NOTES TO THE (UNAUDITED) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Iveda has been offering real-time IP video surveillance technologies to our customers since 2005. While we still offer video surveillance technologies, our core product line has evolved to include AI intelligent search technology that provide true intelligence to any video surveillance system and IoT (Internet of Things) devices and platforms. Our evolution is in response to digital transformation demands from many cities and organizations across the globe. Our IvedaAI intelligent video search technology adds critical intelligence to normally passive video surveillance systems. IvedaAI provides AI functions to any IP camera and most popular network video recorders (NVR) and video management systems (VMS). IvedaAI comes with an appliance or server, preconfigured with multiple AI functions based on the end user requirements. AI Functions ● Object Search ● Face Search (No Database Required) ●  Face Recognition (from a Database) ● License Plate Recognition (100+ Countries), includes make and model ● Intrusion Detection ● Weapon Detection ● Fire Detection ● People Counting ● Vehicle Counting ● Temperature Detection ● Public Health Analytics (Facemask Detection, ● QR and Barcode Detection Key Features ● Live Camera View ● Live Tracking ● Abnormality Detection – Vehicle/Person wrong direction detection ● Vehicle/Person Loitering Detection ● Fall Detection ● Illegal Parking Detection ● Heatmap Generation IvedaAI consists of deep-learning video analytics software running in a computer/server environment that can either be deployed at an edge level or data center for centralized cloud model. We combined hardware and artificial intelligence software for fast and efficient video search for objects stored in an external (NVR) or storage device and live-streaming video data from any IP camera. IvedaAI works with any ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and most popular NVR/VMS (Video Management System) platforms, enabling accurate search across dozens to thousands of cameras in less than 1 second. IvedaAI products are designed to maximize efficiency, save time, and cut cost. Users can set up alerts instead of watching hours of video recording after-the-fact. Iveda offers many IoT sensors and devices for a variety of applications such as energy management, smart home, smart building, smart community, and patient/elder care. Together, our gateway and station serve as the main hub for sensors and devices in any given area. They are equipped with high-level communication protocols such as Zigbee, WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB. They connect to the Internet via Ethernet or cellular data network. We provide IoT platforms that enable centralized device management and push digital services on a massive scale. Our smart devices include water sensor, environment sensor, entry sensor, smart plug, siren, body temperature pad, care watch and tracking devices. 8 We also offer smart power technology for office buildings, schools, shopping centers, hotels, hospitals, and smart city projects. Our smart power hardware is equipped with an RS485 communication interface allowing the meters to be connected to various third-party SCADA software for monitoring and control purposes. This line of product includes smart power, water meter, smart lighting controls systems, and smart payment system. Iveda’s Cerebro manages all the components of our smart power technology including statistics on energy consumption. Cerebro is a software platform designed to integrate multiple unconnected energy, security and safety applications and devices and control them through one comprehensive user interface. Cerebro’s roadmap includes dashboard for all of Iveda’s platforms for central device management. Cerebro is system agnostic and will support cross-platform interoperability. The common unified user interface will allow remote control of platforms, sensors and subsystems throughout an entire environment. This integration and unification of all subsystems enable acquisition and analysis of all information on one central command center, allowing comprehensive, effective, and overall management and protection of a city. Iveda’s Utilus smart pole technology is a smart power management and wireless mesh communications network deployed on new or existing light pole structures. The Utilus network uses WiFi, 4G and 5G small cell capabilities, and other wireless protocols to provide distributed video surveillance with AI video search technology and remote management of local devices such as trackers, water meters, electrical meters, valves, circuit breakers and sensors. In the last few years, smart city has been a hot topic among municipalities across the globe. With little to no human interaction, technology increases efficiency, expedites decision making, and reduces response time. Dwindling public safety budgets and resources has necessitated the transformation. More and more municipalities are using next-generation technologies to improve the safety and security of its citizens. Our response is our complete suite of IoT technologies, including AI intelligent video search technology, smart sensors, tracking devices, video surveillance systems, and smart power. 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. While we only used off-the shelf camera systems from well-known camera brands, we now source our own cameras using manufacturers in Taiwan in order for us to be more flexible in fulfilling our customer needs. We now have the capability to provide IP cameras and NVRs based on customer specifications. We still utilize ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) cameras which is a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products. In 2014, we changed our revenue model from direct project-based sales to licensing our platform and selling IoT hardware to service providers such as telecommunications companies, integrators and other technology resellers already providing services to an existing customer base. Partnering with service providers that have an existing loyal subscriber base allows us to focus on servicing just a handful of our partners and concentrating on our technology offering. Service providers leverage their end-user infrastructure to sell, bill, and provide customer service for Iveda’s product offering. This business model provides dual revenue streams – one from hardware sales and the other from monthly licensing fees. Our Taiwan-based subsidiary Iveda Taiwan, formerly known as MEGAsys, our wholly-owned subsidiary, 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. Iveda Taiwan combines security surveillance products, software, and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Through Iveda Taiwan, we have access not only to Asian markets but also to Asian manufacturers and engineering expertise. Iveda Taiwan is our research and development arm, working with a team of developers in Taiwan. Consolidation Effective April 30, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Taiwan-based Sole Vision Technologies (dba Iveda Taiwan). We consolidate our financial statements with the financial statements of Iveda Taiwan. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 9 Going Concern The accompanying 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. We generated accumulated losses of approximately $ 42 million from January 2005 through March 31, 2021 and have insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The 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. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We have a significant amount of property and equipment, consisting primarily of leased equipment. We review the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. We did not make any impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021. Basis of Accounting Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue and Expense 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 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 is 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. 10 The Company sells its products and services primarily to municipalities and commercial customers in the following manner: ● The majority of Iveda Taiwan sales are project sales to Taiwan customers and are made direct to the end customer (typically a municipality or a commercial customer) through its sales force, which is composed of its employees. Revenue is recorded when the equipment is shipped to the end customer and charged for service when installation or maintenance work is performed. Revenues from fixed-price equipment installation contracts (project sales) are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage completed is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change. Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated. ● The majority of Iveda US hardware sales are to international customers and are made through independent distributors or integrators who purchase products from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically municipalities or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor or integrator generally maintains product inventory or product is drop shipped from the manufacturer, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Accordingly, upon application of steps one through five above, revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the distributor or as directed by the distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement. ● Iveda US also sells software that include licensing fees that are paid either monthly or yearly. The revenues are recorded monthly, annual license revenue will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective time period. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Our current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment. Concentrations Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. 11 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 FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC Insurance limit. Accounts receivables 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. One customer (Chunghwa Telecom) represented approximately 95 % of total accounts receivable of $ 492,752 as of December 31, 2021. This customer is a longtime customer, and we don’t expect any problem with collectability of these accounts receivable. We had revenue from two customers with greater than 10 % of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 that represented approximately 39 % and 55 % of total revenues, respectively. We had $ 58,086 revenues ( 25 %) from Chunghwa Telecom and $ 29,013 revenues ( 13 %) from Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation of total revenues of $ 230,857 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We had $ 786,686 revenues ( 41 %) from Chunghwa Telecom and $ 260,946 revenues ( 14 %) from Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation of total revenues of $ 1,917,848 for the year ended December 31, 2021. No other customers represented greater than 10 % of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable We provide an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. For our U.S.-based segment, receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent. For our Taiwan-based segment, receivables over one year are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 no allowance for uncollectible accounts was deemed necessary for our U.S.-based segment. Deposits – Current Our current deposits represent tender deposits placed with local governments and major customers in Taiwan during the bidding process for new proposed projects. Other Current Assets Other current assets represent cash paid in advance to insurance companies and vendors for service coverage extending into subsequent periods. Inventories We review our inventories for excess or obsolete products or components based on an analysis of historical usage and an evaluation of estimated future demand, market conditions, and alternative uses for possible excess or obsolete parts. The allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventory is $ 0 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $ 4,657 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $ 15,016 . 12 Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of Iveda Taiwan. Such assets are fully amortized at December 31, 2021. Deposits—Long-Term Long-term deposits consist of a deposit related to the leases of Iveda Taiwan’ office space, and tender deposits placed with local governments and major customers in Taiwan as part of the bidding process, which are anticipated to be held more than one year if the bid is accepted. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from sales cut-off, depreciation, deferred rent expense, and net operating losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that represents our best estimate of such deferred tax assets that, more likely than not, will be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. During 2021, we reevaluated the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and determined that no current benefits should be recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as state income tax. Our U.S. income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state, and local authorities. Our U.S. tax returns for the years 2017 to 2021 are open to examination by federal, local, and state authorities.

Accounts and Other Payables SCHEDULE OF ACCOUNTS AND OTHER PAYABLES March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Accounts Payable $ 138,228 $ 62,889 Accrued Expenses 2,757,814 2,834,726 Deferred Revenue and Customer Deposits 95,687 58,211 Accounts and Other Payables $ 2,991,729 $ 2,955,826 Deferred Revenue Advance payments received from customers on future installation projects are recorded as deferred revenue. 13 Stock-Based Compensation On January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the recognition of an expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. We elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense includes compensation expense for stock-based compensation granted on or after the date ASC 718 was adopted based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, were estimated using the “minimum value method” as prescribed by original provisions of ASC 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for these awards in accordance with ASC 718. We recognized $ 67,500 and $ 801,908 of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, 0 payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate their fair values or because they are receivable or payable on demand. 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 business conducted and the customer bases located in the United States. The net revenues and net assets (liabilities) for other significant geographic regions are as follows: SCHEDULE OF NET REVENUE AND NET ASSETS (LIABILITIES) FOR OTHER SIGNIFICANT GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) Net Revenue Net Assets (Liabilities) United States $ 7,882 $ ( 2,606,975 ) Republic of China (Taiwan) $ 324,698 $ 763,867 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. Reclassification Certain amounts in 2021 have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation.

NOTE 6 STOCK OPTION PLAN AND WARRANTS Stock Options On October 15, 2009, we adopted the 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “2009 Option Plan”), with an aggregate number of 187,500 shares of common stock issuable under the plan. The purpose of the 2009 Option Plan was to assume options that were already issued in the 2006 and 2008 Option plans under Iveda Corporation after the merger with Charmed Homes. On January 18, 2010, we adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Option Plan”), which allows the Board to grant options to purchase up to 125,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, key employees, and service providers of our company. In 2011, the 2010 Option Plan was amended to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2010 Option Plan to 375,000 shares. In 2012, 2010 Option Plan was again amended to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2010 Option Plan to 1,625,000 shares. The shares issuable pursuant to the 2010 Option Plan are registered with the SEC under Forms S-8 filed on February 4, 2010 (No. 333- 164691), June 24, 2011 (No. 333-175143), and December 4, 2013 (No. 333-192655). The 2010 Option Plan expired on January 18, 2020. We adopted a new plan called Iveda Solutions, Inc. 2020 Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan will have a maximum of 10 million option shares authorized with similar terms and conditions to the 2010 Option Plan. This plan has not been approved by the shareholders. As of December 31, 2021, there were 893,438 options outstanding under all the option plans. 16 Stock options may be granted as either incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or as options not qualified under Section 422 of the Code. All options are issued with an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by our Board of Directors. Incentive stock option plan awards of restricted stock are intended to qualify as deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Incentive Stock Option awards of unrestricted stock are not designed to be deductible to us under Section 162(m). Under the plans, stock options will terminate on the tenth anniversary date of the grant or earlier if provided in the grant. We have also granted non-qualified stock options to employees and contractors. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price no less than the fair 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 to others that ratably vest over a period of time up to four years. Standard vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship 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. At December 31, 2021, we had approximately $ 4,500 unrecognized stock-based compensation.

As of December 31, 2021, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $ 29 million which will begin to expire in 2025 . We also have Arizona net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $ 2.0 million which expire after five years. These carryforwards have been utilized in the determination of the deferred income taxes for financial statement purposes. The following table accounts for federal net operating loss carryforwards only. SUMMARY OF OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS Year Ending Net Operating Year of December 31, Loss: Expiration 2021 $ 1,000,000 2041 2020 590,000 2040 2019 260,000 2039 2018 160,000 2038 2017 140,000 2037 2016 1,640,000 2036 2015 3,400,000 2035 2014 5,230,000 2034 2013 5,600,000 2033 2012 2,850,000 2032 2011 2,427,000 2031 2010 1,799,000 2030 2009 1,750,000 2029 2008 1,308,000 2028 2007 429,000 2027 2006 476,000 2026 2005 414,000 2025 Taiwan (Republic of China) Corporate Tax Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. is a subsidiary of the Company which is operating in Taiwan as a profit-seeking enterprise. Its applicable corporate income tax rate is 17%. In addition, Taiwan’s corporate tax system allows the government to levy a 10% profit retention tax on undistributed earnings for the prior year. This tax will not be provided if the company distributed the earnings before the ended of the fiscal year . According to the Taiwan corporate income tax (“TCIT”) reporting system, the TCIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the business tax classified as value-added type (“VAT”) which will be reported to the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) on a bi-monthly basis. Since the VAT and TCIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on business tax on a VAT tax reporting system, the Company is bound to report the TCIT according to the MOF prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off did not take the accrual base but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the company adopted US GAAP on accrual basis, the sales cut-off TCIT timing difference which derived from the VAT reporting system will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference and this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations. 19 NOTE 8 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 Three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. SCHEDULE OF EARNINGS PER SHARE BASIC AND DILUTED March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) March 31, 2021 (Unaudited) Basic EPS Net Loss $ ( 666,798 ) $ ( 634,714 ) Weighted Average Shares 9,672,508 7,209,589 Basic Loss Per Share $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.09 ) NOTE 9 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES—TAIWAN Pursuant to certain contracts with Siemens, Chung-Hsin Electric and Machinery Manufacturing Corp, Iveda Taiwan is required to provide after-project services. If Iveda Taiwan fails to provide these after-project services in the future, other parties of the related contract would have recourse. The financial exposure to Iveda Taiwan in the event of failure to provide after- project services in the future as of December 31, 2021 is $ 61,435 . NOTE 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were available for issuance are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Based upon this review, except as disclosed within the footnotes or as discussed below, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements On April 5, 2022 we closed the Stock and Warrant Offering that was committed to by Underwriting Agreement effective March 31, 2022 for $ 8,011,250 . 20 Item 2.

Overview Iveda has been offering real-time IP video surveillance technologies to our customers since 2005. While we still offer video surveillance technologies, our core product line has evolved to include AI intelligent search technology that provide true intelligence to any video surveillance system and IoT (Internet of Things) devices and platforms. Our evolution is in response to digital transformation demands from many cities and organizations across the globe. Our IvedaAI intelligent video search technology adds critical intelligence to normally passive video surveillance systems. IvedaAI provides AI functions to any IP camera and most popular network video recorders (NVR) and video management systems (VMS). IvedaAI comes with an appliance or server, preconfigured with multiple AI functions based on the end user requirements. 21 AI Functions ● Object Search ● Face Search (No Database Required) ● Face Recognition (from a Database) ● License Plate Recognition (100+ Countries), includes make and model ● Intrusion Detection ● Weapon Detection ● Fire Detection ● People Counting ● Vehicle Counting ● Temperature Detection ● Public Health Analytics (Facemask Detection, ● QR and Barcode Detection Key Features ● Live Camera View ● Live Tracking ● Abnormality Detection – Vehicle/Person wrong direction detection ● Vehicle/Person Loitering Detection ● Fall Detection ● Illegal Parking Detection ● Heatmap Generation IvedaAI consists of deep-learning video analytics software running in a computer/server environment that can either be deployed at an edge level or data center for centralized cloud model. We combined hardware and artificial intelligence software for fast and efficient video search for objects stored in an external (NVR) or storage device and live-streaming video data from any IP camera. IvedaAI works with any ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and most popular NVR/VMS (Video Management System) platforms, enabling accurate search across dozens to thousands of cameras in less than 1 second. IvedaAI products are designed to maximize efficiency, save time, and cut cost. Users can set up alerts instead of watching hours of video recording after the fact. Iveda offers many IoT sensors and devices for a variety of applications such as energy management, smart home, smart building, smart community, and patient/elder care. Together, our gateway and station serve as the main hub for sensors and devices in any given area. They are equipped with high-level communication protocols such as Zigbee, WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB. They connect to the Internet via Ethernet or cellular data network. We provide IoT platforms that enable centralized device management and push digital services on a massive scale.

Our smart power hardware is equipped with an RS485 communication interface allowing the meters to be connected to various third-party SCADA software for monitoring and control purposes. This line of product includes smart power, water meter, smart lighting controls systems, and smart payment system. Iveda’s Cerebro manages all the components of our smart power technology including statistics on energy consumption. Cerebro is a software platform designed to integrate multiple unconnected energy, security and safety applications and devices and control them through one comprehensive user interface. Cerebro’s roadmap includes a dashboard for all Iveda’s platforms for central device management. Cerebro is system-agnostic and will support cross-platform interoperability. The common unified user interface will allow remote control of platforms, sensors, and subsystems throughout an entire environment. This integration and unification of all subsystems enable acquisition and analysis of all information on one central command center, allowing comprehensive, effective, and overall management and protection of a city. Iveda’s Utilus smart pole technology is a smart power management and wireless mesh communications network deployed on new or existing light pole structures. The Utilus network uses WiFi, 4G and 5G small cell capabilities, and other wireless protocols to provide distributed video surveillance with AI video search technology and remote management of local devices such as trackers, water meters, electrical meters, valves, circuit breakers and sensors. In the last few years, smart city has been a hot topic among municipalities across the globe. With little to no human interaction, technology increases efficiency, expedites decision making, and reduces response time. Dwindling public safety budgets and resources has necessitated the transformation. More and more municipalities are using next-generation technologies to improve the safety and security of its citizens. Our response is our complete suite of IoT technologies, including AI intelligent video search technology, smart sensors, tracking devices, video surveillance systems, and smart power. We license our platform and sell IoT hardware to service providers such as telecommunications companies, integrators and other technology resellers already providing services to an existing customer base. Partnering with service providers that have an existing loyal customer base allows us to focus on servicing just a handful of our partners and concentrating on our technology offering. Service providers leverage their end-user infrastructure to sell, bill, and provide customer service for Iveda’s product offering. This business model provides dual revenue streams – one from hardware sales and the other from monthly licensing fees. Iveda Taiwan, 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. Iveda Taiwan combines security surveillance products, software, and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Iveda Taiwan’s operations accounted for 93% and 71% of our total revenue, respectively. 23 The acquisition of Iveda Taiwan 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 Iveda Taiwan’s product sourcing expertise to enhance our custom integration capabilities. ● Enhancements to the global distribution potential for our products and services. 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 licensed, through our subsidiary, Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc., the right to use U.S. Patent No. 8,719,442 (as well as its Taiwanese and Chinese counterparts) with respect to the development of cloud-video technologies. In June and August 2014, in collaboration with our local partner 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. 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 our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Such policies are unchanged. New Accounting Standards There were no new standards recently issued which would have an impact on our operations or disclosures. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Net Revenue We recorded net consolidated revenue of $0.23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of ($0.1) million, or (31%). For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our recurring service revenue was $41,336, or 18% of net revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $189,521, or 82% of net revenue. In fiscal 2021, our recurring service revenue was $28,298, or 9% of consolidated net revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $304,105, or 91% of net revenue. The decrease in total revenue in 2021 compared with the same period in fiscal 2020 is attributable primarily to decreased equipment sales from Iveda Taiwan as a result of delivery timing related to long-term contracts awarded and started during 2021. 24 Cost of Revenue Total cost of revenue was $0.09 million (39% of revenue; gross margin of 61%) for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.02 million (65% of revenue; 35% gross margin) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of ($0.10 million), or (58%). The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily driven by decreased Iveda Taiwan revenue. The increase in overall gross margin was also primarily attributed to increased margin Iveda Taiwan revenue as a result of additional long-term contracts awarded and started during 2021. Operating Expenses Operating expenses were $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.2 million, or 40%. This net increase in operating expenses in 2022 compared with 2021 is due primarily related to a ramp up in personnel in the US based administrative, sales and technical support personnel as well as research and development expenses for IvedaAI. Loss from Operations Loss from operations increased to $0.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.2 million, or 44%. A majority of the increase in loss from operations was primarily due to increased operating expenses. Other Expense-Net Other expense-net was $12,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $182,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $170,048, or 93%. The majority of the other expense for 2021 was interest expense accrued for convertible debentures, valuation of the convertible debenture features and the value of warrants given as incentive for the convertible debentures during 2021. Net Loss Net loss was $0.67 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with $0.63 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $0.32 million, or 5%, in net loss was caused primarily by a increase in operating expenses related to a ramp up in personnel in the US-based administrative, sales and technical support personnel as well as research and development expenses for IvedaAI. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.75 million compared to $0.82 million as of March 31, 2021. This decrease in our cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of the operating losses during the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.77 million compared to $0.16 million net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of the $0.67 million net loss including $0.07 million of non-cash charges (primarily stock option compensation), $0.24 of inventory and a decrease by $0.3 million in additional accrued expenses offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in accounts receivable. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of the $0.44 million net loss, $0.1 increase in inventory and offset by $0.18 million in additional accrued expenses. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4,696. Net cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $2,466. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.15 million compared with $0.63 million provided during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2022 is primarily a result of the proceeds from bank loans in Taiwan for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2020 consisted primarily of $0.63 million common stock sold at the U.S based operations. 25 We have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $29 million in net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which will begin to expire in 2025. We did not recognize any benefit from the federal net operating loss carryforwards in 2021 or 2020. We also had approximately $2.0 million in state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire after five years. 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. 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 three financial institutions, two in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (“Central Deposit Insurance Corporation”) 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. 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 most products 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. For our U.S.-based segment, we had no doubtful accounts receivable allowances for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021. For our Taiwan-based segment, we set up no doubtful accounts receivable allowances for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021. 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. 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 the Company has offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners. Like most businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. By that time, much of our first fiscal quarter was completed. During the remainder of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company observed decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily municipalities and commercial customers in Taiwan as well as delays in project timelines in Taiwan. The Company estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in decreases of approximately $1.2 million revenues and $0.3 million gross profit contribution for the year ended March 31, 2021 and $0.2 million revenues and $0.05 million gross profit contribution for the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, the Company is beginning to experience an increase in demand for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the last half of 2020. 26 Given the fact that the Company’s products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, the Company expects its sales will experience more volatility as a result of the changing and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is aware that many companies, including many of its suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although the Company observed significant declines in demand for its products from certain customers during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company believes that the impact of the COVID-19 remains too fluid and unknown, hindering the Company from determining the long-term demand for current products. The Company also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may go through several phases of varying severity and duration. The Company does not expect there to be material changes to its assets on its balance sheet or its ability to timely account for those assets. The Company has also reviewed the potential impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items. To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted its ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver products or services to customers. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm the business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist its customers and distributors as well as impact its ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present the Company does not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. The Company has taken steps to restrain and monitor its operating expenses and therefore it does not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues. Like most companies, the Company has taken a range of actions with respect to how it operates to assure it complies with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of its employees and its ability to continue operating its business effectively. To date, the Company has been able to operate its business effectively using these measures and to maintain internal controls as documented and posted. The Company also has not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and does not expect to incur material expenditures to do so. However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future. The actions the Company has taken so far during the COVID-19 pandemic include, but are not limited to, requiring all employees who can work from home to work from home and increasing its IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office. The Company currently believes revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 has been impacted due to the conditions noted. Based on the Company’s current cash position and its projected cash flow from operations, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital and or have access to sufficient capital through public and private equity and debt offerings to sustain operations for a period of one year following the date of this filing. If business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic were to be prolonged or expanded in scope, the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. The Company will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity. 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 Iveda Taiwan. 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. 27 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of March 31, 2022, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management’s evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or Board override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 28 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
