Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020, by and between the Company and the Institutional Investors (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued the Notes and the Institutional Warrants to the Institutional Investors in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Private Placement”), which occurred concurrently with a registered direct offering of $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes issued to the Institutional Investors (the “Registered Offering”) pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated April 20, 2020, to a prospectus forming a part of a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225227) filed by the Company on May 25, 2018 with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and which the SEC declared effective on June 6, 2018 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”).

On December 23, 2019, the Company issued an Individual Warrant to one of the Individual Investors exercisable for up to 107,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the issuance of an 8% promissory note issued by the Company to such Individual Investor in the principal amount of $300,000. On January 17, 2020, the Company issued an Individual Warrant to the other Individual Investor exercisable for up to 35,750 shares of Common Stock in connection with the issuance of an 8% promissory note issued by the Company to such Individual Investor in the principal amount of $100,000. Both of the Individual Warrants were issued in private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

This prospectus also covers any additional shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon any anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Warrants issued to the Selling Stockholders by reason of stock splits, stock dividends, and other events described therein.

Because we will issue a Warrant for each share of our Common Stock and for each Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering, the number of Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the offering described in this prospectus. However, we will receive $1.31 per share upon the exercise of the Institutional Warrants and $1.40 per share upon the exercise of the Individual Warrants, which will be used to repay the expenses of this offering, and for general working capital purposes. However, we cannot predict when and in what amounts or if the Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the Warrants may expire and never be exercised, in which case we would not receive any cash proceeds.

COVID – 19 Pandemic

The consolidated financial statements contained in thisincorporated by reference intothis prospectus as well as the description of our business contained herein, unless otherwise indicated, principally reflect the status of our business and the results of our operations as of DecemberMarch 31, 2019.2020. Since that date, economies throughout the world have beencontinued to be severely disrupted by the effects of the quarantines, business closures and the reluctance of individuals to leave their homes as a result of the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19)(“COVID-19”). Although we remain open as an “essential business,” our supply chain has been disrupted and our customers, and in particular our commercial customers, have been significantly impacted which has, in turn, reduced our level of operations and activities. In addition, the capital markets have been disrupted and our efforts to raise necessary capital will likely be adversely impacted by the outbreak of the virus and we cannot forecast with any certainty when the disruptions caused by it will cease to impact our business and the results of our operations. In reading this report on Form 10-K,prospectus, including the related exhibits, the information incorporated by reference herewith and our discussion of our ability to continue as a going concern set forth herein,in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 20, 2020, and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020, including the notes to the financial statements contained therein, in each case, consider the additional uncertainties caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.

On April 4, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note which provides for a loan in the amount of $1,418,900 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Paycheck Protection Program 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 intends to use the majority of the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.

Our Products

We supply technology-based products utilizing our portable digital video and audio recording capabilities for the law enforcement and security industries and for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets. We have the ability to integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create positive solutions to our customers’ requests. Our products include: the DVM-800 and DVM-800 Lite, in-car digital video mirror systems for law enforcement; the FirstVU and the FirstVU HD, body-worn cameras, our patented and revolutionary VuLink product, which integrates our body-worn cameras with our in-car systems by providing hands-free automatic activation for both law enforcement and commercial markets; the DVM-250 and DVM-250 Plus, a commercial line of digital video mirrors that serve as “event recorders” for the commercial fleet and mass transit markets; and FleetVU and VuLink, our cloud-based evidence management systems. We introduced the EVO-HD product in the second quarter of 2019 and began full-scale deliveries in the third quarter of 2019. The EVO-HD is designed and built on a new and highly advanced technology platform that we expect to 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 for our product offerings. The following describes our product portfolio

In-Car Digital Video Mirror System for law enforcement – EVO-HD, DVM-800 and DVM-800 Lite

In-car video systems for patrol cars are now a necessity and have generally become standard. Current systems are primarily digital based systems with cameras mounted on the windshield and the recording device generally in the trunk, headliner, dashboard, console or under the seat of the vehicle. Most manufacturers have already developed and transitioned completely to digital video, and some have offered full high definition (“HD”) level recordings which is currently state-of-art for the industry.

Our digital video rear-view mirror unit is a self-contained video recorder, microphone and digital storage system that is integrated into a rear-view mirror, with a monitor, global positioning system (“GPS”) and 900 megahertz (“MHz”) audio transceiver. Our system is more compact and unobtrusive than certain of our competitors because it requires no recording equipment to be located in other parts of the vehicle.

Our in-car digital video rear-view mirror has the following features:

We have completed development of a new in-car digital video platform under the name EVO-HD which it launched during the second quarter of 2019.The EVO-HD is a next generation system that offers a multiple HD in-car camera solution system with built-in patented VuLink auto-activation technology. The EVO-HD is built on an entirely new and highly advanced technology platform that enables many new and revolutionary features, including auto activation beyond the car and body camera. No other provider can offer built-in patented VuLink auto-activation technology. The EVO-HD provides law enforcement officers with an easier to use, faster and more advanced system for capturing video evidence and uploading than similar products sold by the Company’s competitors. Additional features include:

The EVO-HD is designed and built on a new and highly advanced technology platform that will become the platform for a whole new family of in-car video solution products for the law enforcement. The innovative EVO-HD technology replaces the current in-car mirror-based systems with a miniaturized system that can be custom-mounted in the vehicle while offering numerous hardware configurations to meet the varied needs and requirements of its law enforcement customers. The EVO-HD can support up to four HD cameras, with two cameras having pre-event and evidence capture assurance (“ECA”) capabilities to allow agencies to review entire shifts. An internal cell modem will allow for connectivity to the VuVault.net cloud, powered by Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and real time metadata when in the field.

In-Car Digital Video “Event Recorder” System – DVM-250 Plus for Commercial Fleets

Digital Ally provides commercial fleets and commercial fleet managers with the digital video tools that they need to increase driver safety and track assets in real-time and minimize the company’s liability risk, all while enabling fleet managers to operate the fleet at an optimal level. We market a product designed to address these commercial fleet markets with our DVM-250 Plus event recorders that provide all types of commercial fleets with features and capabilities which are fully-customizable, consistent with their specific application and inherent risks. The DVM-250 Plus is a rear-view mirror based digital audio and video recording system with many, but not all of, the features of our DVM-800 law enforcement mirror systems, which we sell at a lower price point. The DVM-250 Plus is designed to capture “events,” such as wrecks and erratic driving or other abnormal occurrences, for evidentiary or training purposes. The commercial fleet markets may find our units attractive from both a feature and a cost perspective compared to other providers. We believe that due to our marketing efforts, commercial fleets are adopting this technology, in particular the ambulance and taxi-cab markets.

Digital Ally offers a suite of data management web-based tools to assist fleet managers in the organization, archival, and management of videos and telematics information. Within the suite, there are powerful mapping and reporting tools that are intended to optimize efficiency, serve as excellent training tools for teams on safety and ultimately generate a significant return on investment for the organization.

The EVO-HD described above will also become the platform for a whole new family of in-car video solution products for the commercial markets. The innovative EVO-HD technology will replace the current in-car mirror-based systems with a miniaturized system that can be custom-mounted in the vehicle while offering numerous hardware configurations to meet the varied needs and requirements of its commercial customers. In its commercial market application, the EVO-HD can support up to four HD cameras, with two cameras having pre-event and ECA capabilities to allow customers to review entire shifts. An internal cell modem will allow for connectivity to the FleetVU Manager cloud-based system for commercial fleet tracking and monitoring, powered by AWS and real time metadata when in the field.

Miniature Body-Worn Digital Video System – FirstVU HD for law enforcement and private security

This system is also a derivative of our in-car video systems, but is much smaller and lighter and more rugged and water-resistant to handle a hostile outdoor environment. These systems can be used in many applications in addition to law enforcement and private security and are designed specifically to be clipped to an individual’s pocket or other outer clothing. The unit is self-contained and requires no external battery or storage devices. Current systems offered by competitors are digital based, but generally require a battery pack and/or storage device to be connected to the camera by wire or other means. We believe that our FirstVU HD product is more desirable for potential users than our competitors’ offerings because of its video quality, small size, shape and lightweight characteristics.Our FirstVU HD integrates with our in-car video systems through our patented VuLink system allowing for automatic activation of both systems.

Auto-activation and Interconnectivity between in-car video systems and FirstVU HD body worn camera products – VuLink for law enforcement applications

Recognizing a critical limitation in law enforcement camera technology, we pioneered the development of our VuLink ecosystem that provides intuitive auto-activation functionality as well as coordination between multiple recording devices. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) has recognized these pioneering efforts by granting us multiple patents with claims covering numerous features, such as automatically activating an officer’s cameras when the light bar is activated or when a data-recording device such as a smart weapon is activated. Additionally, the awarded patent claims cover automatic coordination between multiple recording devices. Prior to this work, officers were forced to manually activate each device while responding to emergency scenarios, a requirement that both decreased the usefulness of the existing camera systems and diverted officers’ attention during critical moments. Our FirstVU HD integrates with our in-car video systems through our patented VuLink system allowing for automatic activation of both systems.

This feature is becoming a standard feature required by many law agencies. Unfortunately, certain of our competitors have chosen to infringe our patent and develop products that provide the same or similar features as our VuLink system. We filed lawsuits against two competitors – Axon Enterprises, Inc. (“Axon,” formerly known as Taser International, Inc.) and Enforcement Video, LLC d/b/a WatchGuard Video (“WatchGuard”) – which challenge Axon’s and WatchGuard’s infringing products. On May 13, 2019, WatchGuard and the Company resolved the dispute and executed a settlement agreement in the form of a Release and License Agreement. The litigation has been dismissed as a result of this settlement.

Axon–On June 17, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (the “U.S. District Court”) granted Axon’s motion for summary judgment that Axon did not infringe on the Company’s patent and dismissed the case. Importantly, the U.S. District Court’s ruling did not find that the Company’s ‘452 Patent was invalid. It also did not address any other issue, such as whether the Company’s requested damages were appropriate, and it does not impact the Company’s ability to file additional lawsuits to hold other competitors accountable for patent infringement. This ruling solely related to an interpretation of the Company’s claims as they relate to Axon and was unrelated to the supplemental briefing the Company filed on its damages claim and the WatchGuard settlement. Those issues are separate and the U.S. District Court’s ruling on the motion for summary judgment had nothing to do with the Company’s damages request.

We filed an opening appeal brief on August 26, 2019 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), appealing the U.S. District Court’s granting of Axon’s motion for summary judgment. Axon responded by filing a responsive brief on November 6, 2019 and we then filed a reply brief responding to Axon on November 27, 2019. The Court of Appeals scheduled oral arguments on our appeal of the U.S. District Court’s summary judgment ruling on April 6, 2020. This appeal was intended to address the Company’s position that the U.S. District Court incorrectly dismissed our claims against Axon. If the Court of Appeals overturns the ruling of the U.S. District Court, the case will be remanded to the U.S District Court before a new judge. On March 12, 2020, the panel of judges for the Court of Appeals issued an order cancelling the oral arguments previously set for April 6, 2020, having determined that the appeal will be decided solely based on the parties’ briefs.On April 22, 2020, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals denied our appeal and affirmed the District Court’s previous decision to grant Axon summary judgment. We are considering asking forThe Company is evaluating its alternatives including whether to file a motion requesting a rehearing in front of the three-judge panel or the entire Court of Appeals.

WatchGuard–On May 27, 2016, the Company filed suit against WatchGuard alleging patent infringement based on WatchGuard’s VISTA Wifi and 4RE In-Car product lines. On May 13, 2019, the parties resolved the dispute and executed a settlement agreement in the form of a Release and License Agreement. The litigation has been dismissed as a result of this settlement. The Release and License Agreement contains the following key terms:

Upon receipt of the $6,000,000, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss the lawsuit with the court, which was granted.

We believe that the outcome of the Axon lawsuit will largely define the competitive landscape for the body-worn and in-car video market for the foreseeable future. We expect that our VuLink product and its related patents will be recognized as the revolutionary and pioneering invention by the U.S. courts.

Other Products

During the last year, we focused our research and development efforts to meet the varying needs of our customers, enhance our existing products and commence development of new products and product categories. Our research and development efforts are intended to maintain and enhance our competitiveness in the market niche we have carved out, as well as positioning us to compete in diverse markets outside of law enforcement. In December 2019, the Company announced a partnership with Pivot International for design and manufacture of a new and innovative Breathalyzer Device utilizing the Company’s recently issued patent. With this new technology, when an officer is conducting a field sobriety test and the breathalyzer is activated, the digital video recording device will automatically start a recording, later embedding the meta-data captured onto the recorded video. The ‘732 Patent was granted by the U.S. Patent Office in August 2019 and is an expansion of Digital Ally’s patented VuLink automatic activation technology.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 as Vegas Petra, Inc. From that date until November 30, 2004, when we entered into a Plan of Merger with Digital Ally, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was formerly known as Trophy Tech Corporation (the “Acquired Company”), we had not conducted any operations and were a closely-held company. In conjunction with the merger, we were renamed Digital Ally, Inc.

The Acquired Company, which was incorporated on May 16, 2003, engaged in the design, development, marketing and sale of bow hunting-related products. Its principal product was a digital video recording system for use in the bow hunting industry. It changed its business plan in 2004 to adapt its digital video recording system for use in the law enforcement and security markets. We began shipments of our in-car digital video rear view mirrors in March 2006.

On January 2, 2008, we commenced trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “DGLY.” We conduct our business from 9705 Loiret Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219. Our website address iswww.digitalallyinc.com.

Recent Developments

Nasdaq Continued Listing Rule Compliance

On July 11, 2019, we were officially notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (the “MVLS”) for our Common Stock was below the $35 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we had 180 calendar days, or until January 7, 2020, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the minimum MVLS for our Common Stock must have been at least $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this 180-day period. If we failed to regain compliance with such rule by January 7, 2020, we could have been delisted from Nasdaq. In the event of such notification, Nasdaq rules permitted us an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination.

On January 8, 2020, we received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) stating that we had not regained compliance with the MVLS Standard, since our Common Stock was below the $35 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under the MLVS Rule and had not been at least $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day grace period granted to us. Pursuant to the Letter, unless we requested a hearing to appeal this determination by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 15, 2020, our Common Stock would have been delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our Common Stock would have been suspended at the opening of business on January 17, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the SEC, which would have removed our Common Stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

On January 13, 2020, we requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Letter and the Staff notified us that a hearing was scheduled for February 20, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. We were asked to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance with the minimum MLVS requirement under the MLVS Rule, which needed to include a discussion of the events that we believe will enable us to timely regain compliance with the minimum MLVS requirement. On January 21, 2020, we submitted a compliance plan that we believed was sufficient to permit us to regain compliance with the minimum MLVS requirement. On February 20, 2020, we appeared before the Panel to discuss our plan to regain compliance, including, but not limited to, complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which is the minimum stockholders’ equity standard for continued listing, which requires that companies listed on Nasdaq maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholder’s equity (“Rule 5550(b)(1)”). On March 6, 2020, we received written notice from the Panel indicating that, based on the plan of compliance that we had presented at such hearing, the Panel granted our request for the continued listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq, subject to, among other things, us keeping the Staff updated on the progress of our compliance plan and ultimately being able to evidence shareholder equity in an amount greater than or equal to $2,500,000 in accordance with Rule 5550(b)(1) no later than June 30, 2020. During this time, our Common Stock will remain listed and trading on Nasdaq.

On April 22, 2020, we received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price for our Common Stock was below $1.00 per share for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days.Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180-calendar day compliance period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. However, the 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under applicable Nasdaq rules has been extended due to the global market impact caused by COVID-19. More specifically, Nasdaq has stated that the compliance periods for any company previously notified about non-compliance will be suspended effective April 16, 2020, through June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, companies would receive the balance of any pending compliance period exception to come back into compliance with the applicable Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As a result of this extension, the Company has until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten (10) consecutive business days by December 28, 2020. Management continues to believe that adherence to its current operating and business plan will enable the Company to regain compliance. If the Company is not in compliance by December 28, 2020, the Company may be afforded a second 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional time, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement.

Wholesale Distribution Agreement

Effective April 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Wholesale Distribution Agreement (the “Wholesale Agreement”) with Trust Think, LLC, which is a Division of Think, LLC (“Trust Think”). Pursuant to the terms of the Wholesale Agreement, the Company has been engaged to service, promote, and sell certain Danolyte^®Danolyte® disinfecting products, which are manufactured and distributed by Trust Think (the “Products”), to certain first responder and commercial customers with whom the Company has relationships. Danolyte^®Danolyte® has been listed on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The Company will receive a percentage of the sales sold through the Company’s distribution channels.

The Company will offer the disinfecting products to its first responder customers including police, fire and paramedics. 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 and temperature measuring devices.

The Agreement has an initial term beginning on April 3, 2020 and ending one (1) year thereafter. Thereafter, the Agreement renews automatically for successive additional terms of one (1) year each unless the Company or Think Tank provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current term. Either party may terminate the Agreement at any time, effective immediately upon written notice if it has good cause for termination as defined in the Agreement.

Executive Pay Reduction

Our compensation committee of our board of directors (the “Committee”) determined that the cash portion of the annual base salaries of Stanton E. Ross, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas J. Heckman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, shall be reduced to annual rates of $150,000 each for the balance of 2020, commencing May 1, 2020. The Committee also decided that the balance of the annual salaries of Messrs. Ross and Heckman for 2020, which are $69,230.76 and $55,384.00, respectively, as of May 1, 2020, will be paid through the issuance of shares of restricted Common Stock under the Company’s 2018 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, with the Company paying the applicable federal and state taxes on such amounts. We issued Messrs. Ross and Heckman 75,250 shares of such Common Stock and 60,200 shares of such Common Stock, respectively, effective April 17, 2020, based on a closing price of $0.92 per share on such date.

Promissory Note Under the Paycheck Protection Program

On April 4, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note which provides for a loan in the amount of $1,418,900 (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The promissory note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Paycheck Protection Program 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 intends to use the majority of the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.

April 2020 Registered Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On April 17, 2020, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Institutional Investors”), providing for the issuance of (i) the Company’s 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due April 16, 2021 with an aggregate principal face amount of $1,666,666, which notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into an aggregate of 1,650,164 shares of the Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at a price per share of $1.01 and (ii) five-year warrants (the “Institutional Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,237,624 shares of Common Stock (the “Institutional Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.31, subject to customary adjustments, which warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the warrants have not been registered 180 days after the date of issuance (the “April 2020 Offering”). The closing of such offering occurred simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documents, pursuant to which the Institutional Investors purchased such notes and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount of such notes (the “Registered Notes”), and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Registered Notes, were issued to the Institutional Investors in the Registered Offering and registered under the Securities Act pursuant the Shelf Registration Statement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued to the Institutional Investors in a private placement, the remaining aggregate of $1,166,666 in principal amount of Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Institutional Warrants and the Institutional Warrant Shares. We also entered into a Registration Rights Side Letter, dated April 17, 2020, with the Institutional Investors agreeing to use our best efforts to file, within 30 days after the closing of the Offering, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, to register the applicable Conversion Shares and the Institutional Warrant Shares, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective, within 90 days after the closing date of the Offering to permit the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Institutional Warrant Shares by the Institutional Investors.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we and our subsidiary entered into a security agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020, with the Institutional Investors (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which we and our subsidiary granted to the Institutional Investors a security interest in, among other items, we and our subsidiary’s accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds, as set forth in the Security Agreement. In addition, pursuant to an intellectual property security agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020, we granted to the Institutional Investors a continuing security interest in all of our right, title and interest in, to and under certain of our trademarks, copyrights and patents. In addition, our subsidiary agreed to guarantee and act as surety for the Company’s obligation to repay all of the Company’s notes issued in connection with the offering pursuant to a subsidiary guarantee.

Warehouse and Office Building Lease

On May 13, 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement for new warehouse and office space which will serve as the company’s new principal executive office and primary business location. The terms of the lease include no base rent for the first six months and monthly payments ranging from $12,398 to $13,693 thereafter, with a maturity date of December 2026. The Company is responsible for property taxes, utilities, insurance and its proportionate share of common area costs related to its new location. The Company will move to and occupy the new space after certain improvements are completed by the landlord which is expected to be in June 2020. The Company believes that this facility is adequate to meet the Company’s needs for the immediate future and that, should it be needed, we will be able to secure additional space to accommodate the expansion of operations.

THE OFFERING

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our shares of Common Stocksecurities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus and in the documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus before you decide to purchase our shares of Common Stock.securities. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our securities. As a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering of Securities

Our insiders and affiliated parties beneficially own a significant portion of our Common Stock.

As of the date of this prospectus, supplement, our executive officers, directors, and affiliated parties beneficially own approximately 18.7% of our Common Stock, including options vested or to vest within sixty (60) days. As a result, our executive officers, directors and affiliated parties will have significant influence to:

In addition, any sale of a significant amount of our Common Stock held by our directors and executive officers, or the possibility of such sales, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing any gains from our Common Stock. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

The market price for our Common Stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in the share price of our Common Stock. You may be unable to sell any shares of Common Stock that you hold at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The market for our Common Stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats, and we expect that the share price of our Common Stock will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The volatility in the share price of our Common Stock is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our Common Stock is, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our shares of share price of our Common Stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our Common Stock is sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, an investment in our securities is a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares of share price of our Common Stock on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock regardless of our operating performance.

Holders of the Warrants will not be entitled to any rights with respect to our Common Stock but will be subject to all changes made with respect to our Common Stock.

Holders of the Warrants will not be entitled to any rights with respect to our Common Stock (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on our Common Stock), but holders of the Warrants will be subject to all changes affecting our Common Stock. For example, if an amendment is proposed to our articles of incorporation requiring stockholder approval and the record date for determining the stockholders of record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs prior to the relevant holder acquiring shares of our Common Stock as a result of exercise of such holder’s Warrants, such holder will not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although such holder will nevertheless be subject to any changes in the powers, preferences or special rights of our Common Stock.

There is no public market for the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants being offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants will be limited.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants are speculative in nature.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their respective holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, (i) holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the Common Stock and pay an exercise price of $0.01 per share and (ii) holders of the Warrants may exercise their right to acquire the Common Stock and pay an exercise price of $ per share, or 120% of the public offering price per share of our Common Stock. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price. Furthermore, each Pre-Funded Warrant and each Warrant will expire five years from the original issuance date.

Each Warrant will be immediately exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $[ ] per share of Common Stock (which price is equal to 120% of the public offering price per share of Common Stock) and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. In the event that our Common Stock price does not exceed the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Warrants during the period when the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants are exercisable, as applicable, such warrants may not have any value.

Holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants will have no rights as a common stockholder until they acquire shares of our Common Stock.

Until you acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants, you will have no rights with respect to the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

In the event that the mandatory prepayment provisions under our Notes and RegisteredApril 2020 Notes are triggered, servicing such debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to make payments on our debt, and such prepayment, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes and RegisteredApril 2020 Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including the Notes and RegisteredApril 2020 Notes. In addition, any of our future debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.

The sale or availability for sale of shares issuable upon conversion or repayment of the Notes or upon exercise of the Purchase Warrants issued in connection with our concurrent private offering may depress the price of our Common Stock and encourage short sales by third parties, which could further depress the price of our Common Stock.

To the extent that the purchasers of the Notes or the Purchase Warrants issued in connection with our concurrent private offering sell shares of our Common Stock issued upon conversion or repayment of the Notes or upon exercise of such Purchase Warrants, the market price of such shares of Common Stock may decrease due to the additional selling pressure in the market. In addition, the risk of dilution from issuances of such shares of Common Stock may cause stockholders to sell their shares of our Common Stock, which could further contribute to any decline in the price of our Common Stock. Any downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock caused by the sale or potential sale of such shares of Common Stock could encourage short sales by third parties. In a short sale, a prospective seller borrows shares from a stockholder or broker and sells the borrowed shares. The prospective seller hopes that the share price will decline, at which time the seller can purchase shares at a lower price for delivery back to the lender. The seller profits when the share price declines because it is purchasing shares at a price lower than the sale price of the borrowed shares. Such sales could place downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock by increasing the number of shares of our Common Stock being sold, which could further contribute to any decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

Holders of the Notes and Warrants will not be entitled to any rights with respect to our Common Stock but will be subject to all changes made with respect to our Common Stock.

Holders of the Notes and Warrants will not be entitled to any rights with respect to our Common Stock (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on our Common Stock), but holders of the Notes and Warrants will be subject to all changes affecting our Common Stock. For example, if an amendment is proposed to our articles of incorporation requiring stockholder approval and the record date for determining the stockholders of record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs prior to the relevant holder acquiring shares of our Common Stock as a result of conversion or repayment of such holder’s Notes, exercise of such holder’s Warrants, or the repayment of the Notes in the form of Common Stock, such holder will not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although such holder will nevertheless be subject to any changes in the powers, preferences or special rights of our Common Stock.

The Warrants may not have any value.

The Institutional Warrants will be exercisable for five years from the closing date at an initial exercise price of $1.31 per share. The Individual Warrants will be exercisable until December 23, 2024 and January 17, 2025, respectively. In the event that the price of a share of our Common Stock does not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants during the period when the Warrants are exercisable, the Warrants may not have any value.

In the event of that the mandatory prepayment provision under the Registered Notes is triggered, servicing such debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to make payments on our debt, and such prepayment, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Registered Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including the Registered Notes. In addition, any of our future debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.

If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing standards.

In the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq and is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of our Common Stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Common Stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a major exchange.

On July 11, 2019, we were officially notified by Nasdaq that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (the “MVLS”) for our Common Stock was below the $35 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we had 180 calendar days, or until January 7, 2020, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the minimum MVLS for our Common Stock must have been at least $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this 180-day period. If we failed to regain compliance with such rule by January 7, 2020, we could have been delisted from Nasdaq. In the event of such notification, Nasdaq rules permitted us an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination

On January 8, 2020, we received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) stating that we had not regained compliance with the MVLS Standard, since our Common Stock was below the $35 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under the MLVS Rule and had not been at least $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day grace period granted to us. Pursuant to the Letter, unless we requested a hearing to appeal this determination by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 15, 2020, our Common Stock would have been delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our Common Stock would have been suspended at the opening of business on January 17, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the SEC, which would have removed our Common Stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

On January 13, 2020, we requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Letter and the Staff notified us that a hearing was scheduled for February 20, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. We were asked to provide the Panel with a plan to regain compliance with the minimum MLVS requirement under the MLVS Rule, which needed to include a discussion of the events that we believe will enable us to timely regain compliance with the minimum MLVS requirement. On January 21, 2020, we submitted a compliance plan that we believed was sufficient to permit us to regain compliance with the minimum MLVS requirement. On February 20, 2020, we appeared before the Panel to discuss our plan to regain compliance, including, but not limited to, complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which is the minimum stockholders’ equity standard for continued listing, which requires that companies listed on Nasdaq maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholder’s equity (“Rule 5550(b)(1)”). On March 6, 2020, we received written notice from the Panel indicating that, based on the plan of compliance that we had presented at such hearing, the Panel granted our request for the continued listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq, subject to, among other things, us keeping the Staff updated on the progress of our compliance plan and ultimately being able to evidence shareholder equity in an amount greater than or equal to $2,500,000 in accordance with Rule 5550(b)(1) no later than June 30, 2020. During this time, our Common StokStock will remain listed and trading on Nasdaq.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet our plan of compliance that we submitted to the Panel and that we will be able to evidence compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1) on or before June 30, 2020, or that, in the event that we regain compliance with such rule, we will continue to remain in compliance with such rule and all other Nasdaq continued listing standards. However, in the event that this offering is successful and we are able to raise all of the proceeds associated with this offering, we expect that it will help enable us to remain in compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1). However, there can be no assurance that this offering will be successful and that we will be able to raise adequate proceeds to enable it to remain in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards.

On April 22, 2020, we received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price for our Common Stock was below $1.00 per share for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days.Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180-calendar day compliance period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. However, the 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under applicable Nasdaq rules has been extended due to the global market impact caused by COVID-19. More specifically, Nasdaq has stated that the compliance periods for any company previously notified about non-compliance will be suspended effective April 16, 2020, through June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, companies would receive the balance of any pending compliance period exception to come back into compliance with the applicable Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As a result of this extension, the Company has until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten (10) consecutive business days by December 28, 2020. Management continues to believe that adherence to its current operating and business plan will enable the Company to regain compliance. If the Company is not in compliance by December 28, 2020, the Company may be afforded a second 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional time, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement.

If our Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on Nasdaq, the Company would expect that its Common Stock would be traded on one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group. In the event that we are delisted from Nasdaq, our Common Stock may lose liquidity, increase volatility, and lose market maker support.

In the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.

The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate a “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be a penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or traded on Nasdaq if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our shares of Common Stock have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such shares of Common Stock and impede their sale in the secondary market.

A U.S. broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to any “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.

You should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

If and when a larger trading market for our Common Stock develops, the market price of our Common Stock is still likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them.

The market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our shares of Common Stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of your investment in our securities. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carry-forwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carry-forwards and other pre-change tax attributes (such as research tax credits) to offset its post-change income may be limited. We may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership, including as a result of the completion of this offering when it is taken together with other transactions we may consummate in the succeeding three-year period. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carry-forwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which potentially could result in increased future tax liability to us.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our securities if you expect dividends.

The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors (“Board of Directors”) may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

This dilution is due in large part to the fact that our earlier investors paid substantially less than the public offering price when they purchased shares of Common Stock. In addition, purchasers in this offering and the conversionwill have contributed approximately [__]% of the Registered Notes,aggregate price paid by all purchasers of our Common Stock and will own approximately [__]% of our Common Stock outstanding after this offering, based on the Conversion Price.public offering price of $[__] per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrant, assuming no issuance of any Pre-Funded Warrants in this offering. The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, and the conversion of other outstanding convertible debt will result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” on page S-30 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you convert your Registered Notes. In addition, you may experience further dilution upon our election to repay the RegisteredApril 2020 Notes in shares of our Common Stock. See “Descriptionthe section entitled “Dilution” on page 37 of the Securities That We Are Offering” and “Description of Debt Securities and Convertible Debt”.this prospectus.

Exercise of options or warrants, or conversion or repayment of other convertible securities, may have a dilutive effect on your percentage ownership of Common Stock, and may result in a dilution of your voting power and an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock eligible for future resale in the public market, which may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

The exercise, conversion or conversionrepayment of some or all of our outstanding warrants or convertible securities, as applicable, could result in significant dilution in the percentage ownership interest of investors in this offering and in the percentage ownership interest of our existing common stockholders and in a significant dilution of voting rights and earnings per share.

As of May 5,21, 2020, we have warrants outstanding to purchase 6,097,947 shares of Common Stock. The warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $4.35 and a weighted average years to maturity of approximately 3.02.9 years. In addition, we have options to purchase 584,125583,625 shares of our Common Stock outstanding and exercisable at an average price of $3.69$3.68 per share.

On April 17, 2020, we issued 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to certain investors (the “April 2020 Notes”) which are convertible into or payable in shares of our Common Stock, from time to time, and we also issued warrants (the “April 2020 Warrants”) to such investors exercisable for shares of our Common Stock, from time to time, for up to 2,887,788 shares of our Common Stock. As of May 21, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the April 2020 Notes was $1,666,666. The April 2020 Notes may result in the issuance of up to 1,650,164 shares of our Common Stock upon conversion or repayment of outstanding principal balance. In addition the April 2020 Notes may result in the issuance of up to additional 248,938 shares of Common Stock which may be issued, under certain circumstances, in payment of interest on the April 2020 Notes, and for premium payments which may be payable upon prepayment of the April 2020 Notes, all in lieu of cash payments. The April 2020 Warrants may result in the issuance of up to 1,237,624 shares of our Common Stock upon exercise.

Subject to lock-up provisions described under “Underwriting,” we are generally not restricted from issuing additional securities, including shares of Common Stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Stock or substantially similar securities. In addition to the dilutive effects described above, the exercise, conversion or repayment, as applicable, of those securities would lead to an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares of Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock. Substantial dilution and/or a substantial increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for future resale may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute the ownership of the Common Stock. Depending on the terms available to us, if these activities result in significant dilution, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

We may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic relationships by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges senior to, or pari passu with, those of our Common Stock. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of Common Stock. The holders of any securities or instruments we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our common stockholders. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over common stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

Our charter documents and Nevada law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our Common Stock.

Provisions of Nevada anti-takeover law (NRS 78.378et seq.) could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring us, even if the acquisition arguably could benefit our stockholders. Various provisions of our by-laws may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of us that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest. Our by-laws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, and except as provided by Nevada law, our Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws by a vote of not less than a majority of our directors. The interests of these stockholders and directors may not be consistent with your interests, and they may make changes to the by-laws that are not in line with your concerns.

Subject to applicable Nasdaq rules regarding the issuance of 20% or more of our Common Stock, our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available for our Board or Directors to issue without stockholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, however, faced with an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy context, tender offer, merger or other transaction our Board of Directors acting alone and without approval of our stockholders can issue large amounts of capital stock as part of a defense to a take-over challenge.

The existence of the foregoing provisions and other potential anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your Common Stock in an acquisition.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock adversely, our Common Stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our Common Stock price or trading volume to decline.

The requirements of being a U.S. public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.

As a U.S. public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus, supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and in the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein, as well as in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition is more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.

We may not be able to maintain an active, liquid trading market for our Common Stock, which may cause our Common Stock to trade at a discount and make it difficult for you to sell the Common Stock you hold.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain an active market for our Common Stock either now or in the future. If an active and liquid trading market cannot be sustained, you may have difficulty selling any of our Common Stock that you hold. The market price of our Common Stock may decline below the applicable public offering price you paid in this offering, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our Common Stock at or above the price you paid, or at all.

Because our management will have broad discretion and flexibility in how the net proceeds from this offering are used, our management may use the net proceeds in ways with which you disagree or which may not prove effective.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as discussed under “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement.prospectus. We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any of the foregoing purposes. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Risks Related to our Business

We have incurred losses in recent years.

We have had net losses for several years and had an accumulated deficit of $87,388,619 at December 31, 2019, which includes our net losses of $10,005,713 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $15,544,551 for the year ended December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of $89,722,729, which includes net losses of $2,334,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We have included disclosure of our liquidity plan and the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Furthermore, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Digital Ally, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2019 included an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We have implemented several initiatives intended to improve our revenues and reduce our operating costs with a goal of restoring profitability. If we are unsuccessful in this regard, it will have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We do not have any revolving credit facilities and it may be difficult for us to enter into one.

We have no revolving credit facility to fund our operating needs should it become necessary. It will be difficult to obtain an institutional line of credit facility given our recent operating losses and the current banking environment, which may adversely affect our ability to finance our business, grow or be profitable. Further, even if we could obtain a new credit facility, in all likelihood it would not be on terms favorable to us.

If we are unable to manage our current business activities, our prospects may be limited and our future profitability may be adversely affected.

We experienced a decline in our operating results from 2009 to 2019 and to date in 2020. Our revenues have been unpredictable, which poses significant burdens on us to be proactive in managing production, personnel levels and related costs. We will need to improve our revenues, operations, financial and other systems to manage our business effectively, and any failure to do so may lead to inefficiencies and redundancies which reduce our prospects to return to profitability.

We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations and could have a material adverse impact on us, and the recent coronavirus outbreak could materially and adversely affect our business.

An outbreak of a new respiratory illness caused by COVID-19 has resulted in millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, as of the date of filing of this prospectus, supplement, and continues to spread across the globe, including throughout the law enforcement and commercial fleets channels in the United States, the major market in which we operate. The outbreak of COVID-19 or by other epidemics could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If COVID-19 worsens in the United States and Asia, or in any other regions in which we have material operations or sales, our business activities originating from affected areas, including sales, manufacturing and supply chain related activities, could be adversely affected. Although we have been deemed by the State of Kansas to be an “essential business”, our supply chain has been disrupted and our customers, in particular our commercial customers, have been significantly impacted, which has in turn reduced our operations and activities, Disruptive activities from COVID-19 could still include the temporary closure of our manufacturing facilities and those used in our supply chain processes, restrictions on the export or shipment of our products, significant cutback of ocean container delivery from Asia, business closures in impacted areas, and restrictions on our employees’ and consultants’ ability to travel and to meet with customers. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, among others. COVID-19 could also result in social, economic and labor instability in the countries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate.

If workers at one or more of our offices or the offices of our suppliers or manufacturers become ill or are quarantined and in either or both events are therefore unable to work, our operations could be subject to disruption. Further, if our manufacturers become unable to obtain necessary raw materials or components, we may incur higher supply costs or our manufacturers may be required to reduce production levels, either of which may negatively affect our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the capital markets have been disrupted and our efforts to raise necessary capital will likely be adversely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. As a result, we cannot forecast with any certainty when the disruptions caused by such outbreak will cease to impact our business and the results of our operations. In reviewing our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as the notes to such financial statements, including our discussion of our ability to continue as a going concern set forth therein, which financial statements and notes are incorporated by reference to this prospectus, supplement and accompanying base prospectus, consider the additional uncertainties caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.The extent to which COVID-19 affects our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including actions to contain COVID-19 or address and treat its effects, among others.

There are risks related to dealing with domestic governmental entities as customers.

One of the principal target markets for our products is the law enforcement community. In this market, the sale of products will be subject to budget constraints of governmental agencies purchasing these products, which could result in a significant reduction in our anticipated revenues. Such governmental agencies have experienced budgetary pressures because of the recent recession and its impact on local sales, property and income taxes that provide funding for purchasing our products. These agencies also may experience political pressure that dictates the way they spend money. Thus, even if an agency wants to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them due to budgetary or political constraints, even if such agencies have the necessary funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their internal decision-making policies and procedures.

There are risks related to dealing with foreign governmental entities as customers.

We target the law enforcement community in foreign countries for the sale of many of our products. While foreign countries vary, generally the sale of our products will be subject to political and budgetary constraints of foreign governments and agencies purchasing these products, which could result in a significant reduction in our anticipated revenues. Some foreign governments are experiencing budgetary pressures because of various reasons specific to them and their impact on taxes and tariffs that in many cases provide funding for purchasing our products. Law enforcement agencies within these countries also may experience political pressure that dictates the way they spend money. Thus, even if a foreign country or its law enforcement agencies want to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them due to budgetary or political constraints. We cannot assure investors that such governmental agencies will have the necessary funds to purchase our products even though they may want to do so. Further, even if such agencies have the necessary funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their internal decision-making policies and procedures.

International law enforcement and other agencies that may consider using our products must analyze a wide range of issues before committing to purchase products like ours, including training costs, product reliability and budgetary constraints. The length of our sales cycle may range from a few months to a year or more. We may incur substantial selling costs and expend significant effort in connection with the evaluation of our products by potential customers before they place an order. Initial orders by foreign governments and agencies typically are for a small number of units that are used to evaluate the products. If these potential customers do not purchase our products, we will have expended significant resources and receive no revenue in return. In addition, we may be selected as the vendor of choice by these foreign customers but never receive the funding necessary to purchase our product due to political or economic reasons.

We are marketing our DVM-250, DVM-250 Plus event recorder and FirstVU HD products to commercial customers, which is a relatively new sales channel for us and we may experience problems in gaining acceptance.

The principal target commercial market for our event recorder products is commercial fleet operators, such as taxi cabs, limousine services, transit buses, ambulance services and a variety of delivery services. In addition, we are marketing our FirstVU HD to commercial customers. These are relatively new sales channels for us and we may experience difficulty gaining acceptance of our other products by the targeted customers. Our sales of such products will be subject to budget constraints of both the large and small prospective customers, which could result in a significant reduction in our anticipated revenues. Certain of such companies have experienced budgetary and financial pressures for various reasons specific to them or the industry in which they operate, which may negatively impact their ability to purchase our products. Thus, even if prospective customers want to acquire our products, they may be unable to do so because of such factors. Further, even if such companies have the necessary funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their internal decision-making policies and procedures.

We are operating in a developing market and there is uncertainty as to market acceptance of our technology and products.

The markets for our new and enhanced products and technology are developing and rapidly evolving. They are characterized by an increasing number of market entrants who have developed or are developing a wide variety of products and technologies, a number of which offer certain of the features that our products offer. Because of these factors, demand and market acceptance for new products are subject to a high level of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that our technology and products will become widely accepted. It is also difficult to predict with any assurance the future growth rate, if any, and size of the market. If a substantial market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors or if our products do not achieve or continue to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Our technology may also be marketed and licensed to device manufacturers for inclusion in the products and equipment they market and sell as an embedded solution. As with other new products and technologies designed to enhance or replace existing products or technologies or change product designs, these potential partners may be reluctant to integrate our digital video recording technology into their systems unless the technology and products are proven to be both reliable and available at a competitive price. Even assuming product acceptance, our potential partners may be required to redesign their systems to effectively use our digital video recording technology. The time and costs necessary for such redesign could delay or prevent market acceptance of our technology and products. A lack of, or delay in, market acceptance of our digital video recording technology and products would adversely affect our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to market our technology and products successfully or that any of our technology or products will be accepted in the marketplace.

We expend significant resources in anticipation of a sale due to our lengthy sales cycle and may receive no revenue in return.

Generally, law enforcement and other agencies and commercial fleet and mass transit operators that may consider using our products must analyze a wide range of issues before committing to purchase products like ours, including training costs, product reliability and budgetary constraints. The length of our sales cycle may range from several months to a year or more. We may incur substantial selling costs and expend significant effort in connection with the evaluation of our products by potential customers before they place an order. Initial orders by agencies typically are for a small number of units that are used to evaluate the products. If these potential customers do not purchase our products, we will have expended significant resources and have received no revenue in return.

Our market is characterized by new products and rapid technological change.

The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology and frequent new product introductions. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to enhance our existing technologies and products and to introduce new products and technologies to meet changing customer requirements. We are currently devoting, and intend to continue to devote, significant resources toward the development of new digital video recording technology and products both as stand-alone products and embedded solutions in third party products and systems. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the development of these technologies and related products in a timely fashion or that our current or future products will satisfy the needs of the digital video recording market. There can also be no assurance that digital video recording products and technologies developed by others will not adversely affect our competitive position or render our products or technologies non-competitive or obsolete.

We depend on sales from our in-car video products and body-worn cameras and if these products become obsolete or not widely accepted, our growth prospects will be diminished.

We derived our revenues in 2018, 2019 and to date in 2020 predominantly from sales of our in-car video systems, including the DVM-800, our largest selling product, and the FirstVU HD body-worn camera, our second largest selling product. We expect to continue to depend on sales of these products during 2020, although we do expect our newly launched EVO-HD in-car system to gain traction in 2020. A decrease in the prices of, or the demand for our in-car video products, or the failure to achieve broad market acceptance of our new product offerings, would significantly harm our growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.

We substantially depend on our research and development activities to design new products and upgrades to existing products and if these products are not widely accepted, or we encounter difficulties and delays in launching these new products, our growth prospects will be diminished.

We have a number of active research and development projects underway that are intended to launch new products or upgrades to existing products. We may incur substantial costs and/or delays in completion of these activities that may not result in viable products or may not be received well by our potential customers. We incurred $2,005,717$485,748 and $1,444,063$462,171 in research and development expenses during the yearsthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, which represent a substantial expense in relation to our total revenues and net losses. If we are unsuccessful in bringing these products from the engineering prototype phase to commercial production, we could incur additional expenses (in addition to those already spent) without receiving revenues from the new products. Also, these new products may fail to achieve broad market acceptance and may not generate revenue to cover expenses incurred to design, develop, produce and market the new product offerings. Substantial delays in the launch of one or more products could negatively impact our revenues and increase our costs, which could significantly harm our growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.

If we are unable to compete in our market, you may lose all or part of your investment.

The law enforcement and security surveillance markets are extremely competitive. Competitive factors in these industries include ease of use, quality, portability, versatility, reliability, accuracy and cost. There are companies with direct competitive technology and products in the law enforcement and surveillance markets for all our products and those we have in development. Many of these competitors have significant advantages over us, including greater financial, technical, marketing and manufacturing resources, more extensive distribution channels, larger customer bases and faster response times to adapt new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Our primary competitors include L-3 Mobile-Vision, Inc., Coban Technologies, Inc., WatchGuard, Kustom Signals, Panasonic System Communications Company, International Police Technologies, Inc. and a number of other competitors who sell or may in the future sell in-car video systems to law enforcement agencies. Our primary competitors in the body-worn camera market include Axon, Reveal Media and WatchGuard. We face similar and intense competitive factors for our event recorders in the mass transit markets as we do in the law enforcement and security surveillance markets. We will also compete with any company making surveillance devices for commercial use. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical marketing, and manufacturing resources than we do. Our primary competitors in the commercial fleet sector include Lytx, Inc. (previously DriveCam, Inc.) and SmartDrive Systems.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in these markets. Further, there can be no assurance that new and existing companies will not enter the law enforcement and security surveillance markets in the future.

Although we believe that our products will be distinguishable from those of our competitors based on their technological features and functionality at an attractive value proposition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to penetrate any of our anticipated competitors’ portions of the market. Many of our anticipated competitors may have existing relationships with equipment or device manufacturers that may impede our ability to market our technology to those potential customers and build market share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. If we are not successful in competing against our current and future competitors, you could lose your entire investment. See “Business – Competition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 that we filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020 for additional information.

Defects in our products could impair our ability to sell our products or could result in litigation and other significant costs.

Any significant defects in our products may result in, among other things, delay in time-to-market, loss of market acceptance and sales of our products, diversion of development resources, and injury to our reputation, or increased warranty costs. Because our products are technologically complex, they may contain defects that cannot be detected prior to shipment. These defects could harm our reputation and impair our ability to sell our products. The costs we may incur in correcting any product defects may be substantial and could decrease our profit margins. In 2018 and 2017, we had certain product quality issues with the DVM-800 and FirstVU HD, which adversely affected our revenues and operating results however, these issues have been successfully mitigated at this time.

In addition, errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers, which could result in litigation. Product liability litigation, even if we prevail, would be time consuming and costly to defend. Our product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover claims. Our product liability insurance coverage per occurrence is $1,000,000, with a $2,000,000 aggregate for our general business liability coverage and an additional $1,000,000 per occurrence. Our excess or umbrella liability coverage per occurrence and in aggregate is $5,000,000.

Product defects can be caused by design errors, programming bugs, or defects in component parts or raw materials. This is common to every product manufactured which is based on modern electronic and computer technology. Because of the extreme complexity of digital in-car video systems, one of the key concerns is operating software robustness. Some of the software modules are provided to us by outside vendors under license agreements, while other portions are developed by our own software engineers. As with any software-dependent product, “bugs” can occur, even with rigorous testing before release of the product. The software included in our digital video rear view mirror products is designed to be “field upgradeable” so that changes or fixes can be made by the end user by downloading new software through the internet. We intend to incorporate this technology into any future products as well, providing a quick resolution to potential software issues that may arise over time.

As with all electronic devices, hardware issues can arise from many sources. The component electronic parts that we utilize come from many sources around the world. We attempt to mitigate the possibility of shipping defective products by fully testing sub-assemblies and thoroughly testing assembled units before they are shipped out to our customers. Because of the nature and complexity of some of the electronic components used, such as microprocessor chips, memory systems, and zoom video camera modules, it is not technically or financially realistic to attempt to test every single aspect of every single component and their potential interactions. By using components from reputable and reliable sources, and by using professional engineering, assembly, and testing methods, we seek to limit the possibility of defects slipping through. In addition to internal testing, we now have thousands of units in the hands of law enforcement departments and in use every day. Over the past years of field use, we have addressed a number of subtle issues and made refinements requested by the end-user.

We are dependent on key personnel.

Our success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers, Stanton E. Ross and Thomas J. Heckman. We do not have employment agreements with Messrs. Ross or Heckman, although we entered into retention agreements with such officers on December 23, 2008, which were amended in April 2018. The loss of the services of either of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future. We have not obtained key-man life insurance policies on these individuals. We are also dependent to a substantial degree on our technical, research and development staff. Our success will be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified technical, research, management, marketing and financial personnel. We will compete with other companies with greater financial and other resources for such personnel. Although we have not had trouble in attracting qualified personnel to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our present personnel or acquire additional qualified personnel as and when needed.

We are dependent on manufacturers and suppliers.

We purchase, and intend to continue to purchase, substantially all the components for our products and some entire products, from a limited number of manufacturers and suppliers, most of whom are located outside the United States. Our internal process is principally to assemble the various components and subassemblies manufactured by our suppliers and test the assembled product prior to shipping to our customers. We do not intend to directly manufacture any of the equipment or parts to be used in our products. Our reliance upon outside manufacturers and suppliers, including foreign suppliers, is expected to continue, increase in scope and involves several risks, including limited control over the availability of components, and products themselves and related delivery schedules, pricing and product quality. We may be subject to political and social risks associated with specific regions of the world including those that may be subject to changes in tariffs that may have substantial effects on our product costs and supply chain reliability and availability. We may experience delays, additional expenses and lost sales if we are required to locate and qualify alternative manufacturers and suppliers.

A few of the semiconductor chip components for our products are produced by a very small number of specialized manufacturers. Currently, we purchase one essential semiconductor chip from a single manufacturer who currently sources such chipsets from the Philippines, China, Taiwan and South Korea, among other countries. While we believe that there are alternative sources of supply, if, for any reason, we are precluded from obtaining such a semiconductor chip from this manufacturer, we may experience long delays in product delivery due to the difficulty and complexity involved in producing the required component and we may also be required to pay higher costs for our components.

While we do the final assembly, testing, packaging, and shipment of certain of our products in-house, a number of our component parts are manufactured by subcontractors. These subcontractors include: raw circuit board manufacturers; circuit board assembly houses; injection plastic molders; metal parts fabricators; and other custom component providers. While we are dependent upon these subcontractors to the extent that they are producing custom subassemblies and components necessary for manufacturing our products, we still own the designs and intellectual property involved. This means that the failure of any one contractor to perform may cause delays in production. However, we can mitigate potential interruptions by maintaining “buffer stocks” of critical parts and subassemblies and by using multiple sources for critical components. We also can move our subcontracting to alternate providers. Being forced to use a different subcontractor could cause production interruptions ranging from negligible, such as a few weeks, to very costly, such as four to six months. Further, the failure of a foreign manufacturer to deliver products to us timely, in sufficient quantities and with the requisite quality would have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition.

The only components that would require a complete redesign of our digital video electronics package are the chips manufactured by Texas Instruments Incorporated (“Texas Instruments”). While there are competitive products available, each chip has unique characteristics that would require extensive tailoring of product designs to use it. The Texas Instruments chip is the heart of our video processing system. If Texas Instruments became unwilling or unable to provide us with these chips, we would be forced to redesign our digital video encoder and decoder systems. Such a complete redesign could take substantial time (over six months) to complete. We attempt to mitigate the potential for interruption by maintaining continuous stocks of these chips to support several months’ worth of production. In addition, we regularly check on the end-of-life status of these parts to make sure that we will know well in advance of any decisions by Texas Instruments to discontinue these parts. There are other semiconductors that are integral to our product design and which could cause delays if discontinued, but not to the same scale as the Texas Instruments chips.

Although we have not historically had significant supply chain issues with these manufacturers, suppliers, and subcontractors, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our present relationships and should we lose these manufacturers, suppliers, and subcontractors, our business would be adversely affected.

We are uncertain of our ability to protect technology through patents.

Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting our proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad. We have filed for at least 37 patents for protection in the United States and certain other countries to cover certain design aspects of our products.

We have been issued at least 22 patents to date by the USPTO. In addition, we have at least 15 patent applications that are still under review by the U.S. Patent Office and, therefore, we have not yet been issued all the patents that we applied for in the United States. No assurance can be given that any patents relating to our existing technology will be issued from the United States or any foreign patent offices, that we will receive any patents in the future based on our continued development of our technology, or that our patent protection within and/or outside of the United States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or otherwise, from developing or marketing competitive products utilizing our technologies.

If our patents were to be denied as filed, we would seek to obtain different patents for other parts of our technology. If our main patent, which relates to the placement of the in-car video system in a rear-view mirror, were to be challenged and denied, it could potentially allow our competitors to build very similar devices. Currently, this patent is not being challenged. However, we believe that very few of our competitors would be capable of this because of the level of technical sophistication and level of miniaturization required. Even if we obtain patents, there can be no assurance that they will be enforceable to prevent others from developing and marketing competitive products or methods. If we bring an infringement action relating to any future patents, it may require the diversion of substantial funds from our operations and may require management to expend efforts that might otherwise be devoted to our operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in enforcing our patent rights.

Further, if any patents are issued there can be no assurance that patent infringement claims in the United States or in other countries will not be asserted against us by a competitor or others, or if asserted, that we will be successful in defending against such claims. If one of our products is adjudged to infringe patents of others with the likely consequence of a damage award, we may be enjoined from using and selling such product or be required to obtain a royalty-bearing license, if available on acceptable terms. Alternatively, if a license is not offered, we might be required, if possible, to redesign those aspects of the product held to infringe to avoid infringement liability. Any redesign efforts we undertake might be expensive, could delay the introduction or the re-introduction of our products into certain markets, or may be so significant as to be impractical.

We are involved in litigation relating to our intellectual property.

We are subject to various legal proceedings arising from normal business operations. Although there can be no assurances, based on the information currently available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of each of the actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, an adverse outcome in certain of the actions could have a material adverse effect on our financial results in the period in which it is recorded.

Axon Enterprises, Inc. (Formerly Taser International, Inc.). The Company owns U.S. Patent No. 9,253,452 (the “452 Patent”), which generally covers the automatic activation and coordination of multiple recording devices in response to a triggering event, such as a law enforcement officer activating the light bar on the vehicle.

The Company filed suit on January 15, 2016 with the U.S. District Court (Case No: 2:16-cv-02032) against Axon, alleging willful patent infringement against Axon’s body camera product line and signal auto-activation product. The Company is seeking both monetary damages and a permanent injunction against Axon for infringement of the ‘452 Patent.

In addition to the infringement claims, the Company brought claims alleging that Axon conspired to keep the Company out of the marketplace by engaging in improper, unethical and unfair competition. The amended lawsuit alleges that Axon bribed officials and otherwise conspired to secure no-bid contracts for its products in violation of both state law and federal antitrust law. The Company’s lawsuit also seeks monetary and injunctive relief, including treble damages, for these alleged violations.

Axon filed an answer, which denied the Company’s patent infringement allegations on April 1, 2016. In addition, Axon filed a motion to dismiss all such allegations in the complaint on March 4, 2016, for which the Company filed an amended complaint on March 18, 2016 to address certain technical deficiencies in the pleadings. The Company amended its complaint and Axon renewed its motion to seek dismissal of the allegations that it had bribed officials and otherwise conspired to secure no-bid contracts for its products in violation of both state law and federal antitrust law on April 1, 2016. Formal discovery commenced on April 12, 2016 with respect to the patent related claims. In January 2017, the U.S. District Court granted Axon’s motion to dismiss the portion of the lawsuit regarding claims that it had bribed officials and otherwise conspired to secure no-bid contracts for its products in violation of both state law and federal antitrust law. On May 2, 2018, the Federal Circuit Court affirmed the U.S. District Court’s ruling relative to the antitrust portion of the lawsuit and on October 1, 2018 the Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for review.

In December 2016 and January 2017, Axon filed two petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) against the ‘452 Patent. The USPTO rejected both of Axon’s petitions. Axon is now statutorily precluded from filing any more IPR petitions against the ‘452 Patent.

The U.S. District Court litigation was temporarily stayed following the filing of the petitions for IPR. However, on November 17, 2017, the U.S. District Court rejected Axon’s request to maintain the stay. With this significant ruling, the parties proceeded towards trial. When litigation resumed, the U.S. District Court issued a claim construction order (also called a Markman Order) where it sided with the Company on all disputes and denied Axon’s attempts to limit the scope of the claims. Fact discovery closed on October 8, 2018, and a final pretrial conference took place on January 16, 2019. The parties each filed a motion for summary judgment on January 31, 2019, and the U.S. District Court granted Axon’s motion for summary judgment on June 17, 2019. Importantly, the U.S. District Court’s ruling did not find that the Company’s ‘452 Patent was invalid. It also did not address any other issue, such as whether the Company’s requested damages were appropriate, and it does not impact the Company’s ability to file additional lawsuits to hold other competitors accountable for patent infringement. This ruling solely related to an interpretation of the Company’s claims as they relate to Axon and was unrelated to the supplemental briefing the Company filed on its damages claim and the WatchGuard settlement. Those issues are separate and the U.S. District Court’s ruling on the motion for summary judgment had nothing to do with the Company’s damages request.

The Company filed an opening appeal brief on August 26, 2019 with the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), appealing the U.S. District Court’s granting of Axon’s motion for summary judgment, Axon responded by filing a responsive brief on November 6, 2019 and the Company then filed a reply brief responding to Axon on November 27, 2019. The Court of Appeals scheduled oral arguments on the Company’s appeal of the U.S. District Court’s summary judgment ruling on April 6, 2020. This appeal was intended to address the Company’s position that the U.S. District Court incorrectly dismissed the Company’s claims against Axon. If the Court of Appeals overturns the ruling of the U.S. District Court, the case will be remanded to the U.S. District Court before a new judge. On March 12, 2020, the panel of judges for the Court of Appeals issued an order cancelling the oral arguments previously set for April 6, 2020 having determined that the appeal will be decided solely based on the parties’ briefs. On April 22, 2020, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals denied our appeal and affirmed the District Court’s previous decision to grant Axon summary judgment. The Company is considering asking for a rehearing in front of the three-judge panel or the entire Court of Appeals.

Enforcement Video, LLC d/b/a WatchGuard Video. On May 27, 2016, the Company filed suit against WatchGuard, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (Case No. 2:16-cv-02349-JTM-JPO) alleging patent infringement based on WatchGuard’s VISTA Wifi and 4RE In-Car product lines.

The USPTO has granted multiple patents to the Company with claims covering numerous features, such as automatically activating all deployed cameras in response to the activation of just one camera. Additionally, the Company’s patent claims cover automatic coordination as well as digital synchronization between multiple recording devices. The Company also has patent coverage directed to the coordination between a multi-camera system and an officer’s smartphone, which allows an officer to more readily assess an event on the scene while an event is taking place or immediately after it has occurred.

The Company’s lawsuit alleged that WatchGuard incorporated this patented technology into its VISTA Wifi and 4RE In-Car product lines without the Company’s permission. Specifically, the Company accused WatchGuard of infringing three patents: the U.S. Patent No. 8,781,292 (the “‘292 Patent”), the ‘452 Patent and U.S. Patent No. 9,325,950 (the “950 Patent”). The Company aggressively challenged WatchGuard’s infringing conduct, seeking both monetary damages, as well as seeking a permanent injunction preventing WatchGuard from continuing to sell its VISTA Wifi and 4RE In-Car product lines using the Company’s own technology to compete against it. On May 8, 2017, WatchGuard filed a petition seeking IPR of the ‘950 Patent. The Company opposed that petition and on December 4, 2017, The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) rejected WatchGuard’s request to institute an IPR on the ‘950 Patent. The lawsuit also involved the ‘292 Patent and the ‘452 Patent, the ‘452 Patent being the same patent involved in the Company’s claims asserted against Axon. The ‘292 Patent previously was subject to the IPR process with the USPTO, but in June 2018, the USPTO rejected Axon’s arguments and did not invalidate the ‘292 Patent. WatchGuard had previously agreed to be bound by Axon’s IPRs and, as such, WatchGuard is now statutorily barred from any further IPR challenges with respect to the ‘950 Patent, ‘452 Patent, and ‘292 Patent. Since the defeat of Axon’s ‘292 Patent IPR, the Court has lifted the stay and set a schedule which had moved the case towards trial. On May 13, 2019, the parties resolved the dispute and executed a settlement agreement in the form of a Release and License Agreement. The litigation has been dismissed as a result of this settlement.

The resolution of the dispute centers includes the following key terms:

PGA Tour, Inc. On January 22, 2019 the PGA Tour, Inc. (the “PGA”) filed suit against the Company in the Federal District Court for the District of Kansas (Case No. 2:19-cv-0033-CM-KGG) alleging breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing relating to the Web.com Tour Title Sponsor Agreement (the “Agreement”). The contract was executed on April 16, 2015 by and between the parties. Under the Agreement, the Company would be a title sponsor of and receive certain naming and other rights and benefits associated with the Web.com Tour for 2015 through 2019 in exchange for the Company’s payment to the PGA of annual sponsorship fees. The suit has been resolved and the case has been dismissed with prejudice on April 17, 2019.

The Company is also involved as a plaintiff and defendant in ordinary, routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to its business from time to time, including customer collections, vendor and employment-related matters. The Company believes the likely outcome of any other pending cases and proceedings will not be material to its business or its financial condition.

We are uncertain of our ability to protect our proprietary technology and information.

In addition to seeking patent protection, we rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to seek to achieve and thereafter maintain a competitive advantage. Although we have entered into or intend to enter into confidentiality and invention agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors, no assurance can be given that such agreements will be honored or that we will be able to effectively protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and know-how. Moreover, no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.

Foreign currency fluctuations may affect our competitiveness and sales in foreign markets.

The relative change in currency values creates fluctuations in our product pricing for potential international customers. These changes in foreign end-user costs may result in lost orders and reduce the competitiveness of our products in certain foreign markets. These changes may also negatively affect the financial condition of some existing or potential foreign customers and reduce or eliminate their future orders of our products. We also import selected components which are used in the manufacturing of some of our products. Although our purchase orders are in the United States dollar, weakness in the United States dollar could lead to price increases for the components.

Risks related to our license arrangements.

We have licensing agreements with Sasken and Lead regarding certain software used as the platform for the proprietary software we have developed for use in our products. These licensing agreements have specified terms and are renewable on an annual basis unless both parties determine not to renew them and provided the parties are in compliance with the agreements. If we fail to make the payments under these licenses or if these licenses are not renewed for any reason, it would cause us significant time and expense to redevelop our software on a different software platform, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate unexpectedly from quarter to quarter, which may cause our stock price to decline.

Our revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future due to various factors that are both in and outside our control. Thus, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful in the short-term, and our performance in a particular period may not be indicative of our performance in any future period.

We are a party to several lawsuits both as a plaintiff and as a defendant in which we may ultimately not prevail, resulting in losses and which may cause our stock price to decline.

We are involved as a plaintiff and defendant in routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to our business from time to time, including customer collections, vendor and employment-related matters. See “Prospectus Supplement Summary” for additional information. We believe that the likely outcome of any other pending cases and proceedings will not be material to our business or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the litigation or proceedings or that we may not have to pay damages or other awards to the other party.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus in this offering will be approximately $[  ] million (or $[  ] million if the underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option), excluding any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants issued in connection with this offering, based upon a public offering price of $[  ] per share and accompanying Warrant, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including for compliance with certain Nasdaq continued listing requirement and continued investments in our commercialization efforts. We may use a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisitions of businesses, products, technologies or licenses that are complementary to our business, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so.

The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents our estimates based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding industry and general economic conditions, our future revenues and expenditures.

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly and will depend on numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated or used by our operations, business developments and opportunities that may arise and related rate of growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.

Circumstances that may give rise to a change in the use of proceeds and the alternate purposes for which the proceeds may be used include:

From time to time, we evaluate these factors and other factors and we anticipate continuing to make such evaluations to determine if the existing allocation of resources, including the proceeds of this offering, is being optimized. Pending the application of the net proceeds as described above, we will hold the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, securities.

We believe that the net proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the balance of 2020, and we believe that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations thereafter if warrant exercises for cash do not materialize. Additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or additional security interests in our assets. Any additional debt or equity financing that we complete may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of, our development programs or liquidate some or all of our assets.

APRIL 2020 REGISTERED OFFERING AND CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On April 17, 2020, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Institutional Investors, providing for the issuance of (i) the Company’s 8% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due April 16, 2021 with an aggregate principal face amount of $1,666,666, which notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into an aggregate of 1,650,164 shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share of $1.01 and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,237,624 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.31, subject to customary adjustments, which warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the warrants have not been registered 180 days after the date of issuance. The closing of the Offering (as defined below) occurred simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and related transaction documents, pursuant to which the Institutional Investors purchased such notes and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of $500,000 in principal amount of such notes (the “Registered Notes”), and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Registered Notes, were issued to the Institutional Investors in the Registered Offering and registered under the Securities Act pursuant the Shelf Registration Statement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued to the Institutional Investors in the Private Placement (together with the Registered Offering, the “Offering”), the remaining aggregate of $1,166,666 in principal amount of Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Institutional Warrants and the Institutional Warrant Shares. We also entered into a Registration Rights Side Letter, dated April 17, 2020, with the Institutional Investors agreeing to use our best efforts to file, within 30 days after the closing of the Offering, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, to register the applicable Conversion Shares and the Institutional Warrant Shares, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective, within 90 days after the closing date of the Offering to permit the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Institutional Warrant Shares by the Institutional Investors.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we and our subsidiary entered into a security agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020, with the Institutional Investors (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which we and our subsidiary granted to the Institutional Investors a security interest in, among other items, we and our subsidiary’s accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds, as set forth in the Security Agreement. In addition, pursuant to an intellectual property security agreement, dated as of April 17, 2020 (the “IP Security Agreement”), we granted to the Institutional Investors a continuing security interest in all of our right, title and interest in, to and under certain of our trademarks, copyrights and patents.
