NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business: Digital Ally, Inc. was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 as Vegas Petra, Inc. and had no operations until 2004. On November 30, 2004, Vegas Petra, Inc. entered into a Plan of Merger with Digital Ally, Inc., at which time the merged entity was renamed Digital Ally, Inc. (such merged entity, the “Predecessor Registrant”). On August 23, 2022 (the “Effective Time”), the Predecessor Registrant merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, DGLY Subsidiary Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of August 23, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), between the Predecessor Registrant and the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving corporation in the merger (such transaction, the “Merger”). At the Effective Time, Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Registrant was renamed “Digital Ally, Inc.” and, by operation of law, succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the Predecessor Registrant immediately prior to the Merger. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, shareholder approval was not required in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) each outstanding share of Predecessor Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Predecessor Common Stock”) automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Registrant (“Registrant Common Stock”), (ii) each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of Predecessor Common Stock converted into an option, right or warrant, as applicable, to acquire an equal number of shares of Registrant Common Stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants, and (iii) the directors and executive officers of the Predecessor Registrant were appointed as directors and executive officers, as applicable, of the Registrant, each to serve in the same capacity and for the same term as such person served with the Predecessor Registrant immediately before the Merger. The business of the Registrant, Digital Ally, Inc. (with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC (“Digital Ally Healthcare”), TicketSmarter, Inc. (“TicketSmarter”), Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., Digital Connect, Inc., BirdVu Jets, Inc., Kustom 440, Inc. (“Kustom 440”), Kustom Entertainment, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC, collectively, “Digital Ally,” “Digital,” and the “Company”), is divided into three reportable operating segments: 1) the Video Solutions Segment, 2) the Revenue Cycle Management Segment and 3) the Ticketing Segment. The Video Solutions Segment is our legacy business that produces digital video imaging, storage products, disinfectant and related safety products for use in law enforcement, security and commercial applications. This segment includes both service and product revenues through our subscription models offering cloud and warranty solutions, and hardware sales for video and health safety solutions. The Revenue Cycle Management Segment provides working capital and back-office services to a variety of healthcare organizations throughout the country, as a monthly service fee. The Ticketing Segment acts as an intermediary between ticket buyers and sellers within our secondary ticketing platform, ticketsmarter.com, and we also acquire tickets from primary sellers to then sell through various platforms. The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in financial statements. Such required segment information is included in Note 17. Reverse Stock Split On May 6, 2025, the Company, acting pursuant to authority received at an annual meeting of its stockholders on December 17, 2024, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a certificate of amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to its articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), which effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on May 6, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of Common Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Common Stock. The Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on May 7, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock, that the Company is authorized to issue, which remain as set forth pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock were automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share, at a participant level. The Reverse Stock Split also had a proportionate effect on all other options and warrants of the Company outstanding as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of the time of this filing. All historical share and per-share amounts reflected throughout the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split as if the split occurred as of the earliest period presented. The par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The following is a summary of the Company’s Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Digital Ally, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Digital Ally International, Inc., Shield Products, LLC, Digital Ally Healthcare, LLC, TicketSmarter, Inc., Worldwide Reinsurance, Ltd., Digital Connect, Inc., BirdVu Jets, Inc., Kustom 440, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. The Company formed Digital Ally International, Inc. during August 2009 to facilitate the export sales of its products. The Company formed Shield Products, LLC in May 2020 to facilitate the sales of its Shield™ line of disinfectant/cleanser products and ThermoVu™ line of temperature monitoring equipment. The Company formed Nobility Healthcare, LLC (“Nobility Healthcare”) in June 2021 to facilitate the operations of its revenue cycle management solutions and back-office services for healthcare organizations. The Company formed TicketSmarter, Inc. upon its acquisition of Goody Tickets, LLC and TicketSmarter, LLC, to facilitate its global ticketing operations. The Company formed Worldwide Reinsurance Ltd., which is a captive insurance company domiciled in Bermuda. It will provide primarily liability insurance coverage to the Company for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace. The Company formed Kustom 440, Inc. in 2022 to create unique entertainment experiences directly for consumers. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and subordinated notes payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. Revenue Recognition: The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related appropriate guidance. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has two different revenue streams, product and service, represented through its three segments. The Company reports all revenues on a gross basis, other than service revenues from the Company’s entertainment and revenue cycle management segments, Revenues generated by all segments are reported net of sales taxes. Video Solutions The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company has concluded its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration for the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customers’ ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refunds or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are generally less than one year for product sales (although some subscriptions for services may reach out 3-5 years), it has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price, as specified on the purchase order, is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e. when the Company’s performance obligations is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further in determining whether control has been transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. Customers do not have a right to return the product other than for warranty reasons for which they would only receive repair services or replacement products. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions for product sales when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year. Service and other revenue is comprised of revenues from extended warranties, repair services, cloud revenue and software revenue. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product and acceptance of the service or materials by the end customer for repair services. Revenue for extended warranty, cloud service or other software-based products is over the term of the contract warranty or service period. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to these revenues is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, as long as the other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company’s multiple performance obligations may include future in-car or body-worn camera devices to be delivered at defined points within a multi-year contract, and in those arrangements, the Company allocates total arrangement consideration over the life of the multi-year contract to future deliverables using management’s best estimate of selling price. Revenue Cycle Management The Company reports revenue cycle management revenues on a net basis, as its primary source of revenue is its end-to-end service fees which is generally determined as a percentage of the invoice amounts collected. These service fees are reported as monthly revenue upon completion of the Company’s performance obligation to provide the agreed upon service. Entertainment The Company reports ticketing revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company is acting as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination is based upon the evaluation of control over the event ticket, including the right to sell the ticket, prior to its transfer to the ticket buyer. The Company sells tickets held in inventory, which consists of one performance obligation, being to transfer control of an event ticket to the buyer upon confirmation of the order. The Company acts as the principal in these transactions as the ticket is owned by the Company at the time of the sale, therefore controlling the ticket prior to transferring to the customer. In these transactions, revenue is recorded on a gross basis based on the value of the ticket and is recognized when an order is confirmed. Payment is typically due upon delivery of the ticket. The Company also acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers through online secondary marketplace. Revenues derived from this marketplace primarily consist of service fees from ticketing operations, and consists of one primary performance obligation, which is facilitating the transaction between the buyer and seller, being satisfied at the time the order has been confirmed. As the Company does not control the ticket prior to the transfer, the Company acts as an agent in these transactions. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, net of the amount due to the seller when an order is confirmed, the seller is then obligated to deliver the tickets to the buyer per the seller’s listing. Payment is due at the time of sale. Other Deferred revenue include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are reported separately as current liabilities and non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such amounts consist of extended warranty contracts, prepaid cloud services and prepaid installation services and are generally recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $1,196,046 related to its deferred revenue Total deferred revenue consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED REVENUES

Sales returns and allowances aggregated $71,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Obligations for estimated sales returns and allowances are recognized at the time of sales on an accrual basis. The accrual is determined based upon historical return rates adjusted for known changes in key variables affecting these return rates. Use of Estimates: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to, determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of warrants, options, the recognition of revenue, inventory valuation reserve, allowances for doubtful accounts and other receivables, incremental borrowing rate on leases, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include funds on hand, in bank and short-term investments with original maturities of ninety (90) days or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the uninsured balance amounted to $3,009,668 and $-0-, respectively. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash of $-0- and $97,600 was included in other assets as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Restricted cash consists of bank deposits that collateralize a debt obligation. Such debt obligation was paid off as of December 31, 2024. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows: SCHEDULE OF RECONCILIATION OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
|  | March 31, 2025 |  |  | March 31, 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 3,762,608 |  |  | $ | 927,861 |
Long-term restricted cash included in other assets |  |  | — |  |  |  | 97,600 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statements of cash flows |  | $ | 3,762,608 |  |  | $ | 1,025,461 |
Goodwill and Other Intangibles: Goodwill - In connection with acquisitions, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31st, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill. Traditionally, goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step one involves comparing the fair value of the reporting units to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-04 which simplifies subsequent goodwill measurement by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach applies a fair value methodology to each reporting unit based on discounted cash flows. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internally-developed forecasts of revenue and profitability, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on multiples of comparable public companies and precedent transactions. Significant estimates in the income and market approach include: future levels of revenue growth, gross profit margin, EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, cash-free debt-free net working capital as a percentage of revenue, capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue, discount rate, selection of guideline public companies and revenue market multiples. Long-lived and Other Intangible Assets - The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the operating segment level. Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows, if fair value is not available. The Company assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of an interim date of September 30, 2024 and concluded that there was an impairment which was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024. Subsequent to completing our 2023 annual impairment test, no events or changes in circumstances were noted that required an interim goodwill impairment test until the fiscal third quarter of 2024, when events occurred that we considered triggering events. During the third fiscal quarter of 2024, management determined that triggering events had occurred resulting from the additional decline in demand for our services, prolonged economic uncertainty, the split-off transaction did not occur when and as expected and a further decrease in our stock price. Therefore, we performed an interim impairment test as of September 30, 2024. Refer to Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional details on the interim impairment test, valuation methodologies, and inputs used in the fair value measurements. The Company also assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2024 and concluded that there was no additional impairment as compared to its September 30, 2024 interim assessment. Subsequent to completing our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2024, no events or changes in circumstances were noted that triggered the requirement for an interim goodwill impairment test for the fiscal first quarter of 2025. Intangible assets include deferred patent costs, license agreements, trademarks and trade names. Legal expenses incurred in preparation of patent application have been deferred and will be amortized over the useful life of granted patents. Costs incurred in preparation of applications that are not granted will be charged to expense at that time. The Company has entered into several sublicense agreements under which it has been assigned the exclusive rights to certain licensed materials used in its products. These sublicense agreements generally require upfront payments to obtain exclusive rights to such material. The Company capitalizes the upfront payments as intangible assets and amortizes such costs over their estimated useful life on a straight-line method. Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations: The Company allocates the amount it pays for each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets which arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. The Company bases the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management to valuation specialists, which consider management’s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. The Company allocates any excess purchase price that exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired to goodwill. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated growth rates, cash flows, discount rates and estimated useful lives could result in different purchase price allocations and amortization expense in current and future periods. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions are expensed as incurred through selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In those circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments expected to be made as of the acquisition date. The Company re-measures this liability each reporting period and records changes in the fair value through operating income within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Warrant Derivative Liabilities: In accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in an Entities Own Equity, entities must consider whether to classify contracts that may be settled in its own stock, such as warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability. If an event that is not within the entity’s control could require net cash settlement, then the contract should be classified as an asset or a liability rather than as equity. We have determined that because the terms of the various warrants issued and remain outstanding, include a provision that entitles all the warrant holders to receive cash for their warrants in the event of a qualifying cash tender offer, while only certain of the holders of the underlying shares of Common Stock would be entitled to cash, our warrants should be classified as liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. Volatility in the price of our Common Stock may result in significant changes in the value of the derivatives and resulting gains and losses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Segment Reporting The accounting guidance on Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information of those segments to be presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or “CODM”) in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s three operating segments are Video Solutions, Revenue Cycle Management, and Entertainment, each of which has specific personnel responsible for that business and reports to the CODM. Corporate expenses capture the Company’s corporate administrative activities, is also to be reported in the segment information. Therefore, its operations are eliminated in consolidation and is not considered a separate business segment for financial reporting purposes. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in 2024 and applied the amendment retrospectively to all periods presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 17, Operating Segments, for more information. Non-Controlling Interests Non-controlling interests in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the interest in subsidiaries held by venture partners. The venture partners hold noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Nobility Healthcare, LLC. Since the Company consolidates the financial statements of all wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries, the noncontrolling owners’ share of each subsidiary’s results of operations are deducted and reported as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates. - ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires companies to disclose significant segment expenses provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and a description of other segment items. Additionally, all existing annual disclosures must be provided on an interim basis. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in 2024 and applied the amendment retrospectively to all periods presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 17, Operating Segments, for more information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. - ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, requires improved disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU requires companies to reconcile the income tax expense attributable to continuing operations to the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate applied to pre-tax income from continuing operations. Additionally, this ASU requires companies to disclose the total amount of income taxes paid during the period. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requires disaggregated disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the Consolidated Statement of Income. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2024-04, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, clarifies the requirement for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions or extinguishments. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted and can be applied either on a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however the Company does not anticipate this guidance having a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Going Concern Matters and Management’s Plans The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred substantial operating losses in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily due to reduced gross margins caused by a combination of competitors’ introduction of newer products with more advanced features together with significant price cutting of their products and the recent acquisitions with much smaller margins than the video solutions segment, historically. The Company incurred operating losses of approximately $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $974,680 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and it had an accumulated deficit of $133.2 million as of March 31, 2025. These matters raise substantial doubt about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In recent years the Company has accessed the public and private capital markets to raise funding through the issuance of debt and equity. In that regard, the Company raised approximately $14.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $4.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 through a private placement transaction and two underwritten public offerings. During February 2025, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $14.3 million through an underwritten public offering which has provided adequate levels of liquidity for the Company to execute its business plans. These equity raises were utilized to fund the repayment of debt obligations, payment of accounts payable and its operations. Management expects this pattern to continue until it achieves positive cash flow from operations on a consistent basis, although it can offer no assurance in this regard. The Company will have to restore positive operating cash flows and profitability over the next year and/or raise additional capital to fund its operational plans, meet its customary payment obligations and otherwise execute its business plan. There can be no assurance that it will be successful in restoring positive cash flows and profitability, or that it can raise additional financing when needed, and obtain it on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company completed a program to reduce costs and expenditures and raised its short and long-term liquidity position through the completion of the February 2025 public equity offering. In that regard, the Company has significantly cut costs in its entertainment segment through the removal of several large partnerships and sponsorships. These partnerships and sponsorships did not yield the results management expected; thus, it is not expected that these costs will significantly hinder total revenues in 2025 and beyond. In addition, the Company has significantly cut costs in its video segment through the reduction in headcount and relocating to smaller and less costly facilities after completing the sale of its warehouse/office building. The Company has increased its deferred revenue to nearly $9.9 million as of March 31, 2025, which results in recurring revenue during the period of 2025 to 2027. The Company believes that its quality control and cost-cutting initiatives, expansion to non-law enforcement sales channels and new product introduction will eventually restore positive operating cash flows and profitability, although it can offer no assurances in this regard. As a result of the Company’s implementation of cost cutting measures and liquidity generated by the recent public equity offerings, the Company has significantly improved its financial position. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated $$4,267,082 of net income, improved its working capital position to a positive balance of $3,385,051 and improved its stockholders equity to a positive balance of $11,569,375. These represent improvements from the negative working capital position of $19,377,507 and stockholders’ deficit balance of $9,013,430 reported at December 31, 2024. Based on the uncertainties described above and the corrective actions implemented by management, the Company believes its business plan including the implementation of corrective actions mitigates the existence of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
