NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations: Digital Ally, Inc. (with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc. and Shield Products, LLC collectively, “Digital Ally,” “Digital,” and the “Company”) produces digital video imaging, storage products and disinfectant and related safety products for use in law enforcement, security and commercial applications. The Company’s products include, among others; in-car digital video/audio recorders contained in a rear-view mirror for use in law enforcement and commercial fleets; a system that provides its law enforcement customers with audio/video surveillance from multiple vantage points and hands-free automatic activation of body-worn cameras and in-car video systems; a miniature digital video system designed to be worn on an individual’s body; and cloud storage solutions. The Company has recently added two new lines of branded products: (1) the ThermoVu™ line, which is a line of self-contained temperature monitoring stations that provides alerts and controls facility access when an individual’s temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and (2) the Shield™ disinfectant and cleanser line, which is for use against viruses and bacteria and which we began offering to the Company’s law enforcement and commercial customers beginning late in the second quarter of 2020. Both product lines are manufactured by third parties. In addition, the Company has active research and development programs to adapt its technologies to other applications. It can integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create unique solutions to address needs in a variety of other industries and markets, including mass transit, school bus, taxicab and the military. The Company sells its products to law enforcement agencies, private security customers and organizations, and consumer and commercial fleet operators through direct sales domestically and third-party distributors internationally. The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 as Vegas Petra, Inc. and had no operations until 2004. On November 30, 2004, Vegas Petra, Inc. entered into a Plan of Merger with Digital Ally, Inc., at which time the merged entity was renamed Digital Ally, Inc. Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. COVID-19 pandemic: 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 we have offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners. 7 Like most US-based 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 quarter ended March 31, 2021, we observed decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily our law-enforcement and commercial customers. Given the fact that our products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, we expect our 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. We are aware that many companies, including many of our suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although we observed significant declines in demand for our products from certain customers during 2020 and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we believe that it remains too early for us to know the exact impact COVID-19 will have on the long-term demand for our products. We 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. In light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impacts on certain industries that use our products and services, we have taken, and continue to take targeted steps to lower our operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We do not expect there to be material changes to our assets on our balance sheet or our ability to timely account for those assets. Further, in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we reviewed the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on goodwill and intangible assets and have determined there to be no material impact at this time. We have 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 our 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 our business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist our customers and distributors as well as impact our ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present we do not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. We have taken steps to restrain and monitor our operating expenses and therefore we do not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues. Like most companies, we have taken a range of actions with respect to how we operate to assure we comply with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of our employees and our ability to continue operating our business effectively. To date, we have been able to operate our business effectively using these measures and to maintain internal controls as documented and posted. We also have not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and do 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 we have 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; ● increasing our IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office; and ● for employees who must perform essential functions in one of our offices: ● having employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from other employees whenever possible; ● having employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk all employees who perform similar tasks might become infected by COVID-19; ● having employees stay segregated from other employees in the office with whom they require no interaction; and ● requiring employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever possible. 8 We currently believe revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 may decline year over year due to the conditions noted. In April 2020, we implemented a COVID-19 mitigation plan designed to further reduce our operating expenses during the pandemic. Actions taken to date include work hour and salary reductions for senior management. These cost reductions are in addition to the significant restructuring actions we initiated in the first quarter of 2020. Based on our current cash position, our projected cash flow from operations and our cost reduction and cost containment efforts to date, we believe that we 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, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. We will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity. Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Digital Ally and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc. and Shield Products, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. The Company formed Digital Ally International, Inc. during August 2009 to facilitate the export sales of its products. The Company formed Shield Products, LLC in May 2020 to facilitate the sales of its Shield™ line of disinfectant/cleanser products and ThermoVu™ line of temperature monitoring equipment. Revenue 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. 9 The Company sells its products and services to law enforcement and commercial customers in the following manner: ● Sales to domestic customers are made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency or a commercial customer) through its sales force, which is composed of its employees. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer. ● Sales to international customers are made through independent distributors who purchase products from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor generally maintains product inventory, 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 consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement. ● Repair parts and services for domestic and international customers are generally handled by its inside customer service employees. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the repair parts and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer. Sales taxes collected on products sold are excluded from revenues and are reported as accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets until payments are remitted. Service and other revenue is comprised of revenues from extended warranties, repair services, cloud revenue and software revenue. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer for repair services. Revenue for extended warranty, cloud service or other software-based products is over the term of the contract warranty or service period. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to these revenues is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, as long as the other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Contracts with some of the Company’s customers contain multiple performance obligations that are distinct and accounted for separately. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company determined SSP for all the performance obligations using observable inputs, such as standalone sales and historical pricing. SSP is consistent with the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration the type of service being provided. SSP also reflects the amount the Company would charge for the performance obligation if it were sold separately in a standalone sale. Multiple performance obligations consist of product, software, cloud subscriptions and extended warranties. The Company’s multiple performance obligations may include future in-car or body-worn camera devices to be delivered at defined points within a multi-year contract, and in those arrangements, the Company allocates total arrangement consideration over the life of the multi-year contract to future deliverables using management’s best estimate of selling price. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are reported separately as current liabilities and non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts consist of extended warranty contracts, prepaid cloud services and prepaid installation services and are generally recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. 10 Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of warrants, options, proceeds investment agreement and convertible debt, the recognition of revenue, inventory valuation reserve, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include funds on hand, in bank and short-term investments with original maturities of ninety (90) days or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the uninsured balance amounted to $66,376,243 and $3,653,192, respectively. Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a weekly basis. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. One individual customer receivable balance exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which totaled $319,000 or 28% and $319,000 or 19% of total accounts receivable, respectively. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than thirty (30) days beyond terms. No interest is charged on overdue trade receivables. Segments of Business: Management has determined that its operations are comprised of one reportable segment: the sale of digital audio and video recording and speed detection devices. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, sales by geographic area were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Sales by geographic area: United States of America $ 2,477,195 $ 2,371,687 Foreign 58,634 54,058 $ 2,535,829 $ 2,425,745 Sales to customers outside of the United States are denominated in U.S. dollars. All Company assets are physically located within the United States. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation will not be required until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect that adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments as the current accounting guidance was determined to be unnecessarily complex and difficult to navigate. The ASU primarily does three things: (1) The ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion feature model and the cash conversion model. The elimination of these models will result in more convertible instruments (convertible debt instruments or convertible preferred stock instruments) being reported as a single liability instrument. The ASU also makes targeted improvements to the related disclosures, (2) The ASU eliminates certain settlement conditions that are required to qualify for derivative scope exception which will allow for less equity contracts to be accounted for as a derivative and (3) The ASU aligns the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method and requiring share settlement be included in the calculation when the contract includes an option of cash or share settlement. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Management has not early-adopted this new standard and continues to evaluate the impact of adopting ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements. 11 In 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01 which represents a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and it clarifies certain items related to ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU (1) clarifies that when an entity is either applying the equity method or upon discontinuing the equity method it should consider observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment with the same issuer for valuing basis of the investment and (2) clarifies that when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options an entity should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. ASU No. 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this update for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, with no material effect on the financials. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Warrant Derivative Liabilities In accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in an Entities Own Equity, entities must consider whether to classify contracts that may be settled in its own stock, such as warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability. If an event that is not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement, then the contract should be classified as an asset or a liability rather than as equity. We have determined because the terms of the warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2021 include a provision that entitles all the warrant holders to receive cash for their warrants in the event of a qualifying cash tender offer, while only certain of the holders of the underlying shares of common stock would be entitled to cash, our warrants should be classified as liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. Volatility in the price of our common stock may result in significant changes in the value of the derivatives and resulting gains and losses on our statement of operations. NOTE 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Raw material and component parts $ 3,141,836 $ 3,186,426 Work-in-process 7,670 1,907 Finished goods 8,128,666 6,974,291 Subtotal 11,278,172 10,162,625 Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory (2,388,256 ) (1,960,351 ) Total inventories $ 8,889,916 $ 8,202,274 Finished goods inventory includes units held by potential customers and sales agents for test and evaluation purposes. The cost of such units totaled $107,729 and $138,263 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. NOTE 3. DEBT OBLIGATIONS Debt obligations is comprised of the following: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Economic injury disaster loan (EIDL) $ 150,000 $ 150,000 Payroll protection program loan (PPP) 10,000 10,000 Debt obligations 160,000 160,000 Less: current maturities of debt obligations 12,234 11,727 Debt obligations, long-term $ 147,766 $ 148,273 Debt obligations mature as follows as of March 31, 2021: March 31, 2021 2021 (April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) $ 7,602 2022 6,206 2023 3,166 2024 3,286 2025 3,412 2026 and thereafter 136,328 Total $ 160,000 12 2020 Small Business Administration Notes . On May 4, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note in connection with the receipt of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan of $1,418,900 (the “PPP Loan”) under the Small Business Administration’s (the “SBA”) PPP Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ( the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments were deferred for nine months after the date of disbursement and total $79,851 per month thereafter. The PPP Loan could have been prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note contained events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The PPP provides that the PPP Loan may be partially or wholly forgiven if the funds are used for certain qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company intends to use the majority of the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company used the majority of the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and December 10, 2020, the Company was fully forgiven of its $1,418,900 PPP Loan, less the $10,000 EIDL advance received with the PPP Loan. On May 12, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in loan funding from the SBA under the EIDL program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the recently enacted CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a secured promissory note, dated May 8, 2020, in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the note issued under the EIDL program, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of such note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under such note. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement and total $731 per month thereafter. Such note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Company granted the secured party a continuing interest in and to any and all collateral, including but not limited to tangible and intangible personal property. NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT In accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business. ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: ● Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities ● Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities) ● Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value) 13 The following table represents the Company’s hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020: March 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Warrant derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 26,663,802 $ 26,663,802 $ — $ — $ 26,663,802 $ 26,663,802 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Warrant derivative liabilities — — — — $ — $ — $ — $ — The following table represents the change in Level 3 tier value measurements for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Warrant Derivative Liabilities Balance, December 31, 2020 $ — Issuance of detachable warrants in the January 14, 2021 Offering 21,922,158 Issuance of detachable warrants in the February 1, 2021 Offering 27,476,352 Issuance of detachable pre-funded warrants in the January 14, 2021 Offering 378,615 Issuance of detachable pre-funded warrants in the February 1, 2021 Offering 1,438,934 Transition of derivative warrant liability to equity on pre-funded warrants — Change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities (24,552,257 ) Balance, March 31, 2021 $ 26,663,802 NOTE 5. ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses consisted of the following at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Accrued warranty expense $ 9,243 $ 31,845 Accrued litigation costs 250,000 250,000 Accrued sales commissions 41,292 38,294 Accrued payroll and related fringes 370,262 199,850 Accrued sales returns and allowances 22,891 26,069 Accrued sales taxes 52,737 53,627 Other 119,299 196,409 $ 865,724 $ 796,094 14 Accrued warranty expense was comprised of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Beginning balance $ 31,845 Provision for warranty expense (6,800 ) Charges applied to warranty reserve (15,802 ) Ending balance $ 9,243 NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 varied from the expected statutory rate due to the Company continuing to provide a 100% valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company determined that it was appropriate to continue the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021 primarily because of the Company’s history of operating losses. The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years, and it continues to be in a three-year cumulative loss position at March 31, 2021. Accordingly, the Company determined there was not sufficient positive evidence regarding its potential for future profits to outweigh the negative evidence of our three-year cumulative loss position under the guidance provided in ASC 740. Therefore, it determined to continue to provide a 100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize these assets. To the extent the Company determines that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. The Company has available to it approximately $76 million in net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income as of March 31, 2021. NOTE 7. OPERATING LEASE On May 13, 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for new warehouse and office space which will serve as its new principal executive office and primary business location. The original lease agreement was amended on August 28, 2020 to correct the footage under lease and monthly payment amounts resulting from such correction. The lease terms, as amended include no base rent for the first nine months and monthly payments ranging from $12,398 to $14,741 thereafter, with a termination date of December 2026. The Company is responsible for property taxes, utilities, insurance and its proportionate share of common area costs related to its new location. The Company took possession of the leased facilities on June 15, 2020. The remaining lease term for the Company’s office and warehouse operating lease as of March 31, 2021 was sixty-nine months. The Company’s previous office and warehouse space lease expired in April 2020 and the Company paid holdover rent for the time period until it moved to and commenced occupying the new space on June 15, 2020. The Company entered into an operating lease with a third party in October 2019 for copiers used for office and warehouse purposes. The terms of the lease include 48 monthly payments of $1,598 with a maturity date of October 2023. The Company has the option to purchase the equipment at maturity for its estimated fair market value at that point in time. The remaining lease term for the Company’s copier operating lease as of March 31, 2021 was 31 months. Lease expense related to the office space and copier operating leases were recorded on a straight-line basis over their respective lease terms. Total lease expense under the two operating leases was $32,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The discount rate implicit within the Company’s operating leases was not generally determinable and therefore the Company determined the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate on the information available at commencement date. As of commencement date, the operating lease liabilities reflect a weighted average discount rate of 8%. 15 The following sets forth the operating lease right of use assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021: Assets: Operating lease right of use assets $ 748,742 Liabilities: Operating lease obligations-current portion $ 117,322 Operating lease obligations-less current portion $ 703,983 Total operating lease obligations $ 821,305 The components of lease expense were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 32,057 Following are the minimum lease payments for each year and in total. Year ending December 31: 2021 (April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) $ 133,260 2022 184,145 2023 184,241 2024 171,642 2025 & beyond 333,705 Total undiscounted minimum future lease payments 1,006,993 Imputed interest (185,688 ) Total operating lease liability $ 821,305 NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES COVID-19 pandemic 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 we have offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners. Like most US-based 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 2020 and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we observed recent decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily our law-enforcement and commercial customers. Given the fact that our products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, we expect our 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. We are aware that many companies, including many of our suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although we observed significant declines in demand for our products from certain customers during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we believe that it remains too early for us to know the exact impact COVID-19 will have on the long-term demand for our products. We 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. In light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impacts on certain industries that use our products and services, we have taken, and continue to take targeted steps to lower our operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We do not expect there to be material changes to our assets on our balance sheet or our ability to timely account for those assets. Further, in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements contained herein, we reviewed the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on goodwill and intangible assets and have determined there to be no material impact at this time. We have also reviewed the potential impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items. 16 To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted our 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 our business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist our customers and distributors as well as impact our ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present we do not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. We have taken steps to restrain and monitor our operating expenses and therefore we do not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues. Like most companies, we have taken a range of actions with respect to how we operate to assure we comply with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of our employees and our ability to continue operating our business effectively. To date, we have been able to operate our business effectively using these measures and to maintain all internal controls as documented and posted. We also have not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and do 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 we have 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; ● Increasing our IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office; and ● For employees who must perform essential functions in one of our offices: ● Having employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from other employees whenever possible; ● Having employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk all employees who perform similar tasks might become infected by COVID-19; ● Having employees stay segregated from other employees in the office with whom they require no interaction; and ● Requiring employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever possible. We currently believe revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 may decline year over year due to the conditions noted. In April 2020, we implemented a COVID-19 mitigation plan designed to further reduce our operating expenses during the pandemic. Actions taken to date include work hour and salary reductions for senior management. These cost reductions are in addition to the significant restructuring actions we initiated in the first quarter of 2020. Based on our current cash position, our projected cash flow from operations and our cost reduction and cost containment efforts to date, we believe that we 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, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. We will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity. 17 Litigation. From time to time, we are notified that we may be a party to a lawsuit or that a claim is being made against us. It is our policy to not disclose the specifics of any claim or threatened lawsuit until the summons and complaint are actually served on us. After carefully assessing the claim, and assuming we determine that we are not at fault or we disagree with the damages or relief demanded, we vigorously defend any lawsuit filed against us. We record a liability when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. When losses are deemed reasonably possible but not probable, we determine whether it is possible to provide an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim, if material for disclosure. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood of our prevailing, the availability of insurance, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time. While the ultimate resolution is unknown, based on the information currently available, we do not expect that these lawsuits will individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect to our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance that any expense, liability or damages that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will be covered by our insurance or will not be in excess of amounts recognized or provided by insurance coverage and will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Axon The Company owns U.S. Patent No. 9,253,452 (the “ ‘452 Patent”), which generally covers the automatic activation and coordination of multiple recording devices in response to a triggering event, such as a law enforcement officer activating the light bar on the vehicle. The Company filed suit on January 15, 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (the “U.S. District Court”) (Case No: 2:16-cv-02032) against Axon Enterprise, Inc. (“Axon”), alleging willful patent infringement against Axon’s body camera product line and Signal auto-activation product. The Company is seeking both monetary damages and a permanent injunction against Axon for infringement of the ‘452 Patent. In December 2016 and January 2017, Axon filed two petitions for Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) against the ‘452 Patent. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) rejected both of Axon’s petitions. Axon is now statutorily precluded from filing any more IPR petitions against the ‘452 Patent. The District Court litigation was temporarily stayed following the filing of the petitions for IPR. However, on November 17, 2017, the U.S. District Court of Kansas rejected Axon’s request to maintain the stay. With this ruling, the parties then proceeded towards trial, after which the parties filed motions for summary judgement on January 31, 2019. On June 17, 2019, the U.S. District Court granted Axon’s motion for summary judgment that Axon did not infringe on the Company’s patent and dismissed the case. The U.S. District Court’s ruling did not find that the ‘452 Patent was invalid. It also did not address any other issue, such as whether Digital’s requested damages were appropriate, and it did not impact the Company’s ability to file additional lawsuits to hold other competitors accountable for patent infringement. This ruling solely related to an interpretation of the Company’s claims as they relate to Axon and was unrelated to the supplemental briefing the Company filed on its damages claim. Those issues are separate and the U.S. District Court’s ruling on the motion for summary judgment had nothing to do with the Company’s damages request. The Company filed an opening appeal brief on August 26, 2019 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), appealing the U.S. District Court’s granting of Axon’s motion for summary judgment. Axon responded by filing a responsive brief on November 6, 2019 and we then filed a reply brief responding to Axon on November 27, 2019. The Court of Appeals scheduled oral arguments on our appeal of the U.S. District Court’s summary judgment ruling on April 6, 2020. This appeal was intended to address the Company’s position that the U.S. District Court incorrectly dismissed our claims against Axon. If the Court of Appeals overturns the ruling of the U.S. District Court, the case would have been remanded to the U.S District Court before a new judge. On March 12, 2020, the panel of judges for the Court of Appeals issued an order cancelling the oral arguments previously set for April 6, 2020, having determined that the appeal will be decided solely based on the parties’ briefs. On April 22, 2020, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals denied our appeal and affirmed the District Court’s previous decision to grant Axon summary judgment. On May 22, 2020, we filed a petition for panel rehearing requesting that we be granted a rehearing of our appeal of the U.S. District Court’s summary judgment ruling. Furthermore, we requested that we be given an opportunity to make our case through oral argument in front of the three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals, which was also denied. The Company has abandoned its right to any further appeals. 18 NOTE 9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company recorded pretax compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and restricted stock issued of $326,164 and $311,677 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had adopted nine separate stock option and restricted stock plans: (i) the 2005 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), (ii) the 2006 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”), (iii) the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”), (iv) the 2008 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”), (v) the 2011 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”), (vi) the 2013 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”), (vii) the 2015 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2015 Plan”), (viii) the 2018 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2018 Plan”) and (ix) the 2020 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2020 Plan”).. The 2005 Plan, 2006 Plan, 2007 Plan, 2008 Plan, 2011 Plan, 2013 Plan, 2015 Plan, 2018 Plan and 2020 Plan are referred to as the “Plans.” These Plans permit the grant of stock options or restricted stock to its employees, non-employee directors and others for up to a total of 5,675,000 shares of common stock. The 2005 Plan terminated during 2015 with 20,178 shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. Stock options granted under the 2005 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of March 31, 2021 total 7,064. The 2006 Plan terminated during 2016 with 35,474 shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of March 31, 2021 total 30,125. The 2007 Plan terminated during 2017 with 92,151 shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of March 31, 2021 total 2,500. The 2008 Plan terminated during 2018 with 40,499 shares not awarded or underlying options, which shares are now unavailable for issuance. There were no stock options granted under the 2008 Plan that remain unexercised and outstanding as of March 31, 2021. 19 The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of our employees with those of its stockholders. Option awards have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of its stock at the date of grant with such option awards generally vesting based on the completion of continuous service and having ten-year contractual terms. These option awards typically provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans). The Company has registered all shares of common stock that are issuable under its Plans with the SEC. A total of 794,439 shares remained available for awards under the various Plans as of March 31, 2021. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Activity in the various Plans during the three months ended March 31, 2021: Options Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2020 838,313 $ 3.20 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited (43,875 ) (12.34 ) Outstanding at March 31, 2021 794,439 $ 2.69 Exercisable at March 31, 2021 738,189 $ 2.74 The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The total estimated grant date fair value stock options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $-0- as there were no grants during that period. The Plans allow for the cashless exercise of stock options. This provision allows the option holder to surrender/cancel options with an intrinsic value equivalent to the purchase/exercise price of other options exercised. There were no shares surrendered pursuant to cashless exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $-0-, and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $-0- at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the unrecognized portion of stock compensation expense on all existing stock options was $91,707 and will be recognized over the next 3 months. The following table summarizes the range of exercise prices and weighted average remaining contractual life for outstanding and exercisable options under the Company’s option plans as of March 31, 2021: Outstanding options Exercisable options Exercise price range Number of options Weighted average remaining contractual life Number of options Weighted average remaining contractual life $ 0.01 to $2.49 415,000 8.6 years 358,750 8.5 years $ 2.50 to $3.49 310,314 7.1 years 310,314 7.1 years $ 3.50 to $4.49 45,750 3.9 years 45,750 3.9 years $ 4.50 to $6.99 15,000 0.8 years 15,000 0.8 years $ 7.00 to $9.52 8,375 0.4 years 8,375 0.4 years 794,439 7.5 years 738,189 7.3 years 20 Restricted stock grants. The Board of Directors has granted restricted stock awards under the Plans. Restricted stock awards are valued on the date of grant and have no purchase price for the recipient. Restricted stock awards typically vest over one to four years corresponding to anniversaries of the grant date. Under the Plans, unvested shares of restricted stock awards may be forfeited upon the termination of service to or employment with the Company, depending upon the circumstances of termination. Except for restrictions placed on the transferability of restricted stock, holders of unvested restricted stock have full stockholder’s rights, including voting rights and the right to receive cash dividends. A summary of all restricted stock activity under the equity compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is as follows: Number of Restricted shares Weighted average grant date fair value Nonvested balance, December 31, 2020 720,125 $ 1.69 Granted 450,000 2.76 Vested (479,250 ) (1.99 ) Forfeited (7,500 ) (1.08 ) Nonvested balance, March 31, 2021 683,375 $ 2.14 The Company estimated the fair market value of these restricted stock grants based on the closing market price on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2021, there were $991,517 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to all remaining non-vested restricted stock grants, which will be amortized over the next 21 months in accordance with their respective vesting scale. The nonvested balance of restricted stock vests as follows: Years ended Number of shares 2021 (April 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021) — 2022 458,375 2023 225,000 NOTE 10. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS The Company has issued common stock purchase warrants in conjunction with various debt and equity issuances. The warrants are either immediately exercisable, or have a delayed initial exercise date, no more than six months from their respective issue date and allow the holders to purchase up to 26,808,598 shares of common stock at $2.60 to $5.00 per share as of March 31, 2021. The warrants expire from December 30, 2021 through February 1, 2026 and under certain circumstances allow for cashless exercise. On January 14, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrant terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company under certain circumstances in the event of tender offers. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Furthermore, the Company revalues the fair value of warrant derivative liability as of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned to equity. 21 The Company has utilized the following assumptions in its Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the estimated fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities as of their date of issuance and as of March 31, 2021: Issuance date assumptions March 31, 2021 assumptions Volatility - range 106.6 – 166.6 % 106.7 % Risk-free rate 0.08 - 0.49 % 0.92 % Dividend 0 % 0 % Remaining contractual term 0.01 - 5 years 4.8 years Exercise price $ 2.80 - 3.25 $ 3.25 Common stock issuable under the warrants 42,550,000 24,300,000 During the three months ended March 31, 2021, holders of pre-funded warrants exercised a total of 18,250,000 warrants which were fair valued at $1,817,549 at their date of issuance and recorded as a derivative warrant liability. On the date of exercise such pre-funded warrants were fair valued at zero, which was transitioned to permanent equity during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company reported the $1,817,549 change in fair value from their issuance date to their exercise date in the condensed statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. The following table summarizes information about shares issuable under warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2021: Warrants Weighted average exercise price Vested Balance, January 1, 2021 3,388,364 $ 6.24 Granted 42,550,000 3.11 Exercised (18,250,000 ) 2.92 Forfeited/cancelled (879,766 ) 13.43 Vested Balance, March 31, 2021 26,808,598 $ 3.29 The total intrinsic value of all outstanding warrants aggregated $-0- as of March 31, 2021 and the weighted average remaining term is 54.2 months.

We have the ability to integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create positive solutions to our customers’ requests. Our products include: the DVM-800 and DVM-800 Lite, which are in-car digital video mirror systems for law enforcement; the FirstVU and the FirstVU HD, which are body-worn cameras; our patented and revolutionary VuLink product, which integrates our body-worn cameras with our in-car systems by providing hands-free automatic activation for both law enforcement and commercial markets; the DVM-250 and DVM-250 Plus, which are our commercial line of digital video mirrors that serve as “event recorders” for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets; and FleetVU and VuLink, which are our cloud-based evidence management systems. We introduced the EVO-HD product in the second quarter of 2019 and began full-scale deliveries in the third quarter 2019, which continued through 2020 and into 2021. The EVO-HD is designed and built on a new and highly advanced technology platform that will become the platform for a new family of in-car video solution products for the law enforcement and commercial markets. We believe that the launch of these new products will help to reinvigorate our in-car and body-worn systems revenues while diversifying and broadening the market for our product offerings. Additionally, we introduced two new lines of branded products: (1) the ThermoVu™ which is a line of self-contained temperature monitoring stations that provides alerts and controls facility access when an individual’s temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and (2) our Shield™ disinfectants and cleansers which are for use against viruses and bacteria. We began offering our Shield™ disinfectants and cleansers to our law enforcement and commercial customers late in the second quarter of 2020. We experienced operating losses for the first quarter 2021 and all quarters during 2020. The following is a summary of our recent operating results on a quarterly basis: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 September 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 March 31, 2020 Total revenue $ 2,535,829 $ 2,798,291 $ 3,558,640 $ 1,732,192 $ 2,425,745 Gross profit 811,882 1,182,160 1,222,648 392,758 1,265,028 Gross profit margin % 32.0 % 43.0 % 34.1 % 22.7 % 52.2 % Total selling, general and administrative expenses 3,677,575 2,931,334 3,066,606 2,535,912 3,192,396 Operating income (loss) (2,865,693 ) (1,749,174 ) (1,843,958 ) (2,143,154 ) (1,927,368 ) Operating income (loss) % (113.0 )% (63.2 )% (51.4 )% (123.7 )% (79.5 )% Net income (loss) $ 21,721,858 $ (321,318 ) $ 527,442 $ (497,894 ) $ (2,334,110 ) Our business is subject to substantial fluctuations on a quarterly basis as reflected in the significant variations in revenues and operating results in the above table. These variations result from various factors, including but not limited to: (1) the timing of large individual orders; (2) the traction gained by products, such as the recently released EVO HD, the ThermoVU™ and the Shield™ line; (3) production, quality and other supply chain issues affecting our cost of goods sold; (4) unusual increases in operating expenses, such as the timing of trade shows and stock-based and bonus compensation; (5) the timing of patent infringement litigation settlements; (5) ongoing patent and other litigation and related expenses respecting outstanding lawsuits; and (6) most recently, the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and our business. We reported a net income of $21,721,858 on revenues of $2,535,829 for the first quarter of 2021. The income recognized this quarter, and in the third quarter 2020 ended a series of quarterly losses resulting from competitive pressures, supply chain problems, increases in inventory reserves as our current product suite ages, product quality control issues, product warranty issues, and litigation expenses relating to patent infringement claims. 26 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance sheet debt, nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses other than the following: As of March 31, 2021 we have an obligation pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) to purchase a building. On April 30, 2021 the Company closed on the PSA to acquire a 71,361 square foot commercial office building located in Lenexa, Kansas which is intended to serve the Company’s future office and warehouse needs. The building contains approximately 30,000 square foot of office space and the remainder warehouse space. The total purchase price was approximately $5.3 million, the Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand, without the addition of external debt or other financing. We are a party to operating leases and license agreements that represent commitments for future payments (described in Note 7, “Operating Leases,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and we have issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business that represent commitments to future payments for goods and services. For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 Results of Operations Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections is an analysis of our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, represented as a percentage of total revenues for each such quarter: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Revenue 100 % 100 % Cost of revenue 68 % 48 % Gross profit 32 % 52 % Selling, general and administrative expenses: Research and development expense 18 % 20 % Selling, advertising and promotional expense 24 % 28 % General and administrative expense 104 % 83 % Total selling, general and administrative expenses 145 % 132 % Operating loss (113 )% (80 )% Change in fair value of proceeds investment agreement — % ( 13 )% Change in fair value of secured convertible notes — % (17 )% Change in fair value of derivative liabilities 968 % Other income and interest expense, net 2 % 12 % Income (loss) before income tax benefit 857 % (96 )% Income tax (provision) — % — % Net income/(loss) 857 % (96 )% Net income/(loss) per share information: Basic $ 0.49 $ (0.17 ) Diluted $ 0.49 $ (0.17 ) 27 Revenues We sell our products and services to law enforcement and commercial customers in the following manner: ● Sales to domestic customers are made directly to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency or a commercial customer) through our sales force, comprised of our employees. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer. ● Sales to international customers are made through independent distributors who purchase products from us at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor generally maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement. ● Repair parts and services for domestic and international customers are generally handled by our inside customer service employees. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the repair parts and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer. We may discount our prices on specific orders based upon the size of the order, the specific customer and the competitive landscape. The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on our revenues in the first quarter 2021 and we expect it to adversely affect our revenues during the remainder of 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact generally on our legacy products and, in particular our commercial event recorder hardware (DVM-250 Plus) and in-car hardware for law enforcement (DVM-800) during the quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact generally on our new Shield disinfectant/sanitizer and ThermoVU product lines. Revenues for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 were derived from the following sources: Three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 DVM-800 and DVM 800HD 29 % 35 % ThermoVu TM 5 % — % Shield TM disinfectants/sanitizers 1 % — % FirstVu HD 13 % 14 % DVM-250 Plus 4 % 4 % Cloud service revenue 10 % 9 % Extended warranty revenue 10 % — % VuLink 1 % 3 % EVO 12 % 8 % Repair and service 4 % 18 % Accessories and other revenues 11 % 9 % 100 % 100 % Product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1,912,577 and $1,766,536 respectively, an increase of $146,041 (8%), due to the following factors: ● The Company generated revenues totaling over $141,309 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $-0- for the same period in 2020 from its new product lines. Late in the second quarter of 2020, the Company launched two product lines in direct response to the increased safety precautions that organizations and individuals are taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ThermoVu™ was launched as a non-contact temperature-screening instrument that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined parameters. ThermoVu™ has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu™ provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature display and controls access to facilities based on such results. We believe that it can be widely applied in schools, office buildings, subway stations, airports and other public venues. The Company also launched its Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer product lines to fulfill demand by current customers and others for a disinfectant and sanitizer that is less harsh than many of the traditional products now widely distributed. The Shield™ Cleanser product line contains a cleanser with no harsh chemicals or fumes. The Company began offering the Shield™ line of disinfecting products to its first responder customers including police, fire and paramedics late in the second quarter of 2020. Commercial customers such as cruise lines, taxi-cab and para transit may also be good candidates for the products. The Company is considering enhancing the line of disinfectant products for additional related products including hardware to efficiently and effectively dispense the disinfectants. The Company is hopeful that its law enforcement and commercial customers will adopt this new product offering to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus as well as other bacteria and viruses. 28 ● In general, we have experienced pressure on our revenues as our in-car and body-worn systems are facing increased competition because our competitors have released new products with advanced features. Additionally, our law enforcement revenues declined over the prior period due to price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. We introduced our EVO-HD late in the second quarter of 2019 with the goal of enhancing our product line features to meet these competitive challenges and we started to see traction in late 2019. We expect customers and potential customers to review and test the EVO-HD prior to committing to this new product platform, all of which has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ● The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to delay the shipment of law enforcement orders since the first quarter of 2020 as police forces and governments deal with its impact. In addition, our salesmen were generally unable to meet with and demonstrate our products to our law enforcement customers because of travel and other restrictions imposed by cities and states due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In person demonstration of our products to potential customers is generally important in order to obtain new customers or upgrade existing customers. Our product sales to law enforcement slightly increased in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the shipment of commercial orders in the first quarter of 2021 as cruise lines, taxi cabs, paratransit and other commercial customers dealt with its impact. In addition, our salesmen were generally unable to meet with and demonstrate our products to our commercial customers because of travel and other restrictions imposed by cities and states due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In person demonstration of our products to potential customers is generally required in order to obtain new customers or upgrade existing customers. Our product sales to commercial customers slightly increased in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. ● Management has been focusing on migrating customers, from a “hardware sale” to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in hardware sales as we convert these customers to a service model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service fee. In that respect, we introduced a monthly subscription agreement plan for our body worn cameras and related equipment during the second quarter of 2020 that allowed law enforcement agencies to pay a monthly service fee to obtain body worn cameras without incurring a significant upfront capital outlay. This program continues to hold traction, resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years. 29 Service and other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $623,252 and $659,209, respectively, a decrease of $35,957 (5%), due to the following factors: ● Cloud revenues were $241,653 and $227,124 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $14,529 (6%). We have experienced increased interest in our cloud solutions for law enforcement primarily due to the deployment of our new cloud-based EVO-HD in-car system; however, the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and related business shut-downs affected our commercial customers usage of cloud services and lessened the increases in cloud revenues. ● Revenues from extended warranty services were $254,692 and $333,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $78,676 (24%). We have many customers that have purchased extended warranty packages, primarily in our DVM-800 premium service program. However, the affects from the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on travel adversely affected our sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in a decrease in their sales of 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. ● Installation service revenues were $89,502 and $36,656 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $52,845 (144%). Installation revenues tend to vary more than other service revenue types and are dependent on larger customer implementations. The increase in installation revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period 2020 was attributable to the easing of travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed our technicians to complete on-site installations in the first quarter of 2021. The Company was able to work through backlog for installations that had increased with the travel restrictions in place during most of 2020. ● Software revenue, non-warranty repair and other revenues were $37,405 and $62,061 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $24,656 (40%). Software revenues were $3,022 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $17,855 in the same period in 2020 and non-warranty repairs were $10,840 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $18,585 in the same period in 2020. Situational security event fees were $16,200 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $21,600 in the same period in 2020, along with minor declines in other revenue items. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,535,829 and $2,425,745, respectively, an increase of $110,084 (5%), due to the reasons noted above. Cost of Revenue Cost of product revenue on units sold for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,561,310 and $989,247, respectively, an increase of $572,063 (58%). The increase in cost of goods sold for products is primarily due to a significant increase in inbound freight for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, as the Company received several large shipments from oversees during the quarter due to our expanded product line. Furthermore, the Company increased its inventory reserve in the first quarter of 2021, thus increasing cost of sales for the quarter. Additionally, RMA returns as a percentage of product revenues was 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cost of service and other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $162,637 and $171,470, respectively, a decrease of $8,833 (5%). The decrease in service and other cost of goods sold is primarily due to the 7% decrease in service and other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We believe our gross margins will improve during the remainder of 2021 if we can increase revenues (in particular service and other revenues) and continue to reduce product warranty issues. We had $2,388,257 and $1,960,351 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $3,141,836 and $3,186,426 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, a decrease of $44,590 (1%). Finished goods balances were $8,128,666 and $6,974,291 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, an increase of $1,154,375 (17%). The increase in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the aging of older version inventory component parts that were mostly or fully reserved during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The remaining reserve for inventory obsolescence is generally provided for the level of component parts of the older versions of our PCB boards and the phase out of our DVM-750, DVM-500 Plus and LaserAlly legacy products. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels at March 31, 2021. 30 Gross Profit Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $811,882 and $1,265,028, respectively, a decrease of $453,146 (36%). The decrease is largely due to the increased inbound freight costs and increased inventory levels during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Our goal is to improve our margins to 60% over the longer-term based on the expected margins of our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink and FirstVU HD and our cloud evidence storage and management offering if they gain traction in the marketplace and subject to a normalizing economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, if revenues from these products increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from them through economies of scale and more efficiently utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficient management of our supply chain through outsourcing production, quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,677,575 and $3,192,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $485,179 (15%). The increase was fueled by an increase in travel expenses as COVID-19 restriction begin to ease, as well as an increase in insurance expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 Research and development expense $ 448,965 $ 485,748 Selling, advertising and promotional expense 596,755 682,381 Professional fees and expense 232,577 339,592 Executive, sales, and administrative staff payroll 684,159 720,778 Other 1,715,119 963,897 Total $ 3,677,575 $ 3,192,396 Research and development expense. We continue to focus on bringing new products to market, including updates and improvements to current products. Our research and development expenses totaled $448,965 and $485,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $36,783 (8%). Most of our engineers are dedicated to research and development activities for new products, primarily the ThermoVu TM , Shield TM , EVO-HD and non-mirror based DVM-250 that can be located in multiple places in a vehicle. We expect our research and development activities will continue to trend higher in future quarters as we continue to expand our product offerings based on our new EVO-HD product platform and as we outsource more development projects. We consider our research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and intend to continue to invest in this area on a prudent basis and consistent with our financial resources. Selling, advertising and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $596,755 and $682,381 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $85,626 (13%). Salesman salaries and commissions represent the primary components of these costs and were $399,552 and $577,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $178,398 (31%). The effective commission rate was 15.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 23.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We reduced the number of salesmen in our law enforcement and commercial channels compared to the first quarter of 2020, which reduced such expenses for the first quarter of 2021. Promotional and advertising expenses totaled $197,203 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $104,431 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $92,772 (89%). The increase is primarily attributable to the NASCAR and IndyCar seasons resuming in the first quarter of 2021, as they were conversely suspended late in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, trade shows are beginning to take place in the first quarter of 2021, compared to the first quarter of 2020, when they were suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 31 Professional fees and expense . Professional fees and expenses totaled $232,577 and $339,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $107,015 (32%). The decrease in professional fees is primarily attributable to the termination of the Axon Enterprises, Inc. (“Axon”) lawsuit in 2020. We appealed the ruling against us by the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (the “U.S. District Court”) in such lawsuit and on April 22, 2020, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”) denied our appeal and affirmed the U.S. District Court’s previous decision to grant Axon summary judgment. The Company filed a motion requesting a rehearing in front of the Court of Appeals which motion was also denied on June 9, 2020. The Company had until November 7, 2020 to decide whether it would appeal the U.S. District Court’s and Court of Appeals’ decisions to the United States Supreme Court. Our spending on legal fees on the Axon case had slowed during 2020, and the Company has decided not to appeal the decisions to the United States Supreme Court and to abandon the lawsuit against Axon, which reduced the amount of legal expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. Executive, sales and administrative staff payroll. Executive, sales and administrative staff payroll expenses totaled $684,159 and $720,778 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, a decrease of $36,619 (5%). The primary reason for the decrease in executive, sales and administrative staff payroll was a reduction in technical support staffing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic after the first quarter of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly impacted the Company’s new event security business channel in 2020 as many sporting venues were closed including those served by these service technicians. The Company expects additions to resume as these events and venues begin to resume throughout the country. Other . Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,715,119 and $963,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $751,222 (78%). The increase in other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily attributable to an increase in travel costs as COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease, as well as substantially increased insurance costs compared to the same period in 2020. The increased insurance costs are primarily in general liability and related coverages which premiums have been increased to address exposure to the Covid-19 pandemic. Operating Loss For the reasons stated above, our operating loss was $2,865,693 and $1,927,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $938,325 (49%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues worsened to 113% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 80% in the same period in 2020. Interest Income Interest income increased to $41,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $6,263 in the same period of 2020, which reflected our increase in cash and cash equivalent levels in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The Company completed two registered direct offerings in the first quarter of 2021 which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million which balances have earned increased interest income when compared to the first quarter of 2020 Additionally, this increase is a result of interest incurred on debt that the Company has issued, as well as interest incurred on leased products. Interest Expense We incurred interest expense of $1,427 and $307,560 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was attributable to utilizing a portion of the net proceeds from the registered direct offerings to eliminate substantially all interest-bearing debt balances outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. On May 12, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in additional loan funding under the Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Under the terms of the EIDL promissory note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the EIDL promissory note is thirty years and monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement and total $731.00 per month thereafter. The EIDL loans represent the Company’s only interest-bearing debt outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,500,000 shares of Common Stock in association with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from their issuance date to March 31, 2021 totaled $24,552,257 which was recognized as a gain in the first quarter of 2021. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of their issuance date, and as of March 31, 2021, to be $51,216,058 and $26,663,802, respectively. 32 Income/(Loss) before Income Tax Benefit As a result of the above results of operations, we reported an income/(loss) before income tax benefit of $21,721,858 and ($2,334,110) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an improvement of $24,055,968 (1,031%). Income Tax Benefit We did not record an income tax expense related to our income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to our overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021. We had approximately $76,070,000 of net operating loss carryforwards and $1,795,000 of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of March 31, 2021 available to offset future net taxable income. Net Income/(Loss) As a result of the above results of operations, we reported net income/(loss) of $21,721,858 and ($2,334,110) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an improvement of $24,055,968 (1,031%). Basic and Diluted Income/(Loss) per Share The basic and diluted income/(loss) per share was $0.49 and ($0.17) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Basic income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive, and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share. Liquidity and Capital Resources Overall: Management’s Liquidity Plan. The Company has historically raised capital in the form of equity and debt instruments from private and public sources to supplement its needs for funds to support its business operational and strategic plans. In recent years the Company has accessed the public and private capital markets to raise funding through the issuance of debt and equity. In that regard, the Company had raised net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million in registered direct offerings of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants during the three months ended March 3, 2021. Furthermore, the Company’s only remaining interest-bearing debt at March 31, 2021 is $160,000 remaining due on the promissory notes under the SBA’s PPP and EIDL programs. The net proceeds of the registered direct offerings are sufficient to fund our operations during the remainder of 2021 and management believes that it now has adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future from the recently completed registered direct offerings in 2021. Such offerings were completed through utilization of the Company’s shelf-registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239419), which was initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC) on June 25, 2020 and was declared effective on July 2, 2020 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 - The Shelf Registration Statement allows the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings, any combination of our shares of Common Stock, debt securities, debt securities convertible into Common Stock or other securities in any combination thereof, rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities in any combination thereof, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities in any combination thereof or units consisting of Common Stock or other securities in any combination thereof having an aggregate initial offering price not exceeding $125,000,000. The Company utilized the Shelf Registration Statement for two recent offerings of its securities, as more fully described in Note 11 of the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, “Stockholders’ Equity”, raising approximately $66.4 million in net proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Management believes that it has adequate funding to support its business operations for the foreseeable future as a result of the funds raised through these Offerings. 33 Cash, cash equivalents: As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance of $67,626,240, an increase from a balance of $4,361,758 at December 31, 2020. Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections are the main elements of the $63,264,482 net increase in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2021: ● Operating activities : $3,206,844 of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $3,206,844 and $2,044,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $1,162,392. The increase was primarily the result of increased inventory levels and the net payment of accounts payables during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. ● Investing activities : $99,274 of net cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $99,274 and $30,663 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. In each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred costs for tooling of new products, an integrated display system and for patent applications on our proprietary technology utilized in our new products and included in intangible assets. ● Financing activities : $66,570,600 of net cash provided by financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $66,570,600 and $2,043,956 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During January 2021, we received net proceeds of $28,941,000 ($29,013,000 upon full exercise of the prefunded warrants) from the issuance of shares of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants through a registered direct offering. In addition, during February 2021, we received net proceeds of $37,447,100 ($37,557,600 upon full exercise of the prefunded warrants) from the issuance of shares of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants through a registered direct offering. The net result of these activities was an increase in cash of $63,264,482 to $67,626,240 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Commitments: We had $67,626,240 of cash and cash equivalents and net positive working capital $51,446,912 as of March 31, 2021. Accounts receivable balances represented $3,040,781 of our net working capital at March 31, 2021. We believe we be able to collect our outstanding receivables on a timely basis and reduce the overall level during the balance of 2021, which would provide positive cash flow to support our operations during 2021. Inventory represents $8,889,916 of our net working capital at March 31, 2021, and finished goods represented $8,128,666 of total inventory at March 31, 2021. We are actively managing the level of inventory and our goal is to reduce such level during the balance of 2021 by our sales activities, the increase of which should provide additional cash flow to help support our operations during 2021. Capital Expenditures . On February 24, 2021 the Company entered into a contract to purchase a 71,361 square foot building located in Lenexa Kansas which is intended to serve as the Company’s office and warehouse needs. The building contains approximately 30,000 square foot of office space and the remainder warehouse space. The total purchase price is approximately $5.3 million and the Company closed on this purchase on April 30, 2021. Lease commitments. On May 13, 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for new warehouse and office space, which will serve as its new principal executive office and primary business location. The original lease agreement was amended on August 28, 2020 to correct the footage under lease and monthly payment amounts resulting from such correction. The lease terms, as amended include no base rent for the first nine months and monthly payments ranging from $12,398 to $14,741 thereafter, with a termination date of December 2026. The Company is responsible for property taxes, utilities, insurance and its proportionate share of common area costs related to its new location. The Company took possession of the leased facilities on June 15, 2020. The remaining lease term for the Company’s office and warehouse operating lease as of March 31, 2021 was sixty-nine months. The Company entered into an operating lease with a third party in October 2019 for copiers used for office and warehouse purposes. The terms of the lease include 48 monthly payments of $1,598 with a maturity date of October 2023. The Company has the option to purchase such equipment at maturity for its estimated fair market value at that point in time. The remaining lease term for the Company’s copier operating lease as of March 31, 2021 was 31 months. 34 Lease expense related to the office space and copier operating leases was recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Total lease expense under the two operating leases was approximately $32,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The discount rate implicit within the Company’s operating leases was not generally determinable, and therefore, the Company determined the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate on the information available at commencement date. As of commencement date, the operating lease liabilities reflect a weighted average discount rate of 8%. The following sets forth the operating lease right of use assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021: Assets: Operating lease right of use assets $ 748,742 Liabilities: Operating lease obligations-current portion $ 117,322 Operating lease obligations-less current portion $ 703,983 Total operating lease obligations $ 821,305 The components of lease expense were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2021: Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 32,057 Following are the minimum lease payments for each year and in total. Year ending December 31: 2021(April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) $ 133,260 2022 184,145 2023 184,241 2024 171,642 2025 & beyond 333,705 Total undiscounted minimum future lease payments 1,006,993 Imputed interest (185,688 ) Total operating lease liability $ 821,305 Debt obligations – Outstanding debt obligations comprises the following: March 31, 2021 Economic injury disaster loan (EIDL) $ 150,000 Payroll protection program loan (PPP) 10,000 Debt obligations $ 160,000 Debt obligations mature as follows as of March 31, 2021: March 31, 2021 2021 (April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021) $ 7,602 2022 6,206 2023 3,166 2024 3,286 2025 3,412 2026 and thereafter 136,328 Total $ 160,000 35 2020 Small Business Administration Notes . On May 4, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note in connection with the receipt of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan of $1,418,900 (the “PPP Loan”) under the SBA’s PPP Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan had a two-year term and bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments were deferred for nine months after the date of disbursement and totaled $79,850 per month thereafter. The PPP Loan could have been prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note contained events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The PPP provides that the PPP Loan may be partially or wholly forgiven if the funds are used for certain qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company used the majority of the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and December 10, 2020, the Company was fully forgiven of its $1,418,900 PPP Loan, less the $10,000 EIDL advance received with the PPP Loan. On May 12, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in loan funding from the SBA under the EIDL program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a secured promissory note, dated May 8, 2020, in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the note issued under the EIDL program, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of such note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under such note. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement and total $731 per month thereafter. Such note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Company granted the secured party a continuing interest in and to any and all collateral, including but not limited to tangible and intangible personal property. Critical Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ,” to our consolidated financial statements. While the selection and application of any accounting policy may involve some level of subjective judgments and estimates, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to our financial statements, potentially involve the most subjective judgments in their selection and application, and are the most susceptible to uncertainties and changing conditions: ● Revenue Recognition / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts; ● Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory; ● Warranty Reserves; ● Fair value of warrant derivative liabilities; ● Stock-based Compensation Expense; and ● Accounting for Income Taxes. Revenue Recognition / Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Revenue is recognized for the shipment of products or delivery of service when all five of the following conditions are met: (i) Identify the contract with the customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. We consider the terms and conditions of the contract and our customary business practices in identifying our contracts under ASC 606. We determine we have a contract when the customer order is approved, we can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, we can identify the payment terms for the services, we have determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay and the contract has commercial substance. At contract inception we evaluate whether the contract includes more than one performance obligation. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services and the products that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services and the products is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our performance obligations consist of (i) products, (ii) professional services, and (iii) extended warranties. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component. 36 If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the promised service to a customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the service is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for our services. We generate all our revenue from contracts with customers. We review all significant, unusual or nonstandard shipments of product or delivery of services as a routine part of our accounting and financial reporting process to determine compliance with these requirements. Extended warranties are offered on selected products, and when a customer purchases an extended warranty the associated proceeds are treated as contract liability and recognized over the term of the extended warranty. Our principal customers are state, local and federal law enforcement agencies, which historically have been low risks for uncollectible accounts. However, we have commercial customers and international distributors that present a greater risk for uncollectible accounts than such law enforcement customers and we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. Our historical bad debts have been negligible, with less than $258,000 charged off as uncollectible on cumulative revenues of $238.9 million since we commenced deliveries during 2006. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had provided a reserve for doubtful accounts of $123,224 and $123,224, respectively. We periodically perform a specific review of significant individual receivables outstanding for risk of loss due to uncollectability. Based on such review, we consider our reserve for doubtful accounts to be adequate as of March 31, 2021. However, should the balance due from any significant customer ultimately become uncollectible then our allowance for bad debts will not be sufficient to cover the charge-off and we will be required to record additional bad debt expense in our statement of operations. Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. We record valuation reserves on our inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory items. The amount of the reserve is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. On a quarterly basis, management performs an analysis of the underlying inventory to identify reserves needed for excess and obsolescence. Management uses its best judgment to estimate appropriate reserves based on this analysis. In addition, we adjust the carrying value of inventory if the current market value of that inventory is below its cost. Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2021 and 2020: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Raw material and component parts $ 3,141,836 $ 3,186,426 Work-in-process 7,670 1,907 Finished goods 8,128,666 6,974,291 Subtotal 11,278,172 10,162,625 Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory (2,388,256 ) (1,960,351 ) Total inventories $ 8,889,916 $ 8,202,274 We balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance to our customers against the risk of inventory obsolescence due to changing technology and customer requirements. As reflected above, our inventory reserves represented 21.2% of the gross inventory balance at March 31, 2021, compared to 19.3% of the gross inventory balance at December 31, 2020. We had $2,388,256 and $1,960,351 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $3,141,836 and $3,186,426 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, a decrease of $44,590 (1%). Finished goods balances were $8,128,666 and $6,974,291 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, an increase of $1,154,375 (17%). The increase in finished goods was primarily attributable to accumulating inventory for the new and expending Shield and ThermoVU product lines. The slight increase in the inventory reserve is primarily due to older version legacy products continuing to receive growing reserves as they age during 2021. The remaining reserve for inventory obsolescence is generally provided for the level of component parts of the older versions of our printed circuit boards and the phase out of our DVM-750, DVM-500 Plus and LaserAlly legacy products. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels at March 31, 2021. 37 If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management or significant engineering changes to our products that are not anticipated and appropriately managed, additional inventory write-downs may be required in excess of the inventory reserves already established. Warranty Reserves. We generally provide up to a two-year parts and labor standard warranty on our products to our customers. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims. We actively study trends of claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize claims. Our warranty reserves were decreased to $9,243 as of March 31, 2021 compared to $31,845 as of December 31, 2020 as we begin to slow our warranty exposures through the roll-off of DVM-750 and DVM-800 units from warranty coverage. Standard warranty exposure on the DVM-800 and DVM-250plus are the responsibility of the contract manufacturers which reduced our overall warranty exposure as these are very popular products in our line. There is a risk that we will have higher warranty claim frequency rates and average cost of claims than our history has indicated on our legacy mirror products on our new products for which we have limited experience. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities in future periods. Warrant derivative liabilities. On January 14, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrant terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company under certain circumstances in the event of tender offers. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Furthermore, the Company revalues the fair value of warrant derivative liability as of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned to equity. The Company has utilized the following assumptions in its Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the estimated fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities as of their date of issuance and as of March 31, 2021: Issuance date assumptions March 31, 2021 assumptions Volatility - range 106.6 – 166.6 % 106.7 % Risk-free rate 0.08 - 0.49 % 0.92 % Dividend 0 % 0 % Remaining contractual term 0.01 - 5 years 4.8 years Exercise price $ 2.80 - 3.25 $ 3.25 Common stock issuable under the warrants 42,550,000 24,300,000 During the three months ended March 31, 2021, holders of pre-funded warrants exercised a total of 18,250,000 warrants which were fair valued at $1,817,549 at their date of issuance and recorded as a derivative warrant liability. On the date of exercise such pre-funded warrants were fair valued at zero, which was transitioned to permanent equity during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company reported the $1,817,549 change in fair value from their issuance date to their exercise date in the condensed statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Stock-based Compensation Expense . We grant stock options to our employees and directors and such benefits provided are share-based payment awards which require us to make significant estimates related to determining the value of our share-based compensation. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock that are obtained from public data sources and there were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021. If factors change and we develop different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate share-based compensation. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair values of our share-based compensation. Certain share-based payment awards, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined using an established option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. In addition, we account for forfeitures as they occur. Accounting for Income Taxes. Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit. As required by authoritative guidance, we record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Authoritative guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2020, cumulative valuation allowances in the amount of $24,595,000 were recorded in connection with the net deferred income tax assets. We determined that it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 because of the overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until we determine that we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we determine that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related to deductions for stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity. 38 As required by authoritative guidance, we have performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by the FASB, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. We have no recorded liability as of December 31, 2020 representing uncertain tax positions. We have generated substantial deferred income tax assets related to our operations primarily from the charge to compensation expense taken for stock options, certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. For us to realize the income tax benefit of these assets, we must generate sufficient taxable income in future periods when such deductions are allowed for income tax purposes. In some cases where deferred taxes were the result of compensation expense recognized on stock options, our ability to realize the income tax benefit of these assets is also dependent on our share price increasing to a point where these options have intrinsic value at least equal to the grant date fair value and are exercised. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is needed in connection with our deferred income tax assets, we have evaluated our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to utilize the benefit of the deferred income tax assets. We continue to evaluate our ability to use recorded deferred income tax asset balances. If we fail to generate taxable income for financial reporting in future years, no additional tax benefit would be recognized for those losses, since we will not have accumulated enough positive evidence to support our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Therefore, we may be required to increase our valuation allowance in future periods should our assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income not be realized. Inflation and Seasonality Inflation has not materially affected us during the past fiscal year. We do not believe that our business is seasonal in nature however; we usually generate higher revenues during the second half of the calendar year than in the first half. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Not Applicable. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of such disclosure controls and procedures for this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Report was recorded, processed, summarized and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate and within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. 39 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during its last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting. PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved as set forth in Note 8 – Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) is incorporated by reference into this Item 1. In addition to such legal proceedings, we are faced with or involved in various other claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our businesses.
