expertise. MEGAsys is our research and development arm, working with a
team of developers and managing our relationship with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (“ITRI”) in Taiwan.
MEGAsys also houses the application engineering team that supports Sentir implementation for our service provider customers in
Asia. The acquisition of MEGAsys provided the following benefits to our business:
●
An
established presence and credibility in Asia and access to the Asian market.
●
Relationships
in Asia for cost-effective research and development of new product offerings and securing the best pricing for end user devices.
●
Sourcing
of products directly using MEGAsys’s product sourcing expertise to enhance our custom integration capabilities.
●
Cost
reductions for infrastructure equipment through direct OEM relationships.
●
Enhancements
to the global distribution potential for our products and services.
In
April 2009, the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) approved us as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology provider
under a formal SAFETY Act Designation. The designation gives us, our partners, and our customers certain liability protection.
We became the first, and currently remain the only, company to offer real-time Internet Protocol (“IP”) video hosting
and remote surveillance services with a SAFETY Act Designation. Our SAFETY Act Designation was renewed in October 2014.
In
November 2012, we signed a cooperation agreement with ITRI, a research and development organization based in Taiwan. Together
with ITRI, we have developed cloud-video services. Pursuant to the cooperation agreement, we received the right to license some
of ITRI’s patents that were used in the development. We also have exclusive rights to license the products and services
we develop in cooperation with ITRI.
In
June and August 2014, in collaboration with Filcomserve, our exclusive distributor in the Philippines, we shipped our ZEE cloud
plug-and-play cameras for delivery to the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (“PLDT”) for distribution to
its customers with a cloud video surveillance service offering, utilizing our Sentir platform. In February 2015, we received from
Filcomserve a follow-on order to deliver 10,000 of our ZEE cloud plug-and-play cameras. The cameras will be delivered to PLDT,
Filcomserve’s largest customer upon payment in full. In addition to the $1.3 million of revenue to be generated by the February
2015 purchase order of our ZEE cameras, we will receive a monthly licensing fee for each camera activated on the Sentir platform.
In
December 2014, we entered into a Framework Agreement with Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (“VNPT”), the
largest telecommunications company in Vietnam, to install Sentir at its data centers and conduct technical testing for mass distribution
of our ZEE cameras to its existing customer base.

Results
of Operations
Net
Revenue. We recorded net consolidated revenue of $823,374 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $489,009
for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $334,365, or 68%. In the three months ended September 30, 2015,
our recurring service revenue was $41,978, or 5% of net consolidated revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue
was $780,886, or 95% of net consolidated revenue, compared to recurring service revenue of $162,966, or 33% of net consolidated
revenue, and equipment sales and installation revenue of $305,489, or 62% of net consolidated revenue, for the same period in
2014. Our U.S.-based segment saw a decrease of $217,345 in net consolidated revenue during the three months ended September 30,
2015, while our Taiwan-based segment revenue increased by $551,711 during the same period. The decrease in U.S.-based segment
revenue was due to the transition from direct project-based sales to our new business model of licensing Sentir and selling Sentir-enabled
plug-and-play cloud cameras to service providers such as telecommunications companies, ISPs, data centers, and cable companies.
In addition, we entered into an assignment agreement for the IvedaSentry monitoring portion of our business, which includes a
24-month revenue sharing arrangement. The increase in Taiwan-based segment revenue was primarily due to progress on long-term
contracts awarded during 2014 and 2015.
We
recorded net consolidated revenue of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.2 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $909,623, or 75%. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our recurring
service revenue was $187,229, or 9% of revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $1.9 million, or 90% of revenue,
compared to recurring service revenue of $465,604, or 38% of revenue, and equipment sales and installation revenue of $707,505,
or 58% of revenue, for the same period in 2014. Our U.S.-based segment saw a decrease of $590,878 in net consolidated revenue
during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, while our Taiwan-based segment revenue increased by $1.5 million during the same
period. The decrease in U.S.-based segment revenue was due to transition from direct project-based sales to our new business model
of licensing Sentir and selling Sentir-enabled plug-and-play cloud cameras to service providers such as telecommunications companies,
ISPs, data centers, and cable companies. In addition, we entered into an assignment agreement for the IvedaSentry monitoring portion
of our business, which includes a 24-month revenue sharing arrangement. The increase in Taiwan-based segment revenue was due to
continued progress on long-term contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 awarded during 2014 and 2015.

Cost
of Revenue. Total cost of revenue was $633,926 (77% of revenue, representing a gross margin of 23%) for the three months
ended September 30, 2015, compared to $397,173 (81% of revenue, representing a gross margin of 19%) for the same period in 2014,
an increase of $236,753, or 60%. The U.S.-based segment decrease in cost of revenue and increase in gross margin corresponds with
the revenue-sharing arrangement pursuant to the IvedaSentry monitoring assignment. The Taiwan-based segment increased cost of
revenue and gross margin were primarily due to progress on long-term contracts.
Total
cost of revenue was $1,627,478 (77% of revenue, representing gross margin of 23%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015,
compared to $921,574 (76% of revenue, representing a gross margin of 24%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase
of $705,904, or 77%. The U.S.-based segment decrease in cost of revenue corresponds with the revenue-sharing arrangement pursuant
to the IvedaSentry monitoring assignment. The Taiwan-based segment increased cost of revenue and gross margin were primarily due
to progress on long-term contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Operating
Expenses. Operating expenses were $854,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.2 million for
the same period in 2014, a decrease of $365,532, or 30%. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to a continued
decrease in personnel, direct project-based marketing and sales expenses, consulting, and research and development expenses.
Operating
expenses were $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2014, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 35%. The decrease in operating expenses in 2015 over 2014 was primarily related to a
continued decrease in personnel, direct project-based marketing and sales expenses, consulting, and research and development expenses.
Loss
from Operations. As a result of the increase in revenue and the decrease in operating expenses, loss from operations decreased
to $665,152 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease in
loss of $463,144, or 41%.
As
a result of the overall increase in revenue and the decrease in operating expenses, loss from operations decreased to $2.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease
in loss of $1.7 million, or 41%.
Other
Expense-Net. Other expense-net was $288,674 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $73,041 for the
same period in 2014, an increase of $215,633, or 295%. The change is primarily due to the decrease of gain recorded on derivative
liability, interest expense on the converted debentures, increase in prepayment discount on stockholder note receivable, and loss
on disposed assets.
Other
expense-net was $319,660 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $194,407 for the nine months ended September
30, 2014, an increase of $125,253, or 64%. The increase is primarily related to prepayment discount on stockholder note receivable,
interest expense on the converted debentures, with reductions from loss on disposed assets.
Net
Loss. Net loss was $953,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.2 million for the same period
in 2014. The decrease of $247,669, or 21%, was primarily due to a decrease in U.S.-based segment operating expenses, including
personnel, direct project-based marketing and sales expenses, consulting, and research and development expenses in 2015 and an
increase in Taiwan-based segment revenue.
The
decrease of $1.5 million, or 36%, in the net loss to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $4.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was primarily the effect of an increase in gross profit and a decrease in operating
expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $136,320 in our U.S.-based segment and $106,476 in our Taiwan-based
segment, compared to $26,661 in our U.S.-based segment and $61,239 in our Taiwan-based segment as of December 31, 2014. This increase
in our cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of the early collection of a note receivable and operating profit from
Taiwan operations. There are no legal or economic factors that materially impact our ability to transfer funds between our U.S.-based
and Taiwan-based segments.
Net
cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.7 million compared to $4.2 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted
primarily of the net loss offset by approximately $148,630 of depreciation and amortization, $100,500 in non-cash stock option
compensation, and $262,194 of prepayment discount on stockholder note receivable. Cash used in operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of the net loss offset by $165,248 of depreciation and amortization and $242,000
in non-cash stock option compensation.
22
Net
cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3,868. Net cash used in investing activities
during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $244,145 primarily from the purchase of property and equipment consisting
of externally developed software.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.8 million compared with $4.2 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2015 consisted primarily of proceeds
from the sale of Series B Preferred Stock, stockholders note receivable proceeds, short-term debt proceeds, and related party
short-term debt proceeds. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2014 consisted primarily of the Series A convertible debt
converted to Series A Preferred Stock in December 2014, long-term debt proceeds, short-term debt proceeds, and related party short-term
debt proceeds.
We
have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. At September 30, 2015, we had approximately $22.0 million in
net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which will begin to expire in 2025 and could have
significant restrictions for use resulting from equity issuances and change of ownership. We did not recognize any benefit from
the federal net operating loss carryforwards in 2014. We also had approximately $18.0 million in state net operating loss carryforwards,
which began to expire in 2014.
We
have limited liquidity and have not yet established a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover operating costs, based
on our current estimated burn rate. Accordingly, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate
greater revenue through increased sales and/or our ability to raise additional funds through the capital markets. During the year
ended December 31, 2014, we engaged an investment bank to assist in evaluating potential equity financing opportunities. The investment
bank became the exclusive placement agent for the private placement of Series B Preferred Stock. We raised an aggregate of $3.1
million through the sale of Series B Preferred Stock . No assurance can be given that we will be successful in future financing
and revenue-generating efforts. Even if funding is available, we cannot assure investors that it will be available on terms that
are favorable to our existing stockholders. Additional funding may be achieved through the issuance of equity or debt securities
that could be significantly dilutive to the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. In addition, these newly issued
securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. Accordingly, such a financing
transaction could materially and adversely impact the price of our common stock.
Substantially
all of our cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit
in the United States may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Deposits
in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC Central Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) with maximum coverage
of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.
Our
accounts receivable are unsecured, and we are at risk to the extent such amounts become uncollectible. Although we perform periodic
evaluations of our customers’ credit and financial condition, we generally do not require collateral in exchange for our
products and services provided on credit. U.S.-based segment revenue from two customers represented approximately 43% of total
revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and U.S.-based segment accounts receivable from four customers represented approximately
91% of total U.S.-based segment accounts receivable at September 30, 2015. Taiwan-based segment revenue from three customers represented
approximately 85% of total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and Taiwan-based segment accounts receivable from
four customers represented approximately 96% of total Taiwan-based segment accounts receivable at September 30, 2015. No other
customers represented greater than 10% of total revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
We
provide an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection
information, and existing economic conditions. Payment terms for our U.S.-based segment require prepayment for our ZEE cameras
before they are shipped and monthly Sentir licensing fees, which are due in advance on the first day of each month. For our U.S.-based
segment, accounts receivable that are more than 120 days past due are considered delinquent. Payment terms for our Taiwan-based
segment vary based on our agreements with our customers. Generally, we receive payment for our products and services within one
year of commencing the project, except that we retain 5% of the total payment amount and release such amount one year after the
completion of the project. Although our Taiwan-based segment had 61% of gross accounts receivables aged over 180 days at September
30, 2015, we provide an allowance for doubtful accounts for any receivables that will not be paid within one year, which excludes
such retained amounts. For our U.S.-based segment, we set up doubtful accounts receivable allowances of $0 and $763 for the quarters
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For our Taiwan-based segment, we set up doubtful accounts receivable allowances
of $328,359 and $357,064 for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We deem the rest of our accounts receivable
to be collectible based on certain factors, including the nature of the customer contracts and past experience with similar customers.
Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer, and we
generally do not charge interest on past due receivables.
Effects
of Inflation
For
the periods for which financial information is presented, we do not believe that the current levels of inflation in the United
States have had a significant impact on our operations. Likewise, we do not believe that the current levels of inflation in Taiwan
have had a significant impact on the operations of MEGAsys.
23
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured
finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements
or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have
not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit
risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
