to receive no revenue in return; (12) characterization of our market by new products and rapid technological change; (13) our dependence
on sales of our EVO-HD, DVM-800, DVM-250 and FirstVU products; (14) that stockholders may lose all or part of their investment if we are
unable to compete in our markets and return to profitability; (15) defects in our products that could impair our ability to sell our products
or could result in litigation and other significant costs; (16) our dependence on a few manufacturers and suppliers for components of
our products and our dependence on domestic and foreign manufacturers for certain of our products; (17) our ability to protect technology
through patents and to protect our proprietary technology and information, such as trade secrets, through other similar means; (18) our
ability to generate more recurring cloud and service revenues; (19) risks related to our license arrangements; (20) the fluctuation of
our operation results from quarter to quarter; (21) sufficient voting power by coalitions of a few of our larger stockholders, including
directors and officers, to make corporate governance decisions that could have a significant effect on us and the other stockholders;
(22) the issuance or sale of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur in the future, which
may have a depressive effect on the market price of our securities; (23) potential dilution from the issuance of common stock underlying
outstanding options and warrants; (24) our additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the
rights of the holders of our common stock; (25) the volatility of our stock price due to a number of factors, including, but not limited
to, a relatively limited public float; (26) our ability to integrate and realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions; (27) our

Current
Trends and Recent Developments for the Company
Segment
Overview
Video
Solutions Operating Segment – Within our video solutions operating segment we supply technology-based products utilizing our
portable digital video and audio recording capabilities for the law enforcement and security industries and for the commercial fleet
and mass transit markets. We have the ability to integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create
positive solutions to our customers’ requests. Our products include: the EVO-HD, DVM-800 and DVM-800 Lite, which are in-car digital
video systems for law enforcement and commercial markets; the FirstVu body-worn camera line, consisting of the FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II,
and the FirstVu HD; our patented and revolutionary VuLink product which integrates our body-worn cameras with our in-car systems by providing
hands-free automatic activation for both law enforcement and commercial markets; the FLT-250, DVM-250, and DVM-250 Plus, which are our
commercial line of digital video mirrors that serve as “event recorders” for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets;
and FleetVu and VuLink, which are our cloud-based evidence management systems. We further diversified and broadened our product offerings
in 2020, by introducing two new lines of branded products: (1) the ThermoVu® which is a line of self-contained temperature monitoring
stations that provides alerts and controls facility access when an individual’s temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and (2)
our Shield™ disinfectants and cleansers which are for use against viruses and bacteria.
Our
video solutions segment revenue encompasses video recording products and services for our law enforcement and commercial customers and
the sale of Shield disinfectant and personal protective products. This segment generates revenues through our subscription models offering
cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and personal protective safety products and solutions. Revenues for product
sales are recognized upon delivery of the product, and revenues from our cloud and warranty subscription plans are deferred over the
term of the subscription, typically 3 or 5 years.
Revenue
Cycle Management Operating Segment - We have recently entered the revenue cycle management business late in the second quarter
of 2021 with the formation of our wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Ally Healthcare, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility
Healthcare. Nobility Healthcare completed its first acquisition on June 30, 2021, when it acquired a private medical billing
company, and a second acquisition on August 31, 2021 upon the completion of its acquisition of another private medical billing
company, along with two more acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022, in which we assist in providing
working capital and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. Our assistance consists of insurance
and benefit verification, medical treatment documentation and coding, and collections. Through our expertise and experience in this
field, we aim to maximize our customers’ service revenues collected, leading to substantial improvements in their operating
margins and cash flows.
Our
revenue cycle management segment consists of our medical billing subsidiaries. Revenues of this segment are recognized after we perform
the obligations of our revenue cycle management services. Our revenue cycle management services are services, performed and charged monthly,
generally based on a contractual percentage of total customer collections, for which we recognize our net service fees.
38
Ticketing
Operating Segment - We have also recently entered into live entertainment and events ticketing services through the formation of
our wholly owned subsidiary, TicketSmarter and its completed acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, on September
1, 2021. TicketSmarter provides ticket sales, partnerships, and mainly, ticket resale services through its online ticketing marketplace
for live events, TicketSmarter.com. TicketSmarter offers tickets for over 125,000 live events through its platform, for a wide range
of events, including concerts, sporting events, theatres, and performing arts, throughout the country.
Our
ticketing operating segment consists of ticketing services provided through TicketSmarter and its online platform, TicketSmarter.com.
Revenues of this segment include ticketing service charges generally determined as a percentage of the face value of the underlying ticket
and ticket sales from our ticket inventory which are recognized when the underlying tickets are sold. Ticketing direct expenses include
the cost of tickets purchased for resale by the Company and held as inventory, credit card fees, ticketing platform expenses, website
maintenance fees, along with other administrative costs.

Our
business is subject to substantial fluctuations on a quarterly basis as reflected in the significant variations in revenues and operating
results in the above table. These variations result from various factors, including but not limited to: (1) the timing of large individual
orders; (2) the traction gained by products, such as the recently released FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, FLT-250, EVO HD, the ThermoVu™
and the Shield™ lines; (3) production, quality and other supply chain issues affecting our cost of goods sold; (4) unusual increases
in operating expenses, such as the timing of trade shows and stock-based and bonus compensation; (5) the timing of patent infringement
litigation settlements (6) ongoing patent and other litigation and related expenses respecting outstanding lawsuits; (7) the impact of
COVID-19 on the economy and our businesses; and (8) the completion of corporate acquisitions. We reported a net loss of $1,065,513 on
revenues of $9,351,457 for the second quarter 2022.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet debt, nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations)
or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have a material current or future effect on financial
conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant
components of revenue or expenses other than the following:
We
are a party to operating leases and license agreements that represent commitments for future payments (described in Note 9, “Operating
Leases,” to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and we have issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business
that represent commitments to future payments for goods and services.

Revenues
Revenues
by Type and by Operating Segment
Our
operating segments generate two types of revenues:
Product
revenues primarily include video operating segment hardware sales of in-car and body-worn cameras, along with sales of our ThermoVu TM
units, disinfectants, and personal protective equipment. Additionally, product revenues also include the sale of tickets by our
ticketing operating segment that have been purchased or received through our sponsorships and partnerships and held in inventory by our
ticketing segment until their sale.
41
Service
and other revenues consist of cloud and warranty services revenues from our subscription plan and storage offerings of our video
solutions segment. Our ticketing operating segments’ secondary ticketing marketplace revenues are included in service revenue.
We recognize service revenue from sales generated through its secondary ticketing marketplace as we collect net services fees on secondary
ticketing marketplace transactions. Lastly, our revenue cycle management segment revenues are included in the service revenues for services
provided to medical providers throughout the country.
Our
video operating segment sells our products and services to customers in the following manner:
●
Sales
to domestic customers are made directly to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency or a commercial customer) through
our sales force, comprised of our employees. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
●
Sales
to international customers are made through independent distributors who purchase products from us at a wholesale price and sell
to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin
as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor generally maintains product inventory, customer receivables
and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the distributor consistent with
the terms of the distribution agreement.
●
Repair
parts and services for domestic and international customers are generally handled by our inside customer service employees. Revenue
is recognized upon shipment of the repair parts and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer.
Our
revenue cycle management operating segment sells its services to customers in the following manner:
●
Our
revenue cycle management operating segment generates service revenues through relationships with medium to large healthcare organizations,
in which the underlying service revenue is recognized upon execution of services. Service revenues are generally determined as a
percentage of the amount of medical billings collected by the customer.
Our
ticketing operating segment sells our products and services to customers in the following manner:
●
Our
ticketing operating segment generates product revenues from the sale of tickets directly to consumers for a particular event that
the ticketing operating segment has previously purchased and held in inventory for ultimate resale to the end consumer. Service sales
through TicketSmarter are driven largely in part by the usage of the TicketSmarter.com marketplace by buyers and sellers, in which
the Company collects service fees for each transaction completed through this platform.
We
may discount our prices on specific orders based upon the size of the order, the specific customer and the competitive landscape.
The
Omicron variant of COVID-19 and nationwide inflationary concerns had an impact on all of our operating segment revenue streams for the
three months ended June 30, 2022. In particular, it had a negative impact generally on our video solutions operating segment legacy products
and, specifically, our commercial event recorder hardware (DVM-250 Plus) and in-car hardware for law enforcement (DVM-800) during the
quarter. Ticketing operating segment revenues also continue to be negatively impacted due to the continued public caution surrounding
the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts of inflation on consumer’s discretionary spending.

revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2,210,181 and $1,719,332 respectively, an increase of $490,849 (29%),
due to the following factors:
●
Revenues
generated by the new ticketing operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter. The
new ticketing operating segment generated $805,939 in product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0-
for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This product revenue relates to the resale of tickets purchased for live events, including
sporting events, concerts, and theatre, then sold through various platforms to customers.
●
The
Company’s video segment operating segment generated revenues totaling $1,404,242 during the three months ended June 30, 2022
compared to $1,719,332 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to slowing sales of our ThermoVu TM product lines related
to our COVID-19 response. The Company launched two product lines in direct response to the increased safety precautions that organizations
and individuals are taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ThermoVu™ was launched as a non-contact temperature-screening instrument
that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined
parameters. ThermoVu™ has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based
on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu™ provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature
display and controls access to facilities based on such results. ThermoVu TM has been applied in schools, dental offices,
hospitals, office buildings, and other public venues. The Company also launched its Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer product
lines to fulfill demand by current customers and others for a disinfectant and sanitizer that is less harsh than many of the traditional
products now widely distributed. The Shield™ Cleanser product line contains a cleanser with no harsh chemicals or fumes. The
Company is beginning to experience decreased demand for these product lines as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to subside.
●
In general,
our video solutions operating segment has experienced decreased demand on its product revenues due to price-cutting and competitive actions
by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. We introduced
our new body-worn cameras, the FirstVu Pro and FirstVu II, in the fourth quarter of 2021, and we have begun to see increased traction
with these products in the first and second quarters of 2022. The Company hopes the interest throughout the marketplace continues to
grow for these new products as the market is able to review and test these new products.
●
Our video solutions operating segment management has been focusing on migrating
customers, and in particular commercial customers, from a hardware sale to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in commercial
hardware sales (principally DVM-250’s, FLT-250’s, and our body-worn camera line) as we convert these customers to a service
model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service fee. In that respect, we introduced a monthly subscription
agreement plan for our body worn cameras and related equipment during the second quarter of 2020 that allowed law enforcement agencies
to pay a monthly service fee to obtain body worn cameras without incurring a significant upfront capital outlay. This program has continued
to gain traction, resulting in decreased product revenues and increased service revenues. We expect this program to continue to gain momentum,
resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years.
Service and other revenues by

(822%), due to the following factors:
●
Cloud
revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $365,599 and $247,085 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively, an increase of $118,514 (48%). We have experienced increased interest in our cloud solutions for law enforcement
primarily due to the deployment of our cloud-based EVO-HD in-car system and our next generation body-worn camera products, which
contributed to our increased cloud revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2022. We expect this trend to continue throughout
2022 as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base.
43
●
Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services
were $163,639 and $232,614 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $68,975 (30%). However, the
continued effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected our sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in a decrease in
their sales in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
●
Our
new ticketing operating segment generated service revenues totaling $4,375,024 and $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,375,024 (100%). The Company completed the acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter,
LLC on September 1, 2021, thus resulting in the new revenue stream for the Company. TicketSmarter collects fees on transactions administered
through the TicketSmarter.com platform for the buying and selling of tickets for live events throughout the country. We expect our
ticketing operating segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward.
●
Our
new revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $2,120,739 and $-0- for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $2,120,739 (100%). Our revenue cycle management operating segment has completed
four acquisitions since formation in June of 2021, thus resulting in the new service revenue stream added in the three months ended
June 30, 2022. Our revenue cycle management operating segment provides revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services
to healthcare organizations throughout the country. We expect our revenue cycle management segment to continue to present a strong
revenue outlook moving forward.
Total
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $9,351,458 and $2,493,671, respectively, an increase of $6,857,786 (275%),
due to the reasons noted above.
Cost
of Product Revenue
Overall
cost of product revenue sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022,
and 2021 was $2,070,476 and $1,017,659, respectively, an increase of $1,052,817 (103%). Overall cost of goods sold for products as a percentage
of product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 were 93.7% and 59.2%, respectively. Cost of products sold by operating
segment is as follows:

The decrease in cost of goods
sold for our video solutions segment products is directly correlated with the decrease in product sales for the three months ended June
30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the video solutions segment recorded valuation allowances for
its older product lines and a portion of its Shield products during the second quarter of 2022, directly increasing cost of goods sold
for the period. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 73.3% for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 59.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
The increase in ticketing operating
segment cost of product sold is due to the acquisition of TicketSmarter in the third quarter of 2021, resulting in an increase to cost
of product revenue of $1,041,073 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the ticketing solutions was 129.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The Ticketing Segment recorded an allowance for unsold and under-market tickets during the first quarter of 2022 due to event cancellations
and restrictions imposed on the size and type of gatherings related to the Omicron variant.

We
recorded $3,722,467 and $3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Total raw materials and component parts were $4,083,713 and $3,062,046 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, an increase
of $1,021,667 (33%). Finished goods balances were $9,044,555 and $10,512,577 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a
decrease of $1,468,022 (14%) which was attributable to a decrease in finished goods from our newly acquired ticketing segment. The small
decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods and movement of excess inventory. We believe the
reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels as of June 30, 2022.
Cost
of Service Revenue
Overall
cost of service revenue sold for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 was $5,561,903 and $215,212, respectively, an increase
of $5,346,691 (2,484%). Overall cost of goods sold for services as a percentage of service revenues for the three months ended June 30,
2022, and 2021 were 77.9% and 27.8%, respectively. Cost of service revenues by operating segment is as follows:

the overall cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 81.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 49.4% for the three
months ended June 30, 2021. Our goal is to improve our margins over the longer term based on the expected margins generated by our new
recent revenue cycle management and ticketing operating segments together with our video solutions operating segment and its expected
margins from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink, FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, FirstVu HD, ThermoVu TM , Shield TM disinfectants
and our cloud evidence storage and management offering, provided that they gain traction in the marketplace and subject to a normalizing
economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and current inflationary concerns. In addition, if revenues from the video solutions segment
increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from this segment through expansion and increased efficiency utilizing fixed manufacturing
overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficient management of our supply chain through outsourcing production,
quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $8,380,330 and $3,877,684 for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,502,646 (116.1%). The increase was primarily attributable
to the recent acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2021. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased to 90% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 156% in the same period in 2021. The significant components
of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

Research
and development expense. We continue to focus on bringing new products to market, including updates and improvements to current
products. Our research and development expenses totaled $540,222 and $460,999 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
an increase of $79,223 (17.2%). Most of our engineers are dedicated to research and development activities for new products, primarily
the new generation of body-worn cameras, EVO-HD and non-mirror based DVM-250 that can be located in multiple places in a vehicle. We
expect our research and development activities will continue to trend higher in future quarters as we continue to expand our product
offerings based on our new body-worn camera and EVO-HD product platform and as we outsource more development projects. We consider our
research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and intend to continue to invest in this area
on a prudent basis and consistent with our financial resources.
Selling, advertising and
promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $2,763,045 and $870,183 for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $1,892,862 (217.5%). Promotional and advertising expenses represent the primary component
of these costs and totaled $2,361,235 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $373,968 during the three months ended
June 30, 2021, an increase of $1,987,267 (531.4%). The increase is primarily attributable to the 2022 sponsorship of NASCAR and IndyCar.
Additionally, TicketSmarter remains active in sponsorship and advertising. TicketSmarter accounted for $1,394,622 of the total promotional
and advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
General and administrative
expense . General and administrative expenses totaled $5,077,063 and $2,546,502 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, an increase of $2,530,561 (99.4%). The increase in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in administrative salaries, as payroll continues to
increase with the new acquisition completed by the Company’s healthcare venture during the first half of 2022. General and administrative
expense also increased due to a substantial increase in depreciation and amortization, rent expenses, and legal and professional expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of the numerous acquisitions completed by the
Company that were not relevant to the same period in 2021.
46
Operating
Loss
For
the reasons stated above, our operating loss was $6,661,252 and $2,616,884
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,044,368 (154.5%). Operating loss as a percentage
of revenues improved to 71% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 105% in the same period in 2021.
Interest
Income
Interest
income increased to $32,233 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $90,774 in the same period of 2021, which reflects our change
cash and cash equivalent levels in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The Company held significant cash
and cash equivalents throughout the second quarter of 2021, allowing a full three months of interest income due to the two completed
registered direct offerings in the first quarter of 2021 which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million.
Interest
Expense
We
incurred interest expense of $8,501 and $1,365 during the three months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is attributable to the contingent earn-out notes associated with the four Nobility
Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $1,119,344 for the four notes, with interest rates of 3.00% per annum.
Change
in Fair Value of Short-Term Investments
We
recognized a loss on change in fair value of short-term investments totaling $-0- and $1,590 during the three months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively. Such short-term investments are included in cash and cash equivalents as they contain original maturities of
ninety (90) days or less.
Change
in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Promissory Notes
During
the three months ended June 30, 2022, The Company recognized a gain on
the change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $542,096 and $-0- during the three months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively. This is in connection with the four acquisitions made by our revenue cycle management segment.
Change
in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
During
the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,500,000 shares of Common Stock in association
with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement
outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat
these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting
date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant
derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from March 31, 2022, to June 30, 2022, totaled
$5,413,618 which was recognized as a gain in the second quarter of 2022. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of
March 31, 2022, and as of June 30, 2022, to be $14,698,761 and $9,285,143, respectively.
Loss
before Income Tax Benefit
As
a result of the above results of operations, we reported a loss before
income tax benefit of $682,187 and $5,382,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,700,300
(87.3%).
Income
Tax Benefit
We
did not record an income tax expense related to our income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 due to our overall net operating
loss carryforwards available. We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets
as of June 30, 2022. We had approximately $81.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $1.8 million of research and development
tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2022 available to offset future net taxable income.
47
Net
Loss
As
a result of the above results of operations, we reported a net loss of $682,187
and $5,382,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,700,300 (87.3%).
Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests of Consolidated Subsidiary
The
Company owns a 51% equity interest in its consolidated subsidiary, Nobility
Healthcare. As a result, the noncontrolling shareholders or minority interest is allocated 49% of the income of Nobility Healthcare which
is reflected in the statement of income as “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”.
We reported net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary of $383,326 and $-0- for the three months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net
Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
As
a result of the above, we reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders
of $1,065,513 and $5,382,487 for the years three months June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,316,974 (80.2%).
Basic
and Diluted Loss per Share
The
basic and diluted loss per share was $0.02 and $0.10 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Basic loss per
share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive,
and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.

revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $4,620,241 and $3,631,910 respectively, an increase of $988,331 (27%),
due to the following factors:
●
Revenues
generated by the new ticketing operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter. The
new ticketing operating segment generated $1,879,769 in product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0-
for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This product revenue relates to the resale of tickets purchased for live events, including
sporting events, concerts, and theatre, then sold through various platforms to customers.
●
The
Company’s video segment operating segment generated revenues totaling $2,740,472 during the six months ended June 30, 2022
compared to $3,631,910 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to slowing sales of our ThermoVu TM product lines related
to our COVID-19 response. The Company launched two product lines in direct response to the increased safety precautions that organizations
and individuals are taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ThermoVu™ was launched as a non-contact temperature-screening instrument
that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined
parameters. ThermoVu™ has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based
on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu™ provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature
display and controls access to facilities based on such results. ThermoVu TM has been applied in schools, dental office,
hospitals, office buildings, and other public venues. The Company also launched its Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer product
lines to fulfill demand by current customers and others for a disinfectant and sanitizer that is less harsh than many of the traditional
products now widely distributed. The Shield™ Cleanser product line contains a cleanser with no harsh chemicals or fumes. The
Company is beginning to experience decreased demand on these product lines as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to subside.
●
In
general, our video solutions operating segment has experienced decreased demand on its product revenues due to price-cutting and competitive
actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition.
We introduced our new body-worn cameras, the FirstVu Pro and FirstVu II, in the fourth quarter of 2021, and we have begun to see increased
traction with these products in the first six months of 2022. The Company hopes the interest throughout the marketplace continues
to grow for these new products as the market is able to review and test these new products.
49
●
Our video solutions operating segment management has been focusing on migrating
customers, and in particular commercial customers, from a hardware sale to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in commercial
hardware sales (principally DVM-250’s, FLT-250’s, and our body-worn camera line) as we convert these customers to a service
model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service fee. In that respect, we introduced a monthly subscription
agreement plan for our body worn cameras and related equipment during the second quarter of 2020 that allowed law enforcement agencies
to pay a monthly service fee to obtain body worn cameras without incurring a significant upfront capital outlay. This program has continued
to gain traction, resulting in decreased product revenues and increased service revenues. We expect this program to continue to gain momentum,
resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years.

(975%), due to the following factors:
●
Cloud
revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $627,874 and $488,738 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively, an increase of $139,136 (28.5%). We have experienced increased interest in our cloud solutions for law enforcement
primarily due to the deployment of our cloud-based EVO-HD in-car system and our next generation body-worn camera products, which
contributed to our increased cloud revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2022. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2022
as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base.
●
Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services
were $363,130 and $487,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $124,177 (25.5%). However, the
continued effects from the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected our sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in a decrease in
their sales in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
●
Our
new ticketing operating segment generated service revenues totaling $9,681,969 and $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively, an increase of $9,681,969 (100%). The Company completed the acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter,
LLC on September 1, 2021, thus resulting in the new revenue stream for the Company. TicketSmarter collects fees on transactions administered
through the TicketSmarter.com platform for the buying and selling of tickets for live events throughout the country. We expect our
ticketing operating segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward.
●
Our
new revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $4,024,695 and $-0- for the six months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,024,695 (100%). Our revenue cycle management operating segment has completed four
acquisitions since formation in June of 2021, thus resulting in the new service revenue stream added in the six months ended June
30, 2022. Our revenue cycle management operating segment provides revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services to
healthcare organizations throughout the country. We expect our revenue cycle management segment to continue to present a strong revenue
outlook moving forward.
Total
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $19,646,238 and $5,029,501, respectively, an increase of $14,616,737 (291%),
due to the reasons noted above.
Cost
of Product Revenue
Overall cost of product revenue
sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 was $4,892,527 and $2,578,969, respectively, an increase of $2,313,558 (89.7%).
Overall cost of goods sold for products as a percentage of product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 were 105.8%

The decrease in cost of goods
sold for our video solutions segment products is directly correlated with the decrease in product sales for the six months ended June
30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the video solutions segment recorded valuation allowances for its
older product lines and a portion of its Shield products during the first six months of 2022, directly increasing cost of goods sold for
the period. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 91.5% for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 71.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The
increase in ticketing operating segment cost of product sold is due to the acquisition of TicketSmarter in the third quarter of 2021,
resulting in an increase to cost of product revenue of $2,385,409 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the six
months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the ticketing solutions was 126.9% for the six
months ended June 30, 2022. The Ticketing Segment recorded an allowance for unsold and under-market tickets during the first quarter
2022 due to event cancellations and restrictions imposed on the size and type of gatherings related to the Omicron variant.
We
recorded $3,722,467 and $3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Total raw materials and component parts were $4,083,713 and $3,062,046 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, an increase
of $1,021,667 (33%). Finished goods balances were $9,044,555 and $10,512,577 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a
decrease of $1,468,022 (14%) which was attributable to a decrease in finished goods from our newly acquired ticketing segment. The small
decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods and movement of excess inventory. We believe the
reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels as of June 30, 2022.
Cost
of Service Revenue
Overall
cost of service revenue sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 was $11,095,015 and $377,849, respectively, an increase
of $10,717,166 (2,836%). Overall cost of goods sold for services as a percentage of service revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2022, and 2021 were 73.8% and 27.0%, respectively. Cost of service revenues by operating segment is as follows:

The
increase in cost of service revenues for our video solutions segment is commensurate with the increase in service revenues in the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues
for the video solutions segment increased to 39.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 27.0% for the six months ended
June 30, 2021.
The
increase in revenue cycle management operating segment cost of service revenue is due to the four acquisitions of medical billing companies
completed since June 2021. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the revenue cycle management operating segment
was 58.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
51
The
increase in ticketing operating segment cost of service revenues is the due to the 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter, resulting in
an increase to cost of service revenue of $8,199,505 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the six months
ended June 30, 2021. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the ticketing segment was 84.7% for the six
months ended June 30, 2022.

six months ended June 30, 2022 from 58.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our goal is to improve our margins over the longer term
based on the expected margins generated by our new recent revenue cycle management and ticketing operating segments together with our
video solutions operating segment and its expected margins from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink, FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, FirstVu HD, ThermoVu TM ,
Shield TM disinfectants and our cloud evidence storage and management offering, provided that they gain traction in the marketplace
and subject to a normalizing economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and current inflationary concerns. In addition, if revenues
from the video solutions segment increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from this segment through expansion and increased
efficiency utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficient management of our supply
chain through outsourcing production, quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17,123,286 and $7,555,261 for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $9,568,025 (126.6%). The increase was primarily attributable
to the recent acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2021. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased to 87% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 150% in the same period in 2021. The significant components
of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

Research
and development expense. We continue to focus on bringing new products to market, including updates and improvements to current
products. Our research and development expenses totaled $1,038,222 and $909,964 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
an increase of $128,258 (14.1%). Most of our engineers are dedicated to research and development activities for new products, primarily
the new generation of body-worn cameras, EVO-HD and non-mirror based DVM-250 that can be located in multiple places in a vehicle. We
expect our research and development activities will continue to trend higher in future quarters as we continue to expand our product
offerings based on our new body-worn camera and EVO-HD product platform and as we outsource more development projects. We consider our
research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and intend to continue to invest in this area
on a prudent basis and consistent with our financial resources.
52
Selling, advertising and
promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $5,542,448 and $1,466,938 for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,075,510 (277.8%). Promotional and advertising expenses represent the primary component
of these costs and totaled $4,750,298 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $571,171 during the six months ended June
30, 2021, an increase of $4,179,127 (731.7%). The increase is primarily attributable to the 2022 sponsorship of NASCAR and IndyCar. Additionally,
TicketSmarter remains in sponsorship and advertising. TicketSmarter accounted for $2,852,888 of the total promotional and advertising
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
General and administrative
expense . General and administrative expenses totaled $10,542,616 and $5,178,359 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, an increase of $5,364,258 (103.6%). The increase in general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the same period in 2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in administrative salaries, as payroll continues to
increase with the new acquisition completed by the Company’s healthcare venture during the first half of 2022. General and administrative
expense also increased due to a substantial increase in depreciation and amortization, rent expenses, and legal and professional expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of the numerous acquisitions completed by the
Company that were not relevant to the same period in 2021.
Operating
Loss
For the reasons stated above,
our operating loss was $13,464,590 and $5,482,578 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $7,982,012
(145.6%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues improved to 69% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 109% in the same period
in 2021.
Interest
Income
Interest
income decreased to $103,595 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $132,461 in the same period of 2021, which reflects our
change in cash and cash equivalent levels in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. The Company held
significant cash and cash equivalents throughout the second quarter of 2021, allowing a full six months of interest income due to
the two completed registered direct offerings in the first quarter of 2021 which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4
million.
Interest
Expense
We
incurred interest expense of $25,511 and $2,793 during the six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is attributable to the contingent earn-out notes associated with the four Nobility
Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $1,119,344 for the four notes, with interest rates of 3.00% per annum.
Change
in Fair Value of Short-Term Investments
We
recognized a loss on change in fair value of short-term investments totaling $84,818 and $6,554 during the six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively. Such short-term investments are included in cash and cash equivalents as they contain original maturities
of ninety (90) days or less.
Change
in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Promissory Notes
During
the six months ended June 30, 2022, The Company recognized a gain on the
change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $486,046 and $-0- during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. This is in connection with the four acquisitions made by our revenue cycle management segment.
53
Change
in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
During
the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,500,000 shares of Common Stock in association
with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement
outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat
these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting
date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant
derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from December 31, 2021, to June 30, 2022, totaled
$5,561,789 which was recognized as a gain in the second quarter of 2022. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of
December 31, 2021, and as of June 30, 2022, to be $14,846,932 and $9,285,143, respectively.
Income/(Loss)
before Income Tax Benefit
As
a result of the above results of operations, we reported an income/(loss)
before income tax benefit of ($7,380,430) and $16,339,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of
$23,719,802 (145.2%).
Income
Tax Benefit
We
did not record an income tax expense related to our income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to our overall net operating loss
carryforwards available. We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as
of June 30, 2022. We had approximately $81.4 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $1.8 million of research and development
tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2022 available to offset future net taxable income.
Net
Income/(Loss)
As
a result of the above results of operations, we reported a net income/(loss)
of $(7,380,430) and $16,339,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $23,719,802 (145.2%).
Net
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests of Consolidated Subsidiary
The
Company owns a 51% equity interest in its consolidated subsidiary, Nobility
Healthcare. As a result, the noncontrolling shareholders or minority interest is allocated 49% of the income of Nobility Healthcare which
is reflected in the statement of income as “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”.
We reported net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary of $285,232 and $-0- for the six months ended
June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net
Income/(Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders
As
a result of the above, we reported a net income/(loss) attributable to
common stockholders of ($7,665,662) and $16,339,371 for the years six months June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $24,005,033
(146.9%).
Basic
and Diluted Income/(Loss) per Share
The
basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.15) and $0.34 for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise
of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive, and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.
54
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overall:
Management’s
Liquidity Plan. The Company has historically raised capital in the form of equity and debt instruments from private and public
sources to supplement its needs for funds to support its business operational and strategic plans. In recent years the Company has accessed
the public and private capital markets to raise funding through the issuance of debt and equity. In that regard, the Company had raised
net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million in registered direct offerings of common stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants during 2021.
Furthermore, the Company’s only remaining interest-bearing debt at June 30, 2022 is $150,000 remaining due on the promissory notes
under the SBA’s PPP and EIDL programs, along with the four acquired private medical billing companies’ contingent consideration
promissory notes, as more fully described in Note 3, “Debt Obligations” . We believe that the net proceeds from the
registered direct offerings will be sufficient to fund our operations during the remainder of 2022 and management believes that it now
has adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future from the 2021 registered direct offerings. However, should those funds not be sufficient,
the Company will explore numerous equity and debt instruments to obtain sufficient funds needed to support its business operations.
Management
believes that it has adequate funding to support its business operations for the foreseeable future as a result of the funds raised through
these offerings.
Cash,
cash equivalents: As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance
of $13,454,246, a decrease from a balance of $32,007,792 at December 31, 2021. Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail
in the subsequent subsections are the main elements of the $18,553,546 net decrease in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022:
●
Operating
activities :
$10,932,515 of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in
operating activities was $10,932,515 and $6,149,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $4,782,742.
The decrease is attributable to the net loss incurred for the first six months of 2022, the non-cash gain attributable to the change in
value of the warrant derivative liability, and the usage of cash to increase accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other operating
assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
●
Investing
activities :
$3,361,994 of net cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing
activities was $3,361,994 and $6,506,407 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the six months ended June
30, 2022, we made capital expenditures for: (i) building improvements of the newly purchased office and warehouse building, and transportation
assets; (ii) patent applications on our proprietary technology utilized in our new products and included in intangible assets; and (iii)
the closing of a business and asset acquisition.
●
Financing
activities :
$4,259,037 of net cash used in financing activities. Cash used in financing
activities was $4,259,037 and cash provided by financing activities was $66,570,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the first six months of 2022, the Company repurchased its common stock on the open market pursuant to the stock repurchase plan,
and made principal payments on contingent consideration promissory notes. During 2021, we raised substantial funds through the completion
of two registered direct offerings of our common stock.
55
Commitments:
We
had $13,454,245 of cash and cash equivalents and net positive working capital $15,733,652 as of June 30, 2022. Accounts receivable and
other receivables balances represented $4,965,309 of our net working capital at June 30, 2022. We believe we will be able to collect
our outstanding receivables on a timely basis and reduce the overall level during the balance of 2022, which could provide positive cash
flow to support our operations during 2022. Inventory represents $9,405,954 of our net working capital at June 30, 2022, and finished
goods represented $9,044,555 of total inventory at June 30, 2022. We are actively managing the level of inventory and our goal is to
reduce such level during the balance of 2022 by our sales activities, the increase of which should provide additional cash flow to help
support our operations during 2022.
Capital
Expenditures:
We
had the following material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2022:
Stock Repurchase Program
- On December 6, 2021, the board of directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s
outstanding common stock under the specified terms of a share repurchase program (the “Program”). During the three months
ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,849,952 shares of its common stock for $1,962,755, in accordance with the Program. Furthermore,
during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 3,725,986 shares of its common stock for $4,026,523, in accordance
with the Program.
On
June 30, 2022, the board of directors of the Company elected to terminate the Program, effective immediately. The Program began in December
2021, with the Company purchasing a total of 5,460,824 shares at a cost of $6,001,602 through June 30, 2022.
Lease commitments. Total
lease expense under the six operating leases was approximately $119,230 and $274,302, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,
respectively. The following sets forth the operating lease right of use assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022:

Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ,”
to our consolidated financial statements. While the selection and application of any accounting policy may involve some level of subjective
judgments and estimates, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to our financial statements,
potentially involve the most subjective judgments in their selection and application, and are the most susceptible to uncertainties and
changing conditions:
●
Revenue
Recognition / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts;
●
Allowance
for Excess and Obsolete Inventory;
●
Goodwill
and other intangible assets;
●
Warranty
Reserves;
●
Fair

Compensation Expense;
●
Fair

57
Revenue
Recognition / Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Revenue is recognized for the shipment of products or delivery of service when
all five of the following conditions are met:
(i)
Identify
the contract with the customer;
(ii)
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract;
(iii)
Determine
the transaction price;
(iv)
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
(v)
Recognize
revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
We
consider the terms and conditions of the contract and our customary business practices in identifying our contracts under ASC 606. We
determine we have a contract when the customer order is approved, we can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to
be transferred, we can identify the payment terms for the services, we have determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay
and the contract has commercial substance. At contract inception we evaluate whether the contract includes more than one performance
obligation. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors,
including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information pertaining
to the customer.
Performance
obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services and the products that will be transferred to the customer that
are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources
that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the
services and the products is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our performance obligations consist of (i)
products, (ii) professional services, and (iii) extended warranties.
The
transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to
the customer. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment it is probable that a significant future
reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component.
If
the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.
Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation
based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”).
Revenue
for our video solutions segment is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control
of the promised service to a customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the service is transferred to the customer, in an amount
that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for our services. We generate all our revenue from contracts with
customers.
Revenue
for our revenue cycle management segment is recorded on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to-end service fees.
These service fees are reported as revenue monthly upon completion of our performance obligation to provide the agreed upon services.
Revenue
for our ticketing segment is recorded on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether we are 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.
We
sell our 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. We act as the principal in these transactions as we own the ticket at the time of sale, therefore
we control 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.
58
We also act 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 we do not control the ticket prior to the transfer, we
act 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.
We
review all significant, unusual, or nonstandard shipments of product or delivery of services as a routine part of our accounting and
financial reporting process to determine compliance with these requirements. Extended warranties are offered on selected products, and
when a customer purchases an extended warranty, the associated proceeds are treated as contract liability and recognized over the term
of the extended warranty.
For
our video solutions segment, our principal customers are state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies, which historically have
been low risks for uncollectible accounts. However, we have commercial customers and international distributors that present a greater
risk for uncollectible accounts than such law enforcement customers and we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual
circumstances. Our historical bad debts have been negligible, with less than $258,000 charged off as uncollectible on cumulative revenues
of $248.0 million since we commenced deliveries during 2006.
For our ticketing segment, our
customers are mainly online visitors that pay at the time of the transaction, and we collect the service fees charged with the transaction,
thus leading to minimal risk for uncollectible accounts, to which we then consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual
circumstances. As we continue to learn more about the collectability related to this recent acquisition, we will track historical bad
debts and continue to assess appropriate reserves.
For
our revenue cycle management segment, our customers are mainly medium to large healthcare organizations that are charged monthly upon
the execution of our services. Being these customers are healthcare organizations with minimal risk for uncollectible accounts, we consider
a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. As we continue to learn more about the collectability related
to this recently added segment, we will track historical bad debts and continue to assess appropriate reserves.
Allowance
for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. We record valuation reserves on our inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory items.
The amount of the reserve is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions
about future demand and market conditions. On a quarterly basis, management performs an analysis of the underlying inventory to identify
reserves needed for excess and obsolescence. Management uses its best judgment to estimate appropriate reserves based on this analysis.
In addition, we adjust the carrying value of inventory if the current market value of that inventory is below its cost.

We
balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance to our customers against the risk
of inventory obsolescence due to changing technology and customer requirements. As reflected above, our inventory reserves represented
28.4% of the gross inventory balance at June 30, 2022, compared to 28.8% of the gross inventory balance at December 31, 2021. We had
$3,722,467 and $3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total
raw materials and component parts were $4,083,713 and $3,062,046 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, an increase of
$1,021,667 (33.4%). Finished goods balances were $9,044,555 and $10,512,579 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a decrease
of $1,468,024 (14.0%). The decrease in finished goods was primarily attributable to a reduction in ticketing inventory of $923,804 at
June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. The slight decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished
goods that had a reserve placed on them prior to sale. The remaining reserve for inventory obsolescence is generally provided for the
level of component parts of the older versions of our printed circuit boards and the phase out of our DVM-750, DVM-500 Plus and LaserAlly
legacy products. Additionally, the Company determined a reasonable reserve for inventory held at the ticket operating segment, in which
some inventory items sell below cost or go unsold, thus having to be fully written-off following the event date. We believe the reserves
are appropriate given our inventory levels at June 30, 2022.
If
actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management or there are significant engineering
changes to our products that are not anticipated and appropriately managed, additional inventory write-downs may be required in
excess of the inventory reserves already established.
Goodwill
and other intangible assets. When we acquire a business, we determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
on the date of acquisition, which may include a significant amount of intangible assets such as customer relationships, software and
content, as well as goodwill. When determining the fair values of the acquired intangible assets, we consider, among other factors, analyses
of historical financial performance and an estimate of the future performance of the acquired business. The fair values of the acquired
intangible assets are primarily calculated using an income approach that relies on discounted cash flows. This method starts with a forecast
of the expected future net cash flows for the asset and then adjusts the forecast to present value by applying a discount rate that reflects
the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. We consider this approach to be the most appropriate valuation technique because
the inherent value of an acquired intangible asset is its ability to generate future income. In a typical acquisition, we engage a third-party
valuation expert to assist us with the fair value analyses for acquired intangible assets.
Determining
the fair values of acquired intangible assets requires us to exercise significant judgment. We select reasonable estimates and assumptions
based on evaluating a number of factors, including, but not limited to, marketplace participants, consumer awareness and brand history.
Additionally, there are significant judgments inherent in discounted cash flows such as estimating the amount and timing of projected
future cash flows, the selection of discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates and contributory asset capital charges. Specifically,
the selected discount rates are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the underlying
acquired intangible assets.
Determining
an acquired intangible asset’s useful life also requires significant judgment and is based on evaluating a number of factors, including,
but not limited to, the expected use of the asset, historical client retention rates, consumer awareness and trade name history, as well
as any contractual provisions that could limit or extend an asset’s useful life.
The
Company’s goodwill is evaluated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, which requires goodwill to be assessed for impairment at
least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In
addition, an impairment evaluation of our amortizable intangible assets may also be performed if events or circumstances indicate potential
impairment. Among the factors that could trigger an impairment review are current operating results that do not align with our annual
plan or historical performance; changes in our strategic plans or the use of our assets; restructuring changes or other changes in our
business segments; competitive pressures and changes in the general economy or in the markets in which we operate; and a significant
decline in our stock price and our market capitalization relative to our net book value.
When
performing our annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill, we initially perform a qualitative analysis evaluating whether any
events or circumstances occurred or exist that provide evidence that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting
units is less than the related carrying amount. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our
reporting units is less than the related carrying amount, then no quantitative impairment test is performed. However, if the results
of our qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its respective
carrying amount, then we perform a two-step quantitative impairment test.
60
Evaluating
the recoverability of goodwill requires judgments and assumptions regarding future trends and events. As a result, both the precision
and reliability of our estimates are subject to uncertainty. Among the factors that we consider in our qualitative assessment are general
economic conditions and the competitive environment; actual and projected reporting unit financial performance; forward-looking business
measurements; and external market assessments. To determine the fair values of our reporting units for a quantitative analysis, we typically
utilize detailed financial projections, which include significant variables, such as projected rates of revenue growth, profitability
and cash flows, as well as assumptions regarding discount rates, the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and other data.
Our
most recent annual impairment test of goodwill was a qualitative analysis conducted as of December 31, 2021 that indicated no impairment.
Subsequent to completing our 2021 annual impairment test, no events or changes in circumstances were noted that required an interim goodwill
impairment test. Note 1 — Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 10 — Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provide additional information regarding the Company’s goodwill
and other intangible assets.
Warranty
Reserves. We generally provide up to a two-year parts and labor standard warranty on our products to our customers. Provisions
for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical
information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims. We actively study trends of claims and take action to improve product
quality and minimize claims. Our warranty reserves were decreased to $10,582 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $13,742 as of December 31,
2021 as we began to slow our warranty exposures through the roll-off of DVM-750 and DVM-800 units from warranty coverage. Standard warranty
exposure on the DVM-800 and DVM-250plus are the responsibility of the contract manufacturers which reduced our overall warranty exposure
as these are very popular products in our line. There is a risk that we will have higher warranty claim frequency rates and average cost
of claims than our history has indicated on our legacy mirror products on our new products for which we have limited experience. Actual
experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities in future periods.
Warrant
derivative liabilities. On January 14, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000
shares of Common Stock. The warrant terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company under certain circumstances
in the event of tender offers. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at
their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the consolidated
statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Furthermore, the Company revalues the fair value
of warrant derivative liability as of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned
to equity.
The
Company has utilized the following assumptions in its Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the estimated fair value of the
warrant derivative liabilities as of their date of issuance and as of June 30, 2022:

Stock-based
Compensation Expense . We grant stock options to our employees and directors and such benefits provided are share-based payment
awards which require us to make significant estimates related to determining the value of our share-based compensation. Our expected
stock-price volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock that are obtained from public data sources
and there were 25,000 stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
61
If
factors change and we develop different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ
significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing
models to estimate share-based compensation. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair
values of our share-based compensation. Certain share-based payment awards, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise
result in zero intrinsic value compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements.
Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated
on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined using
an established option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market
transaction. In addition, we account for forfeitures as they occur.
Accounting
for Income Taxes. Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates
and judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse
in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating
losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit.
As
required by authoritative guidance, we record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Authoritative guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that
all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of June 30, 2022, we have fully reserved all of our deferred tax
assets. Based on a review of our deferred tax assets and recent operating performance, we determined that our valuation allowance should
be decreased by $7,615,000 to a balance of $16,980,000 to fully reserve our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021. We determined that
it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022, because of the
overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until we determine that
we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we determine that the realization
of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation
allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related to deductions for
stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity.
As
required by authoritative guidance, we have performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance
with recognition standards established by the FASB, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken
in a filed tax return or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for
financial reporting purposes. We have no recorded liability as of June 30, 2022 representing uncertain tax positions.
We
have generated substantial deferred income tax assets related to our operations primarily from the charge to compensation expense taken
for stock options, certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. For us to realize the income tax benefit of
these assets, we must generate sufficient taxable income in future periods when such deductions are allowed for income tax purposes.
In some cases where deferred taxes were the result of compensation expense recognized on stock options, our ability to realize the income
tax benefit of these assets is also dependent on our share price increasing to a point where these options have intrinsic value at least
equal to the grant date fair value and are exercised. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is needed in connection with our deferred
income tax assets, we have evaluated our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to utilize the benefit of the
deferred income tax assets. We continue to evaluate our ability to use recorded deferred income tax asset balances. If we fail to generate
taxable income for financial reporting in future years, no additional tax benefit would be recognized for those losses, since we will
not have accumulated enough positive evidence to support our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Therefore,
we may be required to increase our valuation allowance in future periods should our assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable
income not be realized.

Inflation
and Seasonality
As inflation in the United States
and abroad has increased and become more prominent, inflationary pressures adversely affected all of the Company’s reporting segments’
gross margins during the first six months of fiscal year 2022, and are expected to persist for the remainder of fiscal year 2022 and beyond.
We do not believe that our Video Solutions and Revenue Cycle Management segments business is seasonal in nature; however, the Ticketing
Segment is expected to generate higher revenues during the second half of the calendar year than in the first half due to the increased
sporting events throughout the country during the second half of the calendar year in comparison to the first half.
