ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
Our History

The Company (formerly California Cyber Design, Inc. (“CCDI”)) was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1998 and changed its name to American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“AFHI”) on August 11, 2004.  AFHI, a publicly-traded corporation with no operations, announced the completion of its share exchange transaction with Pelican Mobile Computers, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Pelican Mobile”), on January 6, 2006. Pelican Mobile exchanged each issued and outstanding share of Pelican Mobile Computers (1,000 shares issued and outstanding at the time of the share exchange) for 25,000 shares of AFHI on a post-split basis (the “Share Exchange”) with an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of common stock of AFHI issued to the former stockholders of  Pelican Mobile.  At the time of the Share Exchange, the existing stockholders of AFHI retained 5,512,103 shares of AFHI’s outstanding common stock after the cancellation of approximately 2,549,000 shares of common stock. As a result, the former stockholders of Pelican Mobile became the majority stockholders of AFHI. Under the terms of the Share Exchange, the Company changed its name to Tactical Solution Partners, Inc. On April 25, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to change its name from Tactical Solution Partners, Inc. to Brekford International Corp. to better reflect our business strategy. Subsequently, on July 9, 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to change our name from Brekford International Corp. to Brekford Corp. On October 27, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the merger of Pelican Mobile with Brekford Corp. pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with Brekford Corp. as the surviving corporation. The merger became effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Ownership and Merger with the State of Delaware (and the appropriate Articles of Merger with the State of Maryland), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The merger documents were filed with the States of Delaware and Maryland on October 28, 2010. Effective upon the completion of the merger, the Company’s corporate name of the Company remained as Brekford Corp. The operations of Pelican Mobile were continued by the Company without interruption following the merger.

Automated Traffic Safety Enforcement (“ATSE”) – Red Light and Speed Camera Systems

Public safety is a major concern for most communities – especially as populations grow, and yet there is continual pressure on public safety budgets. 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 net positive 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, nearly 600 communities across the U.S. operate red light or speed camera enforcement programs.
   
Despite 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. In 2012, IIHS reported that 633 people were killed and an estimated 133,000 were injured in crashes that involved red light running.  Speeding was a factor in 31% of motor vehicle crash deaths in 2012.

Brekford’s ATSE products offer intersection safety (red light), speed, and cell phone enforcement options by way of a complete suite of solution-based products.  Our team of industry professionals has extensive experience in this field, we have developed equipment and a full turnkey solution that we believe will ensure the success of any program.  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.

ATSE systems are one of a wide range of measures that are effective at reducing vehicle speeds and crashes. The ATSE 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 ATSE system are processed and reviewed in an office environment and violation notices are mailed to the registered owner of the identified vehicle. ATSE is a technology available to law enforcement as a supplement and not a replacement for traditional enforcement operations. Evaluations of ATSE, both internationally and in the United States have identified some advantages over traditional speed enforcement methods.  These include:

●  
High rate of violation detection. ATSE 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.
 
 
3

 
 
●  
Physical safety of ATSE operators and motorists. ATSE 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 ATSE there is normally no vehicle pursuit or confrontation with motorists. ATSE 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. ATSE 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
●  
Data purification and verification
●  
Back office support
●  
Call center response (inbound & out bound)
●  
Lock-box & treasury
●  
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.  
 
Rugged Information Technology Solutions – Mobile Data & Digital Video

Law enforcement agency, fire department and emergency medical services (“EMS”) personnel have unique requirements for fleet vehicle upfitting and IT equipment to include characteristics such as ruggedness and reliability. The equipment must be able to work in extreme environments that include high levels of vibration and shock, wide temperature ranges, varying humidity, electromagnetic interference as well as voltage and current transients. Our rugged and non-rugged IT products and mobile data communication systems provide public safety workers with the unique functionalities necessary to enable effective response to emergency situations.
  
For more than a decade, Brekford has been a distributor for most major brands in the mobile technology arena. We handle everything from Panasonic Toughbooks® and Arbitrator® digital video systems to emergency lighting systems and wireless technology.  We believe that we have all of the high-end products our customers need to handle their day-to-day operations and protect the public they serve. Every product we sell is tested by highly trained technicians and guaranteed to work in even the most extreme conditions. We specialize in seamlessly incorporating custom-built solutions within existing networks. We deliver our end-to-end solutions with service programs that work for agencies large and small, from  turnkey drop shipping to municipal leases. Our commitment is to design and deliver solutions that meet or exceed industry standards for safety, ergonomics, reliability, serviceability and uniformity.

We develop integrated, interoperable, feature-rich mobile systems that enable first responders, such as police, fire and EMS, to obtain and exchange information in real time. The rapid dissemination of real time information is critical to determine and assure timely and precise resource allocation by public sector decision makers. As a premiere Panasonic Toughbook partner, we augment these rugged laptops by designing and manufacturing vehicle mounting systems and docking stations for in-vehicle communications equipment. With rugged laptop computers, tablets and hand-helds devices, GPS terminals, two-way radios, and full console systems, we provide ergonomically sound mounting products with full port replication.

Toughbook Arbitrator is a rugged revolution in law enforcement video capture. The fully integrated system offers unparalleled video capture (up to 360 degrees), storage and transfer, and is designed to work with back-end software for seamless video management, including archiving and retrieving.  Brekford augments this solution with an Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR / LPR), an image-processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates.  License Plate Readers (LPRs) can record plates at about one per second at speeds of up to 70 MPH and they often utilize infrared cameras for clarity and to facilitate reading at any time of day or night. The data collected can either be processed in real-time, at the site of the read, or it can be transmitted to remote centers and processed at a later time.  When combined with wearable body cameras, our total client solution provides a video capture solution that maintains the chain of evidence from the initial event through to court proceedings.

360° Vehicle Solution - Upfitting
 
The Brekford 360-degree vehicle solution provides complete vehicle upfitting, mobile data and video solutions including municipal financing and leasing services for agencies. The 360-degree vehicle solutions approach provides customers with a one-stop upfitting, cutting edge technology and installation service. The comprehensive approach enables Brekford to be the only stop our customers need to make to purchase law enforcement vehicles (GM, Ford, Dodge), have them upfitted with lights, sirens, radio communication and rugged IT technology, and have them “ready to roll”. Our mission is to provide and install equipment that ensures safe and efficient mission critical vehicles while incorporating the latest technological advances. We adhere to strict quality control procedures and provide comprehensive services. The Brekford certified installation team provides our customers the highest level of expertise and service from inception to completion, including maintenance and upgrades.

Purchasing and Order Fulfillment

We work with manufacturers and distributors to secure the lowest cost possible while taking advantage of any available incentives in order to provide competitive pricing and minimize delivery time to our customers while maintaining our product margins. Typically, once our sales team receives orders from our customers, we then purchase the required products from manufacturers and sell the products to our customers.  Sales may include products only or both products and installation services.

Business Strategy
 
Brekford Corp. is a technology services provider of mobile computer and video systems through its vehicle upfitting services to homeland security agencies and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and traffic safety enforcement which includes photo speed, red light, and parking enforcement solutions and citation management for municipalities. The primary products and services from which Brekford has earned revenue and anticipates we will continue to earn revenue is through this suite of products and services.

Management estimates that the public safety communications market is a $4.2 billion market, growing at more than 10% per annum. Police, fire and EMS personnel have unique requirements for communication, ruggedness, reliability and quality. Their equipment must be able to work in extreme environments that include high levels of vibration and shock, wide temperature ranges, varying humidity, electromagnetic interference and voltage and current transients.  Furthermore, public safety personnel and emergency responders are demanding tailored mobile communication solutions that enable real-time access and exchange of critical data to assure timely and precise resource allocation by public sector decision makers. Brekford’s in-vehicle technology and communication solutions provide public safety workers and emergency responders with the unique, integrated functionalities necessary to enable effective response to emergency situations.

ATSE solutions include speed and red-light camera technologies that are increasingly in demand, as well as parking enforcement solutions with a complete turnkey backend citation management software suite. The U.S. market for red-light systems is estimated at 20,000 to 30,000 systems and the market for speed cameras is estimated at 35,000 to 50,000 systems. According to the IIHS, as of March 2015, 466 communities have red light cameras currently operating and 138 communities have speed cameras operating in at least one location. We have established a foothold in this business by securing contracts with several municipalities in the Mid-Atlantic region, and we are currently implementing plans for national and international expansion. There are only a handful of competitors that are currently providing ATSE services with three companies that are considered leaders of this industry. Management believes that the Company possesses a technical advantage over its competitors.  Due to our flexible customized solutions and superior customer service, we believe we are poised to capture increased market share in the U.S., Mexico, and other countries in the near future.
 
Competition
 
Although we operate in an industry that has experienced substantial growth in recent years, it is also characterized by customers that are extensively fragmented.  Further, although there are only a handful of competitors in our industry, competition among those companies is intense.  Larger competitors may have greater buying power and, therefore, may be able to offer better pricing than we can offer, which is one of the key factors in determining whether a contract will be awarded by local, state and federal agencies with limited budgets. The majority of our sales are to government agencies and other government contractors with historically stable operating budgets, thus our operating results and growth are largely dependent on national and local economic conditions.  At the same time, we believe that our technology, size, and strategy provide more flexibility when bidding on contracts in smaller to medium sized municipalities which collectively constitutes the majority of installation opportunities within the U.S.
 
To address these competitive pressures and industry trends, we intend to grow revenues by:
 
 
·
Offering an expanded platform of products and higher-end technical services to our existing customers;

 
·
Increasing our customer base by expanding our offerings into additional regions;

 
·
Offering a 360 Degree one-stop shop for “smart” law enforcement vehicle and municipal lease/financing options on full vehicle build-outs;

 
·
Using our placement on the General Services Administration (“GSA”), a preferred, pre-negotiated contract that provides significant revenue opportunities from federal, state and local governments, which, along with the passage of the Local Preparedness Acquisition Act, management believes will benefit our upfitting group by opening up our products and services to federal, state and local governments with which we have not done business before;

 
·
Increasing ATSE installation and services (speed, red light, and parking) both nationally and internationally. The global economic environment may present opportunities and challenges in the year ahead, yet municipalities will still need to address road safety issues and photo-enforcement is a crucial tool in that task; and

 
·
Continuing to invest in research and development to ensure that out technologies remain at the forefront of the industry.

Customers

The Company has several contracts with government agencies, of which net revenue from one customer during the year ended December 31, 2015 represented 17% of the total net revenue. Two customers accounted for 53% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015, which was subsequently collected in 2016.

Net revenue from one customer during the year ended December 31, 2014 represented 10% of the total net revenue. Accounts receivable due from one customer at December 31, 2014 amounted to 53% of total accounts receivable at that date.

Vendors

The Company purchased substantially all rugged IT products that it resold during the periods presented from a single distributor. Revenue from rugged IT products amounted to 59% and 53% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, accounts payable due to this distributor amounted to 72% and 53% of total accounts payable, respectively.
 
Government Contracts and Regulation

All companies engaged in supplying equipment and services to government agencies, either directly or by subcontract, are subject to business risks. Government contracts generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the government’s convenience, as well as termination for default based on lack of performance. Upon termination for convenience, we generally would be entitled to compensation only for work done, supplier costs and termination liability at the time of termination and to receive an allowance for profit on the work performed. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future government contracts and orders. Furthermore, on government contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, the government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, which would likely result in the termination of our subcontract.

Future Legislation

Because much of our business growth involves providing traffic enforcement solutions to governmental agencies and municipalities, the future passage of laws and regulations affecting red light camera and speed camera systems could have a material adverse impact on our business.  Camera-operated traffic enforcement solutions have recently been the subject of significant public criticism and legislators in various jurisdictions have introduced, or have indicated that they intend to introduce, legislation to better monitor and control traffic enforcement activities.  For example, legislation passed in Maryland in 2014 imposes a civil penalty on enforcement contractors if they issue erroneous citations on behalf of a municipality. It also prohibits contractors from receiving compensation based on the number of citations issued by the municipality or citations actually paid.  We cannot predict whether additional pieces of legislation will be enacted, or the impact they may have on our business.

Employees

As of March 24, 2016, we employed 38 full-time employees. We have never had a work stoppage, and none of our employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements.  We anticipate hiring additional employees to ensure timely delivery of customer projects and services, as necessary. Additionally, we intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, when appropriate. We believe that this use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to contain general and administrative expenses.

Dividends
 
We have never declared or paid dividends on our Common Stock. We intend to use retained earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Moreover, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that the Company’s board of directors may declare and pay a dividend on the common stock only out of surplus or, if we have no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid on our common stock even if our board desires to do so.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, our financial statements (and notes related thereto) and other more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. Consequently, you should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with such financial statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis are set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments affecting the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We may also engage third party specialists to assist us in formulating estimates when considered necessary. Estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements are, by their nature, uncertain and unpredictable and depend upon, among other things, many factors outside of our control, such as demand for our products and economic conditions. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may prove to be different from actual amounts that may only be determined upon the outcome of one or more confirming events and actual results may differ, perhaps significantly, from these estimates under different estimates, assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the critical accounting policies below are affected by estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

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.

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 recognizes ATSE 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.

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.
 
 
11

 

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and with the revenue services of various states. 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.

Revenues

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $19,833,681 as compared to revenues of $17,659,533 for the year December 31, 2014, representing an increase of $2,174,148 or 12.3%.  Each of our main service platforms provided significant contributions, with vehicle services increasing by 10.9% and ATSE services increasing by 21.9%.  Vehicle services growth was primarily driven by increased sales and installation of Panasonic rugged IT products and Arbitrator in-car video capture systems.  ATSE services growth was primarily driven by recurring revenue contributed from our Saltillo, Mexico program as well as slight increases from our U.S. clients who have transitioned to flat fee contract structures.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, ATSE paid citations amounted to 166,649 from 59 cameras as compared to 113,720 from 43 cameras for the year ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of 52,929 or 47%.

In April 2015, the Company began operations on its Saltillo, Mexico program which has resulted in recurring revenue from the City of Saltillo, Mexico under an exclusive agreement signed in 2014 with Grupo Canviso Tec (“Canviso”), a Mexican Corporation, for the purposes of supplying turnkey ATSE services to cities and municipalities in Mexico.  As of June 30, 2015, the Company had installed all necessary technology and communications infrastructure to operate the Saltillo program as well as other programs as they are added, with Saltillo being the main operations hub for the entire country.  As of December 31, 2015, there were 16 speed photo enforcement cameras in live operation.   Based upon timing of the rollout schedule thus far, the Company does not anticipate installing all 210 cameras as contemplated by the agreement with the City.  We are working closely with Canviso and the City to determine additional unit counts for 2016 installation along with an associated rollout schedule.  Also, as of December 31, 2015 the City had made limited progress in implementing enforcement operations in order to ensure higher citation collection rates.  The Company is working closely with Canviso and the City to implement sufficient enforcement measures, including vehicle checkpoints monitored by automated license plate readers and door-to-door collection of unpaid fines.  Despite a lower than anticipated collection rate, Saltillo was our 4th largest customer in terms of revenue for 2015, with a total of 39,207 collected citations from the 16 cameras.  This is due to significantly higher violation rates as compared to our U.S. contracts.  More importantly, with a view toward sustainability and longevity, the Saltillo program has been a model program for Mexico in terms of reducing accidents, injuries, and deaths caused by speeding.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $15,773,184 as compared to $14,527,646 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $1,245,538 or 8.6%.  The increase was primarily driven by higher direct labor and product costs for vehicle services in conjunction with the increased sales volume.  This was offset by lower direct labor and materials costs associated with ATSE services, as we experienced operational efficiencies in terms of less camera maintenance.
 
Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $4,060,497 as compared to $3,131,887 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $928,610 or 29.7%.  Two key drivers of the increase were a higher percentage of revenues from ATSE services as well as a higher gross margin from ATSE services as a result of the operational efficiencies noted above.  Overall gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 20.5% as compared to 17.7% for the year ended December 31, 2014.  ATSE gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 71.4% as compared to 55.2% for the year ended December 31, 2014.  Vehicle services gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 12.1% as compared to 12.1% for the year ended December 31, 2014. 

For the full year 2015, the Company exceeded the expected ATSE gross margin of 65% and met the expected vehicle services gross margin of 12%.  As contributed revenues from ATSE services continue to rise as a percentage of overall revenues, we anticipate continued growth in the Company’s overall gross margin.

Salaries and Related Expenses

Salaries and related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $2,038,644 as compared to $1,878,671 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $159,973 or 8.5%.  The increase was due to higher costs for corporate support labor, increased sales commissions, higher health insurance costs, and issuance of shares of restricted stock, offset by reductions in program support labor for ATSE services.  The Company will continue to invest in salary related infrastructure support in conjunction with our aggressive business development plan, especially with respect to ATSE services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $1,675,837 as compared to $2,585,302 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $909,465 or 35.2%.  The decrease was primarily driven by lower depreciation expense as certain obsolete assets had been disposed of during the same period of 2014 and the Company did not incur significant capital expenditures in 2015.

Total other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $717,187 as compared to $170,561 for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $546,646 or 320.5%.  The increased expenses were due primarily to a net increase in financing cost of $506,449 that includes non-cash interest expense related to the original issue discount of $29,820, debt discount amortization of $328,021 and the loss on extinguishment of debt of $55,021, offset by an increase in warrant liability of $14,784 related to the March 2015 issuance of a $650,000 convertible promissory note that matures in March 2017 (the “Investor Note”) and a related five-year common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrant”).  The remainder of the increase was due to an increase in cash interest expense associated with balances on the Company’s revolving line of credit.

Net Loss
 
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to $371,171 compared to a net loss of $1,502,647 for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $1,131,476 or 75.3%.  The improvement was primarily due to higher overall gross profit margins and lower overall operating expenses.  Excluding other expenses consisting of both cash and non-cash interest expense of $286,910 and debt discount amortization of $328,021 and the loss on extinguishment of debt of $55,021, offset by an increase in warrant liability of $14,784, income from operations amounted to $346,016 for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to a loss of $1,332,086 for the year ended December 31, 2014, for an improvement of $1,678,102.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2015, we had total current assets of approximately $5.39 million and total current liabilities of approximately $4.97 million resulting in a working capital surplus of approximately $0.42 million. At December 31, 2015 inventory totaled approximately $0.6 million consisting primarily of raw materials related to our existing pipeline of committed customer sales orders.  In comparison, at December 31, 2014, we had total current assets of approximately $3.85 million and total current liabilities of approximately $3.90 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $50,000.

The Company’s accumulated deficit increased to approximately $10.9 million at December 31, 2015 from $10.6 million at December 31, 2014, as a result of the net loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. Cash flows used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 were approximately $0.8 million, compared to cash flows used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 of approximately $0.3 million.

The Company relies on cash reserves, cash flows from operations and the Credit Facility (as defined below) to fund its operations.  At December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $0.6 million in unrestricted cash available, compared to approximately $1.1 million at December 31, 2014.  In addition, the Company has established a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal (“Rosenthal”) consisting of $2.5 million in revolving loans (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $0.5 million non-revolving term loan (the “Term Loan”).  The amount of funds available under the Revolving Facility from time to time is subject to certain limits based on, among other things, the Company’s receivables and inventory.  At December 31, 2015, the Company had $1.4 million in outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility and $166,667 in outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan. As of December 31, 2015, we were out of compliance with one of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility as a result of the net loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. We have reported this non-compliance to Rosenthal & Rosenthal and recevied the waiver.
 
As discussed in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this Annual 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 December 31, 2015.  On November 9, 2015, the maturity dates of these unsecured promissory notes were extended to the earlier of (i) November 9, 2016 or (ii) 10 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.

The Company intends to continue its efforts to expand sales of ATSE services, and such expansion may significantly increase the Company’s working capital needs. On March 17, 2015, the Company entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement providing for immediate funding of $650,000 through the issuance of the Investor Note (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional detail). The primary use of proceeds was to fund startup costs for the initial phase of a project in Mexico providing turnkey ATSE services to the City of Saltillo, which began operations in the second quarter of 2015. We have achieved positive cash flow generation from this project as of December 31, 2015.  Additionally, the Company entered contracts for two ATSE programs in Brice, Ohio and New Rochelle, New York, which are expected to begin revenue generation in the 2nd quarter of 2016.  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 the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to sustain the Company’s business initiatives through at least December 31, 2016. 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.

In the event that the Company’s cash reserves, cash flow from operations and funds available under the Credit Facility 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.  Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock or the debt securities may cause us to be subject to restrictive covenants. 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.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Cash was used primarily to fund our operations and working capital needs, net of non-cash expenditures such as depreciation and amortization, share based compensation for services and financing related costs. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the net loss of $0.4 million, the increase in accounts receivable of $2.1 million and unbilled receivable of $0.1 million offset by the increase of accounts payable of $1.1 million were the primary drivers of the cash used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the net loss of $1.5 million, adjusted for a non-cash disposal of equipment of $0.3 million, offset by a decrease in inventory of $0.6 million and an increase in accounts payable of $0.4 million were the primary drivers of the cash provided by operating activities.
 
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Capital expenditures during 2015 were related to cameras and technology infrastructure for commencing Mexico operations.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and net cash used in financing activities was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company received $0.65 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Investor Note in March 2015. Furthermore, the Company made aggregate principal payments of $0.4 million under capital leases and other note obligations. In the corresponding period of 2014, aggregate principal payments of $0.8 million under capital leases and other note obligations were offset by proceeds from a note payable of $0.5 million.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Brekford Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brekford Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brekford Corp. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BREKFORD CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
 
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.  Brekford has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Municipal Recovery Agency, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, that was formed in 2012 for the purpose of providing collection systems and services for unpaid citations and parking fines.

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 – LIQUIDITY

For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $371 thousand, and used approximately $816 thousand of cash for operations.  Additionally, at December 31, 2015 the company has cash available of approximately $580 thousand, a working capital surplus of approximately $423 thousand and availability under the established credit facility (see Note 5) of approximately $1.1 million.

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 including anticipated new customer contracts and funds available from the credit facility and the note will be sufficient to sustain the Company’s business initiatives through at least December 31, 2016, but there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful or adequate. In the event that the Company’s cash reserves, cash flow from operations and funds available under the Credit Facility (see Note 5) are not sufficient to fund the Company’s future operations, it may need to obtain additional capital.  
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brekford Corp. 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. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.

 
23

 

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 year ended December 31, 2015 and $10,111 for the year ended December 31, 2014.  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 years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $237,286 and $443,737, 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.

Shipping and Handling Costs

All amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are included in products revenues and all costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $58,120 and $57,843 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
 
24

 

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Advertising expense amounted to $8,000 and $30,412 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
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 December 31, 2015, 10,600 shares of our 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. Due to the Company’s continued losses 100% valuation allowance has been established on all deferred tax assets.

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and with the revenue services of various states. 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 per Share
 
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss 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 per share is calculated by dividing net loss 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 11 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.

We account for our derivative financial instruments, consisting solely of certain stock purchase warrants that contain non-standard anti-dilutions provisions and/or cash settlement features, and certain conversion options embedded in our convertible instruments, at fair value using Level 3 inputs, which are discussed in Note 14 to these condensed consolidated financial statements. We determine the fair value of these derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model when appropriate, and in certain circumstances using binomial lattice models or other accepted valuation practices.

When determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we are required to use various estimates and unobservable inputs, including, among other things, contractual terms of the instruments, expected volatility of our stock price, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in any of the assumptions related to the unobservable inputs identified above may change the fair value of the instrument. Increases in expected term, anticipated volatility and expected dividends generally result in increases in fair value, while decreases in the unobservable inputs generally result in decreases in fair value.
 
 
25

 
 
Foreign Currency Transactions
 
The Company has certain revenue and expense transactions with a functional currency in Mexican pesos and the Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated from the functional currency to the reporting currency at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and equity at the historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Resulting translation gains and losses are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity - other comprehensive income (loss). Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are credited or charged directly to operations.

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 issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (May 2014). The topic of Revenue Recognition had become broad with several other regulatory agencies issuing standards, which lacked cohesion. The new guidance established a “comprehensive framework” and “reduces the number of requirements to which an entity must consider in recognizing revenue” and yet provides improved disclosures to assist stakeholders reviewing financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it established the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide footnote disclosures. The ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definition that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 31, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of the Debt Issuance Cost.” To simplify the presentation of the debt issuance costs, the amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. By adopting this standard, we will reclassify certain of our assets and liabilities but have not calculated the amounts of those recalculations at this time.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU-2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)."  The guidance requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For finance leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income; and repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases: the right-of-use asset and a lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position; a single lease cost will be recognized, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis; and all cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows.   Under Topic 842 the accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments in Topic 842 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance of the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB"),  issued Accounting  Standards Update ("ASU")  2016-01,  "Financial  Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition  and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the classification  and measurement  of financial instruments.  Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments.  In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and are to be adopted by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In  November  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2015-17,  "Income  Taxes  (Topic  740):  Balance  Sheet  Classification   of  Deferred  Taxes,"  which  simplifies  the presentation  of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax liabilities  and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 16, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE

Line of Credit

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 term 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.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had $1.4 million in outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Facility and $166,667 in outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan, and the Company could have borrowed up to an additional $1.1 million under the Revolving Facility. As of December 31, 2015, we were out of compliance with one of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility as a result of the loss recorded for the year ended 2015. We reported this non-compliance to Rosenthal & Rosenthal and received the waiver.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – STOCKHOLDERS

Brekford financed the repurchase of shares of its common stock and warrants from the proceeds of convertible promissory notes that were issued by Brekford 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.

On November 9, 2015, the maturity dates of the Stockholder Notes were extended to the earlier of (i) November 9, 2016 or (ii) 10 business days from 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. Mr. Brechin and Mr. Rutherford have indicated that they will not exercise their right of repayment prior to December 31, 2016.

The Company anticipates the maturity date of the Stockholder Notes will continue to be extended for the foreseeable future; thus, they are classified as long term liabilities. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the amounts outstanding under the Stockholder Notes totaled $500,000.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE - INVESTOR

On March 17, 2015, the Company entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investor purchased an aggregate principal amount of $715,000 of a 6% convertible promissory note issued by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $650,000 (the “Investor Note”). The Investor Note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and the principal amount is due on March 17, 2017. Any interest that accrues under the Investor Note is payable either upon maturity or upon any principal being converted on any voluntary conversion date (as to that principal amount then being converted). The Investor Note is convertible at the option of the Investor at any time into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.25 per share and (ii) 70% of the average of the lowest three volume weighted average prices for the twelve (12) trading days prior to such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). In no event can the Conversion Price be less than $0.10; provided, however, that if on or after the date of the Agreement the Company sells any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Agreement) at an effective price per share that is less than $0.10 per share, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to the par value of the Common Stock then in effect. In connection with the Agreement, the Investor received a warrant to purchase 780,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Exercise Price”).

On October 23, 2015, the Investor converted $25,000 of principal and $904 of accrued interest due under the Investor Note into 169,530 shares of Common Stock and the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $19,869.

On December 2, 2015, the Investor converted $50,000 of principal and $2,129 of accrued interest due under the Investor Note into 349,155 shares of Common Stock and the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $35,160.
 
The following table provides information relating to the Investor Note at December 31, 2015, excluding the $75,000 of converted debt:

We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and determined that the conversion feature of the Investor Note was afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its fixed conversion rate. The Investor Note has an explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so it did meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The debt was issued with non-detachable conversion options that are beneficial to the investors at inception, because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The accounting for the beneficial conversion feature requires that the beneficial conversion feature be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid-in-capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible notes, which will be amortized and recognized as interest expense.

Accordingly, a portion of the proceeds was allocated to the Warrant based on its relative fair value, which totaled $92,079 using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $557,921 to the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Investor Note based upon the difference between the effective Conversion Price and the closing price of the Common Stock on the date on which the Investor Note was issued. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 80.5%, (iii) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.56%, (iv) expected life of five years, and (v) estimated fair value of the Common Stock of $0.26 per share. The expected term of the Warrant represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms. The Company recorded amortization of the beneficial conversion feature and warrant feature of the Investor Note in other expense in the amount of $255,960 and $42,243, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2015 which also includes the unamortized beneficial conversion feature and warrant feature  attributable to the $75,000 principal converted to equity.

The Company recorded an original issue discount of $65,000 to be amortized over the term of the Agreement as interest expense. The Company recognized $29,820 of interest expense as a result of the amortization during the year ended December 31, 2015 which also includes the unamortized original issue discount attributable to the $75,000 principal converted to equity.

NOTE 8 – WARRANT DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

On March 17, 2015, in conjunction with the issuance of the Investor Note (see Note 7), the Company issued the Warrant, which permits the Investor to purchase 840,000 shares of Common Stock, including 60,000 related to the financing costs, with an exercise price of $0.50 per share and a life of five years.

The Exercise Price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments that allow for its reduction in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities, including shares of Common Stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, for no consideration or for consideration less than $0.50 a share. The Company accounted for the conversion option of the Warrant in accordance with ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the conversion option is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and, as such, is recorded as a liability. The derivative liability associated with the Warrant has been measured at fair value at March 17, 2015 and December 31, 2015 using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 80.5% - 105.1%; (iii) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.56-1.76%; (iv) expected life of five years; and (v) estimated fair value of the Common Stock of $0.20-$0.26 per share.
 
At December 31, 2015, the outstanding fair value of the derivative liability was $99,036.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

The weighted average fair value of the shares amounted to $0.34 per share based upon the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the date of the grant.  These shares were fully vested on the date of the grant. The Company recorded $44,880 in share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock grants.
 
On October 23, 2015, the Company issued 169,530 shares valued at $0.27  per share to convert $25,000 of principal and $904 of accrued interest due under the Convertible Note Agreement Note and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $19,869.

The weighted average fair value of the shares amounted to $0.27 per share based upon the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the date of the grant.  These shares were fully vested on the date of the grant. The Company recorded $13,500 in share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock grants.
 
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
 
On September 7, 2010, Brekford Corp. issued a press release announcing that its board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program permitting the Company to repurchase up to $500,000 in outstanding shares of the Common Stock from time to time over a period of 12 months in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions at the Company's discretion.  The stock repurchase program was subsequently extended for an additional 12 months until September 7, 2012.  On September 28, 2012, the Company adopted a new stock repurchase program which permits the Company to repurchase the $363,280 in shares that remained available for repurchase under the old program, with the same terms and conditions except that the term of the new stock repurchase program was 24 months. The repurchase plan expired in September 2014.

NOTE 13 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has issued shares of restricted common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock and has granted non-qualified stock options to certain employees and non-employees. On April 25, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Incentive Plan”). During the year ended December 31, 2015, Brekford Corp. granted stock options under the 2008 Incentive Plan to its non-employee directors.  These options have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant and have terms of ten years.

Stock Options

Option grants during the year ended December 31, 2015 were made to non-employee directors who elected to receive options during the annual equity grant period in the first quarter of each fiscal year. The options had a grant date fair value of $0.13 per share and will vest and become exercisable with respect to option shares over a three year period commencing from the date of grant at a rate of 33.33% per year.

Option grants during the year ended December 31, 2014 were made to non-employee directors who elected to receive options during the annual equity grant period in the first quarter of each fiscal year. The options had a grant date fair value of $0.10 per share and will vest and become exercisable with respect to option shares over a three year period commencing from the date of grant at a rate of 33.33% per year.

The Company recorded $11,214 and $6,233 in stock option compensation expense during the period ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the stock option grants.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted to employees and recognizes the compensation cost of employee share-based awards in its statement of operations using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures.

The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards requires that the Company make certain assumptions and estimates for required inputs to the model, including (1) the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date, (ii) the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock value based on industry comparisons, (iii) the expected life of the share-based award, (iv) the risk-free interest rate, and (v) the dividend yield. 

The following are the assumptions made in computing the fair value of share-based awards granted in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

2008 Stock Incentive Plan
 
The 2008 Incentive Plan is designed to provide an additional incentive to executives, employees, directors and key consultants, aligning the long term interests of participants in the 2008 Incentive Plan with those of the Company and the Company’s stockholders. The 2008 Incentive Plan provides that up to 8 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2008 Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2015, 6,680,000 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2008 Incentive Plan.
 
2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
On February 19, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the adoption of the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), subsequently approved by the stockholders on April 25, 2008, which is designed to encourage and enable eligible employees to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company’s common stock. The Purchase Plan provides that up to 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued under the Plan.  No shares have been issued under the Plan.

NOTE 14 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan, which covers substantially all U.S.-based employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries who have completed three months of service. The 401(k) Plan provides that the Company will match 50% of the participant salary deferrals up to 3% of a participant’s compensation for all participants. The Company contributed $8,718 and $11,833 during the years ended December 31, 2015 and, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 15 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS

Major Customers

The Company has several contracts with government agencies, of which net revenue from one customer during the year ended December 31, 2015 represented 17% of the total net revenue for such year. Accounts receivable due from customers at December 31, 2015 amounted to 53% of total accounts receivable at that date.

The Company has several contracts with government agencies, of which net revenue from two customers during the year ended December 31, 2014 represented 10% of the total net revenue for such year. Accounts receivable due from customers at December 31, 2014 amounted to 53% of total accounts receivable at that date.

Major Vendors

The Company purchased substantially all rugged IT products that it resold during the periods presented from a single distributor. Revenues from rugged IT products amounted to 59% and 53% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, accounts payable due to this distributor amounted to 72% and 53% of total accounts payable, respectively.
 
NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has approximately $6.64 million of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2033. These net operating losses begin to expire in 2028. If, however, there is an ownership change in the Company, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code may restrict the Company’s ability to utilize these loss carryforwards to a percentage of the market value of the Company at the time of the ownership change. Therefore, these operating loss carryforwards could become limited in future years if ownership changes were to occur as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and similar state income tax provisions. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and with the revenue services of various states.

Management has evaluated the recoverability of the deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that their benefits will not be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s deferred income tax assets satisfies the realization standard, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 Exchange Act with the SEC, such as this Annual 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 executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer (“CEO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015 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.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

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.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management has performed an evaluation and testing of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.  Management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included on the following page.  The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and, accordingly, its independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the foregoing management report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Board of Directors
Brekford Corp.

Management of Brekford Corp. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  This internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors as to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation and presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

An internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements in the financial statements or the unauthorized use or disposition of the Company’s assets.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal controls to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

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.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based on this assessment and on the foregoing criteria, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weakness described below.

Management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, a material weakness exists because the Company does not currently 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.  The Company intends to address 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.
