PART I
 
ITEM 1.    
Business.
 
Digital Ally produces digital video imaging and storage products for use in law enforcement and security applications.  Our current products are a low cost, easy-to-install, in-car digital video rear view mirror and a digital video flashlight.   These products make self-contained video and audio recordings onto flash memory cards that are incorporated in the body of the digital video rear view mirror and the flashlight.  We sell our products to law enforcement agencies and other security organizations and for consumer and commercial applications through direct sales and third-party distributors.  We currently have several new and derivative products in research and development that are anticipated to go into commercial production during 2009, including products designed for motorcycle, boat, ATV, taxi cab, fleet vehicle and school bus applications.
 
We intend to also produce other digital video devices in the future.  We believe that the same high-performance digital video recording may be incorporated into a wide array of other products; therefore, we plan to offer our technology on an original equipment manufacturing basis to those non-competing manufacturers who may have existing products and distribution capabilities.
 
Corporate History
 
We were incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 as Vegas Petra, Inc.  From that date until November 30, 2004, when we entered into a Plan of Merger with Digital Ally, Inc., a Nevada corporation which was formerly known as Trophy Tech Corporation (the “Acquired Company”), we had not conducted any operations and were a closely-held company.  In the merger, the stockholders of the Acquired Company received one of our shares of common stock for each three shares of the Acquired Company they owned, resulting in the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to stockholders of the Acquired Company.  Our original stockholders retained 1,500,000 shares of our common stock after they transferred 1,000,000 of their shares to a former officer, director and principal stockholder of the Acquired Company, in connection with, but not as a part of, the merger.  We were renamed Digital Ally, Inc. after the merger.
 
- 3 -

The Acquired Company, which was incorporated on May 16, 2003, engaged in the design, development, marketing and sale of bow hunting-related products.  Its principal product was a digital video recording system for use in the bow hunting industry.  It changed its business plan in 2004 to adapt its digital video recording system for use in the law enforcement and security markets.   We began shipments of our in-car digital video rear view mirror in March 2006 and have enjoyed significant growth in sales since commencement of shipments.  We are also shipping units of our digital video flashlights; however, our digital mirror product has been our predominant source of revenues to date.
 
On May 3, 2007, our registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which registered 6,733,750 shares of our common stock for resale. On January 2, 2008, we commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “DGLY.”  We conduct our business from 7311 West 130th Street, Suite 170, Overland Park, Kansas 66213.  Our telephone number is (913) 814-7774.
 
Products
 
We currently produce and sell two products:  an in-car digital video rear view mirror and a digital video flashlight that is used primarily in law enforcement applications, both of which use the core competency of our technology in digital video compression, recording and storage.  We are also developing derivative products using our digital video compression, recording and storage knowledge that can be used in motorcycle, boat, ATV, school bus, taxi cab, and fleet vehicle applications.  We intend to launch these derivative products in 2009 and 2010.   We also intend to produce and sell other digital video devices in the future.  All of these products incorporate our standards-based digital compression capability that allows the recording of significant time periods on a chip and circuit board that can be designed into small form factors.  In addition to selling our products directly to our customers, we may in the future sell assemblies or complete units containing our technology incorporating digital video and sound recording for use in non-competing products to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers.
 
In-Car Digital Video System
 
In-car video systems for patrol cars are now a necessity and have generally become standard.  Current systems are digital and VHS-based with cameras mounted in the windshield and the recording device generally in the trunk.  Most manufacturers have already developed or are at least have begun transitioning to digital video, but many have had problems obtaining the appropriate technology.
 
Our digital video rear view mirror unit is a self-contained video recorder, microphone and digital storage that is integrated into a rear-view mirror, with a monitor, GPS and 900 MHz audio transceiver.
 
Our in-car digital video rear view mirror has the following features:
 
·  
wide angle zoom color camera;
 
·  
standards-based video and audio compression and recording;
 
·  
system is concealed in the rear view mirror, replacing factory rear view mirror;
 
·  
monitor in rear-view mirror is invisible when not activated;
 
·  
eliminates need for analog tapes to store and catalogue;
 
·  
easily installs in any vehicle;
 
·  
archive to computers, servers, DVDs, CD-ROMs, or file servers;
 
·  
900 MHz audio transceiver with automatic activation;
 
·  
marks exact location of incident with integrated GPS;
 
·  
playback using Windows Media Player;
 
·  
proprietary software protects the chain of custody; and
 
·  
records to rugged and durable solid state memory.

We believe there are several other markets and industries which may find our in-car digital video rear view mirror unit useful, such as the school bus, mass transit and delivery service industries among others.  We intend to address this market with the DVM-250 Pro Event Recorder in 2009.  These potential markets could find our units attractive from a feature and cost perspective compared to other providers.
 
Digital Video Flashlight
 
The digital video flashlight is a high-quality police-type flashlight with a built-in digital video and audio recording system.  All recorded data is stored in an on-board flash memory for later download to a computer.  From the computer, the images and sound can be stored, reviewed or burned to a DVD or CD.  Storage can take place at the police station or transmitted through the internet to a service provider or central storage and recording facility.  Each frame of the video can be date and time stamped to provide evidence that protects the officer and the individual involved.
 
The unit is a high-quality, water-resistant, machined aluminum body, law enforcement-style flashlight that integrates a complete digital video and audio recording system.  The system is so compact that the size, shape and weight of the digital video flashlight are virtually the same as a traditional flashlight.  This allows the continued use of the flashlight as a standard tactical flashlight or as a defense baton if necessary.  As a self contained unit, the digital video flashlight does not rely on transmitters, cables, external batteries or a separate recorder.  The digital video flashlight provides room for the digital video system by replacing regular flashlight bulbs with new ultra-bright light-emitting diode (“LED”) technology, as opposed to fragile conventional lamps.  The small physical size and mechanical ruggedness of the LED makes it ideal for use in professional flashlights.
 
We believe that the brightness and light quality of the LED is superior to incandescent bulbs.  Our digital video recording system is extremely easy to use and requires only one button to start and stop recording.  There are no complicated controls or distracting displays to interfere with a police officer’s normal activities or compromise his or her safety.  All internal settings are controlled through an on-board USB interface or by plugging into an external video monitor.  The digital video flashlight includes proprietary software for downloading and managing video.
 
In addition to law enforcement, the digital video flashlight has potential applications in lighter-duty activities that require a less rugged flashlight as compared to law enforcement applications.  Such lighter-duty applications include private security, the insurance industry, homeland security and underground inspections of telephone, cable, water and sewer lines.  Home inspectors can use the digital video flashlight to record and explain property defects or features.  Private security firms can use the digital video flashlight to record rounds and provide evidence of inspection and presence, replacing the current system of time clocks and punch cards.  Other potential users are the military, fire departments, coast guard, border patrol and customs inspectors.
 
Our digital video flashlight product has the following features:
 
·  
virtually the same size and shape as a traditional flashlight;
 
·  
easy to use, requiring one button to start and stop recording;
 
·  
on-board flash memory card;
 
·  
extra-wide field of view for digital video and audio recording;
 
·  
each frame of video can be date and time stamped;
 
·  
LED flashlight bulb is an improvement over conventional bulbs; and
 
·  
proprietary chain of custody software to protect delivery of data back to the police station.

Other Products
 
During the last year, we have increased our research and development efforts to meet the varying needs of our customers, enhance our existing products and commence development of new products and product categories.  Our research and development efforts are intended to maintain and enhance our competitiveness in the market niche we have carved out, as well as positioning us to compete in diverse markets outside of law enforcement.
 
Original Equipment Manufacturers
 
Built-in digital video recording is growing in multiple uses.  For example, Taser International, Inc. has demonstrated the use of digital video recording for its hand held stun gun.  Applications exist in many sports products, such as baseball and tennis speed measuring instruments.  Medical practitioners are recording procedures for liability and teaching purposes, many with recording capabilities built into their devices.  Medical laboratories are recording digital photographs and video of slides and samples to provide proof of results and to transmit to other researchers.
 
Rather than encouraging the creation of technology that could prospectively compete with us, we may sell our board-level components or complete units for inclusion in non-competing products marketed under other brand names.  By making it easy for other companies to obtain digital video technology, we can provide a bridge between the large semiconductor companies and smaller businesses with distinct and effective marketing skills.
 
We expect that our role in original equipment manufacturing operations will be to utilize our design and production expertise to provide subsystems that can be incorporated into the customer’s product.  Once a design is accepted, fabrication can be done by one of our subcontractors.  Our original equipment manufacturing operations are not expected to be a significant part of our revenue and profitability in our early stages.
 
Currently, we have no agreements with original equipment manufacturing customers for incorporating our technology into their products.  In such a relationship, we might supply product labeled with the customer’s brand or license others to use our technology.  This may be a potentially lucrative market for us in the future.  To date, we have concentrated our time and resources in the development of our own technology and brand.  Our intention in the near term is to pursue those opportunities that provide synergies with our existing products and make minimal demands on our staff.  In the future, as resources become available and as we identify appropriate market niches, we may decide to devote a portion of our efforts to the active acquisition and servicing of original equipment manufacturing accounts.
 
Market and Industry Overview
 
A new adaptation of technology usually determines its own market size.  The number of potential uses of the digital video flashlight and other products make it difficult to quantify.  We intend to pursue initial markets in the law enforcement community, private security companies, homeland security market, general consumer and commercial markets and the original equipment manufacturing market.
 
Law Enforcement
 
We believe that one of the most valuable uses of our digital video flashlight may be in the recording of roadside DWI sobriety tests.  According to the Department of Justice, in 2003 there were almost 14 million arrests, with approximately 10%, or 1.4 million of those arrests for DWI (Source:  FBI Crime Reports, Crime in the United States, annually.)  Without some form of video or audio recording, court proceedings usually consist of the police officer’s word against the suspect’s.  Records show that where there is video evidence to back up officer testimony, conviction rates increase substantially.  Video evidence also helps to protect police departments against frivolous lawsuits.
 
The largest source of police video evidence today is in-car video.  Unfortunately, some police cars still do not have in-car video, and in those that do, the camera usually points forward rather than to the side of the road where the sobriety test takes place.  The in-car video is typically of little use for domestic violence investigations, burglary or theft investigations, disorderly conduct calls or physical assaults.  In all of these cases, the digital video flashlight may provide recorded evidence of the suspect’s actions and reactions to police intervention.
 
- 6 -

Additionally, motorcycle patrolmen rarely have video systems.  The digital video flashlight can become an essential tool for the motorcycle policeman to provide the evidence that previously had not been available.  We are also developing a mobile application of our digital video recording system that can be used specifically by motorcycle police and water patrol.
 
Crime scene investigations, including detailed photography, take up a large part of the budgets of metropolitan police forces.  The digital video flashlight may record a significant portion of such evidence at a much lower cost, for gathering, analyzing and storing data/evidence.
 
There are approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States.  (Source: U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, 2000.)  Smaller departments with 20 or fewer officers account for the majority of sworn officers.  (Source: National Institute of Justice, Law Enforcement Technology – Are Small and Rural Agencies Equipped and Trained?, June 2004.)
 
Private Security Companies
 
There are approximately 10,000 private security agencies in the United States who employ over two million guards.  (Source: International Association of Chiefs of Police, President’s Message: Building Partnerships between Private-Sector Security and Public-Sector Police, 2004.)  In 1997, Americans were spending over $90 billion a year on private security services.  (Source: National Center for Policy Analysis, citing “Welcome to the New World of Private Security,” Economist, April 17, 1997.)  Police forces use video systems for proof of correct conduct by officers, but private security services usually have no such tool.
 
The digital video flashlight presents an excellent management tool for these companies to monitor conduct and timing of security rounds.  In addition to the digital video flashlight, the digital video security camera can provide fill-in security when guards have large areas to cover or in areas that do not have to be monitored around the clock.
 
Homeland Security Market
 
In addition to government spending, American corporations are spending heavily for protection against the potential of terrorist attacks.  In 2004, the New York Times reported on the “Homeland Security-Industrial Complex.”  That report indicated that private-sector outlays for antiterrorism measures and to guard against other forms of violence may be as much as $40 billion to $50 billion per year, or two to three times higher than the annual rate prior to September 11, 2001.  (Source: Louis Uchitelle, The Rise of the Homeland Security-Industrial Complex, NEW YORK TIMES, October 17, 2004.)  As of 2004, the federal government’s expenditure for security has also passed $40 billion per year, double what it was before 9/11.  (Source: Congressional Budget Office, Federal Funding for Homeland Security, April 30, 2004.)  Estimates for the fiscal year of 2005 are for the federal government to spend $47 billion and state and local governments to spend an additional $7 billion for antiterrorism security.  (Source: Congressional Budget Office, Federal Funding for Homeland Security, April 30, 2004.)
 
Commercial and Other Markets
 
There are numerous potential applications for the digital video flashlight and digital video security camera products.  We believe that other markets for our digital video systems, including the derivatives currently being developed, include private investigators, SWAT team members, taxi cabs, over-the-road trucking fleets, the U.S. Coast Guard, municipal fire departments, and the U.S. military.  Other commercial markets for our digital video systems include real estate appraisers, plumbers and electricians.
 
- 7 -

Manufacturing
 
We have entered into contracts with manufacturers for the assembly of the circuit boards used in our products.  Dedicated circuit board manufacturers are well-suited to the assembly of circuit boards with the complexity found in our products.  Dedicated board manufacturers can spread the extensive capital equipment costs of circuit board assembly among multiple projects and customers.  Such manufacturers also have the volume to enable the frequent upgrade to state-of-the-art equipment.  We have identified multiple suppliers who meet our quality, cost, and performance criteria.  We intend to use more than one source for circuit board assembly to ensure a reliable supply over time.  We will continue to perform final assembly and testing in-house.  Due to the complexity of our products, we believe that it is important to maintain a core of knowledgeable production personnel for consistent quality and to limit the dissemination of sensitive intellectual property.
 
License Arrangements
 
We have entered into several software license agreements with Ingenient Technologies, Inc. (“Ingenient”), Nuvation Research Corporation (“Nuvation”) and Z-3 Technology, LLC (“Z-3”) regarding the license of certain software products to be used in our video products.  The licensors have written certain software for specific Texas Instrument chips which are included in our products.  The licenses generally require upfront payments and contain automatic renewal provisions unless either party notifies the other of its intent to not renew prior to expiration or unless the agreement is terminated due to a material breach by the other party.   Following is a summary of license agreements to which we are a party as of December 31, 2008:

- 8 -

Competition
 
The law enforcement and security surveillance markets are extremely competitive.  Competitive factors in these industries include ease of use, quality, portability, versatility, reliability, accuracy and cost.  Our primary competitors include companies with substantially greater financial, technological, marketing, personnel and research and development resources than we currently have.  There are direct competitors with competitive technology and products in the law enforcement and surveillance markets for all of our products and those we have in development.  We will also compete with any company making surveillance devices for residential and commercial use.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in this market.  Further, there can be no assurance that new and existing companies will not enter the digital video and security surveillance markets in the future.  See “Risk Factors - Competition.”
 
Intellectual Property
 
Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting our proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad.  We have filed for patent protection in the United States and certain other countries to cover certain design aspects of our products.  However, we license the critical technology on which our products are based from third parties:  Ingenient Technologies, Inc., Nuvation Research Corporation and Z-3 Technology, LLC.
 
These patent applications are under review by the U.S. Patent Office and therefore we have not been issued any patents in the United States.  No assurance can be given that any patents relating to our existing technology will be issued from the United States or any foreign patent offices, that we will receive any patents in the future based on our continued development of our technology, or that our patent protection within and/or outside of the United States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or otherwise, from developing or marketing competitive products utilizing our technologies.
 
In addition to seeking patent protection, we will rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to seek to achieve and thereafter maintain a competitive advantage.  Although we have entered into or intend to enter into confidentiality and invention agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors, no assurance can be given that such agreements will be honored or that we will be able to effectively protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and know-how.  Moreover, no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.
 
Employees
 
We had 117 full-time employees as of December 31, 2008.  Our employees are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement and we have never experienced a work stoppage.  We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
 
ITEM 1A.Risk Factors.
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business and us.  The factors listed below represent certain important factors that we believe could cause our business results to differ.  These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific risks that may affect us.  It should be recognized that other risks may be significant, presently or in the future, and the risks set forth below may affect us to a greater extent than indicated.  If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  You should also consider the other information included in this Annual Report and subsequent quarterly reports filed with the SEC.
 
- 9 -

Risk Factors
 
We have a short operating history.
 
From May 2003 through March 2006, we were a development stage company.  In March 2006, we started selling our products and became an operating company.  We have retained earnings of $344,516 as of December 31, 2008, which includes our net income of $3,353,630 for 2008 and $4,523,334 for 2007, as noted in our audited financial statements.  We have a limited operating history upon which investors may rely to evaluate our prospects; however, we reported substantial net income in both 2008 and 2007.  Our future prospects must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, delays and complications associated with a relatively new business and products, including research and development expenditures, production development costs, establishing and maintaining a supply chain for material and component parts for new products, and hiring, training and retaining a labor force, including marketing, sales, distribution and management personnel.  At December 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $14 million.  Losses prior to 2007 resulted principally from costs incurred in the research and development of our technology and products, salaries and general and administrative costs when revenues were not being produced.
 
If we are unable to manage our rapid expansion in business, our prospects may be limited and our future profitability may be adversely affected.
 
We have experienced rapid expansion during 2008 resulting from the success of our marketing activities and the overall acceptance of our products by the market.  We expanded our production capabilities and capacity significantly and more than doubled our workforce during 2008, which has strained our managerial, financial and other resources.  We will need to continually improve our operations, financial and other internal systems to manage our growth effectively, and any failure to do so may lead to inefficiencies and redundancies which may result in reduced growth prospects and profitability.
 
There are risks related to dealing with governmental entities as customers.
 
One of the principal target markets for our products is the law enforcement community.  In this market, the sale of products will be subject to budget constraints of governmental agencies purchasing these products, which could result in a significant reduction in our anticipated revenues.  These agencies also may experience political pressure that dictates the manner in which they spend money.  As a result, even if an agency wants to acquire our products, it may be unable to purchase them due to budgetary or political constraints.  We cannot assure investors that such governmental agencies will have the necessary funds to purchase our products even though they may want to do so.  Further, even if such agencies have the necessary funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their internal decision making policies and procedures.
 
The current economic and real estate market downturns will likely depress state and local tax revenues from sales, use, income and property tax sources. The reduction in such revenues will likely reduce funding to law enforcement agencies that represent our primary customers.
 
The overall economy is currently in a recession, which will likely result in lower tax collections by state and local taxing authorities.  Police agencies rely on funding from state and local tax sources to purchase our products.  Therefore, the recession will generally decrease our primary customers’ ability to purchase our systems unless they can find other sources of funding to cover the shortfall.  The recently enacted Economic Stimulus Act of 2009 may provide a source of alternative funding; however, the amount and timing of such alternative funding is uncertain at this time.  Demand for our product may be substantially reduced unless this source of alternative funding does cover shortfalls created by the current recession’s impact on state and local tax revenues.  We cannot assure investors that such governmental agencies will have the necessary funds to purchase our products even though they may want to do so.

We are operating in a developing market and there is uncertainty as to market acceptance of our technology and products.
 
The markets for our products and technology are developing and rapidly evolving and are characterized by an increasing number of market entrants who have developed or are developing a wide variety of products and technologies, a number of which offer certain of the features that our products offer.  Because of these factors, demand and market acceptance for new products are subject to a high level of uncertainty.  There can be no assurance that our technology and products will become widely accepted.  It is also difficult to predict with any assurance the future growth rate, if any, and size of the market.  If a substantial market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors or if our products do not achieve or continue to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our technology is also intended to be marketed and licensed to device manufacturers for inclusion in the products and equipment they market and sell as an embedded solution.  As with other new products and technologies designed to enhance or replace existing products or technologies or change product designs, these potential partners may be reluctant to integrate our digital video recording technology into their systems unless the technology and products are proven to be both reliable and available at a competitive price.  Even assuming product acceptance, our potential partners may be required to redesign their systems to effectively use our digital video recording technology.  The time and costs necessary for such redesign could delay or prevent market acceptance of our technology and products.  A lack of, or delay in, market acceptance of our digital video recording technology and products would adversely affect our operations.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to market our technology and products successfully or that any of our technology or products will be accepted in the marketplace.
 
We expend significant resources in anticipation of a sale due to our lengthy sales cycle and may receive no revenue in return.
 
Generally, law enforcement and other agencies that may consider using our products must analyze a wide range of issues before committing to purchase products like ours, including training costs, product reliability and budgetary constraints.  The length of our sales cycle may range from sixty days to a year or more.  We may incur substantial selling costs and expend significant effort in connection with the evaluation of our products by potential customers before they place an order.  Initial orders by agencies typically are for a small number of units that are used to evaluate the products.  If these potential customers do not purchase our products, we will have expended significant resources and receive no revenue in return.
 
Our market is characterized by new products and rapid technological change.
 
The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology and frequent new product introductions.  Our future success will depend in part on our ability to enhance our existing technologies and products and to introduce new products and technologies to meet changing customer requirements.  We are currently devoting, and intend to continue to devote, significant resources toward the development of new digital video recording technology and products both as stand-alone products and embedded solutions in third party products and systems.  There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete the development of these technologies and related products in a timely fashion or that our current or future products will satisfy the needs of the digital video recording market.  There can also be no assurance that digital video recording products and technologies developed by others will not adversely affect our competitive position or render our products or technologies non-competitive or obsolete.
 
We substantially depend on sales from our DVM-500 product and if this product becomes obsolete or not widely accepted, our growth prospects will be diminished.
 
In the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we derived our revenues predominantly from sales of our DVM-500 digital video rear view mirror and accessories and expect to depend on sales of this product during 2009, although we intend to introduce new products during 2009 that we anticipate will lead to diversifying our revenue sources.  A decrease in the prices of, or the demand for, this product, or the failure to achieve broad market acceptance of our new product offerings, would significantly harm our growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.
 
- 11 -

We substantially depend on our research and development activities to design new products and upgrades to existing products and if these products are not widely accepted, or we encounter difficulties and delays in launching these new products, our growth prospects will be diminished.
 
We have a number of active research and development projects underway at the current time that are intended to launch new products or upgrades to existing products.  We may incur substantial costs and/or delays in completion of these activities that may not result in viable products or may not be received well by our potential customers.  We have incurred $3,127,143 and $1,518,914 in research and development expenses during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which represents a substantial expense as compared to our total revenues and net income.  If we are unsuccessful in bringing these products from the engineering prototype phase to commercial production, we could incur additional expenses (in addition to those already spent) without receiving revenues from the new products.  Also, these new products may fail to achieve broad market acceptance and may not generate revenue to cover expenses incurred to design, develop, produce and market the new product offerings.  Should these conditions occur the effect would significantly harm our growth prospects, operating results and financial condition.
 
If we are unable to compete in our market, you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Our market is highly competitive and highly fragmented.  The law enforcement and security surveillance markets are extremely competitive.  Competitive factors in these industries include ease of use, quality, portability, versatility, reliability, accuracy, cost and other factors.  Our primary competitors include:  L-3 Mobile-Vision, Inc., Watchguard, Kustom Signals, International Police Technologies, Inc. and a number of other competitors who sell or may in the future sell in-car video systems to law enforcement agencies.  There are direct competitors who have competitive technology and products for all of our products.  Many of these competitors have significant advantages over us, including greater financial, technical, marketing and manufacturing resources, more extensive distribution channels, larger customer bases and faster response times to adapt new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.  As a result, our competitors may develop superior products or beat us to market with products similar to ours.  Further, there can be no assurance that new companies will not enter our markets in the future.  Although we believe that our products will be distinguishable from those of our competitors on the basis of their technological features and functionality at an attractive value proposition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to penetrate any of our anticipated competitors’ portions of the market.  Many of our anticipated competitors may have existing relationships with equipment or device manufacturers which may impede our ability to market our technology to those potential customers and build market share.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.  If we are not successful in competing against our current and future competitors, you could lose your entire investment.  See “Description of Business - Competition.”
 
Digital video has yet to be widely accepted as admissible scientific evidence in court.
 
Videos from analog mobile-in-car video systems have long been accepted by the courts as reliable scientific evidence.  However, because of their relatively recent introduction, digital video systems, in general, and our products, specifically, have not undergone the rigorous scientific testing that courts may demand before recognizing their reliability.  If video files from digital in-car video units are not admissible in a court of law, law enforcement agencies are not likely to purchase our products.
 
- 12 -

Defects in our products could impair our ability to sell our products or could result in litigation and other significant costs.
 
Detection of any significant defects in our products may result in, among other things, delay in time-to-market, loss of market acceptance and sales of our products, diversion of development resources, and injury to our reputation, or increased warranty costs.  Because our products are technologically complex, they may contain defects that cannot be detected prior to shipment.  These defects could harm our reputation and impair our ability to sell our products.  The costs we may incur in correcting any product defects may be substantial and could decrease our profit margins.  Additionally, errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers, which could result in litigation.  Product liability litigation, even if we prevail, would be time consuming and costly to defend.  Our product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover claims.  Our product liability insurance coverage per occurrence is $1,000,000, with a $2,000,000 aggregate for our general business liability coverage and an additional $1,000,000 per occurrence.  Our excess or umbrella liability coverage per occurrence is $2,000,000, with an aggregate of $4,000,000.
 
Product defects can be caused by design errors, programming bugs, or defects in component parts or raw materials.  This is common to every product manufactured which is based on modern electronic and computer technology.  Because of the extreme complexity of digital in-car video systems, one of the key concerns is operating software robustness.  Some of the software modules are provided to us by outside vendors under license agreements, while other portions are developed by our own software engineers.  As with any software-dependant product, “bugs” can occur, even with rigorous testing before release of the product.  The software included in our digital video rear view mirror and digital video flashlight products is designed to be “field upgradeable” so that changes or fixes can be made by the end user by downloading new software through the internet.  We intend to incorporate this technology into any future products as well, providing a quick resolution to potential software issues that may arise over time.
 
As with all electronic devices, hardware issues can arise from many sources.  The component electronic parts we utilize come from many sources around the world.  We attempt to mitigate the possibility of shipping defective products by fully testing sub-assemblies and thoroughly testing assembled units before they are shipped out to our customers.  Because of the nature and complexity of some of the electronic components used, such as microprocessor chips, memory systems, and zoom video camera modules, it is not technically or financially realistic to attempt to test every single aspect of every single component and their potential interactions.  By using components from reputable and reliable sources, and by using professional engineering, assembly, and testing methods, we seek to limit the possibility of defects slipping through.  In addition to internal testing, we now have thousands of units in the hands of police departments and in use every day.  Over the past year of field use, we have fixed many subtle issues and made many changes as requested by the end-user.
 
We are dependent on key personnel.
 
Our success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers, Stanton E. Ross, Kenneth L. McCoy and Robert D. Haler.  We do not have employment agreements with Messrs. Ross, McCoy or Haler.  The loss of the services of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future.  We have obtained and will maintain key-man life insurance policies on Messrs. Ross and Haler in the amount of $500,000 each.  We are also dependent to a substantial degree on our technical and development staff.  Our success will be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified technical, research, management, marketing and financial personnel.  We will compete with other companies with greater financial and other resources for such personnel.  Although we have not to date experienced difficulty in attracting qualified personnel, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our present personnel or acquire additional qualified personnel as and when needed.
 
We rely on third party distributors and representatives for our marketing capability.
 
Our distribution strategy is to pursue sales through multiple channels with an emphasis on independent distributors and representatives.  Our inability to recruit and retain police equipment distributors and representatives who can successfully sell our products would adversely affect our sales.  In addition, our arrangements with our distributors and representatives are generally short-term.  If we do not competitively price our products, meet the requirements of our distributors and representatives or end-users, provide adequate marketing and technical support, or comply with the terms of our distribution arrangements, our distributors and representatives may fail to aggressively market our products or may terminate their relationships with us.  These developments would likely have a material adverse effect on our sales.  Our reliance on the sales of products by others also makes it more difficult to predict our revenues, cash flow and operating results.
 
- 13 -

We are dependent on manufacturers and suppliers.
 
We currently purchase, and intend to continue to purchase, substantially all of the components for our products from a limited number of manufacturers and suppliers.  Our internal process is principally to assemble the various components and subassemblies manufactured by our suppliers and test the assembled product prior to shipping to our customers.  We do not intend to directly manufacture any of the equipment or parts to be used in our products.  Our reliance upon outside manufacturers and suppliers is expected to continue and involves several risks, including limited control over the availability of components, delivery schedules, pricing and product quality.  We may experience delays, additional expenses and lost sales if we are required to locate and qualify alternative manufacturers and suppliers.
 
A few of the semiconductor chip components for our products are produced by a very small number of specialized manufacturers.  Currently, we purchase one essential semiconductor chip from a single manufacturer.  While we believe that there are alternative sources of supply, if, for any reason, we are precluded from obtaining such a semiconductor chip from this manufacturer, we may experience long delays in product delivery due to the difficulty and complexity involved in producing the required component and we may also be required to pay higher costs for our components.
 
While we do the final assembly, testing, packaging, and shipment of our products in-house, several component parts are being manufactured by subcontractors.  These subcontractors include: raw circuit board manufacturers, circuit board assembly houses, injection plastic molders, metal parts fabricators, and other custom component providers.  While we are dependent upon these subcontractors to the extent that they are producing custom subassemblies and components necessary for manufacturing our products, we still own the designs and intellectual property involved.  This means that the failure of any one contractor to perform may cause delays in production.  However, we can mitigate potential interruptions by maintaining “buffer stocks” of critical parts and subassemblies and by using multiple sources for critical components.  We also have the ability to move our subcontracting to alternate providers.  Being forced to use a different subcontractor could cause production interruptions ranging from negligible, such as a few weeks, to very costly, such as four to six months.
 
There is only one component group that would require a complete redesign of our digital video electronics package: the Texas Instruments chips.  While there are competitive products available, each chip has unique characteristics that would require extensive tailoring of product designs to use it.  The Texas Instrument chips are the heart of our video processing system.  If Texas Instruments became unwilling or unable to provide us with these chips, we would be forced to redesign our digital video encoder and decoder systems.  Such a complete redesign could take substantial time (i.e. over six months) to complete.  We attempt to mitigate the potential for interruption by maintaining continuous stocks of these chips to support several months’ worth of production.  In addition, we regularly check on the end-of-life status of these parts to make sure that we will know well in advance of any decisions by Texas Instruments to discontinue these parts.  There are other semiconductors that are integral to our product design and which could cause delays if discontinued, but not to the same scale as the Texas Instrument chips.
 
We are uncertain of our ability to protect technology through patents.
 
Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting our proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad.  We have filed for patent protection in the United States and certain other countries to cover certain design aspects of our products.  We license the critical technology on which our products are based from Ingenient, Inc., Nuvation and Z-3 pursuant to license agreements.  However, the technology licensed from these licensors is only critical in that it is the basis of our current product design.  We may choose to use other video encoding and decoding technology in future products, thus lessening our dependence on our licenses with these companies.
 
Our patent applications are under review by the U.S. Patent Office and therefore we have not been issued any patents in the United States.  No assurance can be given that any patents relating to our existing technology will be issued from the United States or any foreign patent offices, that we will receive any patents in the future based on our continued development of our technology, or that our patent protection within and/or outside of the United States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or otherwise, from developing or marketing competitive products utilizing our technologies.
 
- 14 -

If our patents were to be denied as filed, we would seek to obtain different patents for other parts of our technology.  If our main patent, which relates to the placement of the in-car video system in a rear view mirror, is denied, it could potentially allow our competitors to build very similar devices.  However, we believe that very few of our competitors would be capable of this because of the level of technical sophistication and level of miniaturization required.  Even if we obtain patents, there can be no assurance that they will be enforceable to prevent others from developing and marketing competitive products or methods.  If we bring an infringement action relating to any future patents, it may require the diversion of substantial funds from our operations and may require management to expend efforts that might otherwise be devoted to our operations.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in enforcing our patent rights.
 
Further, if any patents issue there can be no assurance that patent infringement claims in the United States or in other countries will not be asserted against us by a competitor or others, or if asserted, that we will be successful in defending against such claims.  If one of our products is adjudged to infringe patents of others with the likely consequence of a damage award, we may be enjoined from using and selling such product or be required to obtain a royalty-bearing license, if available on acceptable terms.  Alternatively, if a license is not offered, we might be required, if possible, to redesign those aspects of the product held to infringe so as to avoid infringement liability.  Any redesign efforts undertaken by us might be expensive, could delay the introduction or the re-introduction of our products into certain markets, or may be so significant as to be impractical.
 
We are uncertain of our ability to protect our proprietary technology and information.
 
In addition to seeking patent protection, we will rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to seek to achieve and thereafter maintain a competitive advantage.  Although we have entered into or intend to enter into confidentiality and invention agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors, no assurance can be given that such agreements will be honored or that we will be able to effectively protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and know-how.  Moreover, no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.
 
Risks related to our license arrangements.
 
We have licensing agreements with Ingenient, Nuvation and Z-3 regarding certain software used as the platform for the proprietary software we have developed for use in our products.  Each of these licensing agreements have specified terms and are renewable on an annual basis unless both parties determine not to renew them and provided the parties are in compliance with the agreements.  If we fail to make the payments under these licenses or if these licenses are not renewed for any reason, it would cause us significant time and expense to redevelop our software on a different software platform, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
 
Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate unexpectedly from quarter to quarter, which may cause our stock price to decline.
 
Our revenues and operating results have varied significantly in the past and may vary significantly in the future due to various factors that are both within and outside our control.  As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful in the short-term, and our performance in a particular period may not be indicative of our performance in any future period.
 
- 15 -

Coalitions of a few of our larger stockholders have sufficient voting power to make corporate governance decisions that could have significant effect on us and the other stockholders.
 
Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than five percent stockholders) together control approximately 41%, including options vested or to vest within sixty days, of our outstanding common stock.  As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.  In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in our control and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders.  Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.  Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.
 
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
 
The possible issuance of common stock subject to options may dilute the interest of stockholders.
 
We have granted options to purchase a total of 5,369,627 shares of our common stock for issuance under our stock option and restricted stock plans which remain outstanding and unexercised as of December 31, 2008.  To the extent that outstanding stock options are exercised, dilution to the interests of our stockholders may occur.  Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected since the holders of the outstanding options can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided in such outstanding options.
 
We have never paid dividends and have no plans to in the future.
 
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors.  To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operation of our business.  Therefore, any return investors in our common stock will have to be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock.
 
We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.
 
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of our common stock.  The common stock can be issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval.  Any future issuances of our common stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of our Company held by our public stockholders.
 
Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.
 
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile because there has been a relatively thin trading market for our stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price.  You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.
 
Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:
 
·  
digital video in-car recording products not being accepted by the law enforcement industry or digital video recording not being accepted as evidence in criminal proceedings;
 
·  
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
·  
the potential absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
 
·  
we expect our actual operating results to fluctuate widely as we increase our sales and production capabilities and other operations;
 
·  
we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large amount of our stock is closely held;
 
- 16 -

·  
overall stock market fluctuations;
 
·  
economic conditions generally and in the law enforcement and security industries in particular;
 
·  
announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors or customers;
 
·  
our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
 
·  
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform as anticipated by the analysts;
 
·  
announcements of technological innovations;
 
·  
conditions or trends in the industry;
 
·  
litigation;
 
·  
changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
 
·  
announcements by us or our competitors of new products or of significant technical innovations, contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
 
·  
future sales of common stock;
 
·  
actions initiated by the SEC or other regulatory bodies;
 
·  
existence or lack of patents or proprietary rights;
 
·  
departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
 
·  
general market conditions.
 
Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.  In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies.  These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
 
Indemnification of officers and directors.
 
Our articles of incorporation and the bylaws contain broad indemnification and liability limiting provisions regarding our officers, directors and employees, including the limitation of liability for certain violations of fiduciary duties.  Our stockholders therefore will have only limited recourse against such individuals.

ITEM 3.    
Legal Proceedings.
 
On April 9, 2008, Thomas DeHuff filed suit against the Company and Charles A. Ross in the Chancery Court of Lincoln County, Mississippi.  Charles A. Ross, Jr. (“Ross”) is the son of Charles A. Ross and was a former officer and director of the Company.  The complaint alleges that on or about April 8, 2005, the plaintiff entered into a verbal agreement with Ross, whom the plaintiff maintains was acting for and on behalf of the Company, under which he purportedly was to receive 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to resolve certain claims to compensation the plaintiff maintains was due from the Company.  The lawsuit also claims that the plaintiff advanced funds to Ross, believing that he was purchasing the Company’s common stock which was never issued.  Plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages and punitive damages and attorney’s fees in addition to requiring the Company to issue the common stock.  The Company has successfully removed the case from the Chancery Court of Lincoln County, Mississippi to the United States District Court located in Jackson Mississippi.  The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the case, which is currently pending in the United States District Court.  The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself.
 
On July 11, 2008, L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. filed suit against the Company and Trisquare Communications, Inc., a vender of the Company that supplies wireless microphones included in the Company’s products, in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey.  The complaint alleged that the Company infringed on a patent issued to the Plaintiff that covered certain elements of the wireless microphone component of in-car video systems.  The lawsuit sought a permanent injunction regarding the use of this technology, including damages, treble damages and attorney’s fees.  On October 8, 2008, the Company and L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. entered into a settlement agreement that resolved all litigation pertaining to Mobile-Vision's allegations that the Company’s current DVM-500 products infringe Mobile-Vision's patent.  Based on technical disclosures and representations provided by the Company to Mobile-Vision, the parties agreed that the current DVM-500 products do not infringe Mobile-Vision's patent and that no damages are payable based on those technical disclosures and representations.  Each party agreed to bear its own costs and attorney's fees.  The other terms of the resolution are confidential.
 
On July 11, 2008, L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. also filed a complaint against the Company, Trisquare Communications, Inc., and eight other parties requesting that the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) commence an investigation pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930.  The Plaintiff sought to have the ITC issue a permanent cease and desist order prohibiting the importation into the United States of all articles that infringe on its patent that allegedly covers certain elements of the wireless microphone component of in-car video systems.  This litigation was also resolved and dismissed under the same terms described previously.

Dividend Policy
 
To date, we have not declared or paid cash dividends on our shares of common stock.  The holders of our common stock will be entitled to non-cumulative dividends on the shares of common stock, when and as declared by our board of directors, in its discretion.  We intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.
 
Stock Repurchase Plan.  
 
During June 2008, the Board of Directors approved a program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, through July 1, 2010.  The repurchases, if and when made, will be subject to market conditions, applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other factors.  The repurchase program will be funded using a portion of cash and cash equivalents, along with cash flow from operations.  Purchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time.  The Company has repurchased 210,360 shares at a total cost of $1,624,353 (average cost of $7.72 per share) under this program as of December 31, 2008 all of which occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Our board of directors adopted the 2005 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”) on September 1, 2005.  The 2005 Plan authorizes us to issue 2,500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of options and grant of restricted stock awards.  We have issued all of the options available under the 2005 Plan. Options totaling 54,677 under the 2005 Plan have been surrendered/forfeited since they were originally granted and now are available for grant.
 
On January 17, 2006, our board of directors adopted the 2006 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”).  The 2006 Plan authorizes us to reserve 1,500,000 shares for future grants under it.  We have issued all 1,500,000 of the options available under the 2006 Plan.  Options totaling 7,500 under the 2006 Plan have been surrendered/forfeited since they were originally granted and now are available for grant.
 
- 19 -

On January 24, 2007, our board of directors adopted the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”).  The 2007 Plan authorizes us to reserve 1,500,000 shares for future grants under it.  We have issued 1,493,600 of the options available under the 2007 Plan.  Options totaling 32,496 under the 2007 Plan have been surrendered/forfeited since they were originally granted and, together with the 6,400 shares that are authorized but have never been granted, are now available for grant.
 
On January 2, 2008, our board of directors adopted the 2008 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”).  The 2008 Plan authorizes us to reserve 1,000,000 shares for future grants under it.  We have issued 958,000 of the options available under the 2008 Plan, with 42,000 remaining available for future grant.
 
The 2005 Plan, 2006 Plan, 2007 Plan and 2008 Plan are referred to as the “Plans.”
 
The Plans authorize us to grant (i) to the key employees incentive stock options (except for the 2007 Plan) to purchase shares of common stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock awards, and (ii) to non-employee directors and consultants’ non-qualified stock options and restricted stock.  Our Compensation Committee administers the Plans by making recommendations to the board or determinations regarding the persons to whom options or restricted stock should be granted and the amount, terms, conditions and restrictions of the awards.
 
The Plans allow for the grant of incentive stock options (except for the 2007 Plan), non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards.  Incentive stock options granted under the Plans must have an exercise price at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant.  Incentive stock options granted to any person who owns, immediately after the grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock, or of any parent or subsidiary corporation, must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  Non-statutory stock options may have exercise prices as determined by our Compensation Committee.
 
The Compensation Committee is also authorized to grant restricted stock awards under the Plans.  A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of the common stock that is subject to restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or service prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the Compensation Committee.
 
On July 31, 2008, we filed registration statements on Form S-8 and an amendment to a previously filed Form S-8 with the SEC which registered 6,500,000 shares to be issued upon exercise of the stock options underlying the 2005 Plan, 2006 Plan, 2007 Plan and 2008 Plan.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
 
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control.  Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs.  There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate.
 
Factors that could cause or contribute to our actual results differing materially from those discussed herein or for our stock price to be adversely affected include, but are not limited to:  (i) our relatively short operating history; (ii) macro-economic risks from the economic downturn and decrease in budget for the law-enforcement community; (iii) our ability to manage  our rapid business expansion; (iv) our operation in a developing market and uncertainty as to market acceptance of our technology and new products; (v) our ability to achieve revenues of at least $50 million in 2009 as we have forecast; (vi) our ability to deliver our new product offerings as scheduled and have them  perform as planned or advertised; (vii) whether there will be commercial markets, domestically and internationally, for one or more of our new products; (viii) our ability to continue to expand our share of the in-car video market in the domestic and international law enforcement communities; (ix) our ability to continue to produce our products in a cost-effective manner; (x) competition from larger, more established companies with far greater economic and human resources; (xi) our ability to attract and retain quality employees; (xii) risks related to dealing with governmental entities as customers; (xiii) our expenditure of significant resources in anticipation of a sale due to our lengthy sales cycle and the potential to receive no revenue in return; (xiv) characterization of our market by new products and rapid technological change; (xv) our dependence on sales of our DVM-500 product; (xvi) potential that stockholders may lose all or part of their investment if we are unable to compete in our market; (xvii) failure of digital video to yet be widely accepted as admissible scientific evidence in court; (xviii) defects in our products that could impair our ability to sell our products or could result in litigation and other significant costs; (xix) our dependence on key personnel; (xx) our reliance on third party distributors and representatives for our marketing capability; (xxi) our dependence on manufacturers and suppliers; (xxii) our ability to protect technology through patents; (xxiii) our ability to protect our proprietary technology and information as trade secrets and through other similar means; (xxiv) risks related to our license arrangements; (xxv) our revenues and operating results may fluctuate unexpectantly from quarter to quarter; (xxvi)  sufficient voting power by coalitions of a few of our larger stockholders to make corporate governance decisions that could have significant effect on us and the other stockholders; (xxvii) sale of substantial amounts of our common stock that may have a depressive effect on the market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock; (xxviii) possible issuance of common stock subject to options and warrants that may dilute the interest of stockholders; (xxviv) our ability to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 Section 404; (xxx) our nonpayment of dividends and lack of plans to pay dividends in the future; (xxxi) future sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock that could depress the trading price of our common stock, lower our value and make it more difficult for us to raise capital; (xxxii) our additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock; (xxxiii) our stock price which is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a relatively  limited public float; and (xxxiv) indemnification of our officers and directors.

Recent Developments for the Company
 
Overview
 
We supply technology-based products based upon portable digital video and audio recording capabilities, primarily for the law enforcement and security industries.  We have the ability to integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create unique solutions to customers’ requests.
 
Since our inception in 2003 through the second quarter of 2006, we had been considered a development stage company, with our activities focused on organizational activities, including design and development of product lines, implementing a business plan, establishing sales channels, and development of business strategies.  In late March 2006, we sold and shipped our first completed product, thereby becoming an operating company.   We have experienced significant growth in revenues, whereby our revenues have increased from $4.1 million in 2006 to $32.6 million in 2008.  We have active research and development projects that we anticipate will result in several new products being launched during 2009 and beyond.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.  We are a party to operating leases and license agreements that represent commitments for future payments (described in Note 8 to the financial statements).   In addition, we have issued purchase orders in the ordinary course of business that represent commitments to future payments for goods and services.

Revenues
 
We commenced delivery and sale of our digital video rear view mirror (DVM-500) product in March 2006 and have enjoyed revenue growth in every year since our initial deliveries.  We have customers in all 50 states and our largest single order to date in the amount of $5.1 million was placed by an international customer.  We believe our DVM-500 product has achieved widespread acceptance in the marketplace.  In addition, we intend to expand our product line significantly in 2009, which we anticipate will contribute to increasing our 2009 revenues.  These new product offerings include new products for end users other than law enforcement, as well as product upgrades and new product offerings for law enforcement uses.  Sales for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $32,625,477 and $19,391,082, respectively, an increase of $13,234,395 (68%), due to increased market penetration.   We expect that the current economic downturn in the overall economy will have some effect on certain state and local tax bases that will negatively affect our business for 2009. However, we expect that any increase in federal funding to states and municipalities generated from the stimulus bill recently enacted by the federal government may partially, if not totally, offset the impact of lower state and local tax collections.  Our international revenues were $8,588,335, or 26% of total revenues during 2008 and $5,751,042 or 30% of 2007 revenues.  We believe that our product is particularly well suited for international customers because of the ease of installation, price, and our two-year warranty, the simple operation of our equipment and the universal nature of rear view mirrors.  For these reasons, we believe our international business will grow in terms of total revenue and as a percent of total revenue during 2009, which may partially offset the weakness in our domestic revenues.
 
We have maintained consistent retail pricing on our digital video rear view mirror system during 2008 and do not plan any increases in the pricing during 2009 for the legacy DVM-500 system.  Our new products include an upgrade to the DVM-500 model, which will be sold at higher retail pricing levels during 2009 due to increased features.  However, international sales are typically priced at discounted rates because we are not required to provide certain follow-on technical support and we incur reduced sales commissions on such sales.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales on units sold for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $12,980,683 and $7,649,930, respectively, an increase of $5,330,753 (70%).  The significant increase is due to the increase in units sold, as well as a $332,793 increase in the reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory during 2008.  We believe these reserves are appropriate given the increased inventory levels we have at December 31, 2008 compared to 2007 and the new product introductions we anticipate during 2009.  Our new product offerings during 2009 will likely increase our cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales due to costs and inefficiencies related to advancing engineering prototypes to commercial production.  We do not expect significant capital expenditures to ramp up production of the new products since our internal process is largely assembling subcomponents, testing and shipping of completed products.  We rely on our subcontractors to produce finished circuit boards that represent the primary component in our product, thereby reducing our need to purchase capital equipment.  However, we will need to acquire test and calibration equipment to ensure the completed product meets our specifications and requirements.
 
We primarily order finished component parts, including electronics boards, chips and camera parts, from outside suppliers.  Our internal work consists of assembly, testing and burn-in of the finished units.  We have added indirect production and purchasing personnel to help manage and to gain efficiencies in our production process as we continue to significantly increase our production rates and expand our product line during 2008 and beyond.  We have hired a new purchasing manager in order to concentrate on improving our raw material and component costs by managing our supply chain better through quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices.  We believe that with an increased production rate and expanded product lines in 2009, we will be able to reduce our component and supply chain costs by ordering in larger quantities.  In addition, we believe that increased production rates in 2009 will stimulate further efficiencies in our assembly, testing and burn in process that will lead to cost of sales improvements.   However we expect these supply chain efficiencies will be less than the impact from the introduction of new products on our cost of sales during 2009 resulting in an overall increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales.
 
Gross Margin
 
Gross margin for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $19,644,794 and $11,741,152, respectively, an increase of $7,903,642 (67%).  The significant increase is commensurate with the 68% growth in revenues we experienced during 2008.  The gross margin percentages remained relatively steady at 60% and 61% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Our margins are expected to be lower than normal on revenues contributed by our new products as we bring these products into commercial production during 2009.  However, as revenues increase from these products, we will seek to improve our margins from these new products somewhat from economies of scale and more effectively utilizing fixed manufacturing overhead components.   We plan to concentrate on managing our supply chain better through quantity purchases and more effective purchasing practices. However, on an overall basis we expect a slight decline in our gross margin percentage in 2009 due primarily to the impact of our new product offerings.

Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses were $14,544,759 and $8,875,915 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $5,668,844 (64%).  Overall operating expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 44% in 2008 compared to 46% in 2007. A summary of the significant components of operating expenses are as follows:
 
   
Year ended December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
             
Research and development expenses

    2,217,402       1,269,621

    3,670,781       2,396,193  
Total
  $ 14,544,759     $ 8,875,915  
 
Research and Development Expenses.  We continue to focus on bringing new products and updates and revisions to current products to market with these expenses totaling $3,127,143 and $1,518,914 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1,608,229 (106%).  The increase in 2008 was attributable to our continued efforts to develop new products and line extensions for our current products that we plan to bring to market during 2009, as well as additional internal staff additions related to the same activities.  We employed a total of 29 engineers at December 31, 2008 as compared to 14 at December 31, 2007, most of which are dedicated to research and development activities for new products.  Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 10% in 2008 and 8% in 2007, illustrating our commitment to bringing new products to market and expanding our current product line.  We have active research and development projects on several new products designed for the motorcycle, school bus, mass transit, taxi cab and other markets, as well as upgrades to our existing product lines.  In addition, we have been and are currently attempting to hire additional engineers to focus on these development projects.  Therefore, we believe that such expense will continue to increase during 2009, although we expect that such expense as a percentage of total revenues will likely remain steady or decline as our revenues increase.  We consider our research and development capabilities and new product focus to be a competitive advantage and will continue to invest in this area.
 
Stock based Compensation Expenses.  Stock based compensation expenses totaled $1,599,264 and $1,696,959 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of $97,695 (6%).  The decrease in 2008 was primarily attributable to the longer vesting periods associated with the 2008 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”) offset by the higher number of options issued in 2007, which had shorter vesting periods.
 
On January 2, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the 2008 Plan, which reserved 1,000,000 shares to be granted under it.  In addition, the Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase 900,000 shares to executive officers and directors at an exercise price of $6.80 per share, subject to a graduated, four-year vesting period and to approval of the 2008 Plan by the shareholders.  The 2008 Plan was approved by the shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on May 1, 2008, at which time the option value was determined and the amortization of the option value expense commenced.  In addition, 58,000 options were granted during November 2008, subject to a one year vesting period.  We expect that total stock compensation expense for 2009 will continue to decline compared to 2008 levels.
 
- 24 -

Sales Commissions.  Sales commissions totaled $2,765,058 and $1,333,394 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1,431,664 (107%).  The increase in 2008 was commensurate with the 68% increase in revenue experienced during the years ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007.  Sales commissions as a percentage of total revenues were 8.5% during the year ended December 31, 2008, a slight increase from the 6.9% experienced in 2007.  The increased percentage is attributable to a change involving our largest individual customer during the third quarter of 2008, whereby this international customer commenced buying direct from the Company rather than through our international distributor.  In order to effect this change, we began paying commissions on such sales.
 
Professional fees and expenses.  Professional fees and expenses totaled $1,165,111 and $660,834 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $504,277 (76%).  Professional fees and expenses, which primarily include legal and accounting expenses, increased because of our increased reporting and other requirements after becoming an SEC reporting company in May 2007.  In addition, we incurred substantial legal expenses related to the L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. and Dehuff litigation during 2008 which did not occur in 2007.  The L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. litigation has been settled; however, the Dehuff litigation is still pending. We also incurred higher accounting and auditing fees during 2008 now that we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that we were not subject to previously.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Salaries.  General and administrative salaries totaled $2,217,402 and $1,269,621 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $947,781 (75%).  The increase in 2008 was commensurate with the 68% increase in revenue experienced during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007.  We have added administrative personnel during early 2008 in order to build the infrastructure required for our current and planned growth in 2009 and beyond.  Effective January 2009, we have hired three new sales employees, including an international sales manager, an inside sales manager and a national accounts manager, to improve our sales and marketing infrastructure in anticipation of the new products being launched in 2009 and to increase our presence internationally.  General and administrative salaries as a percentage of total revenues increased slightly to 6.8% during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 6.5% during 2007.
 
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses totaled $3,670,781 and $2,396,193 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1,274,588 (53%).  The increase in 2008 was commensurate with the 68% increase in revenue experienced during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007.   In order to support our significant increase in revenue, we incurred greater facility-related expenses, depreciation, general and administrative, and travel during 2008.  During late 2007, we combined our corporate offices with our sales and marketing offices into one facility.  The Company has incurred increased travel costs for our executives to attend investor conferences and meet with potential institutional investors to expand our base of shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2008, which did not occur in 2007. Other operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 11% during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 12% during 2007.
 
Operating Income
 
For the reasons previously stated, our operating income was $5,100,035 and $2,865,237 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an improvement of $2,234,798 (78%).  Operating income as a percentage of revenues improved to 16% in 2008 as compared to 15% in 2007.  We believe such positive trends in operating income will continue in 2009 as our revenue and gross margins dollars increase and management’s continued monitoring and control over selling general and administrative expenses.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
Other income (expense) improved to $78,595 in 2008 from ($4,903) in 2007.  Other income (expense) is primarily composed of interest income and expense.  Changes in these items are described as follows:
 
Interest Income.  We earned interest income of $78,595 and $34,609 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $43,986 (127%).  The increase in interest income was a result of our increased average cash balances during 2008 compared to 2007.
 
- 25 -

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $-0- and $28,006 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of $28,006 (100%).  With improved cash flow from business growth, we paid off our line of credit during early 2007 and the holder of a $500,000 convertible promissory note exercised his right to exchange such promissory note for 500,000 shares of common stock during May 2007.  We have had no interest bearing debt outstanding since May 2007.
 
Income before Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
 
As a result of the above, we reported income before income tax (provision) benefit of $5,178,630 and $2,860,334 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an improvement of $2,318,296 (81%).
 
Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
 
Our income tax provision was $1,825,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to an income tax benefit was $1,663,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  We reduced the deferred tax valuation allowance by $2,725,000 due to the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards in the year ended December 31, 2007, the anticipated usage of the remaining net operating loss carryforward based upon our projected profitability and the reversal of other deferred tax assets.  Prior to 2007, management recorded a 100% valuation allowance offsetting this tax benefit from prior net operating loss carryforwards and timing differences due to uncertainty regarding our likelihood of realizing a material portion of the benefit.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes at an effective tax rate of 35%.  The majority of our tax provision for 2008 was offset by the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and by tax deductions related to the exercise of stock purchase options and warrants during 2008 and therefore did not require cash payments to taxing authorities.  During 2008 , the Company realized an aggregate tax deduction approximating $6,992,000 relative to the exercise of such stock options and warrants which generated excess tax benefits of $2,345,000  that has been allocated directly to additional paid in capital during the years ended December 31, 2008.
 
Net Income
 
As a result of the above, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we reported net income of $3,353,630 and $4,523,334, respectively, a decrease of $1,169,704.  The primary reason for the decrease is the one-time income tax benefit of $2,725,000 recorded in 2007.
 
Basic and Diluted Income per Share
 
The basic income per share was $0.22 and $0.33 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for the reasons previously noted.  The diluted income per share was $0.19 and $0.28, respectively, for the same periods.  The difference between basic and dilutive income per share is attributable to the dilutive effect of shares issuable under stock options and warrants.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overall: During 2008 and 2007, we funded our operations internally through operations and the exercise of stock options and related tax benefits.  Prior to 2007 and 2008, we provided for our cash requirements through private placements of our common stock.  In 2005, we raised a net of $4.1 million from the sale of our common stock and, during the third quarter of 2006, we completed a private placement of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants, which raised a net of $1.6 million.  During March 2006, we began shipment of our products and commenced the generation of revenues and operating cash flows to help support our activities.  During the fourth quarter of 2006, we established a $500,000 revolving line of credit with a bank, which we utilized to support our activities.  In April 2007, we paid off the line of credit in full, and the bank expanded the line of credit to $1.5 million.  The holder of a $500,000 note payable exercised its right to convert the note to 500,000 shares of common stock, which was completed during the second quarter of 2007.  During February 2009, our bank renewed our operating line of credit through February 2010 and expanded the borrowing capacity to $2.5 million.  As of December 31, 2008, we had working capital of $13,942,021 and we had no long-term or short-term interest bearing debt outstanding.  We have not had any interest bearing debt outstanding since May 2007.

Cash and cash equivalents balances:  As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance of $1,205,947, down from a balance of $4,255,039 at December 31, 2007.  Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent sub-sections are the main elements of the $3,049,092 net decrease in cash during the year ended December 31, 2008:
 
· Operating activities: 
$4,469,848 of net cash used in operating activities, primarily from a substantial increase in accounts receivable and inventory balances partially offset by cash provided by net income adjusted for non-cash charges, such as stock based compensation expense and non-cash credits, such as deferred income tax benefits and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
· Investing activities:  
$1,674,863 of net cash used in investing activities, primarily to acquire equipment to expand our research, development and production capabilities and the purchase of technology licenses utilized in our products.
 
· Financing activities:  
$3,095,619 of net cash provided by financing activities, representing the proceeds from stock option and warrants exercised and the related excess tax benefit offset by the purchase of common shares for treasury.
 
Operating activities:  Net cash used in operating activities was $4,469,848 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4,870,409 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $9,340,257.  The negative cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 is primarily the result of a substantial increase in trade accounts receivable ($5,781,071) and inventory ($5,728,656) during 2008.  Accounts receivable balances increased because of two individual accounts totaling $2,889,645 which were not collected until after December 31, 2008.  Excluding these two large receivables, our average days’ sales outstanding was 36 days at December 31, 2008.   The build-up in inventory is attributable to a shortfall in our fourth quarter sales versus expectations that resulted in substantially higher levels of finished goods, totaling $2,798,269 at December 31, 2008 compared to $214,685 at December 31, 2007.  In addition, our raw materials and component parts balance was approximately $6.0 million, representing an increase of $3.1 million from December 31, 2007, which is attributable to inventory acquired for the new products that will be introduced in 2009 and inventory acquired to meet sales forecasts for the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter 2009.  Offsetting the negative cash flows described above is our 2008 net income of $3,353,630, an increase in accounts payable ($1,782,734) and accrued expenses ($545,929), and non-cash charges of $1,904,088, which were primarily related to stock based compensation ($1,599,264), and depreciation and amortization ($455,255).
 
Investing activities:  Cash used in investing activities was $1,674,863 and $562,978 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In both 2008 and 2007, we purchased production, research and development equipment and office furniture and fixtures to support our activities.  During 2008, we acquired several licenses for technology utilized in our products and included in intangible assets.
 
Financing activities:  During the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $3,095,619, which is attributable to proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase options and warrants of $2,374,972 and the related excess tax benefit totaling $2,345,000.  During 2008, we purchased common shares for treasury in the amount of $1,624,353.  We have not had any outstanding debt since May 2007.
 
The net result of these activities was a decrease in cash of $3,049,092 to $1,205,947 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Commitments:
 
We had $1,205,947 of cash and cash equivalent balances and net positive working capital approximating $14 million as of December 31, 2008.  Accounts receivable balances represented $6,242,306 of our net working capital at December 31, 2008.  We expect our outstanding receivables will be collected timely and the overall level to be reduced substantially during 2009, which will provide positive cash flows to support our operations in 2009.  Inventory represents $8,359,961 of our net working capital at December 31, 2008.  We are actively managing the overall level of inventory and expect that such levels will be reduced substantially during 2009, which will provide cash flow to help support our operations in 2009.  In addition, in February 2009 we renewed our revolving line of credit for an additional one year term until February 2010 and increased our maximum available borrowings to $2,500,000.  The renewed line of credit bears variable interest at the bank’s prime rate less 0.50%, with a floor of 5.5%.  We believe we have adequate cash balances and available borrowings under our line of credit to support our anticipated cash needs and related business activities during 2009.
 
Capital Expenditures.  We had no material commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2008.
 
Lease commitments.  The Company has several non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space and warehouse space.  The agreements expire from June 2010 to October 2012.  The Company also has entered into month-to-month leases for equipment.  Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $375,321 and $183,306, respectively, related to these leases.
 
The future minimum amounts due under the leases are as follows:  
 
Year ending December 31:
     
2009
  $ 397,332  
2010
    265,561  
2011
    169,086  
2012
    140,905  
2013
     
    $ 972,884  
 
License agreements.  The Company has several license agreements license agreements under which we have been assigned the rights to certain licensed materials used in our products.  Certain of these agreements require the Company to pay ongoing royalties based on the number of products shipped containing the licensed material on a quarterly basis.  One license contains a provision that requires minimum royalty payments equivalent to $90,000 per year beginning on the date of the first production delivery, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2009.  No other licenses contain provisions requiring minimum royalty payments.  Royalty expense related to these agreements aggregated $38,646 and $21,739 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Litigation.  On April 9, 2008, Thomas DeHuff filed suit against the Company and Charles A. Ross in the Chancery Court of Lincoln County, Mississippi.  Charles A. Ross, Jr., (“Ross”) is the son of Charles A. Ross and was a former officer and director of the Company.  The complaint alleges that on or about April 8, 2005, the plaintiff entered into a verbal agreement with Ross, whom the plaintiff maintains was acting for and on behalf of the Company, under which he purportedly was to receive 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to resolve certain claims to compensation the plaintiff maintains was due from the Company.  The lawsuit also claims that the plaintiff advanced funds to Ross, believing that he was purchasing the Company common stock which was never issued.  Plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages and punitive damages and attorney fees in addition to requiring the Company to issue the common shares.  The Company has successfully removed the case from the Chancery Court of Lincoln County, Mississippi to the United States District Court located in Jackson Mississippi.  The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the case which is currently pending in the United States District Court.  The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and will vigorously defend itself.
 
401 (k) Plan.  In July 2008, the Company amended and restated its 401(k) retirement savings plan.  The amended plan requires the Company to provide a 100% matching contribution for employees who elect to contribute up to 3% of their compensation to the plan and a 50% matching contribution for employee’s elective deferrals between 4% and 5%.  The Company has made matching contributions totaling $65,208 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Each participant is 100% vested at all times in employee and employer matching contributions.
 
Stock Repurchase Program. During September 2008, the Board of Directors approved the Stock Repurchase Program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, through July 1, 2010.  The repurchases, if and when made, will be subject to market conditions, applicable rules of the SEC and other factors.  Purchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time.  A total of 210,360 shares have been repurchased under this program as of December 31, 2008 at a total cost of $1,624,353 ($7.72 per share average).  We used cash available to make such purchases.  In the future, we plan to use available cash and cash equivalent balances, together with cash generated by future operations, to fund any purchases of the shares.  Management believes that the prudent repurchase of our common stock from time-to-time represents an efficient way to improve shareholder value as compared to the current 1.0%  interest earned on our cash balances and will not inhibit our ability to fund current and anticipated future product line expansions.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Certain accounting estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements require us to make judgments and estimates and the financial results we report may vary depending on how we make these judgments and estimates.  Our critical accounting estimates are set forth below and have not changed during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
Revenue Recognition/Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
Nature of estimates required.  The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of uncollectible accounts receivable at the balance sheet date.  We monitor our credit exposure on a regular basis and assess the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis.
 
Assumptions and approach used.  We estimate our required allowance for doubtful accounts using the following key assumptions:
 
·  
Historical collections – Represented as the amount of historical uncollectible accounts as a percent of total accounts receivable.
 
·  
Specific credit exposure on certain accounts – Identified based on management’s review of the accounts receivable portfolio and taking into account the financial condition of customers that management may deem to be higher risk of collection.
 
- 29 -

Sensitivity Analysis.  Prior to 2007, we did not consider an allowance for doubtful accounts necessary.  However, with continued monitoring we determined the need to establish an allowance due to our rapid growth during 2007 and 2008.  Even though we do not anticipate bad debt losses based on our excellent customer payment history, we have established a reserve and will monitor it regularly.
 
Inventories
 
Nature of estimates required.  In our third year of production, we have carried large quantities of component inventory in order to meet our customers’ demands.  This inventory consisted of electronic circuitry, boards and camera parts.  Given the nature of potential obsolescence in this ever-changing environment, there is a risk of impairment in inventory that is unsalable, non-refundable, slow moving or obsolete.  The use of estimates is required in determining the salvage value of this inventory.
 
Assumptions and approach used.  We estimate our inventory obsolescence reserve at each balance sheet date based on the following assumptions:
 
·  
Slow moving products – Items identified as slow moving are evaluated on a case by case basis for impairment.
 
·  
Obsolete/discontinued inventory – Products identified that are near or beyond their expiration, or new models are now available.  Should this occur, we estimate the market value of this inventory as if it were to be liquidated.
 
·  
Estimated salvage value/sales price – Salvage value is estimated using management’s evaluation of remaining value of this inventory and the ability to liquidate this inventory.
 
Sensitivity analysis.  At this point in our products’ early life cycles, coupled with prudent levels of purchasing activity to support the growing demands for our products, we have developed a methodology to determine slow moving or obsolete inventory.  We will continue to assess the condition of our inventory and take necessary measures to adjust these values as deemed appropriate.
 
Warranties
 
Nature of estimate required.  In the third year of sales and as the volume of our sales continues to increase at a rapid pace, we have established a warranty accrual for future warranty costs related to current sales.  We monitor our warranty costs on a regular basis and assess the adequacy of our warranty accrued on a quarterly basis.
 
Assumptions and approach used.  We estimate our required accrual for warranty costs using the following key assumptions:
 
 
·
Historical costs - Represented as the amount of historical warranty costs as a percent of sales.
 
 
·
Specific exposure on certain products or customers - Identified by management’s review of warranty costs and customer responses.
 
Sensitivity analysis.  Prior to 2007, we did not consider the need for a warranty accrual based upon actual warranty costs due to the limited amount of sales.  As sales volume has continued to grow at a rapid pace during 2007 and 2008, there is a greater risk for increased warranty costs.  We will continue to assess the warranty accrual on a quarterly basis and take the necessary measures to adjust the accrual as deemed appropriate.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
Nature of estimates required.  We expense all research and development costs as incurred.  We incurred substantial costs related to research and development as we prepared our products for market, and will continue to incur these costs as we develop new products and enhance our existing products.
 
- 30 -

Assumptions and approach used.  As we moved to production, many of these costs shifted to expenses related to the production of this product (cost of sales), thus reducing our research and development expense. However, we continue to provide support to the development of enhancements to our existing products, as well as to invest resources in the development of new products.
 
Sensitivity analysis.  We continually evaluate our efforts in new product development so that we properly classify costs to either production of existing product or research and development costs related to bringing new and enhanced products to market.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
Nature of estimates required.  The estimates and assumptions pertaining to stock based compensation pertain to the Black-Scholes valuation model and are noted above under Critical Accounting Policies.
 
Assumption and approach used.  For our stock option plans, the assumptions for term, volatility, interest rate and forfeitures have all been addressed specifically to the particulars of each option plan in calculating the associated expense.
 
The expected term of each plan has been projected based on the estimated term (expected time to exercise said options) in relation to the vesting period and expiration of the options.  The expected volatility of award grants is properly measured using historical stock prices over the expected term of the award.  The risk-free interest rate used is in relation to the expected term of awards. Finally, forfeitures are based on the history of cancellation of awards granted.
 
Sensitivity analysis.  We will continually monitor costs related to stock based compensation, and adjust analyses for changes in estimates and assumptions, such as: shifts in expected term caused by shifts in the exercising of options; expected volatility shifts caused by changes in our historical stock prices; interest rate shifts in relation to expected term of awards; and, shifts in forfeitures as we experience potential cancellations of awards caused by loss of personnel holding such awards.
 
The common stock purchase warrants issued to investors in our 2006 private placement are not accounted for under SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” because the warrant agreements contain no provision for us to use any of our cash or other assets to settle the warrants.  The stock warrants are not considered derivatives under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133) as the warrant agreements meet the scope exception in paragraph 11.a. of SFAS No. 133 as the stock warrants are indexed to our common stock and are classified in stockholder’s equity under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-19 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.”  The stock warrants are included with the proceeds from the issuance of common stock.  Warrants issued to non-employees who are not investors purchasing common stock are accounted for under SFAS No. 123.  The fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and that amount is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Income Taxes
 
Nature of estimates required.  We have substantial net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax items for which deferred tax assets are recognized for financial accounting and reporting purposes.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management must consider the likelihood that such deferred tax assets will be realized based on our current and projected future operating results.
 
Assumptions and approach used.  Historically, management has provided a 100% valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets because of our history of operating losses and unproven marketability and profitability of our products.  During 2006, we began shipping products which has resulted in substantial revenue growth whereby we have generated significant taxable income in 2008 and 2007.  Management has evaluated the likelihood of our ability to realize our deferred tax assets through principally the current and anticipated generation of taxable income.  Based on that evaluation, management has determined that the valuation allowance should be substantially reduced as of December 31, 2007.  There was no change in the valuation allowance during 2008.
 
Sensitivity analysis.  Management will continually monitor, evaluate and adjust our evaluation/analyses of the likelihood of our ability to realize our deferred tax assets based upon projected future financial results.  This evaluation may require changes in the valuation allowance when and if conditions change that could affect our current and future operations.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including this Annual Report, were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and was accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
·  
Provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
·  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness 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 the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
- 32 -

In connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.  Based on our assessment using those criteria, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
 
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report following below:
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Digital Ally, Inc.
Overland Park, Kansas
 
We have audited Digital Ally, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Digital Ally, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, Digital Ally, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the financial statements of Digital Ally, Inc. and our report dated March 9, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion.
