In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the statements of financial condition, and revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, valuation of stock-based compensation, the useful life of property and equipment, valuation of beneficial conversion features on convertible debt, valuation of intangible assets and the assumptions used to calculate derivative liabilities.

 

Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company follows ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This statement clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the unaudited consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-21, the losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiary may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company reflected a non-controlling interest of $863 and ($2,740) in connection with our majority-owned subsidiary, DirectView Security Systems Inc. as reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’s account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

DIRECTVIEW HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 and 2016

 

  Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
  Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

 

Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there were not any cash equivalents.

 

In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and due to related parties approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes and convertible promissory notes approximates the estimated fair value for these financial instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company's debt and the interest payable on the notes approximates the Company's incremental borrowing rate.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company has a policy of reserving for questionable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company uses specific identification of accounts to reserve possible uncollectible receivables. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, management determined that an allowance was necessary which amounted to approximately $160,000 and $120,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company recognized $152 and $450 respectively of write-offs related to uncollectible accounts receivable.

 

Capitalized Job Costs

 

The Company records capitalized jobs costs on the balance sheet and expenses the costs upon completion of related jobs based on when revenue is earned per ASC 605-10 “Revenue Recognition.” As of September 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the Company had $132,135 and $0, respectively included on their balance sheets under Capitalized Job Costs.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $48,673 and $176,618 respectively.

 

Shipping costs

 

Shipping costs are included in cost of sales for VS and Apex and shipping costs are included in other selling, general and administrative expenses for DVVS and were deemed to be not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory, consisting of finished goods related to our products is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out method. The Company acquires inventory for specific installation jobs. As a result, the Company generally orders inventory only as needed for installations. Due to the anticipation of customers’ needs the Company purchased inventory items and had $86,568 and $29,953 in inventory as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-Lived Assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” . The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets over their useful lives on a straight line basis.

 

I ncome Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 740-10: Income Taxes related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. The accounting standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, 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. The Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $25,000 and $0, respectively during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Loan Costs

 

The Company has early adopted ASU 2015-3 “Interest – Imputation of Interest” - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The loan costs are recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the note payable.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company follows the guidance of the FASB ASC 605-10-S99 “Revenue Recognition Overall – SEC Materials”. The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software, and services which are delivered at varying times, the Company determines whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting. Delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items, and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in the Company’s control. Sales are recorded net of discounts and discounts are determined to be immaterial.

 

The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of the Company:

 

Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services. The Company generally does not charge up-front fees and bills its customers based on usage.

 

Revenue for video equipment sales and security surveillance equipment sales is recognized upon delivery and installation. Due to the nature of the Company’s business it is not practicable to return products therefore the Company has determined that it is not necessary to provide a provision for sales returns and allowances. The Company’s manufacturers provide the highest quality products available. If there is a defect in a product related to materials or workmanship the Company extends the manufacturer’s warranty to its customers. To date this process has never occurred. Therefore no warranty liability is recorded.

 

Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain and collectibility of the related receivable is probable.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales includes cost of products and cost of service. Product cost includes the cost of products and delivery costs. Cost of services includes labor and fuel expenses.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Almost all of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, one customer accounted for 43% of revenues.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, one customer accounted for 22% of revenues.

 

As of September 30, 2017, two customers accounted for 52% of total accounts receivable. The following is a list of percentage of accounts receivable owed by the two customers:

 

Customer 1     34 %
Customer 3     18 %
Total     52 %

Research and Development

 

Research is planned search or critical investigation aimed at discovery of new knowledge with the hope that such knowledge will be useful in developing a new product or service (hereinafter "product") or a new process or technique (hereinafter "process") or in bringing about a significant improvement to an existing product or process. Development is the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan or design for a new product or process or for a significant improvement to an existing product or process whether intended for sale or use. It includes the conceptual formulation, design, and testing of product alternatives, construction of prototypes, and operation of pilot plants. It does not include routine or periodic alterations to existing products, production lines, manufacturing processes, and other on-going operations even though those alterations may represent improvements and it does not include market research or market testing activities. Per FASB ASC 730, the Company expenses research and development cost as incurred.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to related party.

 

Net Income per Common Share

 

Net income per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net earnings per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2017 the Company had 823,477,923 share equivalents issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features. At December 31, 2016 the Company had 29,733,748 share equivalents issuable pursuant to embedded conversion features.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, except as described below.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date; however, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the statement of assets, liabilities, and members’ equity (deficit)—the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the statement of assets, liabilities, and members’ equity (deficit). The ASU on leases will take effect for all public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $32.8 million, a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $14.5 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $16.5 million. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $195,167. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issue date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. Management intends to attempt to raise funds by way of a public or private offering. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company's limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

 

    Estimated life   September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
Computer Equipment   1 year   $ 13,333     $ -  
Office Equipment   1 year     5,767       -  
Telephone System   1 year     9,729       -

Less: Accumulated depreciation         (92,811 )     (2,771 )
Leasehold Improvements   2 years     -       26,901  
Less: Accumulated amortization         -       (26,901 )
        $ 110,685     $ -  

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $92,811 and $15,156, respectively.

 

In June 2014, the Company negotiated to lease approximately 3,000 square feet of office space in New York City and made leasehold improvements totaling $12,448. In August 2015 the Company made leasehold improvements totaling $14,453. The Company began amortizing the balance on a straight-line basis for the term of 2 years commencing in July 2014 and August 2015. In September 2016 the Company moved its office to a different floor in the same building. Consequently, the Company amortized the remainder of the leasehold improvements during September 2016. The monthly rent expense remained the same. The original monthly rent was $5,000 per month which was increased to $6,460 in November 2015. In January 2017, the Company relocated and has not entered into another lease agreement.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The Company enters into financing arrangements that contain embedded derivative features due to down round (“Ratchet”) provisions or conversion formulas that cause derivative treatment. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”) as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments we generally use the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Under the terms of the new accounting standard, increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2017:

 

    Conversion feature derivative liability  
Balance at December 31, 2015   $ 3,718,242  
Initial fair value of derivative liability recorded as debt discount     772,118  
Initial fair value of derivative liability charged to other expense     348,244  
Reclass of derivative liability to additional paid in capital due to conversions     (840,039 )
Loss on change in fair value included in earnings     958,072  
Balance at December 31, 2016     4,956,637  
Initial fair value of derivative liability recorded as debt discount     161,093  
Initial fair value of derivative liability charged to other expense     306,517  
Reclass of derivative liability to additional paid in capital due to conversions     (319,995 )

Total derivative liability at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 amounted to $8,942,453 and $4,956,637, respectively. The change in fair value included in earnings of $3,838,201 is due in part to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock decreasing from $.20 at December 31, 2016 to $.0135 at September 30, 2017 coupled with substantially reduced conversion prices due to the effect of “Ratchet” provisions incorporated in convertible notes payable.

 

The Company used the following assumptions for determining the fair value of the convertible instruments granted under the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

 

    From January , 2017
to September 30, 2017
 
       
Expected volatility     283% - 455 %
Expected term     3 – 9 months  
Risk-free interest rate     0.02% - 0.09 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %

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

Overview

 

Our Company was formed in October 2006 and immediately thereafter we acquired Ralston Communication Services and Meeting Technologies from DirectView, Inc., a Nevada corporation of which Mr. and Mrs. Ralston were officers and directors immediately prior to such acquisition, in exchange for the assumption by us of these subsidiaries working capital deficiencies and any and all trade credit and other liabilities. Both of these entities had historically provided the video conferencing services we continue to provide. Thereafter, in February 2007, we formed DirectView Security Systems, Inc. (“DirectView Security”) and in July 2007 we formed DirectView Video. DirectView Security began offering services and products immediately from inception.

 

Effective April 20, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Video Surveillance Limited Liability Company, a Texas limited liability company with an assumed name of Virtual Surveillance (“VS”), Apex CCTV Limited Liability Company, a Texas limited liability company formerly known as Vaultronics (“APEX” and together with VS, the “Acquisition Companies”), and Mark D. Harris the sole member and equity owner of each of the Acquisition Companies (the “Seller”). The Company entered into the SPA to expand business operations and increase our presence. We anticipate serving more clients and increasing revenue with the addition of VS and APEX.

 

Our operations are conducted within two divisions:

 

  The vast majority of our business is derived from our security division which provides surveillance systems, digital video recording and services to businesses, organizations and law enforcement, and
     
  Our video conferencing division which is a full-service provider of teleconferencing products and services to businesses and organizations.

 

We operate our security division through DirectView Security, Virtual Surveillance, and ApexCCTV, LLC where we provide a wide array of video and audio hardware and software options to create custom security and surveillance solutions for large and small businesses as well as residential customers. The Company currently services customers in transportation, hotel and hospitality, education, cannabis, food services, and real estate industries.

 

We provide our customers with the latest technologies in surveillance systems, digital video recording and services. The systems provide onsite and remote video and audio surveillance. We generate revenue through the sale and installation of surveillance systems and the sale of maintenance agreements. We source our products from a variety of different suppliers and our product and service offerings include:

 

  DRV Recorders and Cameras   Video Intercoms
       
  NVR Recorders and IP Cameras   Laser and Video Beam Perimeter Security
       
  Motion Detection and Thermal Imagery   Security Design and Consulting
       
  Remote Control Device Management   Equipment Maintenance Service Plans
       
  Access Control Solutions    

 

We have also developed custom software programs and applications to work with the products we offer to customers to enhance their convenience and capability. We have developed a mobile application which we call the “DirectView Security App” to enable full remote management of deployed surveillance devices including positioning cameras, setting recording parameters, and replay of selected video. The DirectView Security App provides full encryption and is compatible with all Apple and Android based mobile devices. We are also in late stage development of a proprietary software platform targeted for educational institutions/daycare, aviation, and religious organizations. The platform will enable tiered database controlled access to multiple encrypted live streaming videos with audio with full scalability. The software will allow these businesses and organizations to provide parents, patrons or customers access to see to view a particular classroom, attend a religious service, or watch any activity permitted by the licensor of the software through any internet connected mobile device or computer.

 

28
 

 

We target businesses of various sizes ranging from residential to large scale businesses. Our main markets can be divided into five categories which include:

 

  -Transportation (Airport, Heliport, and Bus Terminal)
   
  -Hospitality (Hotel, Golf Course, Food Service and Bars/Restaurant)
   
  -Industrial (Warehousing and Storage, Cannabis Grow House and Dispensary, and Manufacturing)
   
  -Educational (Daycare, Private School, Learning Center/Religious Organization)
   
  -Residential (Condo/Co-op, Property Management Company, and Private Home)

 

Beginning in 2014, we focused a significant amount of our business development and marketing efforts towards the legalized cannabis industry. We see this market as a strong growth area for the Company due to our belief that the political landscape will continue to move towards the legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational use across the country. By the middle of 2013, 18 states and the District of Columbia have already allowed the production and use of marijuana for medical purposes. Two states, Colorado and Washington, also have approved cannabis for recreational use. Additionally, many large security service providers have publicly avoided servicing businesses engaged in the sale or growing of marijuana which we believe lowers the competitive landscape.

 

In addition to conducting direct sales activities to businesses operating in this market, we also focus on partnerships with other service providers in the industry that are generally involved in the design and construction of facilities to grow and dispense marijuana. We have a preferred provider agreement with Legacy Construction Company of Colorado, LLC (“Legacy”). Under the terms of the preferred provider agreement, Legacy directs their retail and marijuana facility construction clients to DirectView for video surveillance and security needs. Legacy has over fifteen years of experience and expertise in commercial general contracting with specific experience in the retail and medical marijuana industry. Legacy holds a Class A general contractors license in six states including Colorado,Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona. We also have a strategic partnership agreement with Cannamor, LLC (“Cannamor”), a privately held Colorado based consulting company focusing on legal cannabis growing and dispensing projects, where we are engaged as its exclusive security solutions provider. Under the terms of the agreement, Cannamor exclusively endorses and recommends DirectView as its vendor of choice for the planning and installation of video surveillance, video monitoring, video recording products and related services to its prospective clients. Both of these arrangements have led to sales and a number of large potential project leads within our sales pipeline. We continue to see this industry as a growing part of our security and surveillance business for the foreseeable future.

 

In an effort to further expand our market opportunities, in April 2015, we began preparations to develop a unique body-worn-camera solution to target law enforcement, business security and homeland security markets. We expect the solution to comprise of a line of body-worn-cameras integrated with a suite of communications capabilities including high capacity streaming video, Bluetooth ®, GPS, push to talk, WIFI/4G LTE, and imbedded biometric access. We are also working to integrate the video feeds with backend storage solutions for video/audio storage including playback and editing of stored evidence. We have received body-worn-camera prototypes that have been manufactured to our design specifications by a large third party manufacturer and we are currently beta testing those prototypes. We intend to have that manufacturer produce a finished product upon successful completion of product testing.

 

In order to enhance the communications capability of the solution as well as our marketing capabilities, we entered into an agreement with xG Technology, Inc. (“xG”), a developer of wireless communications and spectrum sharing technologies, to integrate our body-worn-camera device and related hardware with xG’s xMax private mobile broadband technology. The planned integration will consolidate the private, secure, high-performance communications capabilities of xMax with the features and functionality of our body-worn cameras.

 

29
 

 

We intend to offer our body-worn-cameras and the related suite of communications and storage solutions to our target customers through both direct sales and strategic partnerships with companies that sell complimentary products in the areas of law enforcement, homeland security and private security. In addition to our integration agreement with xG, we entered into a co-marketing agreement with PositiveID Corporation (“PSID”), a developer of diagnostic testing systems for use by first responders, to jointly market both companies’ products to homeland security and first responder markets. We believe that co-marketing and product integration agreements such as these will expand the breadth of our product offerings and enable us to leverage the marketing capabilities of our partners to increase sales opportunities upon product launch.

 

Our video conferencing products and services enable our clients to cost-effectively conduct remote meetings by linking participants in geographically dispersed locations. Our primary focus is to provide high value-added conferencing products and services to organizations such as commercial, government, medical and educational sectors. We generate revenue through the sale of conferencing services based upon usage, the sale and installation of video equipment and the sale of maintenance agreements.

 

Our Outlook

 

Our net sales are currently not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. We have relied upon funds from the issuance of notes, the sale of common stock and advances from our executive officers to provide working capital to our company. These funds, however, are not sufficient to pay all of our expenses nor to provide the additional capital we believe is necessary to permit us to properly market our company in an effort to increase our sales. We are always looking for opportunities with new dealers to expand our IP based surveillance products offerings and plan to evaluate the market for our products throughout 2017 to determine whether we should hire additional employees in our sales force. We seek to leverage our current customer base which includes major international hotel chains, well known real estate development companies, and respected educational facilities, to build our reputation as a trusted security provider and generate customer referrals. Beginning in 2014 we also began targeting our marketing efforts toward the cannabis industry. We see the specific security needs of this industry, representing a significant opportunity for sales growth. Each state has specific requirements for security which includes extensive video surveillance and perimeter security. Additionally, some larger security companies have been hesitant to enter this market up to this point we believe this will help reduce competitive pressures. While we believe our strategy for growth will result in an increase in demand for our products and service and generate revenues, no assurance can be provided that we will successfully implement our strategy. We are subject to significant business risks and may need to raise additional capital in order to realize and effectuate the above strategy.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

Net Sales

 

Overall, our net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased approximately 1,324% and 625% from the comparable periods in 2016. The following table provides comparative data regarding the source of our net sales in each of these periods and the change from 2017 to 2016:

 

    Three Months Ended September 30, 2017     Three Months Ended
September 30, 2016
    $     % of Total     $     % of Total     Variance  
Sale of product     1,192,548       87 %     66,662       70 %     1,689 %

Sale of product     2,276,930       83 %     283,469       75 %     703 %

Total     2,729,293       100 %     376,488       100 %     625 %

 

Sales of product for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased approximately 1,689% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is attributed to the acquisition of VS and Apex. Service revenue increased by approximately 526% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was also attributed to the acquisition of VS and Apex. Sales of product for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased approximately 700% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due the acquisition of VS and Apex. Service revenue increased by approximately 386% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due the acquisition of VS and Apex.

 

Net sales increased due to the acquisition of VS and Apex. In an effort to continue to increase our sales in future periods, we believe we need to monitor and grow the business related to the acquisition of VS and Apex along with hiring additional sales staff to initiate a telemarketing campaign and to obtain leads from various lead sources such as lead generating telemarketing lists, email marketing campaigns and other sources. However, given our lack of working capital, we cannot assure that we will ever be able to successfully implement our current business strategy or increase our revenues in future periods.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of product includes product and delivery costs relating to the sale of product revenue. Cost of services includes labor and installation for service revenue. Overall, cost of sales increased approximately 2,390% and 606% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Effective April 20, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Video Surveillance Limited Liability Company, a Texas limited liability company with an assumed name of Virtual Surveillance (“VS”), Apex CCTV Limited Liability Company, a Texas limited liability company formerly known as Vaultronics (“APEX” and together with VS, the “Acquisition Companies”), and Mark D. Harris the sole member and equity owner of each of the Acquisition Companies (the “Seller”).

 

According to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Seller transferred to the Company all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of the Acquisition Companies. The Seller shall have ten (10) days from the Effective Date to submit the Acquisition Companies’ books, records and all reasonably necessary accounting documents to the Company’s PCAOB certified auditor to perform an audit in accordance with U.S. GAAP accounting standards for the fiscal years ended 2016 and 2015 (the “Audit”). The Audit shall be completed within seventy-five (75) days of the Effective Date. Upon completion of the Audit, the Company shall have up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the Effective Date (the “Purchase Price Payment Date”) to pay the Seller in cash the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) as follows: (A) the Company shall pay in full and complete release of Seller’s guarantee and collateral relating to that certain Business Loan Agreement with an institutional lender (the “Lender”) dated April 8, 2015 and related Promissory Note with the Lender dated May 4, 2016 in the amount of approximately $1,924,358.42 (the “Outstanding Loan”), within 180 days of the Effective Date; (B) one time cash payment to Seller allocated towards the partial repayment of the principal amount of the Note (as defined herein) in an amount determined by the review of the Audit paid in accordance with the following schedule (the “Cash Payment”): (1) in the event the Average Combined Cash Flow (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.03(a) of the Purchase Agreement) of the Acquisition Companies for 2016 and 2015 exceeds $500,000 (the “Maximum Purchase “Price”), the Company shall pay the Seller cash in the amount of $500,000, (2) in the event the Average Combined Cash Flow of the Acquisition Companies for 2016 and 2015 is equal to or between $400,001 and $500,000, the Company shall pay the Seller cash in the amount of $300,000, (3) in the event the Average Combined Cash Flow of the Acquisition Companies for 2016 and 2015 is equal to or between $200,001 and $400,000, the Company shall pay the Seller cash in the amount of $100,000, and (4) in the event the Average Combined Cash Flow of the Acquisition Companies for 2016 and 2015 is equal to or between $0 and $200,000 (“Minimum Cash Flow”), the Company shall pay the Seller cash in the amount of $2,000; provided however, in the event of the Minimum Cash Flow, the Company shall have the right to transfer all of the equity interests of the Acquisition Companies to Seller and unwind the transactions under the Purchase Agreement in full within eighty-five (85) days of the Purchase Price Payment Date; (C) consideration of $150,000 shall be paid as provided under the Employment Agreement (as defined herein) which shall be allocated towards the partial repayment of the principal amount of the Note (the “Final Note Payment”). Upon delivery by the Company to Seller of the Final Note Payment, the Note held by Seller shall be forfeited and cancelled and of no further force or effect, and the Company shall have no further obligations under the Note.

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, if the Acquisition Companies are purchased from the Seller by the Company for less than the Maximum Purchase Price, upon the Acquisition Companies generating at least $500,000 in cash flow each year as calculated in accordance with schedule 2.03(a) of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall receive five percent (5%) of such cash flow up to $300,000 per year (the “Cash Flow Payments”). The Cash Flow Payments shall expire upon the earlier of (i) three years from the Effective Date, or (ii) the aggregate payment of the Purchase Price in the amount of the Maximum Purchase Price.

 

The payment and performance of all of the obligations under the Purchase Agreement is secured by a continuing security interest in all of the Companies now existing or hereafter acquired tangible and intangible properties including without limitation the Convertible Preferred Stock (as defined below), in favor of the Seller, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue to Seller convertible preferred stock convertible into common stock of the Company with a fair market value of up to $1,000,000 (“Convertible Preferred Stock”) valued by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day written notice of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the terms of the Note are delivered to the Company (the “Default Notice”). The Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted solely upon an Event of Default and in an amount equal to the outstanding amount due under the Note triggering such Event of Default. The Convertible Preferred Stock shall be held by the Company in escrow and shall be released within ten (10) days of the Event of Default.

 

According to the Purchase Agreement, if the Company fails to pay off the Outstanding Loan as set forth above, the Seller shall notify the Company in writing of such failure and the Company shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice to cure the failure. If the failure is not cured within such fifteen (15) days, the parties agree that the transactions under the Purchase Agreement shall be considered null and void and the parties will take all actions necessary to unwind the transactions under the Purchase Agreement in an expeditious manner, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the Purchase Price Payment Date, including but not limited to the transfer of all of the Acquisition Companies’ equity interests back to Seller, cancellation of the Employment Agreement and Note and all such other actions as are reasonably necessary.

  

Additionally, within ten (10) days of the Effective Date, the Company shall issue a promissory note in favor of the Seller in the principal amount of $830,000 evidencing the amounts previously loaned by Seller to the Acquisition Companies (the “Note”). The $830,000 principal amount of the Note shall be reduced by the Cash Payment. Upon delivery by Company to the Seller of the Final Note Payment, the Note held by Seller shall be forfeited and cancelled and of no further force or effect, and the Company shall have no further obligations under the Note.

 

On the same date, the Company entered into a three year (the “Term”) employment agreement with the Seller (the “Employment Agreement”). Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, commencing on the Effective Date the Seller shall serve as the President of each of the Acquisition Companies and shall be entitled to receive $150,000, as repayment of certain loans made to the Acquisition Companies in installments of $50,000 per year during the Term. Within thirty days of the Effective Date, the Company shall issue Preferred Stock of the Company to the Seller which shall convert into common stock of the Company equal to $25,000 at the time of conversion (the “Preferred Stock Issuance”) and thereafter the Seller shall receive the Preferred Stock Issuance each year during the Term. Additionally, the Seller shall be entitled to receive incentive bonus compensation based on the performance of the Acquisition Companies during the Term as set forth on Exhibit A of the Employment Agreement.

 

Our net sales are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We reported a net loss of $1,553,937 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017 we had a working capital deficit of 16,519,832. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2017. Therefore our operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. The trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations. Furthermore we have debt obligations, which must be satisfied. If we are successful in securing additional working capital, we intend to increase our marketing efforts to grow our revenues. Other than those disclosed above, we do not presently have any firm commitments for any additional capital and our financial condition as well as the uncertainty in the capital markets may make our ability to secure this capital difficult. There are no assurances that we will be able to continue our business, and we may be forced to cease operations in which event investors could lose their entire investment in our company. Included in our Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 is a discussion regarding Going Concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for our company include revenue recognition and accounting for stock based compensation, use of estimates, accounts receivable, property and equipment, derivative liabilities and income taxes.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. When a customer order contains multiple items such as hardware, software, and services which are delivered at varying times, we determine whether the delivered items can be considered separate units of accounting. Delivered items should be considered separate units of accounting if delivered items have value to the customer on a standalone basis, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items, and if delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially in our control. The following policies reflect specific criteria for our various revenues streams:

 

  Revenue is recognized upon completion of conferencing services. We generally do not charge up-front fees and bill our customers based on usage.
     
  Revenue for video equipment sales and security surveillance equipment sales is recognized upon delivery and installation.
     
  Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements is generally recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain and collectability of the related receivable is probable.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB ASC Topic 718: Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Companies may elect to apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under ASC 718. Upon adoption of ASC 718, the Company elected to value employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation method that uses assumptions that relate to the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the expected dividend yield of our stock, the expected life of the options and the risk free interest rate. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods or period of service of the option grant.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Account Receivable

 

We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). It requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and we intend to settle our current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Pursuant to accounting standards related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Adoption of New Accounting Principles

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements or new accounting principles that have an effect on the Company’s financial statements, except as described below.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-09”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date; however, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.

 

37
 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter 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.

 

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.

 

We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2016.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

Other than as disclosed below, there were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that were not previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K, or quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

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 “public 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 “public 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.

If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

 

(d) If no such resolution can be reached during the 30-day period following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 30-day period, then the matter will be handled under the Dispute Resolution provisions of this Agreement.

(a) Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Claim, or, in the event the delivery of such documents and materials would (i) violate Applicable Law or (ii) breach a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party or (iii) constitute a waiver of Indemnified Party’s attorney-client privilege, Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall provide summaries, excerpts or any other information in connection with such documents and materials to the maximum extent legally permissible and shall use reasonable efforts to assist and participate in such defense (at its own expense, which amount shall not constitute “Damages” of Indemnified Party, as applicable) as it relates to such materials and documents; and

Such notice shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail based upon the information then possessed by Indemnified Party, as applicable, include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable and to the extent known to Indemnified Party, as applicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(b) Mediation: If the Controversy has not been resolved by negotiation within forty-five (45) days of the disputing party’s notice, or the party receiving the notice will not meet within thirty (30) days, either party may, upon written notice by one party to the other, initiate mediation of the Controversy in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent that such provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of this section.
