−Removed: Iveda generated accumulated losses of approximately $21.8 million through December 31, 2013.
−Removed: plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits.
−Removed: The highlights
−Removed: of that plan are as follows:
−Removed: The Board of Directors approved the Company
−Removed: to engage with a financial capital markets advisor in connection with a potential capital financial transaction to raise up to
−Removed: $30 million in long-term financing.
−Removed: In December 2013, the Board of Directors
−Removed: also approved the Company to raise up to an aggregate amount of $3.6 million in bridge financing through the sale of Convertible
−Removed: Debentures in advance of the long-term financing.
−Removed: In the third quarter of 2013, the Company
−Removed: launched two new camera lines in collaboration with MegaSys, its Taiwan subsidiary and Industrial Technology Research Institute

−Removed: institutional investors, which will be instrumental to our market expansion, global distribution of our cloud video hosting platform

−Removed: The Company is in active collaboration
−Removed: with certain telecommunications companies in other countries to resell the Company’s products and services in their respective
−Removed: Application of Critical Accounting Policies
−Removed: identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.
−Removed: and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion
−Removed: and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported or expected financial results.
−Removed: In the ordinary
−Removed: course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial
−Removed: condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
−Removed: We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
−Removed: circumstances.
−Removed: The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
−Removed: readily apparent from other sources.
−Removed: Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions
−Removed: and conditions.
−Removed: We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that
−Removed: are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective,
−Removed: and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
−Removed: estimates for Iveda are that of the stock based compensation recorded for options and warrants issued and the income tax valuation
−Removed: allowance recorded for deferred tax assets.
−Removed: The fair values of options and warrants are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
−Removed: Iveda has no historical data on the accuracy of these estimates.
−Removed: The estimated sensitivity to change is related to the various
−Removed: variables of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model stated below.
−Removed: The specific quantitative variables are included in the Notes
−Removed: to the Financial Statements.
−Removed: The estimated fair value of options and warrants is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis
−Removed: over the options’
−Removed: and warrants’
−Removed: vesting periods.
−Removed: The fair value of each option and warrant granted is estimated on
−Removed: the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the expected life, dividend yield, expected volatility, and
−Removed: risk free interest rate weighted- average assumptions used for options and warrants granted.
−Removed: Expected volatility for 2013 and 2012
−Removed: was estimated by using the Dow Jones U.S.
−Removed: Industry indexes sector classification methodology for industries similar to the Company.
−Removed: The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option and warrant is based on the U.S.
−Removed: Treasury yield curve
−Removed: in effect at the grant date.
−Removed: The expected life of options and warrants is based on the average of three public companies offering
−Removed: services similar to Iveda.
−Removed: Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: a significant amount of property and equipment primarily consisting of leased equipment.
−Removed: The Company reviews the recoverability
−Removed: of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.”
−Removed: 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
−Removed: future net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
−Removed: If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
−Removed: to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value.
−Removed: Basis of Accounting and Going Concern
−Removed: Iveda’s
−Removed: financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
−Removed: in the United States of America.
−Removed: In addition, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
−Removed: will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal
−Removed: course of business.
−Removed: The Company generated accumulated losses of approximately $21.8 million through December 31, 2013 and has insufficient
−Removed: working capital and cash flows to support operations.
−Removed: These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
−Removed: continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
−Removed: of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
−Removed: Revenue and Expense Recognition
−Removed: recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily
−Removed: determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
−Removed: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 60, “Revenue
−Removed: Recognition.”
−Removed: Sales are recorded net of sales returns and discounts, which are estimated at the time of shipment based upon
−Removed: historical data.
−Removed: Revenues from monitoring services are recognized when the services are provided.
−Removed: Expenses are recognized as incurred.
−Removed: from fixed-price equipment installation contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method.
−Removed: The percentage completed
−Removed: is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract.
−Removed: This method is used because
−Removed: management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
−Removed: Because of inherent uncertainties
−Removed: in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change.
−Removed: costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract
−Removed: General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.
−Removed: Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted
−Removed: contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
−Removed: Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
−Removed: profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
−Removed: Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change
−Removed: orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period.
−Removed: Profit incentives are included in revenues
−Removed: when their realization is reasonably assured.
−Removed: Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be
−Removed: reliably estimated.
−Removed: The liability, “Billings
−Removed: in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,”
−Removed: represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
−Removed: Stock-Based Compensation
−Removed: On January 1,
−Removed: 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment , which requires the
−Removed: recognition of an expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards.
−Removed: The Company elected the modified
−Removed: prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718.
−Removed: Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the
−Removed: years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 includes compensation expense for stock- based compensation granted on or after the
−Removed: date ASC 718 was adopted based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.
−Removed: Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
−Removed: value of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, were
−Removed: estimated using the “minimum value method”
−Removed: as prescribed by original provisions of ASC 718, Accounting for
−Removed: Stock-Based Compensation , therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for these awards in accordance with ASC 718.
−Removed: Company recognized $221,177 and $248,072 of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012,
−Removed: respectively.
−Removed: Acquisition of MegaSys
−Removed: 2011, the Company acquired Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc.
−Removed: (doing business as MegaSys), a corporation organized under the laws
−Removed: of the Republic of China (“MegaSys”), pursuant to the share exchange agreement (the “Agreement”)
−Removed: dated March 21, 2011 and a related side agreement of even date (the “Side Agreement”), by and among the Company,
−Removed: MegaSys, and the shareholders of MegaSys (the “MegaSys Shareholders”).
−Removed: Pursuant to the Agreement (i) the Company
−Removed: acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MegaSys Common Stock in exchange for the issuance to the MegaSys
−Removed: Shareholders of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Exchange”), and (ii) MegaSys became a
−Removed: wholly owned subsidiary of Iveda.
−Removed: The Side Agreement provided that the MegaSys Shareholders were entitled to receive up to an
−Removed: additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company upon achievement by MegaSys of certain financial milestones set
−Removed: forth therein.
−Removed: Those financial milestones were not achieved, therefore, the additional 2,000,000 shares will not be issued.
−Removed: The Exchange was approved by Taiwan’s Foreign Investment Commission Agency.
−Removed: is a Taiwanese company specializing in deploying video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers,
−Removed: data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and Safe City initiatives in Taiwan and other neighboring countries.
−Removed: MegaSys integrates
−Removed: security surveillance products, software and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user.
−Removed: Most of MegaSys’s
−Removed: revenues are derived from one-time sales, which differs from Iveda’s business model of on-going monitoring revenues.
−Removed: does not own any proprietary technology or intellectual property other than certain trademarks in China and Taiwan used in its
−Removed: Management believes that the acquisition of MegaSys
−Removed: provides the following potential benefits to the Company’s business:
−Removed: MegaSys has an established presence and credibility
−Removed: in, and provides the Company with access to, the Asian market.
−Removed: Management believes that the Company will be able to leverage MegaSys’s relationships in Asia for cost-effective research
−Removed: and development of new product offerings and cost reduction of current product offerings.
−Removed: Management is able to source products directly using
−Removed: MegaSys’s product sourcing expertise to enhance the Company’s custom integration capabilities.
−Removed: The Company benefits from cost reductions for infrastructure equipment (servers, storage devices, network switches, and Super
−Removed: Wifi technologies) through a direct OEM relationship.
−Removed: Management believes that MegaSys enhances the global
−Removed: distribution potential for Iveda’s products and services.
−Removed: MegaSys benefits from the Company’s expertise
−Removed: in cloud-based video surveillance and access to the U.S.
−Removed: markets for its products.
−Removed: does not expect to derive significant revenues from prior MegaSys customer installations.
−Removed: However, the prior MegaSys customer base
−Removed: helps to establish credibility for the Company to market its products and services in the Taiwanese and other Asian marketplaces.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that the Company will generate material future revenue from MegaSys’s customers at the time of
−Removed: the Exchange.
−Removed: Results of Operations for the
−Removed: Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2012
−Removed: We recorded net
−Removed: consolidated revenue of $3,345,217 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $3,608,998 for the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2012, a decrease of $263,781 or 7%.

−Removed: and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $2,691,915 or 80% of net revenue, compared to 605,840 or 17% of net revenue
−Removed: for recurring service and $2,815,150 or 78% of net revenue for equipment sales and installation revenue in 2012.
−Removed: Revenues in our
−Removed: operations were primarily derived from our recurring monthly service revenue, which represents 67% of U.S.
−Removed: decrease in total revenue in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is attributable primarily to reduced equipment sales from
−Removed: Cost of Revenue.
−Removed: Total cost of
−Removed: revenue was $2,729,350 (82% of revenues;
−Removed: gross margin of 18%) for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $3,230,495 (89%
−Removed: 11% gross margin) for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $501,145 or 16%.
−Removed: The decrease in cost of revenue
−Removed: and increase of gross margin was primarily due to the more favorable gross margins associated to the approximately 96% of MegaSys’
−Removed: revenue, derived from equipment sales and installation.
−Removed: Operating Expenses.
−Removed: expenses were $7,415,682 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $4,223,455 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an
−Removed: increase of $3,192,227 or 76%.
−Removed: The significant increase in operating expenses was largely due to an impairment charge to goodwill
−Removed: during 2013 of $841,000.
−Removed: Without the goodwill charge in 2013 compared to 2012, operating expenses increased by $2,351,227, or 56%.
−Removed: This increase was attributable primarily to additional professional sales personnel and increased salaries and benefits, increased
−Removed: spending for sales and marketing collateral and tradeshows, increased sales consulting expenses, increased travel expenses for

−Removed: A majority portion of this increase was due to the one-time goodwill impairment charge
−Removed: of $841,000 in 2013.
−Removed: The remaining increase in loss of $2,113,863 was primarily due to the increased operating expenses of additional
−Removed: professional sales personnel and increased salaries and benefits, increased spending for sales and marketing collateral and tradeshows,
−Removed: increased sales consulting expenses, increased travel expenses for sales personnel including international travel, and increased
−Removed: costs for product and software development.
−Removed: The majority of the loss, $6,325,892, was from our U.S.
−Removed: operations and the remaining
−Removed: $473,923 was from our operations in Taiwan.
−Removed: Other Expense-Net.
−Removed: Other expense-net was $71,235 for
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $79,477 for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $8,242 or 10%.
