SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus, any amendment and the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the sections entitled “Risk
Factors”, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
These forward-looking statements include, without limitation: new products or services;
statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts
for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of our management’s goals and objectives;
statements concerning our competitive environment, availability of resources and regulation; trends affecting our financial condition,
results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters
that are not historical facts. Words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”,
“predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “future”,
“intends”, “plans”, “believes” and “estimates,” and variations of such terms or similar
expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the
times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available
at the time they are made and/or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. Our actual results
may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors including, but
not limited to, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, as well as other risks discussed in
documents that we file with the SEC.
Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no
obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking
statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
You should review our subsequent reports filed with the SEC described in the sections of this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus
entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference,” all of
which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
INDUSTRY
AND MARKET DATA
Unless
otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus concerning our industry and the market in which we operate, including our
market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on information from various sources, on assumptions that we have made based
on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our products. These data sources involve a number of assumptions
and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.
We
have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market size
information included in this prospectus is generally reliable, such information may be imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions
and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high
degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors”
and elsewhere in this prospectus and in any documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus and the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates
made by the independent parties and by us.

Recent
Developments
As
previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the Company on
June 6, 2023, on June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger
Agreement”) with Clover Leaf Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Clover Leaf”), CL Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clover Leaf (the “Merger Sub”), Yntegra Capital Investments LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the
stockholders of Clover Leaf (other than the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and its successors and assignees)
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (the “Purchaser Representative”), and Kustom.
On November 7, 2024, pursuant to Section
8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Clover Leaf, Merger Sub, Purchaser Representative, and Kustom entered into a Mutual Termination
and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the Merger Agreement (the “Termination”). As
a result of the Termination Agreement, the Merger Agreement is of no further force and effect, with the exception of specified provisions
set forth in the Termination Agreement, which shall survive the Termination and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their
respective terms.
As previously reported in the amendment
to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the Company on November
8, 2024, in order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes (as defined below), the Purchase Agreement provides
that the Company shall cause its wholly owned subsidiaries, to the extent permitted under such subsidiaries’ existing obligations,
to guarantee the payment of and performance of obligations under the Notes. In connection therewith, on November 13, 2024, the Company
entered into that certain Secured Subsidiary Guarantee (the “Guarantee”), by and among the Company, TicketSmarter, Kustom
440, and Kustom (each of TicketSmarter, Kustom 440 and Kustom a “Guarantor” and together, the “Guarantors”).
Pursuant to the Guarantee, the Guarantors guarantee to the Selling Stockholders the prompt and complete payment and performance when
due of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee).
As previously reported on the Form 8-K filed on
November 7, 2024, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to file within 30 days of the Closing Date (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) a registration statement (the “Public Offering Registration Statement”) with the SEC for a public offering
(the “Public Offering Filing Deadline”) and use its reasonable best efforts to pursue and consummate a financing transaction
within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date (the “Offering Consummation Deadline”). The Company also agreed to file within
30 days of the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-1 (or other appropriate form if the Company is not then S-1 eligible)
providing for the resale by the Selling Stockholders of the Shares issued under the Purchase Agreement (the “Resale Filing Deadline”).
On December 11, 2024, the Company entered into
that certain First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Selling Stockholders. Pursuant to
the Amendment, (i) the Public Offering Filing Deadline was amended to require the Company to file the Public Offering Registration Statement
not less than 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) after, and not more than 30 Trading Days after, the later of (a)
the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for December 16, 2024 and (b) the effectiveness of the registration statement described
in Section 4.15 of the Purchase Agreement (the “Resale Registration Statement”), (ii) the Offering Consummation Deadline
was amended to require the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate a financing transaction within sixty (60) days of
filing the Public Offering Registration Statement, and (iii) the Resale Filing Deadline was amended to require the Company to use reasonable
best efforts to file the Resale Registration Statement on or before December 18, 2024 (but in no event later than December 20, 2024),
and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to become effective within forty-five (45) calendar
days following the filing thereof and to keep such Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no Selling Stockholder
owns any Shares. Failures to meet any of the deadlines set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be considered Public Information Failures
for which Public Information Failure Payments shall be due pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Amendment.
Pursuant to the Amendment, a participation right
was added to the Purchase Agreement, such that until one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Selling Stockholders shall have the
right to receive an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange
(the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer
Notice shall, among other things, offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Selling Stockholder in accordance with the terms of
the Offer such Selling Stockholder’s pro rata portion of 35% of the Offered Securities, subject to certain conditions.
Implications
of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We
are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million
and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting
company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day
of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and
the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal
quarter. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure
and other requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.
THE
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
On
November 6, 2024, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”), pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Stockholders for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting
fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the Private Placement.
As
part of the Private Placement, the Company issued (i) senior secured promissory notes in aggregate principal amount of $3,600,000 (the
“Notes”), and (ii) 808,377 Shares. The Private Placement closed on November 7, 2024 (the “Closing Date”).
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to use approximately $2,015,623 of the net proceeds from the Private Placement to
pay, in full, all liabilities, obligations and indebtedness owing by the Company and its subsidiary, Kustom (the “Borrowers”),
to Mosh Man, LLC (the “Lender”), in respect of that certain promissory note and note purchase agreement and related documents
by and among the Borrowers and the Lender (collectively, the “Mosh Man Note”).
The
Company’s full repayment of the outstanding obligations under the Mosh Man Note will effectively terminate the public sale process
of the collateral securing the Borrowers’ obligations thereunder, which sale process was disclosed by the Company in a Current
Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 28, 2024 and again November 4, 2024.
The
Company anticipates that the remaining net proceeds from the Private Placement after repayment of the Mosh Man Note, and after deducting
placement agent fees and other offering expenses, will meet the Company’s capital needs for approximately three months after the
Closing Date, subsequent to which the Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional funds to implement its business plan
and to service its ongoing operations. The Company also anticipates pursuing the sale of its video solutions business in the short term.
Pursuant to the Amendment, (i) the Public Offering
Filing Deadline was amended to require the Company to file the Public Offering Registration Statement not less than 20 Trading Days after,
and not more than 30 Trading Days after, the later of (a) the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for December 16, 2024 and (b)
the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, (ii) the Offering Consummation Deadline was amended to require the Company to
use its reasonable best efforts to consummate a financing transaction within sixty (60) days of filing the Public Offering Registration
Statement, and (iii) the Resale Filing Deadline was amended to require the Company to use reasonable best efforts to file the Resale
Registration Statement on or before December 18, 2024 (but in no event later than December 20, 2024), and to use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to become effective within forty-five (45) calendar days following the filing thereof
and to keep such Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no Selling Stockholder owns any Shares. Failures to meet
any of the deadlines set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be considered Public Information Failures for which Public Information
Failure Payments shall be due pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of the Amendment.
Pursuant to the Amendment, a participation right
was added to the Purchase Agreement, such that until one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Selling Stockholders shall have the
right to receive an Offer Notice of any Offer of Offered Securities in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall, among other
things, offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Selling Stockholder in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Selling Stockholder’s
pro rata portion of 35% of the Offered Securities, subject to certain conditions.
Furthermore,
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, within five (5) days of the signing the Purchase Agreement, (i) the Company’s board of directors
(the “Board”) shall approve an amendment to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws’) setting the quorum required
for a special meeting of stockholders to one-third of all stockholders entitled to vote at such special meeting and (ii) the Company
shall file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A announcing a meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving
the Series A and Series B warrants issued by the Company on June 25, 2024. On November 6, 2024, the Company adopted Amendment No. 1 to
Bylaws with the approval of the Board. The Bylaws were amended to reduce the quorum requirement at any meeting of the Company’s
stockholders to thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting.
Furthermore,
in order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company shall cause its
wholly owned subsidiaries, to the extent permitted under such subsidiaries’ existing obligations, to guarantee the payment of and
performance of obligations under the Notes. The Company agreed to use best efforts to enter into subsidiary guarantees to that effect.
On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Guarantee, by and among the Company and the Guarantors. Pursuant to the Guarantee,
the Guarantors guarantee to the Selling Stockholders the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the Obligations (as
defined in the Guarantee).
Senior
Secured Promissory Notes
The
Notes will mature ninety (90) days following their issuance date (the “Maturity Date”) and shall accrue no interest unless
and until an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred, in which case interest shall accrue at a rate of 14% per annum
during the pendency of such Event of Default. In addition, upon customary Events of Default, the Selling Stockholders may require the
Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes in cash with 125% redemption premium. The Selling Stockholders may also require the
Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes in cash upon a Change of Control, as defined in the Notes, at the prices set forth
therein. Upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default (as defined in the Notes), the Company shall immediately pay to the Selling Stockholders
an amount in cash representing 100% of all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in addition to any and all other
amounts due under the Notes, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Selling Stockholder or any other
person.
If
the Company engages in one or more subsequent financings while the Notes are outstanding, the Company will be required to use at least
100% of the gross proceeds of such financing to redeem all or any portion of the Notes outstanding. The Company may also prepay the Notes
in whole or in part at any time or from time to time. The Notes also contain customary representations and warranties and covenants of
each of the parties. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes are secured by a first lien and continuing security interest in and to
the Collateral (as defined in the Notes).

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in the securities offered under this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate
all of the information contained in this prospectus and in the documents that we incorporate by reference herein before you decide to
invest in our securities. In particular, you should carefully consider and evaluate the risks and uncertainties described under the heading
“Risk Factors” in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Investors are further advised that
the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think
are immaterial, may also negatively impact our business operations or financial results. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth
in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents
that we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference into this prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the value of our securities.
Risks
Related to Our Financial Condition
We
will need financing in the longer term to support our ongoing operations. If we do not raise sufficient capital when such financing is
needed, we may be forced to cease operations, liquidate our assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection or engage in a similar process.
While
we believe that current cash on hand is sufficient to fund our immediate operational needs, we will need financing in the longer
term to support our ongoing operations. There can
be no assurance that we will be able to secure any needed funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions
would be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing, we will be required to divest all or a portion of
our business or otherwise liquidate, wind-up, restructure or curtail our operations and product development timeline. We
may seek additional capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings and/or strategic collaborations. Debt
financing, if obtained, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions,
such as incurring additional debt, and could increase our expenses and require that our assets secure such debt. Equity financing,
if obtained, could result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders and/or require such stockholders to waive certain rights and
preferences. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, our ability to accelerate product
development will be hindered, our business and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.
We
have incurred losses in recent years.
We
have had net losses for several years and had an accumulated deficit of $117,668,781 at December 31, 2023, which includes our net
loss attributable to common stockholders of $25,688,547 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to our net loss
attributable to common stockholders of $21,666,691 for the year ended December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2024, we had an
accumulated deficit of $130,154,168, which includes net losses attributable to common stockholders of $3,470,506 for
the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our management has concluded that our historical recurring losses from operations and
unstable cash flows from operations, as well as our dependence on private equity and other financings, raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern and our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue
as a going concern in its audit report for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has included in its report for the year ended December 31, 2023 an explanatory paragraph
expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, other factors, our ability to raise additional capital through sales of
our securities, including this offering, and incurrence of debt. Additionally, future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including the rate of revenue growth, the selling price of our products, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing
and extent of spending on research and development efforts and the continuing market acceptance of our products. These factors raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available
at terms acceptable to us or at all. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, this could materially adversely affect the value of the
shares of common stock.
Foreign
currency fluctuations may affect our competitiveness and sales in foreign markets.
The
relative change in currency values creates fluctuations in our product pricing for potential international customers. These changes in
foreign end-user costs may result in lost orders and reduce the competitiveness of our products in certain foreign markets. These changes
may also negatively affect the financial condition of some existing or potential foreign customers and reduce or eliminate their future
orders of our products. We also import selected components which are used in the manufacturing of some of our products. Although our
purchase orders are in the United States dollar, weakness in the United States dollar could lead to price increases for the components.
Our
revenues and operating results may fluctuate unexpectedly from quarter to quarter, which may cause our stock price to decline.
Our
revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future due to
various factors that are both in and outside our control. Thus, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results
may not be meaningful in the short-term, and our performance in a particular period may not be indicative of our performance in any future
period.
Changes
in financial accounting standards may cause adverse and unexpected revenue fluctuations and impact our reported results of operations.
A
change in accounting standards or practices could harm our operating results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed
before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred
and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may harm our operating results or the
way we conduct our business.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
There
are risks related to dealing with domestic governmental entities as customers.
One
of the principal target markets for our products is the law enforcement community. In this market, the sale of products will be subject
to budget constraints of governmental agencies purchasing these products, which could result in a significant reduction in our anticipated
revenues. Such governmental agencies have experienced budgetary pressures because of the recent recession and its impact on local sales,
property and income taxes that provide funding for purchasing our products. These agencies also may experience political pressure that
dictates the way they spend money. Thus, even if an agency wants to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them due to budgetary
or political constraints, even if such agencies have the necessary funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due
to their internal decision-making policies and procedures.
There
are risks related to dealing with foreign governmental entities as customers.
We
target the law enforcement community in foreign countries for the sale of many of our products. While foreign countries vary, generally
the sale of our products will be subject to political and budgetary constraints of foreign governments and agencies purchasing these
products, which could result in a significant reduction in our anticipated revenues. Some foreign governments are experiencing budgetary
pressures because of various reasons specific to them and their impact on taxes and tariffs that in many cases provide funding for purchasing
our products. Law enforcement agencies within these countries also may experience political pressure that dictates the way they spend
money. Thus, even if a foreign country or its law enforcement agencies want to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them
due to budgetary or political constraints. We cannot assure investors that such governmental agencies will have the necessary funds to
purchase our products even though they may want to do so. Further, even if such agencies have the necessary funds, we may experience
delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their internal decision-making policies and procedures.
International
law enforcement and other agencies that may consider using our products must analyze a wide range of issues before committing to purchase
products like ours, including training costs, product reliability and budgetary constraints. The length of our sales cycle may range
from a few months to a year or more. We may incur substantial selling costs and expend significant effort in connection with the evaluation
of our products by potential customers before they place an order. Initial orders by foreign governments and agencies typically are for
a small number of units that are used to evaluate the products. If these potential customers do not purchase our products, we will have
expended significant resources and receive no revenue in return. In addition, we may be selected as the vendor of choice by these foreign
customers but never receive the funding necessary to purchase our product due to political or economic reasons.
We
are marketing our DVM-250, DVM-250 Plus event recorder and FirstVU HD products to commercial customers, which is a relatively new sales
channel for us and we may experience problems in gaining acceptance.
The
principal target commercial market for our event recorder products is commercial fleet operators, such as taxi cabs, limousine services,
transit buses, ambulance services and a variety of delivery services, and the principal target commercial market for our disinfectant/sanitizer
and temperature monitoring products are healthcare centers and direct consumer businesses such as bars and restaurants. We have been
marketing our FirstVU HD and EVO-HD to commercial customers for approximately one year and have been marketing our Shield™ and
ThermoVU™ products to commercial customers for approximately the same period of time. While we have continued to try to capitalize
on the existing market for our event recorder products, the markets for these newer products have represented relatively new sales channels
for us and we may experience difficulty gaining acceptance of such products by the targeted customers. Our sales of such products will
be subject to budget constraints of both the large and small prospective customers, which could result in a significant reduction in
our anticipated revenues. Certain of such companies have experienced budgetary and financial pressures for various reasons specific to
them or the applicable industries in which they operate, which may negatively impact their ability to purchase our products. Thus, even
if prospective customers want to acquire our products, they may be unable to do so because of such factors. Further, even if such companies
have the necessary funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their internal decision-making policies and
procedures.
We
are operating in a developing market and there is uncertainty as to market acceptance of our technology and products.
The
markets for our new and enhanced products and technology are developing and rapidly evolving. They are characterized by an increasing
number of market entrants who have developed or are developing a wide variety of products and technologies, a number of which offer certain
of the features that our products offer. Because of these factors, demand and market acceptance for new products are subject to a high
level of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that our technology and products will become widely accepted. It is also difficult to
predict with any assurance the future growth rate, if any, and size of the market. If a substantial market fails to develop, develops
more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors or if our products do not achieve or continue to achieve market acceptance,
our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Our
technology may also be marketed and licensed to device manufacturers for inclusion in the products and equipment they market and sell
as an embedded solution. As with other new products and technologies designed to enhance or replace existing products or technologies
or change product designs, these potential partners may be reluctant to integrate our digital video recording technology into their systems
unless the technology and products are proven to be both reliable and available at a competitive price. Even assuming product acceptance,
our potential partners may be required to redesign their systems to effectively use our digital video recording technology. The time
and costs necessary for such redesign could delay or prevent market acceptance of our technology and products. A lack of, or delay in,
market acceptance of our digital video recording technology and products would adversely affect our operations. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to market our technology and products successfully or that any of our technology or products will be accepted in
the marketplace.
We
expend significant resources in anticipation of a sale due to our lengthy sales cycle and may receive no revenue in return.
Generally,
law enforcement and other agencies and commercial fleet and mass transit operators that may consider using our products must analyze
a wide range of issues before committing to purchase products like ours, including training costs, product reliability and budgetary
constraints. The length of our sales cycle may range from several months to a year or more. We may incur substantial selling costs and
expend significant effort in connection with the evaluation of our products by potential customers before they place an order. Initial
orders by agencies typically are for a small number of units that are used to evaluate the products. If these potential customers do
not purchase our products, we will have expended significant resources and have received no revenue in return.
Failure
to stay on top of technology innovation could harm our business model.
Our
revenue growth will depend upon our success in new and existing markets for our technologies. The markets for our technologies and products
are defined by:
● |
rapid
technological change; |
|
|
● |
new
and improved technology and frequent product introductions; |
|
|
● |
consumer
demands; evolving industry standards; and |
|
|
● |
technology
and product obsolescence. |
Our
future success depends on our ability to enhance our technologies and products and to develop new technologies and products that address
the market needs in a timely manner. Technology development is a complex, uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly
skilled engineering and development personnel, and the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to
identify, develop, acquire, market, or support new or enhanced technologies or products on a timely basis, if at all.
We
are dependent on key personnel.
Our
success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers, Stanton E. Ross and Thomas J. Heckman. We do not have employment
agreements with Messrs. Ross or Heckman, although we entered into retention agreements with such officers on December 23, 2008, which
were amended in April 2018. The loss of the services of either of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business
and prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future. We have not obtained
key-man life insurance policies on these individuals. We are also dependent to a substantial degree on our technical, research and development
staff. Our success will be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified technical, research, management, marketing
and financial personnel. We will compete with other companies with greater financial and other resources for such personnel. Although
we have not had trouble in attracting qualified personnel to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our present
personnel or acquire additional qualified personnel as and when needed.
We
are dependent on manufacturers and suppliers.
We
purchase, and intend to continue to purchase, substantially all the components for our products and some entire products, from a limited
number of manufacturers and suppliers, most of whom are located outside the United States. Our internal process is principally to assemble
the various components and subassemblies manufactured by our suppliers and test the assembled product prior to shipping to our customers.
We do not intend to directly manufacture any of the equipment or parts to be used in our products. Our reliance upon outside manufacturers
and suppliers, including foreign suppliers, is expected to continue, increase in scope and involves several risks, including limited
control over the availability of components, and products themselves and related delivery schedules, pricing and product quality. We
may be subject to political and social risks associated with specific regions of the world including those that may be subject to changes
in tariffs that may have substantial effects on our product costs and supply chain reliability and availability. We may experience delays,
additional expenses and lost sales if we are required to locate and qualify alternative manufacturers and suppliers.
A
few of the semiconductor chip components for our products are produced by a very small number of specialized manufacturers. Currently,
we purchase one essential semiconductor chip from a single manufacturer who currently sources such chipsets from the Philippines, China,
Taiwan and South Korea, among other countries. While we believe that there are alternative sources of supply, if, for any reason, we
are precluded from obtaining such a semiconductor chip from this manufacturer, we may experience long delays in product delivery due
to the difficulty and complexity involved in producing the required component and we may also be required to pay higher costs for our
components.
While
we do the final assembly, testing, packaging, and shipment of certain of our products in-house, a number of our component parts are manufactured
by subcontractors. These subcontractors include: raw circuit board manufacturers; circuit board assembly houses; injection plastic molders;
metal parts fabricators; and other custom component providers. While we are dependent upon these subcontractors to the extent that they
are producing custom subassemblies and components necessary for manufacturing our products, we still own the designs and intellectual
property involved. This means that the failure of any one contractor to perform may cause delays in production. However, we can mitigate
potential interruptions by maintaining “buffer stocks” of critical parts and subassemblies and by using multiple sources
for critical components. We also can move our subcontracting to alternate providers. Being forced to use a different subcontractor could
cause production interruptions ranging from negligible, such as a few weeks, to very costly, such as four to six months. Further, the
failure of a foreign manufacturer to deliver products to us timely, in sufficient quantities and with the requisite quality would have
a material adverse impact on our business, operations and financial condition.
The
only components that would require a complete redesign of our digital video electronics package are the chips manufactured by Texas Instruments
Incorporated (“Texas Instruments”). While there are competitive products available, each chip has unique characteristics
that would require extensive tailoring of product designs to use it. The Texas Instruments chip is the heart of our video processing
system. If Texas Instruments became unwilling or unable to provide us with these chips, we would be forced to redesign our digital video
encoder and decoder systems. Such a complete redesign could take substantial time (over six months) to complete. We attempt to mitigate
the potential for interruption by maintaining continuous stocks of these chips to support several months’ worth of production.
In addition, we regularly check on the end-of-life status of these parts to make sure that we will know well in advance of any decisions
by Texas Instruments to discontinue these parts. There are other semiconductors that are integral to our product design and which could
cause delays if discontinued, but not to the same scale as the Texas Instruments chips.
We
are uncertain of our ability to protect technology through patents.
Our
ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting our proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad.
We have filed for at least 50 patents for protection in the United States and certain other countries to cover certain design aspects
of our products.
We
have been issued at least 38 patents to date by the USPTO. In addition, we have at least 12 patent applications that are still under
review by the U.S. Patent Office and, therefore, we have not yet been issued all the patents that we applied for in the United States.
No assurance can be given that any patents relating to our existing technology will be issued from the United States or any foreign patent
offices, that we will receive any patents in the future based on our continued development of our technology, or that our patent protection
within and/or outside of the United States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or otherwise, from developing or marketing competitive
products utilizing our technologies.
If
our patents were to be denied as filed, we would seek to obtain different patents for other parts of our technology. If our main patent,
which relates to the placement of the in-car video system in a rear-view mirror, were to be challenged and denied, it could potentially
allow our competitors to build very similar devices. Currently, this patent is not being challenged. However, we believe that very few
of our competitors would be capable of this because of the level of technical sophistication and level of miniaturization required. Even
if we obtain patents, there can be no assurance that they will be enforceable to prevent others from developing and marketing competitive
products or methods. If we bring an infringement action relating to any future patents, it may require the diversion of substantial funds
from our operations and may require management to expend efforts that might otherwise be devoted to our operations. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that we will be successful in enforcing our patent rights.
Further,
if any patents are issued there can be no assurance that patent infringement claims in the United States or in other countries will not
be asserted against us by a competitor or others, or if asserted, that we will be successful in defending against such claims. If one
of our products is adjudged to infringe patents of others with the likely consequence of a damage award, we may be enjoined from using
and selling such product or be required to obtain a royalty-bearing license, if available on acceptable terms. Alternatively, if a license
is not offered, we might be required, if possible, to redesign those aspects of the product held to infringe to avoid infringement liability.
Any redesign efforts we undertake might be expensive, could delay the introduction or the re-introduction of our products into certain
markets, or may be so significant as to be impractical.
We
are uncertain of our ability to protect our proprietary technology and information.
In
addition to seeking patent protection, we rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to seek to achieve
and thereafter maintain a competitive advantage. Although we have entered into or intend to enter into confidentiality and invention
agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors, no assurance can be given that such agreements will be honored or that we will
be able to effectively protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and know-how. Moreover, no assurance can be given that others
will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade
secrets and know-how.
Cyber-security
incidents, including data security breaches or computer viruses, could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of products or services,
damaging our reputation or exposing us to liability.
We
receive, process, and store, electronically, the data of our customers and others, much of which is confidential. Unauthorized access
to our computer systems or stored data could result in the theft, including cyber-theft, or improper disclosure of confidential information,
and the deletion or modification of records could cause interruptions in our operations. These cyber-security risks increase when we
transmit information from one location to another, including over the internet or other electronic networks. Despite the security measures
we have implemented, our facilities, systems and procedures, and those of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security
breaches, acts of vandalism, software viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors or other similar events which may
disrupt our delivery of services or expose the confidential information of our customers and others. Any security breach involving the
misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information of our customers or others, whether by us
or a third party, could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, have a negative impact on our reputation, or expose us to liability
to our customers, third parties or government authorities. We are not aware of such breaches to date. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to effectively handle a failure of our information systems, or that we will be able to restore our operational capacity
in a timely manner to avoid disruption to our business. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The
digital video recording market is characterized by new products and rapid technological change.
The
market for our digital video recording technology products is characterized by rapidly changing technology and frequent new product introductions.
Our future success will depend in part on our ability to enhance our existing technologies and products and to introduce new products
and technologies to meet changing customer requirements. We are currently devoting, and intend to continue to devote, significant resources
toward the development of new digital video recording technology and products both as stand-alone products and embedded solutions in
third party products and systems. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the development of these technologies
and related products in a timely fashion or that our current or future products will satisfy the needs of the digital video recording
market. There can also be no assurance that digital video recording products and technologies developed by others will not adversely
affect our competitive position or render our products or technologies non-competitive or obsolete.
The
markets for our new branded Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer and ThermoVU™ temperature monitoring solution are characterized
by new products and rapid technological change.
The
markets for our new branded Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer and ThermoVU™ temperature monitoring solution products are characterized
by rapidly changing technology and frequent new product introductions given the COVID-19 pandemic. Our future success will depend in
part on our ability to enhance our existing products and to introduce new products and technologies to meet changing customer requirements.
We are currently devoting, and intend to continue to devote, significant resources toward the development of new applications for our
disinfectant/sanitizer and temperature monitoring solutions and products both as stand-alone products and embedded solutions in third
party products and systems. Our current development activities include, among others, electrostatic sprayer systems to more efficiently
disburse our Shield™ disinfectant/sanitizer. There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the development of these
technologies and related products in a timely fashion or that our current or future products will satisfy the needs of the market. There
can also be no assurance that the disinfectant/sanitizer and temperature monitoring products and technologies developed by others will
not adversely affect our competitive position or render our products or technologies non-competitive or obsolete.
We
are a party to several lawsuits both as a plaintiff and as a defendant in which we may ultimately not prevail, resulting in losses and
which may cause our stock price to decline.
We
are involved as a plaintiff and defendant in routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to our business from time to
time, including customer collections, vendor and employment-related matters. We believe that the likely outcome of any other pending
cases and proceedings will not be material to our business or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that we will prevail
in the litigation or proceedings or that we may not have to pay damages or other awards to the other party.
We
are vulnerable to continued global economic uncertainty and volatility in financial markets.
Our
business is highly sensitive to changes in general economic conditions as a seller of capital equipment to end users in dental professional
practices. Financial markets inside the United States and internationally have experienced extreme disruption in recent times, including,
among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, and declining valuations
of investments. We believe these disruptions are likely to have an ongoing adverse effect on the world economy. A continued economic
downturn and financial market disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Also, the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia as a result of the war in Ukraine could prevent us from performing existing contracts
and pursuing new growth opportunities, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Future
acquisitions may have a material adverse effect on our ability to manage our business and our results of operations and financial condition.
We
may acquire businesses, technologies, services, or products which are complementary to our business. Future acquisitions may expose us
to potential risks, including risks associated with the integration of new operations, services, and personnel, unforeseen or hidden
liabilities, the diversion of resources and management attention from our existing business and technology, our potential inability to
generate sufficient revenue to offset new costs, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such acquisitions, or the potential
loss of or harm to relationships with suppliers, employees, and customers resulting from our integration of new businesses.
Any
of the potential risks listed above could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manage our business or our results of operations
and financial condition. In addition, we may need to fund any such acquisitions through the incurrence of additional debt or the sale
of additional debt or equity securities, which would result in increased debt service obligations, including additional operating and
financing covenants, or liens on our assets, that would restrict our operations, or dilution to our shareholders.
We
face intense competition in our industry, and we may not be able to compete successfully in our target markets.
Our
markets are characterized by intense competition, subject to rapid change, and are significantly affected by new product introductions
and other market activities of industry participants. Our competitors include many large domestic and international companies that have
substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources, greater name recognition, a longer operating
history, broader product lines, lower cost structures and longer-standing relationships with customers and suppliers than we do. As a
result, our competitors may be able to respond better to new or emerging technologies or standards and to changes in customer requirements.
Further,
some of our competitors are in a better financial and marketing position from which to influence industry acceptance of a particular
product standard or a competing technology than we are. Our competitors may also be able to devote greater resources to the development,
promotion and sale of products, and may be in a position to deliver competitive products at a lower price than we can, along with the
potential to conduct strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, subsidies and lobbying industry and government standards, hire more experienced
technicians, engineers and research and development teams than we can. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively against
any of these organizations.
Our
ability to compete in our current target markets and future markets will depend in large part on our ability to successfully develop,
introduce and sell new and enhanced products or technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis and to respond to changing market requirements.
We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current products and potentially reduce their prices. In addition,
our competitors may develop future generations and enhancements of competitive products or new or enhanced technologies that may offer
greater performance and improved pricing or render our technologies obsolete. If we are unable to match or exceed the improvements made
by our competitors, our market position and prospects could deteriorate and our net product sales could decline.
Our
Entertainment Segment business is dependent on the continued occurrence of large-scale sporting events, concerts and theater shows and
any decrease in the number of such events may result in decreased demand for our services.
Ticket
sales are sensitive to fluctuations in the number of entertainment, sporting and theater events and activities offered by promoters,
teams and facilities, and adverse trends in the entertainment, sporting and leisure event industries could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. We rely on third parties to create and perform at live music, sporting and theater events,
and any unwillingness to tour, lack of availability of popular artists or decrease in the number of games or performances held could
limit our ability to generate revenue. Accordingly, our success depends, in part, upon the ability of these third parties to correctly
anticipate public demand for particular events, as well as the availability of popular artists, entertainers and teams, and any decrease
in availability or failure to anticipate public demand could result in reduced demand for our services, which would adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes
in Internet search engine algorithms and dynamics, or search engine disintermediation, or changes in marketplace rules could have a negative
impact on traffic for our sites and ultimately, our business and results of operations.
We
rely heavily on Internet search engines, such as Google, to generate traffic to our website, through a combination of organic and paid
searches. Search engines frequently update and change the logic that determines the placement and display of results of a user’s
search, such that the purchased or algorithmic placement of links to our website can be negatively affected. In addition, a search engine
could, for competitive or other purposes, alter its search algorithms or results causing our website to be placed lower in organic search
query results. If a major search engine changes its algorithms in a manner that negatively affects the search engine ranking of our website
or those of our partners, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be harmed. Furthermore, our failure to successfully
manage our search engine optimization could result in a substantial decrease in traffic to our website, as well as increased costs if
we were to replace free traffic with paid traffic, which may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We
also rely on application marketplaces, such as Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play, to enable downloads of our applications.
Such marketplaces have in the past made, and may in the future make, changes that make access to our products more difficult. For example,
our applications may receive unfavorable treatment compared to the promotion and placement of competing applications, such as the order
in which they appear within marketplaces. Further, Apple and Google App Stores are an important distribution channel. If they choose
to charge commissions on our products and we fail to negotiate compatible terms, it may harm our business, results of operations and
financial condition. Similarly, if problems arise in our relationships with providers of application marketplaces, traffic to our site
and our user growth could be harmed.
Our
Entertainment Segment business is dependent on the willingness of artists, teams and promoters to continue to support the secondary ticket
market and any decrease in such support may result in decreased demand for our services.
Our
Entertainment Segment business is dependent on the secondary ticket market for events put on by artists, teams and promoters. We rely
upon the willingness of such artists, teams and promoters to support the secondary ticket market and any decrease in support of the resale
market, such as by enacting restrictions regarding resale policies or partnering with other resale marketplaces on an exclusive basis,
could result in reduced demand for our services, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If
our future performance does not meet market expectations, the price of our securities may decline.
If
our future performance does not meet market expectations, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, fluctuations in the
price of our common stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to the Resale of the Shares and Ownership of Shares of Our Common Stock
The
Selling Stockholders may choose to sell the Shares at prices below the current market price.
The
Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares covered by this prospectus.
Sales or other dispositions of the Shares below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
A
large number of shares of common stock may be sold in the market following this offering, which may significantly depress the market
price of our common stock.
The
Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result,
a substantial number of shares of common stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more
shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to
a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered common stock and sellers remain willing to sell common stock.
Neither
we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering.
You
should carefully evaluate all of the information in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.
We may receive media coverage regarding our Company, including coverage that is not directly attributable to statements made by our officers,
that incorrectly reports on statements made by our officers or employees, or that is misleading as a result of omitting information provided
by us, our officers or employees. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized any other party to provide you with information
concerning us or this offering, and recipients should not rely on this information.
The
market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded
public float, and lack of profits, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.
The
market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established
companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than the shares of such
larger, more established companies for the indefinite future, although such fluctuations may not reflect a material change to our financial
condition or operations during any such period. Such volatility can be attributable to a number of factors. Such volatility can be attributable
to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common stock is, compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies,
sporadically and thinly traded. The price for our common stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number
of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due
to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all
or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more
quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a large public
float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock regardless of our operating
performance.
In
addition to being highly volatile, our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are
beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
● |
variations
in our revenues and operating expenses; |
|
|
● |
actual
or anticipated changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our
common stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally; |
|
|
● |
market
conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole; |
|
|
● |
actual
or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates; |
|
|
● |
developments

the COVID-19 pandemic, and natural disasters such as fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or other adverse weather and climate
conditions, whether occurring in the United States or elsewhere, could disrupt our operations, disrupt the operations of our suppliers
or result in political or economic instability. |
In
addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading price
of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price
of our common stock could also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not
directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of our common stock. In the past, following periods of
volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted
against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business,
our common stock price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our common stock may depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about
us or our business, our market and our competitors. We do not have any control over such analysts. If one or more such analysts downgrade
or publish a negative opinion of our common stock, the common stock price would likely decline. If analysts do not cover us or do not
regularly publish reports on us, we may not be able to attain visibility in the financial markets, which could have a negative impact
on our common stock price or trading volume.
In
the event that our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, U.S. broker-dealers may be discouraged from
effecting transactions in shares of our common stock because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock
rules.
The
SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to
be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. These
rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with
a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the
Nasdaq Capital Market if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the
exchange or system). Our shares of common stock have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, “penny stock”
within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers for sales
of penny stocks may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our common stock, which could severely limit
the market liquidity of such shares of common stock and impede their sale in the secondary market.
A
U.S. broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally,
an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse)
must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction
prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations
require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared
in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise
exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative
and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price
information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited
market in “penny stocks”.
Stockholders
should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud
and abuse. Such patterns include: (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to
the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced
sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping
of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses.
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a
position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the
confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
You
may experience future dilution as a result of issuance of the Shares, issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to any price protection
features under the terms of our outstanding securities, future equity offerings by us and other issuances of our common stock or other
securities. In addition, the issuance of the Shares and future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities
may adversely affect our common stock price.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share as prior issuances of common stock. We
may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price
per share previously paid by investors, the terms of certain of our outstanding securities may contain price protection features that
allow holders of such securities to acquire the same number of shares of common stock at a lower price if certain events occur, and investors
purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which
we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower
than the prices per share for previous issuances of common stock or securities convertible into common stock paid by certain investors. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common
stock under our equity incentive programs. In addition, the issuance of the Shares, the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to
our outstanding securities, and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception
that such issuances or sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that
market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common
stock.
Substantial
future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We
expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the near future to continue our planned operations. Sales of a substantial
number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price
of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to
predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our shares.
We
have financed our operations, and we expect to continue to finance our operations, acquisitions, if any, and the development of strategic
relationships by issuing equity, warrants and/or convertible securities, which could significantly reduce the percentage ownership of
our existing stockholders. Further, any additional financing that we secure may require the granting of rights, preferences or privileges
senior to, or pari passu with, those of common stock. Additionally, we may acquire other technologies or finance strategic alliances
by issuing our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution. Any issuances by us of equity securities
may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest,
which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may also raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt
or the issuance or sale of other securities or instruments senior to our shares of common stock. The holders of any securities or instruments
we may issue may have rights superior to the rights of our holders of our common stock. If we experience dilution from issuance of additional
securities and we grant superior rights to new securities over common stockholders, it may negatively impact the trading price of our
shares of common stock.
We
could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder
interests and impairing their voting rights; and provisions in our charter documents could discourage a takeover that stockholders may
consider favorable.
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) authorizes the issuance of “blank check”
preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board. The Board is empowered,
without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which
could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could
be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for the Board to issue
preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our Company.
We
do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate
purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board. Accordingly, investors must rely on
sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
General
Risk Factors
Economic
uncertainties or downturns, or political changes, in the United States and globally, could limit the availability of funds available
to our customers and potential customers, which could materially adversely affect our business.
Our
results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the economy and financial markets, both in the U.S. and globally,
including conditions that are outside of our control, such as the continuing uncertainty regarding the duration and scope of the COVID-19
pandemic, global supply chain disruptions, the recent inflation in the United States and the foreign and domestic government sanctions
imposed on Russia as a result of its recent invasion of Ukraine. There continues to be volatility and disruptions in the capital and
credit markets, and a severe or prolonged economic downturn, including, but not limited to as a result of such events, could result in
a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and our ability to raise additional capital when needed
on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could strain our suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause
delays in payments for our services. In turn, we may be required to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, which would adversely
affect our financial results. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current
economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.
Changes
in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and export restrictions, could have an adverse impact on our business
operations and sales.
The
United States or foreign governments may enact changes in government trade policies that could adversely impact our ability to sell products
in certain countries, particularly in China. For example, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on certain Chinese imports and, in
return, the Chinese government has imposed or proposed tariffs on certain U.S. products. We cannot predict what actions may ultimately
be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between certain countries, what products may be subject to such actions, or what
actions may be taken by other countries in response. It also may not be possible to anticipate the timing or duration of such tariffs,
export restrictions, or other regulatory actions. These government trade policies may materially adversely affect our sales and operations
with current customers as well as impede our ability to develop relationships with new customers.
There
is a risk of further escalation and retaliatory actions between the U.S. and other foreign governments. If significant tariffs or other
restrictions are placed on goods exported from China or any related counter-measures are taken, our revenue and results of operations
may be materially harmed. These tariffs may also make our products more expensive for customers, which may reduce customer demand.
There
is also a risk that the U.S. government may seek to implement more protective trade measures, not just with respect to China but with
respect to other countries as well, such as those imposed on Russia in connection with its recent invasion of Ukraine. This could include
new or higher tariffs and even more restrictive trade barriers, such as prohibiting certain types of, or all sales of certain products
or products sold by certain parties into the U.S. Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade could have a materially
adverse impact on our business and financial results.
If
we are unable to attract, integrate and retain additional qualified personnel, including top technical talent, our business could be
adversely affected.
Our
future success depends in part on our ability to identify, attract, integrate and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales
and other personnel. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous other companies, including other software and
technology companies, many of whom have greater financial and other resources than we do. Some of these characteristics may be more appealing
to high-quality candidates than those we have to offer. In addition, new hires often require significant training and, in many cases,
take significant time before they achieve full productivity. We may incur significant costs to attract and retain qualified personnel,
including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits and compensation expenses related to equity awards, and we may lose
new employees to our competitors or other companies before we realize the benefit of our investment in recruiting and training them.
Moreover, new employees may not be or become as productive as we expect, as we may face challenges in adequately or appropriately integrating
them into our workforce and culture. If we are unable to attract, integrate and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable
of meeting our growing technical, operational and managerial requirements, on a timely basis or at all, our business will be adversely
affected.
We
may be subject to litigation for a variety of claims, which could adversely affect our results of operations, harm our reputation or
otherwise negatively impact our business.
We
may be subject to litigation for a variety of claims arising from our normal business activities. These may include claims, suits, and
proceedings involving labor and employment, wage and hour, commercial and other matters. The outcome of any litigation, regardless of
its merits, is inherently uncertain. Any claims and lawsuits, and the disposition of such claims and lawsuits, could be time-consuming
and expensive to resolve, divert management attention and resources, and lead to attempts on the part of other parties to pursue similar
claims. Any adverse determination related to litigation could adversely affect our results of operations, harm our reputation or otherwise
negatively impact our business. In addition, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, a resolution of a legal matter could
materially affect our future operating results, our cash flows or both.
The
requirements of being a U.S. public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.
As
a U.S. public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act,
the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, and other applicable securities rules and regulations.
Compliance
with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs, makes some activities more difficult, time-consuming,
or costly, and increases demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual and
current reports with respect to our business and operating results.
As
a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, as well
as in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition is more visible, which we believe may result in threatened
or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results
could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources
necessary to resolve them, could divert resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.

without limitation, all registration and filing fees, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue
sky” laws.

DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings
for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate declaring or paying dividends in the foreseeable
future. The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our results of operations, capital
requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our future
debt agreements, and other factors that the Board may deem relevant.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES THAT THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS ARE OFFERING
The
Selling Stockholders are offering for resale up to an aggregate of 808,377 shares of common stock. The terms of our shares of common stock are contained
in our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, each as amended to date and each as filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits
to our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. For a description of our common stock, see Exhibit
4.10—Description of Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of blank
check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Board may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time
to time.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Each
Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any
or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may
use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
● |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
● |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
● |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
● |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
● |
privately
negotiated transactions; |
|
|
● |
settlement
of short sales; |
|
|
● |
in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated
price per security; |
|
|
● |
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
● |
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
● |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available,
rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction
not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup
or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the
delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company
has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders
without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for
the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar
effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule
of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable
state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered
or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is
complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation
M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the
sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITY
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the issuance of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Sullivan & Worcester LLP, New York, New York.

14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Under
Nevada law, a corporation may include in its articles of incorporation a provision that eliminates or limits the personal liability of
a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, but no such provision
may eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, (b) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, (c) for conduct violating the NRS, or
(d) for any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director
is not legally entitled.
Section
78.7502 of the NRS provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the
person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
NRS
Section 78.4502 also provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that indemnification may not
be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion
of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that
in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court
deems proper.
Any
indemnification pursuant to the above provisions may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a)
by the stockholders; (b) by the Board by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit
or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide, among other things, that a director or officer
of the corporation may be indemnified against expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees inclusive of any appeal),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, or investigative, to the fullest extent permitted under the NRS, unless it is ultimately determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Directors and officers of the corporation cannot
be personally liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except (a) for acts of omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud,
or knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the NRS.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be provided for directors, officers, employees, agents or persons
controlling an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer
or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
At
the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which
indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding, which may result in a claim
for such indemnification.

15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The
following is a summary of all of our securities sold by us within the past three years which were not registered under the Securities
Act.
On
September 2, 2021, the Company, and TicketSmarter, LLC (“TicketSmarter”) on behalf of itself and its wholly owned subsidiary
Goody Tickets, LLC, and members of TicketSmarter, entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “UPA”), pursuant to which,
the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of TicketSmarter, for aggregate consideration of approximately
$13.3 million, (subject to adjustment) including cash of approximately $8.9 million and 35,987 shares of Company Common Stock with a
value of approximately $990,360, which consideration was paid at closing. Such consideration includes up to approximately $3.7
million structured as contingent payment in additional cash and shares of Common Stock if TicketSmarter achieves certain EBITDA milestones
prior to March 31, 2022, as set forth in the UPA.
The
UPA contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. The closing of the UPA and the acquisition also occurred on September
2, 2021. Mr. Jeffrey Goodman and Mr. Michael Goodman, will be employed by Digital TicketSmarter as Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operations Officer, respectively, and they each executed certain restricted stock grant agreements with the Company, whereby the Company issued 5,000 restricted shares of Common Stock and 2,500 shares
of Common Stock to Mr. Jeffrey Goodman and Mr. Michael Goodman, respectively, subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s
2020 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan. The restricted shares of Common Stock were valued based on the closing price of the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the day of grant. The restricted shares of Common Stock will vest in equal installments over a five-year
period beginning on the first anniversary date each recipient began employment.
The
issuance of the 35,987 restricted common shares and the total issuance of the 7,500 shares of restricted common stock to Jefferey Goodman
and Michael Goodman were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”) because Jefferey Goodman and Michael Goodman had a pre-existing relationship with the Company, there
was no general solicitation made, and the investors represented their sophistication. Furthermore, the creditor made representations
that the securities issued to extinguish the obligations were taken for investment purposes and not with a view to resale.
On
August 23, 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (collectively, the “New Warrant Exchange Agreements”) with
each of the January 2021 Investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of 303,750 shares of
Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation by the January 2021 Investors of the January 2021 Warrants, the August 2021 Exchange Warrants
and the August 2021 Replacement Warrants. Each of the New Warrant Exchange Agreements provides that, for a period of 60 days, the Company
will not issue shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, or otherwise file any registration statement
with respect to the issuance of such securities, subject in each case to certain exceptions described more fully in the New Warrant Exchange
Agreements.
On
October 13, 2022 the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain
institutional investors (the “October 2022 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private
placement (the “October 2022 Offering”), 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 100,000 shares of the Company’s Series
B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”, and together with the
Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), at an offering price of $9.50 per share, representing a 5% original
issue discount to the stated value of $10.00 per share, for gross aggregate proceeds of $15 million in the October 2022 Offering,
before the deduction of discounts, fees and offering expenses. The shares of Preferred Stock will, under certain circumstances, be convertible
into shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock and, in certain circumstances, by the Company. The Purchase
Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the October 2022 Investors, and customary
conditions to closing. The October 2022 Offering closed on October 19, 2022.
In
connection with the October 2022 Offering, the Company agreed to pay A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Financial Advisor”)
an aggregate cash fee equal to $750,000 and to reimburse the Financial Advisor for certain of its expenses in an amount not to exceed
$135,000.
On
January 10, 2023, the Company awarded an aggregate of 35,000 shares of restricted common stock to its employees which will vest pursuant
to their respective vesting schedules provided that they remain employees on each such date.
On
April 5, 2023, the Company entered into and consummated the initial closing (the “First Closing”) of the transactions contemplated
by a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 5, 2023 (the “2023 Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and certain
investors (the “2023 Purchasers”). At the First Closing, the Company issued and sold to the 2023 Purchasers Senior Secured
Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “2023 Notes”) and warrants (the “2023
Warrants”). The 2023 Purchase Agreement provided for ten percent (10%) original interest discount resulting in gross proceeds
to the Company of $2,700,000. No interest accrues under the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate 1,125,000 shares comprised
of 375,000 warrants at an exercise price of $5.50 per share of the Company’s common stock, 375,000 warrants at an exercise price
of $6.50 per share of common stock, and 375,000 warrants at an exercise price of $7.50 per share of common stock. Subject to certain
conditions, within 18 months from the effectiveness date and while the 2023 Notes remain outstanding, the 2023 Purchasers have the right
to require the Company to consummate a second closing of up to an additional $3,000,000 of 2023 Notes and 2023 Warrants on the same terms
and conditions as the First Closing, except that the 2023 Notes may be subordinate to a mortgage on the Company’s headquarters
building (the “Bank Mortgage”). The 2023 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at the election of the
2023 Purchasers at any time at a fixed conversion price of $5.00 (the “Conversion Price”) per share of common stock. The
Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to
price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common
stock at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). Subject to certain conditions, including
certain equity conditions, the Company may redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Note for cash in an
amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the “Optional Redemption Amount”). In addition,
the Purchasers may, at their option, demand repayment at the Optional Redemption Amount upon five (5) business days’ written notice
following (i) the closing by the Company of the Bank Mortgage, or (ii) a sale by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents.
On
June 24, 2024, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the “June 2024 Private Placement”), pursuant
to a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “June 2024 Purchasers”) for aggregate
gross proceeds of approximately $2.9 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company
in connection with the June 2024 Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the June 2024 Private
Placement for inventory purchases, artist costs for upcoming festivals, transaction cost, expanded sales, marketing, partial prepayment
of an outstanding note and general working capital. Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), acted as the exclusive placement agent
for the June 2024 Private Placement, which closed on June 25, 2024. As part of the June 2024 Private Placement, the Company
issued an aggregate of 1,195,219 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $2.51 per
unit (less $0.00001 per pre-funded unit). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
(the “Common Stock”) (or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)),
(ii) one Series A warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrant”) and (iii) one Series B warrant to
purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as will be determined on the Reset Date (as defined below) and in accordance with the
terms therein (the “Series B Warrant”, and together with the Series A Warrant, the “Warrants”). The Pre-Funded
Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock and will not expire until exercised in
full. The Series A Warrants will be exercisable at any time or times on or after the date Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Series
A Warrant) is obtained, have an initial exercise price of $2.51 per share of Common Stock and a term of 5 years after the later of (a)
the date that the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval and (b) the earlier of (i) the Resale Effective Date (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement (as defined below)) registering all of the Registerable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
or (ii) the date that the Registerable Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred without restriction or limitation pursuant to
Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Series B Warrants will be exercisable at any time or times on or after
the date Stockholder Approval is obtained, have an initial exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock and will not expire until
exercised in full. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Series B Warrants will be determined following the earliest
to occur of: (i) the date on which a resale registration statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities has been declared
effective for 20 consecutive trading days, (ii) the date on which the June 2024 Purchasers may sell the Registrable Securities
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, and (iii) twelve months and 20 days following
the issuance date of the Series B Warrants (the “Reset Date”), in each case, pursuant to the lowest daily weighted average
trading price of the shares of Common Stock during a period of 20 trading days, subject to a pricing floor of $0.502 per share of Common
Stock (the “Floor Price”), such that, assuming the Floor Price, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying the
Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants would be an aggregate of approximately 5,976,095 shares and 4,780,877 shares, respectively. The
Company has undertaken to file a resale registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities on behalf the June 2024
Purchasers pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), also entered into with
the June 2024 Purchasers in connection with the June 2024 Private Placement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company shall file the resale registration statement within twenty (20) trading days after the closing of the June 2024 Private
Placement, and the resale registration statement shall be effective within thirty (30) calendar days following the filing date (or, in
the event of a full review by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), fifty (50) calendar
days following the filing date).
On
November 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement”)
with certain institutional investors (the “November 2024 Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue
and sell to such November 2024 Purchasers, in a private placement transaction, (i) senior secured promissory notes in aggregate principal
amount of $3,600,000 (the “Notes”), and (ii) 808,377 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company (such
transaction, the “November 2024 Private Placement”). The November 2024 Private Placement closed on November 7, 2024 (the
“November 2024 Private Placement Closing Date”). Pursuant to the November 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company
is required to use approximately $2,015,623 of the net proceeds from the November 2024 Private Placement to pay, in full, all liabilities,
obligations and indebtedness owing by the Company and its subsidiary, Kustom (the “Borrowers”), to Mosh Man, LLC (the “Lender”),
in respect of that certain promissory note and note purchase agreement and related documents by and among the Borrowers and the Lender
(collectively, the “Mosh Man Note”). The Company’s full repayment of the outstanding obligations under the Mosh Man
Note will effectively terminate the public sale process of the collateral securing the Borrowers’ obligations thereunder, which
sale process was disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 28, 2024 and again November
4, 2024. The Company anticipates that the remaining net proceeds from the November 2024 Private Placement after repayment of the Mosh
Man Note, and after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, will meet the Company’s capital needs for approximately
three months after the November 2024 Private Placement Closing Date, subsequent to which the Company anticipates that it will need to
raise additional funds to implement its business plan and to service its ongoing operations. The Company also anticipates pursuing the
sale of its video solutions business in the short term. Pursuant to the November 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall
file within 30 days of the November 2024 Private Placement Closing Date a registration statement with the SEC for a public offering and
use its reasonable best efforts to pursue and consummate a financing transaction within 90 days of the November 2024 Private Placement
Closing Date. The proceeds of the public offering shall be used as set forth in the registration statement, including the repayment of
the principal amounts of the Notes. The Company shall also file within 30 days of the November 2024 Private Placement Closing Date a
registration statement on Form S-1 (or other appropriate form if the Company is not then S-1 eligible) providing for the resale by the
November 2024 Purchasers of the Shares issued under the November 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 days following the filing thereof and to keep such
registration statement effective at all times until no November 2024 Purchaser owns any Shares. Furthermore, pursuant to the November
2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, within five (5) days of the signing the November 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) the Company’s
board of directors shall approve an amendment to the Bylaws setting the quorum required for a special meeting of stockholders to one-third
of all stockholders entitled to vote at such special meeting and (ii) the Company shall file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement
on Schedule 14A announcing a meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving the Series A and Series B warrants issued by the Company
on June 25, 2024. On November 6, 2024, the Company adopted Amendment No. 1 to Bylaws
with the approval of the Board. The Bylaws were amended to reduce the quorum requirement at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders
to thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting. Furthermore,
in order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the November 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the
Company shall cause its wholly owned subsidiaries, to the extent permitted under such subsidiaries’ existing obligations, to guarantee
the payment of and performance of obligations under the Notes. The Company agreed to use best efforts to enter into subsidiary guarantees
to that effect. On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Secured Subsidiary Guarantee (the “Guarantee”),
by and among the Company, TicketSmarter, Kustom 440, Inc. (“Kustom 440”), and Kustom (each of TicketSmarter, Kustom 440 and
Kustom a “Guarantor” and together, the “Guarantors”). Pursuant to the Guarantee, the Guarantors guarantee to
the November 2024 Purchasers the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee).
Except
as stated above, no underwriters were involved in the foregoing sales of securities. The issuances of the securities described above
were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation
D promulgated under the Securities Act. The recipients of securities in such transactions represented their intention to acquire the
securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends
were affixed to the stock certificates and option agreements issued in such transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through
their relationships with us, to information about us.
The
list of exhibits in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement is incorporated herein by reference.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) |
To

|
|
(i) |

include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; |
|
|
(ii) |
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration
statement; and |
|
|
(iii) |
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement
or any material change to such information in this registration statement; |
provided,
however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to

Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated
by reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this
registration statement;
(2) |

|
(3) |
To

termination of the offering; |
(4) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser: |
(i) |
Each

at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities
in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior
to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part
of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; |
(5) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the
initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned
registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser,
if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant
will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) |
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424; |
|
|
(ii) |
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by
the undersigned registrant; |
|
|
(iii) |
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
(iv) |
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser; |
|
|
(6) |
That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof; |
|
|
(7) |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Lenexa, State of Kansas, on December 30, 2024.

December

Digital
Ally, Inc.
14001
Marshall Drive
Lenexa,
KS 66215
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as securities counsel for Digital Ally, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation
of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) filed December 30,
2024 by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the proposed public offering of up to an aggregate of 808,377 shares (the
“Shares”), of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company, issued pursuant to that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 6, 2024, by and between the Company and the selling stockholders (such agreement,
the “Purchase Agreement”). The Shares are referred to herein as the “Securities”. The holders of the Securities
are collectively referred to herein as the “Selling Stockholders.”
In
connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction
of the following: (i) the Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed therewith, (ii) the Purchase Agreement and all exhibits
and schedules attached thereto, (iii) the minutes of meetings and resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or pricing committee
thereof as provided to us by the Company, (iv) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended
to date, and (v) such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In
addition to the foregoing, we have relied as to matters of fact upon the representations made by the Company and its representatives
and upon representations made by the Selling Stockholders. We also have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us
as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents
where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents. Other than our examination of the
documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.
We
are members of the Bar of the State of New York. We do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with, or expressing any opinion with
respect to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
“NRS”). Accordingly, the opinions expressed herein are expressly limited to the laws of the State of New York and Chapter
78 of the NRS. Our opinion is based on these laws as in effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any
other jurisdiction are applicable to the subject matter hereof. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or
state law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
Based
upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein,
we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company, and such Shares, when issued to the Selling
Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and upon payment to the Company of the required consideration in accordance
with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock.
This
opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter if any applicable
laws change after the date of this opinion letter or if we become aware after the date of this opinion letter of any facts, whether existing
before or arising after the date hereof, that might change the opinions expressed above.
This
opinion is furnished in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and may not be relied upon for any other purpose without
our prior written consent in each instance. Further, no portion of this opinion may be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other
document for any other purpose without our prior written consent.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm
