Sales to domestic customers are generally made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency) through commissioned third-party sales agents. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
|
|
·
|
Sales to international customers are generally made through independent distributors who purchase the product from
the Company
at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies) at a retail price. The international distributor retains the margin as their compensation. The international distributor maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the international distributor.

•
|
Expected term is determined using the contractual term and vesting period of the award;
|
|
|
•
|
Expected volatility of award grants made in the Company’s plan is measured using the weighted average of historical daily changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock over the period equal to the expected term of the award;
|
|
|
•
|
Expected dividend rate is determined based on expected dividends to be declared;
|
|
|
•
|
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and
|
|
|
•
|
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted and management’s analysis of potential forfeitures.

We experienced a decrease in revenues during the first quarter 2010 due in part to the challenging economy, which has negatively impacted state, county and municipal budgets. We expect that the current economic downturn will continue to depress certain state and local tax bases, and continue to make 2010 a challenging business environment. Our revenues in the first quarter 2010 improved over first quarter 2009 and we expect that our sales for 2010 will continue to improve over 2009 if these conditions begin to abate. We had record revenues for the fourth quarter 2009 principally due to the $3.3 million international order shipped during the fourth quarter 2009.
|

|
We believe that delays in the introduction of our DVM-750 resulted in significant lost revenues in 2009 and contributed to our decreased revenues and operating losses in 2009, along with the impact of the current economic recession. We were not able to compete for several large contracts that required the specifications of the DVM-750.
|
|
·
|
Our gross profit on sales has eroded slightly in the first quarter 2010 (54.5%) and the fourth quarter 2009 (51.1%) in relation to prior quarters and our expectations. The gross margin erosion is primarily the result of the introduction of the new products, in particular the DVM-750. We have incurred higher levels of production inefficiencies and rework that have negatively affected our gross margin. In addition, we have discontinued the production of the DVM-500 legacy system which was a mature product with higher margins on a comparative basis. We expect the pressure on gross margins to continue in 2010 as we launch new products. However, our management team is evaluating our supply chain to identify and obtain cost decreases for our raw materials and component parts. We hope to improve our gross margins throughout the balance of 2010 as a result of these efforts.

We believe that current and potential customers may be delaying orders due to a number of factors, including budget reductions and anticipation of receiving the federal government’s stimulus funds in order to preserve their currently available funding and budgets. In light of the historically high levels of federal funding, estimated at over $4 billion, allocated to law enforcement under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, and other programs
,
we expect that law enforcement agencies will have access to federal funding which has not been available to them in the past. We believe that such funding could have a positive impact on our revenues in the future, but cannot predict the amount of the funds that will be used for products such as ours or the timing of the release of such funds.

Our international revenues decreased substantially during the first quarter 2010 and the first three quarters of 2009. During October 2009, we received an order from Turkey for DVM-750 units valued in excess of $3.3 million. This order represented our largest single international or domestic order for 2009 and was shipped during the fourth quarter 2009. Sales to certain countries that were strong revenue sources for us historically have been negatively impacted by political and social unrest, economic recession and a weakening of their currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar. We have focused on our international business by hiring an international sales manager in January 2009, hiring a European-based sales manager in November 2009 and by appointing international distributers in new countries during 2009 and 2010. We expect that international sales will improve during 2010, based on an easing of economic, political and social conditions affecting certain of our key international customers and as initial sales to new countries occur, although we can make no assurances in this regard. In addition, we believe that the availability of the DVM-750 will help to improve our international revenues. During April 2010, we received an order from a South American country for approximately 700 DVM-750 units. This order represented our largest single international or domestic order for 2010 and is expected to be shipped during the second and third quarters of 2010. We are encouraged by this order because it illustrates the potential popularity of our new DVM-750 product. We have built in capability to install a variety of language packs into our DVM-750 system, which currently include English, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic, with additional languages to become available during the balance of 2010. We believe this language flexibility will result in improved international sales for the balance of 2010 and beyond.

Our recent operating losses and increases in inventory levels led to deterioration in our cash levels and liquidity in 2010 and 2009. We have an unused $2.5 million revolving line-of-credit which would provide us short-term liquidity should the need arise, provided that we continue to satisfy the facility’s covenants, one of which is maintaining a $15.0 million minimum tangible net worth. Currently, we have no long or short-term debt outstanding and have approximately $14.8 million in working capital. Management is focusing on reducing inventory and accounts receivable levels to generate additional liquidity and improve our cash position. We believe that our liquidity trends will continue to improve during the balance of 2010 if our revenues and profitability increase and that our current credit facility will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the reasonably foreseeable future.

Sales to domestic customers are generally made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency) through commissioned third-party sales agents. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
|
|
·
|
Sales to international customers are generally made through independent distributors who purchase the product from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies) at a retail price. The international distributor retains the margin as their compensation. The international distributor maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the international distributor. Occasionally, we contract directly with the foreign customer for the sale of product and pay commissions to the distributor responsible for the sale.

|
We experienced an increase in revenues primarily due to the availability of the DVM-750 during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The DVM-750 was launched during the second quarter 2009; therefore it was unavailable for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Furthermore, the launch of the DVM750 was delayed significantly and we believe many customers delayed their in-car video system purchases in anticipation of the DVM-750 becoming available for purchase which depressed revenues in the first quarter of 2009.

Our average order size decreased from approximately $6,000 in the 2009 period to $5,800 during 2010. We shipped five individual orders in excess of $100,000 each, for an aggregate of approximately $724,000 in revenue during the first quarter 2010, compared to two orders in excess of $100,000 each, for an aggregate of approximately $325,000 in revenue in the first quarter 2009. We believe that this is indicative of reduced law enforcement budgets where the customers are covering only the minimum required needs rather than full fleet deployments. However, during the first quarter 2010, we shipped approximately 1,090 individual orders which is a quarterly record for us. We are

Our international revenues decreased to $73,790, representing 1% of total revenues during the first quarter 2010, compared to $150,478, representing 3% of total revenues during fiscal 2009. Sales to certain countries that were strong revenue sources for us on an historical basis were negatively impacted by political and social unrest, economic recession and a weakening of their currency exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar. We have focused on improving our international business by hiring an international sales manager in January 2009, hiring a salesperson to cover Europe and the Middle-East territories and appointing international distribution agents in 11 new countries since January 1, 2009, which brings our total to 36 agents representing our products in various countries throughout the world. We experienced an increase in inquiries and bid activity from international customers in the fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010. However, international sale cycles generally take longer than domestic business. During October 2009, we were awarded a $3.3 million plus contract for our DVM-750 product from a customer in Turkey that shipped in the fourth quarter2009. In April 2010, the Company announced that a sales agent in South America recently received a contract for 700 DVM-750 systems from the highway patrol division of a South American country. The name of the country was not disclosed. The Company expects to ship between 100 and 200 systems per month over the next four to six months in accordance with the installation and training schedule of the highway patrol in such country. The Company also announced that one of its sales agents in the Middle East has received an initial order for DVM-500 Plus
systems from the Ministry of Interior of a Middle Eastern country for a pilot project involving that country’s highway patrol department. We are hopeful that these recent awards of international contracts are indicative of an improvement in the purchasing pattern for international customers, although we can make no assurances in this regard.
