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

Nature of Operations

Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (“Company”), through its operating subsidiary “Duos Technologies, Inc. (“duostech”) is primarily engaged in the design and deployment of state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence driven intelligent technologies systems. 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. praesidium® 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 expansion of its technology base through organic development efforts, strategic partnerships, and growth through strategic acquisitions. duostech’s primary target industry sectors include transportation, with emphasis on freight and transit railroad owners/operators, petro-chemical, utilities and healthcare.

As reported previously, Duos Technologies Group, Inc. is the result of the reverse merger between duostech and a wholly owned subsidiary of Information Systems Associates, Inc., a Florida corporation (“ISA”), which became effective as of April 1, 2015 and as a result of which duostech became a wholly owned subsidiary of the merged entity. The merger was followed by a corporate name change to Duos Technologies Group, Inc., a symbol change from IOSA to DUOT and up-listing from OTC Pink to OTCQB.

ISA’s original business of IT Asset Management (ITAM) services for large data centers is now operated as a division of the Company that continues its sales efforts through large strategic partners. ISA 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited condensed notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2016. 

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, duostech and TrueVue 360, Inc. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, 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

Cash is maintained at financial institutions and at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses related to these balances. There were no amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 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 any write-downs in its accounts receivable balances through September 30, 2016. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and total accounts receivable at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively:

Geographic Concentration

Approximately 18% of revenue is generated from customers outside of the United States.

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, 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.

(Unaudited)

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 September 30, 2016, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,600,840 shares of common stock and 1,819,418 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt (principal and interest) were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Segment Information

The Company operates in one reportable segment.

Reclassifications

Certain note amounts in the 2015 consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified within current liabilities to conform to the 2016 presentation.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The ASU defers the effective date of previously issued ASU 2014-09 (the new revenue recognition standard) by one year for both public and private companies. The ASU requires public entities to apply the new revenue recognition guidance for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Both public and nonpublic entities will be permitted to apply the new revenue recognition standard as of the original effective date for public entities (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016).  The Company plans to adopt this standard for their fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.  The Company is in the process of analyzing the impacts of this ASU, but does not believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees will need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a lease liability.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09: "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)-Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" which includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is in the process of analyzing the impacts of this ASU, but does not believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,092,558 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  During the same period, cash used in operations was $1,518,348. The working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2016 was $3,901,399, $4,915,212 and $23,043,734, 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, raise additional capital and become profitable. Management embarked on a business growth strategy in 2014 to engage with private companies in or related to its market space with the intention of a merger or acquisition. In April 2015, the Company completed a reverse triangular merger whereby duostech became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The two companies are now integrated and the merged company continues to grow its business in all of the markets where they have previously operated. The Company was successful on April 1, 2016 in closing long-term debt financing of $1.8 million for the purposes of settling certain current debt and payables obligations. Net proceeds after placement agency fees, legal fees, due diligence expenses and direct payments from the lender to certain creditors of the Company were $837,891.  (See Note 3)

Additionally, during the reporting period, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new class of Preferred Stock, “Series A”.  The Articles of Amendment Designating Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A were filed with State on October 31, 2016.  The Series A designated 500,000 of the Company’s 10 million “blank check” preferred stock with a stated value of $10 per share, an 8% cumulative dividend payable when and if declared by the Board and a provision to convert into the Company’s common stock at $0.18 per share.  If the holder elects to convert the Series A to common stock, the cumulative dividend amount will also be converted to common stock.  The Series A is redeemable by the holder after 3 years including all unconverted stated value and accrued dividends.  For shareholders who invested in previous private placements, the Company is offering on a case by case basis, the ability to convert the existing amount invested into an equivalent amount in the Series A on the condition that they invest an equivalent additional amount in the Series A.  The company continues in discussions with certain potential investors with a view to obtaining equity financing to invest in resources to support and accelerate our growth from anticipated orders and provide additional working capital. (See Note 9)

While no assurance can be provided, management believes that these actions provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern and to grow its business and achieve profitability. 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 related 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.

On June 30, 2015, an Addendum to Promissory Note was executed providing 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 of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding conversion and the new Note is non-interest bearing. The addendum was treated as a debt extinguishment. The Company recorded a premium of $46,975 since the note was convertible at a fixed rate to a fixed monetary amount equal to $93,950 pursuant to ASC 480. On September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balance on the note was $93,950 which includes the $46,975 premium and there was accrued interest on September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $10,568 and $4,228, respectively. During the previous quarter, the new holder attempted a conversion into stock of a portion of the note. The Company determined that the conversion notice was invalid in several respects and rejected the conversion. As previously disclosed, on May 23, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit against, the holder of this note and another convertible note described above. The Company owes the principal and interest due under the notes and has sought to pay principal and interest of the note which first came due but its offer was rejected. As of the date of this report, the lawsuit remains unresolved. (see Notes 5 and 9).

Note Payable – Third Party

On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor, which, together with the transaction documents referenced therein, provides for the terms in the following paragraph. The Company closed the Offering on April 1, 2016.

The offering amount was $1,800,000 less a 5% original issue discount. The note is a senior debt obligation secured by substantially all assets of the Company and shares of all current and future subsidiaries as well as being guaranteed by each subsidiary but is not convertible into the Company’s stock. The senior secured note also contains certain default provisions and is subject to standard covenants such as restrictions on issuing new debt. In conjunction with the note, the Company issued a warrant exercisable for 2.5 million shares of common stock exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The warrants also contain certain anti-dilution provisions that apply in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transactions as well as a potential adjustment to the exercise price based on certain events. The relative fair value of the warrants of $466,031 was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. The note will mature three years from the closing date and will accrue interest at the rate of 14% per annum, payable monthly. The note will accrue additional interest at the rate of 2% per annum, compounding monthly, payable annually in arrears. The Company may choose to begin amortizing the principal at any time subject to prepayment premiums. Also, the Company agreed to an amended placement agent’s fee with respect to the placement of such loan which differed from the original terms agreed with the Placement Agent as that agreement had expired (see Note 5, Placement Agency Agreement). The amendment included (a) postponement of payment of the cash fee of $5,000 to 15 days of execution of the term sheet, (b) the closing fee was fixed to $137,000 (based on a $1.8 million debt funding) and three-year warrants for 200,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.40 per share and valued at their fair value of $43,272.  Other closing expenses totaled $40,000 plus another $10,000 of legal fees previously paid.  Total cash issue costs of $192,000, the original issue discount of $90,000, the warrant relative fair value of $466,031 and warrant fair value of $43,272 were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized over the three-year term of the debt.  Net proceeds were $1,518,000 after all issue costs.  Additionally, at closing, certain previously recorded obligations of the Company totaling $690,110, as discussed below, were paid directly from the lender reducing the actual proceeds to the Company.

On April 1, 2016, in conjunction with the closing of the aforementioned Securities Purchase Agreement, the sum of $558,032 was remitted out of the proceeds in final settlement of the litigation with CW Electric.  This amount consisted of $550,000 of the agreed settlement plus $8,032 of accrued interest. This represents full and final settlement of this matter, which is now closed.

On April 1, 2016, the Company directed the sum of $132,078 to be paid out of proceeds of the Securities Purchase agreement to a shareholder who held a note secured against part of the Company’s assets.  The payment of $125,000 in principal and $7,078 of accrued interest represents full payment of the note and the noteholder no longer holds any security against the assets.

On April 1, 2016, the Company made a payment of $142,000 (part of the $182,000 discussed above) to a placement agent as compensation for arrangement of financing through the aforementioned Securities Purchase Agreement.  The payment was deducted from proceeds of that agreement.  The Company issued 200,000 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.40 to the agent as additional compensation.  These amounts are broadly in line with the anticipated compensation agreed within the original placement agency agreement which was terminated in December, 2015.

NOTE 4 – LINE OF CREDIT

The Company assumed a line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank upon the closing of the merger on April 1, 2015. The line of credit provided for borrowings up to $40,000, but is now closed to future borrowing. The outstanding balance under the facility as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $38,827 and $40,216, respectively, including accrued interest. This line of credit has no maturity date. The annual interest rate is 10%.  The former CEO of the Company personally guaranteed the repayment of the outstanding amount.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Placement Agency Agreement

On July 1, 2015, duostech entered into a limited exclusive placement agent agreement in connection with the proposed offer and placement of up to $5,000,000 of securities, convertible instruments, private notes or loans (excluding a registered public offering) of the Company. The Agreement was for an initial term of 120 days. duostech paid an initial fee of $15,000 in connection with this engagement with an additional $5,000 due upon the acceptance by duostech of a valid term sheet. In the event of a transaction being concluded, the agent would have been paid 5% of senior debt that is not convertible and 8% cash plus 8% warrants of any equity based transaction. At the conclusion of the initial term no acceptable term sheet had been presented and the Company terminated the agreement on December 1, 2015. The parties agreed to continue working together without a formal agreement but with an understanding that should a term sheet be accepted and a subsequent financing be secured, Duos would honor the terms of the original agreement as described above.

On January 6, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment banker to provide general financial advisory and investment banking services. Services included, but not limited to in the agreement are to provide a valuation analysis of the Company, assist management and advise the Company with respect to its strategic planning process and business plans including an analysis of markets, positioning, financial models, organizational structure, potential strategic alliances, capital requirements, potential national listing and working closely with the Company’s management team to develop a set of long and short-term goals with special focus on enhancing corporate and shareholder value. The Agreement is for an initial term of six months. The Company shall pay a non-refundable fee accruing at the rate of $10,000 per month, for the term of the agreement. These advisory fee payments will be accrued and deferred for payment until the earlier of 1) closing of a financing described in the agreement, 2) a closing of interim funding at which point fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding monthly advisory fee will be payable on the last day of the month following closing of the interim financing or 3) the termination of the agreement.  The Company issued to the investment banker 912,000 vested shares of the Company’s common stock as of the execution date of this agreement. In addition, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 302,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants shall have a 5-year term and an exercise price of $0.30. (See Note 7)

On January 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide advisory services for an initial period of six months. The consultant will assist the Company with its objective of evaluating financing and other strategic options in connection with operational expansion and respond to any opportunities that arise in regard to strategic partnerships/acquisition/joint ventures or other business relationships that may advance revenue growth and enterprise value. Upon a qualified financing of at least $1,500,000 through a party introduced by the consultant, the Company agreed to issue up to $90,000 in equity or cash at the same rate and terms as the basis of the financing. In consideration for development services thirty days from the execution of this agreement, 20,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company will be granted to the consultant or assigns and be issued within fifteen days of the grant. Also, 30,000 additional shares shall be granted to the consultant or assigns on completion of any transactions with a potential participant. In consideration for advisory services, the non-refundable sum of $5,000 was payable upon execution of the agreement with a further $5,000 to be deferred and paid upon the completion of any transaction with a potential participant.  On May 5, 2016, the Company cancelled the agreement due to lack of performance with the consultant who was to provide advisory services for an initial period of six months.  The Company paid an initial amount of $2,500 and no further compensation will be paid.  No shares of common stock were issued in connection with this agreement.

On May 13, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant in the business of providing services for management consulting, business advisory, shareholder information and public relations for a period of three months.  During the Term of this Agreement, the Company will pay to the Consultant the sum of $3,000 per month.  The Company may accrue monthly fees without payment to the consultant until the company closes a qualified financing other than the first month’s retainer. Upon signing, the Company issued to the Consultant 125,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock for a total purchase price of $100 and recorded $27,400 as a prepaid asset to be amortized over the three-month term.  The Company amortized $27,400 to expense as of September 30, 2016. As of August 14, 2016, the agreement had expired and was not renewed in writing by the parties as called for in the agreement.  The Company continues to work with the Principal on certain potential funding arrangements that were started (but not consummated) during the period in which the contract was in effect.

Litigation

On or about December 22, 2014, Corky Wells Electric (“CW Electric”) filed suit in the Circuit Court of Boyd County, Kentucky, against duostech demanding relief related to a promissory note issued by duostech to CW Electric on December 10, 2008 in the amount of $741,329. The suit was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Ashland Division. Previously, duostech entered into a “Stipulation for Settlement” on September 30, 2009 wherein CW Electric agreed to dismiss a previous lawsuit and duostech agreed to resume payments on the promissory note. In its suit, CW Electric contended that duostech breached the terms of that Stipulation for Settlement by not making the required number of payments at the times stipulated therein. CW Electric further contended that due to the breach of payment terms, under the terms of the promissory note, the outstanding amount continued to accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum, which compounded monthly for a total of $1,411,650 due through the future final payment date.

Effective October 28, 2015, duostech and CW Electric entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties have agreed to settle the suit upon the payment by duostech to CW Electric of $550,000 (the “Settlement Amount”) by February 15, 2016. An agreed judgment, evidencing the Company’s agreement to pay the Settlement Amount, was signed by the parties (the “Agreed Judgment”) and such document deposited into escrow with CW Electric’s counsel. At the time of the payment of the Settlement Amount, the Agreed Judgment is to be returned to the Company for destruction.

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, duostech had until February 15, 2016 to pay the Settlement Amount and, if such amount was not paid by such date, then the Agreed Judgment was to be filed with the court and executed upon, with interest due at 12% per annum beginning February 15, 2016.

On February 9, 2016, duostech’s counsel informed CW Electric’s counsel that on February 5, 2016, Duos executed a term sheet with an investment fund which will, among other things, provide the funding for the settlement with C.W. Electric. At the time, Duos and the lender believed that the closing would take place during or prior to the second week in March. Consequently, Duos requested that C.W. Electric refrain from filing and/or executing on the Agreed Judgment attached to the Settlement Agreement until after the closing, as they were in the final stretches of obtaining the funding necessary to resolve this matter. CW Electric’s counsel agreed to an extension and following the filing of a respective joint motion, the District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky entered an order of continuance until March 20, 2016 and further extended until April 20, 2016.  Payment was made in full upon the closing of the loan dated April 1, 2016.

A contingent lawsuit payable of $550,000 was reflected at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  On April 1, 2016, CW has released the Company, duostech and affiliates from any action that could have been brought in the suit.

On April 27, 2016, the holder of two convertible notes issued a notice of conversion to the Company for a portion of one of the notes. The conversion notice was determined to be invalid as was a previous conversion notice issued on the other note during the quarter. A difference of opinion has arisen between the holder and the Company as to the mechanics of conversion and the Company had been in discussions to resolve those differences. On May 23, 2016, we filed a lawsuit against the holder. The suit alleges, amongst other things, that the officers and directors of Greentree that entered into the notes, failed to disclose legal facts with respect to their personal conduct in the past, which, had the Company known, would have made it unlikely that such transaction would have been consummated. The Company owes the principal and interest due under the notes and sought to pay principal and interest of the note which first came due, but the offer was rejected. On May 24, 2016, the Company learned through a third party that the holder had filed suit against the Company on May 12, 2016 for default on one of notes, but had not notified the Company or its attorneys, nor served either the Company or its attorneys. The Company was served shortly thereafter.  (See Note 9)

Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology and include, without limitation, statements below regarding: the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s intended business plans; the ability to raise working capital as needed; expectations as to market acceptance of the Company’s products; and belief as to the sufficiency of cash reserves. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. these factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Company’s inability to raise funds to continue operations; the effect of a going concern statement by the Company’s auditors; the success of our merger with Duos Technologies, Inc. (“duostech”); the success of the merged operations; the competitive environment generally and in the Company’s specific market areas; changes in technology; the availability of and the terms of financing; changes in costs and availability of goods and services; economic conditions in general and in the Company’s specific market areas; demographic changes; changes in federal, state and /or local government law and regulations affecting the technology; changes in operating strategy or development plans; and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Overview

Duos Technologies Group, Inc., formerly known as Information Systems Associates, Inc. (“ISA”), was incorporated in Florida on May 31, 1994. We are headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Our wholly owned subsidiary, duostech 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.

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.

Our strategy includes expansion of its technology base through organic development efforts, strategic partnerships, and growth through strategic acquisitions. duostech’s primary target industry sectors include transportation, with emphasis on freight and transit railroad owners/operators, petro-chemical, utilities and healthcare.

ISA's original business for IT Asset Management (ITAM) services for large data centers is now operated as a division of our company that continues its sales efforts through large strategic partners. ISA 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.

Prospects and Outlook

Over the past several years, we have made substantial investment in product research and development and achieved significant milestones in the development of our technology solutions. We have made progress in penetrating the market with our proprietary technology solutions, more particularly in the rail industry which is currently undergoing a major shift in maintenance strategies. We believe that this shift will be a significant motivating factor for using our technologies. We also continue to expand our IT professional audit services.

19

Our business success in the immediate future will largely depend on the increased penetration of our target markets for our proprietary intelligent security analytical technology solutions.   

Notwithstanding the above, no assurance can be provided that our product offerings will generate the market acceptance and orders that we contemplate.
