NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 AND 2012

These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The operating results and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 or for future periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment costs, depreciation and amortization, sales returns and discounts, warranty costs, uncertain tax positions and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, stock compensation, contingencies and the fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. The statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Consolidation

Effective April 30, 2011, Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of Sole Vision Technologies (dba “MegaSys”), a company based in Taiwan. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 8.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has generated an accumulated deficit from operations of approximately $16.3 million at March 31, 2013 and has used approximately $168,000 in cash from operations through the current three months ended March 31, 2013. As a result, a risk exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The 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 result from this uncertainty.

A multi-step plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits. The highlights of that plan are:

Concentrations

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.

Accounts receivable are unsecured, and the Company is at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Revenue from two customers represented approximately 61% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and approximately 31% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2013.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of MegaSys. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from six months to ten years. Other Intangible Assets are fully amortized as of March 31, 2013. Future amortization of Intangible Assets is as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of MegaSys over the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist.

Accordingly, the Company has recorded an impairment of $955,710 in the Statement of Operations in the year ended 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2013. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Segment Information

The Company conducts operations in various geographic regions outside the United States. The operations and the customer base conducted in the foreign countries are similar to the United States operations. The net revenues and net assets (liabilities) for other significant geographic regions outside the United States are as follows:

Furthermore, due to operations in various geographic locations, the Company is susceptible to changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy and discretionary spending priorities that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations and results.

The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees are legal assessments to the customer, for which the Company has a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. Because the Company does not retain these taxes and fees, the Company does not include such amounts in revenue. The Company records a liability when the amounts are collected and relieves the liability when payments are made to the applicable governmental agencies.

The Company operates as two reportable business segments in defined in ASC 280, "Segment Reporting." Each company has a chief operating decision maker and management personnel review which review their company’s performance as it relates to revenue, operating profit and operating expenses.

Revenues as shown below represent sales to external customers for each segment. Additions to long-lived assets as presented in the following table represent capital expenditures. Inventories, property and equipment for operating segments are regularly reviewed by management and are therefore provided below. 

Reclassification

Certain amounts in 2012 may have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. 

 New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11.

In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

The new amendments will require an organization to:

The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income for both interim and annual reporting periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted.

In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-03, Financial Instruments (Topic 825). This ASU clarifies the scope and applicability of a disclosure exemption that resulted from the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment clarifies that the requirement to disclose "the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3)" does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which fair value is disclosed. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-200—Financial Instruments (Topic 825) which has been deleted. The amendments are effective upon issuance.

In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights)within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF11Ar—Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02, Intangibles--Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU states that an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it isnot more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Codification Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. Under the guidance in this ASU,an entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted,including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. 

The Company has short term loans with two banks in Asia. The loans bear interest from 3.24% to 5.82% and are due in April and September of 2013. The Company has chosen not to use its excess cash to pay off these loans early since the interest rate is relatively low and they are due in the near future.

The holder of the $77,000 note is entitled to subscribe for a purchase 7,000 warrant shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The holder of the $10,000 note is entitled to subscribe for a purchase 909 warrant shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The holder of the 50,000 note was issued 50,000 warrant shares in lieu of interest on August 2, 2012.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value preferred stock. No shares have been issued, and the rights and privileges of this class of stock have not been defined.

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company raised $2,997,500 in a private placement of shares at $1.00 per share. Costs associated with this raise totaled $297,450.

The Company has also granted non-qualified stock options to employees and contractors. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. Options may be exercised up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by the Company upon grant. Vesting periods range from 100% fully vested upon grant to a range of four to five years. Vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as an expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods.

Stock option transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:  

Information with respect to stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2013 is as follows:

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for options granted.

Expected volatility for 2013 was estimated by using the Dow Jones U.S. Industry indexes sector classification methodology for industries similar to the Company. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. The expected life of the options is based on management’s estimate using historical experience.

The Company has provided surveillance services since 2005 at a pre-established rate to entities owned by Ross Farnsworth, either through a family partnership or through his majority-owned LLC, and subsequently Ross Farnsworth became a shareholder of the Company in 2006. Mr. Farnsworth’s holdings are less than 5% of the Company, but the revenue for the period ending March 31, 2013 was $16,718, and there was a trade accounts receivable balance of $0 at March 31, 2013.

The debenture entered into on June 20, 2012 is convertible into shares of Company Common Stock on or before the Maturity Date, at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. The Company had net losses for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the effect of including dilutive securities in the earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, all options and warrants to purchase common shares (totaling 7,768,356 potential shares at March 31, 2013) were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

The following is the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement of Iveda Solutions, Inc. and MegaSys, as though the acquisition of MegaSys had been completed as of the beginning of the comparable annual reporting period for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, for comparability purposes.

In April 2013, the Company sold 1,373,000 shares of Company Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share in 19 private placement transactions from 9 individual investors, 3 corporations 1 trust and 2 employee benefit plans.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited financial statements and associated notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our financial statements is set forth in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Such policies are unchanged.

Overview

Iveda Solutions, Inc. began operations on January 24, 2005, under the name IntelaSight, Inc., a Washington corporation doing business as Iveda Solutions (“IntelaSight”). On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Iveda Corporation (formerly known as Charmed Homes, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, through a merger. All Company operations were conducted through IntelaSight until December 31, 2010, at which time IntelaSight merged with and into Iveda Corporation, which changed its name to Iveda Solutions, Inc. On April 30, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. (doing business as MegaSys), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of China (“MegaSys”). As of April 30, 2011, MegaSys is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company installs video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes, and provides video hosting, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services with a proprietary reporting system, DSR™ (Daily Surveillance Report), to a variety of businesses and organizations. By consolidating computer power into a single location at the server level, the Company creates efficiencies due to economies of scale leveraging cloud computing, which offers more features and flexibility compared to traditional box systems. The Company has a SAFETY Act Designation by the Department of Homeland Security as an anti-terrorism technology provider. The Company’s principal sources of revenue are derived from our video hosting real-time surveillance, and equipment sales and installation.

MegaSys, our Taiwanese subsidiary, specializes in deploying video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and Safe City initiatives in Taiwan and other neighboring countries. MegaSys integrates security surveillance products, software and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Most of MegaSys’s revenues are derived from one-time sales, which differs from Iveda’s business model of on-going video hosting, remote video storage, and real-time surveillance revenues. MegaSys does not own any proprietary technology or intellectual property other than certain trademarks in Taiwan used in its business.

Results of Operations

Revenue. We recorded revenue of $615,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $710,825 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an decrease of $95,603 or 13%. In the first fiscal quarter of 2013, our recurring service revenue was $169,009 or 27% of revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $435,833 or 71% of revenue, compared to recurring service revenue of $194,369 or 27% of revenue, and equipment sales and installation revenue of $500,865 or 70% of revenue for the same period in 2012. The overall decrease in revenue was due to two key customers transitioning from known temporary service with Iveda into handling their video solutions in-house during 2012.

Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue was $564,948 (92% of revenues; gross margin of 8%) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $535,108 (75% of revenue; gross margin of 25%) for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $29,840 or 6%. The increase of cost of revenue and decrease of gross margin was primarily due to the increase of equipment sales revenue which is Megasys’ primary source of revenue. Equipment sales and installation normally garner lower gross margin compared to services.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $1,271,083 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $960,428 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $310,655 or 32%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily related to development costs for expansion of our product offerings, costs associated with the successful equity raise during Q1, increased travel of our sales team to educate and train our national representative network in support of the establishment of the third party distribution channel, and one-time legal fees to successfully settle a lawsuit previously disclosed with Walker Digital, LLC.

Loss from Operations. As a result of the decrease in revenues and related gross profit, combined with an increase in operating expenses, the loss from operations increased to $1,220,809 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $784,711 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase in loss of $436,098 or 56%.

Other Expense-Net. Other expense-net was $35,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $10,430 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $24,989 or 240%.

Net Loss. The increase of $461,087 or 58% in the net loss to $1,256,228 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $795,141 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was primarily the effect of an increase in operating expenses and a reduction in revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash and cash equivalents of $287,356 on March 31, 2013 in our foreign business and $1,419,952 in our domestic business. The increase in cash from $114,462 as of December 31, 2012 was due to approximately $3 million in equity raise. There are no legal or economic factors that materially impact our ability to transfer funds between our domestic and foreign businesses.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $167,937 and $305,107 respectively. Cash used in operating activities for those periods consisted primarily of the net loss from operations.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $16,656 and $203,366 respectively. The large use of cash in investing activities in 2012 was due to increased capital expenditures to expand our infrastructure for a new major customer.

We have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $11.5 million in net operating loss carry forwards available for federal and state income tax purposes. We did not recognize any benefit from these operating loss carry forwards for the year ended 2012 or through the first quarter of 2013. Our operating loss carry forwards expire starting in 2025 and continuing through 2032.

Our capital expenditures and working capital requirements could increase depending on our operating results and other adjustments to our operating plan as may be needed to respond to competition or unexpected events. We believe that our cash on hand as of March 31, 2013 is insufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the short term. We continually evaluate our working capital needs, and we are seeking to obtain additional working capital through debt and equity offerings. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms. In the event that additional funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to reduce the scope of, or cease, operations.

If we are unable to quickly increase our sales, we will need to raise additional capital during the year and may be required to reduce labor expenses to maintain our existing operations.

Revenue from two customers represented approximately 61% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and approximately 31% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2013. No other customers represented greater than 10% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2013. There are some customer receivables that have aged over 120 days. These customers have been identified and an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts has been set up to offset the risk of uncollectibility.

Our U.S. operation has no customer receivables aged over 120 days. The terms for payment for our U.S. operations are “due upon receipt”. Therefore, an allowance for doubtful accounts for this receivable was recorded with respect to our U.S. operations.

Our Taiwan operations through MegaSys have 47% of gross accounts receivables aged over 120 days as of March 31, 2013. The payment terms vary based on the timing of the completion of customer projects. MegaSys generally does not control the time of payment because MegaSys’s product is only one component of the larger project. In general, payment takes place within one year of commencing the project, except that 5% of the total payment is retained and released one year after the completion of the project. Excluding such retained amounts, MegaSys provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for any receivables that will not be paid within one year. Management has set up a 36%, or $369,433, allowance for doubtful accounts as of the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Management deems the rest to be collectible based on the nature of the customer contracts and past experience with similar customers.

Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.

Recent Developments

In April 2013, the Company sold 1,373,000 shares of Company Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share in 19 private placement transactions from 9 individual investors, 3 corporations, 1 trust and 2 employee benefit plans.

These issuances were made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Regulation D, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The facts relied upon by the Company to use this exemption were the following: (a) the Company did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; (b) the issuances were only made to accredited investors; and (c) the Company informed the investors that they would receive “restricted” securities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. During the reporting period, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide Part I, Item 3 disclosures in this Quarterly Report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2013. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting for our U.S. operations. We are in the process of evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting for MegaSys.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Iveda have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or Board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Identified Material Weakness

Oversight of Subsidiary Operations: As of March 31, 2013, the Company needs to hire additional staff at MegaSys that are knowledgeable in SEC accounting and reporting. Increased staffing at the subsidiary level will provide daily oversight of MegaSys operations and minimize the likelihood of any material error in reporting the subsidiary’s results. Action plans are in place to address this staffing need during 2013.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

As our resources allow, we plan to add financial personnel at the subsidiary level to properly provide accurate and timely financial reporting.
