factors and trends affecting our recent performance include:
−Removed: 13, 2019 we reached a resolution of the pending patent infringement litigation with WatchGuard and executed a settlement agreement
−Removed: that resulted in the dismissal of this case.
−Removed: As part of the settlement agreement, we received a one-time $6,000,000 payment
−Removed: and granted WatchGuard a perpetual covenant to not sue WatchGuard if its products incorporate agreed-upon modified recording
−Removed: functionality.
−Removed: Additionally, we granted it license to the ‘292 Patent and ‘452 Patent through December 31, 2023.
−Removed: As part of the settlement, the parties agree that WatchGuard made no admission that it infringed any of our patents.
−Removed: 12, “Contingencies”
−Removed: for the details respecting the settlement.
−Removed: Revenues decreased
−Removed: in fourth quarter 2019 to $2,420,436 compared to the previous quarters.
−Removed: The primary reason for the revenue decrease in the
−Removed: fourth quarter 2019 is that we continue to face increased challenges for our in-car and body-worn systems as our competitors
−Removed: have released new products with advanced features and have maintained their product price cuts.
−Removed: We introduced a new product
−Removed: platform, the EVO-HD, specifically for in-car systems late in June 2019 to address our competitors’
−Removed: new product features
−Removed: and we experienced some positive traction in third and fourth quarter 2019.
−Removed: However, we expect potential customers to review
−Removed: and test the EVO-HD prior to adopting the new platform for deployment and therefore expect that the rate of adoption of the
−Removed: new technology will accelerate in 2020.
−Removed: This new product platform utilizes advanced chipsets that will generate new and highly
−Removed: advanced products for our law enforcement and commercial customers and we believe will improve product revenues in future
−Removed: quarters as customers become aware of and commit to the new EVO-HD.
−Removed: Our law enforcement revenues declined over the prior period
−Removed: due to price-cutting, willful infringement of our patents and other actions by our competitors and adverse marketplace effects
−Removed: related to the patent litigation.
−Removed: For example, one of our competitors introduced a body-camera including cloud storage free
−Removed: for one year beginning in 2017 and this has continued to pressure our revenues in 2019.

+Added: July 20, 2020, the Company and Brickell Key Investments LP (“BKI”) executed a Termination Agreement and

+Added: Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company made
+Added: a payment in the amount of $1,250,000 to BKI, and the parties agreed to terminate a Proceeds Investment Agreement (the

−Removed: $405,179 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $301,000 for the prior year period for an increase of $104,179
−Removed: We are pursuing several new market channels that do not involve our traditional law enforcement and private security
−Removed: customers, such as our NASCAR affiliation and event security solutions, which we believe will help expand the appeal of our
−Removed: products and service capabilities to new commercial markets.
−Removed: If successful, we believe that these new market channels could
−Removed: yield recurring service revenues for us in the future.
−Removed: Recognizing a critical
−Removed: limitation in law enforcement camera technology, during 2014 we pioneered the development of our VuLink ecosystem that provided
−Removed: intuitive auto-activation functionality as well as coordination between multiple recording devices.
−Removed: The USPTO granted us multiple
−Removed: patents with claims covering numerous features, such as automatically activating an officer’s cameras when the light
−Removed: bar is activated or when a data-recording device such as a smart weapon is activated.
−Removed: Additionally, our patent claims cover
−Removed: automatic coordination between multiple recording devices.
−Removed: Prior to this innovation, officers were forced to manually activate
−Removed: each device while responding to emergency scenarios - a requirement that both decreased the usefulness of the existing camera
−Removed: systems and diverted officers’
−Removed: attention during critical moments.
−Removed: We believe law enforcement agencies have recognized
−Removed: the value of our VuLink technology and that a trend has developed where the agencies are seeking information on “auto-activation”
−Removed: features in requests for bids and requests for information involving the procurement process of body-worn cameras and in-car
−Removed: We believe this trend may result in our patented VuLink technology becoming the de-facto “standard”
−Removed: agencies engaged in deploying state-of-the-art body-worn and in-car camera systems.
−Removed: However, the willful infringement of our
−Removed: VuLink patent by Axon and others has substantially and negatively impacted revenues that otherwise would have been generated
−Removed: by our VuLink system and indirectly our body-worn and in-car systems.
−Removed: We believe that the results of the current patent litigation
−Removed: with Axon will largely set the competitive landscape for body-worn and in-car systems for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: We are seeking
−Removed: other ways to monetize our VuLink patents, which may include entering into license agreements or supply and distribution agreements
−Removed: with competitors.
−Removed: We expect that this technology will have a significant positive impact on our revenues in the long-term,
−Removed: particularly if we are successful in our prosecution of the patent infringement litigation pending with Axon, and we can successfully
−Removed: monetize the underlying patents, although we can make no assurances in this regard.
