NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

~~March~~June 3130, 2018

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.

Note 2: Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of mutual fund investments principally in federal, state and local government debt securities of $13,~~411~~459 as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. Such mutual fund investments are stated at market value based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs) and are classified as available-for-sale under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders’ equity. The cost of such securities at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 was $14,~~307~~407, with $~~896~~948 of cumulative unrealized losses reported at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018.

Note 3: Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is stated net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $~~755~~713,000 and $946,000 as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Note 4: Loss per Share

Basic loss per share (EPS) is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and under deferred compensation agreements.

The following tables provide the components of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017:

	Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

For the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017, all outstanding stock options, warrants and shares issuable under stock compensation arrangements totaling 1,~~920~~855,~~886~~634 and ~~623~~2,~~587~~048,590 shares, respectively, have been omitted from the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would have been antidilutive. The actual effect of these stock options and shares, if any, on the diluted earnings per share calculation will vary significantly depending on fluctuations in the market price of the Company's stock.

Note 5: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss balances at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017 consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2018			September 30, 2017
	June 30, 2018			September 30, 2017
Foreign currency translation adjustment	$	(46185,~~140~~224	)	$	(155,491	)
Unrealized loss on marketable securities	(~~896~~948		)	(559		)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(47186,~~036~~172	)	$	(156,050	)

Note 6: Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains stock option plans that include both incentive and non-qualified options reserved for issuance to key employees, including officers and directors. All options are issued at fair market value at the grant date and are exercisable in varying installments according to the plans. The plans allow for the payment of option exercises through the surrender of previously owned mature shares based on the fair market value of such shares at the date of surrender.

The Company follows ASC 718 (“Share-Based Payment”), which requires that all share based payments to employees, including stock options, be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values and over the requisite service period. For the three month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $5,595 and $1110,~~395~~791, respectively ($.00 and $.00 per basic and diluted share, respectively), relating to stock compensation. For the ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $1218,~~506~~101 and $2334,~~794~~585, respectively ($.00 and $.00 per basic and diluted share, respectively), relating to stock compensation.

Note 7: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved, in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of ~~revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. This guidance permits the use of either the retrospective~~

revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. This guidance permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method and is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019; early adoption is not permitted prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently ~~in the initial stages of~~ evaluating the effect of implementing this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for long-term leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach to all annual and interim periods presented and is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2020. The Company is currently in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of implementing this guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires a mix of prospective, modified retrospective, and retrospective transition to all annual and interim periods presented and was effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial position.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the definition of a business, which will impact many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The new standard is intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019 and will be considered for any future acquisitions.

Note 8: Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets represent items to be used as a tax deduction or credit in future tax returns for which a tax benefit has been recorded in the income statement. The Company has a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future realization. The full valuation allowance is determined to be appropriate due to the Company's operating losses since fiscal year 2010 and the inherent uncertainties of predicting future operating results in periods over which such net tax differences become deductible. At December 31, 2017, the Company had, as adjusted for the Tax Act (see below), approximately $11.5 million of unrecognized net deferred tax assets available, which includes approximately $7.7 million of tax effected U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. On August 29, 2014, the Company merged with IQinVision, Inc. In connection with this merger, the Company's ability to utilize pre-merger net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in the future is subject to certain limitations pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation on utilization of the Company's U.S. net operating loss carryforwards is presently estimated at $500,000. On November 7, 2017 the Company completed a rights offering that could further limit its ability to utilize prior net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in the future pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. This will not materially impact the balance sheet or statement of operations as all deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that affects 2017. The Tax Act also establishes new tax laws that will affect 2018 and after, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. The Company is still evaluating whether certain tax credits will be recoverable but does not believe that it will have a material impact on the Company's operating results or financial condition.

The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company files U.S. Federal and State income tax returns and foreign tax returns in the United Kingdom, Germany and Israel. The Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations in such jurisdictions for fiscal years prior to 2014 in the U.S. and 2011 in the U.K., Germany and Israel.

Note 9: Fair Value

The majority of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis, but the Company is required on a non-recurring basis to use fair value measurements when analyzing asset impairment as it relates to long-lived assets. The carrying amounts for trade accounts, other receivables, accounts payable and revolving credit borrowings approximate fair value due to either the short-term maturity of these instruments or the fact that the interest rate of the revolving credit borrowings is based upon current market rates.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Note 10: Product Warranties

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from its estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required.

Changes in the Company's warranty liability (included in accrued expenses) for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Six Months Ended March 31,
	Three Months Ended June 30,						Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017

Note 11: Credit Agreement

On March 4, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NIL Funding Corporation to provide a $3 million revolving line of credit for working capital purposes, which was subsequently amended and restated on two occasions as described below. The Agreement provides for a borrowing formula based upon eligible accounts receivable and is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. Borrowings under the Agreement bore interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum. The Agreement also provides for an unused commitment fee equal to .5% per annum. The Agreement includes provisions that are customarily found in similar financing agreements.

On August 18, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with NIL Funding Corporation which increased the $3 million revolving line of credit to $6 million. Under the Amended Agreement, the facility was to mature on October 2, 2018 and consisted of two credit lines of $4 million and $2 million which bore interest at rates of 6.95% per annum and 8.25% per annum, respectively. The $4 million line of credit was subject to a borrowing formula based upon eligible accounts receivable. The Amended Agreement also provided for an initial commitment fee of $60,000, which was paid at closing, as well as an unused commitment fee equal to .5% per annum. The Amended Agreement includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a specified minimum tangible net worth, as defined, and is otherwise substantially similar to the original Agreement with NIL Funding Corporation.

On April 20, 2017, the Company entered into athe Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Agreement”) with NIL Funding Corporation, under which only $2 million of the $6 million facility is subject to a borrowing formula, effectively providing the Company with $2 million of additional borrowing availability. The Second Amended Agreement also extends the maturity date of the credit facility to April 2, 2019, and reduces the Company’s minimum tangible net worth requirement, but is otherwise substantially similar to the Amended Agreement. ~~At March 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.~~ As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended Agreement were $5.38 million.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Second Amended Agreement, NIL Funding was issued a three-year warrant to purchase 1.5 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $.40 per share. The fair value of the warrant at the date of issuance was $438,000, which is being amortized over the two-year remaining credit facility term from the date of issuance. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 and September 30, 2017, there was $~~222~~165,000 and $339,000, respectively, of deferred warrant issuance costs included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets.

At June 30, 2018, the Company was in violation of the minimum tangible net worth covenant under Section 4.9 of the Second Amended Agreement. On July 27, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended Agreement with NIL Funding Corporation, which Amendment provides that, among other things, (a) from June 12, 2018 until September 1, 2018, the minimum tangible net worth covenant contained in Section 4.9 of the Second Amended Agreement will be of no force or effect, (b) from June 12, 2018 until September 2, 2018, the Company will not be permitted to borrow any additional funds under the Second Amended Agreement, and (c) NIL Funding Corporation waives any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to Section 4.9 of the Second Amended Agreement that may have occurred prior to June 12, 2018. The Company paid NIL Funding Corporation a fee of $29,000 in connection with the Amendment.

Note 12: Going Concern and Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future and, thus, do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. However, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The Company ~~continues~~has toincurred ~~incur~~ operating losses due to depressed revenue levels and ongoing strategic investments. Since 2012, the Company has made a significant investment in the development of a completely new, and strategically critical, video management system (VMS). The initial release of this product offering was launched in January 2017, and was followed up by important system enhancements released in July 2017 and March 2018. The funding of this major development effort has contributed to the ongoing operating losses and depletion of cash reserves. ~~Although~~Cash losses over the ~~Company~~past ~~phased~~several inyears ~~material~~have ~~operating~~been ~~expense~~financed ~~reductions~~by ~~over~~credit facility borrowings, the ~~course~~sale of the ~~past~~Company’s ~~several~~two ~~years~~principal operating facilities, itongoing ~~intends~~management toof ~~continue~~working capital levels and, more recently, the Company's rights offering and related backstop funding ~~further~~discussed ~~development~~in Note 13 to the financial statements.

Accordingly, and in light of the Company's historic and continuing losses, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 13: Rights Offering and Investment Agreement

On November 7, 2017, the Company completed a rights offering of common stock to its existing shareholders, whereby it raised approximately $282,000 of gross proceeds for the issuance of 704,235 shares of its common stock pursuant to subscription commitments. On November 8, 2017, following the closing of the rights offering, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares of its common stock to NIL Funding Corporation, the Company's secured lender, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million pursuant to an Investment Agreement between the Company and NIL Funding Corporation dated as of July 27, 2017. The net proceeds from the rights offering and Investment Agreement were used by the Company to pay down interest bearing borrowings under its Credit Agreement.

Note 14: Related Party Transactions

On August 8, 2018, the Company entered into a Research and Development Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cemtrex, Inc. ("Cemtrex") to provide the Company with outsourced software development services. The Company is transitioning its principal Israeli based software development activities to Cemtrex’s India based services group, which has now assumed principal software coding and test responsibilities for the Company. The outsourcing of these activities is expected to materially reduce the Company’s software development costs and provide development efficiencies, which should help expedite its software roadmap. The terms of the Agreement, among other things, set forth the scope of services, consideration, developed technology ownership, non-disclosure and safeguard of the Company’s software code. Pursuant to an informal agreement, $122,559 of fees were billed by Cemtrex to the Company during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 in connection with the transition of software development activities.

Cemtrex beneficially owns 46% of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer of Cemtrex serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the principal shareholder of Cemtrex, who serves as a director of Cemtrex, also serves as a director of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, product warranties, inventories, long lived ~~and intangible~~ assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors including general market conditions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Results for the periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected in future periods.

Overview

The Company designs and markets video management systems and system components for use in security, surveillance, safety and communication applications by a broad group of end users worldwide. The Company’s product line consists of various elements of a video system, including DVR's, NVR's, video encoders, decoders, servers and related video management software, data storage units, analog, digital and HD megapixel fixed and robotic cameras, virtual and analog matrix video switchers and controls, and system peripherals.

The Company sells video surveillance system components in a highly competitive worldwide marketplace principally to authorized security distributors, dealers and system integrators. Such dealers and integrators typically resell and install the Company’s products directly to end users, among other services. The Company’s sales are principally project based and are largely dependent upon winning projects, construction activities and the timing of funding. Sales will vary from period to period depending upon many factors including seasonal and geographic trends in construction activities and the timing of deliveries due to changes in project schedules and funding. The Company usually does not have a large backlog as its customer orders are typically deliverable within three months or often upon receipt of order.

The Company competes in a market of rapid technology shifts which enhance the performance capability of security systems. As a result, the Company spends a significant amount on new product development. In fiscal 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $4.8 million and $5.2 million of engineering and development expense or 18% and 15% of net sales, respectively. The Company’s expenditures for product development are substantially less than its major competitors. ~~The ongoing market shift to intelligent software solutions will continue to burden the Company’s development resources and increase ongoing annual expense for product development.~~ Further, the Company’s sales effort requires a high level of customer service and technical support for its products. The Company routinely considers various strategic options that may augment or supplement its present product offerings and technology platforms.

The Company has a foreign sales and distribution subsidiary in Europe that conducts certain of its business in British pounds and Euros that represented approximately 18% of the Company’s consolidated sales for fiscal 2017. It also has an Israel based engineering and development subsidiary that incurs a majority of its operating expenses in Shekels that represented approximately ~~23% of the Company’s operating expenses for fiscal 2017. Changes in these local foreign currency exchange rates will have a direct impact on the Company's reported financial position and results.~~

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared with March 31, 2017

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased by $1.3 million (22%) to $7.3 million compared with $6.0 million in the year ago period. Sales in the Americas increased $1.0 million (23%) to $5.7 million compared with $4.6 million in the year ago period, while Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) sales increased $262,000 (19%) to $1.6 million compared with $1.4 million in the year ago period. Order intake for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased by $246,000 (4%) to $7.1 million compared with $6.8 million in the year ago period. Americas order intake decreased by $91,000 (2%) to $5.5 million compared with $5.6 million in the year ago period, while EMEA order intake increased $337,000 (26%) to $1.6 million compared with $1.3 million in the year ago period. The backlog of unfilled orders was $2.1 million at March 31, 2018 compared with $2.2 million at September 30, 2017. The Company continues to invest in the promotion of its new Valerus video management system platform and new camera line offering, which is expected to ultimately improve the Company's market competitiveness.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $208,000 to $4.3 million compared with $4.1 million for the year ago period. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the current quarter increased $352,000 to $3.2 million compared with $2.8 million in the year ago period due principally to additional sales and marketing costs in the U.S. for new product line promotion and ongoing market channel rebuilding efforts. Engineering and development expenses decreased $144,000 to $1.1 million for the current quarter compared with $1.3 million for the year ago period as the Company eliminated certain redundant development costs.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $1.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with an operating loss of $1.8 million for the year ago period.

Interest expense increased to $152,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with $59,000 in the year ago period as a result of increased borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement and non-cash amortization charges relating to warrants granted to the Company's lender in April 2017.

The Company provides for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future realization and, thus, no tax benefit has been recognized on reported pretax losses for both periods (see Note 8: Income Taxes).

As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss of $1.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with a net loss of $1.9 million for the year ago period.

The initial release of this product offering was launched in January 2017, and was followed up by important system enhancements released in July 2017 and March 2018. The funding of this major development effort has contributed to the ongoing operating losses and depletion of cash reserves. ~~Although~~Cash losses over the ~~Company~~past ~~phased~~several inyears ~~material~~have ~~operating~~been ~~expense~~financed ~~reductions~~by ~~over~~credit facility borrowings, the ~~course~~sale of the ~~past~~Company’s ~~several~~two ~~years~~principal operating facilities, itongoing ~~intends~~management toof ~~continue~~working capital levels and, more recently, the Company's rights offering and related backstop funding ~~further~~discussed ~~development~~in Note 13 to the financial statements. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company launched a series of ~~its~~restructuring ~~new~~initiatives, ~~VMS~~which ~~platform~~management ~~and~~expects will ~~incur~~substantially ~~increasing sales~~reduce operating expenses and ~~marketing~~help ~~costs~~improve operating efficiencies.

At ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, the Company had $12.54 million of cash reserves and ~~$700,000~~was in violation of ~~maximum~~a ~~borrowings~~financial ~~available~~covenant under its ~~Credit~~credit ~~Agreement~~agreement.

The Company currently expects to ~~continue to~~ draw on its ~~credit~~cash ~~facility~~reserves to ~~the extent available to~~ finance its near term working capital needs while it implements its operating cost restructuring initiatives.

In November 2017, the Company received approximately $3.1 million of net cash proceeds from the sale of its common stock upon the closing of a rights offering and the related $3 million backstop commitment provided by NIL Funding Corporation, the Company’s secured lender. Notwithstanding ~~the~~ongoing ~~cash~~restructuring ~~infusion~~plans, the Company will likely require additional financing over the next twelve months to implement its planned business objectives and strategies. Accordingly, and in light of the Company's historic and continuing losses, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its September 30, 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is generally recognized when products are sold and title is passed to the customer. Advance service billings are deferred and recognized as revenues on a pro rata basis over the term of the service agreement. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-25-05, the Company evaluates multiple-element revenue arrangements for separate units of accounting, and follows appropriate revenue recognition policies for each separate unit. Elements are considered separate units of accounting provided that (i) the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer, (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item, and (iii) if a general right of return exists relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially within the control of the Company. As applied to the Company, under arrangements involving the sale of product and the provision of services, product sales are recognized as revenue when the products are sold and title is passed to the customer, and service revenue is recognized as services are performed.

Table of Contents

For products that include software and for separate licenses of the Company’s software products, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 provides revenue recognition guidance for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable in the arrangement based on the fair value of the elements. The fair value for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. BESP must be determined in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the specific elements on a standalone basis.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence and slow moving inventory equal to the difference between the carrying cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Technology changes and market conditions may render some of the Company’s products obsolete and additional inventory write-downs may be required. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

The Company evaluates the establishment of technological feasibility of its software in accordance with ASC 985 ("Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed"). The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its new products is reached shortly before products are released for field testing. Costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established have not been material and are expensed as incurred.

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived ~~and intangible~~ assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of such assets based upon the expectations of undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount.

The Company's ability to recover the reported amounts of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the periods over which net temporary tax differences become deductible. The Company provides for a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future realization. The Company plans to provide a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets until such time that it can achieve a sustained level of profitability or other positive evidence arises that would demonstrate an ability to recover such assets.

The Company accrues liabilities for identified tax contingencies that result from positions that are being challenged or could be challenged by tax authorities. The Company believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open years, based on Management’s assessment of many factors, including its interpretations of the tax law and judgments about potential actions by tax authorities. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of any tax audit may be materially greater or lower than the amount accrued.

The Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to labor, product and other matters. The Company assesses the likelihood of an adverse judgment or outcomes for these matters, as well as the range of potential losses. A determination of the reserves required, if any, is made after careful analysis. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Company identified a material weakness in controls over the approval of certain related party transactions which occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. In response, the Company has established new procedures regarding the identification, approval and monitoring of specific related party transactions and plans to formalize its related party transaction policy.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
