Nature of Operations::

 

Digital Ally, Inc.

The Company’s products include, among others; in-car digital video/audio recorders contained in a rear-view mirror for use in law enforcement and commercial fleets; a system that provides its law enforcement customers with audio/video surveillance from multiple vantage points and hands-free automatic activation of body-worn cameras and in-car video systems; a miniature digital video system designed to be worn on an individual’s body; and cloud storage solutions. The Company added two new lines of branded products: (1) the ThermoVu® line, 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) the Shield™ disinfectant and cleanser line, which is for use against viruses and bacteria and which we began offering to the Company’s law enforcement and commercial customers beginning late in the second quarter of 2020. Both product lines are manufactured by third parties. In addition, the Company has active research and development programs to adapt its technologies to other applications. It can integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create unique solutions to address needs in a variety of other industries and markets, including mass transit, school bus, taxicab and the military. The Company sells its products to law enforcement agencies, private security customers and organizations, and consumer and commercial fleet operators through direct sales domestically and third-party distributors internationally. Additionally, through our Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC subsidiary, the Company has expanded into the revenue cycle management solutions field, helping provide working capital and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. Lastly, through the Company’s recently formed TicketSmarter, Inc. subsidiary, it has entered the online ticketing platform through TicketSmarter.com, as a unique marketplace for buyers and sellers of tickets for live events throughout the country.

The Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country, as a monthly service fee. The Ticketing Segment acts as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com, and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms.

COVID-19 pandemic::

 

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where the Company has offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners.

 

Like most US-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. BySince that time, muchthe COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global health and economic environment, including millions of our first fiscal quarter was completed. During the remainder of 2020confirmed cases, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, changes in government spending and the first quarter of 2021, the Company observed decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily law-enforcementrequirements, regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and commercial customers. However, the Company is beginning to experience an increase in demand for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.market volatility.

 

GivenWe operate within the fact that the Company’s products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, the Company expects its sales will experience more volatility as a result of the changingcomplex integrated global supply chain for both vendors and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is aware that many companies, including many of its suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although the Company observed significant declines in demand for its products from certain customers during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company believes that the impact of the COVID-19 remains too fluid and unknown, hindering the Company from determining the long-term demand for current products. The Company also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time as the impacts ofcustomers. As the COVID-19 pandemic may go through several phases ofdissipates at varying severitytimes and duration.

In light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impactsrates in different regions around the world, there could be a prolonged negative impact on certain industries that use the Company’s products and services, the Company has taken, and continue to take targeted steps to lower its operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on its operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within its control and are discussed in this and other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company does not expect there to be material changes to its assets on its balance sheet or its ability to timely account for those assets. Further, in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company reviewed the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on goodwill and intangible assets and have determined there to be no material impact at this time. The Company has also reviewed the potential impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items.

To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted its ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver products or services to customers. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm the business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist its customers and distributors as well as impact its ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present the Company does not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. The Company has taken steps to restrain and monitor its operating expenses and therefore it does not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues.

Like most companies, the Company has taken a range of actions with respect to how it operates to assure it complies with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of its employees and itsglobal supply chains. Our ability to continue operating itsoperations at specific facilities will be impacted by the interdependencies of the various participants of these global supply chains, which are largely beyond our direct control. A prolonged shut down of these global supply chains could have a material adverse effect on our business, effectively. To date, the Company has been able to operate its business effectively using these measuresresults of operations, cash flows and to maintain internal controls as documented and posted. The Company also has not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and does not expect to incur material expenditures to do so. However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future.financial condition.

The actions the Company has taken so far during the COVID-19 pandemic include, but are not limited to:

requiring all employees who can work from homeIf our suppliers have increased challenges with their workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism, reactions to health and safety or government requirements), facility closures, timely access to necessary components, materials and other supplies at reasonable prices, access to work from home;
increasing its IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office; and
for employees who must perform essential functions in one of its offices:
having employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from other employees whenever possible;
having employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk all employees who perform similar tasks might become infected by COVID-19;
having employees stay segregated from other employees in the office with whom they require no interaction; and
requiring unvaccinated employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever possible.

The Company currently believes revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 will still be impacted due to the conditions noted. In April 2020, the Company implemented a COVID-19 mitigation plan designed to further reduce its operating expenses during the pandemic. Actions taken to date include work hour and salary reductions for senior management. These cost reductions are in addition to the significant restructuring actions which the Company continues to implement and develop throughout 2021. Based on the Company’s current cash position, its projected cash flow from operations and its cost reduction and cost containment efforts to date, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital, and or have access to sufficient capital through publicfundamental support services (such as shipping and private equitytransportation), they may be unable to provide the agreed-upon goods and debt offerings to sustain operations forservices in a period of one year followingtimely, compliant and cost-effective manner. We have incurred and may in the date of this filing. Iffuture incur additional costs and delays in our business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, wereincluding as a result of higher prices, schedule delays or the need to identify and develop alternative suppliers. In some instances, we may be prolongedunable to identify and develop alternative suppliers, incurring additional liabilities under our current contracts and hampering new ones. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations and supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can result in delayed, reduced, or expandedcanceled orders, or collection risks, and which may adversely affect our results of operations. Similarly, current, and future restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures or delays, and increased border controls, delays or closures, can also impact our ability to meet demand and could materially adversely affect us.

The spread of COVID-19 caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in scope,meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures). To date, we eased many of these modifications. However, we may, in the future, reinstitute the same or similar changes or take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Although we managed to continue most of our operations, the future course of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and we cannot assure that this global pandemic, including its economic impact, will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition,position, results of operations andand/or cash flows would be negatively impacted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and subordinated notes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Revenue Recognition::

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related appropriate guidance. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company has two different revenue streams, product and service, represented through its three segments. The Company reports all revenues on a gross basis, other than service revenues from the Company’s ticketing and revenue cycle management segments. Revenues generated by all segments are reported net of sales taxes.

The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customer. In situationssituation where sales are to a distributor, the Company had concluded its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of part of its consideration for the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customers’ ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, it has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e.,(i.e. when the Company’s performance obligations is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further in determining whether control has been transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. Customers do not have a right to return the product other than for warranty reasons for which they would only receive repair services or replacement product. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions for product sales when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

 

The Company sells its products and services to customers in the following manner:

Product sales to domestic customers are made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency or a commercial customer) through its sales force, which is composed of its employees. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
Product sales to international customers are made through independent distributors who purchase products from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor generally maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Accordingly, upon application of steps one through five above, 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 its inside customer service employees. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the repair parts and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer.
Service sales through the Company’s Nobility Healthcare subsidiary are driven through relationships with medium to large healthcare organizations, in which revenue is recognized upon execution of services. Through the Company’s TicketSmarter subsidiary, service sales 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.

Sales taxes collected on products sold are excluded from revenues and are reported as accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets until payments are remitted.

Service and other revenue is comprised of revenues from extended warranties, repair services, cloud revenue and software revenue, revenue cycle management services, and ticket marketplace services.revenue. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer for repair services. Revenue for extended warranty, cloud service or other software-based products is over the term of the contract warranty or service period. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to these revenues is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, as long as the other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

Contracts with some of the Company’s customers contain multiple performance obligations that are distinct and accounted for separately. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company determined SSP for all the performance obligations using observable inputs, such as standalone sales and historical pricing. SSP is consistent with the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration the type of service being provided. SSP also reflects the amount the Company would charge for the performance obligation if it were sold separately in a standalone sale. Multiple performance obligations consist of product, software, cloud subscriptions and extended warranties.

10

The Company’s multiple performance obligations may include future in-car or body-worn camera devices to be delivered at defined points within a multi-year contract, and in those arrangements, the Company allocates total arrangement consideration over the life of the multi-year contract to future deliverables using management’s best estimate of selling price.

 

Revenue Cycle Management

The Company reports revenue cycle management revenues on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to end service fees which is generally determined as a percentage of the invoice amounts collected. These service fees are reported as revenue monthly upon completion of the Company’s performance obligation to provide the agreed upon service.

Ticketing

The Company reports ticketing revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company is acting as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination is based upon the evaluation of control over the event ticket, including the right to sell the ticket, prior to its transfer to the ticket buyer.

The Company sells tickets held in inventory, which consists of one performance obligation, being to transfer control of an event ticket to the buyer upon confirmation of the order. The Company acts as the principal in these transactions as the ticket is owned by the Company at the time of sale, therefore controlling the ticket prior to transferring to the customer. In these transactions, revenue is recorded on a gross basis based on the value of the ticket and is recognized when an order is confirmed. Payment is typically due upon delivery of the ticket.

9

The Company also acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers through the online secondary marketplace. Revenues derived from this marketplace primarily consist of service fees from ticketing operations, and consists of one primary performance obligation, which is facilitating the transaction between the buyer and seller, being satisfied at the time the order has been confirmed. As the Company does not control the ticket prior to the transfer, the Company acts as an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, net of the amount due to the seller when an order is confirmed. The seller is then obligated to deliver the tickets to the buyer per the seller’s listing, and payment is due at the time of sale.

Other

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are reported separately as current liabilities and non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such amounts consist of extended warranty contracts, prepaid cloud services and prepaid installation services and are generally recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $0.5 million related to its contract liabilities. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are reported separately as current liabilities and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such amounts consist of extended warranty contracts, prepaid cloud services and prepaid installation services and are generally recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. Total contract liabilities consist of the following:

Sales returns and allowances aggregated $117,376 and $45,298 for the years ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Obligations for estimated sales returns and allowances are recognized at the time of sales on an accrual basis. The accrual is determined based upon historical return rates adjusted for known changes in key variables affecting these return rates.

Use of Estimates::

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of warrants, options, proceeds investment agreement and convertible debt, the recognition of revenue, inventory valuation reserve, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, incremental borrowing rate on leases, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

 

Cash and cash equivalents::

 

Cash and cash equivalents include funds on hand, in bank and short-term investments with original maturities of ninety (90) days or less.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with numerous major financial institutions. At September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the uninsured balance amounted to $38,152,40918,438,051 and $3,653,19229,836,142,, respectively.

Accounts Receivable:Receivable:

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a weekly basis. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. One individual customer receivable balances exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which totaled $558,729 or 24% and $319,000 or 19% of total accounts receivable, respectively.

 

Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than thirty (30) days beyond terms. No interest is charged on overdue trade receivables.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangibles:

 

Goodwill - In connection with acquisitions, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company has just recently completed several acquisitions that generated goodwill that will be subject to impairment testing for the first time on December 31, 2021.

 

Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill.

 

Traditionally, goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step one involves comparing the fair value of the reporting units to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-04 which simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value and recognized an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the reporting unit’s fair value.

 

The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows of each reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others.

 

Long-lived and Other Intangible Assets - The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the operating segment level.

 

Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows, if fair value is not available. The Company last assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of DecemberMarch 31, 20202022 and concluded that there was no impairment.

Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

Segments of Business:

Management has determined that, due to recent business acquisitions, its operations are comprised of three reportable segments: Digital Ally, TicketSmarter, and Nobility Healthcare. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales by segment were as follows:

SalesIntangible assets include deferred patent costs and license agreements. Legal expenses incurred in preparation of patent application have been deferred and will be amortized over the useful life of granted patents. Costs incurred in preparation of applications that are not granted will be charged to customers outside ofexpense at that time. The Company has entered into several sublicense agreements under which it has been assigned the United States are denominatedexclusive rights to certain licensed materials used in U.S. dollars. Allits products. These sublicense agreements generally require upfront payments to obtain the exclusive rights to such material. The Company capitalizes the upfront payments as intangible assets are physically located within the United States.and amortizes such costs over their estimated useful life on a straight-line method.

 

Recent Accounting PronouncementsSegment Reporting:

 

The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s 3operating segments are Video Solutions, Revenue Cycle Management, and Ticketing, each of which has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate expenses capture the Company’s corporate administrative activities, and is also to be reported in the segment information. The Company’s captive insurance subsidiary provides services to the Company’s other business segments and not to outside customers; however, that subsidiary had no activity in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Therefore, its operations will be eliminated in consolidation and it is not considered a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes.

Contingent Consideration

In June 2016,circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement that meets the definition of a liability under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards UpdateCodification (“ASU”ASC”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company recognizes a liability equal to improve information on credit losses for financial assetsthe fair value of the contingent payments the Company expects to make as of the acquisition date. The Company remeasures this liability each reporting period and net investmentrecords changes in leases that are not accounted for atthe fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology withconsolidated statement of operations.

Repurchase and Cancellation of Shares

From time to time, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may authorize share repurchases of common stock. Shares repurchased under Board authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes and cancelled when it is determined appropriate by management. The Company accounts for repurchases of common stock under the cost method. Shares repurchased and cancelled during the period were recorded as a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019,reduction to stockholders’ (deficit) equity.

New Accounting Standards

 

In 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments as the current accounting guidance was determined to be unnecessarily complex and difficult to navigate. The ASU primarily does three things: (1) The ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion feature model and the cash conversion model. The elimination of these models will result in more convertible instruments (convertible debt instruments or convertible preferred stock instruments) being reported as a single liability instrument. The ASU also makes targeted improvements to the related disclosures, (2) The ASU eliminates certain settlement conditions that are required to qualify for derivative scope exception which will allow for less equity contracts to be accounted for as a derivative and (3) The ASU aligns the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method and requiring share settlement be included in the calculation when the contract includes an option of cash or share settlement. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Management hasThe adoption of this standard did not early-adopted this new standardhave a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and continues to evaluate the impactresults of adopting ASU 2020-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements.operations.

 

In 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01 which represents a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and it clarifies certain items related to ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU (1) clarifies that when an entity is either applying the equity method or upon discontinuing the equity method it should consider observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment with the same issuer for valuing basis of the investment and (2) clarifies that when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options an entity should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. ASU No. 2020-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this update for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, with no material effect2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the financials.Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - simplifying the accounting for income taxes (Topic 740), which is meant to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendment also improves consistent application and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Warrant Derivative LiabilitiesIn June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.

15

 

ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
  
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities)
  
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value)

 

The following table represents the Company’s hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020:2021:

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 varied from the expected statutory rate due to the Company continuing to provide a 100% valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company determined that it was appropriate to continue the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, primarily because of the Company’s history of operating losses.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years, and it continues to be in a three-year cumulative loss position at September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Accordingly, the Company determined there was not sufficient positive evidence regarding its potential for future profits to outweigh the negative evidence of our three-year cumulative loss position under the guidance provided in ASC 740. Therefore, it determined to continue to provide a 100%100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize these assets. To the extent the Company determines that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. The Company has available to it approximately $7681.4 million (based on its December 31, 2021 tax return) in net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

NOTE 10.11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COVID-19 pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where we have offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners.

 

Like most US-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to impacthave impacts on our business in March 2020. BySince that time, muchthe COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global health and economic environment, including millions of the Company’s first fiscal quarter was completed. During the balance of 2020confirmed cases, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, changes in government spending and the first quarter of 2021, the Company observed recent decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily law-enforcementrequirements, regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and commercial customers. However, we are beginning to experience an increase in demand during the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020.

market volatility.

 

GivenWe operate within the fact thatcomplex integrated global supply chain for both vendors and customers. As the Company’s productsCOVID-19 pandemic dissipates at varying times and servicesrates in different regions around the world, there could be a prolonged negative impact on these global supply chains. Our ability to continue operations at specific facilities will be impacted by the interdependencies of the various participants of these global supply chains, which are sold throughlargely beyond our direct control. A prolonged shut down of these global supply chains could have a varietymaterial adverse effect on our business, results of distribution channels, the Company expects sales will experience more volatilityoperations, cash flows and financial condition.

If our suppliers have increased challenges with their workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism, reactions to health and safety or government requirements), facility closures, timely access to necessary components, materials and other supplies at reasonable prices, access to capital, and access to fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation), they may be unable to provide the changingagreed-upon goods and less predictable operational needsservices in a timely, compliant and cost-effective manner. We have incurred and may in the future incur additional costs and delays in our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of manyhigher prices, schedule delays or the need to identify and develop alternative suppliers. In some instances, we may be unable to identify and develop alternative suppliers, incurring additional liabilities under our current contracts and hampering new ones. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations and supply chains as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is aware that many companies, including many current suppliers and customers, are reportingpandemic, which can result in delayed, reduced, or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although the Company observed a slight increase in demand for products from certain customers during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company believes that the impact of the COVID-19 remains too fluid and unknown, hindering the Company from determining the long-term demand for current products. The Company also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may go through several phases of varying severity and duration.

19

In light of broader macro-economiccanceled orders, or collection risks, and already known impacts on certain industries that use the Company’s productswhich may adversely affect our results of operations. Similarly, current, and services, the Company has taken,future restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures or delays, and continues to take targeted steps to lower its operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on its operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within its control and are discussed in this and other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company does not expect there to be material changes to its assets onincreased border controls, delays or closures, can also impact our balance sheet or its ability to timely account for those assets. Further, in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Qmeet demand and the financial statements contained herein, the Company reviewed the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on goodwill and intangible assets and have determined there to be no material impact at this time. The Company has also reviewed the potential impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items.

To date, travel restrictions and border closures have notcould materially impacted its ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver products or services to customers. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm the business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain its ability to assist its customers and distributors as well as impact its ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present the Company does not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. The Company has taken steps to restrain and monitor its operating expenses and therefore it does not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues.

Like most companies, the Company has taken a range of actions with respect to how it operates to assure it comply with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of its employees and its ability to continue operating its business effectively. To date, the Company has been able to operate its business effectively using these measures and to maintain all internal controls as documented and posted. The Company also has not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and does not expect to incur material expenditures to do so. However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future.adversely affect us.

 

The actionsspread of COVID-19 caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures). To date, we have taken so far duringeased many of these modifications. However, we may in the future reinstitute the same or similar changes or take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Although we managed to continue most of our operations, the future course of the COVID-19 pandemic include, but areis uncertain and we cannot assure that this global pandemic, including its economic impact, will not limited to:

Requiring all employees who can work from home to work from home;
Increasing its IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office; and
For employees who must perform essential functions in one of its offices:
Having employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from other employees whenever possible;
Having employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk all employees who perform similar tasks might become infected by COVID-19;
Having employees stay segregated from other employees in the office with whom they require no interaction; and
Requiring unvaccinated employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever possible.

The Company currently believes revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 will still be impacted due to the conditions noted. In April 2020, the Company implementedhave a COVID-19 mitigation plan designed to further reduce its operating expenses during the pandemic. Actions taken to date include work hour and salary reductions for senior management. These cost reductions are in addition to the significant restructuring actions which the Company continues to implement and develop throughout. Basedmaterial adverse impact on the Company’s current cash position, its projected cash flow from operations and its cost reduction and cost containment efforts to date, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital and or have access to sufficient capital through public and private equity and debt offerings to sustain operations for a period of one year following the date of this filing. If business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic were to be prolonged or expanded in scope, theour business, financial condition,position, results of operations andand/or cash flows would be negatively impacted. The Company will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity.flows.

Litigation.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 reevaluatere-evaluate and update accruals as matters progress over time.

 

While the ultimate resolution isresolutions are unknown, based on the information currently available, we do not expect that these lawsuits will individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect to our results of operations, financial condition and 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.

The Plans allow for the cashless exercise of stock options. This provision allows the option holder to surrender/cancel options with an intrinsic value equivalent to the purchase/exercise price of other options exercised. There were no shares surrendered pursuant to cashless exercises during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $2,750 and $-0-, at March 31, 2022 and theDecember 31, 2021, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $1,375 and $-0-, at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the unrecognized portion of stock compensation expense on all existing stock options was $350,123127,814 and will be recognized over the next 3. months.

NOTE 12.13. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

 

The Company has issued common stock purchase warrants in conjunction with various debt and equity issuances. The warrants are either immediately exercisable or have a delayed initial exercise date, no more than six months from their respective issue date and allow the holders to purchase up to 26,808,598 25,841,931shares of common stock at $2.60to $5.00 3.75per share as of September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The warrants expire from DecemberJune 30, 20212022 through September 18, 2026and under certain circumstances allow for cashless exercise.

 

On January 14, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000shares of Common Stock.common stock. The warrants issued on January 14, 2021 consist of (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,200,000 shares of common stock and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants issued on February 1, 2021 consist of (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,050,000 shares of common stock and (ii) common stock purchase warrants (“February Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,300,000 shares of common stock. The warrant terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company under certain circumstances in the event of tender offers. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Furthermore, the Company revaluesre-values the fair value of warrant derivative liability as of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned to equity.change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities through the consolidated statement of operations.

 

On August 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Investorscertain investors cancelling February Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 7,681,540shares of Common Stockcommon stock in consideration for its issuance of (i) new warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to the Investorssuch investors, exercisable for an aggregate of up to 7,681,540shares of Common Stock.common stock. The Company also issued warrants (the “Replacement Original Warrants”) replacing the February Warrants for the remaining shares of Common Stockcommon stock exercisable thereunder, representing an aggregate of 6,618,460shares of Common Stock,common stock, and extended the expiration date of the February Warrants to September 18, 2026.2026. The Exchange Warrants provide for an initial exercise price of $3.25per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder, and are immediately exercisable upon issuance for cash and on a cashless basis. On the date of the exchange, the Company calculated the fair value, using the Black-Scholes method, of the cancelled February Warrants and the newly issued Exchange Warrants, the difference in fair value measurement of the respective warrants was attributed to warrant modification expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

On the date of the exchange, the cancelled February Warrants and Exchange Warrants were valued at $11,818,644 and $12,114,424 using the original and modified expiry date of the warrants, respectively, using the Black-Scholes method. The difference of $295,780 was accordingly recorded as a warrant modification expense in the consolidated statement of operations during 2021.

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

 

The Company has utilized the following assumptions in its Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the estimated fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities as of their date of issuance and as of September 30, 2021:March 31, 2022:

Exercise price $2.80 - 3.25  $3.25 
Common stock issuable under the warrants  42,550,000   24,300,000 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, holders of pre-funded warrants exercised a total of 18,250,000 warrants which were fair valued at $1,817,549 at their date of issuance and recorded as a derivative warrant liability. On the date of exercise such pre-funded warrants were fair valued at zero, which was transitioned to permanent equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company reported the $1,817,549 change in fair value from their issuance date to their exercise date in the condensed statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities.

NOTE 18. SEGMENT DATA

The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Video Solutions, Revenue Cycle Management, and Ticketing, each of which has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate expenses capture the Company’s corporate administrative activities, and is also to be reported in the segment information. The Company’s captive insurance subsidiary provides services to the Company’s other business segments and not to outside customers. Therefore, its operations are eliminated in consolidation and it is not considered a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes.

The Video Solutions Segment encompasses our law, commercial, and shield divisions. This segment includes both service and product revenues through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and health safety solutions. The Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country, as a monthly service fee. The Ticketing Segment acts as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com, and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms.

The Company’s corporate administration activities are reported in the corporate line item. These activities primarily include expense related to certain corporate officers and support staff, certain accounting staff, expense related to the Company’s Board of Directors, stock option expense for options granted to corporate administration employees, certain consulting expenses, investor relations activities, and a portion of the Company’s legal, auditing and professional fee expenses. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, invested cash (if any), refundable income taxes (if any), and deferred income taxes.

We introduced the EVO-HD product in the second quarter of 2019further diversified and began full-scale deliveries in the third quarter 2019, which continued through 2020 and into 2021. The EVO-HD is designed and built on a new and highly advanced technology platform that will become the platform for a new family of in-car video solution products for the law enforcement and commercial markets. We believe that the launch of these new products will help to reinvigorate our in-car and body-worn systems revenues while diversifying and broadening the market forbroadened our product offerings. Additionally, we introducedofferings in 2020, by introducing two new lines of branded products: (1) the ThermoVu®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. We began offering our Shield™ disinfectants and cleansers to our law enforcement and commercial customers late in the second quarter of 2020.

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.

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.

To judge the health of our video solutions segment, we review the current active subscriptions and deferred service revenues, along with the quantity and gross margins generated by our video solutions hardware sales.

ThermoVu®ThermoVu™ has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu®ThermoVu™ provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature display and controls access to facilities based on such results. We believe that it can be widelyThermoVuTM has been applied in schools, dental office, hospitals, office buildings, subway stations, airports and other public venues.

 In general, we haveour video solutions operating segment has experienced pressure on ourits 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 duringover the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the sameprior period in 2020,due to price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. We introduced our EVO-HD latenew body-worn cameras, the FirstVu Pro and FirstVu II, in the secondfourth quarter of 2019 with the goal of enhancing our product line features to meet these competitive challenges and2021, as we startedhave begun to see increased traction with these products in late 2019 but sales in 2020 were hampered duethe first quarter of 2022. The Company hopes the interest throughout the marketplace continues to grow for these new products as the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect customers and potential customersmarket is able to review and test the EVO-HD prior to committing to thisthese new product platform, all of which has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced continued interest in our EVO-HD, which resulted in increased revenues during the third quarter of 2021 and believe that customers are recognizing and are attracted to its advanced features.products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to delay the shipment of certain law enforcement orders since the first quarter of 2020 as police forces and governments deal with its impact. In addition, our salesmen were generally unable to meet with and demonstrate our products to our law enforcement customers because of travel and other restrictions imposed by cities and states due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In person demonstration of our products to potential customers is generally important in order to obtain new customers or upgrade existing customers. Our product sales to law enforcement decreased in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic impact remains relevant, as the shipment of commercial orders in the third quarter of 2021 remain slow, as cruise lines, taxi cabs, paratransit and other commercial customers continue to deal with its impact. In addition, our salesmen were generally unable to meet with and demonstrate our products to our commercial customers because of travel and other restrictions imposed by cities and states due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In person demonstration of our products to potential customers is generally required in order to obtain new customers or upgrade existing customers. Our product sales to commercial customers decreased in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 ManagementOur video solutions operating segment management has been focusing on migrating customers, and in particular commercial customers, from a “hardware sale”hardware sale to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in commercial hardware sales (principally DVM-250’s, FLT-250’s, and our body-worn camera line) as we convert these customers to a service model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service.service fee. In that respect, we introduced in the second quarter of 2020 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. We have noticed significant interestThis program has continued to gain traction, resulting in decreased product revenues and success with this program, as we experienced a vast increase inincreasing our subscription contracts during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.service revenues. We expect this program to continue to hold traction, resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years.

The decrease in cost of goods sold for our video solutions segment products is due to numerous factors in the period during 2020 that were not relevant to the same period in 2021. In the 2020 period, the Company experienced a move to its new warehouse facility, and a significant manufacturing slow down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic causing unfavorable overhead and labor variances for production in the second quarter of 2020, which management had decided to expense as a period cost.

In addition, a return to regular staff levelsMarch 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2020, during which period2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in administrative salaries, as payroll continues to increase with the Company experienced a reduction in technical support staffing in response tonew acquisition completed by the COVID-19 pandemic during the third quarter of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly impacted the Company’s new event security business channel in 2020 as many sporting venues were closed including those served by these service technicians. Additionally, this trend is expected to continue because of the acquisitions completed during the three months ended September 30, 2021, which resulted in additional payroll expenses with expanded executive positions, sales,Company. General and administrative staff numbers comparedexpense also increased due to 2020.

Other. Other selling, generala substantial increase in depreciation and administrativeamortization, rent expenses, totaled $2,006,914 and $1,248,107legal and professional expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $758,807 (61%). The increase in other expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily attributable to the increased expenses related to the acquisitions, and associated operating expenses, completed during three months ended September 30, 2021, that were not relevant to the same period of 2020. Additionally, an increase in travel costs as COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease, as well as substantially increased insurance costs compared to the same period in 2020. The increased insurance costs are primarily in general liability and related coverages which premiums have been increased to address exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic.2021.

Interest Expense

 

We incurred interest expense of $5,675$17,009 and $4,940$1,428 during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. The increase was attributable to utilizing a portion of the net proceeds from the registered direct offerings to eliminate substantially all interest-bearing debt balances outstanding in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. On May 12, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in additional loan funding under the Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Under the terms of the EIDL promissory note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the EIDL promissory note is thirty years and monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement and total $731.00 per month thereafter. Additionally, the increase is attributable to the contingent earn-out notes associated with the twofour Nobility Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $1,000,000 between$1,762,064 for the twofour notes, with interest rates of 3.00% per annum.

Change in Fair Value of Proceeds Investment Agreement

We recorded a gain representing the change in fair value of proceeds investment agreement (the “PIA”) totaling $-0- and $2,365,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We elected to account for the PIA that we entered into with Brickell Key Investments LP (“BKI”) in July of 2018 on its fair value basis. Therefore, we determined the fair value of the 2018 PIA as of September 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020 to be $-0- and $3,615,000, respectively. The change in fair value from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020 was $3,615,000, which was recognized as a gain in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Change in Fair Value of Short-Term Investments

 

We recognized a loss on change in fair value of short-term investments totaling $21,656$84,818 and $-0-$4,964 during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. Such short-term investments are included in cash and cash equivalents as they contain original maturities of ninety (90) days or less. The Company completed two registered direct offerings in the first quarter of 2021, which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million, a portion of which was invested in short-term securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Promissory Notes

 

During 2021, the Company issued a contingent consideration promissory note in connection with the two acquisitions made by our revenue cycle management segment in the amount of $350,000 and $650,000. Management’s estimate of the fair value of the $350,000 contingent promissory note at March 31, 2022 decreased by $51,464 compared to its estimated fair value at December 31, 2021. Management’s estimate of the fair value of the $650,000 contingent promissory note at March 31, 2022 increased by $107,514 compared to its estimated fair value at December 31, 2021. Therefore, the Company recorded a net loss of $56,050 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

 

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,00042,500,000 shares of Common Stock in association with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from June 30,December 31, 2021, to September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, totaled $11,585,204$148,171 which was recognized as a gain in the thirdfirst quarter of 2021.2022. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of their issuance date,December 31, 2021, and as of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, to be $51,216,058$14,846,932 and $17,942,019,$14,698,761, respectively.

As a result of the above, we reported a net incomeincome/(loss) attributable to common stockholders of $8,068,799($6,600,148) and $527,442$21,721,858 for the years three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, an improvement of $7,541,357 (1,430%).

Basic and Diluted Income per Share

Basic and diluted income per share was $0.16 and $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive, and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted income per share.

Revenues

We sell our video recording products and services to law enforcement and commercial customers in the following manner:

Product sales to domestic customers are made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency or a commercial customer) through its sales force, which is composed of its employees. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
Product sales to international customers are made through independent distributors who purchase products from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor generally maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Accordingly, upon application of steps one through five above, 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 its inside customer service employees. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the repair parts and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer.
Service sales through Nobility Healthcare are driven through relationships with medium to large healthcare organizations, in which revenue is recognized upon execution of services. Through TicketSmarter, service sales 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.

We may discount our prices on specific orders based upon the size of the order, the specific customer and the competitive landscape.

Nobility Healthcare offers leading-edge revenue cycle management solutions to medium and large healthcare organizations throughout the country. Nobility Healthcare’s customers are spread across a wide range of practices and specialties, including radiology, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics, internal medicine, and cardiology.

TicketSmarter is a ticket resale marketplace with seats offered at over 125,000 live events, with over 48 million tickets for sale through its TicketSmarter.com platform. TicketSmarter is committed to developing meaningful relationships with conferences, teams, and charities across the country.

The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on all of our revenue streams during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and we expect it to adversely affect our revenues during the remainder of 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact generally on our legacy products and, in particular our commercial event recorder hardware (DVM-250 Plus) and in-car hardware for law enforcement (DVM-800) during the quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact generally on our new ShieldTM disinfectant/sanitizer and ThermoVU® product lines.

Revenues for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were derived from the following sources:

  Nine months ended September 30,

Product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $4,988,364 and $5,778,695 respectively, which is an increase of $790,331 (14%), due to the following factors:

The Company generated revenues totaling over $244,982 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $1,182,513 for the same period in 2020 from its new product lines. Late in the second quarter of 2020, the Company launched two product lines in direct response to the increased safety precautions that organizations and individuals are taking due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ThermoVu® was launched as a non-contact temperature-screening instrument that measures temperature through the wrist and controls entry to facilities when temperature measurements exceed pre-determined parameters. ThermoVu® has optional features such as facial recognition to improve facility security by restricting access based on temperature and/or facial recognition reasons. ThermoVu® provides an instant pass/fail audible tone with its temperature display and controls access to facilities based on such results. We believe that it can be widely applied in schools, office buildings, subway stations, airports and other public venues. The Company also launched its Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer product lines to fulfill demand by current customers and others for a disinfectant and sanitizer that is less harsh than many of the traditional products now widely distributed. The Shield™ Cleanser product line contains a cleanser with no harsh chemicals or fumes.

The Company began offering the Shield™ line of disinfecting products to its first responder customers including police, fire and paramedics late in the second quarter of 2020. Commercial customers such as cruise lines, taxi-cab and para transit may also be good candidates for the products. The Company is considering enhancing the line of disinfectant products for additional related products including hardware to efficiently and effectively dispense the disinfectants. The Company is hopeful that its law enforcement and commercial customers will adopt this new product offering to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus as well as other bacteria and viruses.

In general, we have experienced pressure on our 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 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, due to price-cutting and competitive actions by our competitors, adverse marketplace effects related to our patent litigation proceedings and our recent financial condition. We introduced our EVO-HD late in the second quarter of 2019 with the goal of enhancing our product line features to meet these competitive challenges and we started to see traction in late 2019 but sales in 2020 were hampered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect customers and potential customers to review and test the EVO-HD prior to committing to this new product platform, all of which has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced substantial increases in EVO-HD revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and believe that customers are recognizing and are attracted to its advanced features.

43

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to delay the shipment of certain law enforcement orders since the first quarter of 2020 as police forces and governments deal with its impact. In addition, our salesmen were generally unable to meet with and demonstrate our products to our law enforcement customers because of travel and other restrictions imposed by cities and states due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In person demonstration of our products to potential customers is generally important in order to obtain new customers or upgrade existing customers. Our product sales to law enforcement increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak.

The COVID-19 pandemic impact remains relevant, as the shipment of commercial orders during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 remain slow, as cruise lines, taxi cabs, paratransit and other commercial customers continue to deal with its impact. In addition, our salesmen were generally unable to meet with and demonstrate our products to our commercial customers because of travel and other restrictions imposed by cities and states due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In person demonstration of our products to potential customers is generally required in order to obtain new customers or upgrade existing customers. Our product sales to commercial customers increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Management has been focusing on migrating customers, from a “hardware sale” to a service fee model. Therefore, we expect a reduction in hardware sales as we convert these customers to a service model under which we provide the hardware as part of a recurring monthly service. In that respect, in the second quarter of 2020 we introduced a monthly subscription plan for our body worn cameras and related equipment that allowed law enforcement agencies to pay a monthly service fee to obtain body worn cameras without incurring a significant upfront capital outlay. We have noticed significant interest and success with this program, as we experienced a vast increase in our subscription contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. We expect this program continues to hold traction, resulting in recurring revenues over a span of three to five years

Service and other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $4,680,959 and $1,967,881, respectively, which is an increase of $2,713,078 (138%), due to the following factors:

Cloud revenues were $753,332 and $725,667 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $27,665 (4%). We have experienced increased interest in our cloud solutions for law enforcement primarily due to the deployment of our new cloud-based EVO-HD in-car system. However, the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and related business shut-downs affected our commercial customers usage of cloud services and offset increases in cloud revenues.
Revenues from extended warranty services were $786,147 and $990,961 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is a decrease of $204,814 (21%). We have many customers that have purchased extended warranty packages, primarily in our DVM-800 premium service program. However, the affects from the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on travel adversely affected our sales of DVM-800 hardware systems resulting in a decrease in their sales over the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Installation service revenues were $141,618 and $137,856 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $3,762 (3%). Installation revenues tend to vary more than other service revenue types and are dependent on larger customer implementations. The slight increase in installation revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period 2020 was attributable to the resumption of previous projects pending install due to the effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

44

Revenues from building rental income were $290,012 and $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $290,012 (100%). The Company completed the purchase of an office/warehouse building during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, in which current tenants were under a lease agreement. The agreement closed at the end of August 2021.
Revenues from TicketSmarter services were $2,050,679 and $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $2,050,679 (100%). The Company completed the acquisitions of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC on September 1, 2021, thus resulting in the new revenue stream for the Company. TicketSmarter collects fees on transactions administered through the TicketSmarter.com platform for the buying and selling of tickets for live events throughout the country. This increase reflects just one month of revenues within the new wholly-owned subsidiary, presenting a strong outlook moving forward.
Revenues from Nobility Healthcare services were $560,484 and $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of $560,484 (100%). The Company completed the acquisitions of the first medical billing company on June 30, 2021 and the second medical billing company on August 31, 2021, thus resulting in the new revenue stream added in the third quarter of 2021 for the Company. Nobility Healthcare provided revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services to healthcare organizations throughout the country. This increase reflects three months of the first medical billing company revenues and just one month of the second medical billing company revenues within the new wholly-owned subsidiary, presenting a strong outlook moving forward.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $9,669,323 and $7,746,576, respectively, which is an increase of $1,922,747 (25%), due to the reasons noted above.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of product revenue on units sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $3,776,185 and $4,332,450, respectively, which is a decrease of $556,265 (13%). The decrease in cost of goods sold for products is due to numerous factors in the period during 2020 that were not relevant to the same period in 2021. In the 2020 period, the Company experienced a move to its new warehouse facility, and a significant manufacturing slow down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic causing unfavorable overhead and labor variances for production in the second quarter of 2020, which management had decided to expense as a period cost. For the same period in 2021, the Company did not experience these factors, but further reduced the inventory reserve. Additionally, the decrease in cost of product revenues correlates directly with the decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Cost of service and other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $2,419,884 and $533,690, respectively, which is an increase of $1,886,194 (353%). The increase in service and other cost of goods sold is due to the expansion in service revenue streams through the acquisitions and in particular the TicketSmarter acquisition completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of which would not be relevant for comparison to the same period in 2020. Our cost of service revenues as a percentage of revenues generated by TicketSmarter and the Nobility Healthcare are at a much higher percentage than our traditional law enforcement/commercial video sales. TicketSmarter and the Nobility Healthcare revenues represented 28% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 which resulted in a substantially higher cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the 2020 period.

Total cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We believe our gross margins will improve during the remainder of 2021 if we can increase revenues (in particular service and other revenues), shipping costs moderate and continue to reduce product warranty issues.

We had $2,300,019 and $1,960,351 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $3,068,418 and $3,186,426 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, a decreasedeterioration of 118,008 (4%$28,322,006 (130.4%). Finished goods balances were $10,827,344 and $6,974,291 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, an increase of $3,853,053 (55%). The slight increase in the inventory reserve is primarily due to scrapping of older version inventory component parts that were mostly or fully reserved during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The remaining reserve for inventory obsolescence is generally provided for the level of component parts of the older versions of our PCB boards and the phase out of our DVM-750, DVM-500 Plus and LaserAlly legacy products. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels at September 30, 2021.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $3,473,254 and $2,880,436, respectively, which is an increase of $592,818 (21%). The increase is commensurate with the 25% increase in total revenues and the gross margin percentage decrease to 36% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 37% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our goal is to improve our margins over the longer-term based on the expected margins of our recent healthcare billing and TicketSmarter acquisitions together with our traditional video business including sales traction from our EVO-HD, DVM-800, VuLink and FirstVU HD and our cloud evidence storage and management offering if they gain traction in the marketplace and subject to a normalizing economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, if revenues from these products increase, we will seek to further improve our margins from them through economies of scale and more efficiently utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components. We plan to continue our initiative to more efficient management of our supply chain through outsourcing production, quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices. Lastly, we will continue to seek to further improve our margins through sensible and advantageous acquisitions as evidenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12,554,807 and $8,794,912 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $3,543,513 (40%). The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses are as follows:

Other  4,961,544   3,146,029 
         
Total $12,554,807  $8,794,912 

Research and development expense. We continue to focus on bringing new products to market, including updates and improvements to current products. Our research and development expenses totaled $1,402,185 and $1,250,528 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $151,657 (12%). Most of our engineers are dedicated to research and development activities for new products, primarily the ThermoVu®, ShieldTM, EVO-HD, FirstVu II and non-mirror based DVM-250 that can be located in multiple places in a vehicle. We expect our research and development activities will continue to trend higher in future quarters as we continue to expand our product offerings based on our new EVO-HD product platform and as we outsource more development projects. We consider our research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and intend to continue to invest in this area on a prudent basis and consistent with our financial resources.

Selling, advertising and promotional expenses. Selling, advertising and promotional expense totaled $2,978,620 and $1,958,884 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $1,019,736 (52%). The increase primarily reflects the impact of our recent acquisition of TicketSmarter which relies heavily on digital advertising to promote the use of its ticketing services. TicketSmarter is expected to remain very involved in digital promotional and advertising space, as it is necessary to its recognition and customer trust, being a part of the live event and sports realm.

Salesman salaries and commissions represent the primary components of these costs and were $1,301,165 and $1,289,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is a, increase of $11,466 (1%). The effective commission rate was 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 16.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Promotional and advertising expenses totaled $1,677,455 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $669,185 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which is an increase of $1,008,270 (151%). The increase is primarily attributable to NASCAR and IndyCar seasons resuming in the 2021, as they were conversely suspended during the same period in 2020. Additionally, trade shows are beginning to take place in the second quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2020, when they were suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

46

Professional fees and expense. Professional fees and expenses totaled $1,008,290 and $701,602 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $306,688 (44%). The increase in professional fees is primarily attributable to increased legal fees surrounding the two registered direct offerings during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, along with increased legal and broker fees associated with the Company’s numerous acquisitions during the period, paired with other current due diligence items and opportunities the Company is exploring. Additionally, increased board fees, audit fees, and service fees attribute to this increase.

Executive, sales and administrative staff payroll. Executive, sales and administrative staff payroll expenses totaled $2,204,168 and $1,737,869 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $466,299 (27%). The primary reason for the increase in executive, sales and administrative staff payroll was the recent acquisitions of the medical billing companies and TicketSmarter which occurred in 2021 and therefore had no impact on 2020 expenses. In addition, a return to regular staff levels compared to the same period in 2020, in which the Company experienced a reduction in technical support staffing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly impacted the Company’s new event security business channel in 2020 as many sporting venues were closed including those served by these service technicians. Additionally, this trend is expected to continue because of the acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which resulted in additional payroll expenses with expanded executive positions, sales, and administrative staff numbers compared to 2020. Additionally, the acquisitions completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, resulted in additional payroll expenses with expanded executive positions, sales, and administrative staff numbers.

Other. Other selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,961,544 and $1,985,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $2,976,346 (150%). The increase in other expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 is primarily attributable to the increased expenses related to the acquisitions, and associated operating expenses, completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, that were not relevant to the same period of 2020. Additionally, an increase in travel costs as COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease, as well as substantially increased insurance costs compared to the same period in 2020. The increased insurance costs are primarily in general liability and related coverages which premiums have been increased to address exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating Loss

For the reasons stated above, our operating loss was $9,081,553 and $5,914,476 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which is an increase of $3,167,077 (54%). Operating loss as a percentage of revenues worsened to 94% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 76% in the same period in 2020.

Interest Income

Interest income increased to $222,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $33,208 in the same period of 2020, which reflected our increase in cash and cash equivalent levels in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The Company completed two registered direct offerings in the nine months ended June 30, 2021 which yielded net proceeds of approximately $66.4 million which balances have earned increased interest income when compared to the same period in 2020. Additionally, this increase is a result of interest incurred on debt that the Company has issued, as well as interest incurred on leased products.

Interest Expense

We incurred interest expense of $8,466 and $338,136 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was attributable to utilizing a portion of the net proceeds from the registered direct offerings to eliminate substantially all interest-bearing debt balances outstanding in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. On May 12, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in additional loan funding under the Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) program administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Under the terms of the EIDL promissory note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the EIDL promissory note is thirty years and monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement and total $731.00 per month thereafter. Additionally, the increase is attributable to the contingent earn-out notes associated with the two Nobility Healthcare acquisitions, currently at a total balance of $1,000,000 between the two notes, with interest rates of 3.00% per annum.

Accordingly, we were required to expense the related issuance costs to other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such costs totaled $34,906 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The issuance costs primarily included related legal and accounting fees. No similar debt issuances occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

We elected to account for the secured convertible notes that were issued on April 17, 2020 on their fair value basis. Therefore, we determined the fair value of the secured convertible notes as of their issuance date of April 17, 2020 and through June 12, 2020, when they were paid in full. The change in fair value from their issuance date of April 17, 2020 to their pay-off date was $887,807, which was recognized as a charge in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We recognized a gain on the change in fair value of the PIA of $-0- and $5,250,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We elected to account for the PIA that we entered into with BKI in July of 2018 on its fair value basis. Therefore, we determined the fair value of the 2018 PIA as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 to be $-0- and $5,250,000, respectively. The change in fair value from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020 was $5,250,000, which was recognized as a gain in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000 shares of Common Stock in association with the two registered direct offerings previously described. The underlying warrant agreement terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company in the event of tender offers under certain circumstances. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities from their issuance date to September 30, 2021 totaled $33,274,039 which was recognized as a gain in the period ended September 30, 2021. The Company determined the fair value of such warrants as of their issuance date, and as of September 30, 2021, to be $51,216,058 and $17,942,019, respectively.

We have further determined to continue providing a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2021. We had approximately $76,070,000 of net operating loss carryforwards and $1,795,000 of research and development tax credit carryforwards as of September 30, 2021 available to offset future net taxable income.

Management’s Liquidity Plan.

2020 Small Business Administration Notes.

On May 4, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note in connection with the receipt of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan of $1,418,900 (the “PPP Loan”) under the SBA’s PPP Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan had a two-year term and bore interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments were deferred for nine months after the date of disbursement and totaled $79,851 per month thereafter. The PPP Loan could have been prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note contained events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The PPP provides that the PPP Loan may be partially or wholly forgiven if the funds are used for certain qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. The Company used the majority of the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan and December 10, 2020, the Company was fully forgiven of its $1,418,900 PPP Loan. Additionally, the Company was fully forgiven, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of its $10,000 EIDL advance received with the PPP Loan.

5251

 

On May 12, 2020, the Company received $150,000 in loan funding from the SBA under the EIDL program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a secured promissory note, dated May 8, 2020, in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender.

Under the terms of the note issued under the EIDL program, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of such note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under such note. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for twelve months after the date of disbursement and total $731 per month thereafter. Such note may be prepaid in part or in full, at any time, without penalty. The Company granted the secured party a continuing interest in and to any and all collateral, including but not limited to tangible and intangible personal property.

Medical Billing Company Contingent Consideration Promissory Note Payable.

On June 30, 2021, Nobility Healthcare issued a Contingent Consideration Promissory Note (the “Note”) in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement between Nobility and a private medical billing company of $350,000. The Note has a three-year term and bears interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum. Quarterly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months and is due in equal quarterly installments on the seventh business day of each quarter. The principal amount of the Note is subject to an earn-out adjustment, being the difference between the $975,000 (the “Note Projected Revenue”) and the cash basis revenue (the “Note Measurement Period Revenue”) collected by the Seller in its normal course of business from the clients existing on June 30, 2021, during the period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 (the “Note Measurement Period”) measured on a quarterly basis and annualized as of the relevant period. If the Note Measurement Period Revenue is less than the Note Projected Revenue, such amount will be subtracted from the principal balance of this Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the Note Measurement Period Revenue is more than the Note Projected Revenue, such amount will be added to the principal balance of this Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In no event will the principal balance of this Note become a negative number. The maximum downward earn-out adjustment to the principal balance will be to zero. There are no limits to the increases to the principal balance of the Note as a result of the earn-out adjustments.

The contingent consideration promissory note is considered to be additional purchase price, therefore the estimated fair value of the contingent liability is recorded as a liability at the acquisition date and the fair value is considered part of the consideration paid for the acquisition. Management has recorded this Note at its estimated fair value of $350,000 at the acquisition date. Management will continue to estimate the fair value of this Note at each reporting date with the change, if any recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations during the relevant period.

Medical Billing Company Contingent Consideration Promissory Note Payable.

On August 31, 2021, Nobility Healthcare issued a contingent consideration promissory note (the “Contingent Note”) in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement between Nobility and a private medical billing company of $650,000. The Contingent Note has a three-year term and bears interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum. Quarterly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months and is due in equal quarterly installments on the seventh business day of each quarter. The principal amount of the Contingent Note is subject to an earn-out adjustment, being the difference between the $3,000,000 (the “Contingent Note Projected Revenue”) and the cash basis revenue (the “Contingent Note Measurement Period Revenue”) collected by the Seller in its normal course of business from the clients existing on September 1, 2021, during the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022 (the “Contingent Note Measurement Period”) measured on a quarterly basis and annualized as of the relevant period. If the Contingent Note Measurement Period Revenue is less than the Contingent Note Projected Revenue, such amount will be subtracted from the principal balance of this Contingent Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the Contingent Note Measurement Period Revenue is more than the Contingent Note Projected Revenue, such amount will be added to the principal balance of this Contingent Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. In no event will the principal balance of this Contingent Note become a negative number. The maximum downward earn-out adjustment to the principal balance will be to zero. There are no limits to the increases to the principal balance of the Contingent Note as a result of the earn-out adjustments.

53

The contingent consideration promissory note is considered to be additional purchase price, therefore the estimated fair value of the contingent liability is recorded as a liability at the acquisition date and the fair value is considered part of the consideration paid for the acquisition. Management has recorded this Contingent Note at its estimated fair value of $650,000 at the acquisition date. Management will continue to estimate the fair value of this Contingent Note at each reporting date with the change, if any recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations during the relevant period.

TicketSmarter Contingent Consideration Earn-Out Agreement

On September 1, 2021, TicketSmarter issued a contingent consideration ern-out agreement (the “TicketSmarter Earn-Out”) in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement between TicketSmarter, Inc., Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC of $4,244,400. The TicketSmarter Earn-Out, if earned, will be payable with ninety percent (90%) readily available funds and ten percent (10%) in stock consideration. The amount of the TicketSmarter Earn-Out is subject to an earn-out adjustment, being the difference between the $2,896,829 (the “Projected EBITDA”) and the actual EBITDA the “Measurement Period EBITDA”) generated by TicketSmarter in its normal course of business, during the period from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. If the Measurement Period EBITDA is less than seventy percent (70%) of the Projected EBITDA, there will be zero contingent payment. If the Measurement Period EBITDA is between seventy percent (70%) and one hundred percent (100%) of the Projected EBITDA, then a fractional amount of the contingent payment will be paid out. If the Measurement Period EBITDA is more than the Projected EBITDA, the full balance of this TicketSmarter Earn-Out will be paid out. In no event will the principal balance of this TicketSmarter Earn-Out become a negative number. The maximum downward earn-out adjustment to the principal balance will reduce the TicketSmarter Earn-Out balance to zero.

The contingent consideration earn-out is considered to be additional purchase price, therefore the estimated fair value of the contingent liability is recorded as a liability at the acquisition date and the fair value is considered part of the consideration paid for the acquisition. Management has recorded the TicketSmarter Earn-Out at its estimated fair value of $4,244,400 at the acquisition date. Management will continue to estimate the fair value of this TicketSmarter Earn-Out at each reporting date with the change, if any recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations during the relevant period.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our consolidated financial statements. While the selection and application of any accounting policy may involve some level of subjective judgments and estimates, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to our financial statements, potentially involve the most subjective judgments in their selection and application, and are the most susceptible to uncertainties and changing conditions:

 

 Revenue Recognition / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts;
   
 Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory;
   
 Goodwill and other intangible assets;
Warranty Reserves;
   
 

Goodwill impairment

Fair value of warrant derivative liabilities;
   
 Stock-based Compensation Expense;
Fair value of warrants;
Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; and
   
 Accounting for Income Taxes.

 

5452

 

 

Revenue Recognition / Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Revenue is recognized for the shipment of products or delivery of service when all five of the following conditions are met:

 

 (i)Identify the contract with the customer;
   
 (ii)Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
   
 (iii)Determine the transaction price;
   
 (iv)Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
   
 (v)Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

We consider the terms and conditions of the contract and our customary business practices in identifying our contracts under ASC 606. We determine we have a contract when the customer order is approved, we can identify each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred, we can identify the payment terms for the services, we have determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay and the contract has commercial substance. At contract inception we evaluate whether the contract includes more than one performance obligation. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services and the products that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services and the products is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our performance obligations consist of (i) products, (ii) professional services, and (iii) extended warranties.

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component.

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”).

 

Revenue for our video solutions segment is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the promised service to a customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the service is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for our services. We generate all our revenue from contracts with customers.

Revenue for our revenue cycle management segment is recorded on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to end service fees. These service fees are reported as revenue monthly upon completion of our performance obligation to provide the agreed upon services.

Revenue for our ticketing segment is recorded on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether we are acting as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination is based upon the evaluation of control over the event ticket, including the right to sell the ticket, prior to its transfer to the ticket buyer.

We sell our tickets held in inventory, which consists of one performance obligation, being to transfer control of an event ticket to the buyer upon confirmation of the order. We act as the principal in these transactions as we own the ticket at the time of sale, therefore we control the ticket prior to transferring to the customer. In these transactions, revenue is recorded on a gross basis based on the value of the ticket and is recognized when an order is confirmed. Payment is typically due upon delivery of the ticket.

53

We also act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers through the online secondary marketplace. Revenues derived from this marketplace primarily consist of service fees from ticketing operations, and consists of one primary performance obligation, which is facilitating the transaction between the buyer and seller, being satisfied at the time the order has been confirmed. As we do not control the ticket prior to the transfer, we act as an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, net of the amount due to the seller when an order is confirmed, the seller is then obligated to deliver the tickets to the buyer per the seller’s listing. Payment is due at the time of sale.

 

We review all significant, unusual, or nonstandard shipments of product or delivery of services as a routine part of our accounting and financial reporting process to determine compliance with these requirements. Extended warranties are offered on selected products, and when a customer purchases an extended warranty, the associated proceeds are treated as contract liability and recognized over the term of the extended warranty.

 

OurFor our video solutions segment, our principal customers are state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies, which historically have been low risks for uncollectible accounts. However, we have commercial customers and international distributors that present a greater risk for uncollectible accounts than such law enforcement customers and we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. Our historical bad debts have been negligible, with less than $258,000 charged off as uncollectible on cumulative revenues of $246.1$248.0 million since we commenced deliveries during 2006. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had provided a reserve for doubtful accounts of $123,224 and $123,224, respectively.

 

We periodically performFor our ticketing segment, our customers are mainly online visitors that pay at the time of the transaction, and we collect the service fees charged with the transaction. Thus, leading to minimal risk for uncollectible accounts, to which we then consider a specific review of significant individual receivables outstanding for risk of loss due to uncollectability. Based on such review, we consider our reserve for doubtful accounts to be adequate as of September 30, 2021. However, should the balance due from any significant customer ultimately become uncollectible then our allowance for bad debts will not be sufficientbased on their individual circumstances. As we continue to coverlearn more about the charge-off andcollectability related to this recent acquisition, we will be requiredtrack historical bad debts and continue to record additional bad debt expense in our statement of operations.assess appropriate reserves.

 

55

For our revenue cycle management segment, our customers are mainly medium to large healthcare organizations that are charged monthly upon the execution of our services. Being these customers are healthcare organizations with minimal risk for uncollectible accounts, we consider a specific reserve for bad debts based on their individual circumstances. As we continue to learn more about the collectability related to this recently added segment, we will track historical bad debts and continue to assess appropriate reserves.

 

Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. We record valuation reserves on our inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory items. The amount of the reserve is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. On a quarterly basis, management performs an analysis of the underlying inventory to identify reserves needed for excess and obsolescence. Management uses its best judgment to estimate appropriate reserves based on this analysis. In addition, we adjust the carrying value of inventory if the current market value of that inventory is below its cost.

 

Inventories consisted of the following at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020:December 31, 2021:

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 16.5%29.3% of the gross inventory balance at September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to 19.3%28.8% of the gross inventory balance at December 31, 2020.2021. We had $2,300,019$3,896,460 and $1,960,351$3,915,089 in reserves for obsolete and excess inventories at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. Total raw materials and component parts were $3,068,418and $3,186,426$3,839,796 and $3,062,046 at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, a decreasean increase of $118,008 (4%$777,750 (25%). Finished goods balances were $10,827,344$9,462,528 and $6,974,291$10,512,579 at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, an increasea decrease of $3,853,053 (55%$1,050,051 (10%). The increasedecrease in finished goods was primarily attributable to the TicketSmarter acquisition, which increased our finished goodsa reduction in ticketing inventory by $1,981,481 in ticket inventory. Additionally, the increase can also be attributedof $630,270 at March 31, 2022 compared to accumulating inventory for the new and expanding product lines.December 31, 2021. The slight increasedecrease in the inventory reserve is primarily due to scrapping of older version inventory component partsthe reduction in finished goods that were mostly or fully reserved during the three months ended September 30, 2021.had a reserve placed on them prior to sale. The remaining reserve for inventory obsolescence is generally provided for the level of component parts of the older versions of our PCBprinted circuit boards and the phase out of our DVM-750, DVM-500 Plus and LaserAlly legacy products. Additionally, the Company determined a reasonable reserve for inventory held at the ticket operating segment, in which some inventory items sell below cost or go unsold, thus having to be fully written-off following the event date. We believe the reserves are appropriate given our inventory levels at September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

 

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 analyses for acquired intangible assets.

Determining the fair values of acquired intangible assets requires us to exercise significant judgment. We select reasonable estimates and assumptions based on evaluating a number of factors, including, but not limited to, marketplace participants, consumer awareness and brand history. Additionally, there are significant judgments inherent in discounted cash flows such as estimating the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the selection of discount rates, hypothetical royalty rates and contributory asset capital charges. Specifically, the selected discount rates are intended to reflect the risk inherent in the projected future cash flows generated by the underlying acquired intangible assets.

Determining an acquired intangible asset’s useful life also requires significant judgment and is based on evaluating a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the expected use of the asset, historical client retention rates, consumer awareness and trade name history, as well as any contractual provisions that could limit or extend an asset’s useful life.

The Company’s goodwill is evaluated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, which requires goodwill to be assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In addition, an impairment evaluation of our amortizable intangible assets may also be performed if events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. Among the factors that could trigger an impairment review are current operating results that do not align with our annual plan or historical performance; changes in our strategic plans or the use of our assets; restructuring charges 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.

55

When performing our annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill, we initially perform a qualitative analysis evaluating whether any events or circumstances occurred or exist that provide evidence that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than the related carrying amount. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than the related carrying amount, then no quantitative impairment test is performed. However, if the results of our qualitative assessment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its respective carrying amount, then we perform a two-step quantitative impairment test.

Evaluating the recoverability of goodwill requires judgments and assumptions regarding future trends and events. As a result, both the precision and reliability of our estimates are subject to uncertainty. Among the factors that we consider in our qualitative assessment are general economic conditions and the competitive environment; actual and projected reporting unit financial performance; forward-looking business measurements; and external market assessments. To determine the fair values of our reporting units for a quantitative analysis, we typically utilize detailed financial projections, which include significant variables, such as projected rates of revenue growth, profitability and cash flows, as well as assumptions regarding discount rates, the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and other data.

Our most recent annual impairment test of goodwill was a qualitative analysis conducted as of December 31, 2021 that indicated no impairment. Subsequent to completing our 2021 annual impairment test, no events or changes in circumstances were noted that required an interim goodwill impairment test. Note 1 — Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 10 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provide additional information regarding the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Warranty Reserves. We generally provide up to a two-year parts and labor standard warranty on our products to our customers. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims. We actively study trends of claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize claims. Our warranty reserves were decreased to $14,278$10,582 as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $31,845$13,742 as of December 31, 20202021 as we begin to slow our warranty exposures through the roll-off of DVM-750 and DVM-800 units from warranty coverage. Standard warranty exposure on the DVM-800 and DVM-250plus are the responsibility of the contract manufacturers which reduced our overall warranty exposure as these are very popular products in our line. There is a risk that we will have higher warranty claim frequency rates and average cost of claims than our history has indicated on our legacy mirror products on our new products for which we have limited experience. Actual experience could differ from the amounts estimated requiring adjustments to these liabilities in future periods.

 

56

Goodwill Impairment - In connection with acquisitions, we apply the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The Company has just recently completed several acquisitions that generated goodwill that will be subject to impairment testing for the first time on December 31, 2021. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, we will assess goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

Goodwill impairment testing will be performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill.

Given the changing dynamics of our medical billing and ticket marketplace customers and the uncertainties regarding the effect on our business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing in 2021 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions, including forecasted EBITDA of certain reporting units, are not achieved, we may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2021, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other) outside of the quarter when we regularly perform our annual goodwill impairment test. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

Warrant derivative liabilities. On January 14, 2021 and February 1, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 42,550,000 shares of Common Stock. The warrant terms provide for net cash settlement outside the control of the Company under certain circumstances in the event of tender offers. As such, the Company is required to treat these warrants as derivative liabilities which are valued at their estimated fair value at their issuance date and at each reporting date with any subsequent changes reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities. Furthermore, the Company revalues the fair value of warrant derivative liability as of the date the warrant is exercised with the resulting warrant derivative liability transitioned to equity.

 

The Company has utilized the following assumptions in its Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the estimated fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities as of their date of issuance and as of September 30, 2021:March 31, 2022:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, holders of pre-funded warrants exercised a total of 18,250,000 warrants which were fair valued at $1,817,549 at their date of issuance and recorded as a derivative warrant liability. On the date of exercise such pre-funded warrants were fair valued at zero, which was transitioned to permanent equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company reported the $1,817,549 change in fair value from their issuance date to their exercise date in the condensed statements of operations as the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities.

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense. We grant stock options to our employees and directors and such benefits provided are share-based payment awards which require us to make significant estimates related to determining the value of our share-based compensation. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock that are obtained from public data sources and there were no25,000 stock options granted during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

 

If factors change and we develop different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate share-based compensation. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair values of our share-based compensation. Certain share-based payment awards, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined using an established option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. In addition, we account for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Accounting for Income Taxes. Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit.

 

As required by authoritative guidance, we record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Authoritative guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of March 31, 2022, we have fully reserved all of our deferred tax assets. Based on a review of our deferred tax assets and recent operating performance, we determined that our valuation allowance should be decreased by $7,615,000 to a balance of $16,980,000 to fully reserve our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2020, cumulative valuation allowances in the amount of $24,595,000 were recorded in connection with the net deferred income tax assets.2021. We determined that it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of DecemberMarch 31, 20202022, 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 DecemberMarch 31, 20202022 representing uncertain tax positions.

 

We have generated substantial deferred income tax assets related to our operations primarily from the charge to compensation expense taken for stock options, certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. For us to realize the income tax benefit of these assets, we must generate sufficient taxable income in future periods when such deductions are allowed for income tax purposes. In some cases where deferred taxes were the result of compensation expense recognized on stock options, our ability to realize the income tax benefit of these assets is also dependent on our share price increasing to a point where these options have intrinsic value at least equal to the grant date fair value and are exercised. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is needed in connection with our deferred income tax assets, we have evaluated our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to utilize the benefit of the deferred income tax assets. We continue to evaluate our ability to use recorded deferred income tax asset balances. If we fail to generate taxable income for financial reporting in future years, no additional tax benefit would be recognized for those losses, since we will not have accumulated enough positive evidence to support our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Therefore, we may be required to increase our valuation allowance in future periods should our assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income not be realized.

Inflation and Seasonality

 

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, we usuallynature, however; the Ticketing Segment is expected to generate higher revenues during the second half of the calendar year than in the first half.
