TRACK GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of Track Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Track Group”) has been prepared in accordance with the Instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, and results of its operations for the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, filed with the SEC on December 16, ~~2021 (~~2022. ~~the “~~~~Annual Report~~~~”).~~ The results of operations for the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of ~~$302,286,667~~$306,182,505 and ~~$298,828,527,~~$306,218,889, respectively. The Company had net income of $36,384 and a net loss of ~~$(3,458,140) and net income $4,705,766~~$(305,322) for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. ~~As of~~ ~~June 30, 2022,~~ ~~the~~The Company ~~had~~also has $42,864,000 of debt maturing in July 2024 and six notes payable maturing between January 2, 2024 and February 17, 2025 related to the construction of two monitoring centers ~~in Chile~~related to a new contract, with outstanding balances due for the six notes totaling ~~$976,471 (See~~$757,925 at December 31, 2022 (See Note 19). The Company’s ~~continuation of~~ability to return to profitable operations is dependent upon generating a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure, which it ~~has~~ achieved on an operating basis ~~although~~in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and was close to achieving in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 excluding the approximate $1.7 million asset impairment. In addition, the Company needs to resolve its largest debt obligation which matures on July 1, 2024. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and has determined that the Company can meet its operating obligations for a reasonable period of time. The Company expects to fund operations using cash on hand and through operational cash flows through the upcoming twelve months.

(2) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Track Group, Inc. and its active subsidiaries, Track Group Analytics Limited, Track Group Americas, Inc., Track Group International LTD., and Track Group - Chile SpA. All ~~significant~~ inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ~~Certain prior year amounts on the consolidated statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have~~ no ~~impact on the previously reported results.~~

(3) RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies, which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 became effective for accelerated filing companies for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and all other entities should adopt the amendments in ASU 2017-04 for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ~~Management~~The Company will adopt ASU 2017-04 in fiscal year 2024. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-03”). ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, excluding smaller reporting entities, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 in fiscal year 2024. The Company does not expect the application of the CECL impairment model to have a significant impact on our allowance for uncollectible amounts for accounts receivable.

- 5-

(4) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable and in the case of goodwill, at least annually. The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment as of each balance sheet date. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there is an identifiable fair value that is independent of other groups of assets.

(5) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities

Pursuant to ASC 805-10-25, if the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, but during the allowed measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, by means of adjusting the amount recognized for goodwill.

Contingent Consideration

In certain acquisitions, the Company has agreed to pay additional amounts to the seller contingent upon achievement by the acquired businesses of certain future goals, which may include revenue milestones, new customer accounts and earnings targets. The Company records contingent consideration based on its estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The Company evaluates and adjusts the value of contingent consideration, if necessary, at each reporting period based on the progress toward and likely achievement of certain targets on which issuance of the contingent consideration is based. Any differences between the acquisition-date fair value and the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are recognized in current period earnings until the arrangement is settled. If there is uncertainty surrounding the value of contingent consideration, then the Company’s policy is to wait until the end of the measurement period before making an adjustment.

(6) ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) as currently reported under GAAP and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) considers the effects of additional economic events, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, that are not required to be recorded in determining net income (loss), but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Chilean Peso, New Israeli Shekel and the Canadian Dollar are used as functional currencies of the following operating subsidiaries: (i) Track Group Chile SpA; (ii) Track Group International Ltd.; and (iii) Track Group Analytics Limited, respectively. The balance sheets of all subsidiaries have been converted into United States Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022.

(7) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

- 6-

Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) (“options”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock (“warrants”). As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were ~~327,674~~160,881 and 15,000 of outstanding common share equivalents that were not included in the computation of ~~Basic EPS and~~ Diluted EPS for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 0all stock options and warrants had exercise prices that were above the market price of $0.35, and have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations. At December 31, 2021, 415,511 stock options and warrants had exercise prices that were below the market price of ~~$0.70, and have been excluded in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. At~~ ~~June 30, 2021,~~ ~~551,486 options and warrants had exercise prices that were below the market price of $2.75,~~$2.28, and have been included in the ~~basic and~~ diluted earnings per share calculations.

	June 30,		June 30,		December 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Exercisable common stock options and warrants		327,674		566,486

Total common stock equivalents		327,674		566,486		160,881		430,511

(8) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Monitoring and Other Related Services. Monitoring services include two components: (i) lease contracts pursuant to which the Company provides monitoring services and lease devices to distributors or end users and the Company retains ownership of the leased device; and (ii) monitoring services purchased by distributors or end users who have previously purchased monitoring devices and opt to use the Company’s monitoring services. Sales of devices and leased GPS devices are required to use the Company’s monitoring service and both the GPS leased devices and monitoring services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Monitoring revenue is recognized ratably over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of these services as they are performed. Payment due or received from the customers prior to rendering the associated services are recorded as deferred revenue.

The balance of accounts receivables at ~~June~~December 31, 2022 of $5,782,098 includes an unbilled balance of $695,346 and the balance of accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 of $6,236,555 includes an unbilled balance of $777,514. The balance of accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 ~~and~~ ~~October 1, 2020~~ ~~are $5,430,618,~~of $7,163,615 ~~and $5,546,213, respectively.~~includes an unbilled balance of $420,697. The balances of the deferred revenue at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~October 1, 2020~~September 30, 2021 are ~~$14,401,~~$2,010, $3,299, and $22,500, ~~and $147,921,~~ respectively and ~~are~~were included in accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized ~~$10,512~~$3,012 and ~~$110,027~~$7,500 of deferred revenue in the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 ~~respectively, and $42,062 and $133,997 of deferred revenue in the~~ ~~three~~and ~~nine~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, respectively.

Product Sales and Other. The Company sells devices and replacement parts to customers under certain contracts, as well as law enforcement software licenses and maintenance, and analytical software. Revenue from the sale of devices and parts is recognized upon their transfer of control to the customer, which is generally upon delivery. Delivery is considered complete at either the time of shipment or arrival at destination, based on the agreed upon terms within the contract. Payment terms are generally 30 days from invoice date.

Multiple Element Arrangements. The majority of our revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. However, on occasion, the Company may enter into revenue transactions that have multiple elements. These may include different combinations of products or services that are included in a single billable rate. These products or services are delivered over time as the customer utilizes our services. In cases where obligations in a contract are distinct and thus require separation into multiple performance obligations, revenue recognition guidance requires that contract consideration be allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The value allocated to each performance obligation is then recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct promise or bundle of promises has been met.

The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the good or service. When there is only one performance obligation associated with a contract, the entire sale value is attributed to that obligation. When a contract contains multiple performance obligations the transaction value is first allocated using the observable price, which is generally a list price net of applicable discount, or the price used to sell in similar circumstances. In circumstances when a selling price is not directly observable, the Company will estimate the standalone selling price using information available to us.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On October 12, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences (“Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Division of Corporations, designating 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred (“Series A Preferred”).

The Series A Preferred has no separate dividend rights; however, whenever the Board declares a dividend on the Company’s Common Stock, if ever, each holder of record of a share of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to such dividend declared on one share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred could be converted on the Record Date.

Each share of Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference of $35.00 per share, and is convertible, at the holder’s option, into ten shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, at any time beginning five hundred and forty days after the date of issuance.

Stock Incentive Plan

At the annual meeting of stockholders on April 13, 2022, our stockholders approved the 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), previously approved by the Company’s Board.

A total of 500,000 shares are authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2022 Plan.

The 2022 Plan supersedes and replaces the Company’s 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”). As of June 30, 2020, the Board suspended further awards under the 2012 Plan. Any awards outstanding under the 2012 Plan will remain subject to the 2012 Plan. All shares of Common Stock remaining authorized and available for issuance under the 2012 Plan and any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan that subsequently expire, terminate, or are surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of shares will automatically become available for issuance under our 2022 Plan.

(22) INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, when incurred, are classified in interest expense and income tax provision, respectively.

For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred a net income (loss) for income tax purposes of ~~$(3,458,140)~~$36,384 and ~~$4,705,766,~~$(305,322), respectively. The amount and ultimate realization of the benefits from the net operating losses is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, our future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. The Company has established a valuation allowance for all deferred income tax assets not offset by deferred income tax liabilities due to the uncertainty of their realization. Accordingly, there is no benefit for income taxes in the accompanying statements of operations.

In computing income tax, we recognize an income tax provision in tax jurisdictions in which we have pre-tax income for the period and are expecting to generate pre-tax book income during the fiscal year.

(23) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

~~Legal Matters~~

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business.

Monitoring Equipment and Other Related Services

The Company leases monitoring equipment and provides monitoring services to its customers with contract terms varying from month-to-month to several years and each daily contract price varies. Devices supplied to customers are not serial number unique and a single device may be used by multiple customers over its useful life. If a leased device is returned for repair, it will likely be replaced with a different device from a different customer or possibly a new device.
- 16-

The Company’s tracking devices are considered operating leases under ASC 842 as transfer of control of the asset does not occur at the end of the lease, a single device is not specific to a customer and devices may be used by multiple customers throughout their life cycle. Due to the movement of devices from customer to customer, relatively few long-term contracts, the measurement of the equipment life and the present value of the equipment’s fair values would not be a measurement to qualify the devices as sales-type leases.No ~~change to the Company’s accounting treatment of devices occurred with the adoption of ASC~~ ~~842.~~

Operating lease and monitoring revenue associated with the Company’s monitoring equipment for the three ~~and~~ ~~nine~~months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021 are shown in the table below:

Business Strategy

We are committed to helping our customers improve offender rehabilitation and re-socialization outcomes through our innovative hardware, software and services. We treat our business as a service business. Although we still manufacture patented tracking technology, we see the physical goods as only a small part of the integrated offender monitoring solutions we provide. Accordingly, rather than receiving a payment just for a piece of manufactured equipment, the Company receives a recurring stream of revenue for ongoing device agnostic subscription contracts. As part of our strategy, we continue to expand our device-agnostic platform to not only collect, but also store, analyze, assess and correlate location data for both accountability and auditing reasons, as well as to use for predictive analytics and assessment of effective and emerging techniques in criminal behavior and rehabilitation. We believe a high-quality customer experience along with knowledgeable salespeople who can convey the value of our products and services greatly enhances our ability to attract and retain customers. Therefore, our strategy also includes building and expanding our own direct sales force and our third-party distribution network to effectively reach more customers and provide them with a world-class sales and post-sales support experience. In addition, we are developing related-service offerings to address adjacent market opportunities in both the public and private sectors. We believe continual investment in research and development (“R&D”), including smartphone applications and other monitoring services is critical to the development and sale of innovative technologies and integrated solutions today and in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

From time to time, management reviews and evaluates certain accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial position.

A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies that affect the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is set forth in the Company’s Annual ~~Report.~~Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on December 16, 2022. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We assess the reasonableness of our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, right of use assets, estimated useful lives, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, legal matters and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience as well as available current information on a regular basis. Management uses this information to form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Government Regulation

Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local and international laws and regulations. We are not involved in any pending or, to our knowledge, threatened governmental proceedings, which would require curtailment of our operations because of such laws and regulations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted both the Company’s revenue and costs in the past by disrupting its operations in Chile, causing shortages within the supply chain and postponing certain sales opportunities as some government agencies delay new RFP (Request for Proposal) processes or decisions. Notwithstanding the challenges, the monitoring being performed by the Company’s significant customers across the globe have remained operational, as have key business partners providing manufacturing and call center services, and at this time the Company has not experienced unusual payment interruptions from any large customers. ~~As the conditions have improved with respect to COVID-19,~~In addition, both our Chile office and the corporate headquarters in the greater-Chicago area have ~~recently reopened.~~been open nearly fifteen months. However, the Company is operating in a rapidly changing environment, and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts its business, operations and financial results going forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the development of widespread testing or a vaccine; the ability of our supply chain to meet the Company’s need for equipment; the ability to sell and provide services and solutions if shelter in place restrictions and people working from home are extended to ensure employee safety; the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates and the subsequent effect on international transactions; and any closures of clients’ offices or the courts on which they rely.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021

Revenue

For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, the Company recognized total revenue from operations of ~~$8,974,082~~$8,855,691 compared to ~~$10,307,820~~$9,595,656 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, a decrease of ~~$1,333,738~~$739,965 or approximately ~~13%~~8%. The ~~$1,333,738~~ decrease in ~~total revenue was largely~~monitoring revenues is driven principally by fluctuations in court proceedings where active devices are assigned to customers in Illinois, California, the ~~result of a decrease in domestic monitoring revenue~~Bahamas and ~~other related services,~~Canada, partially offset by an increase in ~~product sales. The decrease~~monitoring revenues for customers in ~~monitoring~~Nevada and other related services revenue was principally the result of a decrease of our North American monitoring operations driven by clients in Illinois, Virginia, and the Bahamas, partially offset by increases in revenue in Canada and Chile.Panama.

Product sales and other revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 ~~was $137,460 as compared~~increased to ~~$124,687~~$565,909 from $125,927 in the same period in 2021, an increase of ~~$12,773~~$439,982 or approximately ~~10%.~~349%, primarily due to a periodic purchase from a partner in Saudi Arabia.

The industry in which the Company operates, as well as many other industries (automotive, consumer products and medical devices), have been impacted by the global semiconductor ~~shortage initially caused by~~shortage. The availability of semiconductor parts has improved significantly in the ~~slowdown~~second half of many chip makers and logistics companies due to COVID-19. The shortage, which could last through at least the remainder of 2022, has been exacerbated by the surge in demand for a wide variety of products across several industries, all of which require varying amounts of semiconductors.calendar 2022; however, long lead times remain with certain parts. As a result, until such time as chip manufacturers are able to meet global demand, our future operating results may be negatively impacted.

Cost of Revenue

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, cost of revenue totaled ~~$5,009,869~~$4,675,013 compared to cost of revenue during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 of ~~$4,671,969, an increase~~$4,795,427, a decrease of ~~$337,900~~$120,414 or approximately 7%3%. The ~~increase~~decrease in cost of revenue was largely the result of ~~higher~~lower depreciation and amortization costs of ~~$287,849,~~$90,830, lower monitoring center costs of $90,352, lower outside services costs of $48,876, partially offset by higher server costs of $40,457 and higher device repair costs of ~~$290,794 and higher communication costs of $70,646. These increases were partially offset by lower monitoring center costs of $275,008 and lower device lost stolen and damaged costs of $55,513.~~$74,797.

Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 ~~was $809,235 compared to depreciation~~ and ~~amortization~~2021 totaled $773,019 and $863,849, respectively, a decrease of ~~$521,386 during the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $287,849.~~$90,830. These costs represent the depreciation of ReliAlert® and other monitoring devices, as well as the amortization of monitoring software and certain royalty agreements. The ~~increase~~decrease in depreciation and amortization costs is largely due to ~~the amortization of our new software monitoring platform and other new software initiatives, which began on July 1, 2021, partially offset by~~ a decrease in depreciation expense related to fully depreciated devices. We believe the equipment lives on which the depreciation is based are appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness. Amortization of a patent related to GPS and satellite tracking is also included in cost of sales.
~~Gross Profit and Margin~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, gross profit totaled $3,964,213, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 44%. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, gross profit totaled $5,635,851, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 55%. The decrease in absolute gross profit of $1,671,638, or approximately 30%, is due to lower revenue and increases in certain costs of revenue, including depreciation and amortization, device repair costs
and communication costs, partially offset by lower monitoring costs and lost, stolen and damaged costs.
~~General and Administrative Expense~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expense totaled $2,734,162 compared to $2,868,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease of $134,677, or approximately 5%, in general and administrative expense resulted largely from lower bonus expense of $368,834, lower bad debt expense of $141,905 and lower severance expense of $54,405. These costs were offset by higher payroll and related taxes and benefits of $132,558, higher insurance costs of $104,748, higher stock-based compensation costs of $94,340, and higher outside service costs of $93,961.
~~-20-~~

~~Selling and Marketing Expense~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, selling and marketing expense totaled $778,656 compared to $703,014 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in expense of $75,642, or approximately 11%, is principally the result of higher travel related costs of $47,841 and higher trade show expense of $30,997.
~~Research and Development Expense~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expense totaled $583,492 compared to $332,588 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in expense of $250,904, or approximately 75%, resulted largely from continuous improvements of our existing software resulting in increased payroll and related tax expense of $199,246 after the implementation and subsequent amortization of our new monitoring software, increased outside service costs of $32,363 and increased travel expense of $9,078. As a result of the implementation of our new monitoring software on July 1, 2021, capitalization of developed technology decreased to $249,642 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, which represents technology projects currently in development compared to the $407,839 which was capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2021. A portion of this expense would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant enhancements to the technology.
~~Depreciation and Amortization Expense~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $400,062 compared to $434,348 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $34,286 or approximately 8%, largely due to fully depreciated assets.
~~Total Operating Expense~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, total operating expense was $4,496,372 compared to $4,338,789 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $157,583, or approximately 4%. The increase is principally due to the factors disclosed above.
~~Operating Income (loss)~~
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, operating loss was $(532,159) compared to operating income of $1,297,062 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a reduction of $1,829,221, or approximately 141%. This reduction was due to a decrease in gross profit of $1,671,638, which resulted from lower revenue and higher cost of revenue directly related to the amortization of our new monitoring software platform, higher device repair costs and higher communication costs. These increases were partially offset by lower monitoring center costs and lower device lost stolen and damaged costs. In addition, the Company incurred higher selling and marketing and research and development costs. These increases were partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses in operating expense.
~~Other Income (Expense)~~
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, other income (expense) totaled an expense of $2,793,805 compared to an expense of $277,897 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is largely due to the settlement of litigation of $1,600,000 and unfavorable currency exchange rate movements of $941,182 compared to the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2021. See Note 23 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
~~Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders~~
The Company had net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(3,605,059), for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net income of $1,198,041 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a reduction of $4,803,100. This decline is largely due to lower operating income and higher income taxes.

~~Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021~~
~~Revenue~~
For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue from operations of $28,053,857, compared to $29,571,555 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $1,517,698, or approximately 5%. Of this revenue, $27,148,837 and $29,197,152, respectively, are from monitoring and other related services, a decrease of $2,048,315, or approximately 7%. The decrease in revenue was principally the result of a decrease of our North American monitoring operations driven by clients in Illinois, Virginia, the Bahamas and Indiana, partially offset by increases of our customers in Saudi Arabia, Canada and Chile.
~~Other revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $905,020 from $374,403 in the same period in 2021 largely due to product sales to a foreign customer.~~
The industry in which the Company operates, as well as many other industries (automotive, consumer products and medical devices), have been impacted by the global semiconductor shortage initially caused by the slowdown of many chip makers and logistics companies due to COVID-19. The shortage, which could last through at least the remainder of 2022, has been exacerbated by the surge in demand for a wide variety of products across several industries, all of which require varying amounts of semiconductors. As a result, until such time as chip manufacturers are able to meet global demand, our future operating results may be negatively impacted, due to the potential inability to meet customer demands.
~~Cost of Revenue~~
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, cost of revenue totaled $14,750,430 compared to cost of revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 of $13,287,916, an increase of $1,462,514, or approximately 11%. The increase in cost of revenue was largely the result of higher depreciation and amortization costs of $930,915, higher server costs of $328,456, higher device repair costs of $215,392, higher contract software maintenance costs of $130,821, higher communication costs of $129,944 and higher product sales costs of $105,734, partially offset by lower monitoring costs of $292,518, and lower lost, stolen and damaged costs of $89,658. The higher depreciation and amortization costs are largely due to the amortization of our new monitoring software which began in July 2021.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $2,465,998 and $1,535,083, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization costs of $930,915 is largely due to the amortization of our new software monitoring platform and other new software initiatives of ~~$947,268, which began on July 1, 2021 and~~$39,118, as well as a ~~slight~~ decrease in device depreciation expense ~~related to devices.~~of $51,712. Devices are depreciated over either a ~~one to~~three- or five-year useful life. Monitoring software is amortized over a seven-year life. Royalty agreements are being amortized over a ten-year useful life. The Company believes these ~~equipment and software~~ lives are appropriate due to changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness. ~~Amortization of a patent related to GPS and satellite tracking is also included in cost of sales.~~

Gross Profit and Margin

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, gross profit totaled ~~$13,303,427,~~$4,180,678, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 47%~~, compared to $16,283,639, or~~.

The decrease in absolute gross profit of ~~$2,980,212,~~$619,551 or approximately ~~18%,~~13% is due to lower revenue, partially offset by a decrease ~~in revenue of $1,517,698 and increases~~ in certain costs of revenue, including higher depreciation and amortization costs of $930,915, higher server costs, higher device repair costs, higher software maintenance costs, higher communication costs and higher product sales costs, partially offset by lower monitoring costs and lower lost, stolen and damaged costs.revenue.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company footprint extends to a number of countries outside the United States, and we intend to continue to examine international opportunities. As a result, our revenue and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates, transfer pricing changes, taxes and other uncertainties inherent in doing business in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are exposed to risks that are associated with changes in social, political and economic conditions in the foreign countries in which we operate, including changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment, as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.

Foreign Currency Risks

~~The Company conducts business with foreign customers whose contracts are principally in U.S. dollars or in one instance, in local currency.~~ We had ~~$4,668,573~~$1,525,021 and ~~$4,534,424~~$1,530,147 in foreign currency revenue from sources outside of the United States for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We made and received payments in a foreign ~~currencies~~currency during the periods indicated, which resulted in foreign exchange ~~loss~~gain (loss) of ~~$460,033~~$483,151 and ~~a foreign currency gain of $1,133,900~~$(106,278) in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Fluctuations in the exchange loss or gain in any given period are due to the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Chilean Peso and Canadian dollar which have been magnified by ~~COVID-19, the conflict in Ukraine,~~global matters, inflation, and the government policies established to address those issues. Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products and purchase goods and services. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations, or financial condition. We ~~do not use~~periodically enter into small, simple forward foreign currency exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments for hedging ~~or speculative purposes.~~purposes given our approximate 17% of revenue in one local currency offset by significant expenses in the same local currency.
