~~The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated statements.~~

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of Track Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Track Group”) has been prepared in accordance with the Instructions to Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation ~~S-X~~S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, and results of its operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2020,~~ 2021, filed with the SEC on December ~~23, 2020.~~ 16, 2021. The results of operations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

As of ~~June~~December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, ~~and September 30, 2020,~~ the Company had an accumulated deficit of ~~$297,565,167~~$299,133,849 and ~~$302,270,933,~~$298,828,527, respectively. The Company had ~~net income of $4,705,766 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and incurred~~ a net loss of ~~$1,539,622~~$(305,322) and a net income of $1,323,494 for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company may ~~continue to~~ incur losses and require additional financial resources. ~~The~~As of December 31, 2021, the Company ~~also has~~had $42,864,000 of debt maturing in July 2024 and six notes payable maturing between ~~February~~January 2, 2024 and February 17, 2025 related to the construction of two monitoring centers in Chile totaling ~~$1,776,876 at June 30, 2021. See~~$1,306,136 (See Note ~~19.~~19). The Company’s ~~transition to~~continuation of profitable operations is dependent upon generating a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure, which it has achieved on an operating basis, although the Company needs to resolve its debt obligation which matures on July 1, 2024. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and has determined that the Company can meet its operating obligations for a reasonable period of time. The Company expects to fund operations using cash on hand and through operational cash flows through the upcoming twelve months.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Track Group, Inc. and its active subsidiaries, Track Group Analytics Limited, Track Group Americas, Inc., Track Group International LTD., and Track Group - Chile SpA. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies, which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

~~In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“~~~~ASU~~~~”) No. 2016-02, “~~~~Leases (Topic 842)”~~. For lessees, the amendments in this update require that for all leases not considered to be short term, a company recognize both a lease liability and right-of-use asset on its balance sheet, representing the obligation to make payments and the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this update were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on October 1, 2019. See Note 16 for the impact the adoption had on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU ~~2017-04,~~2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the ~~two-step~~two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new guidance for accelerated filing companies ~~will be~~became effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and all other entities should adopt the amendments in this update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Management does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-13,~~2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU ~~2016-13~~2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU ~~2016-13 is~~2016-13 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, excluding smaller reporting entities, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company will adopt ASU ~~2016-13~~2016-13 in fiscal year 2023. The Company does not expect the application of the CECL impairment model to have a significant impact on our allowance for uncollectible amounts for accounts receivable.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable and in the case of goodwill, at least annually. The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment as of each balance sheet date. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there is an identifiable fair value that is independent of other groups of assets.

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASC 805,“Business ~~Combinations”~~Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

Pursuant to ASC No. ~~805-10-25,~~805-10-25, if the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, but during the allowed measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, by means of adjusting the amount recognized for goodwill.

In certain acquisitions, the Company has agreed to pay additional amounts to the seller contingent upon achievement by the acquired businesses of certain future goals, which may include revenue milestones, new customer accounts, and earnings targets. The Company records contingent consideration based on its estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The Company evaluates and adjusts the value of contingent consideration, if necessary, at each reporting period based on the progress toward and likely achievement of certain targets on which issuance of the contingent consideration is based. Any differences between the acquisition-date fair value and the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are recognized in current period earnings until the arrangement is settled. If there is uncertainty surrounding the value of contingent consideration, then the Company’s policy is to wait until the end of the measurement period before making an adjustment.

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) as currently reported under GAAP and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) considers the effects of additional economic events, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, that are not required to be recorded in determining net income (loss), but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Chilean Peso, New Israeli Shekel and the Canadian Dollar are used as functional currencies of the following operating subsidiaries: (i) Track Group Chile SpA; (ii) Track Group International Ltd.; and (iii) Track Group Analytics Limited, respectively. The balance sheets of all subsidiaries have been converted into United States Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021.

Basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 15,000 and 685,259 outstanding common share equivalents that were not included in the computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, ~~551,486~~415,511 stock options and warrants had exercise prices that were below the market price of ~~$2.75,~~$2.28, and have been included in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, all stock option and warrant exercise prices were above the market price of ~~$0.25, respectively,~~$0.34 and thus have not been included in the basic earnings per share calculation.

The common stock equivalents outstanding as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and ~~June 30,~~ 2020 consisted of the following:

Monitoring and Other Related Services. Monitoring services include two components: (i) lease contracts pursuant to which the Company provides monitoring services and lease devices to distributors or end users and the Company retains ownership of the leased device; and (ii) monitoring services purchased by distributors or end users who have previously purchased monitoring devices and opt to use the Company’s monitoring services. Sales of devices and leased GPS devices are required to use the Company’s monitoring service and both the GPS leased devices and monitoring services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Monitoring revenue is recognized ratably over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of these services as they are performed. Payment due or received from the customers prior to rendering the associated services are recorded as ~~a contract liability.~~deferred revenue. The balance of accounts receivables at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and October 1, 2020 are $6,490,046, $7,163,615 and $5,546,213, respectively. The balances of ~~accounts receivable, net~~ the deferred revenue at December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021 and ~~contract liabilities at~~ October 1, ~~2019 were $6,763,236~~2020 are $96,790, $22,500 and ~~$389,229, respectively. The balance of the contract liabilities at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 were $14,021 and $147,921,~~$146,458, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized ~~$42,062~~$7,500 and ~~$133,997~~$48,816 of deferred revenue in the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 ~~respectively,~~ and ~~$70,346 and $219,404 of deferred revenue in the three and nine months ended June 30,~~December 31, 2020, respectively.

Product Sales and Other. The Company sells devices and replacement parts to customers under certain contracts, as well as law enforcement software licenses and maintenance, and analytical software. Revenue from the sale of devices and parts is recognized upon their transfer of control to the customer, which is generally upon delivery. Delivery is considered complete at either the time of shipment or arrival at destination, based on the agreed upon terms within the contract. Payment terms are generally 30 days from invoice date.

Multiple Element Arrangements. The majority of our revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. However, on occasion, the Company may enter into revenue transactions that have multiple elements. These may include different combinations of products or services that are included in a single billable rate. These products or services are delivered over time as the customer utilizes our services. In cases where obligations in a contract are distinct and thus require separation into multiple performance obligations, revenue recognition guidance requires that contract consideration be allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The value allocated to each performance obligation is then recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for each distinct promise or bundle of promises has been met.

The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the good or service. When there is only one performance obligation associated with a contract, the entire sale value is attributed to that obligation. When a contract contains multiple performance obligations the transaction value is first allocated using the observable price, which is generally a list price net of applicable discount or the price used to sell in similar circumstances. In circumstances when a selling price is not directly observable, the Company will estimate the standalone selling price using information available to us.

The Company additionally filed a motion for annulment with the Federal Administrative Tribunal on August 4, 2021. The Company was notified on January 6, 2022 that the OADPRS had filed their answer on November 12, 2021. On January 25, 2022, the Company filed its reply, and a ruling is ~~pending.~~anticipated in approximately 2-3 months. Based upon the fee arrangement the Company has with its counsel, we anticipate the future liabilities attributable to legal expense will be minimal.

~~Blaike Anderson v. Track Group, Inc., et. al.~~On June 24, 2019, Blaike Anderson filed a complaint seeking unspecified damages in the State Court of Marion County, Indiana, alleging liability on the part of defendants for providing a defective ankle monitoring device and failure to warn plaintiff regarding the condition thereof. The Company removed the matter to federal court and subsequently filed its answer denying Plaintiff’s allegations in August 2019. On July 1, 2021 the parties reached a settlement, and the case was dismissed with prejudice on July 22, 2021 pursuant to a joint stipulation of the parties.

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, through its Trustees v. International Surveillance Services Corporation. On January 23, 2020, the Company was served with a summons for an Adversary Action pending against International Surveillance Services Corporation (“ISS”), a subsidiary of the Company, now known as Track Group – Puerto Rico Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico seeking to avoid and recover allegedly constructive fraudulent transfers and to disallow claims pursuant to United States Bankruptcy and Puerto Rican law. The allegations stem from payments made to ISS between 2014 and 2017, which the Company believes were properly made in accordance with a contract between ISS and the government of Puerto Rico, through the Oficina de Servicios con Antelacion a Juicio, originally signed in 2011. The Company is confident that all payments it received were earned and due under applicable law and has produced documentation supporting its position in an informal document exchange with the Commonwealth on July 6, 2020. On August 26, 2021, the Court entered an order staying the Adversary Action pending the Court’s confirmation of the Commonwealth’s Proposed Plan of Adjustment. In accordance with the terms of the August 26, 2021 order, the Company moved to lift the stay on January 11, 2022, though that motion was denied without prejudice on February 4, 2022. The ~~parties remain in discussion regarding~~court ruled that the Company may file a ~~resolution~~motion to recommence the ~~matter.~~proceeding after the expiration of thirty days following the Effective Date of the Plan, which is projected to be March 15, 2022.

Eli Sabag v. Track Group, Inc., et al. On March 12, 2020, Eli Sabag commenced an arbitration with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, Case Number ~~01-20-0003-6931.~~01-20-0003-6931. The arbitration claim, as it pertains to the Company, alleges breach of the Share Purchase Agreement (“~~SPA”~~SPA”) between the Company and Sabag. Sabag alleges that the Company breached the SPA because it failed to pay him his earn-out after it sold or leased a sufficient number of GPS Global Tracking devices to meet the earn-out milestone, or alternatively, breached the SPA by failing to act in “good faith” to allow Sabag to achieve his earn-out. Sabag further claims that the Company fraudulently induced Sabag to sell GPS Global Tracking and Surveillance System Ltd. to the Company. The Company has entered its appearance and on July 17, 2020, filed its Answer denying the allegations of the claim and asserting numerous defenses. The Company continues to vigorously defend against the allegations. An arbitration is scheduled for April 2022. The Company has not accrued any potential loss after consultation with outside legal counsel.

Jeffrey Mohamed Abed v. Track Group, Inc., et al. On June 7, 2021, Jeffrey Mohamed Abed filed a complaint seeking unspecified damages in the Superior Court of the State of California in Case No.21 STCV 21345, alleging strict products liability, negligence and breach of implied warranty premised upon injuries sustained by ~~the Plaintiff~~Abed who was involved in an automobile accident while wearing a GPS tracking device of the Company. The Company was served on October 15, 2021 and filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses on November 12, 2021. On January 11, 2022 the Company issued discovery, and the discovery process remains ongoing. The Company disputes Abed’s claims and will defend the case vigorously. No accrual for a potential loss has ~~not yet~~ been ~~served~~made as we believe the probability of incurring a material loss is remote.

Track Group Chile SpA. v. Republic of Chile. On January 24, 2022, Track Group Chile SpA. initiated a judicial action in the Court of Justice of Chile to settle a contract dispute with the ~~lawsuit.~~Republic of Chile. The Company asserts that it has complied with its contractual obligations and that any delays in so doing were not attributable to the Company. The Company remains confident in its position and no accrual for a potential loss has been made, after consultation with legal counsel.

The Company leases monitoring equipment to its customers with contract terms varying from month-to-month to several years and each daily contract price varies. Devices supplied to customers are not serial number unique and a single device may be used by multiple customers over its useful life. If a leased device is returned for repair, it will likely be replaced with a different device from a different customer or possibly a new device.

The Company’s tracking devices are considered operating leases under ASC 842 as transfer of control of the asset does not occur at the end of the lease, a single device is not specific to a customer and devices may be used by multiple customers throughout their life cycle. Due to the movement of devices from customer to customer, relatively few long-term contracts, the measurement of the equipment life and the present value of the equipment’s fair values would not be a measurement to qualify the devices as sales-type leases. No change to the Company’s accounting treatment of devices occurred with the adoption of ASC 842.

Operating lease revenue associated with the Company’s monitoring equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are shown in the table below:

As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, Company has two performance bonds in connection with a foreign customer totaling ~~$2,508,585,~~$2,169,380 (“Performance Bonds”), of which ~~$1,755,976~~$1,518,537 is held in an interest-bearing account on behalf of the customer and is recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining amount of ~~$752,609~~$650,843 is guaranteed by a foreign financial institution on behalf of the Company. The amounts held on the two Performance Bonds will be released approximately 90 days after the expiration of the Performance Bonds, which expire as follows: ~~$327,945~~$283,601 on January 18, 2022 and ~~$1,428,031~~$1,234,937 on July 2, 2024.

In March 2021, the Company ~~has~~ placed a ~~$714,032~~$617,483 deposit into an interest-bearing account with a financial institution to replace the performance bond expiring on July 2, 2024, whereby the portion guaranteed by the financial institution will increase from 30% to 65% of the total bond. The current bond expiring July 2, 2024 will be released following completion of the transaction.

The Company pays interest on the full amount of the Performance Bonds to the financial institution providing the guarantee at 3.5% interest per annum for the Performance Bond expiring in January 2022 and 2.8% interest per annum for the Performance Bond expiring in July 2024. ~~Related~~The Company recorded interest expense ~~recorded~~ for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of ~~$43,490. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020 the Company expensed $12,484 related to the Performance Bond which expires on January 18, 2022.~~$32,145 and $18,462, respectively.

~~(24) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~On January 5, 2022, the Company made a payment to Conrent of $876,331 for interest due under the Amended Facility (See Note 19).

In accordance with the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC 855, we have evaluated subsequent events, through the filing date and noted no subsequent events other than those noted above that are reasonably likely to impact the financial statements.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in ~~“Risk Factors”~~“Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and those described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ~~(“SEC”~~(“SEC”).

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are contained in this Report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this Report. Except as otherwise indicated, as used in this Report, the terms the “Company”, “Track Group”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Track Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Our core business is based on the leasing of patented tracking and monitoring solutions to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, both in the U.S and abroad, for the electronic monitoring of offenders and offering unique data analytics services on a platform-as-a-service (“PaaS”) business model. Currently, we deploy offender-based management services that combine patented GPS tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 global monitoring capabilities, case management, and proprietary data analytics. We offer customizable tracking solutions that leverage real-time tracking data, best practices monitoring, and analytics capabilities to create complete, end-to-end tracking solutions.

Our devices consist principally of the ~~ReliAlert~~^TMReliAlert® product line, which is supplemented by the Shadow product line. These devices are generally leased on a daily rate basis and may be combined with our monitoring center services, proprietary software and data analytics subscription to provide an end-to-end PaaS.

ReliAlert^TM® and Shadow. Our tracking devices utilize patented technology and are securely attached around an offender’s ankle with a tamper resistant strap that cannot be adjusted or removed without detection, unless by a supervising officer, and which are activated through services provided by our monitoring centers. The ~~ReliAlert~~^TMReliAlert® and Shadow units are intelligent devices with integrated computer circuitry, utilizing both GPS and RF, and constructed from case-hardened plastics designed to promptly notify the intervention centers of any attempt made to breach applicable protocols, or to remove or otherwise tamper with the device or optical strap housing. The ~~ReliAlert~~^TMReliAlert® platform also incorporates voice communication technology that provides officers with 24/7/365 voice communication with the offenders. Both devices are FCC, CE and PTCRB certified and protected by numerous patents and trademarks.

Monitoring Center Services. Our monitoring center facilities provide live 24/7/365 monitoring of all alarms generated from our devices, as well as customer and technical support. Our monitoring center operators play a vital role, and as such, ~~we staff~~ our centers are staffed with highly trained, bi-lingual individuals. These operators act as an extension of agency resources receiving alarms, communicating, and intervening with offenders regarding violations, and interacting with supervision staff, all pursuant to agency-established protocols. The facilities have redundant power source, battery back-up and triple redundancy in voice, data, and IP. The Company has established monitoring centers in the U.S. and Chile. In addition, the Company has assisted in the establishment of monitoring centers for customers and local partners in other global locations.

Data Analytics Services. Our ~~TrackerPAL~~^TMIntelliTrack, TrackerPAL® software, ~~TrackerPAL~~^TMIntelliTrack Mobile, TrackerPAL® Mobile, combined with our Data Analytic analysis tools, provide an integrated platform allowing case managers and law enforcement officers quick access views of an offender’s travel behavior, mapping, and inference on patterns. Our advanced data analytics service offers a highly complex predictive reporting mechanism that combines modern statistical methods, developed using computer science and used by intelligence agencies that separate noteworthy events from normal events, rank offender cases according to their need for supervision, and relate decision-relevant metrics to benchmarks in real-time.

Other Services. The Company offers smartphone applications specifically designed for the criminal justice market, including a domestic violence app that creates a mobile geo-zone around a survivor and an alcohol monitoring app linked to a police-grade breathalyzer.

We are committed to helping our customers improve offender rehabilitation and re-socialization outcomes through our innovative hardware, software, and services. We treat our business as a service business. Although we still manufacture patented tracking technology, we see the physical goods as only a small part of the integrated offender monitoring solutions we provide. Accordingly, rather than receiving a payment just for a piece of manufactured equipment, the Company receives a recurring stream of revenue for ongoing device agnostic subscription contracts. As part of our strategy, we continue to expand our device-agnostic platform to not only collect, but also store, analyze, assess and correlate location data for both accountability and auditing reasons, as well as to use for predictive analytics and assessment of effective and emerging techniques in criminal behavior and rehabilitation. We believe a high-quality customer experience along with knowledgeable ~~salespersons~~salespeople who can convey the value of our products and services greatly enhances our ability to attract and retain customers. Therefore, our strategy also includes building and expanding our own direct sales force and our third-party distribution network to effectively reach more customers and provide them with a world-class sales and post-sales support experience. In addition, we are developing related-service offerings to address adjacent market opportunities in both the public and private sectors. We believe continual investment in research and development (“R&D”), including smartphone applications and other monitoring services is critical to the development and sale of innovative technologies and integrated solutions today and in the future.

From time to time, management reviews and evaluates certain accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial position.

A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies that affect the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the SEC on December ~~23, 2020.~~16, 2021. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We assess the reasonableness of our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, right of use assets, estimated useful lives, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, legal matters and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience as well as available current information on a regular basis. Management uses this information to form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local and international laws and regulations. We are not involved in any pending or, to our knowledge, threatened governmental proceedings, which would require curtailment of our operations because of such laws and regulations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted both the Company’s revenue and costs by disrupting its operations in Chile, causing shortages within the supply chain and postponing sales opportunities as some government agencies delay new RFP (Request for Proposal) ~~processes.~~processes or decisions. (See Item 1A - Risk Factors). Notwithstanding the challenges, the monitoring being performed by the Company’s significant customers across the globe have remained operational as have key business partners providing manufacturing and call center ~~services. Furthermore,~~services and at this time, the Company has not experienced unusual payment interruptions from any large ~~customers~~customers. As the conditions have improved with respect to COVID-19, both our Chile office and the ~~majority of Company employees are effectively working from home to mitigate the challenges created by COVID-19, although there are now plans to reopen offices~~corporate headquarters in the ~~US and Chile later this year.~~greater-Chicago area have recently reopened. However, the Company is operating in a rapidly changing environment so the extent to which COVID-19 impacts its business, operations and financial results from this point forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include the following: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the development of widespread testing or a vaccine; the ability of our supply chain to meet the Company’s need for equipment; the ability to sell and provide services and solutions if shelter in place restrictions and people working from home are extended to ensure employee safety; the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates and the subsequent effect on international transactions; and any closures of clients’ offices or the courts on which they rely.

Three Months Ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020

For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, the Company recognized total revenue from operations of ~~$10,307,820~~$9,595,656 compared to ~~$8,483,910~~$9,401,905 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, an increase of ~~$1,823,910~~$193,751 or approximately ~~21%~~2%. The ~~$1,823,910~~$193,751 increase in total revenue was largely the result of an increase in domestic monitoring revenue and other related services. For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue from monitoring and other related services of ~~$10,183,133~~$9,469,729 compared to ~~$8,325,697~~$9,271,729 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, an increase of ~~$1,857,436~~$198,000 or approximately ~~22%~~2%. This growth in monitoring and other related services revenue is more predictable than product sales. Monitoring and other related service revenue, which comprises the substantial majority of total revenue, increased due to growth by clients in Illinois, ~~Indiana,~~Canada, Chile ~~Michigan,~~ and ~~Virginia,~~Michigan, partially offset by ~~a decrease~~decreases in revenue in ~~Mexico~~Virginia, Indiana and ~~a U.S. reseller of our services.~~Mississippi.

Product sales and other revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 decreased to ~~$124,687~~$125,927 from ~~$158,213~~$130,176 in the same period in 2020, a decrease of ~~$33,526~~$4,249 or approximately ~~21%~~3%.

The industry in which the Company operates, as well as many other industries (automotive, consumer products and medical devices), have been impacted by the global semiconductor shortage initially caused by the slowdown of many chip makers and logistics companies due to COVID-19. The shortage, which could last through at least the remainder of ~~2021,~~2022, has been exacerbated by the surge in demand for a wide variety of products across several industries, all of which require varying amounts of semiconductors. As a result, until such time as chip manufacturers are able to meet global demand, our future operating results may be negatively impacted. ~~See~~ ~~Item 1A. Risk Factors~~.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, cost of revenue totaled ~~$4,671,969~~$4,795,427 compared to cost of revenue during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020 of ~~$3,862,731,~~$4,189,101, an increase of ~~$809,238~~$606,326 or approximately ~~21%~~14%. The increase in cost of revenue was largely the result of higher ~~monitoring costs of $565,012, higher commission costs of $138,874, higher server costs of $125,479, higher freight costs of $62,481 and higher~~ depreciation and amortization costs of ~~$38,589.~~$375,174, higher server costs of $113,982, higher monitoring costs of $99,596 and higher software maintenance costs of $75,489. These increases were partially offset by lower ~~lost, stolen and damaged devices of $81,515 and lower~~ repair costs of ~~$63,458.~~$61,657.

Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled ~~$521,386~~$863,849 and ~~$482,797,~~$488,675, respectively, an increase of ~~$38,589.~~$375,174. These costs represent the depreciation of ~~ReliAlert™~~ReliAlert® and other monitoring devices, as well as the amortization of monitoring software and certain royalty agreements. The increase in depreciation and amortization costs is largely due to software amortization of our new software monitoring platform and other new software initiatives of $318,953, which began on July 1, 2021, as well as an increase in depreciation expense related to the increased cost of new devices. We believe the equipment lives on which the depreciation is based are appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness. Amortization of a patent related to GPS and satellite tracking is also included in cost of sales.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, gross profit totaled ~~$5,635,851 representing an increase of $1,014,672 or approximately 22% compared to the same period last year,~~$4,800,229, resulting in a gross margin of approximately ~~55% compared to $4,621,179 or~~50%. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, gross profit totaled $5,212,804, resulting in a gross margin of approximately ~~54% during the three months ended June 30, 2020.~~55%. The ~~increase~~decrease in absolute gross profit of ~~$1,014,672~~$412,575 or ~~22%~~approximately 8% is due to ~~an increase in revenue of $1,823,910, offset by associated~~ increases in certain costs of revenue, including ~~monitoring activity, commission costs,~~depreciation and amortization, server costs, ~~freight~~monitoring costs and ~~depreciation of devices.~~software maintenance, partially offset by an increase in revenue and lower repair costs.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, general and administrative expense totaled ~~$2,868,839~~$2,498,359 compared to ~~$2,329,520~~$2,400,735 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020. The increase of ~~$539,319~~$97,624 or approximately ~~23%~~4% in general and administrative expense resulted largely from higher training and recruiting costs of $60,721, higher insurance costs of $34,219, higher legal and professional fees of ~~$271,660,~~$30,907, higher payroll and payroll taxes of ~~$123,687,~~$26,098 and higher Board of Director expenses of $17,068. These costs were offset by lower bad debt expense of ~~$58,277, higher severance expense of $42,082, higher travel and entertainment expense of $26,774 and higher insurance expense of $26,547.~~$83,299.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, selling and marketing expense ~~increased to $703,014~~totaled $697,872 compared to ~~$487,786~~$550,457 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020. The increase in expense of ~~$215,228,~~$147,415 or approximately ~~44%~~27% is principally the result of higher payroll and taxes of $71,081, higher consulting and outside service ~~expense~~expenses of ~~$103,738, higher payroll and payroll taxes of $91,165 and~~$35,557, higher travel and entertainment ~~expense~~cots of ~~$14,616.~~$19,051 and higher trade show costs of $15,215.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, research and development expense totaled ~~$332,588~~$590,852 compared to ~~$281,820~~$307,294 for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020, an~~December 31, 2020. The increase in expense of ~~$50,768~~$283,558 or approximately ~~18%. The increase~~92% resulted largely from ~~higher payroll and taxes of $39,925 and higher dues and subscriptions of $6,107. In addition, we are significantly enhancing our technology platform to improve the efficiency~~continuous improvements of our existing software, ~~firmware, user interface and automation.~~resulting in increased expense of $265,713 after our implementation of our new monitoring software. As a result of ~~these improvements, $407,839 was capitalized as~~the implementation of our new monitoring software on July 1, 2021, capitalization of developed technology decreased to $88,607 during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, ~~and $409,149~~which represents technology projects currently in development compared to the $397,402 which was capitalized in the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020. A portion of this expense would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant enhancements to the technology.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense totaled ~~$434,348~~$416,801 compared to ~~$505,585~~$531,763 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, a decrease of ~~$71,237~~$114,962 or approximately ~~14%~~22%, largely due to fully depreciated assets.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, total operating expense ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$4,338,789~~$4,203,884 compared to ~~$3,604,711~~$3,790,249 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, an increase of ~~$734,078~~$413,635 or approximately ~~20%~~11%. The increase is principally due to the factors disclosed above.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, operating income was ~~$1,297,062~~$596,345 compared to ~~$1,016,468~~$1,422,555 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, ~~an improvement~~a reduction of ~~$280,594~~$826,210 or approximately ~~28%~~58%. This ~~improvement~~reduction was due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in gross profit of ~~$1,014,672,~~$412,575, which resulted from ~~higher revenue of $1,823,910, partially offset by the~~ higher cost of revenue directly related to ~~additional~~the amortization of our new monitoring ~~devices. This increase in gross profit was~~software platform, and higher server, monitoring and software maintenance costs, partially offset by ~~an increase in operating expense~~higher revenue of ~~$734,078, primarily due to~~$193,751. In addition, the Company incurred higher general and administrative, ~~expense and higher~~ selling and marketing, and research and development costs. These increases were partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expenses in operating expense.

For the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, other income (expense) totaled expense of ($~~277,897)~~587,838) compared to other ~~(expense)~~income of ~~($87,728)~~$178,630 for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020, an increase in net expense of ~~$190,169.~~$766,468. The increase in other expense is largely due to ~~lower positive~~negative currency exchange rate movements of ~~$344,083~~$924,904 compared to the ~~third~~first fiscal quarter of ~~2020,~~fiscal 2021, partially offset by lower interest expense, net of ~~$153,914.~~$158,462. See Note 19.

~~Nine months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Nine months Ended June 30, 2020~~

For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue from operations of $29,571,555, compared to $25,036,467 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $4,535,088 or approximately 18%. Of this total revenue, $29,197,152 and $24,587,212, are from monitoring and other related services, respectively, an increase of $4,609,940 or approximately 19%. The increase in revenue was principally the result of an increase in total growth of our North American monitoring operations driven by clients in Illinois, Michigan, and Puerto Rico, partially offset by our customers in Chile, a U.S. reseller of our services, and Mexico. The decrease in revenue in Chile is largely due to a reduction in the number of offenders monitored caused by the impact of COVID-19 on the Chilean courts when compared to the same period in 2021.

~~Other revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to $374,403 from $449,255 in the same period in 2021 largely due to lower license sales and maintenance revenue and lower product sales.~~

The industry in which the Company operates, as well as many other industries (automotive, consumer products and medical devices), have been impacted by the global semiconductor shortage initially caused by the slowdown of many chip makers and logistics companies due to COVID-19. The shortage, which could last through at least the remainder of 2021, has been exacerbated by the surge in demand for a wide variety of products across several industries, all of which require varying amounts of semiconductors. As a result, until such time as chip manufacturers are able to meet global demand, our future operating results may be negatively impacted. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenue totaled $13,287,916 compared to cost of revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 of $11,312,916, an increase of $1,975,000 or approximately 17%. The increase in cost of revenue was largely the result of higher monitoring costs of $1,361,810, higher commission costs of $447,927, higher server costs of $245,326, higher freight costs of $185,306 and higher depreciation and amortization of $70,687. These costs were partially offset by lower repair costs of $162,680, lower drug testing costs of $97,882 and lower lost, stolen and damaged devices of $93,112.

Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $1,535,083 and $1,464,396, respectively. This $70,687 or approximately 5% increase in costs represents an increase in the number of devices. Devices are depreciated over a one to five-year useful life. Royalty agreements are being amortized over a ten-year useful life. The Company believes these lives are appropriate due to changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness. Amortization of a patent related to GPS and satellite tracking is also included in cost of sales.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, gross profit totaled $16,283,639, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 55%, compared to $13,723,551, or a gross margin of approximately 55% during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in absolute gross profit of $2,560,088 or 19% is due to an increase in revenue of $4,609,940, offset by associated increases in certain costs of revenue, including monitoring activity, commission costs, server costs, freight and depreciation of devices.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, general and administrative expense totaled $7,583,410 compared to $8,064,593 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $481,183 or approximately 6% in general and administrative expense resulted largely from lower payroll and taxes of $292,979, lower bad debt expense of $83,268, lower travel and entertainment expenses of $63,231 and lower consulting and outside service expenses of $36,228.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, selling and marketing expense totaled $1,867,880 compared to $1,671,767 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The $196,113, or approximately 12% increase resulted largely from higher consulting and outside service expenses of $146,218, higher payroll and taxes of $142,385, partially offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses of $80,745.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, research and development expense totaled $974,451 compared to research and development expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 totaling $901,712, an increase of $72,739 or approximately 8%. The increase resulted largely from higher payroll and taxes of $82,432 and higher dues and subscriptions of $15,658 partially offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses of $28,530. In addition, we are significantly enhancing our technology platform to improve the efficiency of our software, firmware, user interface, and automation. As a result of these improvements, $1,305,520 was capitalized as developed technology during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and $1,089,879 was capitalized during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. A portion of this expense would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant enhancements to the technology.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $1,476,178 compared to $1,530,811 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The $54,633 or approximately 4% decrease was largely the result of fully amortized assets.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, total operating expense decreased to $11,901,919 compared to $12,168,883 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $266,964 or approximately 2%. The decrease was largely due to lower general and administrative expense of $481,183 and lower depreciation and amortization expense of $54,633. These costs were partially offset by higher selling and marketing expense of $196,113 and higher research and development expense of $72,739.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, operating income was $4,381,720 compared to $1,554,668 for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of $2,827,052 or approximately 182%. This improvement was due to an increase in gross profit of $2,560,088 and a reduction in operating expense of $266,964.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, other income totaled $460,183 compared to other (expense) of ($2,481,864) for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in expense of $2,942,047 in net other expense was largely a result of positive currency exchange rate movements of $1,789,691, a gain on forgiveness of loans of $1,000,756 and lower interest expense of $147,227.

The Company had net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 totaling $4,705,766 compared to a net loss of ($1,539,622) for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, representing an improvement of $6,245,388 or approximately 406%.

The Company footprint extends to a number of countries outside the United States, and we intend to continue to examine international opportunities. As a result, our revenue and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates, transfer pricing changes, taxes and other uncertainties inherent in doing business in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are exposed to risks that are associated with changes in social, political, and economic conditions in the foreign countries in which we operate, including changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment, as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.

We had ~~$4,534,424~~$1,530,147 and ~~$6,374,742~~$1,460,567 in foreign currency revenue from sources outside of the United States for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We made and received payments in a foreign currency during the periods indicated, which resulted in foreign exchange (loss) gain of ~~$1,133,900~~$(106,278) and ~~foreign exchange loss of ($655,791)~~$818,626 in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Fluctuations in the exchange loss or gain in any given period are due to the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Chilean Peso and Canadian dollar which have been magnified by COVID-19 and government policies issued as a result of COVID-19. Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products and purchase goods and services. Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations, or financial condition. We do not use foreign currency exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments for hedging or speculative purposes. To the extent foreign sales become a more significant part of our business in the future, we may seek to implement strategies which make use of these or other instruments in order to minimize the effects of foreign currency exchange on our business.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 was completed pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021.

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed.

On January 23, 2020, the Company was served with a summons for an Adversary Action pending against International Surveillance Services Corporation (“ISS”), a subsidiary of the Company, now known as Track Group – Puerto Rico Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico seeking to avoid and recover allegedly constructive fraudulent transfers and to disallow claims pursuant to United States Bankruptcy and Puerto Rican law. The allegations stem from payments made to ISS between 2014 and 2017, which the Company believes were properly made in accordance with a contract between ISS and the government of Puerto Rico, through the Oficina de Servicios con Antelacion a Juicio, originally signed in 2011. The Company is confident that all payments it received were earned and due under applicable law and has produced documentation supporting its position in an informal document exchange with the Commonwealth on July 6, 2020. On August 26, 2021, the Court entered an order staying the Adversary Action pending the Court’s confirmation of the Commonwealth’s Proposed Plan of Adjustment. In accordance with the terms of the August 26, 2021 order, the Company moved to lift the stay on January 11, 2022, though that motion was denied without prejudice on February 4, 2022. The ~~parties remain in discussion regarding~~court ruled that the Company may file a ~~resolution~~motion to recommence the ~~matter.~~proceeding after the expiration of thirty days following the Effective Date of the Plan, which is projected to be March 15, 2022.

Eli Sabag v. Track Group, Inc., et al. On March 12, 2020, Eli Sabag commenced an arbitration with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, Case Number 01-20-0003-6931. The arbitration claim, as it pertains to the Company, alleges breach of the Share Purchase Agreement (“~~SPA”~~SPA”) between the Company and Sabag. Sabag alleges that the Company breached the SPA because it failed to pay him his earn-out after it sold or leased a sufficient number of GPS Global Tracking devices to meet the earn-out milestone, or alternatively, breached the SPA by failing to act in “good faith” to allow Sabag to achieve his earn-out. Sabag further claims that the Company fraudulently induced Sabag to sell GPS Global Tracking and Surveillance System Ltd. to the Company. The Company has entered its appearance and on July 17, 2020, filed its Answer denying the allegations of the claim and asserting numerous defenses. The Company continues to vigorously defend against the allegations. An arbitration is scheduled for April 2022. The Company has not accrued any potential loss after consultation with outside legal counsel.

Jeffrey Mohamed Abed v. Track Group, Inc., et al. On June 7, 2021, Jeffrey Mohamed Abed filed a complaint seeking unspecified damages in the Superior Court of the State of California in Case No. 21 STCV 21345, alleging strict products liability, negligence and breach of implied warranty premised upon injuries sustained by ~~the Plaintiff~~Abed who was involved in an automobile accident while wearing a GPS tracking device of the Company. The Company was served on October 15, 2021 and filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses on November 12, 2021. On January 11, 2022 the Company issued discovery, and the discovery process remains ongoing. The Company disputes Abed’s claims and will defend the case vigorously. No accrual for a potential loss has ~~not yet~~ been ~~served~~made as we believe the probability of incurring a material loss is remote.

Track Group Chile SpA. v. Republic of Chile. On January 24, 2022, Track Group Chile SpA. initiated a judicial action in the Court of Justice of Chile to settle a contract dispute with the ~~lawsuit.~~Republic of Chile. The Company asserts that it has complied with its contractual obligations and that any delays in so doing were not attributable to the Company. The Company remains confident in its position and no accrual for a potential loss has been made, after consultation with legal counsel.

Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, filed on December ~~23, 2020.~~16, 2021. You should carefully consider these risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report and other reports we file with the SEC. Should any of these risks materialize or deteriorate further, our business, financial condition and future prospects could be negatively impacted.

~~The global semiconductor shortage could impact the Company’s future results.~~

The industry in which the Company operates, as well as many other industries (automotive, consumer products and medical devices), have been impacted by the global semiconductor shortage initially caused by the slowdown of many chip makers and logistics companies due to COVID-19. The shortage, which could last through at least the remainder of 2021, has been exacerbated by the surge in demand for a wide variety of products across several industries, all of which require varying amounts of semiconductors. To meet current demand, the Company has orders for printed circuit board assemblies (~~“PCBAs”~~) required to manufacture new devices which it began receiving in May 2021. However, the lead times for certain components required by our PCBAs are now up to one year or more. As a result, until such time as chip manufacturers are able to meet global demand, our future operating results may be negatively impacted.

~~As of August 10, 2021, other than mentioned above, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the above-referenced Form 10-K.~~

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
