NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Iveda Solutions, Inc. (“Iveda”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada as Charmed Homes, Inc. in June 2006. On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight, d/b/a Iveda, a Washington corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December 2010, IntelaSight merged with and into the Company and the Company became the surviving company. Iveda offered the first cloud hosting of streaming and recorded video from security cameras for its customers and real-time remote surveillance service utilizing intervention specialists to watch our customers’ cameras in real time, 24/7. Iveda offers smart city technologies globally, offering advanced AI-driven video surveillance solutions and a robust suite of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms that power digital transformation for cities and commercial clients worldwide.

 

Consolidation

 

Effective April 30, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Sole Vision Technologies (fka MEGAsys and dba Iveda Taiwan), a company based in Taiwan. We consolidate our financial statements with the financial statements of Iveda Taiwan. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company recorded a net loss of $1.3 million and used cash in operations of $2.4 million during the period ended June 30, 2026. During 2025, and subsequently, the Company took significant steps to raise capital to fund operations, and to reduce its historical operating losses. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company’s management has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying financial statements were issued. As of the issuance date of these financial statements, management expects that the Company’s cash of $4.8 million at June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating plan for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

Management’s assessment whether there is sufficient cash on hand, together with expected capital raises, to assure operations for a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued, is based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, considering various scenarios, projections, and estimates and certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among other factors, management’s ability to increase operating efficiencies, raise additional capital, and the expected timing and nature of the Company’s forecasted cash expenditures.

 

Historically, the Company has financed its operations through public and private sales of common stock, credit lines from financial institutions, and cash generated from operations. As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, deferred cost of revenue, share-based compensation, deferred income taxes, provisions for losses, and inventory reserve, among other items.

 

Revenue and Expense Recognition

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related appropriate guidance. The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle to depict the transfer of control to its customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which it expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

 

The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customer. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company had concluded its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration for the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customers’ ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, it has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligations is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment unless installation is required as with certain of our Taiwan sales – see below. Further in determining whether control has been transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. Customers do not have a right to return the product other than for warranty reasons for which they would only receive repair services or replacement product. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions for product sales when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

 

The Company sells its products and services primarily to municipalities and commercial customers in the following manner:

 

  The majority of Iveda Taiwan sales are project sales to Taiwan customers and are made direct to the end customer (typically a municipality or a commercial customer) through its sales force, which is composed of its employees. Revenue is recorded when the equipment is shipped to the end customer unless the contract requires the inventory to be installed before it can be billed and charged for service when installation or maintenance work is performed. If inventory is shipped to the customer before it is installed, the inventory is reclassified to Deferred Cost of Goods.

 

Revenue for product and software sales without installation is recorded when the product and/or software has been shipped to the customer. Revenue from fixed-price equipment installation contracts, if any, is recognized as the contracts allow for invoicing at various milestones.

 

General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Changes in estimated job profitability resulting from job performance, job conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders, and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period. Profit incentives are included in revenue when their realization is deemed earned by the contract.

 

  Iveda US hardware sales are to domestic and international independent distributors or integrators who purchase products from the Company at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically municipalities or a commercial customer) at a retail price. The Company will maintain product inventory and ship to the distributor or integrator or product is drop shipped from the manufacturer at the request of the Company to the distributor or integrator, and the Company at all times maintains the obligation to pay vendors and all related risks and rewards of ownership of customer receivables. Accordingly, upon application of steps one through five above, revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the distributor or as directed by the distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement.
     
  Iveda US also sells a one time software license to customers that allows them to activate software embedded in the purchased hardware. The software revenues are recorded as the license is delivered.
     
  Iveda US also sells hardware and software warranty and maintenance for an annual fee that is paid yearly. The revenues are recorded annually, if the revenue is a material amount it will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective time period.

 

The Company sells and installs video surveillance systems comprised of various components of hardware and software.

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

 

Substantially all cash is deposited in three financial institutions, two in the United States and one in Taiwan. At times, amounts on deposit in the United States may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Deposits in Taiwan financial institutions are insured by CDIC (Central Deposit Insurance Corporation) with maximum coverage of 3 million New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). At times, amounts on deposit in Taiwan may be in excess of the CDIC Insurance limit.

 

Revenue from three customers out of approximately 74 total customers represented approximately 72% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026. These specific customers were 1) National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology with 41%, 2) Chunghwa Telecom with 17% and Security Integration & Consultant Technology Co., LTD. with 14% (all Taiwan companies).

 

Revenue from two customers out of approximately 70 total customers represented approximately 52% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These specific customers were 1) National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology with 31% and 2) Taiwan Stock Exchange with 21% (both Taiwan companies).

 

No other customers represented greater than 10% of total revenues the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025.

 

93% of the total accounts receivable at June 30, 2026 was from four customers out of a total of 32 customer accounts receivable accounts. These specific customers included US customer Claro Enterprise Systems at 28%, Taiwan customers; Chunghwa Telecom at 27%, MiTAC Advance Technology Corp. at 20% and HWACOM Systems Inc. at 17%. Our accounts receivable are unsecured, and we are at risk to the extent such amounts become uncollectible. Although we perform periodic evaluations of our customers’ credit and financial condition, we do not require collateral in exchange for our products and services provided on credit. These customers are longtime customers, and we don’t expect any problem with the collectability of these accounts receivable.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of its subsidiary located in Taiwan. The subsidiary’s functional currency is the Taiwan New Dollar (TWD). For consolidation purposes, the subsidiary’s financial statements are translated into US Dollars (USD) using the following methods: Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Income statement items are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate fluctuations between TWD and USD result in gains or losses that are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) until they are realized. The Company had approximately $1 million and $1.4 million of its cash and cash equivalents in Taiwan New Dollars at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We provide an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. For our U.S.-based segment, receivables past due more than 120 days, if any, are considered delinquent. For our Taiwan-based segment, receivables over one year, if any, are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit valuation and specific circumstances of the customer. As of June 30, 2026, we had a reserve for doubtful collections of $20,000 and no reserve necessary at December 31, 2025.

 

Warrant Instruments

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the instrument holders could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and, for liability-classified warrants, at each reporting period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans in our Taiwan-based segment.

 

  

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock, stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. We recognized $12,000 and $0 of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and we recognized $12,000 and $0 of stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to the amortization of stock options.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized by the level of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Section 820 defines the following levels of subjectivity associated with the inputs:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of June 30, 2026 and 2025. The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate their fair values or because they are receivable or payable on demand. The carrying values of financing obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements and guidance issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
