mission-critical solutions for law enforcement, defense, and homeland security applications. Its law enforcement and surveillance
customers include metropolitan, regional, and national law enforcement agencies, as well as domestic and international defense
agencies and organizations.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared under the United States generally accepted accounting
principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and following the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information or notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements.
They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as filed on the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on April 1, 2020. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain
all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2020, the results
of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, may not be indicative of results for a full year,
any other interim period or any future year period.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”), the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IMT and Vislink. All intercompany accounts and transactions among
consolidated entities were eliminated upon consolidation.
NOTE
1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant
accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property,
plant, and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for accounts receivable doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory
obsolescence reserve, allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of warranty reserves, contingent consideration liabilities,
and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. There have been no new or material
changes to the accounting estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, that
are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.
Risks
and Uncertainties
We are subject to risks and uncertainties
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of this pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain
and difficult to predict, as the response to this plight may still be in its emerging stages, and information is rapidly evolving.
The capital markets and economies worldwide experienced inopportune circumstances from the COVID-19 pandemic, and such adverse
events may cause a local or global economic recession. Any economic disruption could have a disadvantageous material effect on
our business and reduce our capital resources and access to capital, with possible unfavorable implications on our financial condition
and results of operations. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support their industries
and economies, but the magnitude and overall effectiveness of these interventions remain uncertain.
The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic’s
impact on the Company’s business depends on several factors, including the pandemic’s duration and effect on the Company’s
customers, which cannot be predicted at this time. There may also be an adverse impact on the Company’s future results of
operation and liquidity, and the Company may experience delays in payments of outstanding accounts receivable, supply chain disruptions,
and weakening demand.
It is uncertain to what extent the COVID-19
pandemic may materially impact the Company’s financial condition, amongst any initiatives or programs that the Company may
undertake, if any, as of the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company
can give no assurance that a material impact on the Company’s financial condition has not resulted or will not result in
the future.
Inventories
The
Company records inventory at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal,
and transportation. Inventory valuation adjustments are on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019.
NOTE
1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue
Recognition
We account for the Company’s operating
results under ASC Topic 606 adopted on January 1, 2019. It is a comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires revenue
to be recognized when the Company transfers control of the promised goods or services to our customers at an amount that reflects
the consideration that we expect to receive. The application of ASC Topic 606 requires us to use more judgment and make more estimates
than under previously issued guidance.
The
Company generates all its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance
obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration
that we expect to receive in exchange for those services.
The
Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
1.
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
2.
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3.
Determination of the transaction price;
4.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.
Recognition of revenue, when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
At
contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in our contracts with customers and identifies a performance
obligation for each. To determine the performance obligations, the Company considers all the products and services promised in
the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. The timing of satisfaction
of the performance obligation is not subject to significant judgment. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration we expect
to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. Excluded from income are the value-added sales taxes, and other charges
we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities.
Remaining
performance obligations, or backlog, represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining obligations
that the Company has not performed under its customer contracts. The Company has elected to use the optional exemption in ASC
606-10-50-14, which exempts an entity from such disclosures if a performance obligation is part of a contract with an original
expected duration of one year or less.
Leases
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We recognize lease expense for lease payments on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. The Company includes operating leases as ROU assets as “Right of use assets, operating leases” in
the consolidated balance sheets. For lease liabilities, operating lease liabilities are included in “Operating lease obligations,
current” and “Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion,” in the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments for all leases
with a term longer than 12 months. There is no separation of lease and non-lease components for all our contracts of real estate.
The
ROU. asset and related lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842 are calculated based on the present value of the lease
payments using (1) the rate implicit in the lease or (2) the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate
(“IBR”), defined as the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis
over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a comparable economic environment. As most of our leases do not
provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rates based on an analysis of prior collateralized
borrowings over similar terms of the lease payments at the commencement date, to estimate the IBR under ASC 842. There were
no capital leases, which are now titled “finance leases” under ASC 842, in the Company’s lease portfolio as
of March 31, 2020.
NOTE
1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes following ASC 718 “Compensation
– Stock Compensation,” which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation
over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option
Pricing Model. The fair value of common stock issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the
date of issuance.
Under
ASU 2018-07, the scope of Topic 718 was expanded to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services
from non-employees. Equity-classified non-employee share-based payment awards are no longer measured at the earlier of the
date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s
performance is complete. Instead, they are now measured at the grant date. Non-employee share-based payment awards with
performance conditions are measured at the lowest aggregate fair value under today’s guidance, which often results in
zero value. ASU 718 aligns the accounting for non-employee share-based payment awards with performance conditions with
accounting for employee share-based payment awards under Topic 718 by requiring entities to consider the probability of
satisfying performance conditions. Current guidance requires entities to use the contractual term for the measurement of the
non-employee share-based payment awards. ASU 718 allows entities to make an award-by-award election to use either the
expected term (consistent with employee share-based payment awards) or the contractual term for non-employee
awards
Loss
Per Share
The
Company reports a loss per share under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share. The calculation of basic loss per share of common stock divides the net loss allocable
to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of
common stock equivalents. The calculation of diluted loss per share adjusts the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding
for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants for the period as determined using the
treasury stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from
the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common
stockholders is the same for periods with a net loss.
The
following table illustrates the anti-dilutive potential common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of loss per share
(in thousands):

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP
requires disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments that are recognized
or unrecognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily
representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of
realization or settlement.
In
assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates
of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable,
the Company estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All
debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair
value.
GAAP
establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the
use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs consist of items
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent
of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy
is described below:
Level
1 –
|
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, there are no fair valued assets or liabilities classified under
Level 1 as of March 31, 2020.
|
|
|
Level
2 –
|
Observable
prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data, there are no fair valued assets
or liabilities classified under Level 2 as of March 31, 2020.
|
|
|
Level
3 –
|
Unobservable
inputs are used when little or no market data is available; the fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3
inputs (see Note 7).

Foreign
Currency and Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income
The
functional currency of our foreign subsidiary is typically the applicable local currency, which is British Pounds. The translation
from the respective foreign currency to United States Dollars (US Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using an average exchange rate during the
period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive
(loss)/income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except
for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which is accumulated
and credited or charged to other comprehensive income.
Transaction
gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the
transaction date and on the reporting date. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The
Company has recognized foreign exchanges gains and losses and changes in accumulated comprehensive income approximately as follows:

Subsequent
Events
Management
has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and
determined that no events or transactions are required to be disclosed herein, except as disclosed.
Recently
Issued Accounting Principles
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for
financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss
methodology. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business
entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASC on its consolidated financial
statements.
Other
recent accounting standards issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present
or future condensed consolidated financial statements.
2
— LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The
Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $4.8 million and cash used in operating activities of $4.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company had approximately $5.8 million in working capital, $257 million in
accumulated deficits, and $2.5 million of cash on hand as of March 31, 2020.
To
mitigate any apprehension that the Company may not have the ability to continue as a going concern, we have executed a series
of events to remove doubt about the ability to sufficiently fund operations for the next 12 months. The Company also considered
the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Capital-raising
events
During
the past six months, the Company has been able to raise funds as follows successfully:
|
●
|
On
November 27, 2019, the Company closed an equity financing for 3,201,200 shares of common stock, pre-funded
warrants to purchase
11,893,100 shares of common stock and, 11,320,725 shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (collectively, the
“Reserve Shares”), for the exclusive benefit of the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the warrants. The
Company received gross proceeds of $3,988,096 from the offering, before deducting underwriting-related fees and other
offering expenses. The Company is using the net proceeds from equity financing to assist in alleviating the burden of
accumulated backorders and provide working capital for daily operating expenditures.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
On
February 14, 2020, the Company closed on an equity financing for (i) 12,445,000 shares
of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”),
as well as 12,445,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 9,333,750 shares
of Common Stock, and (ii) 14,827,200 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”),
with each Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock, together with
14,827,200 Warrants to purchase 11,120,400 shares of Common Stock. The Company received
gross proceeds of approximately $5,998,000, less offering costs of $560,000 for net proceeds
of $5,438,000.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on May 5, 2020. It was declared effective on May 13, 2020,
which may enable us to offer and sell to the public from time to time in one or more
offerings, up to $100,000,000 of common and preferred stock, warrants, or units or any
combination thereof. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing
additional capital in sufficient amounts and on terms favorable to us.
|
Strategic Initiatives
The
Company has taken the following actions to support its liquidity needs as it relates to the auspices of the COVID-19
pandemic:
|
●
|
Requiring
all employees who can work from home to work from home;
|
|
●
|
Having
employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk that all employees who perform similar
tasks might become
|
|
●
|
Entered
into, effective May 1, 2020, a new lease arrangement at two new locations in Hackettstown,
NJ, on a 90-day cycle for each site. Effectively lowering rental fees by approximately
81%.
|
|
●
|
Implemented
proactive spending reductions in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to improve liquidity,
including a partial workforce reduction, the furlough of employees, reduced discretionary
spending, resulting in approximately $5.0 million in annual savings.
|
|
●
|
Took
strategic actions to drive profitability improvements, including the recently completed
business optimization.
|
Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP’) and Liquidity
As
part of the CARES Act, approved by the President on March 27, 2020, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) can
authorize guaranteed loans under the PPP through June 30, 2020, for small businesses who meet the necessary eligibility requirements
to keep their workers on the payroll. The Company received approximately $1.2 million on April 10, 2020, under the sponsorship
of PPP, in the form of a promissory note. The PPP Loan matures April 5, 2022. It bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum,
with monthly principal and interest payments as determined by the lender, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed
below), commencing on November 5, 2020. The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan. The Promissory
Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make a payment, bankruptcy,
breaches of representations, and material adverse effects. The Company may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without
incurring any prepayment charges.
Loan
forgiveness is available for all or a portion of the PPP loan by the SBA or the associated lender. Upon an application by the
Company following the protocols set forth under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll
costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the eight weeks beginning on the approval date of the PPP Loan. For
purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee more than $100,000, prorated annually.
Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll expenses. There will be a reduction of the loan forgiveness if:
the full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced
by more than 25%. Although the Company currently believes that its use of the PPP Loan will meet the conditions for the forgiveness
of the loan, the Company cannot ensure that its PPP Loan will be forgiven, in whole or in part. The Company intends to use the
proceeds for payroll costs, and costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest
on other debt obligations.
Together,
with the above-aforementioned capital raises, the PPP loan, and the Company-wide protocols invoked as a result of the world-wide
consequences encountered from the COVID-19 health emergency, we have sufficient funds to continue our operations for at least
twelve months from the date of these financial statements. The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent
upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services, and additionally, the uncertain future
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There may be a material influence in our asset’s carrying value if we are unable to close
on some revenue-producing opportunities in the near term, and additionally, the unknown factor of how the Company’s future
financial condition may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patents
and Licenses:
On
March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had net capitalized costs of patents and licenses of $1.7 million and $1.9
million, respectively. The Company amortizes patents and licenses that have been filed over their useful lives, which range between
18.5 to 20 years. The costs of provisional patents and pending applications are not amortized until the patent is filed and is
reviewed each reporting period to determine if it is likely that the patent will be successfully filed. For the three months ended
March 31, 2020, and 2019, the amortization of patents and licenses amounted to $0.2 million each year.
Other
Intangible Assets:
The
Company’s remaining intangible assets include the trade names, technology, and customer lists acquired in its acquisition
of IMT and Vislink.
On
March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had net capitalized costs of other intangible assets of $1.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 5 — LEASES
The Company’s leasing arrangements include
agreements for office space, deployment sites, and storage warehouses, both domestically and internationally. The operating leases
contain various terms and provisions, with a remaining duration of 3 months to 4.8 years. Certain individual leases contain rent
escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. We recognize rent
expense for these types of contracts on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Additionally, the Company sublets a
portion of its space under operating leases with various lease terms at Hemel and Billerica locations, with a remaining duration
of five to ten months.
On January 24, 2020, the Company negotiated
a new lease agreement with the landlord at our Billerica location, decreasing square footage required to 8,204 from 39,237 square
feet or approximately 79%. The effective date of the new lease agreement is on March 24, 2020, with a reduced monthly obligation
expiring on December 31, 2026. Additionally, there
was an early termination of a lease agreement and the Company removed approximately $904,000 of Right-Of-Use Assets; $533,000
of Operating Lease Liabilities;$371,000 of Accumulated Amortization on the Operating Lease from the Consolidated Balance Sheet;
and recognized a lease termination gain of approximately $21,000 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive
Loss as of March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2020, ROU.
assets and lease liabilities were approximately $2.37 million, net, and $1.72 million ($0.38 million of which is current), respectively.
The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 5.0 years on March 31, 2020, with maturity dates ranging from April
2020 to December 2026. The weighted-average discount rate was 9.4% on March 31, 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020,
and 2019, the Company incurred approximately $258,000 and $297,000 of rental fees, respectively, offset by sublet income of approximately
$46,000 and $35,000, under operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019. Adjustments
for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material. As such, the majority of costs recognized is reflected
in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on
office and warehouse leases. Amounts related to short-term lease costs and taxes and variable service charges on leased properties
were immaterial. Besides, we have the right, but no obligation, to renew individual leases for various renewal terms.
The following table illustrates specific operating lease data for
the three months ending March 31, 2020, and 2019:

Level
3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the
fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s
accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures.
The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are
the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.
Level
3 Valuation Techniques:
Level
3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that
the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.
The Company deems financial instruments that do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. Under US GAAP,
the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because, according
to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant
holders. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have also been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding
changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s consolidated statements
of operations in each subsequent period.
NOTE
7 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (continued)
The
Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due
to the use of significant unobservable inputs. To calculate fair value, the Company uses a binomial model style simulation, as
the standard Black-Scholes model would not capture the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities.
The
following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at
fair value on a recurring basis:

●
|
On
February 14, 2020, the Company closed on an equity financing for 12,445,000 shares of common stock, 12,445,000 warrants to
purchase 9,333,750 shares of Common Stock, 14,827,200 pre-funded warrants, with each Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for one
share of Common Stock, and together with 14,827,200 Warrants to purchase 11,120,400 shares of Common Stock. The holders
of these warrants are limited to settlement in shares of common stock; there is no provision for net cash settlement alternatives;
therefore, the Company classified these warrants as equity. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $5,998,000,
less offering costs of $712,000 for net proceeds of $5,286,000. The Company has earmarked the use of the net proceeds from
equity financing for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Common
Stock Options
During
the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company recorded approximately $386,000 and $609,000, respectively, as stock
compensation expense from the amortization of stock options issued. As of March 31, 2020, the weighted average remaining contractual
life was 7.25 years for options outstanding and 7.13 years for options exercisable. There was no intrinsic value of the stock
options on March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining expense is approximately $0.26 million over the remaining amortization
period of 1.2 years. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information. The risk-free interest rate
is based on the implied yield available on US Treasury zero-coupon issues over the equivalent lives of the options. The expected
life of the options represents the estimated period using the simplified method. The Company has not paid dividends on its common
stock, and no assumption of dividend payment(s) is made in the model.
The
weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, which was $-0- and $0.89,
respectively. Each option is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions (all

The
risk-free rate is based on the rate for the US Treasury note over the expected term of the option. The expected term for employees
represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method, as
the Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the
expected term. For non-employee options, the expected term is the full term of the option. Expected volatility is based on the
average of the weekly share price changes over the shorter of the expected term or the period from the placement on Nasdaq
Capital Markets Exchange to the date of the grant.

CEO.
Inducement Award — Time Vested Option
On
January 22, 2020, as part of the CEO’s employment agreement, an inducement award of a ten year, non-statutory, option to
purchase 2,155,481 shares of the Company stock was granted. The award has an exercise price of $0.285, vesting commencement date
of January 22, 2020, expiration date of January 22, 2030, and the options vest as follows: 25% of the Option Shares shall vest
on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date; and, the remaining 75% will vest in substantially equal monthly installments
over the thirty-six (36) month period following the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.
For
the time vested option award, the compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of an award at the date of the grant.
The Company uses the Black Scholes-Merton formula as a valuation technique under the guidance of ASC. Topic 718 for estimating
the fair values of employee share options and similar instruments. For employee equity-classified awards, compensation cost is
recognized over the employee’s requisite service period with a corresponding credit to equity (additional paid-in capital).
The employee’s requisite service period begins at the service inception date and ends when the requisite service has been
provided. In determining the award’s grant-date fair value, the following assumptions were used (all in weighted averages):

The
risk-free rate is based on the rate for the US Treasury note over the expected term of the option. The expected term for
employees represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method, as the
Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the
expected term. For non-employee options, the expected term is the full term of the option. Expected volatility is based on
the average of the weekly share price changes over the shorter of the expected term or the period from the placement on Nasdaq
Capital Markets Exchange to the date of the grant. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical
information. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on US Treasury zero-coupon issues over the
equivalent lives of the options. The expected life of the options represents the estimated period using the simplified
method. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock, and no assumption of dividend payment(s) is made in the
model.
The
weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019 was $0.275 and $-0-, respectively.
As of March 31, 2020, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 9.82 years for options outstanding and options exercisable,
respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercisable at March 31, 2020, was $-0-.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company recorded approximately $18,000 and $-0-, respectively, as stock compensation
expense from the amortization of time vested stock options issued. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining stock compensation expense
is approximately $574,000, with 3.81 years remaining for the amortization period.

On
January 22, 2020, as part of the CEO’s employment agreement, an inducement award of a ten year, non-statutory, option to
purchase 1,500,000 shares of the Company stock was granted. The award has an exercise price of $0.285, vesting commencement date
of January 22, 2020, expiration date of January 22, 2030. The Option Shares will vest in three (3) equal tranches upon attainment
of the following applicable performance conditions for each tranche; provided that the Executive remains in continuous employment

As

The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the performance-based award was approximately $414,000 as of March 31, 2020.
When the Company determines that the remaining performance metrics’ achievement becomes probable, the Company will record
a cumulative catch-up stock-based compensation amount, and the remaining unrecognized amount will be recorded over the remaining
requisite service period of the awards.

NOTE
9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal:
The
Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal theories. The defense of such claims, or
any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial
condition, and cash flows. According to ASC Topic 450’s provision that a company must accrue a loss contingency if the information
is available before the issuance of the financial statements, it has been determined that based upon a lawsuit filed by Hale Capital
Partners, LP (“Hale”) against the Company on July 29, 2019, the Company may be potentially liable for professional
fees incurred by Hale for a due diligence transaction in the amount of $140,000. The Company deems these fees excessive and is
vigorously defending the claim, including asserting counterclaims against Hale. This amount was accrued and included in accrued
expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. There were no other material legal actions pending.
Pension:
The
Company, at its discretion, may make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in which its employees participate. For the three
months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not make matching contributions.
The
Company currently operates a Group Personal Pension Plan in its UK subsidiary, and funds are invested with Royal London. UK employees
are entitled to join the plan to which the Company contributes varying amounts subject to status. Also, the Company operates a
stakeholder pension scheme in the UK for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, and the Company made matching contributions
of $43,000 and 33,000, respectively.
Nasdaq
Compliance:
On
September 26, 2019, we received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market L.L.C. (“Nasdaq”) indicating that
the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as the Company’s closing bid price was below $1.00
per share for the previous thirty (30) consecutive business days.
The
Company was subject to an initial 180-calendar day compliance period granted through the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), or
until March 24, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements. On March 25, 2020, the Company received notice
from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has
determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until September 21, 2020, to regain compliance. The
Nasdaq staff’s determination was based on (i) the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for the market value
of its publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and
(ii) the Company providing written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period,
if necessary by effecting a reverse stock split. If at any time during this second 180-day period, the closing bid price of the
Common Stock is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq has stated that they will provide
the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by September 21, 2020, Nasdaq will provide
written notification that the Common Stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination
to its hearings panel.
NOTE
9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
Nasdaq
Compliance (continued):
On
April 17, 2020, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that Nasdaq has determined to toll the compliance periods for
bid price and market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) requirements (collectively, the “Price-based Requirements”)
through June 30, 2020. As a result, companies presently in compliance periods or any Price-based Requirements will remain at that
same stage of the process and will not be subject to being delisted for these concerns. Starting on July 1, 2020, companies will
receive the balance of any pending compliance period in effect at the start of the tolling period to regain compliance.
Accordingly,
since the Company had 158 calendar days remaining in its bid price compliance period as of April 16, 2020, it will, upon reinstatement
of the Price-based Requirements, still have 158 calendar days from July 1, 2020, or until December 7, 2020, to regain compliance.
The Company can regain compliance, either during the suspension or during the compliance period resuming after the suspension,
by evidencing compliance with the Price-based Requirements for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. If the Company does not
regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will
provide notice that the Company’s shares of common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company intends to monitor its
closing bid price for its common stock between now and December 7, 2020, and will consider available options to resolve the Company’s
noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement, as may be necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise comply with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
On
April 30, 2020, Vislink Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a public reprimand letter (the “Letter”)
from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market L.L.C. (“Nasdaq”).
The Letter notified the Company that it’s recent offering of 12,445,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share,
of the Company (“Common Stock”), pre-funded warrants to purchase 14,827,200 shares of Common Stock, and warrants to
purchase up to 20,454,150 shares of Common Stock, completed on February 14, 2020 (the “Offering”) did not satisfy
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) because (a) the Staff determined that the Offering did not meet the Nasdaq definition of a public
offering under Listing Rule IM-5635-3 and (b) the Offering involved the issuance of 20% or more of the pre-transaction shares
outstanding at less than the minimum price, as defined by Nasdaq rules. Consequently, the Staff determined that approval by the
shareholders of the Company was required for the Offering, and because such shareholder approval was not received, the Staff concluded
that the Company violated the Nasdaq’s shareholder approval rules. Additionally, the Letter notified the Company that on
two separate occasions following transactions completed in November 2019 and February 2020, the Company failed to file a Change
in Outstanding Shares form, as required by Listing Rule 5250(e)(1), which filings were subsequently made on March 12, 2020.
The
Staff determined that delisting the Company’s Common Stock was not an appropriate sanction and closed its review by issuing
the public reprimand letter under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(4). As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2020, based on Nasdaq’s published rules and published guidance
at the time of the Offering, the Company believed the Offering was a “public offering” under Rule 5635(d). The receipt
of the Letter does not affect the listing of the Company’s Common Stock.
If
the Company’s common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and is not eligible for quotation on another market
or exchange, trading of its common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board
established for unlisted securities such as those sponsored by the OTC. Markets Group. In such event, it could become more difficult
to dispose of or obtain accurate price quotations for, the Company’s common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction
in the Company’s coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of its common stock to
decline further. Also, if not listed on a major exchange, the Company may have difficulty in raising additional capital.
NOTE
10 — CONCENTRATIONS

On
March 31, 2020, approximately 15% from one vendor and two vendors at 11% each of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable
was generated from a total of three vendors for approximately $634,000, $494,000 and $459,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2019,
the Company did not record accounts payable to a single vendor exceeding 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable.

Paycheck
Protection
Program (“PPP”)
As part of the CARES Act, approved by the
President on March 27, 2020, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) can authorize guarantee loans under the PPP
through June 30, 2020, for small businesses who meet the necessary eligibility requirements to keep their workers on the payroll.
The Company received approximately $1.2 million on April 10, 2020, under the sponsorship of PPP, in the form of a promissory note.
The PPP Loan matures April 5, 2022. It bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum, with monthly principal and interest
payments as determined by the lender, less the amount of any potential forgiveness, commencing on November 5, 2020. The Company
did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan. The Promissory Note provides for customary events of default, including,
among others, those relating to failure to make a payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations, and material adverse effects.
The Company may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.
