NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
 
Brekford Corp. (OTCBB; OTCQB: BFDI) headquartered in Hanover, Maryland is a leading public safety technology service provider of fully integrated traffic safety solutions, parking enforcement citation collections and integrator of mobile technology equipment for public safety vehicle services to State and Local municipalities, the U.S. Military and various Federal public safety agencies throughout the United States. Brekford’s combination of upfitting services, cutting edge technology, and automated traffic enforcement services offers a unique 360º solution for law enforcement agencies and municipalities. Our core values of integrity, accountability, respect, and teamwork drive our employees to achieve excellence and deliver industry leading technology and services, thereby enabling a superior level of safety solutions to our clients.

As used in these notes, the terms “Brekford”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Brekford Corp. and, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiary.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements.  In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from audited financial statements of that date.  The interim condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year or any future interim period.  We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The consolidated financial statements of Brekford include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Municipal Recovery Agency, LLC. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, allowance for inventory obsolescence, fair value of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, and the depreciable lives of fixed assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains cash accounts with major financial institutions. From time to time, amounts deposited may exceed the FDIC insured limits.

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are carried at estimated net realizable value. The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectable accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company calculates the allowance based on a specific analysis of past due balances. Past due status for a particular customer is based on how recently payments have been received from that customer. Historically, the Company’s actual collection experience has not differed significantly from its estimates, due primarily to credit and collections practices and the financial strength of its customers.

Inventory

Inventory principally consists of hardware and third-party packaged software that is modified to conform to customer specifications and held temporarily until the completion of a contract. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is determined by the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, while market value is determined by replacement cost for raw materials and parts and net realizable value for work-in- process.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture, vehicles, computer equipment and software and phone equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (two to ten years), and leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term (which is three to five years).

Management reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue relating to its vehicle upfitting solutions when all of the following criteria have been satisfied:  (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery or installation has been completed; (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company considers delivery to its customers to have occurred at the time at which products are delivered and/or installation work is completed and the customer acknowledges its acceptance of the work.

The Company provides its customers with a warranty against defects in the installation of its vehicle upfitting solutions for one year from the date of installation.  Warranty claims were insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The Company also performs warranty repair services on behalf of the manufacturers of the equipment it sells.

The Company also offers separately-priced extended warranty and product maintenance contracts to its customers on the equipment sold by the Company. Revenues from extended warranty services are apportioned over the period of the extended warranty service contracts and the warranty costs are expensed as incurred. Revenue from extended warranties for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $339,712 and $263,757, respectively.
 
For automated traffic safety enforcement revenue, the Company recognizes the revenue when the required collection efforts are completed and the respective municipality is billed depending on the terms of the respective contract. The Company records revenue related to automated traffic violations for the Company’s share of the violation amount.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, in measuring and disclosing stock based compensation cost.  The measurement objective in ASC Paragraph 718-10-30-6 requires public companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award.  The cost is recognized in expense over the period in which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period).  Performance-based awards are expensed ratably from the date that the likelihood of meeting the performance measures is probable through the end of the vesting period.

Treasury Stock

The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method.  As of September 30, 2014, 10,600 shares of Brekford Corp. common stock were held in treasury at an aggregate cost of $5,890.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Income tax expense includes income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense, if any, consists of the taxes payable for the current period. Valuation allowances are established when the realization of deferred tax assets are not considered more likely than not.

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and with the revenue services of various states. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it takes and expects to take on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

(Loss) Earnings per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and does not include the effect of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  Diluted (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the effect of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  There is no dilutive effect on the loss per share during loss periods. See Note 10 for the calculation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s promissory note obligations approximate fair value, as the terms of these notes are consistent with terms available in the market for instruments with similar risk.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents temporarily restricted deposits held as compensating balances against outstanding balances due under our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 3) from Rosenthal. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had restricted cash of approximately $1,034,042.
  
Segment Reporting

FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about operating segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Based on its current analysis, management has determined that the Company has only one operating segment, which is Traffic Safety Solutions. The chief operating decision-makers use combined results to make operating and strategic decisions, and, therefore, the Company believes its entire operation is covered under a single segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB amended the ASC and created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. We have not yet determined the effects of this new guidance on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 – LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE
 
On May 27, 2014, Brekford Corp. closed (the “Closing”) on an aggregate $3.0 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”) as lender consisting of $2.5 million in revolving loans (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $500,000 non-revolving loan (the “Term Loan”). The terms and conditions of the Credit Facility are set forth in a Financing Agreement between the Company and Rosenthal dated May 27, 2014 (the “Financing Agreement”). The Term Loan is additionally evidenced by a Term Note issued by the Company in favor of Rosenthal. The maximum amount that the Company may borrow from time to time under the Revolving Facility will be the lesser of $2.5 million or the “Loan Availability” (as defined in the Financing Agreement), which is tied to the amount of the Company’s “Eligible Receivables” (as defined in the Financing Agreement) and the amount of its “Eligible Inventory” (as defined in the Financing Agreement). Interest on the unpaid principal balances due under the Credit Facility will be payable monthly in arrears. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Facility that do not exceed the “Receivable Availability” (as defined in the Financing Agreement) will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate from time to time publicly announced in New York City by JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Prime Rate”) plus 2.5%; amounts borrowed under the Revolving Facility that relate to the “Inventory Availability” (as defined in the Financing Agreement) will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 3.0% (the “Inventory Rate”); and any amounts that, on any day, exceed the Loan Availability will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Inventory Rate plus 4.0%; provided, however, that the Prime Rate will never be deemed to be less than 4.0%. The Company agreed to pay a minimum of $3,000 in monthly interest under the Revolving Facility, as well as a $1,000 monthly loan administration fee. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Rosenthal a facility fee at the Closing in the amount of $30,000. At each annual renewal of the Financing Agreement, the Company will pay Rosenthal a facility fee in the amount of $18,750. 

The Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement and related documents are secured by a continuing lien on and security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company’s repayment obligations under the Revolving Facility are due on demand by Rosenthal or, at Rosenthal’s option, upon the expiration of the Financing Agreement and/or the occurrence of an event of default thereunder. The original term of the Financing Agreement will expire on May 31, 2016 but will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless the Company elects not to renew the Financing Agreement by providing at least 60 days’ prior written notice thereof to Rosenthal. Rosenthal may terminate the Financing Agreement at any time upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

The Credit Facility replaced the Company’s $2.0 million credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), under that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2012, as amended (the “PNC Facility”), and refinanced the amounts that were due under the PNC Facility. At the Closing, the Company paid approximately $1,030,707 to PNC in satisfaction of its obligations under the PNC Facility. In addition, the Company used proceeds from the Credit Facility, totaling approximately $310,649, to satisfy its obligations to Bank of America, N.A., under its Master Lease Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2011.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE – STOCKHOLDERS

Brekford Corp. financed the repurchase of shares of its common stock and warrants from the proceeds of convertible promissory notes that were issued by Brekford Corp. on November 9, 2009 in favor of a lender group that included two of its directors, Messrs. C.B. Brechin and Scott Rutherford, in the principal amounts of $250,000 each (each, a “Promissory Note” and together, the “Promissory Notes”). Each Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and at the time of issuance was to be convertible into shares of Brekford Corp. common stock, at the option of the holder, at an original conversion price of $.07 per share. At the time of issuance, Brekford agreed to pay the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest on the date that was the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance date or (ii) 10 business days after the date on which Brekford Corp. closes an equity financing that generates gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000.

On April 1, 2010, Brekford Corp. and each member of the lender group executed a First Amendment to the Unsecured Promissory Note, which amended the Promissory Notes as follows:

Revise the conversion price in the provision that allows the holder of the Promissory Note to elect to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the Promissory Note and any accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the common stock at a price of fourteen cents ($0.14) per share, and

Each Promissory Note’s maturity date was extended to the earlier of (i) four years from the issuance date or (ii) 10 business days after the date on which Brekford closes an equity financing that generates gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000.
 
On November 8, 2013, Brekford Corp. and each member of the lender group agreed to extend the maturity dates of the Promissory Notes to the earlier of (i) November 9, 2014 or (ii) 10 business days after the date on which Brekford Corp. closes an equity financing that generates gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000.

On November 4, 2014, Brekford Corp. and each member of the lender group agreed to further extend the maturity dates of the Promissory Notes to the earlier of (i) November 9, 2015 or (ii) 10 business days after the date on which Brekford Corp. closes an equity financing that generates gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000

Our core values of integrity, accountability, respect, and teamwork drive our employees to achieve excellence and deliver industry leading technology and services, thereby enabling a superior level of safety solutions to our clients.
 
Products and Services

Public safety is a major concern for most communities – especially as populations grow, public safety budgets are reduced. One way to help make streets safer while reducing workload is a well-run photo red light or speed enforcement program. The objective of photo enforcement is to help curtail aggressive driving through voluntary compliance. Revenue generated from fines routinely goes directly back into supporting other public safety initiatives.

Although opponents of red light cameras cite the increase in rear end collisions as cause for disapproval of cameras, a study conducted in February 2011 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (the “IIHS”) reported that red-light cameras reduced fatal red light running crashes by 24% in 14 large U.S. cities with populations over 200,000.  IIHS concluded that if red light cameras had been operating in all 99 U.S. cities with populations over 200,000 during this study period (five years), a total of 815 deaths could have been avoided.  Because the types of crashes prevented by red light cameras tend to be far more severe than rear-end crashes, research has shown there is a positive aggregate benefit. Photo Enforcement solutions can reduce collisions, injuries and deaths by providing a useful tool for municipalities and law enforcement agencies, without unduly taxing drivers who do not break the law. Today, more than 600 communities across the U.S. operate red light or speed camera enforcement programs.

Regardless of the increased safety effects and prevention of fatalities, there is still a common misconception that automated traffic safety enforcement systems are not supported by the general public.  An IIHS survey conducted in November, 2012 found that a large majority of people living in Washington, D.C., one of the largest combined red light and speed enforcement programs in the U.S., favor camera enforcement.  Of those surveyed, 87% support red light cameras and 76% support speed cameras.  Even the majority of violators (59%) agreed that they deserved their most recent citation.

Brekford’s automated traffic safety enforcement (“ATSE”) products offer intersection safety (red light), photo speed, work zone and school bus enforcement options by way of a complete suite of solution-based products.  By assembling a team of industry professionals with the most experience in this field, we have developed equipment and a full turn-key solution that we believe will ensure the success of any program.  Having the advantage of a team with experience, we have created and implemented some of the most cutting-edge features into our design – while constructing end-to-end systems specifically with our clients’ needs in mind.

Automated Traffic Safety Enforcement - Photo Speed & Red Light Enforcement
 
ATSE systems are one of a wide range of measures that are effective at reducing vehicle speeds and crashes. The automated speed enforcement (“ASE”) system is an enforcement technique with one or more motor vehicle sensors producing recorded images of motor vehicles traveling at speeds above a defined threshold. Images captured by the ASE system are processed and reviewed in an office environment and violation notices are mailed to the registered owner of the identified vehicle. ASE is a technology available to law enforcement as a supplement and not a replacement for traditional enforcement operations. Evaluations of ASE, both internationally and in the United States have identified some advantages over traditional speed enforcement methods.  These include:

High rate of violation detection. ASE units can detect and record multiple violations per minute. This can provide a strong deterrent effect by increasing drivers’ perceived likelihood of being cited for speeding.
Physical safety of ASE operators and motorists. ASE can operate at locations where roadside traffic stops are dangerous or infeasible, and where traffic conditions are unsafe for police vehicles to enter the traffic stream and stop suspected violators. With ASE there is normally no vehicle pursuit or confrontation with motorists. ASE might also reduce the occurrence of traffic congestion due to driver distraction caused by traffic stops on the roadside.
Fairness of operation. Violations are recorded for all vehicles traveling in excess of the enforcement speed threshold.  Efficient use of resources. ASE can act as a “force multiplier,” enhancing the influence of limited traffic enforcement staff and resources.
 
Beyond traditional tax collection on income or property, state agencies and local municipalities rely heavily on fine and fee revenue generated from a multitude of violator funded sources.  For example, jurisdictions generate sizable revenues from court fees, traffic and parking violations, ordinance infractions, and library and utility arrearages. Each of these revenue sources funds public safety and community development initiatives and without the income the services are curtailed. Brekford offers client-specific solutions to these agencies and municipalities to assist them with collecting unpaid fines, including:

Notification Continuance
Mail House and Printing Service
Data Purification and Verification Service
Back Office Support Service
 
-  Call Center Response (Inbound & Out Bound)
-  Lock-Box & Treasury Services
-  Payment Processing

Electronic Ticketing System - Slick-Ticket ™
 
Many of today’s law enforcement agencies are struggling to balance the increasing demand from their citizens for more services with limited and/or declining budgets. One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways agencies can address this issue is by deploying an electronic ticketing, or E-Ticketing solution. Automating the ticket issuing and processing system can significantly decrease cost, increase productivity and improve officer safety.

Brekford offers a unique functionality that streamlines the data entry process even further.  Many law enforcement agencies that have deployed a mobile data system run background queries from national (NCIC), state, and local databases and Brekford’s solution captures the data from these mobile query files and auto-populates all of the requisite data into the electronic citation (E-Tix) form on the screen.  Brekford’s Slick-Ticket ™ product is a fully portable, over-the-seat organizer for public safety vehicles, specially designed to house a printer and scanner to allow law enforcement officers to quickly access driver's license and registration information as well as issue tickets, warnings and citations.

Revenues
 
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $13,869,147 as compared to revenues of $11,759,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $2,109,338 or 17.94%. The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period of last year was primarily due to increased sales of Rugged IT products as well as professional upfitting services for our Vehicle Services product line.  ATSE sales experienced a modest decrease year over year as existing programs continue to mature, resulting in improved driver behavior and lower violation rates within communities served.  The Company continues to focus on generating efficient and stable growth in our Vehicle Services offerings, while building a pipeline of future recurring revenue streams for ATSE.  We anticipate increasing contributions from our ATSE product line as new clients and contracts are added.

Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $11,454,502 as compared to $9,152,810 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $2,301,692 or 25.15%. The increase was primarily due to additional purchases of Rugged IT products corresponding to increased sales, offset by decreased direct labor costs for Vehicle Services installation.  Cost of revenues for Vehicle Services increased at a slightly lower rate than the revenue percentage increase, while ATSE cost of revenues decreased at a rate slightly higher than the corresponding revenue rate decrease.  These improvements were due mainly to increased operational efficiencies and professional services sales for Vehicle Services and improved conversion and collection rates for ATSE.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2,414,645 as compared to $2,606,999 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $192,354 or 7.38%. Gross margin percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 17.41% as compared to 22.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Although gross margin percentages for both Vehicle Services and ATSE increased year over year, the overall gross margin decrease is attributable to a higher proportion of the gross margin being generated by Vehicle Services.  The Company continues to work on limiting costs for all product lines; however, within a given period overall gross margin percentages will be dependent upon the sales mix contributions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $2,114,605 as compared to $2,022,214 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $92,391 or 4.57%. The slight increase was primarily driven by additional corporate, professional, and consulting expenses.  

Net (Loss) Income
 
The Company recorded a net loss of $1,237,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $968,960 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $268,298 or 27.69%. The increase was primarily due to lower gross profit margins based on the sales mix contributions of Vehicle Services and ATSE as referenced above.  Despite the increased loss year over year, growth in Vehicle Services and a renewed focus on the ATSE pipeline should enable the Company to mitigate losses moving forward.

Revenues
 
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $5,314,554 as compared to revenues of $3,697,372 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, representing an increase of $1,617,182 or 43.74%.  The increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period of last year was primarily due to increased sales for rugged IT products, electronic ticketing, and professional upfitting services for our Vehicle Services product line.  ATSE sales experienced a modest decrease year over year as existing programs continue to mature, resulting in improved driver behavior and lower violation rates within communities served.  The Company continues to focus on generating efficient and stable growth in our Vehicle Services offerings, while building a pipeline of future recurring revenue streams for ATSE.  We anticipate increasing contributions from our ATSE product line as new clients and contracts are added.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $4,148,130 as compared to $3,018,873 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1,129,257 or 37.41%.  The increase was primarily due to additional purchases of Rugged IT products corresponding to increased sales, offset by decreased direct labor costs for Vehicle Services installation.  Cost of revenues for Vehicle Services increased at a slightly lower rate than the revenue percentage increase, while ATSE cost of revenues decreased at a rate significantly higher than the corresponding revenue rate decrease.  These improvements were due mainly to increased operational efficiencies and professional services sales for Vehicle Services and improved conversion and collection rates for ATSE.

Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $1,166,424 as compared to $678,499 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $487,925 or 71.91%.  Gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 21.95% as compared to 18.35% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Gross margin percentages for both Vehicle Services and ATSE increased year over year, with Vehicle Services driving a higher percentage of the sales mix contribution, resulting in the overall increase.  The Company continues to work on limiting costs for all product lines; however, within a given period overall gross margin percentages will be dependent upon the sales mix contributions.

Salaries and Related Expenses
 
Salaries and related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $485,530 as compared to $513,474 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $27,944 or 5.44%.  The decrease was primarily due to a slight reduction in complement in conjunction with certain cost mitigation initiatives.  The Company will continue to monitor organizational requirements on a quarterly basis to ensure that investments in personnel ultimately correspond with future sales growth.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $473,392 as compared to $683,899 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $210,507 or 30.78%, primarily due to decreases in depreciation, and bad debt expenses.  Lower depreciation expense was the result of the disposal of certain obsolete ATSE equipment as reported in the second quarter of 2014.  Lower bad debt expense was the result of recognizing ATSE revenue when collection efforts have been completed and the respective client has been billed.

Net (Loss) Income
 
The Company recorded  net income of $161,037 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $568,492 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $729,529 or 128.33%, primarily due to increased sales and higher gross profit margins coupled with lower operating expenses.  The positive turnaround for the three months ended September 30, 2014 is a result of continued efforts to increase Vehicle Services sales and margins and improve conversion and collection rates for existing ATSE clients, while restricting unnecessary operating costs.  The Company continues to focus on building the ATSE pipeline as well with a goal to begin converting prospects to contracted clients in the future.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2014, we had total current assets of $5.2 million and total current liabilities of $5.0 million resulting in working capital of $0.2 million. Inventory totaled $0.8 million at September 30, 2014 and primarily consisted of raw materials related to future product sales.  The Company’s accumulated deficit increased to $10,305,820 at September 30, 2014 compared to $9,068,562 at December 31, 2013, as result of the net loss recorded for the first nine months of 2014. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $518,489.

At September 30, 2014, we had approximately $0.5 million unrestricted of cash on hand.  Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, dependence on significant customers, lack of operating history and uncertainty of future profitability and possible fluctuations in financial results.

The Company intends to continue its efforts to expand sales of ATSE products, and such expansion may significantly increase the Company’s working capital needs.  Management believes that the Company’s current level of cash combined with cash that it expects to generate in its operations during the next 12 months and funds available from its $3,000,000 credit facility with Rosenthal & Rosenthal will be sufficient to sustain the Company’s business initiatives through at least September 30, 2015.  Management has taken certain measures to conserve the Company’s capital resources and maintain liquidity that it believes will permit the Company to meet its future capital requirements, but there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful or adequate. At September 30, 2014, the Company had $1.7 million in outstanding indebtedness under its line of credit and the term loan with Rosenthal & Rosenthal. As of September 30, 2014, we were out of compliance with one of the financial covenants contained in our credit facility from Rosenthal & Rosenthal as a result of the loss recorded for the first nine months of 2014. We reported this non-compliance to Rosenthal and Rosenthal granted a waiver of the covenant for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30.

As discussed in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, the Company is indebted to C.B. Brechin and Scott Rutherford under unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate balance of $500,000 as of September 30, 2014. On November 4, 2014 their maturity dates were extended to the earlier of (i) November 9, 2015 or (ii) ten business days from the date on which Brekford closes an equity financing that generates gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000.

In the event that the Company’s cash reserves, cash flow from operations and funds available under its credit facilities are not sufficient to fund the Company’s future operations, it may need to obtain additional capital.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital in the future or that such capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms.  The Company’s ability to obtain additional capital will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, the Company’s operating performance and investor sentiment, which may make it difficult for the Company to consummate a transaction at the time, in the amount and/or upon the terms and conditions that the Company desires.  If the Company is unable to raise additional capital at the times, in the amounts, or upon the terms and conditions that it desires, then it might have to delay, scale back or abandon its expansion efforts.  Even with such changes, the Company’s operations could consume available capital resources and liquidity.
 
Cash Flows used in Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by our cash to support the growth of our business in areas such as selling, general and administrative. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth and fluctuations in inventory, personnel related expenditures, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities

Changes in cash flow used in operating activities resulted primarily from our net loss of $1.24 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

There were capital expenditures of $30,293 in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $304,792 for the same period in 2013. Capital expenditure during the 2013 period were primarily related to infrastructure to support our growth and to improve efficiencies.

Cash Flows provided by Financing Activities Changes in cash flows provided by financing activities resulted primarily from borrowings on our line of credit offset by principal payments under our capital equipment leases for the period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies require significant, difficult or complex judgments by management, often requiring the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 discusses those critical accounting policies and estimates that management uses to prepare our consolidated financial statements, which include those relating to accounts receivables allowances, revenue recognition and income taxes. We have reviewed those polices and believe that they remain our most critical accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and that no material changes therein have occurred.

 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer who also serves as the principal accounting officer (“CEO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain judgments and assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As discussed in Brekford Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management identified, through its annual evaluation as of December 31, 2013, a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, in that the Company does not employ a sufficient number of qualified accounting personnel to ensure proper and timely evaluation of complex accounting, tax, and disclosure issues that may arise during the course of the Company’s business.  Management has concluded that this material weakness likewise existed as of September 30, 2014.  The Company is addressing this material weakness by reviewing the Company’s accounting and finance processes to identify any improvements thereto that might enhance the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and determine the feasibility of implementing such improvements and by seeking qualified employees and/or outside consultants who possess the knowledge needed to eliminate this weakness.  The Company’s ability to remediate this weakness may, however, be delayed or limited by resource constraints, a lack of qualified persons in the Company’s market area and/or competition from other employers. As of September 30, 2014, the Company engaged in an interview process to identify an outside consultant to provide assistance with the remediation of this weakness.  The Company intends to select a consultant and define a specific engagement prior to December 31, 2014 given the availability of adequate funding.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, other than the search for the consultant as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
