9A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Evaluation
Date”), concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable
assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2024, our Principal Executive Officer
and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance
that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is 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.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Rule 13a-15(f). Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on
the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the “COSO Framework”). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with U.S. GAAP.
As of December 31, 2024, management assessed the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework of 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)
and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that as of December
31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses:
The material weaknesses identified include (i) the
Company had inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives and (ii) the Company had an insufficient number of personnel
with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and ongoing training in the application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure
requirements commensurate with the Company’s financial reporting requirements.
We are working to remediate the deficiencies and material
weaknesses. Our remediation efforts are ongoing, and we will continue our initiatives to implement and document policies, procedures,
and internal controls. We have taken steps to enhance our internal control environment and plan to take additional steps to remediate
the deficiencies and address material weaknesses. In addition, we continue to evaluate, remediate and improve our internal control over
financial reporting, executive management may elect to implement additional measures to address control deficiencies or may determine
that the remediation efforts described above require modification. Executive management, in consultation with and at the direction of
our Audit Committee, will continue to assess the control environment and the above-mentioned efforts to remediate the underlying causes
of the identified material weaknesses.
Although we plan to complete this remediation process
as quickly as possible, we are unable, at this time to estimate how long it will take; and our efforts may not be successful in remediating
the deficiencies or material weaknesses.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation
report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC
that permit the company to provide only management’s report on internal control in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
33
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. These include the
fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures
such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process. Therefore, even those systems determined to
be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent
limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal
control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.

ITEM
11 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Summary
Compensation Table
We
believe that it is important to design a compensation program that supports our business strategy. As a result, our compensation program
emphasizes performance-based compensation and is designed to support our business goals, promote short- and long-term growth, and attract,
retain, and motivate key talent. Our compensation program is comprised of three components: base salary, bonus awards, and long-term
performance incentives.
We
believe that our executive officers and other key employees should have a portion of their potential annual compensation tied to our
profitability and our other goals. Additionally, we seek to align the ability to earn long-term incentives directly with the interests
of our stockholders through the use of equity-based incentives. We strive to ensure compensation is competitive with companies similar
to us; however, we acknowledge that base salaries are currently below market.
The
following table sets forth certain information with respect to compensation for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, earned by
or paid to our chief executive officer and principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and our other most highly compensated
executive officers whose total compensation exceeded US $100,000 (the “named executive officers”).

Equity
Compensation Plans
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 15,625 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 203,125 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. As of December 31, 2024 there
were 23,659 options outstanding under the 2010 Option Plan.
On
December 15, 2020, we adopted the Iveda Solutions, Inc. 2020 Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan has a maximum of 156,250
shares authorized with similar terms and conditions to the 2010 Option Plan. As of December 31, 2024 there were 193,397 options outstanding
under the 2020 Option Plan. The shares issuable pursuant to the 2020 Option Plan are registered with the SEC under Forms S-8 filed on
October 7, 2022 (No. 333- 267792). In 2024, the 2020 Option Plan was amended to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2020
Option Plan to 656,250 shares.
As
of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 217,056 and 162,265 options outstanding, respectively, under all the option plans.
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.
39
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, 2024, we had approximately
$7,854 unrecognized stock-based compensation.
Director
Compensation
Non-employee
directors receive stock-based compensation for their service on our Board of Directors and are reimbursed for their cost of attending

Incentive-Based

The
Company adopted an Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10D-1 under the
Exchange Act. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial
statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error
were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, subject to the terms of the policy, the Company must
recover reasonably promptly from its current and former executive officers the amount of any erroneously awarded incentive based compensation
received on or after October 2, 2023 and during the three years preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare such accounting
restatement.

13 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions
with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons
Other
than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other similar arrangements, which are described under “Executive
and Director Compensation.”, since January 1, 2024 there are no transactions to which we were a party in which (i) the amount involved
exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 of one percent (1%) of our average total assets at year-end for the last two completed
fiscal years and (ii) any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the
immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest.
Director
Independence
Our
Board of Directors has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees, and the independence of each director.
Our Board of Directors has determined, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, that Messrs. Farnsworth, Franco,
Gillen, and Omi do not have a relationship with us that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their
responsibilities as a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC. In making this determination, our Board of Directors considered the current and prior relationships
that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in
determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. Our Board of Directors
did not consider any relationship or transaction between our company and the independent directors not already disclosed in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K in making this determination. Mr. Ly is an employee director.
The
Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Farnsworth (Chairman), Franco and Gillen, each of whom is an independent director of our
company. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Farnsworth (Chairman), Franco and Gillen, each of whom is an independent
director of our company. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Gillen (Chairman), Farnsworth,
and Franco, each of whom is an independent director of our company.

14 – PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Fees
Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In
February 2025, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, we appointed Weinberg &Co (“Weinberg”)
as our principal accounting firm. Weinberg has served as the principal audit firm for Iveda 2024 and 2023 Financial Statements since
February 2025. No fees were paid to or accrued in 2024 related to Weinberg’s services.
We
paid or accrued $283,000 and $137,500 for audit fees, during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During 2024 we paid $93,500
to BF Borgers for the audit of 2023. BF Borgers was sanctioned by the SEC in May 2024. No other fees were paid to Borgers for the respective periods.
On
May 10, 2024 we engaged Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP (“KC”) to do the quarterly 10-Q reviews for 2024 and a re-audit of 2023 and
2024. We paid KC $189,500 for their 10-Q reviews and their work on the re-audit until we replaced them with Weinberg in February 2025.
KC did not finish or opine on the 2023 or 2024 audits. No other fees were paid to KC.
Audit
Committee Pre-Approval Policies
As
part of its responsibility for oversight of the independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee has established a pre-approval
policy for engaging audit and permitted non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accountants, Weinberg. In accordance
with this policy, each type of audit, audit-related, tax and other permitted service to be provided by the independent auditors is specifically
described and each such service, together with a fee level or budgeted amount for such service, is pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee has delegated authority to its Chairman to pre-approve additional non-audit services (provided such services are
not prohibited by applicable law) up to a pre-established aggregate dollar limit. All services pre-approved by the Chairman of the Audit
Committee must be presented at the next Audit Committee meeting for review and ratification. All of the services provided by Weinberg
described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to our Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy.
Our
principal accountants, Weinberg, did not engage any other persons or firms other than their respective full-time, permanent employees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Iveda Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated
financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the
Company experienced net losses and negative operating cash flows during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters
are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a
matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit
committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions
on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Deferred
Costs of Goods
As described further in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company’s accounting policy is to classify inventory that has been purchased and delivered to customer
locations in Taiwan as a deferred cost until the Company has completed its performance obligations. These deferred costs totaled $507,308
as of December 31, 2024. We identified the existence and realization of these assets as a critical audit matter because of the materiality
of the deferred costs, and that a high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate various factors used in the Company’s
evaluation of the existence and realization of these assets.
Our audit procedures related to the existence and
realization of this asset included the following:
● We obtained an understanding of Managements policy and process for assessing the existence and realization
of these assets.
● We obtained detail schedules of these deferred costs at December 31, 2024, and examined the underlying
documentation relating to the purchase of these assets.
● Verified through our testing that the inventories were delivered to the customer site.
● Verified realization of these assets through examination of subsequent collections, completion of performance
obligation and corresponding recognition of revenue.
The December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements,
which were audited by another auditor, have been restated (See Note 11).
We have served as the Company’s auditor since
2025.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Iveda Solutions, Inc. (“Iveda”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada as Charmed Homes, Inc. in June 2006.
On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight, d/b/a Iveda, a Washington corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December
2010, IntelaSight merged with and into the Company and the Company became the surviving company. Iveda offered the first cloud hosting
of streaming and recorded video from security cameras for its customers and real-time remote surveillance service utilizing intervention
specialists to watch our customers’ cameras in real time, 24/7. Iveda offers smart city technologies globally, offering advanced
AI-driven video surveillance solutions and a robust suite of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms that power digital transformation for
cities and commercial clients worldwide.
Consolidation
Effective
April 30, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Sole Vision Technologies (fka MEGAsys and dba Iveda Taiwan), a company based in Taiwan.
We consolidate our financial statements with the financial statements of Iveda Taiwan. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company experienced net losses and
negative operating cash flows during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
At
December 31, 2024, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $ 2,658,300 . Management does not expect that its current liquidity
will support operations from a date of twelve months from the issuance of this financial statement. As a result, management has concluded
that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the company cannot continue as a going concern.
The
continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue
operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if
available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing,
it may contain undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders,
in case of equity financing.
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. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to
accounts receivable, deferred cost of revenue, share-based compensation, deferred income taxes, provisions for losses, and inventory
reserve, among other items.
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 unless installation is required as with certain of our Taiwan sales – see below. 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.
F- 9
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 unless the contract requires the inventory to be installed before it can be billed and charged for service
when installation or maintenance work is performed. If inventory is shipped to the customer before it is installed the inventory
is reclassified to Deferred Cost of Goods.
Revenue
for product and software sales without installation is recorded when the product and/or software has been shipped to the customer. Revenue
from fixed-price equipment installation contracts, if any, is recognized as the contracts allow for invoicing at various milestones.
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 revenue when their realization is deemed earned by the contract.
●
Iveda
US hardware sales are to domestic and 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, if the
license is paid yearly the revenue will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective time
period.
●
Iveda
US also sells hardware and software warranty and maintenance for an annual fee that are paid yearly. The revenues are recorded annually,
if the revenue is a material amount it will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective
time period.

The Company sells and installs video
surveillance systems comprised of various components of hardware and software.
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.
Substantially
all 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.
F- 10
Revenue
from five customers out of approximately 70 total customers represented approximately 67 % of total revenue for the year ended December
31, 2024. These specific customers were 1) Chunghwa Telecom with 18 % 2) SECURITY INTEGRATION & CONSULTANT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. with
16 %, 3) Chicony Power Technology Co Ltd with 11 % and 4) HWACOM SYSTEMS INC. with 10 %, (all Taiwan companies) and Claro Enterprise Solutions
(a US company) with 12 %. Revenue from two customers out of 65 total customers represented approximately 48 % of total revenue for the
year ended December 31, 2023. These specific customers were 1) YOU MING HUEI CO. LTD with 25 %, 2) Chicony Power Technology Co Ltd with
23 %, (both Taiwan companies). Total number of customers were 70 and 65, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
52 %
of the total accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 was from one customer out of a total of 42 customer accounts receivable accounts.
This specific customer was Chunghwa Telecom. Our accounts receivables 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 do not require collateral
in exchange for our products and services provided on credit. These customers are longtime customers, and we don’t expect any problem
with the collectability of these accounts receivable.
No
other customers represented greater than 10 % of total revenues in years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
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.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of its subsidiary located in Taiwan.
The subsidiary’s functional currency is the Taiwan New Dollar (TWD). For consolidation purposes, the subsidiary’s financial statements
are translated into US Dollars (USD) using the following methods: Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate
at the balance sheet date. Income statement items are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate
fluctuations between TWD and USD result in gains or losses that are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) until they are realized.
The Company had $ 1,025,675 and $ 1,959,399 of its cash and cash equivalents in Taiwan New Dollars at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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, if any, 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, no allowance for uncollectible accounts
was deemed necessary.
Other
Current Assets
Other
current assets represent cash paid in advance to vendors for service coverage extending into subsequent periods, advances to suppliers
of product and tender deposits placed with local governments and major customers in Taiwan during the bidding process for new proposed
projects.
Deferred
Cost of Goods
In
Taiwan we ship product to be held at the customer locations in advance of installment per the contract with the customer. We reclassify
inventory that we have purchased and delivered to the customer location to Deferred Cost of Goods until this product is installed
and can be invoiced to the customer.
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”)
basis. 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. There was no allowance for slow-moving and obsolete
inventory necessary as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 3
to seven years . Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years
ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $ 31,805 and $ 19,753 , respectively.
We
have a relatively minimal amount of property and equipment, consisting primarily of office 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. Management determined that there was no indicator of impairment as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
F- 11
Equity
Method Investment
The
Company accounts for investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating
policies, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investments are initially recorded at cost,
and subsequently increased for capital contributions and allocations of net income, and decreased for capital distributions and allocations
of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the equity method investment is allocated based on the Company’s economic interest.
Equity method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss
is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based
on current plans, intended holding periods, and available information at the time the analysis is prepared. During 2023 the Company made a $ 180,000 investment for a 40 % interest in
Iveda Phils Joint Venture (located in the Philippines). Based on Management’s
assessment, the value of its equity method investment was impaired as of December 31, 2023, and as such, recorded an impairment charge
of $ 180,000 . As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the remaining value of its investments was $ 0 .
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.
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 2020 to 2023 are open to examination by federal, local, and state authorities.
Our
Taiwan tax returns are subject to review and examination by the Taiwan Ministry of Finance. Our Taiwan tax return for the years 2020
to 2023 are open to examination by the Taiwan Ministry of Finance.
Restricted
Cash
Restricted
cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans in our Taiwan-based segment.
Deferred
Revenue
Advance
payments received from customers on future installation projects are recorded as deferred revenue until such time our performance obligations on the contracts are completed.
F- 12
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock, stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in
non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on
ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees
as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in
the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated
using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility,
expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived
from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option
Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. We recognized $ 122,600 and $ 104,600 of
stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses various inputs in determining the
fair value of its financial assets and liabilities and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value
are categorized by the level of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Accounting Standards Codification
Section 820 defines the following levels of subjectivity associated with the inputs:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices
in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is
little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of December 31,
2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 they are short-term in nature and their
carrying amounts approximate their fair values or because they are receivable or payable on demand. The carrying values of financing
obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.
New
Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure , which
is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense
categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s
profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided
in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting ,
including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. The adoption
of 2023-7 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In
November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose
in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases
of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses
are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the
effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of
this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements and guidance issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on
the Company’s present or future financial statements.

4 PREFERRED STOCK
We
are currently authorized to issue up to 12,500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.00001 per share, 1,250,000 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.
NOTE
5 EQUITY
Common
Stock
We
are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $ 0.00001
per share. We effectuated a reverse stock split
on September 17, 2024 of 1 for 8 shares of common stock. All share values within
this report have been retroactively adjusted to the post reverse split values. 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 September 2024 we
sold to a certain institutional investor pursuant to a prospectus supplement and prospectus (i) 225,000 shares of common stock, par value
$ 0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $ 3.44 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase
up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $ 3.43 per pre-funded warrant, to the investor whose purchase of Common
Stock in this offering would otherwise result in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially
own more than 4.99% (or at the election of the investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation
of the offering. Each of the pre-funded warrants will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The pre-funded warrants had an exercise
price of $ 0.01 per share, were immediately exercisable and could be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants issued
in the offering were exercised in full. All 400,000 pre-funded warrants were exercised during October and November 2024. The Company issued an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock resulting in net proceeds of $ 1,683,970 as a
result of the direct offering.
In
a concurrent private placement, we issued to such institutional investor unregistered Series A warrants to purchase up to 625,000
shares of Common Stock and unregistered Series
B warrants to purchase up to 625,000
shares of Common Stock, which warrants will be
exercisable on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the unregistered warrants (the
“Stockholder Approval”), at an exercise price of $ 3.44
per share. The Series A warrants will expire
five
years following the Stockholder Approval and the
Series B warrants will expire 18
months following the Stockholder Approval. The
unregistered warrants and the unregistered common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants were offered pursuant to the exemptions
provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Company adjourned its annual meeting until June 2, 2025 to continue to solicit votes for the approval of the unregistered Series
A and Series B warrants.
The
company issued 46,876 warrants to the underwriters of the September 2024 direct offering, with an exercise price of $ 4.30 per common
share and an expiration date of September 4, 2029.

6 STOCK OPTION PLAN AND WARRANTS
Stock
Options
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 15,625 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 203,125 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. As of December 31, 2024 there
were 23,659 options outstanding under the 2010 Option Plan.
On
December 15, 2020, we adopted the Iveda Solutions, Inc. 2020 Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan has a maximum of 156,250
shares authorized with similar terms and conditions to the 2010 Option Plan. As of December 31, 2024 there were 193,397 options outstanding
under the 2020 Option Plan. The shares issuable pursuant to the 2020 Option Plan are registered with the SEC under Forms S-8 filed on
October 7, 2022 (No. 333- 267792). In 2024, the 2020 Option Plan was amended to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2020
Option Plan to 656,250 shares.
F- 15
As
of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 217,056 and 162,265 options outstanding, respectively, under all the option plans.
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, 2024, we had approximately $ 32,800
unrecognized stock-based compensation. During 2024 and 2023, the Company granted 79,000
and 37,188
stock options with a weighted average fair value of $ 1.10
and $ 0.34 per share,
respectively. The Company recorded stock compensation costs of $ 122,600
and $ 104,600
on vesting of the options during 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE
7 INCOME TAXES
U.S.
Federal Corporate Income Tax
The
Company uses an asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting for income taxes that allows recognition and measurement of
deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach,
deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets
if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility
is uncertain. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
At
December 31, 2024, the Company had available Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income. As of December 31, 2024, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards
for income tax purposes of approximately $ 38 million which will begin to expire in 2025. We also have Arizona net operating loss carryforwards
for income tax purposes of approximately $ 12.0 million which expire after five years. These carryforwards have been utilized in the determination
of the deferred income taxes for financial statement purposes.
Given the Company’s history of net operating
losses, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the
carryforwards. Accordingly, The Company has not recognized a deferred tax asset for this benefit. Section 382 generally limits the use
of NOLs and credits following an ownership change, which occurs when one or more 5 percent shareholders increase their ownership,
in aggregate, by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such shareholders at any time during the
“testing period” (generally three years).
The
Company has adopted FASB guidelines that address the determination of whether lax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax
return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, we may recognize the lax benefit from an uncertain lax position
only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the
largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This guidance also provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased
disclosures. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and no adjustment
was required at adoption.
The
Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024,
and 2023, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Additionally, tax years 2021 through
2024 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Upon
the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit associated with the
use of the carryforwards and will recognize the appropriate deferred tax asset at that time.
The
Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to loss
before income taxes as follows:

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 20%. 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.

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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 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 periods ended December
31, 2024 and 2023.

9 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings
that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Except for income tax contingencies, we record accruals for contingencies
to the extent that our management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Management believes the accompanying financial statements include all provisions, of any, for any potential losses. Legal expenses associated
with the contingency are expensed as incurred.
On
September 13, 2024 Aegis Capital Corp. commenced an action against the Company alleging that it had breached the provisions of a
Placement Agency Agreement (PPA) dated June 24, 2024 and that the Company was required to pay the plaintiff placement agent fees as
a result of the Company’s September 4, 2024 direct offering of $2.15 million with H. C. Wainwright. The Company rejects
the Plaintiff’s claims that it is due the 7% plus expenses in the PPA and asserts that the PAA had been terminated on August
15, 2024 due to the plaintiff’s non-performance and that the plaintiff is not entitled to any fees in the offering since it
raised none of the funds in the offering. The action is currently in the discovery stage and the Company intends to vigorously
defend the action.

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.

NOTE
11 RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2022 have been restated. Subsequent
to the original issuance of these financial statements, our audit committee and management determined the following:
As of December 31, 2022
●
the Company erroneously did not recognize a valuation decrease in recorded deferred tax assets in its Taiwan subsidiary.
●
the Company erroneously did not recognize an intercompany payable to its subsidiary, Iveda Taiwan.
Assets
affected included other assets and liabilities affected included accounts and other payables.
As of December 31, 2023
●
the Company had erroneously capitalized software development costs during 2023 and 2024 Quarterly filings.
●
In addition, the Company is making certain reclassification entries.
The
effects on the previously issued financial statements are as follows:
For
periods before 2022, Management of the Company determined that the following:
[1]
The Deferred Tax asset of $ 146,560 was no longer a valid tax difference. The amount was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit
at December 31, 2022.
[2} The intercompany
amount due to Iveda Taiwan was understated by $ 200,000 related to a payment made on behalf of Iveda US by Iveda Taiwan.
For
the year ending December 31, 2023, Management of the Company determined that the following:
[3]
An adjustment for $ 792,612 related to expensing the research and development expense was needed related to activity in 2023. The amount
was recorded as a reduction to assets and the associated expense was recorded to the statement of operations.
[4] An adjustment
for $ 180,000 to expense its investment in Iveda Phils JV originally recorded as a consolidation but we have determined this investment
should have been recorded as the equity method. This effected cash, account and other payables, Joint Venture Non-Controlled Equity Portion,
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and accumulated deficit

On February 27, 2025, Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement
(the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Sales Agent), pursuant to which the Company may offer
and sell, from time to time, through or to the Sales Agent, shares (the “Placement Shares”) of the Company’s common
stock, par value $ 0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 5,082,431 (the “ATM
Offering”). Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made only upon instructions by the Company to the Sales Agent, and the
Company cannot provide any assurances that it will issue any Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.
The issuance and sale, if any, of the Placement Shares by the Company under the Sales Agreement will be made pursuant
to the Company’s effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-276676) (the “Registration

state and federal laws, rules and regulations to sell the Placement Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions

on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price
of the Company’s Common Stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company.
The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Placement Shares under the Sales Agreement and the Company cannot provide any assurances
that it will issue any Placement Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company will pay a commission rate of 3% of the gross sales

diligence update session conducted in connection with each such date the Company files its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, its Annual
Report on Form 10-K and amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the accompanying prospectus, or any prospectus supplement.
The Company has also agreed pursuant to the Sales Agreement to provide the Sales Agent with customary indemnification and contribution
rights.
