Going Concern and Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future and, thus, do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. However, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The Company has incurred operating losses due to depressed revenue levels and ongoing strategic investments. Since 2012, the Company has made a significant investment in the development of a completely new, and strategically critical, video management system (VMS). The initial release of this product offering was launched in January 2017, and was followed up by important system enhancements released in July 2017 and March 2018. The funding of this major development effort has contributed to the ongoing operating losses and depletion of cash reserves. Cash losses over the past several years have been financed by credit facility borrowings, the sale of the Company’s two principal operating facilities, ongoing management of working capital levels and, more recently, the Company's rights offering and related backstop funding discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company launched a series of restructuring initiatives, which management expects will substantially reduce operating expenses and help improve operating efficiencies. The full impact of these initiatives are not expected to be reflected in the Company's financial statements until the onset of the quarter ending December 31, 2018.

At June 30, 2018, the Company had $2.4 million of cash reserves and was in violation of a financial covenant under the Second Amended Agreement as described above. On July 27, 2018, the Company entered into the Amendment which, among other things, provides a waiver of its default with respect to this financial covenant, and prohibits further borrowings until September 2, 2018. The Company is presently in negotiations with its lender to formalize a longer term remedy to this violation. However, there are no assurances that these negotiations will be successful. The Company currently expects to draw on its cash reserves to finance its near term working capital needs while it implements its operating cost restructuring initiatives.

Notwithstanding ongoing restructuring plans, the Company will likely require additional financing over the next twelve months to implement its planned business objectives and strategies. Accordingly, and in light of the Company's historic and continuing losses, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
