NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations : 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. (such merged entity, the “Predecessor Registrant”). On August 23, 2022 (the “ Effective Time ”), the Predecessor Registrant merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, DGLY Subsidiary Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Registrant ”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of August 23, 2022 (the “ Merger Agreement ”), between the Predecessor Registrant and the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving corporation in the merger (such transaction, the “ Merger ”). At the Effective Time, Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Registrant was renamed “Digital Ally, Inc.” and, by operation of law, succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the Predecessor Registrant immediately prior to the Merger. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, shareholder approval was not required in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each outstanding share of Predecessor Registrant’s common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “ Predecessor Common Stock ”) automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, of the Registrant (“ Registrant Common Stock ”), (ii) each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of Predecessor Common Stock converted into an option, right or warrant, as applicable, to acquire an equal number of shares of Registrant Common Stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants, and (iii) the directors and executive officers of the Predecessor Registrant were appointed as directors and executive officers, as applicable, of the Registrant, each to serve in the same capacity and for the same term as such person served with the Predecessor Registrant immediately before the Merger. The business of the Registrant, Digital Ally, Inc. (with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC, TicketSmarter, Inc., Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., Digital Connect, Inc., BirdVu Jets, Inc., Kustom 440, Inc., 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 Entertainment 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 Entertainment Segment acts 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 19. Spin-off: On December 8, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue a separation into two independent, publicly-traded companies to optimize investment and capital allocation, accelerate growth, and unlock shareholder value. Specifically, the Company plans to spin off (the “Spin-off”) its ticketing operating segment, Kustom Entertainment, Inc. (“Kustom”). Upon completion of the Spin-off, the Company’s stockholders will own equity in two focused and streamlined businesses. Digital Ally, Inc. will continue to be a provider of video solution technology for law enforcement agencies, commercial fleets, and situational event security solutions. Digital Ally will also continue to provide working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country through its revenue cycle management subsidiary. For the year ending December 31, 2022, these consolidated businesses generated approximately $ 37.0 million in annual revenues. We believe that Digital Ally, as a stand-alone entity, will be well-positioned to accelerate organic growth in its large and attractive end markets, benefit from favorable secular trends, and begin to apply discipline and focus throughout the company to enhance profitability and continue to drive growth, new product development and expansion. 7 As an independent company, we believe that Digital Ally, Inc. will have greater strategic focus and operational flexibility, while building on its recent momentum and emphasizing the improvement of its profit margins and profitability. Additionally, the Company expects to benefit from dedicated resources and management, with an attention to brand building, innovation, and extended opportunities domestically as well as internationally. As Digital Ally has continued to build its portfolio of subscriptions and customers that are already in place, we believe that we can continue to maintain stable sales through our deferred revenue model; however, there will be an equal expectation for growth and expansion across several high-growth adjacent markets. Upon completion of the Spin-off, Digital Ally, Inc. will be led by Brody J. Green, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer. The Company intends to continue to be listed on the NASDAQ under its current ticker symbol, “DGLY”. Kustom will be a multi-disciplinary entertainment company, anchored by a premier ticketing technology business, which we believe is poised to achieve substantial scaling opportunities, through its TicketSmarter, Inc. subsidiary, which offers unique primary and secondary ticketing products to the market. Additionally, Kustom’s offerings will include a distinctive event marketing and production company, with numerous customization options for events, festivals, and concerts, through its Kustom 440, Inc., subsidiary. For the year ending December 31, 2022, these standalone businesses achieved approximately $20.9 million in annual revenues. We believe that this business can achieve above-average growth by exploiting its relationships in the sporting and entertainment industries that are intended to support its primary ticketing-related opportunities, along with the expectation of the full deployment of the Kustom 440 brand and its line of service offerings. Kustom will be able to differentiate itself through its ability to provide event services of all sizes, ranging from corporate events to multi-day festivals. Furthermore, the ability to offer venue, ticketing, marketing, and production capabilities will make this company a unique and attractive option for many partners and investors. With the planned separation, TicketSmarter is expected to enhance its leadership position in the national secondary ticketing marketplace, while also building a stronger position in the primary ticketing market. Furthermore, as Kustom 440 was formed in mid-2022, the event marketing and production business will be fully able to execute and produce the planned events throughout 2023, as production and investments have already begun. Kustom will be led by Stanton E. Ross, who will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer. Kustom’s shares are expected to be listed on a national exchange under a ticker symbol to be determined and announced at a later date. The Company may also pursue an alternative disposition of Kustom instead of the Spin-Off. The Spin-Off or alternative transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023. Basis of Presentation : The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. 8 The balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Liquidity and Going Concern During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provided U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. Under this standard, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the Company’s financial statements were issued (May 15, 2023). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s obligations due before May 15, 2024. The Company has experienced net losses and cash outflows from operating activities since inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $ 6,105,818 , net cash used in operating activities of $ 1,216,876 , $ 70,645 used in investing activities and $ 615,045 provided by financing activities. The Company will have to restore positive operating cash flows and profitability over the next year and/or raise additional capital to fund its operational plans, meet its customary payment obligations and otherwise execute its business plan. There can be no assurance that it will be successful in restoring positive cash flows and profitability, or that it can raise additional financing when needed, and obtain it on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company. The Company has implemented an enhanced quality control program to detect and correct product issues before they result in significant rework expenditures affecting its gross margins and has seen progress in that regard. The Company has also implemented a marketing and advertisement reduction plan for its entertainment segment, which will focus on reducing and alleviating current obligations from its media marketing agreements and place a hold on entering into any new agreements. The Company believes that its quality control, cost-cutting initiatives, and new product introduction will eventually restore positive operating cash flows and profitability, although it can offer no assurances in this regard. Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. 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., Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., Digital Connect, Inc., BirdVu Jets, Inc., Kustom 440, Inc., 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. The Company formed TicketSmarter, Inc. on September 1, 2021, upon its acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, to facilitate its global entertainment operations. The Company formed Worldwide Reinsurance Ltd. in December 2021, which is a captive insurance company 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. The Company formed Digital Connect, Inc. and BirdVu Jets, Inc. for travel and transportation purposes in 2022. The company formed Kustom 440, Inc. in 2022 to create unique entertainment experiences directly for consumers. 9 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. 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 entertainment 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 customer contracts. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company has concluded that such contracts are with the distributor as in such cases the Company holds contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration for the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customers’ ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, it has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e. when the Company’s performance obligations are 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. 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. 10 Entertainment The Company reports entertainment 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 entertainment 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, and 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 three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $ 0.5 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: SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT LIABILITIES March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Additions/Reclass Recognized Revenue March 31, 2023 Contract liabilities, current $ 2,154,874 $ 562,809 $ 92,813 $ 2,624,870 Contract liabilities, non-current 5,818,082 868,211 370,646 6,315,647 $ 7,972,956 $ 1,431,020 $ 463,459 $ 8,940,517 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Additions/Reclass Recognized Revenue March 31, 2022 Contract liabilities, current $ 1,665,519 $ 280,375 $ 157,173 $ 1,788,721 Contract liabilities, non-current 2,687,786 897,438 363,687 3,221,537 $ 4,353,305 $ 1,177,813 $ 520,860 $ 5,010,258 Sales returns and allowances aggregated $ 116,642 and $ 118,027 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Obligations for estimated sales returns and allowances are recognized at the time of sales on an accrual basis. The accrual is determined based upon historical return rates adjusted for known changes in key variables affecting these return rates. 11 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, 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. SCHEDULE OF SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS March 31, 2023 Adjusted Cost Realized Gains Realized Losses Fair Value Demand deposits $ 339,933 $ — $ — $ 339,933 Short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less (Level 1) (1) : Money market funds 2,519,790 — — 2,519,790 $ 2,859,723 $ — $ — $ 2,859,723 December 31, 2022 Adjusted Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Demand deposits $ 897,745 $ — $ — $ 897,745 Short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less (Level 1) (1) : Money market funds 2,634,454 — — 2,634,454 $ 3,532,199 $ — $ — $ 3,532,199 The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the uninsured balance amounted to $ 2,021,428 and $ 2,495,189 , 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. 12 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 the market approach. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on multiples of comparable public companies and precedent transactions. Significant estimates in the market approach include: identifying similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment, and assessing comparable revenue and operating income multiples in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. 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 last assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of March 31, 2023 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. 13 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 Entertainment, each of which has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate expenses capture the Company’s corporate administrative activities and are also to be reported in the segment information. 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 represent the interest in subsidiaries held by our venture partner. The venture partner holds a noncontrolling interest 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 or loss 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. The adoption of this standard did not 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. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. 14 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. As such, we adopted ASC 326 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. NOTE 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: SCHEDULE OF INVENTORIES March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Raw material and component parts– video solutions segment $ 3,923,281 $ 4,509,165 Work-in-process– video solutions segment 11,665 3,164 Finished goods – video solutions segment 6,558,625 6,846,091 Finished goods – entertainment segment 836,615 970,527 Subtotal 11,330,186 12,328,947 Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory– video solutions segment ( 5,089,903 ) ( 5,230,261 ) Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory – entertainment segment ( 319,204 ) ( 259,280 ) Total inventories $ 5,921,079 $ 6,839,406 Finished goods inventory includes units held by potential customers and sales agents for test and evaluation purposes.

On May 12, 2020, the Company received $ 150,000 in loan funding from the SBA under the EIDL program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the recently enacted CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a secured promissory note, dated May 8, 2020, in the original principal amount of $ 150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the note issued under the EIDL program, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75 % per annum. The term of such note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under such note. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twenty-four months after the date of disbursement and total $ 731 per month thereafter. Such note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Company granted the secured party a continuing interest in and to any and all collateral, including but not limited to tangible and intangible personal property. 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 June 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 $ 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 a reduction 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. 16 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 recorded the contingent consideration promissory note at its estimated fair value of $ 350,000 at the acquisition date. Total principal payments, since inception, on this contingent consideration promissory note totaled $ 143,026 . The estimated fair value of the June Contingent Note at March 31, 2023 is $ 147,047 , representing a reduction in its estimated fair value of $ 29,409 as compared to its estimated fair value as of December 31, 2022. This reduction only relates to the principal payments made for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Therefore, the Company recorded no gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 .

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 a reduction 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 with subsequent changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management recorded the contingent consideration promissory note at its estimated fair value of $ 650,000 at the acquisition date. Total principal payments, since inception, on this contingent consideration promissory note totaled $ 357,779 .

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: SCHEDULE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON RECURRING BASIS Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total March 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Contingent consideration promissory notes and contingent consideration earn-out agreement — — $ 499,029 $ 499,029 Liabilities, fair value $ — $ — $ 499,029 $ 499,029 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Contingent consideration promissory notes and contingent consideration earn-out agreement — — $ 777,840 $ 777,840 Liabilities, fair value $ — $ — $ 777,840 $ 777,840 The following table represents the change in Level 3 tier value measurements for the three months ended March 31, 2023: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS CHANGE IN LEVEL 3 INPUTS Contingent Consideration Promissory Notes Balance, December 31, 2022 $ 777,840 Principal payments on contingent consideration promissory notes – Revenue Cycle Management Acquisitions ( 120,789 ) Change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes – Revenue Cycle Management Acquisitions ( 158,022 ) Balance, March 31, 2023 $ 499,029 19 NOTE 5.

INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 varied from the expected statutory rate due to the Company continuing to provide a 100 % valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company determined that it was appropriate to continue the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023, primarily because of the Company’s history of operating losses. The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years, and it continues to be in a three-year cumulative loss position at March 31, 2023. 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 is determined to continue to provide a 100 % valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize these assets. To the extent the Company determines that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. The Company has available to it approximately $ 113.3 million (based on its December 31, 2022 tax return) in net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income as of March 31, 2023.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 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. On May 31, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against Culp McAuley, Inc. (“defendant”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The lawsuit arises from the defendant’s multiple breaches of its obligations to the Company. The Company seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief based on certain conduct by the defendant. On July 18, 2022, the defendant filed its Answer to the Company’s Verified Complaint and included Counterclaims alleging breach of contract and seeking monetary damages. On August 8, 2022, the Company filed its Reply and Affirmative Defenses to the Counterclaims by, among other things, denying the allegations and any and all liability. We have not concluded that a material loss related to the allegations is probable, nor have we accrued a liability related to these claims. Although we believe a loss could be reasonably possible (as defined in ASC 450), we do not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to the potential damages given that the dispute is yet to enter the discovery process. We will continue to vigorously pursue these claims, and we continue to believe that we have valid grounds for recovery of the disputed deliverables. However, there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the dispute. 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. Notice of Delisting On July 7, 2022, the Company, received a written notification (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $ 1.00 per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “DGLY.” 24 Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until January 3, 2023 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the bid price of the Common Stock closes at or above $ 1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed. On February 23, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has cured its bid price deficiency and has fully regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

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 137,042 shares remained available for awards under the various Plans as of March 31, 2023.

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 39,162 shares of common stock at $ 52.00 to $60.00 per share as of March 31, 2023.

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 384,077 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 384,077 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 330,923 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 $ 65.00 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. SCHEDULE OF WARRANT MODIFICATION Original terms at August 19, 2021 Modified terms at August 19, 2021 Volatility - range 109.3 % 104.7 % Risk-free rate 0.78 % 0.78 % Dividend 0 % 0 % Remaining contractual term 4.5 years 5.1 years Exercise price $ 65.00 $ 65.00 Common stock issuable under the warrants 715,000 715,000 On August 23, 2022, the Company entered into Warrant Exchange Agreements (the “Warrant Exchange Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of 303,750 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation by the Investors of the January Warrants, the Exchange Warrants and the Replacement Originals Warrants. On the date of the exchange, the Company calculated the fair value of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, attributing that value to common stock and additional paid in capital. The remaining value of the warrant derivative liability was attributed to an income from change in fair market value of warrant derivative liabilities and gain on extinguishment of warrant derivative liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations. On the date of the Warrant Exchange Agreement, using the Black-Scholes method, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $ 8.1 million, compared to $ 9.3 million at June 30, 2022, resulting in income from change in fair market value of warrant derivative liabilities of $ 1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Further, the value of the issued shares of Common Stock was $ 4.5 million, applied to additional paid in capital, resulting in a gain on the extinguishment of warrant derivative liabilities of $ 3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Terms at August 23, 2022 Volatility - range 103.7 % Risk-free rate 3.17 - 3.36 % Dividend 0 % Remaining contractual term 3.4 - 4.1 years Exercise price $ 65.00 Common stock issuable under the warrants 1,215,000 27 Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price is 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 following table summarizes information about shares issuable under warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2023: SUMMARY OF WARRANT ACTIVITY Warrants Weighted average exercise price Vested Balance, January 1, 2023 67,459 $ 60.26 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited/cancelled ( 28,333 ) ( 67.20 ) Vested Balance, March 31, 2023 39,126 $ 55.24 The total intrinsic value of all outstanding warrants aggregated $- 0 - as of March 31, 2023, and the weighted average remaining term is four months .

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY 2023 Issuance of Restricted Common Stock On January 10, 2023, the board of directors approved the grant of 22,500 shares of common stock to officers of the Company. Such shares will generally vest over a period of one to five years on their respective anniversary dates in January through January 2028, provided that each grantee remains an officer or employee on such dates. Additionally, the board of directors approved the grant of 12,500 restricted common shares to certain new employees of the Company. Such shares will generally vest over a period of one to two years on their respective anniversary dates in January through January 2025, provided that each grantee remains an employee of the company on such dates. Reverse Stock Split On February 6, 2023, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of our common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of time of filing. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of our Common Stock that would have otherwise resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole number. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, our board approved appropriate and proportional adjustments to all outstanding securities or other rights convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock, including, without limitation, all preferred stock, warrants, options, and other equity compensation rights. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout our consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as if the split occurred as of the earliest period presented. The par value per share of our common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Noncontrolling Interests 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/loss of Nobility Healthcare which is reflected in the statement of (income) loss as “net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”. We reported net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary of ($ 126,239 ) and $ 98,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 28 NOTE 16. NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding and loss per share outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: SCHEDULE OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING AND LOSS PER SHARE OUTSTANDING Three months ended March 31, 2023 2022 Numerator for basic and diluted income (loss) per share – Net income (loss) $ ( 6,105,818 ) $ ( 6,600,148 ) Denominator for basic income (loss) per share – weighted average shares outstanding 2,751,662 2,546,552 Dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding — — Denominator for diluted income (loss) per share – adjusted weighted average shares outstanding 2,751,662 2,546,552 Net income (loss) per share: Basic $ ( 2.22 ) $ ( 2.59 ) Diluted $ ( 2.22 ) $ ( 2.59 ) Basic income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share. NOTE 17. DIGITAL ALLY HEALTHCARE VENTURE On June 4, 2021, Digital Ally Healthcare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a venture with Nobility LLC (“Nobility”), an eight-year-old revenue cycle management (“RCM”) company servicing the medical industry, to form Nobility Healthcare, LLC (“Nobility Healthcare”). Digital Ally Healthcare is capitalizing the venture with $ 13.5 million to support the venture’s business strategy to make acquisitions of RCM companies. Digital Ally Healthcare owns 51% of the venture that entitles it to 51% of the distributable cash as defined in the venture’s operating agreement plus a cumulative preferred return of 10% per annum on its invested capital. Nobility will receive a management fee and 49% of the distributable cash, subordinated to Digital Ally Healthcare’s preferred return . The venture comprises the Company’s revenue cycle management segment. On June 30, 2021, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment completed the acquisition of a private medical billing company (the “Healthcare Acquisition”). In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment agreed to a non-refundable initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $ 850,000 . 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 promissory 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 and, 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. 29 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 preliminary and final estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Healthcare Acquisition were as follows: SCHEDULE OF PRELIMINARY FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ACQUISITION Purchase price allocation Description Preliminary as allocated June 30, 2021 Final as allocated June 30, 2022 Assets acquired: Tangible assets acquired, consisting of acquired cash, accounts receivable and right of use asset $ 174,351 $ 174,351 Intangible assets acquired – Client Agreements $ 174,351 $ 174,351 Intangible assets acquired – client agreements — 457,079 Goodwill 1,125,000 667,921 Liabilities assumed consisting of a promissory note issued by the selling shareholders which was paid off at closing, net of lease liability assumed 77,158 77,158 Liabilities assumed pursuant to stock purchase agreement 77,158 77,158 Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed $ 1,376,509 $ 1,376,509 Consideration: Cash paid at Healthcare Acquisition date $ 1,026,509 $ 1,026,509 Contingent consideration earn-out agreement 350,000 350,000 Total Healthcare Acquisition purchase price $ 1,376,509 $ 1,376,509 The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives in years as of the date of acquisition: SCHEDULE OF IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS ACQUIRED AND THEIR ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES Cost Amortization through March 31, 2023 Estimated useful life Identifiable intangible assets: Client agreements $ 457,079 $ 79,989 10 years For the period from the date of the Healthcare Acquisition to June 30, 2022, the Company adjusted its preliminary fair value estimates and estimated useful lives based upon information obtained through June 30, 2022, which resulted in adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. These adjustments primarily related to estimated identifiable intangible asset fair values of client agreements and 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 3, “Debt Obligations”. 30 On August 31, 2021, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment completed the acquisition of another private medical billing company (the “Medical Billing Acquisition”). In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, Nobility Healthcare agreed to a non-refundable initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $ 2,270,000 . In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment agreed to issue a contingent promissory note to the stockholders of the Medical Billing Acquisition in the principal amount of $ 650,000 that is subject to an earn-out adjustment. 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 $ 2,920,000 . Total acquisition related costs aggregated $ 5,602 , 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.

The change in fair value of the contingent consideration is more fully described in Note 3, “Debt Obligations”. On January 1, 2022, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment completed the acquisition of another private medical billing company (the “Medical Billing Acquisition”). In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, Nobility Healthcare agreed to a non-refundable initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $ 1,153,626 . In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment agreed to issue a contingent promissory note to the stockholders of the Medical Billing Acquisition in the principal amount of $ 750,000 that is subject to an earn-out adjustment. 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 $ 1,903,626 . Total acquisition related costs aggregated $ 7,996 , 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.

The change in fair value of the contingent consideration is more fully described in Note 3, “Debt Obligations”. 32 On February 1, 2022, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment completed an asset acquisition from another private medical billing company (the “Medical Billing Asset Acquisition”). In accordance with the asset purchase agreement, Nobility Healthcare agreed to a non-refundable initial payment (the “Initial Payment Amount”) of $ 230,000 . In addition to the Initial Payment Amount, the Company’s revenue cycle management segment agreed to issue a contingent promissory note to the stockholders of the Medical Billing Asset Acquisition in the principal amount of $ 105,000 that is subject to an earn-out adjustment.

NOTE 18. 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”) (such acquisitions, collectively, the “TicketSmarter Acquisition”). TicketSmarter, Inc. comprises the Company’s entertainment 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. 33 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 the TicketSmarter Acquisition. The Company retained the services of an independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of these identifiable intangible assets. The Company will continue to evaluate the fair value of the identified intangible assets. The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the TicketSmarter Acquisition were as follows: SCHEDULE OF PARLIAMENT AND FINAL ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED ACQUISITION As allocated As allocated Preliminary purchase price allocation As allocated As allocated Description September 30, 2021 December 31, 2021 Assets acquired: Tangible assets acquired, including $ 51,432 of cash acquired $ 7,139,930 $ 5,748,291 Identifiable intangible assets acquired — 6,800,000 Goodwill 11,839,308 5,886,547 Liabilities assumed ( 5,128,964 ) ( 5,128,964 ) Liabilities assumed pursuant to stock purchase agreement ( 5,128,964 ) ( 5,128,964 ) Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed $ 13,850,274 $ 13,305,874 Consideration: Cash paid at TicketSmarter Acquisition date $ 8,413,240 $ 8,413,240 Common stock issued as consideration for TicketSmarter Acquisition at date of acquisition 990,360 990,360 Contingent consideration earn-out agreement 4,244,400 3,700,000 Cash paid at closing to escrow amount 500,000 500,000 Cash retained from escrow amount pursuant to settlement of working capital target ( 297,726 ) ( 297,726 ) Total TicketSmarter Acquisition purchase price $ 13,850,274 $ 13,305,874 The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives in years as of the date of acquisition: SCHEDULE OF COMPONENTS OF IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS ACCRUED AND ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES Cost Amortization through March 31, 2023 Estimated useful life Identifiable intangible assets: Trademarks $ 600,000 $ — indefinite Sponsorship agreement network 5,600,000 1,773,333 5 years Search engine optimization/content 600,000 237,500 4 years $ 6,800,000 $ 2,010,833 34 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. There were no adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price during the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 3, “Debt Obligations”. NOTE 19. 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 Entertainment, 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 Entertainment Segment acts 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. 35 Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable business segments is provided for the indicated periods and as of March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022: SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT REPORTING 2023 2022 Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Net Revenues: Video Solutions $ 1,899,364 $ 2,010,049 Revenue Cycle Management 1,781,590 1,903,957 Entertainment 4,016,236 6,380,775 Total Net Revenues $ 7,697,190 $ 10,294,781 Gross Profit: Video Solutions $ 534,195 $ 268,431 Revenue Cycle Management 775,934 697,169 Entertainment 234,663 974,019 Total Gross Profit $ 1,544,792 $ 1,939,619 Operating Income (loss): Video Solutions $ ( 1,963,186 ) $ ( 1,658,144 ) Revenue Cycle Management 103,765 ( 128,518 ) Entertainment ( 1,233,006 ) ( 1,445,847 ) Corporate ( 3,080,379 ) ( 3,570,829 ) Total Operating Income (Loss) $ ( 6,172,806 ) $ ( 6,803,338 ) Depreciation and Amortization: Video Solutions $ 198,122 $ 174,066 Revenue Cycle Management 25,507 146 Entertainment 319,481 319,183 Total Depreciation and Amortization $ 543,110 $ 493,395 March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Assets (net of eliminations): Video Solutions $ 30,802,197 $ 28,509,706 Revenue Cycle Management 2,720,079 2,201,570 Entertainment 8,741,754 11,190,491 Corporate 13,179,214 14,766,295 Total Identifiable Assets $ 55,443,244 $ 56,668,062 The segments recorded noncash items effecting the gross profit and operating income (loss) through the established inventory reserves based on estimates of excess and/or obsolete current and non-current inventory.

We reported a net loss of $5,979,579 on revenues of $7,697,190 for first quarter of 2023. 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. 41 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 Results of Operations Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections is an analysis of our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, represented as a percentage of total revenues for each such quarter: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Revenue 100 % 100 % Cost of revenue 80 % 81 % Gross profit 20 % 19 % Selling, general and administrative expenses: Research and development expense 12 % 5 % Selling, advertising and promotional expense 24 % 27 % General and administrative expense 64 % 53 % Total selling, general and administrative expenses 100 % 85 % Operating loss (80 )% (66 )% Change in fair value of short-term investments — % (1 )% Change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes 2 % (1 )% Change in fair value of derivative liabilities — % 1 % Other income and interest income (expense), net — % 1 % Income (loss) before income tax benefit (78 )% (65 )% Income tax (provision) — % — % Net income/(loss) (78 )% (65 )% Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary (2 )% 1 % Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (80 )% (64 )% Net income/(loss) per share information: Basic $ (2.22 ) $ (2.59 ) Diluted $ (2.22 ) $ (2.59 ) 42 Revenues Revenues by Type and by Operating Segment Our operating segments generate two types of revenues: Product revenues primarily includes 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 entertainment operating segment that have been purchased or received through our sponsorships and partnerships and held in inventory by our entertainment segment until their sale. Service and other revenues consist of cloud and warranty services revenues from our subscription plan and storage offerings of our video solutions segment. Our entertainment 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 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 dollar amount of medical billings collected by the customer. Our entertainment operating segment sells our products and services to customers in the following manner: ● Our entertainment operating segment generates product revenues from the sale of tickets directly to consumers for a particular event that the entertainment 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 to 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. 43 Product revenues by operating segment is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Product Revenues: Video Solutions $ 1,193,021 $ 1,336,230 Revenue Cycle Management — — Entertainment 1,260,789 1,073,830 Total Product Revenues $ 2,453,810 $ 2,410,060 Product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $2,453,810 and $2,410,060 respectively, an increase of $43,750 (2%), due to the following factors: ● Revenues generated by the new entertainment operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter. The new entertainment operating segment generated $1,260,789 in product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1,073,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 $1,193,021 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $1,336,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In general, our video solutions operating segment has experienced pressure on its product revenues as our in-car and body-worn systems are facing increased competition because our competitors have released new products with advanced features. Additionally, our law enforcement revenues declined compared to the same period in 2022 due to price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. ● Our video solutions operating segment management has continued to focus on migrating 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 a portion of 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 gained some traction, resulting in decreased product revenues and increasing our service revenues. We expect this program to continue to hold traction, resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years. Service and other revenues by operating segment is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Service and Other Revenues: Video Solutions $ 706,343 $ 673,819 Revenue Cycle Management 1,781,590 1,903,957 Entertainment 2,755,447 5,306,945 Total Service and Other Revenues $ 5,243,380 $ 7,884,721 44 Service and other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $5,243,380 and $7,884,721, respectively, a decrease of $2,641,341 (33%), due to the following factors: ● Cloud revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $422,823 and $270,925 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $151,898 (56%). 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 March 31, 2023. We expect this trend to continue throughout 2023 as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base. ● Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services were $211,847 and $199,491 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $12,356 (6%). This correlates with the increase in sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in an increase in their associated extended warranty. ● Our entertainment operating segment generated service revenues totaling $2,755,447 and $5,306,945 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $2,551,498 (48%). 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 entertainment operating segment to continue to present a strong revenue outlook moving forward. ● Our revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $1,781,590 and $1,903,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $122,367 (6%).

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 March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $7,697,190 and $10,294,781, respectively, a decrease of $2,597,591 (25%), due to the reasons noted above.

Cost of products sold by operating segment is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Cost of Product Revenues: Video Solutions $ 1,037,594 $ 1,477,715 Revenue Cycle Management — — Entertainment 1,263,506 1,344,336 Total Cost of Product Revenues $ 2,301,100 $ 2,822,051 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 March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, the Video Solutions Segment recorded valuation allowances for its older product lines and a portion of its Shield products during the first quarter of 2023. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment decreased to 87% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 111% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 45 The decrease in entertainment operating segment cost of product sold directly correlates to the decrease in product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022, resulting in cost of product revenue of $1,263,506 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1,344,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the entertainment segment was 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 125% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We recorded $5,409,107 and $5,489,541 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Total raw materials, component parts, and work-in-progress were $3,934,946 and $4,512,329 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, a decrease of $577,383 (13%). Finished goods balances were $7,395,240 and $7,816,618 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, a decrease of $421,378 (5%) which was attributable to a decrease in finished goods from our entertainment segment. The small decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods and movement of excess inventory, offset by the increase in reserve at the entertainment segment. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels as of March 31, 2023. Cost of Service Revenue Overall cost of service revenue sold for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was $3,851,298 and $5,533,111, respectively, a decrease of $1,681,813 (30%). Overall cost of goods sold for services as a percentage of service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 were 73% and 70%, respectively. Cost of service revenues by operating shipment is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Cost of Service Revenues: Video Solutions $ 327,575 $ 263,903 Revenue Cycle Management 1,005,656 1,206,787 Entertainment 2,518,067 4,062,421 Total Cost of Service Revenues $ 3,851,298 $ 5,533,111 The increase in cost of service revenues for our video solutions segment is commensurate with the increase in service revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the revenue cycle management operating segment was 56% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 63% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in entertainment operating segment cost of service revenues is commensurate with the decrease in service revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the entertainment segment was 91% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 77% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 46 Gross Profit Overall gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1,544,792 and $1,939,619, respectively, a decrease of $394,827 (20%). Gross profit by operating segment was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Gross Profit: Video Solutions $ 534,195 $ 268,431 Revenue Cycle Management 775,934 697,169 Entertainment 234,663 974,019 Total Gross Profit $ 1,544,792 $ 1,939,619 The overall decrease is attributable to the decrease in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a decrease in the overall cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 80% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 81% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 entertainment operating segments together with our video solutions operating segment and its expected margins from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink, FirstVu Pro, FirstVu II, Shield TM disinfectants and our cloud evidence storage and management offering, provided that they gain traction in the marketplace. 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 $7,717,598 and $8,742,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $1,025,359 (12%). The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in new sponsorships being entered into by the Company. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 85% in the same period in 2022. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2023 2022 Research and development expense $ 934,939 $ 498,000 Selling, advertising and promotional expense 1,847,489 2,779,404 General and administrative expense 4,935,170 5,465,553 Total $ 7,717,598 $ 8,742,957 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 $934,939 and $498,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $436,939 (88%). 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 EVO Fleet 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. 47 Selling, advertising and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $1,847,489 and $2,779,404 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $931,915 (34%). Promotional and advertising expenses represent the primary component of these costs and totaled $1,462,541 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2,389,063 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $926,522 (39%). The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in new sponsorships being entered into by the Company. Additionally, TicketSmarter remains active in sponsorship and advertising, as it continues to build its brand and gain recognition. General and administrative expense . General and administrative expenses totaled $4,935,170 and $5,465,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $530,383 (10%). The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 is primarily attributable to a decrease in administrative salaries, as payroll begins to adjust from the new acquisitions completed by the Company. General and administrative expenses also decreased due to a decline in rent expenses, and legal and professional expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Operating Loss For the reasons stated above, our operating loss was $6,172,806 and $6,803,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $630,532 (9%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues increased to 80% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 66% in the same period in 2022. Interest Income Interest income decreased to $15,477 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $71,362 in the same period of 2022, which reflects our change in cash and cash equivalent levels in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The Company held significant cash and cash equivalents throughout the first quarter of 2022, 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 expenses of $5,664 and $17,009 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease is attributable to a reduction in the contingent earn-out notes associated with the four Nobility Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $499,029 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 $84,818 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Such short-term investments were 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 The Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of contingent consideration promissory notes of $158,021 compared to a loss of $56,050 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This is in connection with the four acquisitions made by our revenue cycle management segment. 48 Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 2,127,500 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. There was no change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, and the change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022, totaled $148,171 which was recognized as a gain in the first quarter of 2022. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of December 31, 2022, and as of March 31, 2023, to be $-0- and $-0-, respectively. Loss before Income Tax Benefit As a result of the above results of operations, we reported a loss before income tax benefit of $5,979,579 and $6,698,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $718,663 (11%). Income Tax Benefit We did not record an income tax expense related to our income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to our overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023. We had approximately $113.3 million of net operating loss carryforwards and $1.8 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of March 31, 2023 available to offset future net taxable income. Net Loss As a result of the above results of operations, we reported a net loss of $5,979,579 and $6,698,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $718,663 (11%). Net Income/(Loss) 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/(loss) of Nobility Healthcare which is reflected in the statement of income (loss) as “net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”. We reported net income/(loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary of $126,239 and ($98,094) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders As a result of the above, we reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6,105,818 and $6,600,148 for the years three months March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $494,330 (7%). Basic and Diluted Loss per Share The basic and diluted loss per share was $2.22 and $2.59 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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. 49 Liquidity and Capital Resources Overall: Management’s Liquidity Plan. We have experienced net losses and cash outflows from operating activities since inception. Based upon our current operating forecast, we anticipate that we will need to restore positive operating cash flows and/or raise additional capital in the short-term to fund operations, meet our customary payment obligations and otherwise execute our business plan over the next 12 months. We are continuously in discussions to raise additional capital, which may include a variety of equity and debt instruments; however, there can be no assurance that our capital raising initiatives will be successful. Our recurring losses and level of cash used in operations, along with uncertainties concerning our ability to raise additional capital, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Cash, cash equivalents: As of March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance of $2,859,723, a decrease from a balance of $3,532,199 at December 31, 2022. Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections are the main elements of the $672,476 net decrease in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2023: ● Operating activities : $1,216,876 of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,216,876 and $6,055,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $4,838,796. The improvement is attributable to the non-cash gain attributable to the change in value of the warrant derivative liability no longer being applicable to 2023, as well as the decline in the usage of cash to increase accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other operating assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. ● Investing activities : $70,645 of net cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $70,645 and $3,195,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we made capital expenditures for: (i) building improvements of the newly purchased office and warehouse building; and (ii) patent applications on our proprietary technology utilized in our new products and included in intangible assets. ● Financing activities : $615,045 of net cash provided by financing activities. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $615,045 and ($2,195,658) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the first three months of 2023, we most notably made principal payments on contingent consideration promissory notes, received a Commercial Extension of Credit for our Entertainment Segment and made principal payments on that extension of credit. During the first three months of 2022 the Company repurchased its common stock on the open market pursuant to the stock repurchase plan, as well as principal payments on contingent consideration promissory notes. Commitments: We had $2,859,723 of cash and cash equivalents and net positive working capital $3,937,426 as of March 31, 2023. Accounts receivable and other receivables balances represented $4,791,301 of our net working capital at March 31, 2023. We intend to collect our outstanding receivables on a timely basis and reduce the overall level during 2023, which would help to provide positive cash flow to support our operations during 2023. Inventory represents $5,921,079 of our net working capital at March 31, 2023. We are actively managing the level of inventory and our goal is to reduce such level during the balance of 2023 by our sales activities, the increase of which should provide additional cash flow to help support our operations during 2023. 50 Capital Expenditures: We had the following material commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 2023: Lease commitments. The following sets forth the operating lease right of use assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2023: The following sets forth the operating lease right of use assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2023: Assets: Operating lease right of use assets $ 1,189,053 Liabilities: Operating lease obligations-current portion $ 287,520 Operating lease obligations-less current portion 969,728 Total operating lease obligations $ 1,257,248 The components of lease expense were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2023: Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 142,402 Following are the minimum lease payments for each year and in total: Year ending December 31: 2023 (April 1, to December 31, 2023) $ 291,559 2024 336,992 2025 290,417 2026 271,868 Thereafter 334,651 Total undiscounted minimum future lease payments 1,525,487 Imputed interest (268,239 ) Total operating lease liability $ 1,257,248 Debt obligations – Outstanding debt obligations comprises the following: March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Economic injury disaster loan (EIDL) $ 150,000 $ 150,000 Contingent consideration promissory note – Nobility Healthcare Division Acquisition 324,129 388,955 Contingent consideration promissory note – Nobility Healthcare Division Acquisition 147,047 176,456 Contingent consideration promissory note – Nobility Healthcare Division Acquisition 6,926 208,083 Contingent consideration promissory note – Nobility Healthcare Division Acquisition 20,928 4,346 Commercial Extension of Credit – Entertainment Segment 708,857 — Debt obligations 1,357,887 927,840 Less: current maturities of debt obligations 1,102,943 485,373 Debt obligations, long-term $ 254,944 $ 442,467 51 Debt obligations mature as follows as of March 31, 2023: March 31, 2023 2023 (April 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023) $ 1,005,718 2024 207,673 2025 3,412 2026 3,542 2027 3,677 2028 and thereafter 133,865 Total $ 1,357,887 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 value of warrant derivative liabilities; ● Stock-based Compensation Expense; ● Fair value of warrants; ● Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; and ● Accounting for Income Taxes. ● Redeemable Preferred Stock. 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. 52 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 entertainment 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. 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 entertainment 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. 53 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 entertainment 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. Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Raw material and component parts– video solutions segment $ 3,923,281 $ 4,509,165 Work-in-process– video solutions segment 11,665 3,164 Finished goods – video solutions segment 6,558,625 6,846,091 Finished goods – entertainment segment 836,615 970,527 Subtotal 11,330,186 12,328,947 Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory– video solutions segment (5,089,903 ) (5,230,261 ) Reserve for excess and obsolete inventory – entertainment segment (319,204 ) (259,280 ) Total inventories $ 5,921,079 $ 6,839,406 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 48% of the gross inventory balance at March 31, 2023, compared to 45% of the gross inventory balance at December 31, 2022. We had $5,409,107 and $5,489,541 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Total raw materials, component parts, and work-in-process were $3,934,946 and $4,512,329 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, a decrease of $577,383 (13%). Finished goods balances were $7,395,240 and $7,816,618 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, a decrease of $421,378 (5%). The small decrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to the reduction in finished goods and movement of excess inventory. 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 as of March 31, 2023. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management or significant engineering changes to our products that are not anticipated and appropriately managed, additional inventory write-downs may be required in excess of the inventory reserves already established. 54 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. 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, 2022 that indicated no impairment. Subsequent to completing our 2022 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. 55 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 increased to $19,261 as of March 31, 2023 compared to $15,694 as of December 31, 2022 due to newer products gaining a long history of claims to consider, which was slightly offset as we begin to slow our warranty exposures through the roll-off of DVM-750 and DVM-800 units from warranty coverage. Standard warranty exposure on the DVM-800 and DVM-250plus are the responsibility of the contract manufacturers which reduced our overall warranty exposure as these are very popular products in our line. There is a risk that we will have higher warranty claim frequency rates and average cost of claims than our history has indicated on our legacy mirror products on our new products for which we have limited experience. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities in future periods. Stock-based Compensation Expense . We grant stock options to our employees and directors and such benefits provided are share-based payment awards which require us to make significant estimates related to determining the value of our share-based compensation. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock that are obtained from public data sources and there were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023, 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 increased by $17,220,000 to a balance of $34,200,000 to fully reserve our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2022. We determined that it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023 representing uncertain tax positions. 56 We have generated substantial deferred income tax assets related to our operations primarily from the charge to compensation expense taken for stock options, certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. For us to realize the income tax benefit of these assets, we must generate sufficient taxable income in future periods when such deductions are allowed for income tax purposes. In some cases where deferred taxes were the result of compensation expense recognized on stock options, our ability to realize the income tax benefit of these assets is also dependent on our share price increasing to a point where these options have intrinsic value at least equal to the grant date fair value and are exercised. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is needed in connection with our deferred income tax assets, we have evaluated our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to utilize the benefit of the deferred income tax assets. We continue to evaluate our ability to use recorded deferred income tax asset balances. If we fail to generate taxable income for financial reporting in future years, no additional tax benefit would be recognized for those losses, since we will not have accumulated enough positive evidence to support our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Therefore, we may be required to increase our valuation allowance in future periods should our assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income not be realized. Inflation and Seasonality Inflation has not materially affected us during the past fiscal year. We do not believe that our Video Solutions and Revenue Cycle Management segments business is seasonal in nature, however; the Entertainment Segment is expected to generate higher revenues during the second half of the calendar year than in the first half. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Not Applicable. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of such disclosure controls and procedures for this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Report was recorded, processed, summarized and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate and within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. As part of our plan to remediate our controls which were not effective, we are performing a full review of our internal control procedures. We have implemented, and plan to continue to implement, new controls and new processes. We have hired and plan to continue to hire additional qualified personnel and establish more robust processes to support our internal control over financial reporting, including clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The Company anticipates time being required to complete the implementation and to assess and ensure the sustainability of these controls. The effectiveness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. 57 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
