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

Nature of Operations

Duos Technologies Group, Inc., through its primary operating subsidiary “DuosTech, Inc. (“duostech” or the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the design and deployment of state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence driven intelligent technologies systems, with a focus on homeland security applications. duostech converges traditional security measures with information technologies to create “actionable intelligence.” duostech’s IP is built upon two of its core technology platforms ( praesidium® and centraco™ ), both distributed as licensed software suites, and natively embedded within engineered turnkey systems (see detailed description of the Company’s products at its website www.duostech.com). praesidum® is a modular suite of analytics applications which process and simultaneously analyze data streams from a virtually unlimited number of conventional sensors and/or data points. Native algorithms compare analyzed data against user-defined criteria and rules in real time and automatically report any exceptions, deviations and/or anomalies. This application suite also includes a broad range of conventional operational system components and sub-systems, including an embedded feature-rich video management engine and a proprietary Alarm Management Service (“AMS”). This unique service provides continuous monitoring of all connected devices, processes, equipment and sub-systems, and automatically communicates to the front end-user interface, if and when an issue, event or performance anomalies are detected. centraco™ is a comprehensive user interface that includes the functionalities of a Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) system as well as those of an Enterprise Information System (EIS) . This multi-layered interface can be securely installed as a stand-alone application suite inside a local area network or pushed outside a wide area network using the same browser-based interface. It leverages industry standards for data security, access, and encryption as appropriate. The platform also operates as a cloud-hosted solution.

 

The Company’s strategy includes continues expanding its technology base through organic development efforts and strategic partnerships. duostech’s primary clients are railroad owner/operators, petro-chemical plants, utilities and hospitals that are vulnerable to attack, and in the case of the railroads, illegal ridership and border security issues.

 

ISA’s original business for IT Asset Management (ITAM) within large data centers continues its sales efforts through large strategic partners. The Company developed a methodology for the efficient data collection of assets contained within large data centers and was awarded a patent in 2010 for specific methods to collect and audit data. The Company’s original mission was to develop, market and implement software and professional services to the world’s largest data centers in the area of ITAM and it has ongoing relationships with strategic partners to supply professional services and implement software to support those efforts.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the unaudited notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of Duos Technologies, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 17, 2015 (our “8-K/A”).

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc., and TrueVue 360, Inc. All significant 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Most significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimates of percentage completion on projects and related revenues, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of warrants issued with debt, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of stock-based awards and valuation of loss contingencies. 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

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through June 30, 2015. There were no amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits at June 30, 2015.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and has not experienced significant write-downs in its accounts receivable balances through June 30, 2015. A significant portion of revenues is derived from certain customer relationships. The following is a summary of customers that each represents greater than 10% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and total accounts receivable at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

2015   2014
Revenue     Accounts Receivable   Revenue     Accounts Receivable
Customer A 42 %   Customer A   43%   Customer A 62%   Customer A   52%
Customer B 20 %   Customer B   28%   Customer B 19%   Customer B   18%
Customer C 19 %                 Customer C   12%

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for notes payable, net of discount, and loans payable also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.

We follow accounting guidance for financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).

The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The cost basis of notes and convertible debentures approximates fair value due to the market interest rates carried for these instruments.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss 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 of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2015, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 105,069 shares of common stock and 1,132,903 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards (continued) 

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40)”, which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material effect on its disclosures.

On May 8, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) Pushdown Accounting” which conforms the FASB’s guidance on pushdown accounting with the SEC’s guidance. ASU 2015-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under this guidance such costs would be presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its Consolidated Balance Sheet, but expects that as of June 30, 2015 this guidance would not have a material effect on the consolidated balances current presentation.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,804,746 including an impairment loss of $1,578,816 and other non-cash charges to earnings related to the merger with Information Systems Associates for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the same period, cash used in operations was $535,444. The working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2015 was $5,547,389, $5,451,302 and $21,429,972, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise capital. Our management embarked on a business growth strategy in 2014 to engage with private companies in or related to our market space with the intention of a merger or acquisition. In April 2015, the Company completed a previously announced reverse triangular merger whereby duostech became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The two companies are now integrated and continue to operate in their respective markets. In addition, a complete and detailed plan of operations has been developed which contemplates seeking to raise capital, acquiring additional businesses and focusing on growing revenue and profits from existing operations. On June 30, 2015, the Company retained a broker dealer to assist it in its capital raising efforts on a “best efforts basis”. At the present time, there are no commitments for any amounts. The Company has also shed expenses from existing operations as a result of the merger.

Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company not only to continue as a going concern but also grow substantially and thus achieve profitability in the future. Ultimately however, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to execute the plan described above, generate sufficient revenue and to attain profitable operations. These unaudited, consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Pursuant to a financing agreement with one investor group (the “holder”), dated September 23, 2013, duostech issued a $10,000 debenture in 2015 and there were $1,398,370 of unsecured convertible debentures outstanding at December 31, 2014. The debentures bear interest at 6% annually and each debenture principal is due in three years from the debenture issuance date. The interest is due monthly in arrears. The principal balance at March 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1,408,370 and $1,398,370, respectively. The Company has been making its monthly interest payments and accordingly, accrued interest was $0 and $7,126 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. There is no default provision for the non-payment of interest when due. The maturity dates range from October 27, 2016 through November 30, 2017. The financing agreement states that these debentures will take highest priority over all other existing debt of the Company in the case of bankruptcy or other liquidation event. If any debenture is outstanding as of the maturity date then the Company shall pay a 3% premium on the principal in addition to repayment of the principal and any accrued interest. This 3% premium is being accrued as additional interest expense over the debentures terms. If the Company merges with a public entity then the holder has the right to (i) convert the remaining principal of one or more debentures into the combined Company’s stock at a 20% discount to the negotiated value of such stock according to the terms of the merger; or (ii) to call in one or more or even all of the debentures as due and payable within six (6) months of the “call” date with regard to each debenture and such obligation of the Company to pay shall include a 3% premium on the principal balance or (iii) let one or more of the debentures remain in effect according to the original terms, however, if the Company completes a merger with a public entity the Company has the right to pay-off the debentures remaining principal balance and with a required 3% premium and any accrued interest. Although these convertible debentures appear to meet the requirements of stock settled debt under ASC 480 due to the variable conversion fixed rate, no premium on the debt or related interest expense has been recorded at the debt issuance dates since the conversion option is contingent on a future event. On March 31, 2015, there was $1,415,546 of convertible debt which included $7,176 accrued interest that was converted into 2,211,791 shares of Common stock as a result of the closing of a reverse merger with Information Systems Associate, Inc. (ISA). The conversion was priced at a 20% discount from the ISA closing price on June 30, 2015 of $0.80 for a net conversion price of $0.64 per share in accordance with the original terms of the convertible debentures. As a result of this conversion, $37,120 of accrued debt premium relating to the 3% provision noted above, which is not required to be paid to debenture holders, was reclassified to additional paid-in capital and a $352,093 interest expense was recognized and recorded as a debt premium on March 31, 2015 pursuant to the resolution of the contingency under ASC 480 and then reclassified to additional paid-in capital. In June 2015, the Company issued three Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount of $115,000 to the same investor group for a 2-year term, 8% coupon and convertible into the Company's common stock at a 35% discount from the 5-trading days average closing price immediately preceding conversion. On June 10, 2015 the investor made the first investment of $50,000, with subsequent further investments of $50,000 on June 16, 2015 and $15,000 on June 24. Based on the fixed conversion ratio, these notes are treated as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and accordingly, a premium of $61,923 was recorded and charged to interest expense.

Upon the merger on April 1, 2015, the Company assumed a promissory with a remaining principal balance of $44,325 bearing interest at 1.5% per month. The note holder gave 30 day notice to the Company on May 1, 2015 for the note to be repaid in full plus any interest due. On June 30, 2015 an Addendum to Promissory Note was executed and agreed that the payment of $46,975, $44,325 plus accrued interest of $2,650 in connection with the Debt Purchase Agreement represents the total settlement of the Note. Also, on June 30, 2015 a current shareholder and services provider agreed to assume the new $46,975 note with the existing terms and conditions and an addendum was signed for the assumption and making the note convertible into the Company’s common stock at a 50% discount to the average price for the previous 5 trading days and the new Note is non-interest bearing. The addendum was treated as a debt extinguishment. The Company recorded a premium of $23,487 since the note was convertible at a fixed rate to a fixed monetary amount equal to $70,462 pursuant to ASC 480. On June 30, 2015 the balance on the note was $70,462 which includes the $23,487 premium.

The note holder was also issued 55,944 five year warrants with a $0.40 strike price and cashless exercise feature. The Company recorded a stock settled debt premium of $21,538 in accordance with ASC 480 and a warrant discount of $30,427 which is being amortized over the debt term.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Stock Purchase Agreement and Amendment

On September 19, 2014, UDC entered into a definitive material agreement for the Purchase of Uni-Data and Communications, Inc., (UDC) a division of Unity International Group Inc (UIG), based in New York City. The agreement called for UIG to sell UDC to duostech, as a wholly owned and operating entity. The companies executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) which called for the sale of 100% of the shares of UDC for the payment of $10 million.

The agreement was subject to duostech becoming a public entity and raising $12M in capital to render the purchase price and have sufficient working capital to operate UDC successfully.

The agreement could be terminated based on a number of conditions including duostech inability to raise the required funding and/or become a public entity. On February 12, 2015, the Company executed an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Unity International Group (UIG).  The original agreement was due to expire on January 31, 2015 without the payment of a $150,000 extension fee by duostech to UIG.  The amendment called for certain changes in terms and conditions related to the original stock purchase agreement including an adjustment of the purchase price from $10M to $7M of which $6.75M was to be paid in cash and the balance of $250K paid in ISA stock based on the fact that duostech had successfully agreed to a reverse merger with Information Systems Associates (ISA) although that transaction was not consummated at the time of that amendment.  Certain other conditions were also amended including an extension of the closing date, without payment of an extension fee to June 30, 2015 and a further optional extension period to May 31, 2015 with the payment of an extension fee of $150,000 with certain credits of this fee against the purchase price if the deal was closed by April 30, 2015.  On April 1, 2015, duostech closed its reverse merger with the Company as a condition precedent to closing the UDC transaction and on April 5, 2015, remitted $150,000 in payment of the extension fee to UIG thereby extending the agreement to May 31, 2015.   As previously disclosed in the Company’s interim report, the closing of the acquisition was subject to the Company raising the capital needed for the purchase price. As the necessary amounts were not raised by May 31, 2015, the closing under the Agreement did not occur. The Company continued negotiations with the Seller after May 31, 2015 regarding an extension of such date and, although, the Seller granted a temporary extension through June 16, 2015, no agreement was reached relating to an extension acceptable to the parties. Accordingly, on June 26, 2015, the parties agreed to terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Placement Agency Agreement

On February 18, 2015, duostech agreed to engage an exclusive placement agent in connection with the possible private placement of equity, equity-linked or debt securities (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was for an initial term of 180 days and called for a transaction fee equal to 9% of amounts raised in the offering by the agent from qualified investors, payable in cash upon closing, and warrants for 9% of the aggregate amount of all equity and equity-linked securities actually placed in the offering by the agent. Additionally, duostech undertook to pay costs and expenses of the placement agent associated with the offering, which were not to exceed $40,000. On June 29, 2015, the Company and the placement agent terminated the agreement; no success fee amounts were due. Previously, on October 30, 2014, such entity was engaged as an exclusive financial advisor and pursuant to such engagement was paid a total of $15,000 in respect of the merger with ISA.

On or about December 22, 2014, Corky Wells Electric (“CW Electric”) filed suit in the Circuit Court of Boyd County, Kentucky, demanding relief related to a promissory note issued by duostech to CW Electric on December 10, 2008 in the amount of $741,329. duostech further entered into a “Stipulation for Settlement” on September 30, 2009 wherein CW Electric agreed to dismiss its lawsuit and duostech agreed to resume payments. CW Electric is claiming that duostech breached the terms of that Stipulation for Settlement by not making the required number of payments. The plaintiff contends that due to the breach of payment terms, under the terms of the Promissory Note, the outstanding amount continues to accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum, compounded monthly for a total of $1,411,650 due through the future final payment date. Amounts of $1,411,650 and $1,411,650 have been accrued as a contingent lawsuit payable at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company disputes plaintiff’s computation and has retained counsel who has initially filed a motion to move the lawsuit into Federal court, which was successful and obtained an extension of time to respond to C.W. Electric’s Complaint. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to Plaintiff’s allegations.

In early 2015, the Company elected to cancel its software development with FacilityTeam of Ontario, Canada. This cancellation was based primarily on a lack of deliverables against pre-agreed project milestones. FacilityTeam elected to file a suit for breach of contract in Palm Beach county Florida which both had no merit and was in direct contravention of the agreed resolution for disputes being mediation and, if necessary, Arbitration. The Company’s counsel was successful in getting the court to order mediation which was scheduled for August 10, 2015 (see Subsequent Events).

Delinquent Payroll Taxes Payable

The Company has a delinquent payroll tax payable at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 in the amount of $303,179 and $600,181, respectively. Currently, the Company has satisfied $353,859 of the December 31, 2014 balance and will continue to make monthly payments to the IRS in the amount of $25,000 for the remaining balance. The Company has requested an installment plan.

 

Operating lease

 

The lease of the Company’s offices prior to the merger with duostech was terminated due to the relocation of our office to Jacksonville, FL as a result of the completion of reverse triangular merger.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Conversion of Debt

On March 31, 2015, Duos Ventures LLC converted $1,415,546 of convertible debentures which included $7,176 accrued interest into 2,211,791 shares of Common stock as a result of the closing of a reverse merger with Information Systems Associate, Inc. (ISA). The conversion was priced at a 20% discount from the ISA closing price on March 31, 2015 of $0.80 for a net conversion price of $0.64 per share in accordance with the original terms of the convertible debentures. As a result of this conversion, $37,120 of accrued debt premium relating to the 3% provision (see Note 3) was reclassified to equity and a $352,093 interest expense was recognized and recorded as a debt premium on March 31, 2015 pursuant to the resolution of the contingency under ASC 480 and reclassified to equity.

 

Reverse Merger

On April 1, 2015, the Company completed a reverse triangular merger, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company (“Duos”), Information Systems Associates, Inc. (ISA), a publicly traded company, and Duos Acquisition Corporation, a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ISA (“Merger Sub”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Duos, with Duos remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISA (the “Merger”). The Merger was effective as of April 1, 2015, upon the filing of a copy of the Merger Agreement and articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida (the “Effective Time”). As part of the merger agreement, ISA confirmed to Duos executives that its stockholders would receive 60,000,000 common shares of ISA. The Company intends to carry on Duos’ business as a line of business following the Merger. The Company also intends to continue ISA's existing operations through its existing wholly owned subsidiary, TrueVue 360, Inc. Duos made the decision to become a public company to give it broader access to the public financial markets to support its growth goals.  The objective was to streamline the merger process by finding a clean, operating entity with no “toxic” debt and that was not and had never been a shell company.

 

The merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method under ASC 805-40 with ISA deemed to be the acquired company for accounting purposes.  This determination is based on Duos shareholders obtaining an approximate 98% voting control as well as management and Board control of the combined entity. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and historical operations that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements after the merger are those of Duos stated at historical cost and the assets and liabilities of ISA were recorded at their fair values at the merger date. The results of operations of ISA are only consolidated with the results of operations starting on the merger date. An analysis of Duos Technologies established a total enterprise valuation of $19,350,000 using a relative values approach. At the time of the merger, it was estimated that ISA shareholders would own approximately 2% of the outstanding stock after issuance of 60,000,000 shares to Duos shareholders.  This resulted in a purchase price of $393,929. The difference between the recorded historical value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaling $1,578,816 was allocated $165,000 for trade name and technology and a further $250,000 for existing customer relationships both of which will be amortized over 2 years.  These trade name and technology amounts are based on the value of a secured loan against the patent and software and the customer relationships is calculated based on the estimated gross margin for the next two years for certain customer relationships.  The remaining $1,163,816 is allocated to Goodwill which is the expected synergies that will benefit the combined entity. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. For accounting purposes, the Company is deemed to have issued 1,246,870 common shares to the ISA shareholders for a purchase price of $393,929.

 

In connection with the merger, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $36,718 in 2014 of which $16,425 is included in professional fees, $10,000 is included in salaries, wages and contract labor and $10,293 is included in general and administrative expenses on the December 31, 2014 statements of operations. In addition, the Company incurred $75,489 in 2015 of which $31,812 is included in professional fees, $35,000 is included in salaries, wages and contract labor and $8,677 is included in general and administrative expenses as of March 31, 2015.

On May 20, 2015, the Company entered into a 1-year agreement with a third party for consulting services.  The prepaid vested shares were issued in June 2015 and valued on that day at the closing price of the stock on the previous day of $0.65 per share for a total of $65,000. The $65,000 was recorded as a prepaid asset which is being amortized to expense over the agreement term.

 

On March 31, 2015, the Company issued 50,000 of common stock to a software engineering vendor for a $20,000 partial settlement of an outstanding payable.

The Company recorded a $3,200 gain on the settlement of this payable which is included in Other Income in the statement of operations.

In conjunction with and subsequent to the merger agreement, ISA Warrant Holders were granted 19,387 common shares in exchange for existing warrants.  The difference between the fair value of the warrants surrendered and the shares issued resulted in a loss on a settlement of $3,082 charged to operations.

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company’s CFO agreed to exchange $56,482 of accrued salary for restricted shares of the Company.  The Company issued 141,205 shares based on a closing trading price of $0.40 per share.  The shares were further divided and allocated by the CFO to three other parties including two charitable organizations and the son of the CFO with the CFO retaining 45,000 shares.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 1, 2015 the Company agreed terms with a shareholder for the conversion of an outstanding note of $50,000. The note had expired at the end of 2014 and the shareholder agreed to convert the original principal of $50,000 in the Company’s stock and that the balance of the interest of $13,975 would be paid in cash.

On July 8, 2015 the Company received $10,000 and on July 17, 2015 the Company received an additional $10,000 from a shareholder in the form of a $20,000 Convertible Note. The terms of the note are 2 years, convertible into the Company’s stock at a 35% discount from the average of the previous 5 trading day’s closing prices prior to notice of conversion. The Company will record a note premium in the amount of $10,769 based on this note qualifying as stock settled debt under ASC 480.

On July 14, 2015 the Company did not make a payment to a shareholder for a note that came due on that date. The note is for $150,068 in principal and accrued interest of $14,932 for a total of $165,000. Management has been in ongoing discussions with the noteholder regarding converting part of note into the Company’s stock and as of this report, these negotiations are ongoing.

On August 10, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with FacilityTeam of Ontario, Canada to settle a dispute that had arisen concerning payments for software development services (as discussed in Note 6). The Company strongly believed that FacilityTeam did not deliver the products promised and felt that we would prevail in an upcoming Arbitration called for by the contract between the parties. Ultimately, the Company opted to settle the matter for the anticipated cost of the litigation which was estimated be at least $60K rather than spend further resources on defending the claim and pursuing the counterclaim against FacilityTeam. The Company agreed to pay to FacilityTeam $2,500 per month starting in the fourth quarter of 2015 for 24 months and anticipates taking a charge in third quarter of 2015 of the settlement amount.

Revenues

Revenues were $1,608,869 and $1,149,499 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in revenue for 2015 is due to increased project activity amounting to $443,368, in addition to an increase in service of $16,002.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of revenues were $753,283 and $567,706 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in 2015 cost of revenues reflects the proportional increase in project revenue as well as additional maintenance and technical support expenses related to new projects.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $2,732,795 and $689,788, respectively. The increase in operating expenses resulted from an increase in administrative and general expense, salaries, wages and contract labor and professional fees expense of $126,014 and $38,127, respectively. The significant increase in administration and general expense of $285,479 includes an extension fee for UDC acquisition of $150,000, a decrease in the same period in 2014 with over $45,000 in write off’s and $19,500 increase in 2015 for director fees. The increase in salaries, wages and contract is due to adding the employee’s from the merger and an increase in commissions due to the increase in revenue. The increase in professional fees is mainly due to legal and accounting services related to the merger. Additionally, an impairment charge was recorded during the three month ended June 30, 2015 of $1,578,816.

Loss From Operations

The loss from operations for the three months ended, June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,877,209 and $107,995, respectively. The increase in loss from operations can be attributed to the increase in overall cost of the merger, impairment charges and operating as a public entity.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $175,118 and $32,350, respectively. The increase in interest expense primarily resulted primarily from an increase in non-cash note payable discount interest expense of $105,926 as a result of the settlement of certain convertible notes and other financing costs related to on- going working capital requirements during the transition period prior to the merger.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,052,322 and $275,287, respectively. The approximate $1,777,035 increase in net loss was due to the impairment loss of $1,578,816 for goodwill and intangible assets, increases in other operating expenses of $190,398 and an increase in interest expense of $142,768. Net loss per common share was $0.03 and $0.01 for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 60,811,682 shares and 56,605,329 shares, respectively.

Revenues

Revenues were $2,710,963 and $2,209,922 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in revenue for 2015 is due to increased project activity amounting to $467,590, in addition to an increase in service of $33,410.

Cost of Revenues

Costs of revenues were $1,302,173 and $1,161,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in 2015 cost of revenues is due additional costs associated with new projects but costs increased at a lower rate than revenues and Gross Margins increased by 10% over the equivalent period in 2014.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3,650,530 and $1,510,225, respectively. The increase in operating expenses resulted from an increase in administrative and general expense, salaries, wages and contract labor and professional fees expense of $152,315, and $124,207, respectively. The significant increase in administration and general expense of $282,314 includes the extension fee for UDC acquisition of $150,000, a decrease in the same period in 2014 with over $45,000 in write off’s and $19,500 increase in 2015 for director fees. The increase in salaries, wages and contract is due to adding the employee’s from the merger and an increase in commissions due to the increase in revenue. The increase in professional fees is mainly due to legal and accounting services related to the merger. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,578,816 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Loss From Operations

The loss from operations for the six months ended, June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,241,740 and $462,051, respectively. The $1,779,689 increase in loss from operations can be attributed to the increase in overall cost of the merger, impairment charges and operating as a public entity.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $566,212 and $58,512, respectively. The $507,700 increase in interest expense primarily resulted primarily from an increase in non-cash note payable discount interest expense and other non-cash financing costs as a result of the settlement of certain convertible notes and other financing costs related to on- going working capital requirements during the transition period prior to the merger.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,804,746 and $789,596, respectively. The $2,015,149 increase in net loss was due to the impairment loss of $1,578,816 for goodwill and intangible assets, increases in other operating expenses of $561,489 and an increase in interest expense of $520,548. Net loss per common share was $0.05 and $0.01 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 59,278,951 shares and 56,605,329 shares, respectively.

Liquidity

As of August 19, 2015, we had cash on hand of approximately $163,000. The Company needs to pay approximately $303,000 due to the IRS. In addition, the Company has approximately $85,000 in monthly lease and other mandatory payments, not including payroll and ordinary expenses which must be paid monthly. In addition, we have $1.3 million in convertible and other notes payable due over the next 12 months, of which $165,000 is past due, $310,000 comes due in October 2015 and $100,000 due in December 2015.

 

In June 2015, we entered into a financing agreement with a third party whereby they agreed to invest in Company convertible notes from time to time up to a maximum amount of $2 million. We raised in June 2015 $115,000 from the facility.

We need to raise working capital and/or generate funds in order to meet our on-going operating requirements, including the integration of Duos following the merger, pay outstanding loans due as of August 14, 2015 in the aggregate approximate amount of $200,000 and to realize our business plan. We believe that our currently existing cash resources, including the financing facility referred to above and anticipated revenue stream, are sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements through December 31, 2015, provided that we generate through September 30, 2015 approximately $1 million in revenues and that we are able to defer the outstanding loans.

The Company’s business model provides for revenues from projects and ongoing maintenance. As of the filing of this report on Form 10-Q, we had a backlog of orders aggregating $7M, of which 50% is expected to be realized during 2015.

 

However, there are factors that can impact our ability to continue to fund our operating needs through December 31, 2015, including

 

  Our ability to generate revenues of at least $1 million through September 30, 2015;
     
  Our ability to expand sales volume;
     
  Our ability to maintain product pricing as expected, particularly in light of increased competition and its unknown effects on market dynamics;
     
  Our ability and that of our contract manufacturers to maintain manufacturing costs as expected; and
     
  Our continued need to reduce cost structure while simultaneously expanding the breadth of our business, enhancing our technical capabilities and pursing new business opportunities.

 

Management continues in its efforts to raise working capital through the sale of its securities. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that these plans will be successful. If we are unable to raise additional capital through a capital raise or revenues, it may be necessary for us to take measures to reduce our cash burn including laying-off personnel, or suspending or deferring certain activities. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise the needed capital. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such “going concern” qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds. In addition, any additional equity financings is likely to be dilutive to holders of our Common Stock and debt financing, if available, may require us to be bound by significant repayment obligations and covenants that restrict our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no-off balance sheet contractual arrangements, as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its IT asset management business in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985-605-25 which addresses Revenue Recognition for the software industry. The general criteria for revenue recognition under ASC 985-605 for our Company which sells software licenses which do not require any significant modification or customization is that revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.

The Company’s IT asset management business generates revenues from three sources: (1) Professional Services (consulting & auditing); (2) Software licensing with optional hardware sales and (3) Customer Service (training and maintenance support);

For sales arrangements that do not involve multiple elements: 

(1) Revenues for professional services, which are of short term duration, are recognized when services are completed,

 

(2) Throughout the date of 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.

 

(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.

 

For our Intelligent Technology Systems business, we derive revenues from projects and from maintenance and technical supports as follows: 

 

 (27) 

Table of Contents 

 

Project Revenue

 

The Company constructs intelligent technology systems consisting of materials and labor under customer contracts. Revenues and related costs on project revenue are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract. 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 “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”. Any billings of customers in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”. 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. Costs 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.

Maintenance and 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 as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

 

 (28) 

Table of Contents 

 

Multiple Elements

Arrangements with customers may involve multiple elements 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 IT Asset Management business, multiple elements 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 multiple element arrangement is as follows:

 

Each element is accounted for separately when each element 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 element is recognized using the applicable criteria under GAAP as discussed below for elements sold in non-multiple element 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 it 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 multiple element 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 element arrangements with Company customers qualify as separate units of account for revenue recognition purposes. 

 

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenues represent billings or cash received in excess of revenue recognizable on service agreements that are not accounted for under the percentage of completion method.

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.

 

Share-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the shorter of the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award or the vesting period. The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date”. The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

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. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, estimates of percentage completion on projects and related revenues, valuation of warrants issued with debt, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of stock-based awards, valuation of long-lived assets for impairment, measurement and useful lives of property and equipment and valuation of loss contingencies. 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.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The information to be reported under this item is not required of smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Principal Operating Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Report.  Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness noted below, in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Material weaknesses: due to the small size of its accounting staff, the Company did not have sufficient segregation of duties to support its internal control over financial reporting and did not have sufficient technical expertise with regard to financial reporting for publicly held companies.  We plan to rectify these weaknesses by hiring internal or external additional accounting personnel once we have the necessary resources to do so.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
