NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES
Nature ofOperations
Duos Techologies, Inc. (the Company, we, our or Duos) is a Florida corporation organized on November 30, 1990 as a subsidiary of its then parent company Enviromental Capital Holdings, Inc. (ECH). In 2002 Duos spun off from ECH and became an independent entity. The Company is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.
Duos is primarily engaged in the design and deployment of state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence driven intelligent technologies systems, with a focus on homeland security applications. Duos converges traditional security measures with information technologies to create “actionable intelligence.” Duos’ IP is built upon two of its core technology platforms (praesidium®andcentraco™),both distributed as licensed software suites, and natively embedded within engineered turnkey systems (see detailed description of the Company’s products at its website www.duostech.com).praesidum® is a modular suite of analytics applications which process and simultaneously analyze data streams from a virtually unlimited number of conventional sensors and/or data points. Native algorithms compare analyzed data against user-defined criteria and rules in real time and automatically report any exceptions, deviations and/or anomalies. This application suite also includes a broad range of conventional operational system components and subsystems, including an embedded feature-rich video management engine and a proprietary Alarm Management Service (“AMS”).This unique service provides continuous monitoring of all connected devices, processes, equipment and sub-systems, and automatically communicates to the front end-user interface, if and when an issue, event or performance anomalies are detected.centraco™is a comprehensive user interface that includes the functionalities of a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system as well as those of an Enterprise Information System (EIS) . This multi-layered interface can be securely installed as a stand-alone application suite inside a local area network or pushed outside a wide area network using the same browser-based interface. It leverages industry standards for data security, access, and encryption as appropriate. The platform also operates as a cloud-hosted solution.
The Company’s primary clients are railroad owner/operators, petro-chemical plants, utilities and hospitals that are protentially vulnerable to attack, and in the case of the railroads, illegal ridership and border security issues.

We baseourestimates onhistorical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which formthe basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from theseestimates.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of FinancialInstruments
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) inthe principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect marketdata obtainedfromindependentsources,whileunobservableinputs(lowestlevel)reflectinternallydevelopedmarketassumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
| · | Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets andliabilities in active markets; |
| · | Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly orindirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets thatare notactive,orotherinputsthatareobservableorcanbecorroboratedbyobservablemarketdatafor substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities;and |
| · | Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that is significant to thefair value of assets or liabilities. |

Recoverability of assets to be held and usedis measuredbyacomparisonofthecarryingamountofanassettofutureundiscountednetcashflowsexpectedtobe generated by the asset.

The blended Federal and State tax rate of 37.6% applies to loss before taxes. The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
| | Years ended December 31, |
| | 2014 | | 2013 |
Income tax benefit at U.S. statutory rate of 34% | | $ | (716,385 | ) | | $ | (534,874 | ) |
State income taxes | | | (75,853 | ) | | | (56,634 | ) |
Non-deductible expenses | | | 148,876 | | | | 10,239 | |
Change in valuation allowance | | | 643,362 | | | | 581,269 | |
Total provision for income tax | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
The Company’s approximate net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:
Deferred Tax Assets: | | December 31, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Net operating loss carryforward | | $ | 4,413,962 | | | $ | 3,737,841 | |
Intangible assets | | | 250,869 | | | | 283,628 | |
| | | 4,664,831 | | | | 4,021,469 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (4,664,831 | ) | | | (4,021,469 | ) |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
The net operating loss carryforward was approximately $11,739,000 and $9,941,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because it was not known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward and other deferred tax assets. The increase in the valuation allowance was $643,362 in 2014.
The potential tax benefit arising from the loss carryforward will expire in years through 2034. Additionally, the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that could occur in the future in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If necessary, the deferred tax assets will be reduced by any carryforward that expires prior to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. The Company’s 2014, 2013 and 2012 Corporate Income Tax Returns are subject to Internal Revenue Service examination.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position.

Amendment to Stock PurchaseAgreement
On February 12, 2015, the Company executed an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement (see Note 11) withUnity International Group (UIG). The original agreement was due to expire on January 31, 2015 without the payment of a $150,000 extension fee by Duos to UIG. The amendment calls for certain changes in terms and conditions relatedto theoriginalstockpurchaseagreementincludinganadjustmentofthepurchasepricefrom$10Mto$7Mofwhich $6.75Mwillbepaidincashandthebalanceof$250KpaidinISAstockbasedonthefactthatDuoshad successfully agreed to a reverse merger with Information Systems Associates (ISA) although that transaction wasnot consummated at the time of this amendment. Certain other conditions were also amended including an extensionof theclosingdate,withoutpaymentofanextensionfeetoMarch31,2015andafurtheroptionalextensionperiodto May 31, 2015 with the payment of an extension fee of $150,000 with certain credits of this fee against thepurchase priceifthe dealwas closed byApril30,2015.OnApril 1,2015,Duos closed its reverse mergerwithISA as a condition precedent to closing the UDC transaction and on April 5, 2015, remitted $150,000 in payment of the extension fee to UIG thereby extending the agreement to May 31, 2015. As of this report, the merged entity had not closed the requisite financing envisioned by the original stock purchase agreement and therefore didnot consummate the acquisition of UDC. The Company and UIG have had further communication relating to the extension of the closing date but, as of the date of this report, there has been no express consent by UIG to extend the closing date.
Placement AgencyAgreement
On February 18, 2015, Duos agreed to engage an exclusive placement agent in connection with the possible private placement of equity, equity-linked or debt securities (the “Agreement”). The Agreement is for an initial term of 180 days and calls for a transaction fee equal to 9% of amounts raised in the offering by the agent from qualified investors, payable in cash upon closing, and warrants for 9% of the aggregate amount of all equity and equity-linked securities actually placed in the offering by the agent. Additionally, Duos undertook to pay costs and expenses of the placement agent associated with the offering, which were not to exceed $40,000. As of the date of this report, the Company and agent are in the process of terminating the placement agency agreement; no success fee amounts are due under this agreement. Previously, on October 30, 2014, such entity was engaged as an exclusive financial advisor and pursuant to such agreement was paid a total of $15,000 in respect of the merger with ISA.

Reverse Merger
On April 1, 2015, the Company completed a reverse triangular merger, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan ofMerger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company (“Duos”), Information Systems Associates, Inc. (ISA) , apublicly tradedcompanyandDuosAcquisitionCorporation,aFloridacorporationandwhollyownedsubsidiaryofISA (“MergerSub”).Under thetermsoftheMergerAgreement,MergerSubmergedwithandintoDuos,withDuosremaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISA (the “Merger”). The Mergerwas effectiveasofApril1,2015,uponthefilingofacopyoftheMergerAgreementandarticlesofmergerwiththe Secretary of State of the State of Florida (the “Effective Time”). As part of the merger agreement ISA confirmedto Duosexecutivesthatitsstockholders would receive 60,000,000commonshares of ISA.The Company intendsto carryon Duos’businessasa lineofbusinessfollowingtheMerger.TheCompanyalsointendstocontinueISA's existing operations through its existing wholly owned subsidiary, TrueVue 360, Inc. Duos made the decision to become a public company to give it broader access to the public financial markets to support its growth goals. The objective was to streamline the merger process by finding a clean, operating entity with no “toxic” debt and that was not and had never been a shell company, which Duos believes it has achieved with the merger with ISA.
