DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”), through its operating subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc. and TrueVue360, Inc. (collectively the “Company”), develops and deploys vision based analytical technology solutions that will help to transform precision railroading, logistics and inter-modal transportation operations. Additionally, these unique patented solutions can be employed into many other industries.

The Company has developed the Railcar Inspection Portal (RIP) that provides both freight and transit railroad customers and select government agencies the ability to conduct fully automated inspections of trains while they are in transit. The system, which incorporates a variety of sophisticated optical technologies, illumination and other sensors, scans each passing railcar to create an extremely high-resolution image set from a variety of angles including the undercarriage. These images are then processed through various methods of artificial intelligence (“AI”) algorithms to identify specific defects and/or areas of interest on each railcar. This is all accomplished within minutes of a railcar passing through our portal. This solution has the potential to transform the railroad industry by increasing safety, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The Company has successfully deployed this system with several Class 1 railroad customers and anticipates an increased demand in the future. Government agencies can conduct digital inspections combined with the incorporated AI to improve rail traffic flow across borders which also directly benefits the Class 1 railroads through increasing their velocity.

The Company has also developed the Automated Logistics Information System (ALIS) which automates and reduces/removes personnel from gatehouses where trucks enter and exit large logistics and intermodal facilities. This solution also incorporates sensors and data points as necessary for each operation and directly interconnects with backend logistics databases and processes to streamline operations and significantly improve operations and security and importantly dramatically improves the vehicle throughput on each lane on which the technology is deployed.

The Company has built a portfolio of IP and patented solutions that creates “actionable intelligence” using two core native platforms called Centraco® and Praesidium™. All solutions provided include a variant of both applications. Centraco is designed primarily as the user interface to all our systems as well as the backend connection to third-party applications and databases through both Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs). This interface is browser based and hosted within each one of our systems and solutions. It is typically also customized for each unique customer and application. Praesidium typically resides as middleware in our systems and manages the various image capture devices and some sensors for input into the Centraco software.

The Company also developed a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) software platform, Truevue360™ with the objective of focusing the Company’s advanced intelligent technologies in the areas of AI, deep machine learning and advanced multi-layered algorithms to further support our solutions. The Company also offers technical support services for the above products.

The Company also provided professional and consulting services for large data centers and had developed a system for the automation of asset information marketed as DcVue™. The Company had deployed its DcVue software at one beta site. This software was used by Duos’ consulting auditing teams. DcVue was based upon the Company’s OSPI patent which was awarded in 2010. The Company offered DcVue available for license to our customers as a licensed software product. The Company ceased offering this product in 2021.

The Company’s strategy is to deliver operational and technical excellence to our customers, expand our RIP and ALIS solutions into current and new customers focused in the Rail, Logistics and U.S. Government Sectors, offer both CAPEX and OPEX pricing models to customers that increases recurring revenue, grows backlog and improves profitability, responsibly grow the business both organically and through selective acquisitions, and promote a performance-based work force where employees enjoy their work and are incentivized to excel and remain with the Company.

DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Duos Technologies Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc and TrueVue360. Inc. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of intangible and other long-lived assets, estimates of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to determine progress towards contract completion, estimates of the valuation of right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, valuation of warrants issued with debt and valuation of stock-based awards. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the 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 these estimates.

Concentrations

Cash Concentrations

Cash is maintained at financial institutions and at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses related to these balances. As of March 31, 2022, the balance in one financial institution exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $4,827,300.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, four customers accounted for 24% (“Customer 2”), 35% (“Customer 1”), 13% (“Customer 3”) and 11% (“Customer 4”) of revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 79% (“Customer 2”) of revenues. In all cases, there is no minimum contract value stated. Each contract covers an agreement to deliver a rail inspection portal which, once accepted, must be paid in full with 30% or more being due and payable prior to delivery. The balances of the contracts are for service and maintenance which is paid annually in advance with revenues recorded ratably over the contract period. Each of the customers referenced has the following termination provisions:

| · | Customer 1, termination can be made, prior to delivery of products or services, in the case where either party breaches any of its obligations under the agreement between the parties. The other party may terminate the agreement effective 15 Business Days following notice from the non-defaulting party, if the non-performance has not been cured within such period, and without prejudice to damages that could be claimed by the non-defaulting party. Either party may terminate the agreement if the other party becomes unable to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business; goes into liquidation (other than for the purpose of a genuine amalgamation or restructuring); has a receiver appointed over all or part of its assets; enters into a composition or voluntary arrangement with its creditors; or any similar event occurs in any jurisdiction, all to the extent permitted by law.

| · | For Customer 2, prior to delivery of products or services, either party may terminate the agreement between the parties upon the other party’s material breach of a representation, warranty, term, covenant or undertaking in the agreement if, within 30 days following the delivery of a written notice to the defaulting party setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such default, the defaulting party has not rectified such default to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-defaulting party. Failure to perform due to a force majeure condition shall not be considered a material default under the agreement.

DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

| · | For Customer 3, prior to delivery of products or services if the customer terminates the statement of work for convenience, no refund of any advance payments will be due to Customer 3. ln the event of a material breach by the Company, which breach is not cured, or cure has not begun within 30 days of written notice to the Company by Customer 3, Customer 3 may terminate this statement of work for cause. In the event of termination by Customer 3 for cause, the Company shall reimburse Customer 3 any unused prepaid fees on a pro rata basis.

| · | For Customer 4, if the customer terminates this Agreement for convenience, no refund, of any advance payments, will be due to Customer 4. In the event of a material breach by Duos, which breach is not cured, or cure has not begun within 30 days of written notice to Duos by Customer 4, Customer 4 may terminate this Agreement for cause. In the event of termination by Customer 4 for cause, Duos shall reimburse Customer any unused advanced payments or pre-paid fees on a pro rata basis.

At March 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 45%, 32% and 17% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2021, two customers accounted for 81% and 10%, of accounts receivable. Much of the credit risk is mitigated since all of the customers listed here are Class 1 railroads or large government funded national railroad. The Class 1 railroads have a multi-year history of timely payments to us.

Geographic Concentration

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 54% of revenue was generated from three customers outside of the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, approximately 86% of revenue was generated from three customers outside of the United States. These customers are Canadian and Mexican, and two of the three are Class 1 railroads operating in the United States.

Significant Vendors and Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 2022, three vendors accounted for 13%, 14% and 18% of accounts payable. At December 31, 2021, one vendor accounted for 14% of accounts payable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions that the market participants would use in the valuation of the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development costs. The technological feasibility of a software product is established when the Company has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product meets its design specifications, including functionality, features, and technical performance requirements. Software development costs incurred after establishing technological feasibility for software sold as a perpetual license, as defined within ASC 985-20 (Software – Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed) are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general release to customers.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments, convertible preferred stock or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2022, there was an aggregate of 1,376,466 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock. At March 31, 2022, there were employee stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,096,266 shares of common stock. Also, at March 31, 2022, 121,571 common shares were issuable upon conversion of Series B convertible preferred stock all of which were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining the collections on the account, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. The Company reviews its accounts to estimate losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing of when certain types of revenues will be recognized. The basic principles in ASC 606 include the following: a contract with a customer creates distinct contract assets and performance obligations, satisfaction of a performance obligation creates revenue, and a performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of control to a good or service to a customer.

Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:

| 1. | Identify the contract with the customer;

| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

| 3. | Determine the transaction price;

| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and

| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

9

DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

The Company generates revenues from four sources:

| 1. | Technology Systems;

| 2. | AI Technology;

| 3. | Technical Support; and

| 4. | Consulting Services.

For revenues related to technology systems, the Company recognizes revenue over time using a cost-based input methodology in which significant judgment is required to estimate costs to complete projects. These estimated costs are then used to determine the progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

Accordingly, the Company bases its technology systems revenue recognition on ASC 606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service transfers over time if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date including a profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control is deemed to pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are manufactured and revenue is recognized accordingly.

In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred. Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation. To accurately reflect revenue recognition based on the input method, the Company has adopted the implementation guidance as set out in ASC-606-10-55-187 through 192.

Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and other allocable direct costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “contract assets”. Any billings of customers more than recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “contract liabilities”. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined.

The Company has revenue from applications that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of predetermined algorithms which provide important operating information to the users of our systems. The revenue generated from these applications of AI consists of a fixed fee related to the design, development, testing and incorporation of new algorithms into the system, which is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon acceptance, as well as an annual application maintenance fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term.

Technical support services are provided on both an as-needed and extended-term basis and may include providing both parts and labor. Maintenance and technical support provided outside of a maintenance contract are on an “as-requested” basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized over time ratably over the term of the contract.

The Company’s consulting services business generates revenues under contracts with customers from three sources: (1) Professional Services (consulting and auditing); (2) Software licensing with optional hardware sales; and (3) Customer service training and (4) Maintenance support.

| (1) | Revenues for professional services, which are of short-term duration, are recognized when services are completed;
| (2) | For all periods reflected in this report, software license sales have been one-time sales of a perpetual license to use our software product and the customer also has the option to purchase third-party manufactured handheld devices from us if they purchase our software license. Accordingly, the revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software and delivery of the hardware, as applicable, to the customer;
| (3) | Training sales are one-time upfront short-term training sessions and are recognized after the service has been performed; and
| (4) | Maintenance/support is an optional product sold to our software license customers under one-year contracts. Accordingly, maintenance payments received upfront are deferred and recognized over the contract term.

Multiple Performance Obligations and Allocation of Transaction Price

Arrangements with customers may involve multiple performance obligations including project revenue and maintenance services in our Intelligent Technology Systems business. Maintenance will occur after the project is completed and may be provided on an extended-term basis or on an as-needed basis. In our consulting services business, multiple performance obligations may include any of the above four sources. Training and maintenance on software products may occur after the software product sale while other services may occur before or after the software product sale and may not relate to the software product. Revenue recognition for a multiple performance obligations arrangement is as follows:

Each performance obligation is accounted for separately when each has value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is Company specific objective evidence of selling price of each deliverable. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative selling prices as determined by the price of the items when sold separately. Once the selling price is allocated, the revenue for each performance obligations is recognized using the applicable criteria under GAAP as discussed above for performance obligations sold in single performance obligation arrangements. A delivered item or items that do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting within the arrangement are combined with the other applicable undelivered items within the arrangement. The allocation of arrangement consideration and the recognition of revenue is then determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The Company sells its various services and software and hardware products at established prices on a standalone basis which provides Company specific objective evidence of selling price for purposes of performance obligations relative selling price allocation. The Company only sells maintenance services or spare parts based on its established rates after it has completed a system integration project for a customer. The customer is not required to purchase maintenance services. All elements in multiple performance obligations arrangements with Company customers qualify as separate units of account for revenue recognition purposes.

Segment Information

The Company operates in one reportable segment.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the grant date measurement and the recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values.

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of highly subjective variables.

The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.

Leases

The Company follows ASC 842 “Leases”. This guidance requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, this guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the revenue guidance in ASC 606.

The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less on the balance sheet and instead recognize the lease payments in expense as incurred. The Company has also elected to account for real estate leases that contain both lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset.

Operating ROU assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The lease term includes all periods covered by renewal and termination options where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options or not to exercise the termination options. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies will issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ASC are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

In August 2020, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2020-06) related to the measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity's own equity. The pronouncement simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity's own equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, and it did not have a material effect on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2021-04) related to modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The pronouncement states that an entity should treat the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument, and the effect of the modification should be calculated as the difference between the fair value of the modified instrument and the fair value of that instrument immediately before modification. An entity should then recognize the effect of the modification on the basis of the substance of the transaction, in the same manner as if cash had been paid as consideration. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. The pronouncement will be applied prospectively to all modifications that occur after the initial date of adoption. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, and it did not have a material effect on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,644,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $827,733. The working capital surplus and accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 were $2,540,856 and $48,141,667, respectively. In one previous financial report during 2021, the Company had raised substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. This was principally due to a lack of working capital prior to an underwritten common stock offering which was completed during the first quarter of 2022 (the “2022 Offering”).

During the previous 15 months, the Company has raised more than $10 million after fees and expenses, both from existing shareholders through the issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and in the first quarter of 2022, a follow-on common stock offering using its previously filed “shelf” registration. Although, further additional investment is not assured, the Company is comfortable that it would be able to raise sufficient capital to support expanded operations based on an anticipated increase in business activity. In the long run, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue executing the plan described above, generate enough revenue, and eventually attain consistently profitable operations. Although the current global pandemic related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected our operations, particularly in supply chain, we now believe that this is expected to be an ongoing issue and our working capital assumptions reflect this new reality. The Company cannot currently quantify the uncertainty related to the pandemic and its effects on our customers in the coming quarters. We have analyzed our cash flow under “stress test” conditions and have determined that we have sufficient liquid assets on hand to maintain operations for at least twelve months from the date of this report. A notable recent success is the “bonding” secured in the amount of approximately $8 million for a major project for which the Company recently received full “notice to proceed”.

The Company was successful in securing a loan of $1,410,270 during the second quarter of 2020 from the Small Business Administration via the PPP/CARES Act program which further bolstered the Company’s cash reserves. This loan was forgiven in the first quarter of 2021 and leaves the Company essentially debt free other than the normal course of business equipment and insurance financing. The Company has also been successful in increasing its working capital surplus after receiving proceeds from the 2021 Offering of $4,500,000 and more recently, in the first quarter of 2022, receiving net proceeds of approximately $5,500,000 from the successful sales of common stock under the Company’s “shelf registration” statement as previously mentioned. This gives us the capital required to fund the fundamental business changes that we are executing including organization, product alignment and market focus and maintenance of our business strategy overall. In addition, management has been taking and continues to take actions including, but not limited to, elimination of certain costs that do not contribute to short term revenue, and re-aligning both management and staffing with a focus on improving certain skill sets necessary to build growth and profitability and focusing product strategy on opportunities that are likely to bear results in the relatively short term. During 2021, management took further significant actions including reorganizing our engineering and technical teams and selectively improving organizational efficiency to effectively grow the business in concert with the influx of business won in late 2021 and early 2022. Upon completion of the 2022 Offering, management has raised sufficient working capital to meet its needs for the next 12-months without the need to raise further capital. The Company had experienced a significant slowdown in closing new projects due to cautious actions by current and potential clients as a result of COVID-19 but this appears to be abating as time passes. We continue to be successful in identifying new business opportunities and are focused on maintaining a backlog of projects.

Management believes that, at this time, the conditions in our market space with ongoing contract delays, the consequent need to procure certain materials in advance of a binding contract and the additional time needed to execute on new contracts previously reported have put a strain on our cash reserves. However, recent events including an approximate $5.5 million injection of funds from a sale of common stock, significant recent orders and the overall stabilization of the business indicate that there is no longer substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance of this report. We will continue executing the plan to grow our business and eventually achieve profitability without the requirement to raise additional capital for existing operations for 2022 although we may do so to fund selective opportunities that may arise. Management has extensively evaluated our requirements for the next 12 months and has determined that the Company currently has sufficient cash to operate for at least that period.

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease Obligations

On July 26, 2021, the Company entered a new operating lease agreement of office and warehouse combination space of 40,000 square feet, with the lease commencing on November 1, 2021 and ending April 30, 2032. This new space will combine the Company’s two separate work locations into one facility, which will allow for greater collaboration and also accommodate a larger anticipated workforce and manufacturing facility. On November 24, 2021, the lease was amended to commence on December 1, 2021 and end on May 31, 2032. The Company recognized a ROU asset and operating lease liability in the amount of $4,980,104 at lease commencement. Rent for the first eleven months of the term will be calculated based on 30,000 rentable square feet. The rent is subject to an annual escalation of 2.5%, beginning November 1, 2023. The Company made a security deposit payment in the amount of $600,000 on July 26, 2021. The right of use asset balance at March 31, 2022, net of amortization, was $4,848,129.

As of March 31, 2022, the office and warehouse lease is the Company’s only lease with a term greater than twelve months. The office and warehouse lease has a remaining term of approximately 10.2 years and includes an option to extend for two renewal terms of five years each. The renewal options are not reasonably certain to be exercised, and therefore, they are not included when determining the lease term used to establish the right-of use asset and lease liability. The Company also has several short-term leases, primarily related to equipment. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less on the balance sheet and instead recognize the lease payments in expense as incurred. The Company has also elected to account for real estate leases that contain both lease and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance) as a single lease component.

The following table shows supplemental information related to leases:

Executive Severance Agreement

On July 10, 2020, the Company announced that Gianni Arcaini would retire from the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board effective as of September 1, 2020 (the “CEO Transition”). In order to facilitate a transition of his duties, the Company and Mr. Arcaini entered into a separation agreement which became effective as of July 10, 2020 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Arcaini’s employment with the Company ended on September 1, 2020 (“Separation Date”) and he will receive separation payments over a 36-month period equal to his base salary plus $75,000 as well as certain limited health and life insurance benefits. The Separation Agreement also contains confidentiality, non-disparagement and non-solicitation covenants and a release of claims by Mr. Arcaini who continued to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee did not submit Mr. Arcaini for re-election as a director and on November 19, 2020 at the Annual Shareholders meeting a new non-Executive Chairman was appointed.

In accordance with the Separation Agreement, the Company will pay to Mr. Arcaini the total sum of $747,788. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the status of Mr. Arcaini as a “Specified Employee” as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 409A has the effect of delaying any payments to Mr. Arcaini under the Separation Agreement for six months after the Separation Date. On March 1, 2021, the Company paid to Mr. Arcaini a lump-sum amount equal to the first six months of payments, or $124,631, owed to Mr. Arcaini and the Company will continue to pay him in semi-monthly installments for 30 months thereafter, as contemplated in Mr. Arcaini’s Separation Agreement. The remaining balance of approximately $416,000 as of March 31, 2022 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company will pay one-half of Mr. Arcaini’s current life insurance premiums for 36 months of approximately $1,200 per month and provide and pay for his health insurance for 36 months following the Separation Date of approximately $450 per month. Unvested options in the amount of 50,358 became exercisable and vested in their entirety on the Separation Date valued at $95,127. The Company made payment of his attorneys’ fees for legal work associated with the negotiation and drafting of the Separation Agreement of approximately $17,000.

NOTE 6 - REVENUE

Revenue Recognition and Contract Accounting

The Company generates revenue from four sources: (1) Technology Systems; (2) AI Technology which is included in the consolidated statements of operations line-item Technology systems; (3) Technical Support; and (4) Consulting Services which is included in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations line-item Services and consulting.

Technology Systems

The Company constructs intelligent technology systems consisting of materials and labor under customer contracts. Revenues and related costs on technology systems revenue are recognized based on ASC 606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service transfers over time if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date including a profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control is deemed to pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are manufactured and revenue is recognized accordingly.

In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred. Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation.

17

DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and other allocable direct costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “contract assets”. Any billings of customers more than recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “contract liabilities”. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined.

A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer.

The Company has contracts in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost estimates are reviewed periodically on a contract-by-contract basis throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to the profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Artificial Intelligence

The Company has revenue from applications that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of predetermined algorithms which provide important operating information to the users of our systems. The revenue generated from these applications of AI consists of a fixed fee related to the design, development, testing and incorporation of new algorithms into the system, which is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon acceptance, as well as an annual application maintenance fee, which revenue is recognized ratably over the contracted maintenance term.

Technical Support

Maintenance and technical support services are provided on both an as-needed and extended-term basis and may include providing both parts and labor. Maintenance and technical support provided outside of a maintenance contract are on an as-requested basis, and revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized over time ratably over the term of the contract.

For sales arrangements that do not involve multiple performance obligations such as professional services, which are of short-term duration, revenues are recognized when services are completed.

Consulting Services

The Company’s consulting services business generates revenues under contracts with customers from three sources: (1) Professional Services (consulting and auditing); (2) Software licensing with optional hardware sales; and (3) Customer Service (training and maintenance support).

| (1) | Revenues for professional services, which are of short-term duration, are recognized when services are completed;
| (2) | For all periods reflected in this report, software license sales have been one-time sales of a perpetual license to use our software product and the customer also has the option to purchase third-party manufactured handheld devices from us if they purchase our software license. Accordingly, the revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the software and delivery of the hardware, as applicable, to the customer;
| (3) | Training sales are one-time upfront short-term training sessions and are recognized at a point in time after the service has been performed; and
| (4) | Maintenance/support is an optional product sold to our software license customers under one-year contracts. Accordingly, maintenance payments received upfront are deferred and recognized over time ratably over the contract term.

Contract Assets

Contract assets on uncompleted contracts represent revenues recognized in excess of billings and/or cash received on uncompleted contracts accounted for under the cost-to-cost input method, which recognizes revenue based on the ratio of cost incurred to total estimated costs.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement. We do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based, except as required by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on May 31, 1994 under the original name of Information Systems Associates, Inc. Initially, our business operations consisted of consulting services for asset management of large corporate data centers and the development and licensing of information technology (“IT”) asset management software. In late 2014, the Company entered negotiations with Duos Technologies, Inc. (“Duos”), for the purposes of executing a reverse triangular merger. This transaction was completed on April 1, 2015, whereby Duos became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Duos was incorporated under the laws of Florida on November 30, 1990 for design, development and deployment of proprietary technology applications and turn-key engineered systems. The Company, based in Jacksonville, Florida, has a current staff of 66 people of which 58 are full time and is a technology and software applications company with a strong portfolio of intellectual property. The Company’s core competencies, including advanced intelligent technologies, are delivered through its proprietary integrated enterprise command and control platform, Centraco®.

The Company has developed the Railcar Inspection Portal (“RIP”) which provides both freight and transit railroad customers and select government agencies the ability to conduct fully remote railcar inspections of trains while they are in transit. The system, which incorporates a variety of sophisticated optical technologies, illumination and other sensors, scans each passing railcar to create an extremely high-resolution image set from a variety of angles including the undercarriage. These images are then processed through various methods of artificial intelligence algorithms to identify specific defects and/or areas of interest on each railcar. This is all accomplished within seconds of a railcar passing through our portal. We believe this solution has the potential to transform the railroad industry immediately increasing safety, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The Company has successfully deployed this system with several Class 1 railroad customers and anticipates an increased demand from transit and other railroad customers along with selected government agencies that operate and/or manage rail traffic in the future. Government agencies can conduct digital inspections combined with the incorporated artificial intelligence (“AI”) to improve rail traffic flow across borders which also directly benefits the Class 1 railroads through increasing their velocity.

The Company has also developed the Automated Logistics Information System (“ALIS”) which automates gatehouse operations where transport trucks enter and exit large logistics and intermodal facilities. This solution also incorporates sensors and data points as necessary for each operation and directly interconnects with backend logistics databases and processes to streamline operations, and significantly improve operations and security and importantly dramatically improves the vehicle throughput on each lane on which the technology is deployed.

The Company has built a portfolio of IP and patented solutions that creates “actionable intelligence” using two core native platforms called Centraco® and Praesidium™. All solutions provided include a variant of both applications. Centraco is designed primarily as the user interface to all our systems as well as the backend connection to third-party applications and databases through both Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs). This interface is browser based and hosted within each one of our systems and solutions. It is typically also customized for each unique customer and application. Praesidium typically resides as middleware in our systems and manages the various image capture devices and some sensors for input into the Centraco software.

The Company also developed a proprietary Artificial Intelligence software platform, Truevue360™ with the objective of focusing the Company’s advanced intelligent technologies in the areas of AI, deep machine learning and advanced multi-layered algorithms to further support our solutions.

The Company also provided professional and consulting services for large data centers and had developed a system for the automation of asset information marketed as DcVue™. The Company had deployed its DcVue software at one beta site. This software was used by Duos’ consulting auditing teams. DcVue was based upon the Company’s OSPI patent which was awarded in 2010. The Company offered DcVue available for license to our customers as a licensed software product. The Company ceased offering this product in 2021.

The Company’s strategy is to deliver operational and technical excellence to our customers; expand our RIP and ALIS solutions into current and new customers focused in the Rail, Logistics and U.S. Government Sectors; offer both CAPEX and OPEX pricing models to customers that increases recurring revenue, grows backlog and improves profitability; responsibly grow the business both organically and through selective acquisitions; and promote a performance-based work force where employees enjoy their work and are incentivized to excel and remain with the Company.

24

Prospects and Outlook

The Company’s focus is to improve operational and technical execution which, we believe, will in turn enable the commercial side of the business to expand RIP and ALIS delivery into existing customers and to expand and diversify our current customer base. Even though COVID-19 is expected to still be an issue during 2022, the Company’s primary customers have indicated readiness to order more equipment and services should the Company execute as expected on key deliverables.

Additionally, the Company is making engineering and software upgrades to the RIP to meet anticipated Federal Railroad Association (FRA) and Association of American Railroad (AAR) standards. Similar upgrades are also being developed to improve the ALIS system. These upgrades will continue to be released throughout 2022 and are expected to drive revenue growth this year and beyond.

The Company is expanding its focus in the rail industry to encompass passenger transportation and was awarded a large, multi-year contract with a national rail carrier. The Company anticipates that it will deliver at least two RIP solutions along with a long-term services agreement in 2022 and completing delivery during the first quarter of 2023.

Although the Company’s prospects and outlook are anticipated to be favorable for 2022, investing in our securities involves risk and careful consideration should be made before deciding to purchase our securities. There are many risks that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control and unexpected macro events can have a severe impact on the business. Please see the risk factors identified in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

25

The decrease in overall revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is primarily related to the timing of new installations in the technology systems portion of our business, which was driven by delays in receiving anticipated “notices to proceed” for new contracts expected earlier in the year, and supply chain issues which are extending deadlines for shipment of key components used in our technology systems. While certain orders were delayed from 2021 into 2022, we remain encouraged by the breadth and scope of recent bids in which we have participated. Management cautions that because of the delays in anticipated start dates, certain installations may produce revenues towards the end of 2022, some of which may ultimately be recorded in 2023. Additionally, although the industries in which we operate are showing early signs of recovery from the delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, other macro-economic effects are anticipated to impact us, including inflation and the current supply chain issues. The effect of this will be to push some revenue recognition later in the year or into 2023. The effects of inflation are not quantifiable at the current time but are beginning to be evident in increased costs for materials and labor. These effects may result in higher costs for project implementation that cannot be wholly or even partially passed on to our customers and thus resulting in delaying our progress towards profitability.

We believe the Company’s capital structure allows us to weather the unexpected delays without significant operational impact and enables us to pursue large projects requiring the ability to deploy major resources. It should be noted that the Company increased its working capital in late 2021 to account for an increase in pre-contract procurement activities to avoid a slowdown in revenues caused by delays in receiving certain components. The Company undertook a major review of operations during 2021 and made significant changes in staffing, including hiring additional engineering staff and revamping its software development and Artificial Intelligence staffing. Although the Company implemented a “rapid development” initiative in early 2021, which was intended to enable the Company to respond to market driven demand more quickly, this effort has been somewhat negated by ongoing supply chain issues. This effort was expected to shorten delivery times on major projects and result in significant revenue growth in the last six months of 2021 and beyond, the previously discussed supply chain issues have not allowed the anticipated benefits to be realized at this time. The Company is monitoring the situation and had continued to procure materials ahead of formal contract award late in the first quarter of 2022.

The services portion of revenues are driven by the successful completion of projects and represent services and support for those installations. The Company expects growth with new revenue from existing customers, including services revenue as the result of new maintenance contracts being established on installations coming on-line during 2022. The Company also anticipates renewals of existing contracts and a shift to the next generation of technology systems which are currently being installed.

Cost of Revenues

|  |  | For the Three Months Ended |
|  |  | March 31, |
|  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | % Change |
Cost of revenues: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Technology systems |  |  | $ | 865,488 |  |  | $ | 1,293,608 |  |  |  | -33% |
Services and consulting |  |  |  | 351,762 |  |  |  | 358,172 |  |  |  | -2% |
Total cost of revenues |  |  | $ | 1,217,250 |  |  | $ | 1,651,780 |  |  |  | -26% |

Cost of revenues largely comprises equipment, labor and overhead necessary to support the implementation of new systems and support and maintenance of existing systems.

Cost of revenues on technology systems decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the equivalent period in 2021, which is consistent with the decrease in revenues. However, the percentage decrease in cost of revenues for technology systems for the current year period compared to the prior year period was lower than the percentage decrease in revenues from technology systems for the current year period compared to the prior year period. The higher level of cost compared to revenues was mainly due to higher costs of materials due to supply chain disruptions and inflation, as well as additional work being necessary on certain of the Company’s installations to resolve newly identified quality issues. While we expect that macro-economic factors will continue to drive prices, the Company expects its structural realignment to aid in lowering costs as a percentage of the overall system price going forward. As previously noted, the Company’s organization and related cost structure was realigned to provide the capability to manufacture, install and support multiple production systems simultaneously. In accordance with this shift in structure, certain staff were re-assigned or replaced, and new staff added in key areas, particularly software engineering, IT and AI.

26

In conjunction with these organizational changes, increased costs are now being recognized against project and support revenues. While there is a continued focus on construction costs and savings through efficiency, the Company has elected to expand its key employees in 2021 and early 2022 in anticipation of expected sales growth in technology systems and services. These changes had a negative impact on the gross margin (see below) during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, but this is expected to be a short-term impact, which we believe will be offset by anticipated increases in revenue later in 2022. We also expect these changes to have a positive long-term impact as we believe they will enable the Company to deliver a higher number of systems in a given period, with a shorter period of implementation and with better quality and reliability, as operations become standardized in anticipation of expected higher demand for systems, particularly in the rail industry.

Cost of revenues on services and consulting decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period in line with the decrease in revenues from services and consulting for the current year period as compared to the prior year period. While relatively flat when comparing the first quarter of 2022 and the equivalent period in 2021, an overall positive trend on service and consulting revenue is expected to continue as the Company expects that as more of the revenue will be derived from recurring revenue. Costs of revenues on services and consulting are expected to increase in future years but at a slower rate than revenue growth. The Company focused on streamlining support operations in 2021, and despite the additional resources allocated to these activities in anticipation of higher recurring revenue in 2022 and beyond, we expect higher gross margins as the Company grows.

As discussed previously, the impact of inflation may negatively affect the costs of revenues such that we may experience higher costs for materials and labor, including higher employee and sub-contractor costs that cannot be passed along in all cases. Management is continuing to monitor this situation and expects to take actions as the full impact of these cost increases is understood. This may take the form of higher prices and continued evaluation of costs to attempt to reduce the overall costs to offset the additional expenses, although this is not assured.

Gross Margin

|  | For the Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | % Change |
Revenues |  | $ | 1,439,316 |  |  | $ | 2,154,754 |  |  |  | -33 | %
Cost of revenues |  |  | 1,217,250 |  |  |  | 1,651,780 |  |  |  | -26 | %
Gross margin |  | $ | 222,066 |  |  | $ | 502,974 |  |  |  | -56 | %

As previously discussed, the Company has revamped its operations to support an anticipated increase in the number of new systems going forward. The resultant additional cost of revenues was not covered by a comparable increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2022. The main reason for the continuing high level of cost is higher costs of materials due to supply chain disruptions and inflation. However, we anticipate an improvement in the overall gross margin for the full year of 2022, with much of the improvement expected to occur in the second half of the year. Certain macro-economic factors, which are driving increased costs for materials and labor, may result in higher costs for project implementation that cannot be wholly or even partially passed on to our customers, which may result in delaying our progress towards profitability into 2023.

Operating Expenses

|  | For the Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | % Change |
Operating expenses: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Sales and marketing |  | $ | 283,894 |  |  | $ | 311,801 |  |  |  | -9 | %
Research and development |  |  | 436,717 |  |  |  | 359,127 |  |  |  | 22 | %
General and administration |  |  | 2,143,073 |  |  |  | 1,654,346 |  |  |  | 30 | %
Total operating expenses |  | $ | 2,863,684 |  |  | $ | 2,325,274 |  |  |  | 23 | %

27

Overall operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 23% compared to the equivalent period in 2021. Increases in research and development costs and general and administration costs during the current year period were offset by a decrease in sales and marketing costs during the period. The overall increase is primarily related to the Company’s efforts to revamp its operations to support an anticipated increase in the number of new systems going forward. The increase is also related to higher rent, as during the fourth quarter of 2021, a new operating lease agreement of office and warehouse combination space commenced. This new space will combine the Company’s two separate work locations into one facility, which will allow for greater collaboration and also accommodate a larger anticipated workforce and manufacturing facility. The increase in research and development costs was also driven by customer demand for the development of new components related to our technology systems.

Loss from Operations

The loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $2,641,618 and $1,822,300, respectively. The increase in losses from operations was primarily the result of lower revenues recorded in the quarter as a consequence of delays in the start of new projects and delays in the receipt of materials for production. There was also higher relative cost of sales related to higher costs of materials resulting from supply chain disruptions and inflation.

Other Income/Expense

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2,998 compared to other income of $1,416,277 in the comparative period of 2021. The change is primarily due to PPP loan forgiveness recorded in the first quarter of 2021.

Net Loss

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2,644,616 and $406,023, respectively. The increase in net loss was mostly attributed to lower revenue in the current quarter and the PPP loan forgiveness recorded in the first quarter of 2021. Net loss per common share was $0.49 and $0.11 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital surplus of $2,540,856 and a net loss of $2,644,616.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the major components of our statements of cash flows data for the periods presented:

|  | March 31, 2022 |  |  | March 31, 2021 |
Net cash used in operating activities |  | $ | (827,733 | ) |  | $ | (1,296,424 | )
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (102,078 | ) |  |  | (58,105 | )
Net cash provided by financing activities |  |  | 5,365,954 |  |  |  | 4,457,342 |
Net increase in cash |  | $ | 4,436,143 |  |  | $ | 3,102,813 |

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $827,733 and $1,296,424, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was the result of lower expenditures related to current technology systems projects due to the timing of project award and delays in the receipt of materials. In addition, there are several changes in assets and liabilities compared to the previous period that decreased the use of cash in operations, notably the change in accounts receivable due to the timing of project invoicing milestones and cash receipts.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $102,078 and $58,105, respectively, representing an increase in the purchase of various fixed assets for computer equipment and product development.

28

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $5,365,954 and $4,457,342, respectively. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the three-month period in 2022 were primarily attributable to net proceeds of approximately $5,500,000 from the successful sale of common stock under the the Company’s “shelf registration” statement. Cash flows from financing activities during the three-month period in 2021 were primarily attributable to the issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for $4,500,000.

During 2022, we funded our operations through the sale of our equity (or equity linked) securities, and through revenues generated and cash received from ongoing project execution, services and associated maintenance revenues. As of May 10, 2022, we have cash on hand of approximately $4,030,000. We have approximately $165,500 in monthly lease and other mandatory payments, not including payroll and ordinary expenses which are due monthly.

On a long-term basis, our liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations and receipt of revenues. We believe our current capital and revenues are sufficient to fund such expansion and our operations over the next twelve months, although we are now less dependent on timely payments by our customers for projects and work in process. However, we expect such timely payments to continue. Material cash requirements will be satisfied within the normal course of business including substantial upfront payments from our customers prior to starting projects. In some limited cases, the Company may elect to purchase materials and supplies in advance of contract award but where there is a high probability of that award.

Demand for our products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our products and services, the technology market in general, and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. Because a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of our products and services, our business operations may continue to be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recession periods, although these are not considered to be a factor at present.

Liquidity

Under Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40.

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,644,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the same period, net cash used in operating activities was $827,733. The working capital surplus and accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 were $2,540,856 and $48,141,667 respectively. In previous financial reports, the Company had raised substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. This was principally due to a lack of working capital prior to an underwritten offering receiving net proceeds of approximately $5,500,000 from the successful sales of common stock which was completed during the first quarter of 2022 (the “2022 Offering”).

As previously noted, in 2021, the Company raised $4,500,000 from existing shareholders through the issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

Although additional investment is not assured, the Company is comfortable that it would be able to raise sufficient capital to support expanded operations based on an anticipated increase in business activity. In the long run, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue executing the plan described above, generate enough revenue, and attain consistently profitable operations. Although the current global pandemic related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected our operations, particularly in supply chain, we now believe that this is expected to be an ongoing issue and our working capital assumptions reflect this new reality. The Company cannot currently quantify the uncertainty related to the pandemic and its effects on our customers in the coming quarters. We have analyzed our cash flow under “stress test” conditions and have determined that we have sufficient liquid assets on hand to maintain operations for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

29

Management believes that, at this time, the conditions in our market space with ongoing contract delays, the consequent need to procure certain materials in advance of a binding contract and the additional time needed to execute on new contracts previously reported have put a strain on our cash reserves. However, recent events, including a $5,500,000 injection of funds from a sale of securities, significant recent orders and the overall stabilization of the business, indicate that there is not a substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance of this report. We continue executing the plan to grow our business and achieve profitability without the requirement to raise additional capital for existing operations for 2022, although we may do so to fund selective opportunities that may arise. Management has extensively evaluated our requirements for the next twelve months and has determined that the Company currently has sufficient cash to operate for at least that period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining the collections on the account, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. The Company reviews its accounts to estimate losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values.

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly subjective variables.

The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock price of the Company and estimates the expected term for stock options using the simplified method for employees and directors and the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury securities with similar maturities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing of when certain types of revenues will be recognized. The basic principles in ASC 606 include the following: a contract with a customer creates distinct contract assets and performance obligations, satisfaction of a performance obligation creates revenue, and a performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of control to a good or service to a customer.

Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:

| 1. | Identify the contract with the customer;
| 2. | Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
| 3. | Determine the transaction price;
| 4. | Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and
| 5. | Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

30

For revenues related to technology systems, the Company recognizes revenue over time using a cost-based input methodology in which significant judgment is required to estimate costs to complete projects. These estimated costs are then used to determine the progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

Accordingly, the Company now bases its revenue recognition on ASC 606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service transfers over time if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date including a profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control is deemed to pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are manufactured and revenue is recognized accordingly.

In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred. Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation. To accurately reflect revenue recognition based on the input method, the Company has adopted the implementation guidance as set out in ASC-606-10-55-187 through 192.

Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and other allocable indirect costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “contract assets”. Any billings of customers more than recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “contract liabilities”. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of intangible and other long-lived assets, estimates of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to determine progress towards contract completion, estimates of the valuation of right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, valuation of warrants issued with debt, and valuation of stock-based awards. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the 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 these estimates.
