through patents and to protect our proprietary technology and information, such as trade secrets, through other similar means; (18) our

Current Trends and Recent Developments for
the Company
Reverse Stock Split
On May 6, 2025, the Company,
acting pursuant to authority received at an annual meeting of its stockholders on December 17, 2024, filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Nevada a certificate of amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to its articles of incorporation, as amended (the
“Articles of Incorporation”), which effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”)
of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant
to the Charter Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on May 6, 2025. As a result of the Reverse
Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of Common Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Common Stock. The Common Stock began trading
on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on May 7, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect
the total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock, that the Company is authorized to issue, which remain as set
forth pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock
Split. Stockholders who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock were automatically entitled to receive an
additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share, at a participant level. The Reverse Stock Split also
had a proportionate effect on all other options and warrants of the Company outstanding as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock
Split.
On May 22, 2025, the Company,
acting pursuant to authority received at a special meeting of its stockholders on May 6, 2025, filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada a certificate of amendment (the “May 22, 2025 Charter Amendment”) to its articles of incorporation, as
amended, to effect a one (1)-for-one hundred (100) share reverse split (the “May 22, 2025 Reverse Stock Split”) of all of
the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Pursuant to the May 22, 2025 Charter Amendment, the
Reverse Stock Split became effective at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2025. As a result of the May 22, 2025 Reverse Stock Split, every
one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Common Stock. The Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted
basis on Nasdaq effective with the open of the market on Friday, May 23, 2025. The May 22, 2025 Reverse Stock Split did not affect the
total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock, that the Company is authorized to issue, which remain as set forth
pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the May 22, 2025 Reverse
Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock were automatically entitled to receive
an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share, at a participant level. The May 22, 2025 Reverse
Stock Split also had a proportionate effect on all other options and warrants of the Company outstanding as of the effective date of the
May 22, 2025 Reverse Stock Split. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements and other financial information in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the May 22, 2025 Reverse Stock Split
as if the split occurred as of the earliest period presented. The par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock was not affected
by the May 22, 2025 Reverse Stock Split.
Nasdaq Notifications
As previously disclosed, on
December 20, 2024, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the bid price of its listed securities had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive
business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until June 18, 2025, to regain
compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
As previously disclosed, on
January 2, 2025, the Staff notified the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies
listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Stockholders’
Equity Requirement”). The Company reported stockholders’ equity (deficit) of ($2,448,310) in its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and, as a result, did not satisfy the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement pursuant to
Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
As previously disclosed, on
March 6, 2025, the Company received notice (the “March 6 Letter”) from the Staff that the Staff had determined that as of
March 5, 2025, the Company’s securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days triggering application
of Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) which states in part: if during any compliance period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), a company’s
security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications Department shall issue
a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 with respect to that security (the “Low Priced Stocks Rule”).
The Company timely requested
a hearing before the Panel to appeal the March 6 Letter and to address all outstanding matters, including compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement, the Low-Priced Stocks Rule and the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. While the appeal process was pending, the suspension of trading of the Company’s Common Stock,
was stayed and the Common Stock continued to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes, and the Panel
issues a written decision. The Company held its hearing with the Panel as scheduled on April 17, 2025.
43
On May 1, 2025, the Panel rendered its
decision which granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Exchange. Such decision is subject to the
Company meeting and maintaining the following conditions:
●
On or before May 2, 2025, the Company shall file Form 10-K for 2024 in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
●
On or before May 20, 2025, the Company must file a public disclosure describing any transactions undertaken by the Company to increase its equity and providing an indication of its equity following those transactions.
●
In addition, on or before May 20, 2025, the Company must provide the Panel with an update on its fundraising plans, and updated income projections for the next 12 months, with all underlying assumptions clearly stated.
●
On or before June 6, 2025, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
●
If, prior to September 2, 2025, the Company becomes non-compliant with any Listing Rule, the Company will be delisted.
The Company has worked diligently to regain and maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Stockholders’ Equity
Requirement as promptly as possible. In that regard, management believes that it has achieved compliance with the
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as reported in the accompanying Statement of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) as of June
30, 2025. Furthermore, management believes that it has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to June 6,
2025, as required by the Panel. Management believes that it has met all other requirements as requested by the Panel. There are no
assurances however, that the Company will be able to meet and maintain all such conditions required by the Panel.
Segment Overview
Video Solutions Operating
Segment – Within our video solutions operating segment we supply technology-based products utilizing our portable digital video
and audio recording capabilities for the law enforcement and security industries and for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets.
We can integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create positive solutions to
our customers’ requests. Our products include: the EVO-HD, DVM-800 and DVM-800 Lite, which are in-car digital video systems for
law enforcement and commercial markets; the FirstVU body-worn camera line, consisting of the FirstVu Pro, FirstVu, and the FirstVU HD;
our patented and revolutionary VuLink product integrates our body-worn cameras with our in-car systems by providing hands-free automatic
activation for both law enforcement and commercial markets; EVO Web Portal, which is our cloud-based evidence management system for Law
enforcement and commercial market; the EVO Fleet, FLT-250, DVM-250, and DVM-250 Plus, which are our commercial line of digital video products
that serve as “event recorders” for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets; and FleetVu and VuLink, which are our cloud-based
evidence management systems. We further diversified and broadened our product offerings in 2020, by introducing two new lines of branded
products: (1) the ThermoVu™ which is a line of self-contained temperature monitoring stations that provides alerts and controls
facility access when an individual’s temperature exceeds a pre-set threshold and (2) our Shield™ disinfectants and cleansers
which are for use against viruses and bacteria.
Our video solutions segment
revenue encompasses video recording products and services for our law enforcement and commercial customers and the sale of Shield disinfectant
and personal protective products. This segment generates revenue through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions,
and hardware sales for video and personal protective safety products and solutions. Revenues for product sales are recognized upon delivery
of the product, and revenues from our cloud and warranty subscription plans are deferred over the term of the subscription, typically
3 or 5 years.
Revenue Cycle Management
Operating Segment – We entered the revenue cycle management business late in the second quarter of 2021 with the formation of
our wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Ally Healthcare, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare. Nobility Healthcare
completed its first acquisition in June 2021, when it acquired a private medical billing company, and has since completed three additional
acquisitions of private medical billing companies, in which we will assist in providing working capital and back-office services to healthcare
organizations throughout the country. Our assistance consists of insurance and benefit verification, medical treatment documentation and
coding, and collections. Through our expertise and experience in this field, we maximize our customers’ service revenues collected,
leading to substantial improvements in their operating margins and cash flows.
Our revenue cycle management
segment consists of our medical billing subsidiaries. Revenues of this segment are recognized after we fulfil the obligations of our
revenue cycle management services. Our revenue cycle management services are services, performed and charged monthly, generally based
on a contractual percentage of total customer collections, for which we recognize our net service fees.
44
Entertainment
Operating Segment - We also entered the live entertainment and events ticketing services through the formation of our wholly
owned subsidiary, TicketSmarter and its completed acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, on September 1, 2021.
TicketSmarter provides ticket sales, partnerships, and mainly, ticket resale services through its online ticketing marketplace for
live events, TicketSmarter.com. TicketSmarter offers tickets for over 125,000 live events throughout the country through its
platform, including concerts, sporting events, theatres, and performing arts. We also began offering production and promotion
services in relation to live music events in third-party venues throughout the country through our Kustom Entertainment, Inc. subsidiary. These services begin with the logistical
matters of an event, including artist booking and research, ticketing, staging, on-site operations, vendor sourcing, and day of
production.
Our entertainment operating
segment consists of entertainment services provided through TicketSmarter and its online platform, TicketSmarter.com. Revenues of this
segment include ticketing service charges generally determined as a percentage of the face value of the underlying ticket and ticket sales
from our ticket inventory which are recognized when the underlying tickets are sold. Entertainment direct expenses include the cost of
tickets purchased for resale by the Company and held as inventory, credit card fees, ticketing platform expenses, website maintenance
fees, as well as other administrative costs.
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, and we have issued purchase orders in the ordinary course
of business that represent commitments to future payments for goods and services.

Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues by Type and by Operating Segment
Our operating segments generate
two types of revenue:
Product revenues primarily include
video solutions operating segment hardware sales of in-car and body-worn cameras. 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. Our entertainment sector also generates product revenue through our production
of live events and concerts including our annual Country Stampede music festival.
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 segment’s 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 solutions 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. Our entertainment segment also generates product revenues from the sale of tickets, merchandise, parking and concessions at live events that it sponsors such as the annual Country Stampede music festival. 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.

Product revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2025 and 2024 were $2,178,960 and $2,207,601, respectively, a decrease of $28,641 (1.3%), due to the following factors:
●
Revenues generated by the entertainment operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter and the 2024 acquisition of the Country Stampede Music Festival. The entertainment operating segment generated $1,740,828 in product revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,586,662 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Product revenue includes revenues generated by the Country Stampede music festival held annually during the last weekend of June, as well as the resale of tickets purchased for live events, sporting events, concerts, and theatre, then sold through various platforms to customers. The 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival generated $1,380,616 in total revenue compared to $787,208 in 2024. The slight decrease in revenues is attributable to a reduction in the scope of primary ticket sales by Ticketsmarter as it focuses on higher margin events to improve its gross margins. In addition, the wildfires in California caused many event cancellations and postponements during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that also depressed product sales.
●
The Company’s video segment operating segment generated revenues totaling $438,132 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $620,939 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. 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 2024 due to the Company not having inventory in–stock to fulfill existing backlog orders, price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors and adverse marketplace effects related to our recent financial condition. We have been able to start the product supply chain during the first and second quarter of 2025 with funds generated by the February 2025 public equity offering which we believe will improve our video solutions product sales during the remainder of 2025.
●
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 monthly recurring 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 for the three months
ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $3,453,079 and $3,408,634, respectively, an increase of $44,445 (1.3%), due to the following factors:
●
Cloud revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $637,846 and $637,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a slight increase of $467. We continue to experience 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 cloud revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2024. We expect this trend to continue for 2025 as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base.
●
Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services were $239,988 and $233,031 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a slight increase of $6,957 (3.0%).
47
●
Our entertainment operating segment generated service revenues totaling $1,118,245 and $879,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $238,696 (27.1%). 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 fluctuate as we look to right-size this segment and work towards profitability. Our entertainment segment has focused on cost cutting and overall improvements in gross margin rather than top line revenues, which has resulted in a reduction in revenues for ticketing events that did not meet its gross margin goals. The entertainment operating segment has increased its use of Facebook and other social media to generate increased ticketing revenues in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024.
●
Our revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $1,432,294 and $1,564,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $132,060 (8.4%). Our revenue cycle management operating segment provides revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. The decrease in revenue is due to refinement within one of the recent acquisitions, as they strive to maximize profitability rather than focus on top-line revenue.
Total revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $5,632,039 and $5,616,235, respectively, a slight increase of $15,804 (0.3%), due to the reasons
noted above.
Cost of Product Revenue
Overall cost of product revenue

The decrease in cost of goods
sold for our video solutions segment products is due to large decrease in product sales experienced during the three months ended June
30, 2025. We could not fulfil open orders due to low inventory levels. We have utilized funds from the February 2025 public equity
offering to ramp the supply chain which we believe will lead to improved product sales during the remainder of 2025. Cost of product sold
as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment decreased to 133% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared
to 154% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in entertainment
operating segment cost of product sold directly correlates to the increased revenues and costs associated with our annual Country Stampede
Music Festival. Cost of product sold related to the 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival totaled $2,992,052 as compared to $1,848,167
for the 2024 Festival. Total cost of product revenues for the entertainment operating segment was $3,317,407 and $2,460,792 for the three
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, an increase of $856,615 (34.8%). Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the
entertainment segment increased to 191% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 155% for the three months ended June 30,

Cost of Service Revenue
Overall cost of service revenue
sold for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was $2,362,800 and $1,954,589, respectively, an increase of $408,211 (20.9%).

The increase in cost of service
revenues for our video solutions segment demonstrates the leverage we are enjoying as we increase our service revenues during the three
months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues
for the video solutions segment increased to 43% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 35% for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. This represents an increase in costs for securing cloud storage from our providers in 2025 compared to 2024.
The decrease in revenue cycle
management operating segment cost of service revenue is commensurate with the decline in revenues due to certain loss generating services
being eliminated during the year. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of product revenues for the revenue cycle management operating
segment remained stable at 62% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 62% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in entertainment
operating segment cost of service revenues is due to management right sizing the business working towards profitability. The entertainment
segment terminated several unprofitable sponsorships which required termination payments during the three months ended June 30, 2025,
that is expected to lead to improvements in costs of service revenues during the remainder of 2025. The entertainment segment cost of
service revenue was $1,094,131 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $652,273 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the entertainment segment increased to 98% for the three months ended
June 30, 2025 as compared to 74% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Gross Profit
Overall gross profit for the
three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $(632,625) and $242,392, respectively, a decrease of $875,017 (361%). Gross profit by operating

The decrease in gross profits
is primarily due to a deterioration in our cost of sales as a percentage of sales particularly in our entertainment segment service product
and service revenues. The primary reason is the larger negative margins generated by our 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival as compared
to the 2024 Festival. There was an overall increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 111% for the three months
ended June 30, 2025 from 96% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The primary reason for the overall negative gross margins in 2025
is the larger negative margins generated by our 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival as compared to the 2024 Festival.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $3,462,448 and $4,156,613 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $694,165 (17%).
The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in new advertising sponsorships being entered into by the Company and large reductions
in selling, general and administrative head count as the Company right-sized its operations across all operating segments. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 74%
in the same period in 2024. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

Research and development
expense. Our research and development expenses totaled $183,811 and $545,776 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively which represents a decrease of $361,965 (66.3%). We have focused on controlling our expenditures for bringing new products
to market, including updates and improvements to current products in response to our decline in revenues. The decrease in research and
development expenses reflects the large cut-back in our engineering staff and research activities in order to right-size our expenses in
this area with our revenues.
Selling, advertising
and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $283,137 and $728,906 for the three months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $445,769 (61.2%). The decrease in selling, advertising and promotional expenses reflects
the large cut-back in selling staff and promotional and advertising activities in order to right-size our expenses in this area with our
revenues. In addition, the decrease is attributable to the reduction in new sponsorships being entered into by the Company and its subsidiary
TicketSmarter.
General and administrative
expense . General and administrative expenses totaled $2,995,500 and $2,881,931 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively which represents a slight increase of $113,569 (3.9%). The increase in general and administrative expenses in the three months
ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily attributable to a substantial increase legal and professional expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to the failed merger with CloverLeaf and various capital
raises we have undertaken which was offset by a decrease in administrative salaries and reductions in headcount in order to right-size
our expenses across all operating segments with our revenues.
Operating Loss
For the reasons previously
stated, our operating loss was $4,095,073 and $3,914,221 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a slight deterioration
of $180,852 (4.6%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues improved to 72.7% in 2025 as compared to 69.7% in 2024.
Interest Income
Interest income increased
to $45,946 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $29,933 in 2024, which reflects our overall increase in our cash and cash equivalent
levels in 2025 compared to 2024 due to funds generated in the February 2025 public equity offering.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expenses
of $77,280 and $1,085,063 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The large decrease is attributable to the Company
paying off most of its interest-bearing debt in late 2024 and early 2025 including the senior secured promissory notes that were paid
off with proceeds from the February 2025 public equity offering.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) decreased
to $18,767 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $30,445 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, which reflects income related
to a warehouse sublease within the corporate headquarters during early 2024 which ceased upon the sale of the building which occurred
in 2024.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt - related
party
On September 22, 2023, a trust,
the beneficiaries of which are TicketSmarter’s Chief Executive Officer and his spouse, made a loan in the amount of $2,325,000 to
TicketSmarter to support TicketSmarter’s operations. The Related Party Note bears interest of 13.25% per annum with repayment
beginning January 2, 2024. On October 2, 2023 an additional $375,000 was advanced to Ticketsmarter which increased the loan
balance to $2,700,000. The use of proceeds of the TicketSmarter Related Party Note was to resolve numerous outstanding payables at a discounted
rate, the discount received is recognized as a gain on extinguishment of liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Additionally, these negotiations relieved TicketSmarter of numerous future obligations following fiscal year 2023.
On August 19, 2024, the parties
agreed to amend the note whereby the repayment dates were extended to begin on January 2, 2025 and continue at $54,000 for 50 consecutive
weeks plus interest. The parties did not change any other provisions or terms of the note. The amendment was determined to be a modification
of the note rather than an extinguishment and reissuance of a new note.
On March 20, 2025, the parties agreed to a second modification of the TicketSmarter Related Party Note. The modification
eliminated all accrued interest totaling $582,203 as of the date of the second modification, reduced the interest rate from 13.25% per
annum to 8% per annum, and extended and reduced the repayment amount from $54,000 per week to $11,000 per week beginning April 1, 2025.
The modification was deemed to be an extinguishment of debt resulting in a gain on extinguishment of note payable – related party
of $1,249,372 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. At the time of the modification, management considered the officer’s
lack Company-wide policy making authority and de-minimis beneficial ownership in the Company to determine that in its estimation the officer
did not act in his capacity as an equity holder in the Company when negotiating the March 20, 2025 debt modification.
50
On June 4, 2025, the parties agreed
to a third modification of the TicketSmarter Related Party Note. The modification reduced the outstanding principal amount from $2,678,000
to $2,000,000, eliminated all accrued interest totaling $43,515 as of the date of the third modification, the interest rate remained at
8% per annum, and extended and reduced the repayment amount from $11,000 per week to $9,600 per week beginning January 1, 2026. The modification
was deemed to be an extinguishment of debt resulting in a gain on extinguishment of note payable – related party of $622,622 during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
At the time of the June 4, 2025 modification, management considered the repetitive nature of the modifications as
an indication that the Officer was acting more in his capacity as an equity holder. In addition, management reconsidered the accounting
treatment for the March 20, 2025 modification and changed its estimate whereby, the officer was more likely than not acting in his capacity
as an equity holder in the Company when negotiating the March 20, 2025 debt modification, as well. As a result, the Company determined
the proper accounting treatment for the $622,622 gain on the June 4, 2025 modification as a deemed contribution of capital rather than
a gain recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the Company reconsidered the accounting treatment
for the $1,249,372 gain on the March 20, 2025 modification as a deemed contribution of capital rather than a gain recognized in the condensed
consolidated statement of operations. Therefore the $1,249,372 gain on the March 20, 2025 modification was reversed during the quarter
ended June 30, 2025 and recorded as a deemed contribution of capital rather than a gain recognized in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations.
Loss on Extinguishment of debt
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company
refinanced its merchant advance loan and determined the refinancing of the debt should be treated as a debt extinguishment. As a result,
the Company recorded a loss of $68,827 on debt extinguishment during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The change in fair value of
the warrant derivative liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively totaled a gain of $857,189 during the
three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a loss of $2,818 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company has issued various
detachable warrants in connection with capital raises during 2024 and 2025 that were required to be treated as warrant derivative liabilities.
Warrant derivative liabilities are required to be marked-to-market at each balance sheet date with the change in fair value recorded as
a gain or loss in the Condensed Statement of Operations. The gain recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2025 reflects the large
decline in the closing market value of our common stock at June 30, 2025 when compared to March 31, 2025 closing market values.
Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities
The Company recorded a gain
on the extinguishment of liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 of $10,619, and $—, respectively. The gains
reflect income related to the entertainment segment’s ability to negotiate down payables and other contract obligations during the
three months ended June 30, 2025 utilizing funds generated by the closing of the February 2025 public equity offering on February 13,
2025.
Loss before Income Tax Benefit
As a result of the
above, we reported a net loss before income tax benefit of $(4,489,204) and $(5,010,551) for the three months ended June
30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement of $521,347 (10.4%).
Income Tax Benefit
We recorded an income tax
benefit of $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for both 2025 and 2024 varied
from the expected statutory rate due to our continuing to provide a 100% valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. We determined
that it was appropriate to continue the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
primarily because of the recurring operating losses.
We have further determined
to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025.
We had approximately
$156,019 of federal net operating loss carryforwards and $1,742,000 of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of June
30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 available to offset future net taxable income.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the above,
we reported net income (loss) of $(4,489,204) and $(5,010,551) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement
of $521,347 (10.4%).
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
of Consolidated Subsidiary
The Company has 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 condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) as “net
income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”. We reported net income attributable to noncontrolling
interests of consolidated subsidiary of $55,997 and $73,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
51
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
As a result of the above,
we reported a net income (loss) of $(4,545,201) and $(5,083,861) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement
of $538,660 (10.6%).
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The basic and diluted loss
per share was $(3.21) and ($3,479.71) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for the reasons previously noted.
All outstanding stock options and Common Stock purchase warrants were considered antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation
of diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 because of their exercise price being higher than
the market value of our Common Stock and the net loss reported for 2025 and 2024.

Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues by Type and by Operating Segment
Our operating segments generate
two types of revenue:
Product revenues primarily include
video solutions operating segment hardware sales of in-car and body-worn cameras. 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. Our entertainment sector also generates product revenue through our production
of live events and concerts including our annual Country Stampede music festival.
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 segment’s 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 solutions 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.
53
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. Our entertainment segment also generates product revenues from the sale of tickets, merchandise, parking and concessions at live events that it sponsors such as the annual Country Stampede music festival. 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.

$ 2,937,780
$ 3,773,447
Product revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2025 and 2024 were $2,937,780 and $3,773,447, respectively, a decrease of $835,667 (22.1%), due to the following factors:
●
Revenues generated by the entertainment operating segment began with the Company’s September 2021 acquisition of TicketSmarter and the 2024 acquisition of the Country Stampede Music Festival. The entertainment operating segment generated $2,445,416 in product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,431,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Product revenue includes revenues generated by the Country Stampede music festival held annually during the last weekend of June, as well as the resale of tickets purchased for live events, sporting events, concerts, and theatre, then sold through various platforms to customers. The 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival generated $1,380,616 in total revenue compared to $787,208 in 2024. The slight increase in revenues is attributable to increased revenues from the 2025 Country Stampede Music festival offset by a reduction in scope of primary ticket sales by Ticketsmarter as it focuses on higher margin events to improve its gross margins. In addition, the wildfires in California caused many event cancellations and postponements during the six months ended June 30, 2025, that also depressed product sales.
●
The Company’s video segment operating segment generated revenues totaling $492,364 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1,342,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. 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 2024 due to the Company not having inventory in–stock to fulfill existing backlog orders, price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors and adverse marketplace effects related to our recent financial condition. We have been able to start the product supply chain during the first and second quarter of 2025 with funds generated by the February 2025 public equity offering which we believe will improve our video solutions product sales during the remainder of 2025.
54
●
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 monthly recurring 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 for the six months
ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $7,169,523 and $7,372,139, respectively, an increase of $202,616 (2.7%), due to the following factors:
●
Cloud revenues generated by the video solutions operating segment were $1,231,119 and $1,253,459 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a slight decrease of $22,339 (1.7%). We continue to experience 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 cloud revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2024. We expect this trend to continue for 2025 as the migration from local storage to cloud storage continues in our customer base.
●
Video solutions operating segment revenues from extended warranty services were $468,417 and $433,592 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a slight increase of $34,825 (8.0%).
●
Our entertainment operating segment generated service revenues totaling $2,616,088 and $2,411,351 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $204,737 (8.5%). 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 fluctuate as we look to right-size this segment and work towards profitability. Our entertainment segment has focused on cost cutting and overall improvements in gross margin rather than top line revenues, which has resulted in a reduction in revenues for ticketing events that did not meet its gross margin goals. The entertainment operating segment has increased its use of Facebook and other social media to generate increased ticketing revenues in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024.
●
Our revenue cycle management operating segment generated service revenues totaling $2,782,845 and $2,998,952 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $216,107 (7.2%). Our revenue cycle management operating segment provides revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. The decrease in revenue is due to refinement within one of the recent acquisitions, as they strive to maximize profitability rather than focus on top-line revenue.
Total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $10,107,303 and $11,145,586, respectively, a slight decrease of $1,038,283 (9.3%), due to the
reasons noted above.

Cost of Product Revenue
Overall cost of product revenue
sold for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was $4,577,503 and $4,986,647, respectively, a decrease of $409,144 (8.2%). Overall
cost of goods sold for products as a percentage of product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were 156% and 132%,
respectively. Cost of products sold by operating segment is as follows:

Total Cost of Product Revenues
$ 4,577,503
$ 4,986,647
The decrease in cost of goods
sold for our video solutions segment products is due to large decrease in product sales experienced during the six months ended June 30,
2025 compared to 2024. We were not able to fulfil open orders due to low inventory levels. We have utilized funds from the February 2025
public equity offering to ramp the supply chain which we believe will lead to improved product sales during the remainder of 2025. Cost
of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 132% for the six months ended June 30,
2025 as compared to 131% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The increase in entertainment
operating segment cost of product sold directly correlates to the increased revenues and costs associated with our annual Country Stampede
Music Festival. Cost of product sold related to the 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival totaled $2,992,052 as compared to $1,848,167
for the 2024 Festival. Total cost of product revenues for the entertainment operating segment was $3,928,494 and $3,230,691 for the six
months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, an increase of $697,803 (21.6%). Cost of product sold as a percentage of product revenues for the
entertainment segment increased to 161% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 133% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of Service Revenue
Overall cost of service revenue
sold for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was $4,560,926 and $4,395,109, respectively, an increase of $165,817 (3.8%). Overall
cost of goods sold for services as a percentage of service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were 64% and 60%,
respectively. Cost of service revenues by operating segment is as follows:

The slight decrease in cost
of service revenues for our video solutions segment demonstrates the leverage we are enjoying as we increase our service revenues during
the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service
revenues for the video solutions segment increased to 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 35% for the six months
ended June 30, 2024. This represents an increase in costs for securing cloud storage from our providers in 2025 compared to 2024.
The decrease in revenue cycle
management operating segment cost of service revenue is commensurate with the decline in revenues due to certain loss generating services
being eliminated during the year. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of product revenues for the revenue cycle management operating
segment remained stable at 63% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
56
The increase in entertainment
operating segment cost of service revenues is due to management right sizing the business working towards profitability. The entertainment
segment terminated several unprofitable sponsorships which required termination payments during the six months ended June 30, 2025, that
is expected to lead to improvements in costs of service revenues during the remainder of 2025. The entertainment segment cost of service
revenue was $2,107,401 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,766,821 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of
service revenues as a percentage of service revenues for the entertainment segment increased to 81% for the six months ended June 30,
2025 as compared to 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Gross Profit
Overall gross profit for the
six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $(632,625) and $242,392, respectively, a decrease of $875,017 (361%). Gross profit by operating
segment was as follows:

Total Gross Profit

$ 1,763,830
The decrease in gross profits
is primarily due to a deterioration in our cost of sales as a percentage of sales particularly in our entertainment segment service product
and service revenues. The primary reason is the larger negative margins generated by our 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival as compared
to the 2024 Festival. There was an overall increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of overall revenues to 90% for the six months
ended June 30, 2025 from 84% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The primary reason for the overall negative gross margins in 2025
is the larger negative margins generated by our 2025 Country Stampede Music Festival as compared to the 2024 Festival.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative
expenses were $6,038,627 and $9,317,023 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $3,278,396 (35%).
The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in new advertising sponsorships being entered into by the Company and large reductions
in selling, general and administrative head count as the Company right-sized its operations across all operating segments. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 60% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 84% in
the same period in 2024. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

$ 268,228
$ 1,033,242

Research and development
expense. Our research and development expenses totaled $268,228 and $1,033,242 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively which represents a decrease of $765,014 (74%). We have focused on controlling our expenditures for bringing new products
to market, including updates and improvements to current products in response to our decline in revenues. The decrease in research and
development expenses reflects the large cut-back in our engineering staff and research activities in order to right-size our expenses in
this area with our revenues.
Selling, advertising
and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $391,178 and $1,487,762 for the six months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $1,096,584 (73.7%). The decrease in selling, advertising and promotional expenses
reflects the large cut-back in selling staff and promotional and advertising activities in order to right-size our expenses in this area
with our revenues. In addition, the decrease is attributable to the reduction in new sponsorships being entered into by the Company and
its subsidiary TicketSmarter.
57
General and administrative
expense . General and administrative expenses totaled $5,379,221 and $6,796,019 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively which represents a decrease of $1,416,798 (20.8%). The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the six months
ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily attributable to a decrease in administrative salaries and reductions
in headcount in order to right-size our expenses in this area with our revenues. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was
offset by a substantial increase legal and professional expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in
2024 due to the failed merger with CloverLeaf and various capital raises we have undertaken.
Operating Loss
For the reasons previously
stated, our operating loss was $5,069,753 and $7,553,193 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement
of $2,483,440 (32.9%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues improved to 50.2% in 2025 as compared to 67.8% in 2024.
Interest Income
Interest income increased
to $77,921 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $49,289 in 2024, which reflects our overall increase in our cash and cash equivalent
levels in 2025 compared to 2024 due to funds generated in the February 2025 public equity offering.
Interest Expense
We incurred interest expenses
of $869,553 and $1,733,690 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The large decrease is attributable to the Company
paying off most of its interest-bearing debt in late 2024 and early 2025 including the senior secured promissory notes that were paid
off with proceeds from the February 2025 public equity offering.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) decreased
to $35,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $58,046 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which reflects income related
to a warehouse sublease within the corporate headquarters during early 2024 which ceased upon the sale of the building which occurred
in 2024.
58
Loss on Extinguishment of debt
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company
refinanced its merchant advance loan and determined the refinancing of the debt should be treated as a debt extinguishment. As a result,
the Company recorded a loss of $68,827 on the debt extinguishment during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The change in fair value of
the warrant derivative liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively totaled a gain of $3,373,080 during the
six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a loss of $351,710 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company has issued various
detachable warrants in connection with capital raises during 2024 and 2025 that were required to be treated as warrant derivative liabilities.
Warrant derivative liabilities are required to be marked-to-market at each balance sheet date with the change in fair value recorded as
a gain or loss in the Condensed Statement of Operations. The gain recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflects the large decline
in the closing market value of our common stock at June 30, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024 closing market values.
Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities
The Company recorded a gain
on the extinguishment of liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 of $2,230,716, and $682,345, respectively. The gains
reflect income related to the video solutions and entertainment segment’s ability to negotiate down payables and other contract
obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 utilizing funds generated by the closing of the February 2025 public equity offering
on February 13, 2025.
The gain on extinguishment
of liabilities was $682,345 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which reflects income related to the entertainment segment’s
ability to negotiate down payables and other contract obligations during the period. The Company utilized funds from the related party
note payable to resolve numerous outstanding payables at a discounted rate, the discount received was recognized as a gain on extinguishment
of liabilities in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Gain on disposal of intangibles
Gain on disposal of intangibles
decreased to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $5,582 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Loss on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company reported a loss
on sale of property, plant and equipment of $-0- and $41,661 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
Loss before Income Tax Benefit
As a result of the above,
we reported net loss before income tax benefit of $(222,122) and $(8,953,819) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, an improvement of $9,175,941 (102.5%).
Income Tax Benefit
We recorded an income tax
benefit of $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for both 2025 and 2024 varied from
the expected statutory rate due to our continuing to provide a 100% valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. We determined that
it was appropriate to continue the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 primarily
because of the recurring operating losses.
59
We have further determined
to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025.
We had approximately $156,019,000
of federal net operating loss carryforwards and $1,742,000 of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2025 and
December 31, 2024 available to offset future net taxable income.
Net Loss
As a result of the above,
we reported net income (loss) of $(222,122) and $(8,953,819) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement
of $8,731,697 (97.5%).
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
of Consolidated Subsidiary
The Company has 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 condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) as “net
income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiary”. We reported net income attributable to noncontrolling
interests of consolidated subsidiary of $59,608 and $61,063 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
As a result of the above,
we reported a net loss of $(281,730) and $(9,014,882) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement
of $8,733,152 (96.9%).
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The basic and diluted
loss per share was $0.54 and ($6,234.36) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for reasons previously
noted. All outstanding stock options and Common Stock purchase warrants were considered antidilutive and therefore excluded from the
calculation of diluted income (loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Such potentially dilutive securities
were excluded from the computation because of their exercise price being higher than the market value of our Common Stock
and the net loss reported for 2025 and 2024.
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.
60
Cash, cash equivalents:
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance of $622,820, an increase from a balance of $454,314 at
December 31, 2024. Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections are the main elements of the
$168,506 net increase in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2025:
●
Operating activities :
Net cash used in operating activities was $8,644,106 and $3,408,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a deterioration of $5,235,349. The decrease is attributable to the repayment of accounts payable from proceeds of our February 2025 public equity offering, an increase in noncash gains from the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities, the extinguishment of liabilities and debt and cash used by the change in operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
●
Investing activities :
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(313,041) and $36,504 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we made expenditures for the purchase of property plant and equipment and also for patents. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold our building and collected $550,644 in net proceeds.
●
Financing activities :
Net cash provided by financing activities was $9,125,653 and $3,208,817 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During 2025, we most notably issued Common Stock in the February 2025 public equity with detachable warrants resulting in $14,308,300 in net cash proceeds and issued an unsecured promissory note raising $600,000 in net cash proceeds. The cash proceeds were partially offset by payments on outstanding loans including the payments on senior secured promissory notes and merchant advances.
The net result of these activities
was an increase in cash of $168,506 to $622,820 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Commitments:
We have $622,820 of cash and
cash equivalents and net positive working capital of $119,506 as of June 30, 2025. Accounts receivable and other receivables balances
represented $4,613,334 of our net working capital at June 30, 2025. We intend to collect our outstanding receivables on a timely basis
and reduce the overall level during 2025, which would help to provide positive cash flow to support our operations during 2025 and beyond.
Inventory represents $2,466,106 of our net working capital at June 30, 2025. We are actively managing the level of inventory, and our goal
is to reduce such level during 2025 by our sales activities, the decrease of which should provide additional cash flow to help support
our operations during 2025 and beyond.
Capital Expenditures:
We had the following material
commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2025:
Lease commitments. Total
lease expense under the Company’s operating leases was approximately $386,672 during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

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 re-evaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time.
While the ultimate resolution
is unknown, 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. See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the condensed consolidated financial
statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on our litigation.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting
policies are summarized in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ,” to our condensed
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 assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations ;
●
Fair value of warrant derivative liabilities;
●
Stock-based Compensation Expense; and
●
Accounting for Income Taxes.
Revenue Recognition
/ Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Revenue is recognized for the shipment of products or delivery of service when all five of
the following conditions are met:
(i)
Identify the contract with the customer;

(iii)
Determine the transaction price;
(iv)
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
(v)
Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
We consider the terms and
conditions of the contract and our customary business practices in identifying our contracts under ASC 606. We determine we have a contract
when the customer order is approved, we can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, we can identify
the payment terms for the services, we have determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay and the contract has commercial
substance. At contract inception we evaluate whether the contract includes more than one performance obligation. We apply judgment in
determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical
payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
Performance obligations promised
in a contract are identified based on the services and the products that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of
being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily
available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services and the
products is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our performance obligations consist of (i) products, (ii) professional
services, and (iii) extended warranties.
The transaction price is determined
based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Variable consideration
is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under
the contract will not occur. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component.
63
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 consist 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 non-standard 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 deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the extended warranty.
For our video solutions segment,
our principal customers are state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies, which historically have been low risks for uncollectible
accounts. However, we have commercial customers and international distributors that present a greater risk for uncollectible accounts
than such law enforcement customers and we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. Our historical
bad debts have been negligible 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.

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 40% of the gross inventory balance
at June 30, 2025, compared to 46% of the gross inventory balance at December 31, 2024. We had $1,661,694 and $2,169,655 in reserves for
obsolete and excess inventories at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The 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 June 30, 2025.
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.
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 analysis 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.
65
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.
We performed an impairment
test as of the last day of the fiscal third quarter of 2024 as management determined that a triggering event had occurred resulting from
the additional decline in demand for our services, prolonged economic uncertainty, the fact that the split-off transaction did not occur
when and as expected and a further decrease in our stock price. Therefore, we performed an impairment test for our reporting units with
remaining goodwill.
The fair value of each reporting
unit was estimated using a weighting of the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach applied a fair value methodology
to each reporting unit based on discounted cash flows. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash
flows, which is dependent on internally-developed forecasts of revenue and profitability, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for
our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital,
which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. The weighted average cost of capital used
in our most recent impairment test ranged from 20.9% to 32.5%. We also applied a market approach, which develops a value correlation based
on the market capitalization of similar publicly traded companies, referred to as a multiple, to apply to the operating results of the
reporting units. The primary market multiples used are revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The
income and market approaches were equally weighted in our most recent annual impairment test, for all of the reporting units.
The combined fair values for
all reporting units were then reconciled to our aggregate market value of our shares of Common Stock on the date of valuation, while considering
a reasonable control premium. We consider a reporting unit’s fair value to be substantially in excess of the reporting unit’s
carrying value at a 25% premium or greater. Based on our most recent impairment test, the video solutions reporting unit’s fair
value was substantially in excess of its carrying value, while the revenue cycle management and entertainment segments were determined
to be impaired.
We held goodwill of $5,480,966
as of September 30, 2024, related to businesses within our revenue cycle management segment. We held goodwill of $6,112,507 as of September
30, 2024, respectively, related to businesses within our entertainment segment. As a result of our September 30, 2024 interim impairment
test, we concluded that the carrying amount of the revenue cycle management and the entertainment reporting units exceeded its estimated
fair values. Thus, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $4,322,000, related to the goodwill carrying balance for the revenue
cycle management segment, and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $307,000, related to the goodwill carrying balance for the entertainment
segment, both of which was included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The goodwill impairment was primarily driven by recent performance of the revenue cycle
management and entertainment reporting units since our annual impairment testing date, as well as a delay in the projected timing of recovery.
The remaining balance for the goodwill carrying balance related to businesses within our revenue cycle management segment and entertainment
segment was $1,158,966 and $5,805,507, respectively as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

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. 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 compared to our new products for
which we have limited experience. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities
in future periods.
Warrant derivative liabilities.
The Company accounts for their derivative financial
instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” therefore any embedded conversion options and warrants accounted
for as derivatives are to be recorded at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent
balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each
balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the
classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the
reclassification.
The Black-Scholes option valuation
model was used to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions
that can materially affect the fair value estimates.
Accounting for Income
Taxes. Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates and
judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse
in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating
losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit.
As required by authoritative
guidance, we record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
using currently enacted rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Authoritative guidance also requires
that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax
asset will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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
$4,680,000 to a balance of $46,290,000 to fully reserve our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We determined
that it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, because of the overall net operating loss carryforwards available. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance
until we determine that we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we
determine that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion
or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related
to deductions for stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity.
As required by authoritative
guidance, we have performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards
established by the FASB, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return or
planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes.
We have no recorded liability as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 representing uncertain tax positions.
67
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 revenue during the second half of the calendar
year than in the first half.
