DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF
OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of
Operations
Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”), through its
operating subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc. and TrueVue360,
Inc. (collectively the “Company”), develops and deploys vision
based analytical technology solutions that will help to transform
precision railroading, logistics and inter-modal transportation
operations. Additionally, these unique patented solutions can be
employed into many other industries.
The Company has developed the Railcar Inspection Portal (RIP) that
provides both freight and transit railroad customers and select
government agencies the ability to conduct fully automated
inspections of trains while they are in transit. The system, which
incorporates a variety of sophisticated optical technologies,
illumination and other sensors, scans each passing railcar to
create an extremely high-resolution image set from a variety of
angles including the undercarriage. These images are then processed
through various methods of artificial intelligence (“AI”)
algorithms to identify specific defects and/or areas of interest on
each railcar. This is all accomplished within minutes of a railcar
passing through our portal. This solution has the potential to
transform the railroad industry by increasing safety, improving
efficiency and reducing costs. The Company has successfully
deployed this system with several Class 1 railroad customers and
anticipates an increased demand in the future. Government agencies
can conduct digital inspections combined with the incorporated AI
to improve rail traffic flow across borders which also directly
benefits the Class 1 railroads through increasing their
velocity.
The Company has also developed the Automated Logistics Information
System (ALIS) which automates and reduces/removes personnel from
gatehouses where trucks enter and exit large logistics and
intermodal facilities. This solution also incorporates sensors and
data points as necessary for each operation and directly
interconnects with backend logistics databases and processes to
streamline operations and significantly improve operations and
security and importantly dramatically improves the vehicle
throughput on each lane on which the technology is deployed.
The Company has built a portfolio of IP and patented solutions that
creates “actionable intelligence” using two core native platforms
called Centraco® and Praesidium™. All solutions provided include a
variant of both applications. Centraco is designed primarily as the
user interface to all our systems as well as the backend connection
to third-party applications and databases through both Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs).
This interface is browser based and hosted within each one of our
systems and solutions. It is typically also customized for each
unique customer and application. Praesidium typically resides as
middleware in our systems and manages the various image capture
devices and some sensors for input into the Centraco software.
The Company also developed a proprietary Artificial Intelligence
(AI) software platform, Truevue360™ with the objective of focusing
the Company’s advanced intelligent technologies in the areas of AI,
deep machine learning and advanced multi-layered algorithms to
further support our solutions. The Company also offers technical
support services for the above products.
The Company also provided professional and consulting services for
large data centers and had developed a system for the automation of
asset information marketed as DcVue™. The Company had deployed its
DcVue software at one beta site. This software was used by Duos’
consulting auditing teams. DcVue was based upon the Company’s OSPI
patent which was awarded in 2010. The Company offered DcVue
available for license to our customers as a licensed software
product. The Company ceased offering this product in 2021.
The Company’s strategy is to deliver operational and technical
excellence to our customers, expand our RIP and ALIS solutions into
current and new customers focused in the Rail, Logistics and U.S.
Government Sectors, offer both CAPEX and OPEX pricing models to
customers that increases recurring revenue, grows backlog and
improves profitability, responsibly grow the business both
organically and through selective acquisitions, and promote a
performance-based work force where employees enjoy their work and
are incentivized to excel and remain with the Company.

Basis of
Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of
a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022
or for any other future period. These unaudited consolidated
financial statements and the unaudited condensed notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
March 31, 2022.

Principles of
Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Duos
Technologies Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Duos
Technologies, Inc and TrueVue360. Inc. All inter-company
transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated 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 intangible and other long-lived assets,
estimates of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to
determine progress towards contract completion, estimates of the
valuation of right of use assets and corresponding lease
liabilities, valuation of warrants issued with debt and valuation
of stock-based awards. 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. As of March 31, 2022, the balance
in one financial institution exceeded federally insured limits by
approximately $4,827,300.
Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
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 three months ended March 31, 2022, four customers accounted
for 24% (“Customer 2”),
35% (“Customer 1”),
13% (“Customer 3”) and
11% (“Customer 4”) of
revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, one customer
accounted for 79% (“Customer 2”) of
revenues. In all cases, there is no minimum contract value stated.
Each contract covers an agreement to deliver a rail inspection
portal which, once accepted, must be paid in full with 30% or more
being due and payable prior to delivery. The balances of the
contracts are for service and maintenance which is paid annually in
advance with revenues recorded ratably over the contract period.
Each of the customers referenced has the following termination
provisions:
|
· |
Customer 1, termination can be
made, prior to delivery of products or services, in the case where
either party breaches any of its obligations under the agreement
between the parties. The other party may terminate the agreement
effective 15 Business Days following notice from the non-defaulting
party, if the non-performance has not been cured within such
period, and without prejudice to damages that could be claimed by
the non-defaulting party. Either party may terminate the agreement
if the other party becomes unable to pay its debts in the ordinary
course of business; goes into liquidation (other than for the
purpose of a genuine amalgamation or restructuring); has a receiver
appointed over all or part of its assets; enters into a composition
or voluntary arrangement with its creditors; or any similar event
occurs in any jurisdiction, all to the extent permitted by
law. |
|
· |
For Customer 2, prior to delivery
of products or services, either party may terminate the agreement
between the parties upon the other party’s material breach of a
representation, warranty, term, covenant or undertaking in the
agreement if, within 30 days following the delivery of a written
notice to the defaulting party setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis of such default, the defaulting party has not rectified
such default to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-defaulting
party. Failure to perform due to a force majeure condition shall
not be considered a material default under the agreement. |

|
|
· |
For Customer 3, prior to delivery
of products or services if the customer terminates the statement of
work for convenience, no refund of any advance payments will be due
to Customer 3. ln the event of a material breach by the Company,
which breach is not cured, or cure has not begun within 30 days of
written notice to the Company by Customer 3, Customer 3 may
terminate this statement of work for cause. In the event of
termination by Customer 3 for cause, the Company shall reimburse
Customer 3 any unused prepaid fees on a pro rata basis. |
|
· |
For Customer 4, if the customer
terminates this Agreement for convenience, no refund, of any
advance payments, will be due to Customer 4. In the event of a
material breach by Duos, which breach is not cured, or cure has not
begun within 30 days of written notice to Duos by Customer 4,
Customer 4 may terminate this Agreement for cause. In the event of
termination by Customer 4 for cause, Duos shall reimburse Customer
any unused advanced payments or pre-paid fees on a pro rata
basis. |
At March 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 45%, 32% and 17% of accounts receivable.
At December 31, 2021, two customers accounted for 81% and 10%, of accounts
receivable. Much of the credit risk is mitigated since all of the
customers listed here are Class 1 railroads or large government
funded national railroad. The Class 1 railroads have a multi-year
history of timely payments to us.
Geographic Concentration
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 54% of revenue was
generated from three customers outside of the United States. For
the three months ended March 31, 2021, approximately 86% of revenue was
generated from three customers outside of the United States. These
customers are Canadian and Mexican, and two of the three are Class
1 railroads operating in the United States.
Significant Vendors and Concentration of Credit Risk
At March 31, 2022, three vendors accounted for 13%, 14% and 18% of accounts
payable. At December 31, 2021, one vendor accounted for 14% of accounts
payable.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“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 requires 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:
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
that the market participants would use in the valuation of the
asset or liability based on the best available information.
|
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of
both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard
Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under
this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in
their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments,
including accounts receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable,
accrued expenses and notes payable are carried at historical cost
basis, which approximates their fair values because of the
short-term nature of these instruments.

Software Development
Costs
Software development costs incurred prior to establishing
technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in
research and development costs. The technological feasibility of a
software product is established when the Company has completed all
planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are
necessary to establish that the product meets its design
specifications, including functionality, features, and technical
performance requirements. Software development costs incurred after
establishing technological feasibility for software sold as a
perpetual license, as defined within ASC 985-20 (Software – Costs
of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed) are capitalized and
amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is
available for general release to customers.
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 or conversion 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 March 31, 2022, there was an aggregate of 1,376,466 outstanding
warrants to purchase shares of common stock. At March 31, 2022,
there were employee stock options to purchase an aggregate of
1,096,266 shares
of common stock. Also, at March 31, 2022, 121,571 common
shares were issuable upon conversion of Series B convertible
preferred stock all of which were excluded from the computation of
dilutive earnings per share because their inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive.
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.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing
of when certain types of revenues will be recognized. The basic
principles in ASC 606 include the following: a contract with a
customer creates distinct contract assets and performance
obligations, satisfaction of a performance obligation creates
revenue, and a performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of
control to a good or service to a customer.
Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with
customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:
|
1. |
Identify the contract with the
customer; |
|
2. |
Identify the performance
obligations in the contract; |
|
3. |
Determine the transaction
price; |
|
4. |
Allocate the transaction price to
separate performance obligations; and |
|
5. |
Recognize revenue when (or as) each
performance obligation is satisfied. |

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company generates revenues from four sources:
|
3. |
Technical Support; and |
For revenues related to technology systems, the Company recognizes
revenue over time using a cost-based input methodology in which
significant judgment is required to estimate costs to complete
projects. These estimated costs are then used to determine the
progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount
of revenue to recognize.
Accordingly, the Company bases its technology systems revenue
recognition on ASC 606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service
transfers over time if the entity’s performance does not create an
asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an
enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
including a profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control
is deemed to pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are
manufactured and revenue is recognized accordingly.
In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if
the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in
satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method
to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred.
Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to
the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation. To
accurately reflect revenue recognition based on the input method,
the Company has adopted the implementation guidance as set out in
ASC-606-10-55-187 through 192.
Under this method,
contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the
contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred. Costs include
direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and other
allocable direct 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 “contract assets”.
Any billings of customers more than recognized revenues are
recorded as a liability in “contract liabilities”. However, in the
event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize
the loss when such loss is determined.
The Company has revenue from applications that incorporate
artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of predetermined
algorithms which provide important operating information to the
users of our systems. The revenue generated from these applications
of AI consists of a fixed fee related to the design, development,
testing and incorporation of new algorithms into the system, which
is recognized as revenue at a point in time upon acceptance, as
well as an annual application maintenance fee, which is recognized
as revenue ratably over the contracted maintenance term.
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
over time as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and
technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized
over time ratably over the term of the contract.
The Company’s consulting services business generates revenues under
contracts with customers from three sources: (1) Professional
Services (consulting and auditing); (2) Software licensing with
optional hardware sales; and (3) Customer service training and (4)
Maintenance support.
|
(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. |

Multiple Performance
Obligations and Allocation of Transaction
Price
Arrangements with customers may involve multiple performance obligations
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 consulting
services business, multiple performance obligations 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 a
multiple performance obligations arrangement is as follows:
Each performance obligation is accounted for separately when each
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 performance
obligations is recognized using the applicable criteria under GAAP
as discussed above for performance obligations sold in single
performance obligation 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 performance obligations 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 performance
obligations arrangements with Company customers qualify as separate
units of account for revenue recognition purposes.
Segment
Information
The Company operates in one reportable segment.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock-based
compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based
Payment,” which requires the grant date measurement and the
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards made including employee stock options, restricted stock
units, and employee stock purchases based on estimated fair
values.
Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then
amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The
Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model
is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding the
number of highly subjective variables.
The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock
price of the Company and estimates the expected term for stock
options using the simplified method for employees and directors and
the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is
determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury
securities with similar maturities.
Leases
The Company follows ASC 842 “Leases”. This guidance requires
lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease
liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, this guidance
requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a
contract in accordance with the revenue guidance in ASC 606.
The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize
short-term leases with terms of twelve months or less on the
balance sheet and instead recognize the lease payments in expense
as incurred. The Company has also elected to account for real
estate leases that contain both lease and non-lease components as a
single lease component.
At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the
contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is
based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct
identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially
all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the
period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the
asset.
Operating ROU assets represent the right to use the leased asset
for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized
based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease
term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an
implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based
on the information available at the lease commencement date to
determine the present value of future payments. The lease term
includes all periods covered by renewal and termination options
where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal
options or not to exercise the termination options. Operating lease
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
and is included in general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
From time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies will
issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ASC are
communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”).
In August 2020, the FASB
issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2020-06) related to the
measurement and disclosure requirements for convertible instruments
and contracts in an entity's own equity. The pronouncement
simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and
measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement
assessment for contracts in an entity's own equity. This
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2023. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2022, and it did not have a material effect on our
unaudited consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued
an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2021-04) related to modifications
or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options
(such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification
or exchange. The pronouncement states that an entity should treat
the modification as an exchange of the original instrument for a
new instrument, and the effect of the modification should be
calculated as the difference between the fair value of the modified
instrument and the fair value of that instrument immediately before
modification. An entity should then recognize the effect of the
modification on the basis of the substance of the transaction, in
the same manner as if cash had been paid as consideration. This
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2021. The pronouncement will be applied prospectively to all
modifications that occur after the initial date of adoption. We
adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning January 1,
2022, and it did not have a material effect on our unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not
yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a
material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,644,616 for the three months ended
March 31, 2022. During the same period, cash used in operating
activities was $827,733. The working
capital surplus and accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 were
$2,540,856 and $48,141,667, respectively. In one
previous financial report during 2021, the Company had raised
substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. This was
principally due to a lack of working capital prior to an
underwritten common stock offering which was completed during the
first quarter of 2022 (the “2022 Offering”).
During the previous 15 months, the Company has raised more than $10
million after fees and expenses, both from existing shareholders
through the issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and in
the first quarter of 2022, a follow-on common stock offering using
its previously filed “shelf” registration. Although, further
additional investment is not assured, the Company is comfortable
that it would be able to raise sufficient capital to support
expanded operations based on an anticipated increase in business
activity. In the long run, the continuation of the Company as a
going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to
continue executing the plan described above, generate enough
revenue, and eventually attain consistently profitable operations.
Although the current global pandemic related to the coronavirus
(COVID-19) has affected our operations, particularly in supply
chain, we now believe that this is expected to be an ongoing issue
and our working capital assumptions reflect this new reality. The
Company cannot currently quantify the uncertainty related to the
pandemic and its effects on our customers in the coming quarters.
We have analyzed our cash flow under “stress test” conditions and
have determined that we have sufficient liquid assets on hand to
maintain operations for at least twelve months from the date of
this report. A notable recent success is the “bonding” secured in
the amount of approximately $8 million for a major project for
which the Company recently received full “notice to proceed”.
The Company was successful in securing a loan of $1,410,270 during the second quarter of 2020
from the Small Business Administration via the PPP/CARES Act
program which further bolstered the Company’s cash reserves. This
loan was forgiven in the first quarter of 2021 and leaves the
Company essentially debt free other than the normal course of
business equipment and insurance financing. The Company has also
been successful in increasing its working capital surplus after
receiving proceeds from the 2021 Offering of $4,500,000 and more
recently, in the first quarter of 2022, receiving net proceeds of
approximately $5,500,000 from the successful
sales of common stock under the Company’s “shelf registration”
statement as previously mentioned. This gives us the capital
required to fund the fundamental business changes that we are
executing including organization, product alignment and market
focus and maintenance of our business strategy overall. In
addition, management has been taking and continues to take actions
including, but not limited to, elimination of certain costs that do
not contribute to short term revenue, and re-aligning both
management and staffing with a focus on improving certain skill
sets necessary to build growth and profitability and focusing
product strategy on opportunities that are likely to bear results
in the relatively short term. During 2021, management took further
significant actions including reorganizing our engineering and
technical teams and selectively improving organizational efficiency
to effectively grow the business in concert with the influx of
business won in late 2021 and early 2022. Upon completion of the
2022 Offering, management has raised sufficient working capital to
meet its needs for the next 12-months without the need to raise
further capital. The Company had experienced a significant slowdown
in closing new projects due to cautious actions by current and
potential clients as a result of COVID-19 but this appears to be
abating as time passes. We continue to be successful in identifying
new business opportunities and are focused on maintaining a backlog
of projects.

Management believes that, at this time, the conditions in our
market space with ongoing contract delays, the consequent need to
procure certain materials in advance of a binding contract and the
additional time needed to execute on new contracts previously
reported have put a strain on our cash reserves. However, recent
events including an approximate $5.5 million injection of funds
from a sale of common stock, significant recent orders and the
overall stabilization of the business indicate that there is no
longer substantial doubt for the Company to continue as a going
concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance of this
report. We will continue executing the plan to grow our business
and eventually achieve profitability without the requirement to
raise additional capital for existing operations for 2022 although
we may do so to fund selective opportunities that may arise.
Management has extensively evaluated our requirements for the next
12 months and has determined that the Company currently has
sufficient cash to operate for at least that period.

Operating Lease
Obligations
On July 26, 2021, the Company entered a new operating lease
agreement of office and warehouse combination space of 40,000 square feet, with the lease
commencing on November 1, 2021 and ending April 30, 2032. This new
space will combine the Company’s two separate work locations into
one facility, which will allow for greater collaboration and also
accommodate a larger anticipated workforce and manufacturing
facility. On November 24, 2021, the lease was amended to commence
on December 1, 2021 and end on May 31, 2032. The Company recognized
a ROU asset and operating lease liability in the amount of
$4,980,104 at lease
commencement. Rent for the first eleven months of the term will be
calculated based on 30,000 rentable square feet. The rent
is subject to an annual escalation of 2.5%, beginning November 1,
2023. The Company made a security deposit payment in the amount of
$600,000 on July 26, 2021.
The right of use asset balance at March 31, 2022, net of
amortization, was $4,848,129.
As of March 31, 2022, the office and warehouse lease is the
Company’s only lease with a term greater than twelve months. The
office and warehouse lease has a remaining term of approximately
10.2 years and includes an option to extend for two renewal terms
of five years each. The renewal options are not reasonably certain
to be exercised, and therefore, they are not included when
determining the lease term used to establish the right-of use asset
and lease liability. The Company also has several short-term
leases, primarily related to equipment. The Company made an
accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases with
terms of twelve months or less on the balance sheet and instead
recognize the lease payments in expense as incurred. The Company
has also elected to account for real estate leases that contain
both lease and non-lease components (such as common area
maintenance) as a single lease component.

Executive Severance
Agreement
On July 10, 2020, the Company announced that Gianni Arcaini would
retire from the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
of the Board effective as of September 1, 2020 (the “CEO
Transition”). In order to facilitate a transition of his duties,
the Company and Mr. Arcaini entered into a separation agreement
which became effective as of July 10, 2020 (the “Separation
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Arcaini’s
employment with the Company ended on September 1, 2020 (“Separation
Date”) and he will receive separation payments over a 36-month
period equal to his base salary plus $75,000
as well as certain limited health and life insurance benefits. The
Separation Agreement also contains confidentiality,
non-disparagement and non-solicitation covenants and a release of
claims by Mr. Arcaini who continued to serve as Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company. The Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee did not submit Mr. Arcaini for re-election as
a director and on November 19, 2020 at the Annual Shareholders
meeting a new non-Executive Chairman was appointed.
In accordance with the Separation Agreement, the Company will pay
to Mr. Arcaini the total sum of $747,788.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the status of Mr. Arcaini as a
“Specified Employee” as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section
409A has the effect of delaying any payments to Mr. Arcaini under
the Separation Agreement for six months after the Separation Date.
On March 1, 2021, the Company paid to Mr. Arcaini a lump-sum amount
equal to the first six months of payments, or $124,631,
owed to Mr. Arcaini and the Company will continue to pay him in
semi-monthly installments for 30 months thereafter, as contemplated
in Mr. Arcaini’s Separation Agreement. The remaining balance of
approximately $416,000 as of March 31,
2022 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company will pay
one-half of Mr. Arcaini’s current life insurance premiums for 36
months of approximately $1,200 per month and provide
and pay for his health insurance for 36 months following the
Separation Date of approximately $450 per month. Unvested options
in the amount of 50,358 became exercisable
and vested in their entirety on the Separation Date valued at
$95,127. The Company made payment of his attorneys’ fees for legal
work associated with the negotiation and drafting of the Separation
Agreement of approximately $17,000.

Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock
The following summary of certain terms and provisions of our Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock”) is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference
to, the terms and provisions set forth in our certificate of
designation of preferences, rights and limitations of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Convertible Preferred
Certificate of Designation”) as previously filed. Subject to the
limitations prescribed by our articles of incorporation, our board
of directors is authorized to establish the number of shares
constituting each series of preferred stock and to fix the
designations, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each
of those series and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of each of those series, all without any further vote
or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has
designated 15,000 of the
10,000,000 authorized
shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
with a stated value of $1,000 per share. The
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
at any time at the holder’s option into a number of shares of
common stock equal to $1,000 divided by the
conversion price of $7.00 per share. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, we shall not effect any conversion of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, with certain exceptions, to the extent
that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion, the holder of
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (together with such
holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together
with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates) would
beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock in excess
of 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the
shares of our common stock then outstanding after giving effect to
such exercise. Effective November 24, 2017 (the “Effective Date”),
the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights
Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which included the
issuance of 2,830 shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock worth $2,830,000 (including
the conversion of liabilities at a price of $1,000 per Class B Unit. As of March
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, there are 851
and shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain existing
investors in the Company (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers purchased 4,500 shares of a
newly authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock”), and the Company received proceeds
of $4,500,000.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties, agreements and indemnification rights and obligations
of the parties. In January 2022, the 4,500 outstanding shares of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 454,546
shares of common stock.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers. Pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed with the
SEC a registration statement covering the resale by the Purchasers
of the shares of common stock into which the shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible. The Registration
Rights Agreement contains customary representations, warranties,
agreements and indemnification rights and obligations of the
parties.
The Company’s Board of Directors has designated 5,000 shares as the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000. The
holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of
the common stock and the holders of any other class or series of
shares entitled to vote with the common stock shall vote together
as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of
the Company. Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has
172 votes (subject to adjustment); provided that in no event may a
holder of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock be entitled to vote
a number of shares in excess of such holder’s Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined in the Certificate of Designation and as
described below). Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time, at the
option of the holder, into that number of shares of common stock
(subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) determined by
dividing the stated value of such share ($1,000) by the conversion
price, which is $5.50 (subject to adjustment).
The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right
to convert any portion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock,
to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion sought by
the holder such holder (together with such holder’s Attribution
Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Designation)) would
beneficially own more than 4.99% (or upon election by a holder,
19.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common
stock issuable upon such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation”).

the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was $250,577 and
$76,301
respectively, for stock options granted to employees and directors.
This expense is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards
that are ultimately expected to vest during the period. At March
31, 2022, the total compensation cost for stock options not yet
recognized was $1,421,156.
This cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting term of the
options ranging from six months to two- and one-half years.
Employee Stock Options
On May 12, 2021, the Board adopted, with shareholder approval, the
2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) providing for the
issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares
of our Common Stock. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to assist the
Company in attracting and retaining key employees, directors and
consultants and to provide incentives to such individuals to align
their interests with those of our shareholders.
On January 1, 2022, the Company awarded certain senior management
and key employees non-qualified stock options under the 2021
Plan. Specifically, a total of 665,000
options were awarded by the Company’s Compensation Committee and
approved by the Board, with a strike price of $6.41 per share, a five- 5 year term and
vesting equally over a three-year period. The Options serve
as a retention tool and contain key provisions that the holder must
remain in good standing with the Company. The options were valued
on the grant date at 1,563,708 using a
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: (1) expected
term of 3.5 years using the simplified method,
(2) expected volatility rate of 72% based on historical
volatility, (3) dividend yield of zero , and (4) a discount rate of
0.97%.
As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, options to purchase a
total of 1,096,266 shares
of common stock and 431,266 shares of
common stock were outstanding, respectively. Of the total of

further 160,000 and 160,000 non-plan options to purchase

2021, respectively. The non-plan options were granted to four
executives as hiring incentives, including the Company’s CEO.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded
an option expense for all options outstanding in the amount of
$250,577.

the first quarter of 2022. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,

NOTE 6 - REVENUE
Revenue Recognition and
Contract Accounting
The Company generates revenue from four sources: (1) Technology
Systems; (2) AI Technology which is included in the consolidated
statements of operations line-item Technology systems; (3)
Technical Support; and (4) Consulting Services which is included in
the unaudited consolidated statements of operations line-item
Services and consulting.
Technology
Systems
The Company constructs intelligent technology systems consisting of
materials and labor under customer contracts. Revenues and related
costs on technology systems revenue are recognized based on ASC
606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service transfers over
time if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date including a
profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control is deemed to
pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are manufactured
and revenue is recognized accordingly.
In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if
the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in
satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method
to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred.
Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to
the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation.

Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the
performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the
costs incurred. Costs include direct material, direct labor,
subcontract labor and other allocable direct 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 “contract assets”. Any billings of
customers more than recognized revenues are recorded as a liability
in “contract liabilities”. 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. Cost 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.
Artificial
Intelligence
The Company has
revenue from applications that incorporate artificial intelligence
(AI) in the form of predetermined algorithms which provide
important operating information to the users of our systems. The
revenue generated from these applications of AI consists of a fixed
fee related to the design, development, testing and incorporation
of new algorithms into the system, which is recognized as revenue
at a point in time upon acceptance, as well as an annual
application maintenance fee, which revenue is recognized ratably
over the contracted maintenance term.
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
over time as the services are provided. Revenue for maintenance and
technical support provided on an extended-term basis is recognized
over time ratably over the term of the contract.
For sales arrangements that do not involve multiple performance
obligations such as professional services, which are of short-term
duration, revenues are recognized when services are completed.
Consulting Services
The Company’s consulting services business generates revenues under
contracts with customers from three sources: (1) Professional
Services (consulting and auditing); (2) Software licensing with
optional hardware sales; and (3) Customer Service (training and
maintenance support).
|
(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 at a point in time 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 at a point in time
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 time ratably over the contract
term. |

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company is following the guidance of ASC 606-10-55-296 and 297
for disaggregation of revenue. Accordingly, revenue has been
disaggregated according to the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. We are providing qualitative
and quantitative disclosures.
Qualitative:
|
1. |
We have four distinct revenue
sources: |
|
a. |
Turnkey, engineered projects; |
|
b. |
Associated maintenance and support
services; |
|
c. |
Licensing and professional services
related to auditing of data center assets; and |
|
d. |
Predetermined algorithms to provide
important operating information to the users of our systems. |

NOTE 8 – RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into an independent
contractor master services agreement (the “Services Agreement”)
with Luceon, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, owned by our
former Chief Technology Officer, David Ponevac. The Services
Agreement provided that Luceon would provide support services
including management, coordination or software development services
and related services to duos. In January 2019, additional services
were contracted with Luceon for TrueVue360™ primarily for software
development through the provision of 7 additional full-time
contractors located in Slovakia at a cost of $16,250 for January initially,
rising to $25,583 after fully staffed, per
month starting February 2019. This was in addition to the existing
contract of $7,480 per month for duos for 4
full-time contractors which increased to $8,231 per month in June
of 2019. During 2020 efforts in reducing cost, Luceon reduced its
staff for the TrueVue360 software development team from a staff of
7 to 3 full-time employees at a cost of $11,666 per month starting
June 1, 2020. As of January 1, 2021, the Company no longer records
activities in TrueVue360 and has combined billings for a total of
$20,986 per month. For the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the total amount expensed is
zero 0 and
$62,958, respectively. The Company
had no open accounts payable with Luceon at March 31, 2022. On May
14, 2021, the Company formally ended its relationship with Luceon
in concert with the resignation of our Chief Technology Officer and
as such there is no longer a related party relationship.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by
Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”), and its operating
subsidiaries, Duos Technologies, Inc. (“Duos”) and TrueVue360, Inc
(“TrueVue360”, Duos Technologies Group, Inc. and Duos, collectively
the “Company” “we”, “our”, and “us”) from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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,” “aim,” “project,” “target,” “will,”
“may,” “should,” “forecast” 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
typically address the Company’s expected future business and
financial performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties,
assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in
the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, relating to the
Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of
operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
differ materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected, intended, or planned.
These factors include, but are not limited to, risks related to
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company’s
ability to generate sufficient cash to continue and expand
operations, the competitive environment generally and in the
Company’s specific market areas, changes in technology, the
availability of and the terms of financing, changes in costs and
availability of goods and services, economic conditions in general
and in the Company’s specific market areas, changes in federal,
state and/or local government laws and regulations potentially
affecting the use of the Company’s technology, changes in operating
strategy or development plans and the ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel. The Company cautions that the foregoing list
of risks, uncertainties and factors is not exclusive. Additional
information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in
the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K,
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports
on Form 8-K, and other filings filed by the Company with the SEC,
which are available at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. The
Company believes its plans, intentions and expectations reflected
in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions. No assurance, however, can be given that
the Company will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or
expectations. Indeed, it is likely that some of the Company’s
assumptions may prove to be incorrect. The Company’s actual results
and financial position may vary from those projected or implied in
the forward-looking statements and the variances may be material.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the
particular statement. We do not undertake or accept any obligation
or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our
expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances
on which any forward-looking statement is based, except as required
by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
concerning the Company or other matters attributable to the Company
or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the cautionary statements above.
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. (the “Company”) was incorporated in
Florida on May 31, 1994 under the original name of Information
Systems Associates, Inc. Initially, our business operations
consisted of consulting services for asset management of large
corporate data centers and the development and licensing of
information technology (“IT”) asset management software. In late
2014, the Company entered negotiations with Duos Technologies, Inc.
(“Duos”), for the purposes of executing a reverse triangular
merger. This transaction was completed on April 1, 2015, whereby
Duos became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Duos 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, has a current staff of 66 people of which 58
are full time and is a technology and software applications company
with a strong portfolio of intellectual property. The Company’s
core competencies, including advanced intelligent technologies, are
delivered through its proprietary integrated enterprise command and
control platform, Centraco®.
The Company has developed the Railcar Inspection Portal (“RIP”)
which provides both freight and transit railroad customers and
select government agencies the ability to conduct fully remote
railcar inspections of trains while they are in transit. The
system, which incorporates a variety of sophisticated optical
technologies, illumination and other sensors, scans each passing
railcar to create an extremely high-resolution image set from a
variety of angles including the undercarriage. These images are
then processed through various methods of artificial intelligence
algorithms to identify specific defects and/or areas of interest on
each railcar. This is all accomplished within seconds of a railcar
passing through our portal. We believe this solution has the
potential to transform the railroad industry immediately increasing
safety, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The Company has
successfully deployed this system with several Class 1 railroad
customers and anticipates an increased demand from transit and
other railroad customers along with selected government agencies
that operate and/or manage rail traffic in the future. Government
agencies can conduct digital inspections combined with the
incorporated artificial intelligence (“AI”) to improve rail traffic
flow across borders which also directly benefits the Class 1
railroads through increasing their velocity.
The Company has also developed the Automated Logistics Information
System (“ALIS”) which automates gatehouse operations where
transport trucks enter and exit large logistics and intermodal
facilities. This solution also incorporates sensors and data points
as necessary for each operation and directly interconnects with
backend logistics databases and processes to streamline operations,
and significantly improve operations and security and importantly
dramatically improves the vehicle throughput on each lane on which
the technology is deployed.
The Company has built a portfolio of IP and patented solutions that
creates “actionable intelligence” using two core native platforms
called Centraco® and Praesidium™. All solutions provided include a
variant of both applications. Centraco is designed primarily as the
user interface to all our systems as well as the backend connection
to third-party applications and databases through both Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs).
This interface is browser based and hosted within each one of our
systems and solutions. It is typically also customized for each
unique customer and application. Praesidium typically resides as
middleware in our systems and manages the various image capture
devices and some sensors for input into the Centraco software.
The Company also developed a proprietary Artificial Intelligence
software platform, Truevue360™ with the objective of focusing the
Company’s advanced intelligent technologies in the areas of AI,
deep machine learning and advanced multi-layered algorithms to
further support our solutions.
The Company also provided professional and consulting services for
large data centers and had developed a system for the automation of
asset information marketed as DcVue™. The Company had deployed its
DcVue software at one beta site. This software was used by Duos’
consulting auditing teams. DcVue was based upon the Company’s OSPI
patent which was awarded in 2010. The Company offered DcVue
available for license to our customers as a licensed software
product. The Company ceased offering this product in 2021.
The Company’s strategy is to deliver operational and technical
excellence to our customers; expand our RIP and ALIS solutions into
current and new customers focused in the Rail, Logistics and U.S.
Government Sectors; offer both CAPEX and OPEX pricing models to
customers that increases recurring revenue, grows backlog and
improves profitability; responsibly grow the business both
organically and through selective acquisitions; and promote a
performance-based work force where employees enjoy their work and
are incentivized to excel and remain with the Company.
Prospects and Outlook
The Company’s focus is to improve operational and technical
execution which, we believe, will in turn enable the commercial
side of the business to expand RIP and ALIS delivery into existing
customers and to expand and diversify our current customer base.
Even though COVID-19 is expected to still be an issue during 2022,
the Company’s primary customers have indicated readiness to order
more equipment and services should the Company execute as expected
on key deliverables.
Additionally, the Company is making engineering and software
upgrades to the RIP to meet anticipated Federal Railroad
Association (FRA) and Association of American Railroad (AAR)
standards. Similar upgrades are also being developed to improve the
ALIS system. These upgrades will continue to be released throughout
2022 and are expected to drive revenue growth this year and
beyond.
The Company is expanding its focus in the rail industry to
encompass passenger transportation and was awarded a large,
multi-year contract with a national rail carrier. The Company
anticipates that it will deliver at least two RIP solutions along
with a long-term services agreement in 2022 and completing delivery
during the first quarter of 2023.
Although the Company’s prospects and outlook are anticipated to be
favorable for 2022, investing in our securities involves risk and
careful consideration should be made before deciding to purchase
our securities. There are many risks that affect our business and
results of operations, some of which are beyond our control and
unexpected macro events can have a severe impact on the business.
Please see the risk factors identified in “Item 1A – Risk Factors”
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31,
2022.

The decrease in overall revenues for the quarter ended March 31,
2022 is primarily related to the timing of new installations in the
technology systems portion of our business, which was driven by
delays in receiving anticipated “notices to proceed” for new
contracts expected earlier in the year, and supply chain issues
which are extending deadlines for shipment of key components used
in our technology systems. While certain orders were delayed from
2021 into 2022, we remain encouraged by the breadth and scope of
recent bids in which we have participated. Management cautions that
because of the delays in anticipated start dates, certain
installations may produce revenues towards the end of 2022, some of
which may ultimately be recorded in 2023. Additionally, although
the industries in which we operate are showing early signs of
recovery from the delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
other macro-economic effects are anticipated to impact us,
including inflation and the current supply chain issues. The effect
of this will be to push some revenue recognition later in the year
or into 2023. The effects of inflation are not quantifiable at the
current time but are beginning to be evident in increased costs for
materials and labor. These effects may result in higher costs for
project implementation that cannot be wholly or even partially
passed on to our customers and thus resulting in delaying our
progress towards profitability.
We believe the Company’s capital structure allows us to weather the
unexpected delays without significant operational impact and
enables us to pursue large projects requiring the ability to deploy
major resources. It should be noted that the Company increased its
working capital in late 2021 to account for an increase in
pre-contract procurement activities to avoid a slowdown in revenues
caused by delays in receiving certain components. The Company
undertook a major review of operations during 2021 and made
significant changes in staffing, including hiring additional
engineering staff and revamping its software development and
Artificial Intelligence staffing. Although the Company implemented
a “rapid development” initiative in early 2021, which was intended
to enable the Company to respond to market driven demand more
quickly, this effort has been somewhat negated by ongoing supply
chain issues. This effort was expected to shorten delivery times on
major projects and result in significant revenue growth in the last
six months of 2021 and beyond, the previously discussed supply
chain issues have not allowed the anticipated benefits to be
realized at this time. The Company is monitoring the situation and
had continued to procure materials ahead of formal contract award
late in the first quarter of 2022.
The services portion of revenues are driven by the successful
completion of projects and represent services and support for those
installations. The Company expects growth with new revenue from
existing customers, including services revenue as the result of new
maintenance contracts being established on installations coming
on-line during 2022. The Company also anticipates renewals of
existing contracts and a shift to the next generation of technology
systems which are currently being installed.

Cost of revenues largely comprises equipment, labor and overhead
necessary to support the implementation of new systems and support
and maintenance of existing systems.
Cost of revenues on technology systems decreased during the three
months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the equivalent period in
2021, which is consistent with the decrease in revenues. However,
the percentage decrease in cost of revenues for technology systems
for the current year period compared to the prior year period was
lower than the percentage decrease in revenues from technology
systems for the current year period compared to the prior year
period. The higher level of cost compared to revenues was mainly
due to higher costs of materials due to supply chain disruptions
and inflation, as well as additional work being necessary on
certain of the Company’s installations to resolve newly identified
quality issues. While we expect that macro-economic factors will
continue to drive prices, the Company expects its structural
realignment to aid in lowering costs as a percentage of the overall
system price going forward. As previously noted, the Company’s
organization and related cost structure was realigned to provide
the capability to manufacture, install and support multiple
production systems simultaneously. In accordance with this shift in
structure, certain staff were re-assigned or replaced, and new
staff added in key areas, particularly software engineering, IT and
AI.
In conjunction with these organizational changes, increased costs
are now being recognized against project and support revenues.
While there is a continued focus on construction costs and savings
through efficiency, the Company has elected to expand its key
employees in 2021 and early 2022 in anticipation of expected sales
growth in technology systems and services. These changes had a
negative impact on the gross margin (see below) during the quarter
ended March 31, 2022, but this is expected to be a short-term
impact, which we believe will be offset by anticipated increases in
revenue later in 2022. We also expect these changes to have a
positive long-term impact as we believe they will enable the
Company to deliver a higher number of systems in a given period,
with a shorter period of implementation and with better quality and
reliability, as operations become standardized in anticipation of
expected higher demand for systems, particularly in the rail
industry.
Cost of revenues on services and consulting decreased in the three
months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period in
line with the decrease in revenues from services and consulting for
the current year period as compared to the prior year period. While
relatively flat when comparing the first quarter of 2022 and the
equivalent period in 2021, an overall positive trend on service and
consulting revenue is expected to continue as the Company expects
that as more of the revenue will be derived from recurring revenue.
Costs of revenues on services and consulting are expected to
increase in future years but at a slower rate than revenue growth.
The Company focused on streamlining support operations in 2021, and
despite the additional resources allocated to these activities in
anticipation of higher recurring revenue in 2022 and beyond, we
expect higher gross margins as the Company grows.
As discussed previously, the impact of inflation may negatively
affect the costs of revenues such that we may experience higher
costs for materials and labor, including higher employee and
sub-contractor costs that cannot be passed along in all cases.
Management is continuing to monitor this situation and expects to
take actions as the full impact of these cost increases is
understood. This may take the form of higher prices and continued
evaluation of costs to attempt to reduce the overall costs to
offset the additional expenses, although this is not assured.

As previously discussed, the Company has revamped its operations to
support an anticipated increase in the number of new systems going
forward. The resultant additional cost of revenues was not covered
by a comparable increase in revenues during the first quarter of
2022. The main reason for the continuing high level of cost is
higher costs of materials due to supply chain disruptions and
inflation. However, we anticipate an improvement in the overall
gross margin for the full year of 2022, with much of the
improvement expected to occur in the second half of the year.
Certain macro-economic factors, which are driving increased costs
for materials and labor, may result in higher costs for project
implementation that cannot be wholly or even partially passed on to
our customers, which may result in delaying our progress towards
profitability into 2023.

Overall operating expenses during the three months ended March 31,
2022 increased by 23% compared to the equivalent period in 2021.
Increases in research and development costs and general and
administration costs during the current year period were offset by
a decrease in sales and marketing costs during the period. The
overall increase is primarily related to the Company’s efforts to
revamp its operations to support an anticipated increase in the
number of new systems going forward. The increase is also related
to higher rent, as during the fourth quarter of 2021, a new
operating lease agreement of office and warehouse combination space
commenced. This new space will combine the Company’s two separate
work locations into one facility, which will allow for greater
collaboration and also accommodate a larger anticipated workforce
and manufacturing facility. The increase in research and
development costs was also driven by customer demand for the
development of new components related to our technology
systems.
Loss from Operations
The loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022
and 2021 were $2,641,618 and $1,822,300, respectively. The increase
in losses from operations was primarily the result of lower
revenues recorded in the quarter as a consequence of delays in the
start of new projects and delays in the receipt of materials for
production. There was also higher relative cost of sales related to
higher costs of materials resulting from supply chain disruptions
and inflation.
Other Income/Expense
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2,998
compared to other income of $1,416,277 in the comparative period of
2021. The change is primarily due to PPP loan forgiveness recorded
in the first quarter of 2021.
Net Loss
The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was
$2,644,616 and $406,023, respectively. The increase in net loss was
mostly attributed to lower revenue in the current quarter and the
PPP loan forgiveness recorded in the first quarter of 2021. Net
loss per common share was $0.49 and $0.11 for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital surplus of
$2,540,856 and a net loss of $2,644,616.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $827,733 and $1,296,424, respectively.
The decrease in net cash used in operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 was the result of lower expenditures related
to current technology systems projects due to the timing of project
award and delays in the receipt of materials. In addition, there
are several changes in assets and liabilities compared to the
previous period that decreased the use of cash in operations,
notably the change in accounts receivable due to the timing of
project invoicing milestones and cash receipts.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $102,078 and $58,105, respectively,
representing an increase in the purchase of various fixed assets
for computer equipment and product development.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $5,365,954 and $4,457,342,
respectively. Cash flows provided by financing activities during
the three-month period in 2022 were primarily attributable to net
proceeds of approximately $5,500,000 from the successful sale of
common stock under the the Company’s “shelf registration”
statement. Cash flows from financing activities during the
three-month period in 2021 were primarily attributable to the
issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for
$4,500,000.
During 2022, we funded our operations through the sale of our
equity (or equity linked) securities, and through revenues
generated and cash received from ongoing project execution,
services and associated maintenance revenues. As of May 10, 2022,
we have cash on hand of approximately $4,030,000. We have
approximately $165,500 in monthly lease and other mandatory
payments, not including payroll and ordinary expenses which are due
monthly.
On a long-term basis, our liquidity is dependent on continuation
and expansion of operations and receipt of revenues. We believe our
current capital and revenues are sufficient to fund such expansion
and our operations over the next twelve months, although we are now
less dependent on timely payments by our customers for projects and
work in process. However, we expect such timely payments to
continue. Material cash requirements will be satisfied within the
normal course of business including substantial upfront payments
from our customers prior to starting projects. In some limited
cases, the Company may elect to purchase materials and supplies in
advance of contract award but where there is a high probability of
that award.
Demand for our 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. Because a major portion of our
activities is the receipt of revenues from the sales of our
products and services, our business operations may continue to be
adversely affected by our competitors and prolonged recession
periods, although these are not considered to be a factor at
present.
Liquidity
Under Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-15, Presentation of
Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC
205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether
conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability
to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within
one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take
into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that
have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial
statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the
requirement of ASC 205-40.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,644,616 for the three
months ended March 31, 2022. During the same period, net cash used
in operating activities was $827,733. The working capital surplus
and accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 were $2,540,856 and
$48,141,667 respectively. In previous financial reports, the
Company had raised substantial doubt about continuing as a going
concern. This was principally due to a lack of working capital
prior to an underwritten offering receiving net proceeds of
approximately $5,500,000 from the successful sales of common stock
which was completed during the first quarter of 2022 (the “2022
Offering”).
As previously noted, in 2021, the Company raised $4,500,000 from
existing shareholders through the issuance of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock.
Although additional investment is not assured, the Company is
comfortable that it would be able to raise sufficient capital to
support expanded operations based on an anticipated increase in
business activity. In the long run, the continuation of the Company
as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to
continue executing the plan described above, generate enough
revenue, and attain consistently profitable operations. Although
the current global pandemic related to the coronavirus (COVID-19)
has affected our operations, particularly in supply chain, we now
believe that this is expected to be an ongoing issue and our
working capital assumptions reflect this new reality. The Company
cannot currently quantify the uncertainty related to the pandemic
and its effects on our customers in the coming quarters. We have
analyzed our cash flow under “stress test” conditions and have
determined that we have sufficient liquid assets on hand to
maintain operations for at least twelve months from the date of
this report.
Management believes that, at this time, the conditions in our
market space with ongoing contract delays, the consequent need to
procure certain materials in advance of a binding contract and the
additional time needed to execute on new contracts previously
reported have put a strain on our cash reserves. However, recent
events, including a $5,500,000 injection of funds from a sale of
securities, significant recent orders and the overall stabilization
of the business, indicate that there is not a substantial doubt for
the Company to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve
months from the issuance of this report. We continue executing the
plan to grow our business and achieve profitability without the
requirement to raise additional capital for existing operations for
2022, although we may do so to fund selective opportunities that
may arise. Management has extensively evaluated our requirements
for the next twelve months and has determined that the Company
currently has sufficient cash to operate for at least that
period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our
business operations and the understanding of our results of
operations.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in
accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense
for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors
including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and
employee stock purchases based on estimated fair values.
Determining Fair Value Under ASC 718-10
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. This fair value is then
amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The
Company’s determination of fair value using an option-pricing model
is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a
number of highly subjective variables.
The Company estimates volatility based upon the historical stock
price of the Company and estimates the expected term for stock
options using the simplified method for employees and directors and
the contractual term for non-employees. The risk-free rate is
determined based upon the prevailing rate of United States Treasury
securities with similar maturities.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing
of when certain types of revenues will be recognized. The basic
principles in ASC 606 include the following: a contract with a
customer creates distinct contract assets and performance
obligations, satisfaction of a performance obligation creates
revenue, and a performance obligation is satisfied upon transfer of
control to a good or service to a customer.
Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with
customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:
|
1. |
Identify the contract with the
customer; |
|
2. |
Identify the performance
obligations in the contract; |
|
3. |
Determine the transaction
price; |
|
4. |
Allocate the transaction price to
separate performance obligations; and |
|
5. |
Recognize revenue when (or as) each
performance obligation is satisfied. |
For revenues related to technology systems, the Company recognizes
revenue over time using a cost-based input methodology in which
significant judgment is required to estimate costs to complete
projects. These estimated costs are then used to determine the
progress towards contract completion and the corresponding amount
of revenue to recognize.
Accordingly, the Company now bases its revenue recognition on ASC
606-10-25-27, where control of a good or service transfers over
time if the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an
alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date including a
profit margin or reasonable return on capital. Control is deemed to
pass to the customer instantaneously as the goods are manufactured
and revenue is recognized accordingly.
In addition, the Company has adopted ASC 606-10-55-21 such that if
the cost incurred is not proportionate to the progress in
satisfying the performance obligation, we adjust the input method
to recognize revenue only to the extent of the cost incurred.
Therefore, the Company will recognize revenue at an equal amount to
the cost of the goods to satisfy the performance obligation. To
accurately reflect revenue recognition based on the input method,
the Company has adopted the implementation guidance as set out in
ASC-606-10-55-187 through 192.
Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the
performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the
costs incurred. 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 “contract assets”. Any billings of
customers more than recognized revenues are recorded as a liability
in “contract liabilities”. However, in the event a loss on a
contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such
loss is determined.
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 intangible and other long-lived assets,
estimates of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to
determine progress towards contract completion, estimates of the
valuation of right of use assets and corresponding lease
liabilities, valuation of warrants issued with debt, and valuation
of stock-based awards. 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.
Not applicable.
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 have 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
