IVEDA SOLUTIONS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013 |
NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
These statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The operating results and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 or for future periods.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment costs, depreciation and amortization, sales returns and discounts, warranty costs, uncertain tax positions and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, stock compensation, contingencies and the fair value of assets and liabilities disclosed. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. The statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Consolidation
Effective April 30, 2011, Iveda Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of Sole Vision Technologies (dba “MegaSys”), a company based in Taiwan. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and MegaSys (from May 1, 2011 through March 31, 2014). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 8.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s Audit Report on the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained a going concern qualification. From inception through to March 31, 2014 the Company has generated an accumulated deficit from operations totaling approximately $23.2 million and has used approximately $1.5 million in cash from operations through the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 assume it will continue as a going concern, but to be able to do so it will need to raise additional capital to fund operations until positive operating cash flow is achieved. However, there can be no assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient additional capital to continue operations. The 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.
A multi-step plan was adopted by management to enable the Company to continue to operate and begin to report operating profits. The highlights of the plan include:
• | Through May 1, 2014 the Company raised approximately $3.0 million through the private placement of convertible debentures and warrants and will continue efforts of this nature throughout the remainder of the fiscal year as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors. |
• | In December 2013, the Board of Directors approved a plan for the Company to raise an aggregate amount of $3.6 million in bridge financing, of which approximately $2.0 million was raised as of March 31, 2014, through the sale of Convertible Debentures. |
• | The Board of Directors approved a plan for the Company to engage a financial advisor in connection with a potential capital raise of up to $30 million (“Long Term Financing”). |

• | The Company is actively installing its cloud based software platform with certain telecommunications companies in other countries to create a reoccurring licensing revenue model as well as a distribution channel for proprietary video camera hardware in each respective country. |
• | In the third quarter of 2013, the Company launched two new camera lines in collaboration with MegaSys, its Taiwan subsidiary and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), its nonprofit research and development partner in Taiwan. These products are enablers of the Company’s video hosting services. |
The Company has recently developed two other standalone services: | ||
IvedaMobile™ – a cloud-hosting service that turns any smartphone or tablet into a mobile, cloud video streaming device. This was developed with ITRI. |
IvedaXchange™ – In collaboration with a technology partner, the Company developed a real-time situational awareness dashboard to enable organizations instant access to vital and filtered information such as emergency situations, location of critical assets, video monitoring, and local news. IvedaXchange is well-suited for law enforcement agencies and schools. |
• | The Company intends to continue to participate in industry and vertical tradeshows to launch new products, generate leads, solicit resellers and other sales channels, and identify potential technology partners. |
• | In December 2013, Iveda hired Bob Brilon as our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Business Development. He has strong ties with the investment community and has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, strategic growth planning, and interacting with domestic and foreign institutional investors, which will be instrumental to our market expansion, global distribution of our cloud video hosting platform and services, and raising capital to fund our growth. In February 2014, the board of Directors appointed Mr. Brilon as the Company’s President. |
Concentrations
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one 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.
Accounts receivable are unsecured, and the Company is at risk to the extent such amount becomes uncollectible. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Revenue from two customers represented approximately 51% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and approximately 78% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2014.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets consist of trademarks and other intangible assets associated with the purchase price allocation of MegaSys. Such assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from six months to ten years. Other Intangible Assets were fully amortized as of September 30, 2013. Future amortization of Intangible Assets is as follows:
Trademarks
2014 | $ | 15,000 | ||
2015 | 20,000 | |||
2016 | 20,000 | |||
2017 | 20,000 | |||
Thereafter | 66,666 | |||
Total | $ | 141,666 |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of MegaSys over the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2014. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes 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 fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.
Derivative Liabilities
The Convertible Debentures include both a conversion option and detachable warrants that are being accounted for as derivative liabilities because of anti-dilution provisions, which under US GAAP, prevents them from being indexed to the Company’s stock triggering derivative accounting. The fair value of the conversion option and detachable warrants is carried on the face of the accompanying balance sheet as a Derivative Liability, in current liabilities because the underlying instruments are convertible by the holder at any time until maturity. Any change in fair value of the derivative liability is reported as a gain or loss on derivative liability in the accompanying statement of operations.
Segment Information
The Company conducts operations in various geographic regions outside the United States. The operations and the customer base conducted in the foreign countries are similar to the United States operations. The net revenues and net assets (liabilities) for other significant geographic regions outside the United States are as follows:
Net Revenues | Net Assets (Liabilities) | |||||||
United States | $ | 142,510 | $ | (1,265,181 | ) | |||
Asia | $ | 171,554 | $ | 481,258 | ||||
Mexico | $ | 60,800 | - |
Furthermore, due to operations in various geographic locations, the Company is 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 the Company’s future operations and results.
The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees are legal assessments to the customer, for which the Company has a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. Because the Company does not retain these taxes and fees, the Company does not include such amounts in revenue. The Company records a liability when the amounts are collected and relieves the liability when payments are made to the applicable governmental agencies.
The Company operates as two reportable business segments in defined in ASC 280, "Segment Reporting" Each business segment has a chief operating decision maker and management personnel which review their business segment’s performance as it relates to revenue, operating profit and operating expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2014 FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements.
The guidance addresses the consolidation of lessors in certain common control leasing arrangements and is based on a consensus
reached by the Private Company Council (PCC).
Under current U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate an entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. The assessment
of controlling financial interest is performed under either: (a) a voting interest model; or (b) a variable interest
entity model. In a variable interest entity model, the company has a controlling financial interest when it has: (a) the
power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity; and (b) the obligation
to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the entity.
To determine which model applies, a company preparing financial statements must first determine whether it has a variable interest
in the entity being evaluated for consolidation and whether that entity is a variable interest entity.
The new guidance allows a private company to elect (when certain conditions exist) not to apply the variable interest entity guidance
to a lessor under common control. Instead, the private company would make certain disclosures about the lessor and the leasing
arrangement.
Under the amendments in this ASU, a private company lessee could elect an alternative not to apply variable interest entity guidance

In April 2014 FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment
(Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in
the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses
sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP.
Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations.
Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include
a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment.
In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement
users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.
The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization
that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing
trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations.
The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part
of the new definition of discontinued operation is based on elements of the definition of discontinued operations in IFRS 5, Non-Current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. For most
nonpublic organizations, it is effective for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2014. Early adoption is permitted.

NOTE 3 | CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES |
From December 12, 2013 through March 31, 2014, the Company sold $2,024,500 in principal amount of three year debentures, convertible at any time into Company common stock at $1.50 per share. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum accruing monthly with the first interest payment after six months and then monthly. Purchasers of the convertible debentures also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 184,045 shares of Company common stock exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $1.65. The Company incurred financing costs in connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures of $175,635 paid, or to be paid, in cash and will issue warrants to purchase 192,424 shares of common stock; these deferred costs have been capitalized in the accompanying balance sheets, and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 3 year life of the debt. The fair value of the conversion option and warrants on the date issued to the debenture holders totaled $79,111, is discounted from the carrying value of the debenture and amortized into interest expense over the 3 year life of the debt using the effective interest method. At March 31, 2014, the carrying value of the convertible debentures totaled $1,949,855, net of the $74,645 debt discount. Accrued interest related to the convertible debentures totaled $27,913. The Company expects to amortize approximately $43,000 into interest expense in each of the next 3 years reducing the related deferred costs and debt discount. Principal and all accrued interest is due at maturity, but can be repaid at any time with no penalty.
The fair value of the conversion option and warrants is carried on the face of the accompanying Balance Sheet as derivative liability and totaled $83,876 at March 31, 2014. Any change in fair value of the derivative liability is reported as a gain or loss on derivative liability in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company recognized a gain on the derivative of $11,600 during the three months ended March 31. 2014.

NOTE 6 | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
On March 4, 2014, Mr. Brilon, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer purchased a 9.5% Senior Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $50,000 with the same terms as the Debenture. In connection with the purchase of this debenture, Mr. Brilon received a warrant to purchase 4,545 shares of Common Stock. The warrant has a term of five years from date of issuance and the exercise price of $1.65 per share is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the warrant. Accordingly, the Company recognized a discount of $1,616 on the principal value of $50,000, which discount is being amortized over the three year term of the debenture, and a discount of $330 with respect to the warrant, which discount is being amortized over the five year term of the warrant.
On December 20, 2013, Mr. Brilon, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer, purchased a 9.5% Senior Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of $75,000. The Debenture is due and payable three years after the date of issuance and the principal and unpaid interest thereunder is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the election of the holder any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price equal to $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the Debenture. In connection with the purchase of the Debenture, Mr. Brilon received a warrant to purchase 6,818 shares of the Common Stock. The warrant has a term of five years from date of issuance and the exercise price of $1.65 per share is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the warrant. Accordingly, the company recognized a discount of $2,382 on the principal value of $75,000, which discount is being amortized over the three year term of the debenture, and a discount of $586 with respect to the warrant, which discount is being amortized over the five year term of the warrant.
On November 19, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with a Board Member for $100,000. Under the original terms of the agreement, Interest is payable at 10% per annum, payable on the extended maturity date of December 19, 2014. The Company issued warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company Stock, at an exercise price of $ 1.10. The debenture is convertible into shares of Company Common Stock on or before the Maturity Date, at a conversion rate of $1.10 per share. On June 20, 2013, interest of $5,000 was paid on the debenture.
NOTE 7 | 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.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. The Company had net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the effect of including dilutive securities in the earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, all options and warrants to purchase common shares (totaling 9,529,641 shares potentially issuable as of March 31, 2014) and shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture (totaling 1,349,667 as of March 31, 2014) were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of our critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our financial statements is set forth in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Such policies are unchanged.
Overview
Iveda Solutions, Inc. began operations on January 24, 2005, under the name of IntelaSight, Inc., a Washington corporation doing business as Iveda Solutions (“IntelaSight”). On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Iveda Corporation (formerly known as Charmed Homes, Inc.), a Nevada corporation, through a merger. All Company operations were conducted through IntelaSight until December 31, 2010, at which time IntelaSight merged with and into Iveda Corporation, and changed its name to Iveda Solutions, Inc. On April 30, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Sole-Vision Technologies, Inc. (doing business as MegaSys), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of China (“MegaSys”). As of April 30, 2011, MegaSys became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Iveda is an established and innovative company, delivering secure, open source and enterprise class managed video services by leveraging the power of cloud computing. The Company’s robust enterprise class video hosting architecture, utilizing data centers, allows scalability, flexibility, and centralized video management, access, and storage, without the burden of buying and maintaining software and equipment. Iveda’s customers simply log in online, access their cameras and begin watching live and/or recorded video data from anywhere in the world at any time using any Internet-enabled device.
Iveda developed Sentir, a revolutionary Software as a Service video management platform, which enables companies such as telecommunications, cable, Internet, and other utility companies with subscribers already paying for monthly services, to offer cloud video surveillance services for additional recurring monthly revenue.
The Company began selling and installing video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes and secondarily for operational efficiencies and marketing, and provides video hosting in-vehicle streaming video, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services with a proprietary reporting system, DSR™ (Daily Surveillance Report), to a variety of businesses and organizations. By consolidating computer power into a single location at the server level, the Company creates efficiencies due to economies of scale leveraging cloud computing, which offers more features and flexibility compared to traditional box systems. The Company has a SAFETY Act Designation by the Department of Homeland Security as an anti-terrorism technology provider. The Company’s current principal sources of revenue are derived from our video hosting real-time surveillance and equipment sales and installation but anticipates licensing its cloud based video platform will be more significant in the future.

MegaSys, our Taiwanese subsidiary, specializes in deploying video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and Safe City initiatives in Taiwan and other neighboring countries. MegaSys integrates security surveillance products, software and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Most of MegaSys’s revenues are derived from one-time sales, which differs from Iveda’s business model of on-going video hosting, remote video storage, and real-time surveillance revenues. MegaSys does not own any proprietary technology or intellectual property other than certain trademarks in Taiwan used in its business.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. The guidance addresses the consolidation of lessors in certain common control leasing arrangements and is based on a consensus reached by the Private Company Council (PCC).
Under current U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate an entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. The assessment of controlling financial interest is performed under either: (a) a voting interest model; or (b) a variable interest entity model. In a variable interest entity model, the company has a controlling financial interest when it has: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be potentially significant to the entity.
To determine which model applies, a company preparing financial statements must first determine whether it has a variable interest in the entity being evaluated for consolidation and whether that entity is a variable interest entity.
The new guidance allows a private company to elect (when certain conditions exist) not to apply the variable interest entity guidance to a lessor under common control. Instead, the private company would make certain disclosures about the lessor and the leasing arrangement.
Under the amendments in this ASU, a private company lessee could elect an alternative not to apply variable interest entity guidance to a lessor when:
· | -The private company lessee and the lessor are under common control; |
· | -The private company lessee has a leasing arrangement with the lessor; |
· | -Substantially all of the activity between the private company lessee and the lessor is related to the leasing activities (including supporting leasing activities) between those two companies, and |
· | -If the private company lessee explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor related to the asset leased by the private company, then the principal amount of the obligation at inception does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from the lessor. |
If elected, the accounting alternative should be applied to all leasing arrangements meeting the above conditions. The alternative should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted for all financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.
In April 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP.
Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment.
In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.
The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations.

The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Part of the new definition of discontinued operation is based on elements of the definition of discontinued operations in IFRS 5, Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. For most nonpublic organizations, it is effective for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company’s management does not currently anticipate that the future application of either new accounting standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Results of Operations
Revenue We recorded revenue of $374,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $615,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $240,358 or 39%. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, our recurring service revenue was $158,801 or 42% of revenue, and our equipment sales and installation revenue was $210,311 or 56% of revenue, compared to recurring service revenue of $169,009 or 27% of revenue, and equipment sales and installation revenue of $435,833 or 71% of revenue for the same period in 2013. Our U.S. operations saw a small increase of $56,060 in revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014, while our MegaSys subsidiary saw revenues decrease by $296,419 during the same period. This decrease was due to a decline in large project-driven revenue in Taiwan.
Cost of Revenue Total cost of revenue was $210,534 (56% of revenues; representing a gross margin of 44%) for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $564,948 (92% of revenue; gross margin of 8%) for same period in 2013, a decrease of $399,789 or 71%. The decreased cost of revenue and increased gross margin was primarily due to an overall corresponding decrease in total revenues combined with higher equipment sales margins from smaller projects in Taiwan.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses were $1,527,731 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,271,083 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $256,647 or 20%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily related to research and development expenses. The Company does not expect any significant fluctuations in operating expenses from the current levels during 2014.
Loss from Operations As a result of the decreases in revenues and the increase in operating expenses, loss from operations increased to $1,363,401 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,220,809 for the same period in 2013, an increase in loss of $142,592 or 12%.
Other Expense-Net Other expense-net was $42,167 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $35,419 for the same period in 2013, an increase of $6,748 or 19%.
Net Loss Net loss was $1,405,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1,256,228 for the same period in 2013. The increase of $149,340 or 12% was primarily due to increased research and development expenses in 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $914,834 including $477,841 in our domestic business and $436,933 in our foreign business. The increase in cash from $559,729 as of December 31, 2013 was primarily due to issuance of convertible debentures. There are no legal or economic factors that materially impact our ability to transfer funds between our domestic and foreign businesses.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2013, was $1,511,936 and $167,937 respectively. Cash used in operating activities for those periods consisted primarily of the net loss from operations.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2013, was $137,129 and $16,656 respectively.
We have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. At December 31, 2013, we had approximately $17 million in net operating loss carry forwards available for federal and state income tax purposes. We did not recognize any benefit from these operating loss carry forwards for the year ended 2013 or through the second quarter of 2013. Our operating loss carry forwards expire starting in 2025 and continuing through 2032.
We believe that our cash on hand as of March 31, 2014 is sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for the near term. However, the Company has limited liquidity and has not yet established a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. As a result, risk exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate greater revenues through increased sales and/or its ability to raise additional funds through the capital markets. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Revenue from two customers represented approximately 51% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and approximately 78% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2014. No other customers represented greater than 8% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2014. There are some customer receivables that have aged over 120 days. These customers have been identified and an adequate allowance for doubtful accounts has been set up to offset the risk of uncollectibility.
Our U.S. operation has no new customer receivables aged over 120 days. The terms for payment for our U.S. operations are “due upon receipt”. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts for such U.S. receivables was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Our Taiwan operations through MegaSys have 84% of gross accounts receivables aged over 120 days as of March 31, 2014. The payment terms vary based on the timing of the completion of customer projects. MegaSys generally does not control the time of payment because MegaSys’s product is only one component of the larger project. In general, payment takes place within one year of commencing the project, except that 5% of the total payment is retained and released one year after the completion of the project. Excluding such retained amounts, MegaSys provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for any receivables that will not be paid within one year. As of the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s management has set up a $459,225, allowance for doubtful accounts. Management deems the remainder of the outstanding accounts to be collectible based on the nature of the customer contracts and past experience with similar customers.
Substantially all cash is deposited in two financial institutions, one 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.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2014. Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting for our U.S. operations. We are in the process of evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting for MegaSys.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors 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 and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been 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.
Segregation of Duties
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two employees knowledgeable in SEC accounting and reporting. As a result, there is proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner. In addition, as our resources allow, we plan to add additional financial personnel to our management team in order to ensure proper segregation of the duties necessary for accurate and timely financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide Part II, Item 1A disclosures in this Quarterly Report.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. |
From December 12, 2014 through March 31, 2014 the Company sold $2,024,500 in principal amount of three year debentures, convertible at any time into common stock at $1.50 per share. The debentures bear interest at 9.5% per annum. Purchasers of the convertible debentures also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 184,045 shares of common stock, exercisable for five years at an exercise price of $1.65. These issuances were made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Regulation D, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The facts relied upon by the Company to use this exemption were the following: (a) the Company did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; (b) the issuances were only made to accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Accredited Investors”). The proceeds raised through the sale of the convertible debentures were used to fund the Company’s general operating expenses.
