Conclusion
Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable
assurance of achieving the control objectives, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation
as of December 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that
the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and was accumulated
and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over
financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies
and procedures that:
●
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
●
Provide
reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of our management and directors; and
●
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
All
internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission guidance allows companies to exclude acquisitions from management’s report on internal control
over financial reporting for the first year after the acquisition. In September 2021, we acquired TicketSmarter, LLC and Goody Tickets,
LLC (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 20—TicketSmarter Acquisition). Due to the timing of the
transaction, management has excluded TicketSmarter from our annual evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. The preliminary
total assets, excluding goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, for TicketSmarter represent approximately 14.8% to our consolidated
assets as of December 31, 2021. The preliminary total revenue of this acquisition represents less than 50.0% of our consolidated revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In
connection with the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by 2013 Internal
Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our
assessment using the framework in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework , management believes that, as of December
31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We
are in the process of integrating our recent acquisitions, which were acquired at numerous dates throughout 2021, into our overall internal
control over financial reporting process. Other than this integration, there
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2021, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material
impact to our internal controls over financial reporting resulting from the fact that employees are working remotely due to the global
COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to
minimize the affect on their design and operating effectiveness.

Opinion
on the Financial Statement
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Digital Ally, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the
years in the two year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In
our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31,
2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statement are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill
and Other Intangibles arising from the acquisition of TicketSmarter – Refer to Notes 1 and 20 to the consolidated financial
statements
Critical
Audit Matter Description
As
disclosed in Note 1, Goodwill arises in connection with acquisitions. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets
and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
As
disclosed in Note 20, on September 1, 2021, the Company completed an acquisition referred to as the TicketSmarter Acquisition in
accordance with the stock purchase agreement. The consideration included an initial payment through a combination of cash and common
stock. In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company agreed to issue an earn-out agreement to the selling stockholders in
the contingent amount of $4,244,400 that is subject to an earn-out adjustment based on actual EBITDA achieved in 2021. The Company
gave a fair value of approximately $3,700,000 to the earn-out on the date of acquisition which is considered a contingent liability.
However, following the completion of 2021, it was determined that the actual EBITDA threshold for any earn-out adjustment to be paid
was not met, therefore, the contingent earn-out is reduced to zero resulting in a gain related to this revaluation is recorded in
the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Auditing the accounting for the
acquisition was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the fair values of identified intangible
assets, which consisted of Sponsorship agreement network of $5,600,000, Trademarks of $600,000, Search engine optimization/content
of $600,000 and Goodwill of $5,675,280.
Given
the significant judgments made by management to estimate the earn-out as well as intangible assets acquired with the TicketSmarter Acquisition,
performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions required a high degree of
auditor judgment and an increased effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How
the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
●
We
utilized personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in valuation to assist in; a) assessing the appropriateness and relative
weighting of valuation methodology for the various intangible assets, including the With-and-Without Method, Cost to Replace, Relief
from Royalty and Monte Carlo Simulation, b) evaluating the reasonableness of the growth rates, percent of revenues lost without existing
agreements, discount rate used in the income approach, c) evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions and estimates used in
the various valuation methodologies.
F- 2
●
Evaluate
the reasonableness of management’s significant estimates and assumptions including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins,
discount rates and futures market conditions.
●
Evaluate
if there have been events and circumstances that might indicate Goodwill has been impaired.
●
Reviewed
and assessed the appropriateness of adjustments to Goodwill, Other Intangibles and other Assets and Liabilities acquired based on
changes to their estimated fair values.
Value
of Inventories – Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements
Critical
Audit Matter Description
Inventories
for the video solutions segment are held at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by standard cost methods,
which approximate the first-in, first-out method. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.
Inventories
for the ticketing segment are held at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and written-off after the event has occurred. Event
tickets for the ticketing segment are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and fully written off at the time the event
occurs if the ticket is unsold and remaining in inventory. Management has established inventory reserves based on estimates of excess
and/or obsolete current and non-current inventory.
Manufacturing
inventory for the video solutions segment is reviewed for obsolescence and excess quantities on a quarterly basis, based on estimated
future use of quantities on hand, which is determined based on past usage, planned changes to products and known trends in markets and
technology. Changes in support plans or technology could have a significant impact on obsolescence.
As
these service parts age over the related product group’s post-production service life, the Company reduces the net carrying value
of its repairable spare part inventory on the consolidated balance sheet to account for the excess that builds over the service life.
The post-production service life of systems is generally seven to twelve years and, at the end of twelve years, the carrying value for
these parts in consolidated balance sheet is reduced to zero. The Company also perform periodic monitoring of its installed base for
premature end of service life events and expense, through cost of sales, the remaining net carrying value of any related spare parts
inventory in the period incurred.
At
December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory in the video solutions segment of $3,353,458 and
a reserve for the ticketing segment of $561,631. Given the judgments made by management, a high degree of subjective and complex auditor
judgment was required to evaluate the estimates and assumptions related to the reserve for excess and obsolete inventory.
How
the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our
audit procedures related to the inventory reserve for the video solutions segment included the following, among others:
●
We evaluated the appropriateness
and consistency of management’s methods and assumptions used in developing their estimate of the inventory reserves.
●
We performed analysis
over key product metrics, inventory turnover, and margins, to identify and evaluate slow-moving inventory categories, negative margins,
or other trends which may indicate a requirement to reserve.
Our
audit procedures related to the inventory reserve for ticketing segment included the following, among others:
●
We evaluated the appropriateness
and consistency of management’s methods and assumptions used in developing their estimate of the inventory reserves.
●
We tested the reasonableness
of the reserve for events which have not occurred by analyzing historical activity prior to the acquisition and during the period
ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, we analyzed activity subsequent to the balance sheet date for events that have already occurred
to determine the amount written down to net realizable value on the date of the event.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature
of Business :
Digital
Ally, Inc. 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.
The
business of Digital Ally, Inc. (with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally
Healthcare, LLC, TicketSmarter, Inc., Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC, collectively,
“Digital Ally,” “Digital,” and the “Company”) is divided into three reportable operating segments:
1) the Video Solutions Segment, 2) the Revenue Cycle Management Segment and 3) the Ticketing Segment. The Video Solutions Segment is
our legacy business that produces digital video imaging, storage products, disinfectant and related safety products for use in law enforcement,
security and commercial applications. This segment includes both service and product revenues through our subscription models offering
cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and health safety solutions. The Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides
working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country, as a monthly service fee. The
Ticketing Segment we act as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com,
and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms. The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting
establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected
information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Such required segment information is included in Note 21.
The
Company also formed Worldwide Reinsurance Ltd., during 2021 which is a captive insurance company incorporated during 2021 and domiciled
in Bermuda. This wholly-owned subsidiary will provide primarily liability insurance coverage to the Company for which insurance may not
be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace.
The
following is a summary of the Company’s Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis
of Consolidation :
The
accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Digital Ally, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International,
Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC, TicketSmarter, Inc, and Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd. and its majority-owned
subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, 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. The Company formed Nobility Healthcare, LLC in June 2021 to facilitate the operations of its
revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services for healthcare organizations. Lastly, the Company formed TicketSmarter, Inc.
upon its acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, to facilitate the global ticketing operations. The Company formed
Worldwide Reinsurance Ltd., which is a captive insurance company incorporated during 2021 and domiciled in Bermuda. It will provide primarily
liability insurance coverage to the Company for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s
insurance marketplace.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments :
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and subordinated
notes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The Company accounts for its secured convertible
debentures and proceeds investment agreement on a fair value basis.
F- 8
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 has two different revenue streams, product and service, represented through its three segments. The Company reports all revenues
on a gross basis, other than service revenues from the Company’s ticketing and revenue cycle management segments, Revenues generated
by all segments are reported net of sales taxes.
Video
Solutions
The
Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the
customer. In situation 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 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.
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.
F- 9
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.
Revenue
Cycle Management
The
Company reports revenue cycle management revenues on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to end service fees
which is generally determined as a percentage of the invoice amounts collected. These service fees are reported as revenue monthly
upon completion of the Company’s performance obligation to provide the agreed upon service.
Ticketing
The
Company reports ticketing revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company is acting as
a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination is based upon the evaluation of control over the event ticket, including the
right to sell the ticket, prior to its transfer to the ticket buyer.
The
Company sells tickets held in inventory, which consists of one performance obligation, being to transfer control of an event ticket to
the buyer upon confirmation of the order. The Company acts as the principal in these transactions as the ticket is owned by the Company
at the time of sale, therefore controlling the ticket prior to transferring to the customer. In these transactions, revenue is recorded
on a gross basis based on the value of the ticket and is recognized when an order is confirmed. Payment is typically due upon delivery
of the ticket.
The
Company also acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers through the online secondary marketplace. Revenues derived from this
marketplace primarily consist of service fees from ticketing operations, and consists of one primary performance obligation, which is
facilitating the transaction between the buyer and seller, being satisfied at the time the order has been confirmed. As the Company does
not control the ticket prior to the transfer, the Company acts as an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recognized on a net basis,
net of the amount due to the seller when an order is confirmed, the seller is then obligated to deliver the tickets to the buyer per
the seller’s listing. Payment is due at the time of sale.
Other
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 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $ 1.7 million related to its contract liabilities. 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 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. Total contract liabilities consist of the following:

is determined based upon historical return rates adjusted for known changes in key variables affecting these return rates.
F- 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,
fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, incremental borrowing rate on leases, 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 numerous major financial institutions. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the uninsured balance amounted to
$ 29,836,142 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.
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.
F- 11
Goodwill
and Other Intangibles :
Goodwill
- In connection with acquisitions, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations , using the acquisition
method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired
is recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other , the Company assesses goodwill for impairment
annually as of December 31, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
Goodwill
impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially
recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and
all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill.
Traditionally,
goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step one involves comparing the fair value of the reporting units to its carrying
amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value is greater than its carrying amount, there
is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to
measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill. The Company has adopted ASU
2017-04 which simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the
Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value and recognized an impairment charge for the amount
by which the carrying amount exceeded the reporting unit’s fair value.
The
Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, the Company determined
fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows of each reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is
judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins,
discount rates and future market conditions, among others.
Long-lived
and Other Intangible Assets - The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with
the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets . An impairment review is performed whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets
at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities.
The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the operating segment level.
Factors
considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating
results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative
industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or
more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows,
if fair value is not available. The Company assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2021 and concluded
that there was no impairment.
Intangible
assets include deferred patent costs and license agreements. Legal expenses incurred in preparation of patent application have been deferred
and will be amortized over the useful life of granted patents. Costs incurred in preparation of applications that are not granted will
be charged to expense at that time. The Company has entered into several sublicense agreements under which it has been assigned the exclusive
rights to certain licensed materials used in its products. These sublicense agreements generally require upfront payments to obtain the
exclusive rights to such material. The Company capitalizes the upfront payments as intangible assets and amortizes such costs over their
estimated useful life on a straight-line method.
Inventories :
Inventories
for the video solutions segment consist of electronic parts, circuitry boards, camera parts and ancillary parts (collectively,
“components”), work-in-process and finished goods. Finished goods that are manufactured and assembled by the Company
are carried at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by standard cost methods, which approximate the first-in, first-out
method. Inventories for the ticketing segment consists of tickets to live events purchased, which are held at the lower of
cost or net realizable value, and written-off after the event has occurred. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing
overhead. Event tickets for the ticketing segment are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and
fully written off at the time the event occurs if the ticket is unsold and remaining in inventory. Management has established inventory
reserves based on estimates of excess and/or obsolete current and non-current inventory.
F- 12
Manufacturing
inventory for the video solutions segment is reviewed for obsolescence and excess quantities on a quarterly basis, based on estimated
future use of quantities on hand, which is determined based on past usage, planned changes to products and known trends in markets and
technology. Changes in support plans or technology could have a significant impact on obsolescence.
To
support our world-wide service operations for the video solutions segment, we maintain service spare parts inventory, which consists
of both consumable and repairable spare parts. Consumable service spare parts are used within our service business to replace worn or
damaged parts in a system during a service call and are generally classified in current inventory as our stock of this inventory turns
relatively quickly. However, if there has been no recent usage for a consumable service spare part, but the part is still necessary to
support systems under service contracts, the part is considered to be non-current and included within non-current inventories within
our consolidated balance sheet. Consumables are charged to cost of goods sold when issued during the service call.
As
these service parts age over the related product group’s post-production service life, we reduce the net carrying value of our
repairable spare part inventory on the consolidated balance sheet to account for the excess that builds over the service life. The post-production
service life of our systems is generally seven to twelve years and, at the end of twelve years, the carrying value for these parts in
our consolidated balance sheet is reduced to zero. We also perform periodic monitoring of our installed base for premature end of service
life events and expense, through cost of sales, the remaining net carrying value of any related spare parts inventory in the period incurred.
Property,
plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment
is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized while ordinary maintenance and repair expenditures
are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset,
which ranges from three to thirty years, other than the infinite useful life of land. Amortization expense on capitalized
leases is included with depreciation expense. The cost and accumulated depreciation related to assets sold or retired are removed from
the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
Leases :
The
Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. For arrangements where the Company is the lessee, the Company will
evaluate whether to account for the lease as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are included in the right of use assets
(ROU) and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. Finance leases would be included in
property, plant and equipment, net and long-term debt and finance lease obligations on the balance sheet. The Company had
operating leases for copiers and its office and warehouse space at December 31, 2021 but no financing leases.
ROU
assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the
operating lease liabilities if the operating lease does not provide an implicit rate. Lease terms may include the option to extend when
Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
F- 13
The
Company elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which ROU assets and lease liabilities are not
recognized for short term leases.
Proceeds
investment agreement :
The
Company has elected to record its proceeds investment agreement at its fair value. Accordingly, the proceeds investment agreement will
be marked-to-market at each reporting date with the change in fair value reported as a gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
All issuance costs related to the proceeds investment agreement were expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Secured
Convertible Notes :
The
Company has elected to record its senior convertible notes at its fair value. Accordingly, the senior convertible notes will be marked-to-market
at each reporting date with the change in fair value reported as a gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. All issuance
costs related to the senior convertible notes were expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Long-Lived
Assets :
Long-lived
assets such as property, plant and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require
a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable
on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value
is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party appraisals,
as considered necessary.
Warranties :
The
Company’s video solutions segment products carry explicit product warranties that extend up to two years from the date of
shipment. The Company records a provision for estimated warranty costs based upon historical warranty loss experience and periodically
adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience. Accrued warranty costs are included in accrued expenses. Extended warranties are
offered on selected products and when a customer purchases an extended warranty the associated proceeds are treated as contract liabilities
and recognized over the term of the extended warranty.
Shipping
and Handling Costs :
Shipping
and handling costs video solutions segment for outbound sales orders totaled $ 79,763
and $ 74,721
for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. Such costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Advertising
Costs :
Advertising
expense video solutions segment and ticketing segments includes costs related to trade shows and conventions, promotional material
and supplies, and media costs. Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The Company incurred total advertising
expense of approximately $ 4,110,032 and
$ 990,975 for
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Such costs are included in selling, advertising and promotional expenses in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
F- 14
Income
Taxes :
Deferred
taxes are provided for by the liability method in which deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences
are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The
Company applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
No. 740 - Income Taxes that provides a framework for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and provided a comprehensive model to
recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax
return. It initially recognizes tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained
upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position
and all relevant facts. Application requires numerous estimates based on available information. The Company considers many factors when
evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, and it recognized tax positions and tax benefits may not accurately anticipate
actual outcomes. As it obtains additional information, the Company may need to periodically adjust its recognized tax positions and tax
benefits. These periodic adjustments may have a material impact on its Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The
Company’s policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no interest expense related to the underpayment of estimated taxes during the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were no penalties in 2021 and 2020.
The
Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s tax returns filed
for 2018, 2019 and 2020 and to be filed for 2021 are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. With few exceptions,
as of December 31, 2021, the Company is no longer subject to Federal, state, or local examinations by tax authorities for taxable
years prior to 2018.
Research
and Development Expenses :
The
Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred, which is generally incurred by the video solutions segment. Development
costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product’s technological
feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company’s
products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological
feasibility were not significant, and software development costs were expensed as incurred during 2021 and 2020.
Issuance of Debt Instruments with Detachable
Stock Purchase Warrants
Proceeds from the issuance
of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) are allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair
values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so
allocated to the warrants are recorded as additional paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument
portion of the transaction. Such issuances generally result in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium) relative to the debt
instrument, which is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method.
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 first quarter of 2021,
and remain outstanding, 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.
Stock-Based
Compensation :
The
Company grants stock-based compensation to its employees, board of directors and certain third-party contractors. Share-based compensation
arrangements may include the issuance of options to purchase common stock in the future or the issuance of restricted stock, which generally
are subject to vesting requirements. The Company records stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation granted based
on the grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period
of the award.
F- 15
The
Company estimates the grant-date fair value of stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used to
estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:
●
Expected
term is determined using the contractual term and vesting period of the award;
●
Expected
volatility of award grants made in the Company’s plan is measured using the weighted average of historical daily changes in
the market price of the Company’s common stock over the period equal to the expected term of the award;
●
Expected
dividend rate is determined based on expected dividends to be declared;
●
Risk-free
interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of
the awards; and
●
Forfeitures
are accounted for as they occur.
Segment
Reporting
The
accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified
as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision
maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Video Solutions, Revenue Cycle Management, and Ticketing, each of which
has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate expenses capture the Company’s corporate
administrative activities, is also to be reported in the segment information. The Company’s captive insurance subsidiary provides
services to the Company’s other business segments and not to outside customers; however, had no activity in 2021. Therefore, its operations are eliminated in consolidation
and is not considered a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes.
Contingent
Consideration
In
circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement that meets the definition of a liability under the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments the Company expects to make as of
the acquisition date. The Company remeasures this liability each reporting period and records changes in the fair value through the consolidated
statement of operations.
Repurchase
and Cancellation of Shares
From
time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may authorize share repurchases of common stock. Shares
repurchased under Board authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes and cancelled when it is determined appropriate
by management. The Company accounts for repurchases of common stock under the cost method. Shares repurchased and cancelled during the
period were recorded as a reduction to stockholders’ (deficit) equity. See further discussion of the Company’s share repurchase
program in Note 15–Stockholders’ Equity.
Non-Controlling
Interests
Non-controlling
interests in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements represents the interest in subsidiaries held by venture partners.
The venture partners hold noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC. Since the
Company consolidates the financial statements of all wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries, the noncontrolling owners’ share
of each subsidiary’s results of operations are deducted and reported as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
New
Accounting Standards
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. Based on a preliminary analysis,
the Company does not expect the adoption of this new accounting standard will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations.
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.
F- 16
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.
For
financial liabilities measured using the fair value option in ASC 825, ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10):
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, issued in January 2016, requires entities to recognize the
changes in fair value of liabilities caused by a change in instrument specific credit risk (own credit risk) in other comprehensive income.
The ASU is effective for calendar-year public business entities beginning in 2018. For all other calendar-year entities, it is effective
for annual periods beginning in 2019 and interim periods beginning in 2020. Entities can early adopt certain provisions of the new standard,
including this provision related to financial liabilities measured under the fair value option. We have considered this guidance and
its impact on this debt accounted for at fair value. Based on discussions with our valuation expert and knowledge of the Company there
was no change in valuation caused by a change in the Company’s credit risk during the period ending December 31, 2020.
ASU
2018-09, Codification improvements, clarifies the accounting for a debt extinguishment when the fair value option is elected. Upon extinguishment
an entity shall include in net income the cumulative amount of the gain or loss previously recorded in other comprehensive income for
the extinguished debt that resulted from changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The ASU is effective for calendar-year public business
entities beginning in 2019. For all other calendar-year entities, it is effective for annual periods beginning in 2020 and interim periods
beginning in 2021. Early adoption is permitted for any fiscal year or interim period for which an entity’s financial statements
have not yet been issued or have not been made available to be issued. We have considered this guidance and its impact on this debt accounted
for at fair value. Based on discussions with our valuation expert and knowledge of the Company there was no change in valuation caused
by a change in the Company’s credit risk during the period ending December 31, 2020. Since there is no change accounted for as
a change in Credit Risk (included in other comprehensive income/loss) there is no impact to the Company’s financial statements
from this new guidance.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued 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 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation is not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect
of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
F- 17
In
August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , to improve the effectiveness of disclosures.
The amendments remove, modify, and add certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments
on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3
fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent
interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to
all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The
Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 is further described in
Note 9 , “ Fair Value Measurement ,” to our consolidating financial statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangible-Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) , or ASU 2018-15.
ASU 2018-15 updates guidance regarding accounting for implementation costs associated with a cloud computing arrangement that is a service
contract. The amendments under ASU 2018-15 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with
early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
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 simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.
We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.
NOTE
2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable. Sales to domestic customers
are typically made on credit and the Company generally does not require collateral while sales to international customers require payment
before shipment or backing by an irrevocable letter or credit. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’
financial condition and maintains an allowance for estimated losses. Accounts are written off when deemed uncollectible and accounts
receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $ 113,234
as of December 31, 2021 and $ 123,224
as of December 31, 2020.
F- 18
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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the uninsured balance amounted to $ 29,836,142
and $ 3,653,192 ,
respectively. The Company uses primarily a network of unaffiliated distributors for international sales and employee-based direct sales
force for domestic sales. No international distributor individually exceeded 10 %
of total revenues. One individual customer receivable balance exceeded 10 %
of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, which totaled $ 352,603
or 13 %
and $ 319,000
or 19 %
of total accounts receivable, respectively.
The
Company’s video solutions segment purchases finished circuit boards and other proprietary component parts from suppliers
located in the United States and on a limited basis from Asia. Although the Company obtains certain of these components from single source
suppliers, it generally owns all tooling and management has located alternative suppliers to reduce the risk in most cases to supplier
problems that could result in significant production delays. The Company has not historically experienced significant supply disruptions
from any of its principal vendors and does not anticipate future supply disruptions. The Company acquires most of its components on a
purchase order basis and does not have long-term contracts with its suppliers.

Small Business Administration Notes .
On
May 4, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note in connection with the receipt of the PPP Loan of $ 1,417,413
under the SBA’s PPP Program under 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 are deferred for nine months after the date of disbursement and total $ 79,850.57
per month thereafter. The PPP Loan may be prepaid
at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note contains 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 intended 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 applied for forgiveness of the
PPP Loan and on December 10, 2020 the Company was fully forgiven of its $ 1,417,413
PPP Loan. Additionally, during the year
ended December 31, 2021, the Company was fully forgiven of its $ 10,000
EIDL advance received in association with
the PPP Loan. Therefore, we recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt totaling $ 10,000 and $ 1,417,413 in our Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
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 an unsecured 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 $ 731.00 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.
2020
Secured Convertible Notes .
On
April 17, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with several accredited investors providing for the issuance
of (i) the Company’s 8 % secured convertible notes due April 16, 2021 with a principal face amount of $ 1,666,666 , which convertible
notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into 1,650,164 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share
of $ 1.01 (the “2020 Convertible Notes”), and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,237,624 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.31 , which warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the Warrants
have not been registered 180 days after the date of issuance. The accredited investors purchased the foregoing securities for an aggregate
cash purchase price of $ 1,500,000 .
F- 21
Under
the purchase agreement, the convertible notes and warrants contain provisions whereby the accredited investors are prohibited from exercising
their rights to convert the notes or exercise the warrants if, as a result of such conversion or exercise, such holder, together with
its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such exercise. However, the investors may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess
of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company .
The
Company elected to account for the secured convertible notes on the fair value basis. Therefore, the Company determined the fair value
of the secured convertible notes and the common stock purchase warrants which yielded estimated fair values of the secured convertible
notes including their embedded derivatives and the detachable common stock purchase warrants. The following represents the resulting
fair value as determined on April 17, 2020, the date of origination:

the year ended December 31, 2020, the holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes exercised their right to convert principal balances aggregating
$ 1,665,666
into equity. In addition, on June 12, 2020, the
Company exercised its right to prepay in cash the remaining outstanding principal balance aggregating $ 1,000 .
There remains no outstanding 2020 Convertible notes as of December 31, 2021 or 2020 as a result of these conversions and prepayments.
Under
the fair value basis, the Company determines the fair value of the secured convertible notes and adjusts the carrying value of the secured
convertible notes at each reporting date with the resulting charge or credit being reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.

2019
Secured Convertible Notes .
On
August 5, 2019, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement with several accredited investors providing for the issuance
of (i) the Company’s 8% secured convertible notes due August 4, 2020 with a principal face amount of $ 2,777,777 .78, which convertible
notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into 1,984,126 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price per share
of $ 1.40 ; (ii) five -year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 571,428 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.8125 , which warrants
are immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the Warrants have not been registered 180 days after the date of
issuance; and (iii) the issuance of shares of common stock equal to 5 % of the aggregate purchase price of the convertible notes, with
an aggregate value of $ 125,000 (the “Commitment Shares”). The accredited investors purchased the foregoing securities for
an aggregate cash purchase price of $ 2,500,000 .
Pursuant
to the purchase agreement, an aggregate of $ 1,153,320 in principal amount of convertible notes (the “Registered Notes”),
the conversion shares underlying the Registered Notes and all of the Commitment Shares were issued to the accredited investors in a registered
direct offering pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3.
Accordingly, $ 1,153,320 in original principal amount of our convertible notes were issued as Registered Notes pursuant to the shelf registration
statement and therefore freely tradable.
In
a related transaction and in accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company issued to the accredited investors in a concurrent private
placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, (1) the remaining aggregate of $ 1,624,457.78 in principal amount of convertible notes,
(2) the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon conversion of such convertible notes, and (3) the common shares underlying
the common stock purchase warrants. On September 5, 2019, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the securities
issued in the concurrent private placement including an aggregate of $ 1,624,457.78 in principal amount of previously non-registered convertible
notes, the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon conversion of such non-registered convertible notes and the common
stock underlying the common stock purchase warrants. Such Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2019.
In
connection with the purchase agreement, the Company and its subsidiary entered into a security agreement, dated as of August 5, 2019,
with the investors, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiary granted a security interest in, among other items, the Company and
its subsidiary’s accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds,
as set forth in the security agreement. In addition, pursuant to an intellectual property security agreement, dated as of August 5, 2019,
the Company granted a continuing security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under certain of
the Company’s trademarks, copyrights and patents. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary jointly and severally agreed to guarantee
and act as surety for the Company’s obligation to repay the convertible notes pursuant to a subsidiary guarantee.
Under
the purchase agreement, the convertible notes and warrants contain provisions whereby the accredited investors are prohibited from exercising
their rights to convert the notes or exercise the warrants if, as a result of such conversion or exercise, such holder, together with
its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such exercise. However, the investors may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess
of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company.
The
Company elected to account for the secured convertible notes on the fair value basis. Therefore, the Company determined the fair value
of the (1) secured convertible notes, (2) the Commitment Shares and (3) the common stock purchase warrants which yielded estimated fair
values of the secured convertible notes including their embedded derivatives, the Commitment Shares and the detachable common stock purchase
warrants. The following represents the resulting fair value as determined on August 5, 2019, the date of origination:

Proceeds Investment Agreement .
On
July 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Proceeds Investment Agreement (the “PIA Agreement”) with Brickell Key Investments
LP (“BKI”), pursuant to which BKI funded an aggregate of $ 500,000 (the “First Tranche”) to be used (i) to fund
the Company’s litigation proceedings relating to the infringement of certain patent assets listed in the PIA Agreement and (ii)
to repay the Company’s existing debt obligations and for certain working capital purposes set forth in the PIA Agreement. Pursuant
to the PIA Agreement, BKI was granted an option to provide the Company with an additional $ 9.5 million, at BKI’s sole discretion
(the “Second Tranche”). On August 21, 2018, BKI exercised its option on the Second Tranche for $ 9.5 million which completed
the $ 10 million funding.
Pursuant
to the PIA Agreement and in consideration for the $ 10 million in funding, the Company agreed to assign to BKI (i) 100% of all gross,
pre-tax monetary recoveries paid by any defendant(s) to the Company or its affiliates agreed to in a settlement or awarded in judgment
in connection with the patent assets, plus any interest paid in connection therewith by such defendant(s) (the “Patent Assets Proceeds”),
up to the minimum return (as defined in the Agreement) and (ii) if BKI has not received its minimum return by the earlier of a liquidity
event (as defined in the Agreement) and July 31, 2020, then the Company agreed to assign to BKI 100% of the Patent Asset Proceeds until
BKI has received an amount equal to the minimum return on $ 4.0 million.
Pursuant
to the PIA Agreement, the Company granted BKI (i) a senior security interest in the Patent Assets, the claims (as defined in the Agreement)
and the Patent Assets Proceeds until such time as the minimum return is paid, in which case, the security interest on the patent assets,
the claims and the Patent Assets Proceeds will be released, and (ii) a senior security interest in all other assets of the Company until
such time as the minimum return is paid on $ 4.0 million, in which case, the security interest on such other assets will be released.
The
security interest is enforceable by BKI if the Company is in default under the PIA Agreement which would occur if (i) the Company fails,
after five (5) days’ written notice, to pay any due amount payable to BKI under the PIA Agreement, (ii) the Company fails to comply
with any provision of the PIA Agreement or any other agreement or document contemplated under the PIA Agreement, (iii) the Company becomes
insolvent or insolvency proceedings are commenced (and not subsequently discharged) with respect to the Company, (iv) the Company’s
creditors commence actions against the Company (which are not subsequently discharged) that affect material assets of the Company, (v)
the Company, without BKI’s consent, incurs indebtedness other than immaterial ordinary course indebtedness up to $500,000, (vi)
the Company fails, within five (5) business days following the closing of the second tranche, to fully satisfy its obligations to certain
holders of the Company’s senior secured convertible promissory notes listed in the PIA Agreement and fails to obtain unconditional
releases from such holders as to the Company’s obligations to such holders and the security interests in the Company held by such
holders or (vii) there is an uncured non-compliance of the Company’s obligations or misrepresentations by the Company under the
PIA Agreement.
Under
the PIA Agreement, the Company issued BKI a warrant to purchase up to 465,712 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001
per share (the “PIA Warrant”), at an exercise price of $ 2.60 per share provided that the holder of the PIA Warrant will be
prohibited from exercising the PIA Warrant if, as a result of such exercise, such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more
than 4.99 % of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
However, such holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99 % , provided that any increase
in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice to the Company. The PIA Warrant is exercisable for five years
from the date of issuance and is exercisable on a cashless exercise basis if there is no effective registration statement. No contractual
registration rights were given.
F- 24
The
Company elected to account for the PIA on the fair value basis. Therefore, the Company determined
the fair value of the PIA and PIA Warrants which yielded estimated fair values of the PIA
including their embedded derivatives and the detachable PIA Warrants as follows:
SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES AND WARRANTS
Proceeds investment agreement
$ 9,067,513
Common stock purchase warrants

Gross cash proceeds

The
Company utilized a probability weighted present value of expected patent asset proceeds for the litigation involving both Axon and WatchGuard
(see Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies) which involved estimates of the amount and timing of the expected patent asset proceeds
from the alleged patent infringement. The fair value of the PIA is updated for actual and estimated activity affecting the probability
weighted present value of expected patent asset proceeds at each reporting date with the change charged/credited to operations. Following
is a range of certain estimates and assumptions utilized as of December 31, 2019 to probability weighted present value of expected patent
asset proceeds for the litigation involving both Axon and WatchGuard:

During
2019, the Company settled its patent infringement litigation with WatchGuard whereby it received a lump-sum payment of $ 6.0 million as
further described in Note 12. In accordance with the terms of the PIA, the Company remitted the $ 6.0 as a principal payment toward its
minimum return payment obligations under the PIA. The Company recorded the receipt of the $ 6,000,000 settlement as Patent litigation
settlement income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
On
July 20, 2020, the Company and BKI executed a Termination Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Termination Agreement”). Under
the terms of the Termination Agreement the parties agreed to terminate the PIA and to release each other from any further liability under
the PIA obligation.
Under
the terms of the Termination Agreement, upon payment of $ 1,250,000 by the Company to BKI both parties agreed to terminate the PIA and
to release each other from any further liability thereunder. Such $ 1,250,000 payment was made on July 22, 2020. In addition to the $ 1,250,000
payment, the Company further agreed to pay BKI the following: (a) a contingent payment in the amount of $ 2,750,000 following the closing
of an asset purchase, membership interest purchase, or similar transaction between the Company and a specified third-party (the “Purchase
Transaction”) and (b) any and all future proceeds received from Watchguard and its successors and assigns by the Company for WatchGuard’s
use of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,781,292 and 9,253,452. For clarity, the Company and BKI further agreed that the payment of the contingent payment
would only be due and payable upon the closing of the specified Purchase Transaction and the relevant contingent payment portion of the
Termination Agreement, and any obligations stemming therefrom, would automatically terminate if the specified Purchase Transaction is
abandoned prior to its closing, including its failure to close within three years from the date of the Termination Agreement.
The
parties abandoned the Purchase Transaction during the year ended December 31, 2020 and therefore, the contingent payment obligation automatically
terminated as the specified Purchase Transaction was abandoned prior to its closing. Furthermore, the Company does not anticipate any
future recoveries from Watchguard and its successors and assigns relative to WatchGuard’s use of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,781,292 and
9,253,452. As a result, the PIA obligation was extinguished upon the payment of the $ 1,250,000 required under the Termination Agreement.

Promissory Note Payable .
On
December 23, 2019, the Company, borrowed $ 300,000 under an unsecured note payable to a private, third-party lender. The promissory note
bears interest at the rate of 8 % per annum with principal and accrued interest payable on or before its maturity date of March 31, 2020 .
The Company granted the lender warrants exercisable to purchase a total of 107,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of
$ 1.40 per share until December 23, 2024. When determining the fair value of these warrants, the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes
model include the expected volatility of stock price of 86% , discount rate of 1.75 % , and expected dividends of 0% . The Company allocated
$ 71,869 of the proceeds of the promissory note to additional paid-in-capital, which represented the grant date relative fair value of
the warrants issued to the lender. The discount will be amortized to interest expense ratably over the term of the promissory note which
approximates the effective interest method. The amortization of discount resulted in $- 0 - and $ 66,061 of the discount amortized to interest
expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
On
January 17, 2020, the Company borrowed $ 100,000 under an unsecured note payable to a private, third-party lender. The promissory note
bore interest at the rate of 8 % per annum with principal and accrued interest payable on or before its maturity date of April 17, 2020 .
The Company granted the lender warrants exercisable to purchase a total of 35,750 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of
$ 1.40 per share until January 17, 2025. When determining the fair value of these warrants, the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes
model include the expected volatility of stock price of 86% , discount rate of 2% , and expected dividends of 0% . The Company allocated
$ 20,806 of the proceeds of the promissory note to additional paid-in-capital, which represented the grant date relative fair value of
the warrants issued to the lender. The note was repaid in full on March 12, 2020 and the discount was amortized to interest expense through
the date of payment. The amortization of discount resulted in $ 20,806 of the discount amortized to interest expense during the year ended
December 31, 2020.
Unsecured
Promissory Notes Payable – Related party
During
February and April 2020, the Company borrowed a total of $ 319,000 from the Company’s Chairman, CEO & President under an unsecured
promissory note bearing interest at 6 % through its May 28, 2020 maturity date. The proceeds from the note were used for general corporate
purposes. The principal balance and related accrued interest were paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2020. Total interest
accrued and paid on this note was $ 5,236 in 2020.
F- 26
Contingent
Consideration Promissory Notes
On
June 30, 2021, Nobility Healthcare, a subsidiary of the Company, issued a contingent consideration promissory note (the “June
Contingent Note”) in connection with a stock purchase agreement between Nobility Healthcare and a private company
(the “June Seller”) of $ 350,000 .
The Contingent Note has a three -year
term and bears interest at a rate of 3.00 %
per annum. Quarterly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months and is due in equal quarterly installments on the seventh
business day of each quarter. The principal amount of the June Contingent Note is subject to an earn-out adjustment, being the
difference between the $ 975,000
(the “June Projected Revenue”)
and the cash basis revenue (the “June Measurement Period Revenue”) collected by the June Seller in its normal
course of business from the clients existing on June 30, 2021, during the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 (the
“June Measurement Period”) measured on a quarterly basis and annualized as of the relevant period. If the June
Measurement Period Revenue is less than the June Projected Revenue, such amount will be subtracted from the principal balance
of this June Contingent Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the June Measurement Period Revenue is more than the June
Projected Revenue, such amount will be added to the principal balance of this June Contingent Note on a dollar-for-dollar
basis. In no event will the principal balance of this June Contingent Note become a negative number. The maximum downward earn-out
adjustment to the principal balance will be to zero. There are no limits to the increases to the principal balance of the June
Contingent Note as a result of the earn-out adjustments.
The
June Contingent Note is considered to be additional purchase price; therefore, the estimated fair value of the contingent liability
is recorded as a liability at the acquisition date and the fair value is considered part of the consideration paid for the acquisition
with subsequent changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management has
recorded the contingent consideration promissory note at its estimated fair value of $ 350,000
at the acquisition date. Management’s estimate
of the fair value of this June Contingent Note at December 31, 2021 to be $ 317,212
representing a reduction in its estimated
fair value of $ 32,788 .
The Company recorded a gain of $ 32,788
in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On
August 31, 2021, Nobility Healthcare, issued another contingent consideration promissory note (the “August Contingent
Payment Note”) in connection with a stock purchase agreement between Nobility Healthcare and a private company
(the “August Sellers”) of $ 650,000 .
The August Contingent Payment Note has a three -year
term and bears interest at a rate of 3.00 %
per annum. Quarterly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months and is due in equal quarterly installments on the seventh
business day of each quarter. The principal amount of the August Contingent Payment Note is subject to an earn-out adjustment,
being the difference between the $ 3,000,000
(the “August Projected Revenue”)
and the cash basis revenue (the “August Measurement Period Revenue”) collected by the August Sellers in its
normal course of business from the clients existing on September 1, 2021, during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30,
2022 (the “August Measurement Period”) measured on a quarterly basis and annualized as of the relevant period. If
the August Measurement Period Revenue is less than the August Projected Revenue, such amount will be subtracted from the
principal balance of this August Contingent Payment Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the August Measurement Period
Revenue is more than the August Projected Revenue, such amount will be added to the principal balance of this August Contingent
Payment Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In no event will the principal balance of this August Contingent Payment Note become
a negative number. The maximum downward earn-out adjustment to the principal balance will be to zero. There are no limits to the increases
to the principal balance of the August Contingent Payment Note as a result of the earn-out adjustments.
The
August Contingent Payment Note is considered to be additional purchase price, therefore the estimated fair value of the contingent
liability is recorded as a liability at the acquisition date and the fair value is considered part of the consideration paid for the
acquisition. Management has recorded the contingent consideration promissory note at its estimated fair value of $ 650,000
at the acquisition date. Management will continue
to estimate the fair value of this August Contingent Payment Note at each reporting date with the change, if any recorded as a
gain or loss in the statement of operations during the relevant period. Management determined that there was no change in estimated
fair value relative to this contingent consideration promissory note for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Contingent
consideration earn-out Agreement – TicketSmarter Acquisition
On
September 1, 2021, TicketSmarter, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, issued a contingent consideration earn-out agreement (the “TicketSmarter
Earn-Out”) in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement between TicketSmarter, Inc., Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC
(“TicketSmarter”) of up to $ 4,244,400
with a fair value at acquisition of $ 3,700,000 .
The TicketSmarter Earn-Out shall be payable with
ninety percent ( 90 %)
readily available funds and ten percent ( 10 %)
in stock consideration. The principal amount of the TicketSmarter Earn-Out is subject to an earn-out adjustment, being the difference
between the $ 2,896,829
(the “Projected EBITDA”) and the
actual EBITDA (the “Measurement Period EBITDA”) generated by TicketSmarter in its normal course of business, during
the period from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (the “Measurement Period”). If the Measurement Period EBITDA
is less than seventy percent ( 70 %)
of the Projected EBITDA, there will be zero contingent payment. If the Measurement Period EBITDA is between seventy percent ( 70 %)
and one hundred percent ( 100 %)
of the Projected EBITDA, then a fractional amount of the contingent payment will be paid out. If the Measurement Period EBITDA is more
than the Projected EBITDA, the full principal balance of this TicketSmarter Earn-Out will be paid out. In no event will the principal
balance of this TicketSmarter Earn-Out become a negative number. The maximum downward earn-out adjustment to the earn-out balance will
be to reduce the balance to zero.
F- 27
The
contingent consideration earn-out is considered to be additional purchase price, therefore the estimated fair value of the contingent
liability is recorded as a liability at the acquisition date and the fair value is considered part of the consideration paid for the
acquisition. Management has recorded the contingent consideration earn-out at its estimated fair value of $ 3,700,000
at the acquisition date. Management
determined that the actual Measurement Period EBITDA generated by TicketSmarter was less than 70% of the Projected EBITDA
threshold. Therefore, no TicketSmarter Earn-Out payments amounts were due under the agreement. Therefore, the fair value of the
contingent consideration earn-out agreement was reduced to zero, and the resulting gain of $ 3,700,000
was reported in
our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
NOTE
9. 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)
The
following table represents the Company’s hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets totaled $ 16,980,000
and $ 24,595,000
as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
The Company records the benefit it will derive in future accounting periods from tax losses and credits and deductible temporary differences
as “deferred tax assets.” In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company records a valuation allowance
to reduce the carrying value of our deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company generated income in 2021 but incurred operating losses 2021 and it continues to be in a three-year cumulative loss position at
December 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 decrease our valuation allowance by $ 7,615,000
but continue to fully reserve its deferred
tax assets at December 31, 2021. 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. 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.
As of
December 31, 2021, the Company had available approximately $ 81,385,000
of Federal net operating loss carry-forwards
available to offset future taxable income generated. Such tax net operating loss carry-forwards expire between 2026 and 2042, with $31,956,673 of the tax net operating loss carry-forwards have an indefinite life since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
of 2017. In addition,
the Company had research and development tax credit carry-forwards totaling $ 1,795,000
available as of December 31, 2021, which
expire between 2023 and 2038 .
The
Internal Revenue Code contains provisions under Section 382 which limit a company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards
in the event that it has experienced a more than 50% change in ownership over a three-year period. Current estimates prepared by the
Company indicate that due to ownership changes which have occurred, approximately $ 765,000
of its net operating loss and $ 175,000
of its research and development tax credit
carry-forwards are currently subject to an annual limitation of approximately $ 1,151,000
and may be further limited by additional
ownership changes which may occur in the future. As stated above, the net operating loss and research and development credit carry-forwards
expire between 2023 and 2038 ,
allowing the Company to potentially utilize all of the limited net operating loss carry-forwards during the carry-forward period.
As
discussed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The
Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position
meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial
statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement. Management has identified no tax positions taken that would meet or exceed these thresholds and therefore there
are no gross interest, penalties and unrecognized tax expense/benefits that are not expected to ultimately result in payment or receipt
of cash in the consolidated financial statements.
The
effective tax rate for the years ended December 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 December 31, 2021, primarily because of the current year operating losses.
The
Company’s federal and state income tax returns are closed for examination purposes by relevant statute and by examination for 2017
and all prior tax years.

NOTE
12. OPERATING LEASE
On
May 13, 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for new warehouse and office space which will served as its office,
assembly and warehouse 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

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 December 31, 2021 was sixty
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 December 31, 2021 was 22 months.
On
June 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of a private medical billing company, through its revenue cycle management segment.
Upon completion of this acquisition, the Company became responsible for the operating lease for the Seller’s office space.
The lease terms include monthly payments ranging from $ 2,648
to $ 2,774
thereafter, with a termination
date of July 2024 . The Company is responsible
for property taxes, utilities, insurance and its proportionate share of common area costs related to this location. The Company took
possession of the leased facilities on June 30, 2021. The remaining lease term for the Company’s office and warehouse operating
lease as of December 31, 2021 was 31
months.
On
August 31, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of a private medical billing company, through its revenue cycle management
segment. Upon completion of this acquisition, the Company became responsible for the operating lease for the Seller’s office
space. The lease terms include monthly payments ranging from $ 11,579
to $ 11,811
thereafter, with a termination
date of March 2023 . The Company is responsible
for property taxes, utilities, insurance and its proportionate share of common area costs related to this location. The Company took
possession of the leased facilities on September 1, 2021. The remaining lease term for the Company’s office and warehouse operating
lease as of December 31, 2021 was 15
months.
On
September 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC (“TicketSmarter Acquisition”),
through its ticketing segment. Upon completion of this acquisition, the Company became responsible for the operating lease for
TicketSmarter Inc.’s office space. The lease terms include monthly payments ranging from $ 7,211
to $ 7,364
thereafter, with a termination
date of December 2022 . The Company is responsible
for property taxes, utilities, insurance and its proportionate share of common area costs related to this location. The Company took
possession of the leased facilities on September 1, 2021. The remaining lease term for the Company’s office and warehouse operating
lease as of December 31, 2021 was 12
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 five operating leases was approximately $ 266,294
and $ 349,079 , for
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The
weighted-average remaining lease term related to the Company’s lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020
was 3.8 years and 5.8 years, respectively.
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 December 31, 2021:

13. COMMITMENTS AND 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.
Since that time, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global health and economic environment, including millions of
confirmed cases, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, changes in government spending and requirements,
regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and market volatility.
We operate within the complex
integrated global supply chain for both vendors and customers. As the COVID-19 pandemic dissipates at varying times and rates in different
regions around the world, there could be a prolonged negative impact on these global supply chains. Our ability to continue operations
at specific facilities will be impacted by the interdependencies of the various participants of these global supply chains, which are
largely beyond our direct control. A prolonged shut down of these global supply chains could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
If our suppliers have increased
challenges with their workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism, reactions to health and safety or government requirements),
facility closures, timely access to necessary components, materials and other supplies at reasonable prices, access to capital, and access
to fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation), they may be unable to provide the agreed-upon goods and services
in a timely, compliant and cost-effective manner. We have incurred and may in the future incur additional costs and delays in our business
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of higher prices, schedule delays or the need to identify and develop alternative
suppliers. In some instances, we may be unable to identify and develop alternative suppliers, incurring additional liabilities under
our current contracts and hampering new ones. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations
and supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders, or collection risks,
and which may adversely affect our results of operations. Similarly, current, and future restrictions or disruptions of transportation,
such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures or delays, and increased border controls, delays or closures, can also impact
our ability to meet demand and could materially adversely affect us.
The spread of COVID-19 caused
us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings,
events and conferences, and social distancing measures), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities
or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Although we managed to
continue most of our operations, the future course of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and we cannot assure that this global pandemic,
including its economic impact, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or
cash flows.
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.
F- 33
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 (Case No: 2:16-cv-02032) against 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 in Kansas was temporarily stayed following the filing of the petitions for IPR. However, on November 17, 2017,
the Federal District Court of Kansas rejected Axon’s request to maintain the stay. With this significant ruling, the parties will
now proceed towards trial. Since litigation has resumed, the Court has issued a claim construction order (also called a Markman Order)
where it sided with the Company on all disputes and denied Axon’s attempts to limit the scope of the claims. Following the Markman
Order, the Court set all remaining deadlines in the case. Fact discovery closed on October 8, 2018, and a Final Pretrial Conference
took place on January 16, 2019. The parties filed motions for summary judgment on January 31, 2019.
On
June 17, 2019, the Court granted Axon’s motion for summary judgment that Axon did not infringe on the Company’s patent and
dismissed the case. Importantly, the Court’s ruling did not find that Digital’s ‘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 claims as they relate to Axon and was unrelated to the supplemental briefing Digital recently filed on its damages claim and the
WatchGuard settlement. Those issues are separate and the judge’s ruling on summary judgment had nothing to do with Digital’s
damages request. The Company has filed an appeal to this ruling and has asked the appellate court to reverse this decision.
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 will be 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.
General
401
(k) Plan. The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of its employees. The plan, as amended, requires
it to provide 100 % matching contributions for employees, who elect to contribute up to 3% of their compensation to the plan and 50 % matching
contributions for employee’s elective deferrals on the next 2% of their contributions . The Company made matching contributions
totaling $ 127,293 and $ 110,491 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Each participant is 100 % vested at all
times in employee and employer matching contributions.
F- 34
Consulting
and Distributor Agreements. The Company entered into an agreement that required it to make monthly payments that will be applied
to future commissions and/or consulting fees to be earned by the provider. The agreement is with a limited liability company (“LLC”)
that is minority owned by a relative of the Company’s chief financial officer. Under the agreement, dated January 15, 2016, and
as amended on February 13, 2017, the LLC provides consulting services for developing a new distribution channel outside of law enforcement
for its body-worn camera and related cloud storage products to customers in the United States. The Company advanced amounts to the LLC
against commissions ranging from $ 5,000 to $ 6,000 per month plus necessary and reasonable expenses for the period through June 30, 2017,
which can be automatically extended based on the LLC achieving minimum sales quotas. The agreement was renewed in January 2017 for a
period of three years, subject to yearly minimum sales thresholds that would allow the Company to terminate the contract if such minimums
are not met. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had advanced a total of $ 274,731 pursuant to this agreement which has been fully reserved
for a net advance of $- 0 -. The minimum sales threshold was not met, and the Company discontinued all advances, although the contract
has not been formally terminated. However, the exclusivity provisions of the agreement have been terminated.
On
June 1, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an individual that required it to make monthly payments that will be applied
to future commissions and/or consulting fees to be earned by the provider. Under the agreement, the individual provides consulting services
for developing new distribution channels both inside and outside of law enforcement for its in-car and body-worn camera systems and related
cloud storage products to customers within and outside the United States. The Company was required to advance amounts to the individual
as an advance against commissions of $ 7,000 per month plus necessary and reasonable expenses for the period through August 31, 2018,
which was extended to December 31, 2018, by mutual agreement of the parties at $ 6,000 per month. The parties have mutually agreed to
further extend the arrangement on a monthly basis at $5,000 per month . The Company had advanced a total of $ 53,332 pursuant to this agreement,
until September 2020 when the agreement was mutually terminated, thus as of December 31, 2021, the Company had advanced $- 0 - pursuant
to this agreement.
NOTE
14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company recorded pre-tax compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and restricted stock issued of $ 1,605,949
and $ 1,462,270
for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
As
of December 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 22,053
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
December 31, 2021 total 5,689 .
The 2006 Plan terminated during 2016 with 39,974
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
December 31, 2021 total 25,625 .
The 2007 Plan terminated during 2017 with 94,651
shares not awarded or underlying options,
which shares are now unavailable for issuance. There are no
stock options granted under the 2007 Plan that
remain unexercised and outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The 2008 Plan terminated during 2018 with 40,499
shares not awarded or underlying options,
which shares are now unavailable for issuance. There are no
stock options granted under the 2008 Plan that
remain unexercised and outstanding as of December 31, 2021.
Our
Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2020 Plan”) on June 30, 2020 and
the Company’s stockholders approved the 2020 Plan at the Annual Meeting held on September 9, 2020. The Company’s stockholders
approved an amendment to the 2020 Plan at the Annual Meeting held on June 22, 2021 which increased the number of shares of
Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan to a total of 2,500,000 .
A total of 1,584,155
options and restricted stock have been granted
under the 2020 Plan to date. The 2020 Plan also authorizes us to grant (i) to the key employees’ incentive stock options to purchase
shares of Common Stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock and restricted stock awards and (ii) to non-employee
directors and consultants non-qualified stock options and restricted stock.
F- 35
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 915,845 shares remained available for awards under the various Plans as of December 31, 2021.
The
fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.

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 years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
F- 36
At
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was approximately $- 0 - and $ 86,150 , respectively, and
the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was approximately $- 0 - and $ 58,025 , respectively.
As
of December 31, 2021, the unrecognized portion of stock compensation expense on all existing stock options was $ 233,415
and will be recognized over the next six
months.

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.

NOTE
15. 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 26,008,598
shares of common stock at $ 2.60
to $ 3.75
per share as of December 31, 2021. The
warrants expire from February 23, 2022 through September 18, 2026 and
certain of the outstanding warrants 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 re-values the fair value of warrant derivative liability as
of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned to change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities through the consolidated
statement of operations.
On
August 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Investors cancelling
February Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 7,681,540 shares of Common Stock in consideration for its issuance of (i) new warrants
(the “Exchange Warrants”) to the Investors exercisable for an aggregate of up to 7,681,540
shares of Common Stock. The Company also
issued warrants (the “Replacement Original Warrants”) replacing the February Warrants for the remaining shares of Common
Stock exercisable thereunder, representing an aggregate of 6,618,460 shares of Common Stock, and extended the expiration date of the
February Warrants to September 18, 2026. The Exchange Warrants provide for an initial exercise price of $ 3.25
per share, subject to customary adjustments
thereunder, and are immediately exercisable upon issuance for cash and on a cashless basis. On the date of the exchange, the Company
calculated the fair value, using the Black-Scholes method, of the cancelled February Warrants and the newly issued Exchange Warrants,
the difference in fair value measurement of the respective warrants was attributed to warrant modification expense in the consolidated
statement of operations.
On
the date of the exchange, the February Warrants and Exchange Warrants were valued at $ 11,818,644
and $ 12,114,424
using the original and modified expiry date of the warrants, respectively, using the Black-Scholes method. The difference of $ 295,780
was accordingly recorded as a warrant modification expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Fluctuations
in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As
the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases,
therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant
unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value
of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally
result in higher fair value measurement. A 10 % change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not
result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.
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 December 31, 2021:

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 year ended December 31, 2021. The Company reported the $ 1,817,549
change in fair value from their issuance date to their exercise date in the statements of operations as the change in fair
value of warrant derivative liabilities.

In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment agreed to issue a promissory note
to the stockholders of the Healthcare Acquisition in the principal amount of $ 350,000
that is subject to an earn-out adjustment. Management’s
estimate of the fair value of this Contingent Note at December 31, 2021 is $ 317,212 .
The gain associated with the adjustment in
the estimated fair value of this contingent promissory note is recorded as a gain in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Lastly, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment agreed to pay
$ 162,552 representing the principal and accrued interest balance due under a promissory note issued to the selling
shareholders prior to the acquisition closing date. The Company’s revenue cycle management segment anticipates the
estimated fair value of the contingent promissory note to be paid in full, therefore, the total aggregate purchase price was determined
to be approximately $ 1,376,509 .
Total acquisition related costs aggregated $ 164,630 ,
which was expensed as incurred. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company received further information regarding the purchased
assets and assumed liabilities. As a result, the initial allocation of the purchase price was adjusted by increasing accounts receivable
by $ 75,000 with a corresponding reduction of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2021.
The
Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method and that the Company has early adopted the amendments of Regulation
S-X dated May 21, 2020 and has concluded that this acquisition was not significant. Accordingly, the presentation of the assets acquired,
historical financial statements under Rule 3-05 and related pro forma information under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, respectively, are
not required to be presented. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of the Healthcare Acquisition has been allocated to
the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the time of
the Healthcare Acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments that could materially affect the
timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements. Our assumptions and estimates are based upon information
obtained from the management of the Company’s revenue cycle management segment. The acquisition was structured as stock
purchase, therefore the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which will
not be amortized for income tax filing purposes. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the acquisition date.
The
purchase price of the Healthcare Acquisition was allocated to the tangible assets, and assumed liabilities
based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the time of the Healthcare Acquisition. The Company expects to retain the
services of independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of these identifiable intangible assets. Once determined, the Company
will reallocate the purchase price of the acquisition based on the results of the independent evaluation if they are materially different
from the allocations as recorded on June 30, 2021. The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in the Healthcare Acquisition were as follows:

NOTE
20. TICKETSMARTER ACQUISITION
On
September 1, 2021, Digital Ally, Inc. formed TicketSmarter, Inc. (“TicketSmarter”), through which the Company completed the
acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“Goody Tickets”) and TicketSmarter, LLC, a Kansas
limited liability company (“TicketSmarter LLC”), collectively the “TicketSmarter Acquisition”. TicketSmarter,
Inc. comprises the Company’s ticketing business segment. In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, the Company agreed
to an initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $ 9,403,600
through a combination of cash and common stock.
In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company agreed to issue an earn-out agreement to the stockholders of Goody Tickets and
TicketSmarter LLC in the contingent amount of $ 4,244,400
that is subject to an earn-out adjustment based
on actual EBITDA achieved in 2021, of which the Company gave a fair value of $ 3,700,000 on the date of acquisition. However, following
the completion of 2021, it was determined that the actual EBITDA threshold for any earn-out adjustment to be paid was not met. Thus,
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the contingent earn-out is reduced to zero, and the associated gain related to this revaluation
is recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Lastly, included in the agreement, the
Company agreed to place $ 500,000
in escrow, subject to a working capital adjustment
based on actual working capital amounts on the acquisition date as defined in the agreement, this amount was subject to disbursement
45 days following the close of the acquisition. The parties completed the working capital adjustment resulting in the Company retaining
$ 297,726
of the escrow amount with the $ 202,274
released to the Sellers. The total acquisition
related costs aggregated $ 40,625 ,
which was expensed as incurred.
The
Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method and that the Company has early adopted the amendments of Regulation
S-X dated May 21, 2020 and has concluded that this acquisition was not significant. Accordingly, the presentation of the assets acquired,
historical financial statements under Rule 3-05 and related pro forma information under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, respectively, are
not required to be presented. Under the acquisition method, the purchase price of the TicketSmarter Acquisition has been allocated
to Goody Tickets’ and TicketSmarter LLC’s acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based
on their estimated fair values at the time of the TicketSmarter Acquisition. This allocation involves a number of assumptions, estimates,
and judgments that could materially affect the timing or amounts recognized in our financial statements. The TicketSmarter Acquisition
was structured as a stock purchase, however the parties agreed to coordinate the election to invoke IRS Section 338(h)(10) relative to
this transaction for tax purposes. Therefore, the excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was recorded
as goodwill, which will be amortized over 15
years for income tax filing purposes.
Likewise, the other acquired assets were stepped up to fair value and is deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations
of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

The
purchase price of the TicketSmarter Acquisition was allocated to Goody Tickets’ and TicketSmarter LLC’s tangible assets,
goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the time

of these identifiable intangible assets. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of the identified intangible assets.

For
the period from the date of the TicketSmarter Acquisition to December 31, 2021, the Company adjusted its preliminary fair value estimates
and estimated useful lives based upon information obtained through December 31, 2021, which resulted in adjustments to the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price. These adjustments primarily related to estimated identifiable intangible asset fair values (primarily
related to the sponsorship agreement network), the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out agreement liability and goodwill.
The primary area of the acquisition accounting that had not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2021 related to identifiable intangible
assets, which could result in a change to goodwill.
During the measurement
period (which is the period required to obtain all necessary information that existed at the acquisition date, or to conclude that such
information is unavailable, not to exceed one year), additional assets or liabilities may be recognized, or there could be changes to
the amounts of assets or liabilities previously recognized on a preliminary basis, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances
that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of these assets or liabilities as of that
date. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration is more fully described in Note 8, “Debt Obligations”.
NOTE
21 - SEGMENT DATA
The
accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments
are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the
chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to
allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Video Solutions, Revenue Cycle
Management, and Ticketing, each of which has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate
expenses capture the Company’s corporate administrative activities, is also to be reported in the segment information. The
Company’s captive insurance subsidiary provides services to the Company’s other business segments and not to outside
customers. Therefore, its operations are eliminated in consolidation and is not considered a separate business segment for financial
reporting purposes.
The
Video Solutions Segment encompasses our law, commercial, and shield divisions. This segment includes both service and product revenues
through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and health safety solutions. The
Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout
the country, as a monthly service fee. The Ticketing Segment we act as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary
ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com, and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms.
The
Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in the corporate line item. These activities primarily include expense
related to certain corporate officers and support staff, certain accounting staff, expense related to the Company’s Board of Directors,
stock option expense for options granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities,
and a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of
cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income taxes.
