Historically, we sold and installed video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes and secondarily for operational efficiencies and marketing. We also provided video hosting, in-vehicle streaming video, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services to a variety of businesses and organizations. While we originally only used off-the shelf camera systems from well-known camera brands, we now source our own cameras using manufacturers in Taiwan in order for us to be more flexible in fulfilling our customer needs. We now have the capability to provide IP cameras and NVRs based on customer specifications. We still utilize ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) cameras which is a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products.

In 2014, we changed our revenue model from direct project-based sales to licensing our platform and selling IoT hardware to service providers such as telecommunications companies, integrators and other technology resellers already providing services to an existing customer base. Partnering with service providers that have an existing loyal subscriber base allows us to focus on servicing just a handful of our partners and concentrating on our technology offering. Service providers leverage their end-user infrastructure to sell, bill, and provide customer service for Iveda’s product offering. This business model provides dual revenue streams – one from hardware sales and the other from monthly licensing fees.

 

Our Taiwan-based subsidiary Iveda Taiwan, formerly known as MEGAsys, our wholly-owned subsidiary in Taiwan, specializes in deploying new, and integrating existing, video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and safe city. Iveda TaiwanSafe City. MEGAsys combines security surveillance products, software, and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Through Iveda Taiwan, we have access not only to Asian markets but also to Asian manufacturers and engineering expertise. Iveda Taiwan is our research and development arm, working with a team of developers in Taiwan.

 

Consolidation

 

Effective April 30, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Taiwan-based Sole Vision Technologies (dba(fka MEGAsys and dba Iveda Taiwan)., a company based in Taiwan. We consolidate our financial statements with the financial statements of Iveda Taiwan. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We generated accumulated losses of approximately $43 million from January 2005 through September 30, 2021 and have insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

9

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We have a significant amount of property and equipment, consisting primarily of leased equipment. We review the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. We did not make any impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and yearyears ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue and Expense Recognition

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related appropriate guidance. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

10

 

The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company had concluded its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration for the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customers’ ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, it has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligations is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further in determining whether control has been transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. Customers do not have a right to return the product other than for warranty reasons for which they would only receive repair services or replacement product. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions for product sales when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

 

10

The Company sells its products and services primarily to municipalities and commercial customers in the following manner:

 

 The majority of Iveda Taiwan sales are project sales to Taiwan customers and are made direct to the end customer (typically a municipality or a commercial customer) through its sales force, which is composed of its employees. Revenue is recorded when the equipment is shipped to the end customer and charged for service when installation or maintenance work is performed.

 

Revenues from fixed-price equipment installation contracts (project sales) are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage completed is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change.

 

Contract costs include all direct material, subcontractors, labor costs, and equipment costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

 The majority of Iveda US hardware sales are to international customers and are made through independent distributors or integrators who purchase products from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically municipalities or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The distributor retains the margin as its compensation for its role in the transaction. The distributor or integrator generally maintains product inventory or product is drop shipped from the manufacturer, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Accordingly, upon application of steps one through five above, revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the distributor or as directed by the distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement.
   
 Iveda US also sells software that include licensing fees that are paid either monthly or yearly. The revenues are recorded monthly, annualif the license is paid yearly the revenue will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective time period.

 

11

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Our current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

 

Substantially all cash is deposited in twothree financial institutions, onetwo in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central

Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC Insurance limit.

11

 

Accounts receivables are unsecured, and we are at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. At December 31, 2022 one customer out of a total of 36 customer accounts receivable accounts was 52% of the total accounts receivable. This specific customer was Chicony Power Technology Co Ltd. One customer (Chunghwa Telecom) represented approximately 9595%% of total accounts receivable of $492,752 as of December 31, 2021. This customer is aThese customers are longtime customer,customers, and we do notdon’t expect any problem with the collectability of these accounts receivable.

Revenue from two customers out of 42 total customers represented approximately 52% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. These specific customers were 1) We had $948,592 revenues (21%) from Chunghwa Telecom, 2) We had $1,385,026 revenues (31%) from Chicony Power Technology Co Ltd, (both Taiwan companies) of total revenues of $4,468,279.

 

We had revenue from two customers with greater than 1010%% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and two customers for the year ended December 31, 2021 that represented approximately 5555%% and 55% of total revenues, respectively.revenues. We had $0.8786,686 million revenues (3441%%) from Chunghwa Telecom and $0.5260,946 million from Chicony Power Technology Co. Ltd of total revenues of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We had $0.8 million revenues (4114%%) from Chunghwa Telecom and $0.3 million revenues (14%) from Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation of total revenues of $2.01,917,848 million for the year ended December 31, 2021..

 

No other customers represented greater than 1010%% of total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and yearyears ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We provide an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. For our U.S.-based segment, receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent. For our Taiwan-based segment, receivables over one year are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of September 30,December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, norespectively, an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $0 and $0 was deemed necessary for our U.S.-based segment.

 

Deposits – Current

 

Our current deposits represent tender deposits placed with local governments and major customers in Taiwan during the bidding process for new proposed projects.

 

12

Other Current Assets

 

Other current assets represent cash paid in advance to insurance companies and vendors for service coverage extending into subsequent periods.

 

Inventories

 

We review our inventories for excess or obsolete products or components based on an analysis of historical usage and an evaluation of estimated future demand, market conditions, and alternative uses for possible excess or obsolete parts. The allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventory is $0 and $0, as of September 30,December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.2021, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $13,136 and for the yearyears ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $17,801 and $15,016., respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of Iveda Taiwan. Such assets are fully amortized at December 31, 2021.

12

Deposits—Long-Term

 

Long-term deposits consist of a deposit related to the leases of Iveda Taiwan’ office space, and tender deposits placed with local governments and major customers in Taiwan as part of the bidding process, which are anticipated to be held more than one year if the bid is accepted.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from sales cut-off, depreciation, deferred rent expense, and net operating losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that represents our best estimate of such deferred tax assets that, more likely than not, will be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the year and the change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities. During 2021, we re-evaluatedreevaluated the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and determined that no current benefits should be recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

 

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as state income tax.

 

Our U.S. income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state, and local authorities. Our U.S. tax returns for the years 20172018 to 2021 are open to examination by federal, local, and state authorities.

 

Our Taiwan tax returns are subject to review and examination by the Taiwan Ministry of Finance. Our Taiwan tax return for the years 20172018 to 2021 are open to examination by the Taiwan Ministry of Finance.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans in our Taiwan-based segment.

Deferred Revenue

 

Advance payments received from customers on future installation projects are recorded as deferred revenue.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the recognition of an expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. We elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by ASC 718. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense includes compensation expense for stock-based compensation granted on or after the date ASC 718 was adopted based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of September 30,December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were estimated using the “minimum value method” as prescribed by original provisions of ASC 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Therefore, no compensation expense is recognized for these awards in accordance with ASC 718. We recognized $93,900120,581 and $801,908 of stock-based compensation expense for the nineyears ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and no stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and DecemberMarch 31, 2021, respectively.2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts0 payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate their fair values or because they are receivable or payable on demand.

 

Segment Information

 

We conduct operations in various geographic regions. The operations conducted and the customer bases located in the foreign countries are similar to the business conducted and the customer bases located in the United States. The net revenues and net assets (liabilities) for other significant geographic regions are as follows:

Furthermore, due to operations in various geographic locations, we are susceptible to changes in national, regional, and local economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy, and discretionary spending priorities that may have a material adverse effect on our future operations and results.

 

We are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit them back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. The taxes and fees are legal assessments to the customer, for which we have a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. Because we do not retain the taxes and fees, we do not include such amounts in revenue. We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable governmental agencies.

Taiwan (Republic of China) Corporate Tax

 

Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. is a subsidiary of the Company which is operating in Taiwan as a profit-seeking enterprise. Its applicable corporate income tax rate is 17%. In addition, Taiwan’s corporate tax system allows the government to levy a 10% profit retention tax on undistributed earnings for the prior year. This tax will not be provided if the company distributed the earnings before the ended of the fiscal year.year.

 

According to the Taiwan corporate income tax (“TCIT”) reporting system, the TCIT sales cut-off base is concurrent with the business tax classified as value-added type (“VAT”) which will be reported to the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) on a bi-monthly basis. Since the VAT and TCIT are accounted for on a VAT tax basis that recorded all sales on business tax on a VAT tax reporting system, the Company is bound to report the TCIT according to the MOF prescribed tax reporting rules. Under the VAT tax reporting system, sales cut-off did not take the accrual base but rather on a VAT taxable reporting basis. Therefore, when the company adopted US GAAP on accrual basis, the sales cut-off TCIT timing difference which derived from the VAT reporting system will create a temporary sales cut-off timing difference and this difference is reflected in the deferred tax assets or liabilities calculations.

NOTE 8 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations, as required by ASC No. 260, “Earnings per Share.”

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. We had net losses for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021 and the effect of including dilutive securities in the earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive for the purpose of calculating EPS. Accordingly, all options, warrants, and shares potentially convertible into common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nineThree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.6$8.4 million compared to $1.4$7.3 million as of September 30, 2021. TheMarch 31, 2022 and $0.82 million as of March 31, 2022. This increase in our cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily a resultrelated to the exercise of our stock offerings that closed April 2022 and August 2022945,900 warrants at $1.40 with net proceeds of $11.5 million with an$1.3 Million offset by of the operating losses during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. There are no legal or economic factors that materially impact our ability to transfer funds between our U.S.-based and Taiwan-based segments.

 

Net cash usedprovided in operating activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $3.3$0.17 million compared to $1.2($0.77) million net cash used during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Net cash provided in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted primarily of the $0.72 million net collection of accounts receivable offset by net loss of ($0.55) million. Other factors for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $0.35 cash provided from the reduction of inventory and other current assets offset by cash used to decrease $0.33 million of accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of the $2.4$0.67 million net loss including $0.26$0.07 million of non-cash charges (primarily common stock for services and stock option compensation), $0.4 million$0.24 of increased inventory and a decrease by $0.8$0.3 million in additional accrued expenses and an increaseoffset by a decrease of $0.1$0.3 million in accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $5,184.$0.18 million consisting primarily of the development of additional IvedaAI platforms. Net cash used by investing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $17,352.$4,696.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $12.6$1.07 million compared with $2.2$$0.15 million provided during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. This increase in our cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is related primarily to the exercise of 945,900 warrants at $1.40 with net proceeds of $1.3 Million offset by $0.25 payments against short and long term loans in Taiwan during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2022 of $0.15 million is primarily a result of the proceeds from equity offerings underwritten by Maxim Groupbank loans in April 2022 and August 2022Taiwan for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2021 consisted primarily of $2.1 million unregistered common stock sold at the U.S based operations.

We have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had approximately $29$32 million in net operating loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which will begin to expire in 2025. We did not recognize any benefit from the federal net operating loss carryforwards in 2022 or 2021. We also had approximately $2.0$5.0 million in state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire after five years.

We have limited liquidity and have not yet established a stabilized source of revenue sufficient to cover operating costs, based on our current estimated burn rate. Accordingly, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate greater revenue through increased sales and/or our ability to raise additional funds through the capital markets. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in future financing and revenue-generating efforts. Even if funding is available, we cannot assure investors that it will be available on terms that are favorable to our existing stockholders. Additional funding may be achieved through the issuance of equity or debt securities that could be significantly dilutive to the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. In addition, these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. Accordingly, such a financing transaction could materially and adversely impact the price of our common stock.

 

Substantially all of our cash is deposited in three financial institutions, two in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (“Central Deposit Insurance Corporation”) with maximum coverage of NTD 3 million. At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC insurance limit.

 

Our accounts receivable are unsecured, and we are at risk to the extent such amounts become uncollectible. Although we perform periodic evaluations of our customers’ credit and financial condition, we generally do not require collateral in exchange for our products and services provided on credit.

 

We provide an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Payment terms for our U.S.-based segment require prepayment for most products before they are shipped and monthly Sentir licensing fees, which are due in advance on the first day of each month. For our U.S.-based segment, accounts receivable that are more than 120 days past due are considered delinquent. Payment terms for our Taiwan-based segment vary based on our agreements with our customers. Generally, we receive payment for our products and services within one year of commencing the project, except that we retain 5% of the total payment amount and release such amount one year after the completion of the project. For our U.S.-based segment, we had no doubtful accounts receivable allowances for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2021.2022. For our Taiwan-based segment, we set up no doubtful accounts receivable allowances for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2021.2022. We deem the rest of our accounts receivable to be collectible based on certain factors, including the nature of the customer contracts and past experience with similar customers. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer, and we generally do not charge interest on past due receivables.

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where the Company has offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners.

Like most businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. By that time, much of our first fiscal quarter was completed. During the remainder of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company observed decreases in demand from certain customers, including primarily municipalities and commercial customers in Taiwan as well as delays in project timelines in Taiwan. The Company estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in decreases of approximately $1.2 million revenues and $0.3 million gross profit contribution for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 and $0.2 million revenues and $0.05 million gross profit contribution for the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, the Company is beginning to experience an increase in demand for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the last half of 2020.

Given the fact that the Company’s products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, the Company expects its sales will experience more volatility as a result of the changing and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is aware that many companies, including many of its suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although the Company observed significant declines in demand for its products from certain customers during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the Company believes that the impact of the COVID-19 remains too fluid and unknown, hindering the Company from determining the long-term demand for current products. The Company also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may go through several phases of varying severity and duration.

24

The Company does not expect there to be material changes to its assets on its balance sheet or its ability to timely account for those assets. The Company has also reviewed the potential impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items.

To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted its ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver products or services to customers. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm the business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist its customers and distributors as well as impact its ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present the Company does not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. The Company has taken steps to restrain and monitor its operating expenses and therefore it does not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues.

Like most companies, the Company has taken a range of actions with respect to how it operates to assure it complies with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of its employees and its ability to continue operating its business effectively. To date, the Company has been able to operate its business effectively using these measures and to maintain internal controls as documented and posted. The Company also has not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and does not expect to incur material expenditures to do so. However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future.

The actions the Company has taken so far during the COVID-19 pandemic include, but are not limited to, requiring all employees who can work from home to work from home and increasing its IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office.

The Company currently believes revenue for the year ending December 31, 2021 has been impacted due to the conditions noted. Based on the Company’s current cash position and its projected cash flow from operations, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital and or have access to sufficient capital through public and private equity and debt offerings to sustain operations for a period of one year following the date of this filing. If business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic were to be prolonged or expanded in scope, the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. The Company will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

For the periods for which financial information is presented, we do not believe that the current levels of inflation in the United States have had a significant impact on our operations. Likewise, we do not believe that the current levels of inflation in Taiwan have had a significant impact on the operations of Iveda Taiwan.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of September 30,December 31, 2022, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In December 2013, we hired Robert J. Brilon, as Chief Financial Officer who has experience in SEC reporting and disclosures. We have plans for hiring additional financial personnel and implementing additional controls and processes involving both of our financial personnel in order to ensure all transactions are accounted for and disclosed in an accurate and timely manner. There have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management’s evaluation pursuant to RuleRules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or Board override of the control.

 

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
