most US-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020.
−Removed: By that time, much of our first fiscal quarter was completed.
−Removed: During the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2020,
−Removed: we observed recent decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily our law-enforcement and commercial customers.
−Removed: the fact that our products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, we expect our sales will experience more volatility
−Removed: as a result of the changing and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: are aware that many companies, including many of our suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from
−Removed: COVID-19 on future operating results.
−Removed: Although we observed significant declines in demand for our products from certain customers
−Removed: during the year ended December 31, 2020, we believe that it remains too early for us to know the exact impact COVID-19 will have
−Removed: on the long-term demand for our products.
−Removed: We also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time as the impacts of the COVID-19
−Removed: pandemic may go through several phases of varying severity and duration.
−Removed: light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impacts on certain industries that use our products and services, we have
−Removed: taken, and continue to take targeted steps to lower our operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
−Removed: We continue to monitor
−Removed: the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that
−Removed: are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: expect there to be material changes to our assets on our balance sheet or our ability to timely account for those assets.
−Removed: in connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we reviewed the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
−Removed: on goodwill and intangible assets and have determined there to be no material impact at this time.
−Removed: We have also reviewed the potential
−Removed: impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items.
−Removed: date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted our ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver
−Removed: products or services to customers.
−Removed: However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities
−Removed: in a way that would harm our business over the long term.
−Removed: Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist
−Removed: our customers and distributors as well as impact our ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present we do not expect
−Removed: these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results.
−Removed: We have taken steps to restrain
−Removed: and monitor our operating expenses and therefore we do not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between
−Removed: costs and revenues.
−Removed: most companies, we have taken a range of actions with respect to how we operate to assure we comply with government restrictions
−Removed: and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of our employees and our ability to continue operating
−Removed: our business effectively.
−Removed: To date, we have been able to operate our business effectively using these measures and to maintain
−Removed: internal controls as documented and posted.
−Removed: We also have not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and
−Removed: do not expect to incur material expenditures to do so.
−Removed: However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have
−Removed: remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future.
−Removed: actions we have taken so far during the COVID-19 pandemic include, but are not limited to:
−Removed: all employees who can work from home to work from home;
−Removed: our IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office;
−Removed: employees who must perform essential functions in one of our offices:
−Removed: employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from
−Removed: other employees whenever possible;
−Removed: employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk all
−Removed: employees who perform similar tasks might become infected by COVID-19;
−Removed: employees stay segregated from other employees in the office
−Removed: with whom they require no interaction;
−Removed: employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever
−Removed: currently believe revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 may decline year over year due to the conditions noted.
−Removed: 2020, we implemented a COVID-19 mitigation plan designed to further reduce our operating expenses during the pandemic.
−Removed: taken to date include work hour and salary reductions for senior management.
−Removed: These cost reductions are in addition to the significant
−Removed: restructuring actions we initiated in the first quarter of 2020.
−Removed: Based on our current cash position, our projected cash flow from
−Removed: operations and our cost reduction and cost containment efforts to date, we believe that we will have sufficient capital and or
−Removed: have access to sufficient capital through public and private equity and debt offerings to sustain operations for a period of one
−Removed: year following the date of this filing.
−Removed: If business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic were to be prolonged or
−Removed: expanded in scope, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted.
−Removed: continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity.
−Removed: We supply technology-based
−Removed: products utilizing our portable digital video and audio recording capabilities for the law enforcement and security industries

+Added: confirmed cases, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, changes in government spending and requirements,
+Added: regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and market volatility.
+Added: We operate within the complex
+Added: integrated global supply chain for both vendors and customers.
+Added: As the COVID-19 pandemic dissipates at varying times and rates in different
+Added: regions around the world, there could be a prolonged negative impact on these global supply chains.
+Added: Our ability to continue operations
+Added: at specific facilities will be impacted by the interdependencies of the various participants of these global supply chains, which are
+Added: largely beyond our direct control.
+Added: A prolonged shut down of these global supply chains could have a material adverse effect on our business,
+Added: results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
+Added: If our suppliers have increased
+Added: challenges with their workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism, reactions to health and safety or government requirements),
+Added: facility closures, timely access to necessary components, materials and other supplies at reasonable prices, access to capital, and access
+Added: to fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation), they may be unable to provide the agreed-upon goods and services
+Added: in a timely, compliant and cost-effective manner.
+Added: We have incurred and may in the future incur additional costs and delays in our business
+Added: resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of higher prices, schedule delays or the need to identify and develop alternative
+Added: In some instances, we may be unable to identify and develop alternative suppliers, incurring additional liabilities under
+Added: our current contracts and hampering new ones.
+Added: Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations
+Added: and supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders, or collection risks,
+Added: and which may adversely affect our results of operations.
+Added: Similarly, current, and future restrictions or disruptions of transportation,
+Added: such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures or delays, and increased border controls, delays or closures, can also impact
+Added: our ability to meet demand and could materially adversely affect us.
+Added: spread of COVID-19 caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical
+Added: participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures), and we may take further actions as may be required
+Added: by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers.
+Added: Although we managed to continue most of our operations, the future course of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and we cannot assure
+Added: that this global pandemic, including its economic impact, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position,
+Added: results of operations and/or cash flows.

−Removed: Our FirstVU HD integrates with our in-car video systems through our patented VuLink system
−Removed: allowing for automatic activation of both systems.
−Removed: and FleetVU Manager
−Removed: is a cost-effective, fully expandable, law enforcement cloud storage solution powered by AWS that provides redundant and security-enhanced
−Removed: storage of all uploaded videos that comply with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Criminal Justice Information
−Removed: Services Division requirements.
−Removed: Manager is our web-based software for commercial fleet tracking and monitoring that features and manages video captured by our
−Removed: video event data recorders of incidents requiring attention, such as accidents.
−Removed: This software solution features our cloud-based
−Removed: web portal that utilizes many of the features of our VuVault.net law-enforcement cloud-based storage solution.
−Removed: and Shield Disinfectants
−Removed: is a non-contact temperature-screening instrument that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities
−Removed: when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined parameters.
−Removed: ThermoVu has optional features such as facial recognition to improve
−Removed: facility security by restricting access based on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons.
−Removed: ThermoVu provides an instant pass/fail
−Removed: audible tone with its temperature display and controls access to facilities based on such results.
−Removed: Disinfectants and Cleansers consists of a disinfectant and cleanser line, which is for use against viruses and bacteria, that
−Removed: is less harsh than many of the traditional products now widely distributed.
−Removed: Shield Disinfectants and Cleansers is offered in a
−Removed: variety of sizes and quantities.
−Removed: Company has also begun distributing other personal protective equipment and supplies such as masks and gloves to supplement
−Removed: its Shield brand of products to health care workers as well as other consumers.
−Removed: During the last year,
−Removed: we focused our research and development efforts to meet the varying needs of our customers, enhance our existing products and
−Removed: commence development of new products and product categories.
−Removed: Our research and development efforts are intended to maintain and
−Removed: enhance our competitiveness in the market niche we have carved out, as well as positioning us to compete in diverse markets outside
−Removed: of law enforcement.
−Removed: In December 2019, we announced a partnership with Pivot International for design and manufacture of a new
−Removed: and innovative Breathalyzer Device utilizing our recently issued patent.
−Removed: With this new technology,

−Removed: (the “‘732 Patent’”) was granted by the U.S.
−Removed: Patent Office in August 2019 and is an expansion of our
−Removed: patented VuLink automatic activation technology.
−Removed: and Industry Overview
−Removed: Historically,
−Removed: our primary market has been domestic and international law enforcement agencies.
−Removed: In 2012, we expanded our scope by pursuing the
−Removed: commercial fleet vehicle and mass transit markets.
−Removed: Recently, we have expanded into event security services whereby we provide
−Removed: the hardware and software to supplement private security for NASCAR races, football and other sporting events, concerts and events
−Removed: where people gather.
−Removed: In the future, given sufficient capital and market opportunity, we may further expand or focus on private
−Removed: security, homeland security, mass transit, healthcare, general retail, educational, general consumer and other commercial markets.
−Removed: In that regard, we have several installations involving private security on cruise ships and similar markets.
−Removed: Our view is there
−Removed: are many potential private uses of our product offerings.
−Removed: We have sales in the commercial fleet and the ambulance service provider
−Removed: market, confirming that our DVM-250 Plus product and FleetVU Manager can become a significant revenue producer for us.
−Removed: believe that law enforcement already recognizes a valuable use of our various digital audio/video products for the recording of
−Removed: roadside sobriety tests.
−Removed: Without some form of video or audio recording, court proceedings usually consist of the police officer’s
−Removed: word against that of the suspect.
−Removed: Records show that conviction rates increase substantially where there is video evidence to back
−Removed: up officer testimony.
−Removed: Video evidence also helps to protect police departments against frivolous lawsuits.
−Removed: An important source of
−Removed: police video evidence today is in-car video.
−Removed: Some police cars still do not have in-car video, and in those that do, the
−Removed: camera usually points forward rather than to the side of the road where the sobriety test takes place.
−Removed: The in-car video is typically
−Removed: of little use for domestic violence investigations, burglary or theft investigations, disorderly conduct calls or physical assaults.
−Removed: In virtually all of these cases, the FirstVU HD may provide recorded evidence of the suspect’s actions and reactions to
−Removed: police intervention.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: motorcycle patrolmen rarely have video systems.
−Removed: Our FirstVU body camera is well suited as a mobile application of our digital
−Removed: video recording system that can be used by motorcycle police and water patrol.
−Removed: scene investigations, including detailed photography, are typically a large part of the budgets of metropolitan police forces.
−Removed: The FirstVU may record a significant portion of such evidence at a much lower cost for gathering, analyzing and storing data and
−Removed: and Other Markets
−Removed: are numerous potential applications for our digital audio/video camera products.
−Removed: We believe that other potential markets for our
−Removed: digital video systems, including the derivatives currently being developed, include private investigators, SWAT team members,
−Removed: over-the-road trucking fleets, airport security, municipal fire departments, and the U.S.
−Removed: Other potential commercial
−Removed: markets for our digital video systems include sporting venues and arenas.
−Removed: believe our products and offerings may be of benefit in kindergarten through twelve grade school systems.
−Removed: We are assessing our
−Removed: entry into this potential market through several pilot tests.
−Removed: Preliminary results of our exploration of this market have been
−Removed: mixed, but we believe it may represent a new addressable market for our mobile audio/video recording products in the future.
−Removed: tragic events at schools have heightened the need for providing a “safer”
−Removed: environment in general for schools.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: we believe this market would heavily utilize our new ThermoVu and Shield lines as the economy continues to deal with the Covid-19
−Removed: Security Companies
−Removed: are thousands of private security agencies in the United States employing a large number of guards.
−Removed: Police forces use video systems
−Removed: for proof of correct conduct by officers, but private security services usually have no such tool.
−Removed: We believe that the FirstVU
−Removed: HD is an excellent management tool for these companies to monitor conduct and timing of security rounds.
−Removed: In addition to the FirstVU
−Removed: HD, the digital video security camera can provide fill-in security when guards have large areas to cover or in areas that do not
−Removed: have to be monitored around the clock.
−Removed: we have expanded into event security services whereby we provide the hardware and software to supplement private security for
−Removed: NASCAR races, football and other sporting events, concerts and similar events where people gather.
−Removed: In this regard, we have obtained
−Removed: new customers including the Kansas City Chiefs, Met-Life Stadium, NASCAR and a number of other customers who have a need for event
−Removed: security for specific dates rather than 100% of the time.
−Removed: Additionally, we believe this market would heavily utilize our new
−Removed: ThermoVu and Shield lines as the economy continues to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
−Removed: We believe that this area will be a productive
−Removed: source of future revenues.
−Removed: Security Market
−Removed: addition to the government, U.S.
−Removed: corporations are spending heavily for protection against potential terrorist attacks.
−Removed: Public and private-sector outlays for antiterrorism measures and for protection against other forms of violence are significant.
−Removed: These are potential markets for our products.
−Removed: Manufacturing
−Removed: have entered into contracts with manufacturers for the assembly of the printed circuit boards used in our products.
−Removed: circuit board manufacturers are well-suited to the assembly of circuit boards with the complexity found in our products.
−Removed: board manufacturers can spread the extensive capital equipment costs of circuit board assembly among multiple projects and customers.
−Removed: Such manufacturers also have the volume to enable the frequent upgrade to state-of-the-art equipment.
−Removed: We have identified multiple
−Removed: suppliers who meet our quality, cost, and performance criteria.
−Removed: We also use more than one source for circuit board assembly to
−Removed: ensure a reliable supply over time.
−Removed: We use contract manufacturers to manufacture our component subassemblies and may eventually
−Removed: use them to perform final assembly and testing.
−Removed: Due to the complexity of our products, we believe that it is important to maintain
−Removed: a core of knowledgeable production personnel for consistent quality and to limit the dissemination of sensitive intellectual property,
−Removed: and we expect to continue this practice.
−Removed: In addition, such technicians are valuable in our service and repair business
−Removed: to support our growing installed customer base.
−Removed: also contract with two manufacturers that have manufacturing facilities in the Philippines and South Korea to produce our DVM-250
−Removed: Plus, DVM-800 and DVM-800 HD products.
−Removed: The contracts are general in nature addressing confidentiality and other matters, have
−Removed: no minimum purchase requirements and require the acceptance of specific purchase orders to support any product supply acquisitions.
−Removed: We are using additional contract manufacturers based in the United States for these product lines to further mitigate any supply
−Removed: disruption risk and ensure competitive pricing.
−Removed: We typically perform final assembly, testing and quality control functions for
−Removed: these products in our Lenexa, Kansas facility.
−Removed: and Marketing
−Removed: have an employee-based, direct sales force for domestic selling efforts that enables us to control and monitor its daily activities
−Removed: and independent distributors for international sales.

−Removed: The direct territory
−Removed: sales team is supported by a team of five inside sales representatives, a tele-sales specialist and a pre-sales solution design
−Removed: We also have a bid specialist to coordinate large bid opportunities.
−Removed: We believe our employee-based model encourages our
−Removed: sales personnel in lower performing territories to improve their efforts and, consequently, their sales results.
−Removed: Our executive
−Removed: team also supports sales agents with significant customer opportunities by providing pricing strategies and customer presentation
−Removed: Our technical support personnel may also provide sales agents with customer presentations and product specifications
−Removed: in order to facilitate sales activities.

+Added: Any future revisions to SEC or Nasdaq rules that further
+Added: limit matters for which broker discretionary voting is allowed may further harm our ability to obtain a quorum and stockholder approval
+Added: of certain matters.
+Added: Therefore, it is possible that even if we are able to obtain a quorum for our meetings of stockholders, we still
