CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Reclassification


Certain amounts in the 2016 balance sheet have been reclassified from notes payable related parties - current to notes payable related parties - long-term to conform to the 2017 presentation. This reclassification caused notes payable related parties – long-term in 2016 to be increased by $48,231 and notes payable related parties – current to be decreased by the same amount.


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, duostech and TrueVue 360, Inc (in-active). 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation of intangible and other long-lived assets, estimates of percentage completion on projects and related revenues, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivatives, 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, 2017.


Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk


Major Customers and Accounts Receivable


The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:


For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, three customers accounted for 25%, 19% and 19% of revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, five customers accounted for 31%, 20%, 16%, 16% and 11% of revenues.


At September 30, 2017, two customers accounted for 53% and 12% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2016, three customers accounted for 50%, 26% and 14% of accounts receivable.

 

Geographic Concentration


Approximately 4.5% of revenue is generated from a customer outside of the United States.

Derivative Instruments


ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the purpose of the derivatives and whether they qualify and have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. The Company uses a Monte Carlo based simulation model to compute the fair value of its embedded derivative instruments. Some of the more significant inputs to our fair value model that, if changed, might produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative liabilities include the expected volatility, expected term and the stock price on the valuation date.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements


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


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


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


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


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


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


Earnings (Loss) Per Share


Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stock 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, convertible preferred stock or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2017, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 526,947 shares of common stock; at September 30, 2017, 50,743 shares issuable upon conversion of Series A preferred stock 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.

Recent Issued Accounting Standards


ASU 2017-01


In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01: "Business Combinations (Topic 805)”- to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


ASU 2017-04


In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04: "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)” - to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


ASU 2017-05


In February 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-05: "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)” - to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets”, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


ASU 2017-08


In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08: “Receivables – Non-Refundable fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20)” to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The Board is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. 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.


ASU 2016-15


In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance on the classification of the following items: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investments, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-15 for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02


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 is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.


ASU 2014-09


In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Since the issuance of the original standard, the FASB has issued several updates to the standard which i) clarify the application of the principal versus agent guidance; ii) clarify the guidance relating to performance obligations and licensing; iii) clarify assessment of the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes, measurement date for non-cash consideration and completed contracts at transaction; and iv) clarify narrow aspects of ASC 606 or corrects unintended application of the guidance. The new revenue recognition standard, amended by the updates, becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively using one of two prescribed methods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 and does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the amount or timing of its revenues.


NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN 


As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $3,737,959 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $1,046,108. The working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2017 were $7,577,344, $9,238,906 and $27,274,428. In addition, the Company is in technical default on several promissory notes although the lenders in each case are working with the company to resolve the defaults (see Note 3). Management believes that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date this report is issued.


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 implement a growth strategy for its business in all the markets where they have previously operated.


On December 20, 2016, the Company signed a Securities Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,500,000 of which $575,000 was remitted by the investor upon signing. The Company was able to draw further amounts upon achieving certain milestones related to a planned registered raise of at least $10M. At September 30, 2017, the Company has achieved the scheduled milestones and received the second through tenth draws on January 25, 2017, February 8, 2017, February 27, 2017, March 6, 2017, March 14, 2017, April 25, 2017, June 1, 2017, June 27, 2017 and August 22, 2017 in the amounts of $150,000, $100,000, $250,000, $150,000, $250,000, $75,000, $100,000, $100,000 and $250,000 respectively.


The Company was also in the process of pursuing a public offering (“Initial Offering”) of its securities to raise sufficient capital, expected to be between $11 million and $15 million, to fund the Company’s working capital deficit, provide sufficient funding to further the Company’s growth objectives and qualify to be listed on a national stock exchange. On August 16, 2017, the Company withdrew its registration statement for the public offering.

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 May 28, 2008, a shareholder who is indirectly invested in the Company with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) through another entity, loaned the Company the sum of $65,000 accruing interest at 9% per annum. There was an accrued interest balance of $53,618 and $49,231 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The note was repayable on or before September 15, 2008 although no demand for repayment has been received from the holder. There is no formal written agreement and the terms are documented on a letter from a former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Company. The terms contain no default clauses and as of the time of this report, no demand for repayment has been made or expected. The Company intends to either negotiate a conversion to common stock or to repay the loan when sufficient working capital permits such action.

 

Upon the consummation of the merger on April 1, 2015, the Company assumed an Original Issue Discount (OID) promissory note with a remaining principal balance of $15,000 accruing interest at 18% per annum. On November 30, 2015, there was an outstanding principal balance of $15,000 and an accrued interest balance of $2,651 in which the promissory note was restructured into a note due on or before December 15, 2016 for a total of $17,651 principal balance, accruing interest at 8% per annum and monthly payments of $1,535 commencing January 15, 2016.

On September 30, 2015, the note and accrued interest for a total of $275,660 was exchanged for 1,002,401 common shares. The Company recorded a loss on settlement in the amount of $115,139. The same lender had extended further credit to the Company’s TrueVue360 subsidiary which on September 30, 2015 had a principal balance of $28,040 and accrued interest balance of $9,777 totaling $37,817. The note can be extended each time for a further 30 days on payment of a 1% extension fee in addition to the 1.5% interest cost which can be accrued. The Company agreed to convert this note to an 18-month term loan with 0% interest and monthly payments of $2,100 starting November 1, 2015. The Company also issued 14,321 five-year warrants with a strike price of $9.80 as consideration for the conversion of the larger note and the zero-interest feature of the extended payment plan. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance was zero and $10,504, respectively.

Upon the consummation of the merger on April 1, 2015, the Company assumed a convertible promissory note of $50,000 due to a vendor of the Company which included a premium of $50,000 relating to its treatment as stock settled debt under ASC 480. The $50,000 convertible note accrues interest at 1% per month and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a 50% discount to the average closing bid prices for the company’s common stock for the five days immediately preceding the conversion date. An interest payment was made on January 11, 2016 in the amount of $3,230. The outstanding note balance at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $50,000 and $50,000, respectively and accrued interest on December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $7,511 and $4,723, respectively. As previously disclosed, on May 23, 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit against, the holder of this note and another convertible note described below. 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. On January 19, 2017, the Company executed a settlement agreement with this vendor resolving the pending lawsuit concerning the two convertible notes. The settlement calls for payment of $150,000 due within 45 days of execution thereof and resolves all outstanding obligations. Payment was made on March 7, 2017 and a gain on settlement of $64,647 was recorded by the Company.


Upon the consummation of the merger on April 1, 2015, the Company assumed a promissory note with a remaining principal balance of $44,325 bearing interest at 1.5% per month. The note holder gave 30-day notice to the Company on May 1, 2015 for the note to be repaid in full plus any interest due. On June 30, 2015, an Addendum to Promissory Note was executed 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 each of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding balance on the note was $93,950 which includes the $46,975 premium and there was accrued interest on December 31, 2016 and 2015 of $12,682 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. On January 19, 2017, the Company executed a settlement agreement with this vendor resolving the pending lawsuit concerning the two convertible notes. The settlement calls for payment of $150,000 due within 45 days of execution thereof and resolves all outstanding obligations. Payment was made on March 7, 2017.

Note 1


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 transaction on April 1, 2016.


The transaction 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 71,249 shares of common stock exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $12.25 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. The amendment included (a) postponement of payment of the cash fee of $5,000 to 15 days after 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 5,715 shares at an exercise price of $14 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, which was previously accrued as of December 31, 2015, 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 $192,000 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. As discussed above, the Company also issued 5,715 three-year warrants with an exercise price of $14 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.

The Company strongly believed that FacilityTeam did not deliver the products promised and felt that we would prevail in arbitration called for by the contract between the parties. Ultimately, the Company opted to settle the matter for the cost of the litigation which was estimated be at least $60,000; rather than spend further resources on defending the claim and pursuing the counterclaim against FacilityTeam. The Company agreed to pay to FacilityTeam $2,500 per month starting October 1, 2015 for 24 months and taking a charge in the third quarter of 2015 for the settlement amount of $60,000. On December 12, 2016, the Company was notified that it was in breach of settlement with a previous vendor, FacilityTeam based in in Ontario, Canada alleging failure to make payments against that settlement. On December 28, 2016, the Company subsequently agreed to a modified payment schedule as part of a post judgement settlement for the amounts still outstanding. The final payment of $5,000 was made on March 7, 2017.


On May 12, 2016, in Broward County, Florida, the holder of two convertible notes entered into in March and June 2015 in the amount of $50,000 and $46,975 respectively sued the company alleging that the Company was in default for not making scheduled principal and interest payment and failing to convert a portion of the notes into the Company’s common stock. As previously reported, on May 23, 2016, we filed a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida against, Greentree Financial Group, Inc., the holder of $96,975 aggregate principal amount of our convertible notes. 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 its offer was rejected. On January 23, 2017, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Greentree Financial Group resolving a pending lawsuit concerning these two convertible notes. The settlement called for payment of $150,000 within 45 days of execution thereof and resolves all outstanding obligations related to the Notes. The payment was made on March 7, 2017.


Delinquent Payroll Taxes Payable


As reported previously, the Company has a delinquent payroll tax payable at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in the amount of $1,149,189 and $400,076, respectively. The delinquent portion is included in the payroll taxes payable balance of $1,178,666 and $444,476, respectively, as shown on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The IRS has accepted the Company’s offer of a monthly installment agreement in the amount of $25,000 commencing March 28, 2016. The monthly installment payments made as of September 30, 2017 totals $250,000.


NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTIES


Letter Agreements


On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Gianni Arcaini, the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company (the “Arcaini Letter Agreement”), whereby Mr. Arcaini agreed to convert all deferred compensation owed to him under his Employment Agreement (“Arcaini Debt Obligation”) into common stock of the Company, contingent upon the completion of the Initial Offering. The aggregate amount of $700,543 (“Arcaini Obligation”) will be owed to Mr. Arcaini under the Arcaini Debt Obligation including interest through June 30, 2017. Pursuant to the Arcaini Letter Agreement, the Arcaini Debt Obligation will automatically convert upon consummation of the Initial Offering into such number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock calculated by dividing the Arcaini Debt Obligation by $5.00 or 140,109 shares. The Company anticipates amending the Arcaini Letter Agreement to issue Mr. Arcaini 140,109 warrants upon the consummation of the Initial Offering. Mr. Arcaini has agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement prohibiting the sale or other transfer of all securities of the Company owned by him for a period of 6 months.

The Company calculated the estimated fair values of the liabilities for warrant derivative instruments at March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017 and at the warrant issuance dates of January 25, 2017 through August 22, 2017 with the Black Scholes Pricing Model (“BSM”) option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulations using the closing prices of the Company’s common stock of from $1.05 to $8.75 and the ranges for volatility, expected term and risk-free interest indicated below that follows (BSM inputs only). The Monte Carlo simulations were used to determine a range of expected volatilities and the implied volatility used was determined with a correlation to the highest probability results from that simulation.  Thus, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a gain from the change in derivative liability of $1,901,219 included in the statement of operations under Other Income (Expense), Warrant Derivative Gain related to these warrant derivative instruments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.


This Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.


Overview


Duos Technologies Group Inc. was incorporated in Florida on May 31, 1994 (the “Company”) under the original name of Information Systems Associates (“ISA”). Initially, our business operations consisted of consulting services for asset management of large corporate data centers and development and licensing of Information Technology (IT) asset management software. In late 2014, ISA entered negotiations with Duos Technologies, Inc. (“DTI”), for the purposes of executing a reverse triangular merger. This transaction was completed on April 1, 2015. DTI was incorporated under the laws of Florida on November 30, 1990 for design, development and deployment of proprietary technology applications and turn-key engineered systems. The Company, based in Jacksonville, Florida, employs approximately 35 people and is a technology company with a strong portfolio of intellectual property, with core competencies that include advanced intelligent technologies that are delivered through its proprietary integrated enterprise command and control platform.


The Company through its operating subsidiary DTI is primarily engaged in the design and deployment of state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence driven intelligent technologies systems. The Company converges traditional security measures with information technologies to create “actionable intelligence.”


The Company’s strategy includes continued expansion of its technology base through organic development efforts, strategic partnerships, and growth through strategic acquisitions. The Company’s primary target industry sectors include transportation, with emphasis on freight and transit railroad owners/operators, petro-chemical, utilities and healthcare. Our strategy for the next 12 months is to continue to pursue the key target markets described herein and expand the offerings within those markets as available capital allows.


Specifically, based upon a successful capital raise, the Company intends to undertake to invest in sales and marketing resources to broaden its reach into the target markets, evaluate key requirements within those markets and add development resources to allow us to compete for additional projects thereby driving revenue growth. In addition, the 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.

Prospects and Outlook


Over the past several years, we have made substantial investments 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.


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.

Revenues


Revenues were $1,045,735 and $1,367,169 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The comparative 24% decrease in revenue during 2017 was largely the result of the decrease in project revenue of 11% and an offset with an increase of 27% in the IT asset management services. The revenue decrease in projects is a result of an ongoing transition to new offerings including intelligent analytics and machine learning from our traditional legacy security centric offerings. The company continues to be undercapitalized with respect to growing the new businesses, but continues to make progress with the limited available funds. These factors combined with the anticipated decrease in maintenance and technical support as the business shifts its focus from legacy security products to advanced intelligence offerings, including the 48% decrease in maintenance and technical support. This was all from one legacy customer who did not renew their contract at the end of 2016, along with an annual credit of $70,000 for one customer. The revenue from this line item will be replaced over the next reporting periods with an anticipated increase in consulting services for the rail business and recurring maintenance revenues from new projects after the initial maintenance free period.


Cost of Revenues


Costs of revenues were $658,391 and $645,155 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in 2017 cost of the project implementation was related to decreased project revenue. Other increases in costs of revenues are generally in line with the increase in revenue in these categories with IT asset management services showing a slight improvement most related to economies of scale. It should be noted that the decrease in 2017 cost of the maintenance and technical support is due to the budgeted decrease in revenue. Additionally, we have two projects that are budgeted under the normal 50% margin, reducing the overall gross profit. These projects are related to initial implementations of new technology where costs were higher overall. However, upon rollout of additional systems, margins are expected to be within the normal historical range.



24



 


Gross Profit


Gross Profit was $387,344 and $722,014 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was mainly the result of the decrease in project revenues and two projects with budgeted lower than normal profit margins (see above). This decrease was partially offset by lower costs overall in the project costs as well as maintenance and technical support with also an offset with better than anticipated performance in the IT asset management areas.


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1,174,864 and $1,151,607 respectively, an increase of $23,257. This increase in expenses was mainly due to an increase in contract labor, professional expenses and general and administration of $64,573. However, this increase was offset by a decrease of $35,012 in selling and marketing expenses and $6,304 in research and development expenses. The increase in operating expenses are largely the result of ongoing funding activities and are one time in nature.


Loss Before Other Income (Expense)


The loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $787,520 and $429,593, respectively. The increase in loss from operations was mostly due to the overall decrease in revenue for the period and increase in cost of revenues affecting the overall gross profit. The lower than normal gross profit will continue into the fourth quarter of 2017.


Interest Expense


Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1,525,894 and $161,515 respectively. The increase in interest expense was almost entirely due to non-cash charges in connection with debt discount and warrant amortization expense for bridge financing entered into in late 2016.


Warrant Derivative Gain


Warrant derivative gain for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2,188,546 and zero, respectively. The gain recorded in the third quarter 2017 was primarily the result of the decrease in common stock share price that affected the evaluation for the non-cash warrant derivative expense related to the funding draws against the Company’s promissory note with JMJ Financial.


Other Income


Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was zero and $34, respectively.


Net Loss

The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $124,868 and $591,074, respectively. The $466,206 decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to the non-cash charges in 2017 of $1,457,057 in debt discount expense and $2,188,546 warrant derivative gain on debt related to bridge financing. Net loss applicable to Common Stock was $130,788 in 2017 versus $591,074 in 2016, an increase of $460,286. The loss applicable to common stock in the third quarter of 2017 reflected a charge for Preferred Stock Dividends of $5,920. Net loss per common share was $(0.07) and $(0.31) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Revenues


Revenues were $3,243,969 and $4,018,555 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The comparative 19% decrease in revenue during 2017 was largely the result of the decrease in project revenue and the anticipated decrease in maintenance and technical support as the business shifts its focus from legacy security products to advanced intelligence offerings. The IT asset management business continued to show strength in the nine months with a 70% increase in revenues compared with the previous same period a year ago. The 50% decrease in maintenance and technical support was all from one legacy customer who did not renew their contract at the end of 2016. The revenue from this line item will be replaced over the next reporting periods with an anticipated increase in consulting services for the rail business and recurring maintenance revenues from new projects after the initial maintenance free period.


Cost of Revenues


Costs of revenues were $1,875,280 and $1,803,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in 2017 cost of the project implementation was related to increased costs for implementation of one international project with unanticipated additional travel and other expenses related to this specific project, alone with two new projects with budgeted lower than normal profit margins. Other increases in costs of revenues are generally in line with the increase in revenue in these categories with IT asset management services showing a slight improvement most related to economies of scale. It should be noted that the decrease in 2017 cost of the maintenance and technical support is due to the budgeted decrease in revenue.


Gross Profit


Gross Profit was $1,368,689 and $2,215,032 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The overall decrease resulted primarily in the first and third quarters 2017 from an isolated decline in margins in the project business for reasons described previously. This decrease during the first quarter 2017 is expected to be one-time in nature and that the overall year will be in line with previous gross profit performance. The decrease in gross profit was offset by lower costs overall in the maintenance and technical support with further offset in the increase in IT asset management areas but still resulted in a reduction of 38% in overall gross margin compared to the comparative quarter in 2016. Despite more aggressive pricing in the award of a large contract that makes up much of the revenue in that business line, unanticipated expenses related to initial implementation of a new product reduced the overall gross margins compared to the previous equivalent quarter. These cost overruns are expected to be a one-time event and that gross margin percentage are anticipated to be in line with previous years going forward.




26



 


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $3,792,617 and $3,865,000 respectively, a decrease of $72,383. This decrease in expenses was mainly due to a decrease in contract labor and selling and marketing expenses of $305,274. However, this decrease was offset by an increase of $232,891 because of additional professional fees and general and administration expenses related to operating as a public company, expenses related to our corporate actions including a planned up-listing to a national exchange and additional spending on resources for the research and development department by the Company.


Loss Before Other Income (Expense)


The loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $2,423,928 and $1,649,968, respectively. The increase in loss from operations in the amount of $773,960 was due to the decrease in gross profit of $846,343 and with an offset in less operating expenses of $72,383.


Interest Expense


Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $3,279,898 and $443,929 respectively. The increase in interest expense was almost entirely due to non-cash charges in connection with debt discount and warrant amortization expense for bridge financing entered into in late 2016.


Warrant Derivative Gain


Warrant derivative gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1,901,219 and zero, respectively. The gain recorded in the third quarter 2017 was primarily the result of the decrease in common stock share price that affected the evaluation for the non-cash warrant derivative expense related to the funding draws against the Company’s promissory note with JMJ Financial.


Other Income


Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $1 and 1,339, respectively.


Net Loss

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $3,737,959 and $2,092,558, respectively. The $1,645,401 increase in net loss is primarily attributable to the non-cash charges in 2017 of $3,064,086 in debt discount expense offset with a warrant derivative gain of $1,901,219 on debt related to bridge financing. Net loss applicable to Common Stock was $3,755,719 in 2017 versus $2,092,558 in 2016, an increase of $1,663,161. The loss applicable to common stock in 2017 reflected a charge for Preferred Stock Dividends of $17,760. Net loss per common share was $(1.98) and $(1.11) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1,046,108 and $1,518,348, respectively. The decrease in cash flows used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due primarily to the non-cash warrant derivative gain offset with debt discount expense related to the promissory note with JMJ Financial with an offset of $1,517,112 positive variance in changes in assets and liabilities.


Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $22,549 and $32,481, respectively representing minimum investments in certain assets during 2017 and 2016.


Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $894,531 and $1,480,267, respectively. Cash flows from financing activities during 2017 were primarily attributable to proceeds from the draws on notes payable, partially offset by repayments of existing notes and short-term credit facilities. Cash flows from financing activities during 2016 were primarily attributable to proceeds from the draws on notes payable, partially offset by repayments of existing notes and short-term credit facilities.

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of our equity (or equity linked) and debt securities. As of November 15, 2017, we had cash on hand of approximately $93,000. We have approximately $131,000 in monthly lease and other mandatory payments, not including payroll and ordinary expenses which are due monthly.


Reverse Split


Effective April 26, 2017, the Company filed an Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”) to effectuate a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at an exchange ratio of 1-for-35 (the “Reverse Split”). As a result of the Reverse Split, every thirty-five (35) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one (1) share of issued and outstanding common stock. The number of authorized shares remained unchanged. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. It is not necessary for stockholders to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts are not required to take any action to exchange their shares.


The Reverse Split was implemented by the Company in connection with an application filed to up-list the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). The Reverse Split is intended to fulfill the stock price requirements for listing on NASDAQ since the requirements include, among other things, that the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing price per share of $4.00 or higher for 30 of the most recent 60 trading days. There is no assurance that the Company’s application to up-list the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ will be approved.


On April 28, 2017, the Company received notice from Financial Industry Regulatory Authority that the Reverse Split was approved and took effect at the opening of trading on May 22, 2017.


The Reverse Split has no impact on shareholders’ proportionate equity interests or voting rights in the Company or the par value of the Company’s common stock, which remains unchanged.


The above description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2017.


JMJ Financing Transaction

The loan agreement contemplates a series of corporate actions leading to the Company raising at least $10 million in the Initial Offering. The loan is payable on the earlier of May 15, 2017 or the third business day after the closing of the Public Pursuant to the Note, the lender is obligated to provide the Company an additional $750,000 advance under the Note in tranches, as certain milestones, contained within the Note, are achieved. The lender may make further advances of up to $825,000 ($625,000 after deduction for original issue discounts for the entire $2.5M note) under the Note, in such amounts and at such times as the Parties may agree. The Company has drawn $1,275,000 during the first three quarters of 2017 after achieving scheduled milestones against the $1,225,000 available amount as of September 30, 2017 including $150,000 related to favorable settlement on an existing debt obligation that was in default. Although the note is not convertible per se, if the Company fails to repay the balance due under the Note when due, the lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Note into shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note. All amounts due under the Note become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default as set forth in the Note.

Letter Agreement for Conversion of Promissory Notes


On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into letter agreements (together the “Note Holder Letter Agreements”) with six investors (collectively, the “Note Holders”) holding promissory notes (collectively the “Notes”) whereby the Note Holders agreed to convert all monies due to them under the Notes into restricted shares of common stock (the “Note Conversion Shares”), all contingent upon the completion of the Company’s anticipated Initial Offering of its securities to raise up to $12,500,000 and list its securities on the NASDAQ (the “Initial Offering”). Subsequent to the withdrawal of the Company’s registration statement, five of the noteholders withdrew their offers to convert. The remaining noteholder will convert upon the closing of a financing in the amount of at least $11 million.

As of the date hereof, the Company has made no further interest payments on the note. On May 12, 2017, the Company and GPB entered into a Forbearance Agreement.


Because of the growing nature of the business, we project that we will need additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. We anticipate we will need an additional $3,000,000 for the year of 2017.


On a long-term basis, our liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, and additional infusions of capital. Our current capital and revenues are insufficient to fund such expansion. If we choose to launch such an expansion campaign, we will require substantially more capital. The funds raised from any future offering will also be used to market our products and services as well as contribute to existing working capital needs.


Demand for the products and services will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of our products and services, the technology market in general, and general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature. In as much as a major portion of our activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of our products and services, our business operations may be adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recession periods.


Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a goingManagement is unable to predict if and when we will be able to generate positive cash flow. Our plan regarding these matters is to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to allow us the ability to cover our current cash flow requirements and meet our obligations as they become due. There can be no assurances that financing will be available or if available, that such financing will be available under favorable terms. If we are unable to generate adequate revenues to cover expenses and cannot obtain additional financing soon, we may seek protection under bankruptcy laws.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


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


Critical Account Policies


We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.


Revenue Recognition and Contract Accounting


The Company generates revenue from three sources: (1) Project Revenue; (2) Maintenance and Technical Support and (3) IT Asset Management (consulting and auditing).




31



 


Project Revenue


The Company constructs intelligent technology systems consisting of materials and labor under customer contracts. Revenues and related costs on project revenue are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, “Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and other allocable indirect costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”. Any billings of customers in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined.

 

A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer.


The Company has contracts in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Costs estimates are reviewed periodically on a contract-by-contract basis throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to the profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period. Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available.


Maintenance and Technical Support


Maintenance and technical support services are provided on both an as-needed and extended-term basis and may include providing both parts and labor. Maintenance and technical support provided outside of a maintenance contract are on an as-requested basis, and revenue is recognized as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized ratably over the term of the contract.


For sales arrangements that do not involve multiple elements such as professional services, which are of short-term duration, revenues are recognized when services are completed.


IT Asset Management Services


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


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


For sales arrangements that do not involve multiple elements: 


(1)

Revenues for professional services, which are of short-term duration, are recognized when services are completed;

(2)

For all periods reflected in this report, software license sales have been one-time sales of a perpetual license to use our software product and the customer also has the option to purchase third party manufactured handheld devices from us if they purchase our software license. Accordingly, the revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software and delivery of the hardware, as applicable, to the customer;

(3)

Training sales are one-time upfront short-term training sessions and are recognized after the service has been performed; and

(4)

Maintenance/support is an optional product sold to our software license customers under one-year contracts. Accordingly, maintenance payments received upfront are deferred and recognized over the contract term.




32



 


Multiple Elements


Arrangements with customers may involve multiple elements including project revenue and maintenance services in our Intelligent Technology Systems business. Maintenance will occur after the project is completed and may be provided on an extended-term basis or on an as-needed basis. In our IT Asset Management business, multiple elements may include any of the above four sources. Training and maintenance on software products may occur after the software product sale while other services may occur before or after the software product sale and may not relate to the software product. Revenue recognition for multiple element arrangement is as follows:


Each element is accounted for separately when each element has value to the customer on a standalone basis and there is Company specific objective evidence of selling price of each deliverable. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative selling prices as determined by the price of the items when sold separately. Once the selling price is allocated, the revenue for each element is recognized using the applicable criteria under GAAP as discussed above for elements sold in non-multiple element arrangements. A delivered item or items that do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting within the arrangement are combined with the other applicable undelivered items within the arrangement. The allocation of arrangement consideration and the recognition of revenue is then determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. The Company sells its various services and software and hardware products at established prices on a standalone basis which provides Company specific objective evidence of selling price for purposes of multiple element relative selling price allocation. The Company only sells maintenance services or spare parts based on its established rates after it has completed a system integration project for a customer. The customer is not required to purchase maintenance services. All elements in multiple element arrangements with Company customers qualify as separate units of account for revenue recognition purposes. 

 

Deferred Revenue


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

 

Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining the collections on the account, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances. The Company reviews its accounts to estimate losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers.

 

Share-Based Compensation


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

 

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

 



33



 


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 unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance on accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, valuation of intangible and other long-lived assets, estimates of percentage completion on projects and related revenues, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of derivatives, 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.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

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

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings.


From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.


Greentree Financial Group, Inc. Lawsuit


On May 12, 2016, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward Country, Florida (the “Circuit Court”) by Greentree Financial Group, Inc. as plaintiff (“Greentree”). Greentree, the holder of two convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $50,000 and $46,975 (the “Notes”), alleged that the Company was in default for failure to make scheduled principal and interest payments and failing to convert a portion of the Notes into the Company’s common stock. On May 23, 2016, we filed a counterclaim in the Circuit Court against Greentree alleging, amongst other claims, that the officers and directors of Greentree failed to disclose certain facts with respect to their past conduct, which, had the Company known, would have made it unlikely that the Company would have entered into the debt financing transaction issuing the Notes. On January 23, 2017, the Company executed a settlement agreement with Greentree resolving the pending lawsuit with respect to the Notes (the “Settlement Agreement”). The terms of the Settlement Agreement include payment by the Company to Greentree in the amount of $150,000 due within 45 days of execution thereof and resolves all outstanding obligations related to the Notes (the “Payment”). The Payment was made by the Company to Greentree on March 7, 2017. On March 24, 2017, the Company received an Agreed Final Order of Dismissal from the Court dismissing the Greentree Matter with prejudice.


FacilityTeam Lawsuit


On December 12, 2016, the Company was notified that it was in breach of settlement with a previous vendor, FacilityTeam based in in Ontario, Canada alleging failure to make certain payments in accordance with such settlement. On December 28, 2016, the Company agreed to a modified payment schedule as part of a post judgement settlement for the amounts due and owing. On March 7, 2017, the final settlement payment was made by the Company to FacilityTeam.


Dispute with Former Employee


On or about February 15, 2017, the Company received a Notice of Filing of Complaint of Discrimination filed by a former employee of the Company that had been terminated for insubordination. The Company received notice in late April 2017 from the Florida Commission on Human Relations with a determination of no reasonable cause exists to believe that an unlawful practice occurred.


Except as disclosed above, we are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.

On August 22, 2017, the Company issued common stock purchase warrants to an investor in connection with a debt financing transaction (the “Financing Warrants”). The Financing Warrants are exercisable into 50,125 shares of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate exercise amount of $263,158. On the same date, the Company issued additional common stock purchase warrants to a placement agent for fees in connection with the debt financing transaction (the “Additional Financing Warrants”). The Additional Financing Warrants are exercisable into 3,997 shares of the Company’s common stock at an aggregate exercise amount of $20,894.


The preceding securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506(b) promulgated there under. The above issuances of securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “Initial Offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since they agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “Initial Offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
