Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from financial statements audited by Cordovano and Honeck, LLP as indicated by its report included by the Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited financial statements at March 31, 2010 have been prepared from the records of the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2010, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
There is no provision for dividends for the quarter to which this quarterly report relates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The results of operations for the three- month period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010.

Note 6: Debt Obligations
On November 10, 2008, we entered into a purchasing agreement (the Purchasing Agreement) with a financing company (the Purchaser) for a term of 18 months under which we agreed to sell all of our accounts receivable at a discount of 0.75% (Purchasing Fee) from the face value of each invoice for every 30 days the invoice is outstanding. We are obligated to sell all of our receivables to the Purchaser, but the Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any receivables or to advance against them. The Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable outstanding for a maximum borrowing of $5,000,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances to us will be 2.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. We are required to sell the Purchaser $2,400,000 in invoices each calendar quarter or pay the minimum Purchasing Fee for any shortfall. We are required to maintain a $2,500,000 tangible net worth at all times during the term of the Purchasing Agreement (the Net Worth Covenant). The Purchasing Agreement may be renewed annually after the initial 18-month term unless either party elects not to renew, or it may be terminated by the Purchaser at any time without cause on 60 days notice to us. On March 31, 2010, the balance outstanding under the Purchasing Agreement was $542,223 and the Company was in compliance with the Net Worth Covenant.
Under the Purchasing Agreement, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance us up to 50% of eligible inventory, not to exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the outstanding advances under the accounts receivable financing or (ii) $750,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances on inventory to us will be 3.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. The financing facility is secured by a security interest in essentially all of our assets.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
On March 3, 2010, we renewed our $780,000 loan agreement with the Bank of Blue Valley by paying the principal down by $150,000 and entering into a one-year note for $479,985 in principal amount. The principal bears interest at 8%, payable monthly. The Company executed the loan agreement in order to purchase land on which the Company may use to construct a new corporate headquarters after its current lease expires. The loan is principally secured by the purchased land.
Note 7: Unearned Revenue
Deferred Warranty Revenue
The Company provides extended warranties to protect against defects in equipment for periods ranging from one to four years. The revenues related to extended warranties are recognized over the life of the extended warranty, which begins upon the expiration of the manufacturers warranty, while the product warranty costs are expensed as incurred. The Company records estimated warranty costs that may be incurred above those associated with the deferred warranty revenues as an unfulfilled warranty liability. A summary of changes in deferred warranty revenue, which is included in both current liabilities and other liabilities, is as follows:

Note 8: Shareholders Equity
Registered Direct Offering
On February 3, 2010, the Company completed a registered direct offering (the Financing Transaction) of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, Series 1 warrants to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock (the Series 1 Warrants) and Series 2 warrants to purchase up to 1,232,580 shares of common stock (the Series 2 Warrants). The initial exercise price of the Series 1 Warrants is $0.42 per share, and they are exercisable beginning six months and one day after the date of issuance until February 3, 2015. The initial exercise price of the Series 2 Warrants is $0.3833 per share, and they expire on May 4, 2010. The Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants together constitute the Warrants. Subject to certain customary exceptions, in the event of an issuance or deemed issuance by us of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) at a per share price less than the then applicable Warrant exercise price (a Dilutive Event), then the Warrant exercise price will be reduced to that new issuance price; provided, however, that the adjusted exercise price will not be below $0.42 or $0.3833, as the case may be, without prior stockholder approval (as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635). The Company paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (the Placement Agent) an aggregate fee of 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the Financing Transaction. The Placement Agent also received a five-year warrant (the Placement Agent Warrant) to purchase (i) a number of shares equal to 3.0% of the shares sold to the investors and (ii) warrants (substantially similar to a Series 1 Warrant) to purchase a number of shares equal to 3.0% of the number of shares underlying the Warrants sold to the investors (subject to reduction in number as necessary to comply with the compensation limit pursuant to applicable guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). The placement agent agreement requires us to indemnify the Placement Agent and certain of its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
Sale of Common Stock
During the first quarter 2010, the Company received proceeds of $10,665 in connection with employees purchasing 33,911 shares of its common stock under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Awards of Restricted Common Stock and Stock Options
The Company has granted to employees, consultants and directors shares of restricted common stock and options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock which vest in 2007 and future years. Stock-based compensation expense related to these awards of $220,088 and $48,528 has been recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Note 9: Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount it believes is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company incurred net operating losses during the periods shown on the condensed financial statements resulting in a deferred tax asset, all of which was fully reserved; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in $0 income taxes. The recognition of these net operating loss carry-forwards depends on the ability of the Company to generate taxable income in the future.
Certain U.S. Federal returns from inception and following are not closed by relevant statutes of limitation due to unused net operating losses reported on those returns.
The Companys policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the statements of operations. There has been no interest or penalties recognized in the condensed financial statements.
Note 10: Contingencies
On July 11, 2008, the Company was served with a summons and a complaint in which the Company and TriSquare Communications, Inc., a Missouri corporation (TriSquare), were named as defendants (a total of eleven defendants were named in this lawsuit) in a patent infringement action commenced by L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (L-3). According to the complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), the wireless microphone and related base station that TriSquare and its affiliates manufacture and import, and the Company incorporates into and sells as components of its ICOP Model 20/20-W product, infringe upon a patent held by L-3 covering a wireless microphone for use with an in-car video system.
In the ITC investigation L-3 failed to provide any expert opinion regarding infringement and did not produce any witnesses to testify on its behalf. On January 29, 2009, Mobile-Vision moved to withdraw its complaint with the ITC, and the ITC administrative law judge granted the motion.
On November 5, 2009, L-3 and the Company agreed to settlement terms in a mediation hearing. On February 22, 2010, the Company announced it had resolved all pending litigation with L-3 and that litigation between the parties had been dismissed with prejudice.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
Results of Operations
Sales
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1,909,432 and $2,248,533, respectively, a decrease of $339,101 (15.1%) due to a reduction in units sold.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1,124,759 and $1,162,370, respectively, a decrease of $37,611 (3.2%). The decline is in relation to the decrease in units shipped.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 41.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 48.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decline is due to lower margins in 2010 for certain markets.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $2,478,349 and $2,041,383 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $436,966 (21.4%).
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were $2,304,773 and $1,824,404, respectively, an increase of $480,369 (26.3%). The increase is mainly due to stock based compensation, professional services and travel costs offset by the decline in research and development projects and depreciation. The increase in professional services is due primarily to legal costs regarding the L-3 litigation, which is now settled, and the NASDAQ hearing expenses associated with maintaining our NASDAQ listing, both of which are onetime events. The increase in travel costs is attributed to trade events, activities relating to a newly formed client services team and greater focus on direct sales.
11
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $173,576 and $216,979, respectively, a decrease of $43,403 (20.0%). The decrease is the result of the completion of product development for certain products.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $245,287 and $48,528 respectively, an increase of $196,759 (405.5%). The increase is due to more options granted in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter 2009.
Other Income (Expenses)
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $66,974 and $37,035 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $29,939 (80.8%). The increase is due to the interest and factoring fees for advances on the Purchasing Agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
On March 31, 2010, the Company had $1,448,067 in cash, $1,272,137 in accounts receivable, $1,751,586 in inventory, $1,947,827 in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2,017,302 in current liabilities, for a net working capital of $4,402,315.
Operating Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $541,384 compared to net cash provided of $463,846 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net cash used from operations is mainly due to the decreases in inventory and accounts receivable in 2009. The increase is also attributed to a higher net loss in the 2010 three month period compared to the 2009 three month period.
Investing Activity Cash Flows
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $7,376, primarily for deferred patent and deposit expenses, compared to $2,759 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, for the sales and purchases of equipment.
Financing Activity Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities was $824,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily from the closing of registered direct offering along with proceeds and collections from the Purchasing Agreement, compared to net cash used of $10,493 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, substantially the proceeds and collections from the Purchasing Agreement.
Other Sources of Capital
On November 10, 2008, we entered into a purchasing agreement (the Purchasing Agreement) with a financing company (the Purchaser) for a term of 18 months under which we agreed to sell all of our accounts receivable at a discount of 0.75% (Purchasing Fee) from the face value of each invoice for every 30 days the invoice is outstanding. We are obligated to sell all of our receivables to the Purchaser, but the Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any receivables or to advance against them. The Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable outstanding for a maximum borrowing of $5,000,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances to us will be 2.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. We are required to sell the Purchaser $2,400,000 in invoices each calendar quarter or pay the minimum Purchasing Fee for any shortfall. We are required to maintain a $2,500,000 tangible net worth at all times during the term of
12
the Purchasing Agreement (the Net Worth Covenant). The Purchasing Agreement may be renewed annually after the initial 18-month term unless either party elects not to renew, or it may be terminated by the Purchaser at any time without cause on 60 days notice to us. On March 31, 2010, the balance outstanding under the Purchasing Agreement was $542,223 and the Company was in compliance with the Net Worth Covenant.
Under the Purchasing Agreement, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, advance us up to 50% of eligible inventory, not to exceed the lesser of (i) 40% of the outstanding advances under the accounts receivable financing or (ii) $750,000. The interest rate on any outstanding advances on inventory to us will be 3.5% plus the greater of LIBOR plus 2.75% or the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal. In no event shall LIBOR be less than 3%. The financing facility is secured by a security interest in essentially all of our assets.
On February 3, 2010, we completed a registered direct offering (the Financing Transaction) of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, Series 1 warrants to purchase up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock (the Series 1 Warrants) and Series 2 warrants to purchase up to 1,232,580 shares of common stock (the Series 2 Warrants). The initial exercise price of the Series 1 Warrants is $0.42 per share, and they are exercisable beginning six months and one day after the date of issuance until February 3, 2015. The initial exercise price of the Series 2 Warrants is $0.3833 per share, and they expire on May 4, 2010. The Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants together constitute the Warrants. Subject to certain customary exceptions, in the event of an issuance or deemed issuance by us of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) at a per share price less than the then applicable Warrant exercise price (a Dilutive Event), then the Warrant exercise price will be reduced to that new issuance price; provided, however, that the adjusted exercise price will not be below $0.42 or $0.3833, as the case may be, without prior stockholder approval (as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635). The Company paid the Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (the Placement Agent) an aggregate fee of 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the Financing Transaction. The Placement Agent also received a five-year warrant (the Placement Agent Warrant) to purchase (i) a number of shares equal to 3.0% of the shares sold to the investors and (ii) warrants (substantially similar to a Series 1 Warrant) to purchase a number of shares equal to 3.0% of the number of shares underlying the Warrants sold to the investors (subject to reduction in number as necessary to comply with the compensation limit pursuant to applicable guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority). The placement agent agreement requires us to indemnify the Placement Agent and certain of its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
Our Capital Requirements
We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. We intend to utilize our financing arrangement to supplement operating cash and fund operations in the near future. However, our ability to obtain sufficient advances under our financing arrangement to meet our operating capital requirements for the foreseeable future may be dependent upon our ability to generate increased accounts receivable through higher sales volumes, which cannot be assured. We will need to become profitable in the near future through generating higher revenues or lowering operating costs, or a combination of the two, or raise additional capital or additional debt financing in order to sustain future operations. In February 2010, we completed a registered direct offering of our equity securities and were able to generate approximately $1,182,000 in net proceeds for inventory purchases and general corporate purposes. The securities were sold pursuant to a shelf registration statement that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2009. Our ability to sell additional securities using the shelf registration statement may be constrained by our stock price; and unless the trading price of our stock rises significantly, we will need to find alternative methods of raising capital.
We are required to meet NASDAQs continued listing requirements (including a minimum bid price for our common stock of $1.00 per share) to maintain the listing of our common stock and warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We have not been in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, but we have been allowed continued listing, subject to the condition that on or before July 12, 2010, we must have evidenced a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten prior consecutive trading days (or such longer period as NASDAQ may determine). We cannot provide assurance that our stock price will recover within the permitted grace period. If our common stock and other securities are delisted, the value of our stock could suffer a material decline, and it could become significantly more difficult for us to raise the capital necessary to carry out our business plan or sustain operations.
13
In connection with the minimum bid price requirement, we are seeking shareholder approval of a proposal to permit a reverse stock split of our common stock. However, there is no guarantee that shareholder approval will be obtained or that, even if shareholder approval is obtained, implementation of a reverse stock split would satisfy the minimum bid price requirement. Further, even if our shareholders approve the proposal to permit a reverse stock split, we are contractually obligated to obtain written consent from both holders of the Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants before affecting a reverse stock split, and one of the warrant holders has communicated to us that it intends to withhold consent. Consequently, if we are unable to timely obtain the written consents, we may not implement a reverse stock split, even if shareholder approval is obtained.
We have no commitments for material capital expenditures.
Employees
We had 52 full-time employees at March 31, 2010, remaining unchanged from December 31, 2009.

Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of March 31, 2010 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
