NOTE 1.         NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business:
 
Digital Ally, Inc. produces digital video imaging, audio recording and related storage products for use in law enforcement and security applications.  Its current products are an in-car digital video/audio recorder contained in a rear-view mirror and a digital video/audio recorder contained in a flashlight sold to law enforcement agencies and other security organizations.  The Company has active research and development programs to adapt its technologies to other applications. The Company has the ability to integrate electronic, radio, computer, mechanical, and multi-media technologies to create unique solutions to address needs in a variety of other industries and markets, including mass transit, school bus, taxi cab and the military.
 
The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2000 as Vegas Petra, Inc. and had no operations until 2004.  On November 30, 2004 the Company entered into a Plan of Merger with Digital Ally, Inc., at which time the merged entity was renamed Digital Ally, Inc.  Since inception through early 2006, the Company was considered a development stage company, with its 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, the Company shipped its first completed product, and became an operating company for financial accounting and reporting purposes.
 
The following is a summary of the Company’s Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
 
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and line of credit, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
 
Revenue Recognition:
 
Revenues from the sale of products are recorded when the product is shipped, title and risk of loss have transferred to the purchaser, payment terms are fixed or determinable and payment is reasonably assured.   Sales taxes collected on products sold are excluded from revenues and are reported as an accrued expense in the accompanying balance sheet until payments are remitted.
 
Use of Estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents:
 
Cash and cash equivalents include funds on hand, in bank and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.  Included in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2008 are short-term investments in repurchase agreements with its bank of approximately $3,326,373, which is collateralized 105% by the pledge of government agency securities.
 
Accounts Receivable:
 
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a weekly basis. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
 
A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than thirty (30) days beyond terms. No interest is charged on overdue trade receivables.
 
7

Inventories:
 
Inventories consist of electronic parts, circuitry boards, camera parts and ancillary parts (collectively “components”), work-in-process and finished goods, and are carried at the lower of cost (First-in, First-out Method) or market value. The Company determines the estimate for the reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventories by regularly evaluating individual inventory levels, projected sales and current economic conditions.
 
 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment:
 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized while ordinary maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from 3 to 10 years.
 
Intangible assets:
 
Intangible assets include deferred patent costs and website development costs.  Legal expenses incurred in preparation of patent application have been deferred and will be amortized over the useful life of granted patents. Costs incurred in preparation of applications that are not granted will be charged to expense at that time.
 
Long-Lived Assets:
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. As of September 30, 2008, there has been no impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets.
 
Warranties:
 
The Company’s products carry explicit product warranties that extend two years from the date of shipment. The Company records a provision for estimated warranty costs based upon historical warranty loss experience and periodically adjusts these provisions to reflect actual experience. Accrued warranty costs are included in accrued expenses.
 
Customer deposits:
 
The Company requires deposits in advance of shipment for certain customer sales orders, in particular when accepting orders from foreign customers. Customer deposits are reflected as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs:
 
Shipping and handling costs for outbound sales orders totaled $110,746 and $53,498 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and $37,136 and $8,310 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Such costs are included in cost of sales in the statements of income.
 
Advertising Costs:
 
Advertising expense includes costs related to trade shows and conventions, promotional material and supplies, and media costs. Advertising costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. The Company incurred total advertising expense of approximately $338,109 and $423,355 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and $146,909 and $255,518 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Such costs are included in operating expenses in the Statements of Income.
 
Income Taxes:
 
Deferred taxes are provided for by the liability method wherein deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and Related Implementation Issues” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits.
 
8

The Company’s policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the statements of income. Interest expense related to the underpayment of estimated taxes aggregated $652 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.  There were no penalties in 2008 and there was no interest or penalties in 2007.
 
Research and Development Expenses:
 
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $1,893,318 and $1,061,673, respectively.  Research and development expenses incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $785,428 and $631,067, respectively.
 
Stock-Based Compensation:
 
Prior to January 1, 2006 the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Options” and related interpretative guidance (“APB 25”). APB 25 generally did not require the recognition of stock-based compensation when options granted under stock-based compensation plans had exercise prices at least equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for 2006 and 2007 includes: (a) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) stock based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation granted after January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
 
The Company estimates the grant-date fair value of stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:
 
 
Expected term is determined using the contractual term and vesting period of the award;
 
 
Expected volatility of award grants made in the Company’s plan is measured using the weighted average of historical daily changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the award;
 
 
Expected dividend rate is determined based on expected dividends to be declared;
 
 
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and
 
 
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted and management’s analysis of potential forfeitures.
 
The stock warrants issued to investors in 2006 are not accounted for under SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” as the warrant agreements contain no provision for the Company to use any of its 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 the Company’s 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.”
 
Income per Share:
 
The Company accounts for income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised utilizing the treasury stock method.

Sales to customers outside of the United States are denominated in US dollars.  All Company assets are physically located within the United States.
 
Reclassifications:
 
Management has reviewed the classification of expenses as cost of sales or operating expenses as reported in the statement of income. As a result of this review, certain direct and indirect manufacturing- related expenses aggregating $246,272 and $597,187, previously reported as operating expenses in the statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, have been reclassified to cost of sales to be consistent with their classification adopted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. There was no effect on net income or income per share as a result of such expense reclassifications.
 
NOTE 2.         BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
 
The balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements.
 
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
NOTE 3.         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable. Sales are typically made on credit and the Company generally does not require collateral.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for estimated losses.  Uncollectible accounts are written off when deemed uncollectible and accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $30,000 and $28,224 as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
The Company sells primarily through a network of unaffiliated distributors/sales agents. In 2008, two distributor/agents exceeded 10% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. No other distributor/agent exceeded 10% in 2008 and no individual distributor/agent exceeded 10% in 2007. In addition, three individual customer receivable balances exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2008.  These three customers represented an aggregate balance of $3,943,372 or 67% of our total accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2008.
 
The Company currently purchases finished circuit boards and other proprietary component parts from suppliers located in the United States. Although the Company currently obtains certain of these components from single source suppliers, management believes it could obtain alternate suppliers in most cases without incurring significant production delays. The Company also purchases a proprietary audio component from a foreign vendor that could be more difficult to obtain alternate sources if there was a supply interruption. The Company has not experienced any significant supply disruptions from this foreign vender historically, and does not anticipate future supply disruptions, although no assurances can be offered in this regard.  The Company acquires most of its components on a purchase order basis and does not have long-term contracts with suppliers.
 
NOTE 4.         INVENTORIES
 
Inventories consisted of the following at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

NOTE 5.         PLEDGED ASSETS AND BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 
On February 13, 2008, the Company entered into a new credit facility with a bank that provides for borrowings on a revolving basis of up to $1,500,000. The line of credit is secured by eligible trade receivables, inventory and equipment and bears variable interest at the bank’s prime rate (5.00% at September 30, 2008) minus 0.50%, adjusted daily. The line of credit matures on February 13, 2009. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding and there were no borrowings under the credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
NOTE 6.         ACCRUED EXPENSES
 
Accrued expenses consisted of the following at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

NOTE 7.         INCOME TAXES
 
The Company received total proceeds of $2,914,538 and $165,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, from the exercise of stock purchase options and warrants.  During 2008, the Company realized an aggregate tax deduction approximating $6,989,813 relative to the exercise of such stock options and warrants. The related excess tax benefits aggregated $2,345,000, which has been allocated directly to additional paid in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company reduced the deferred tax valuation allowance by $2,153,143 and recognized a corresponding tax benefit in the statement of income.  This reduction in the valuation allowance was recorded based upon management’s expectation that the Company would be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the future in order to utilize the remaining net operating loss carryforwards.
 
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2008 was $165,000, which remained unchanged from December 31, 2007.
 
At December 31, 2007, the Company had available approximately $667,000 of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income generated by the Company. Such tax net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2024 and 2025. In addition, the Company had research and development tax credit carryforwards totaling $249,527 available as of December 31, 2007 which expire between 2023 and 2027. Management will continue to evaluate the likelihood of realizing the benefits of the net deferred tax assets (including the net operating tax loss and research and development credit carryforwards), and will adjust the valuation allowance accordingly.
 
11

The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions under Section 382 which limit the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards in the event that the Company has experienced a more than 50% change in ownership over a three-year period. Current estimates prepared by the Company indicate that due to ownership changes which have occurred, all of its net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards are currently subject to an annual limitation of approximately $1,151,000, but may be further limited by additional ownership changes which may occur in the future. As stated above, the net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards expire between 2023 and 2027, allowing the Company to utilize all of the limited net operating loss carry-forwards during the carryforward period.
 
The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are closed by relevant statute for all tax years prior to 2004.
 
NOTE 8.         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company has several non-cancelable operating lease agreements for equipment, office space and warehouse space. The agreements expire from October 2008 to October 2012.  Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $251,221 and $137,522, respectively, related to these leases. Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $79,711 and $65,904, respectively, related to these leases. The future minimum amounts due under the leases are as follows:
 
Year ending December 31:
     
2008 (October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008)
  $ 99,163  
2009
    397,332

    265,561  
2011
    169,086  
2012
    140,905  
    $ 1,072,047  
 
The Company has two license agreements under which it has been assigned the rights to certain licensed materials used in its products. Upfront license payments of $75,000 in March 2004 and $75,000 in May 2005 were made and expensed immediately. The terms of the agreements were for three years from the dates of such agreements, with automatic one year extensions thereafter, unless both parties agree otherwise in writing prior to the expiration dates of said agreements. The first license was automatically renewed in March 2007 under the applicable terms of the agreement. These license agreements require the Company to pay ongoing royalties based on the number of products shipped containing the licensed material on a quarterly basis. The Company prepaid $42,500 as ongoing royalty fees during April 2006 and again in July 2008 which was capitalized and included in prepaid expenses. The Company amortized the prepaid royalties based on the number of units shipped during the period. Amortization aggregated $28,645 and $12,920 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and $9,656 and  $5,334 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in cost of sales in the accompanying statement of income.
 
The Company has entered into a sublicense agreement whereby it has been assigned the rights to certain licensed materials used in its products. The effective date of the sublicense was October 12, 2007, with an original term expiring in October 2010, with automatic one-year renewals unless either party notifies the other in writing not less than 60 days prior to expiration. The Company paid an upfront license fee of $60,000 during January 2008, which was capitalized and will be amortized ratably over the term of the agreement. The sublicense also requires an ongoing royalty fee based on the number of units shipped on a quarterly basis. Shipments of product containing the licensed material are expected to commence in late 2008. Accordingly, there were no royalties paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
 
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 Company 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.

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 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 Digital Ally's current DVM-500 products infringe Mobile-Vision's patent. Based on technical disclosures and representations provided by Digital Ally 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 terms of the resolution are otherwise 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 complaint was also resolved and dismissed under the same terms described previously.
 
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 $26,045 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Each participant is 100% vested at all times in employee and employer matching contributions.

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 September 30, 2008.
 
NOTE 9.         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company recorded pretax compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and warrants issued of $1,106,258 and $1,294,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and $531,947 and $385,756 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had adopted four separate stock-based option plans: (i) the 2005 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), (ii) the 2006 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”), (iii) the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”), and (iv) the 2008 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”). These Plans permit the grant of share options to its employees, non-employee directors and others for up to an aggregate total of 6,500,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on the completion of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. These option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).
 
On January 2, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the 2008 Plan, which reserved 1,000,000 shares to be granted under such Plan. 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.  The 2008 Plan was approved by the shareholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in May 2008. The Company granted a total of 45,000 options outside of the 2008 Stock Option Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  In July 2008, the Company  registered all 6,500,000 shares of common stock that are issuable under its 2005 Plan, 2006 Plan, 2007 Plan and 2008 Plan.
 
In addition to the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans described above the Company has issued an aggregate of 430,000 stock options to non-employees for services rendered that are subject to the same general terms in the years before 2008.
 
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions used for the determining the grant-date fair value of options during each period and is reflected in the following table:

Basic income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, weighted-average outstanding stock options and warrants totaling 15,000 and 30,000 shares of common stock were antidilutive and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, a total of 379,750 of stock options and warrants was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive for 2007.

NOTE 11.        RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
On September 1, 2004, the Company borrowed $500,000 from a limited liability company controlled by one of the Company’s shareholders. None of the members or managers of such shareholder is or was an employee, officer or director of the Company. The note carried interest at 7%, was due on May 15, 2007 and was convertible into 500,000 shares of common stock at the option of the holder. The note was guaranteed by one of the Company’s previous officers and directors, who also pledged Company stock he owned as collateral. On May 15, 2007, the note holder exercised its option to convert the note into 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Interest expense related to this note totaled $12,945 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
On September 25, 2006, the Company granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of its common stock to a law firm for services rendered. The options had a term of five years and are exercisable at $2.15 per share. One of the Company’s outside directors was also a partner in such law firm. During 2007, the law firm was dissolved and the options were returned to the Company for cancellation.
 
 
The Company sells primarily through a network of unaffiliated distributors/sales agents. An entity that served as an independent sales agent is owned by the spouse of one of the Company’s executive officers. The Company paid commissions on sales generated by this sales agent aggregating $52,789 and $143,561 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of September 30, 2008 there were no accrued and unpaid commissions due to this entity. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, this entity was dissolved and no longer serves as an independent sales agent for the Company.
 
 
NOTE 12.                      RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS No. 160”). FAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. FAS No. 160 is effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 R “Business Combinations” (“FAS No. 141R”). FAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. FAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS No. 141R is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

Recent Developments for the Company
 
Overview
 
We produce digital video imaging, audio recording and related 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, each of which uses the core competency of our technology in digital video compression, recording and storage.  These products make self-contained video and audio recordings onto flash memory cards that are incorporated into 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 intend to produce and sell other digital video devices in the future.  Our products incorporate our standards-based digital compression capability that allows the recording of significant time periods on a chip and circuit board designed for small form products.
 
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, implementation of a business plan, establishment of 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 became a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on May 3, 2007.  Our common stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol DGLY on January 2, 2008.
 
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 condensed 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.

Revenue
 
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $8,451,270 and $5,100,525, respectively, an increase of $3,350,745 (66%), due to increased market penetration and significant growth in international orders. Many of our existing customers are making follow-on orders with larger quantities and we have enjoyed growth in orders from international customers.  Our international sales were $3,183,182 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, representing an increase of $2,934,362 (1,179%), compared to $248,820 for the three months ended September 30, 2007  Furthermore, we are converting a high percentage of opportunities with new customers to our product.  We are experiencing slow but continued growth in the sales of our digital video flashlight product during 2008.  We expect that our full year 2008 revenue will approximate $34 to $38 million due to continued market penetration on a domestic and international basis.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of sales on units sold for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $3,283,446 and $1,789,765, respectively, an increase of $1,493,681 (83%). The significant increase is due to the large increase in units sold, as well as an increase in our reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory of $88,240 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. We believe such reserves are appropriate given the rapid growth in revenues we have experienced, as well as increases in inventory levels.
 
Gross Margin
 
Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $5,167,824 and $3,310,760, respectively, an increase of $1,857,064 (56%). The significant increase is commensurate with the growth in revenues (66%) we have experienced during 2008 compared to 2007. The gross margin percentages were 61% and 65%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The slight decrease in margin was attributable to the fact that 38% of total revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2008 were comprised of international sales compared to 5% during the three months ended September 30, 2007.  International sales are generally made through international distributors at discounted prices yielding lower gross margins compared to sales to domestic customers.  The international distributor typically marks up the product to the end customer and retains the retail margin.  However, lower gross margins on international shipments are partially offset by lower operating expenses because we benefit from reduced commissions paid to sales agents on such international sales compared to domestic sales.  We believe that we have continued to improve productivity and efficiencies over 2007 as we have significantly increased production rates and made improvements in our component costs related to our supply chain. 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. If our revenue and production rates continue to increase as we anticipate, we expect to be able to improve our gross margins over 2007 by reducing our component and supply chain costs by ordering in larger quantities at better prices and by implementing further efficiencies in our production/assembly processes. We have not experienced significant retail pricing pressures from our domestic customers during 2008. Competition for larger contracts and larger customers may cause us to provide some pricing discounts to such customers for our product during 2008. We believe that we will continue to experience growth in our international orders and compete for larger customers under competitive bids during 2008 that may offset some of the expected efficiencies in our cost of product sold.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses were $3,798,436 and $2,496,197 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $1,302,239 (52%). Overall operating expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 45% in 2008 compared to 49% in 2007. A summary of the significant components of operating expenses are as follows:

    942,653       431,744  
Total
  $ 3,798,436     $ 2,496,197  
 
Research and Development Expenses.  We continue to focus on bringing new products and updates/revisions to current products to market with these expenses totaling $785,428 and $631,067 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $154,361 (24%).  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 2008 and 2009, as well as additional internal staff additions related to the same activities. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues have been 9% in 2008 and 12% in 2007. We have active research and development projects on several new products designed for the 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 2008, 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 $531,947 and $385,756 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $146,191 (38%). The increase in 2008 was primarily attributable to the timing of shareholder approval of 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.  No expense related to the 2008 Plan was recorded prior to approval by the shareholders.  As a result of the ratification by shareholders, we began amortization of stock compensation related to the 2008 Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2008.  We expect that total stock compensation expense for the full year 2008 to be similar to 2007.
 
 Sales Commissions. Sales commissions totaled $742,587 and $407,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $334,881 (82%). The increase in 2008 was commensurate with the 66% increase in revenue experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007.  Sales commissions as a percentage of total revenues were 9% during the three months ended September 30, 2008, a slight increase from the 8% experienced in 2007.
 
Professional fees and expenses. Professional fees and expenses totaled $237,191 and $102,587 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $134,604 (131%). Professional fees and expenses, which primarily include legal and accounting expenses, increased because of our increased needs after becoming a public 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 the three months ended September 30, 2008.   The L-3 Communications Mobile-Vision, Inc. litigation has been settled; however, the Dehuff litigation is still pending.
 
General and Administrative Salaries. General and administrative salaries totaled $558,630 and $537,337 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $21,293 (4%). The increase in 2008 was substantially less than the 63% increase in revenue experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007.  We have added administrative personnel during early 2008 in order to build the proper infrastructure for our current and planned growth in overall business activities during 2008 and beyond, but only added two administrative personnel during the three months ended September 30, 2008.  General and administrative salaries as a percentage of total revenues declined to 7% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 11% during 2007.
 
Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses totaled $942,653 and $431,744 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $510,909 (118%). The increase in 2008 was commensurate with the 66% increase in revenue experienced during the three months ended September 30, 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 to meet with potential institutional investors during the three months ended September 30, 2008, which did not occur in 2007. Other operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 11% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 9% during 2007.

Operating Income
 
For the reasons previously stated, our operating income was $1,369,388 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an improvement of $554,825 (66%) compared to our operating income of $814,563 during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Operating income as a percentage of revenues, or operating margins, remained constant at 17% in 2008 compared to 2007. We believe that operating income will continue to grow in 2008 if revenues and gross margins increase as we expect and that our operating margins should approximate 22% - 26% for 2008.
 
Financial Income (Expense)
 
Financial income (expense) improved to $22,221 in 2008 from $5,856 in 2007. Financial 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 $22,221 and $6,445 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $15,776 (245%).  The increase in interest income was a result of our accumulation of cash and cash equivalents during the fourth quarter of 2007 and first nine months of 2008, which resulted in higher levels of interest-earning cash balances during the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007.
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $-0- and $589 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of $589. 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 its right to exchange such promissory note for 500,000 shares of common stock during May 2007. We had no interest bearing debt outstanding as of September 30, 2008.
 
Income Before Income Tax Provision
 
As a result of the above, we reported income before income tax provision of $1,391,609 and $820,419 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an improvement of $571,190 (68%).
 
Income Tax Provision
 
Income tax provision was $518,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, with a tax benefit of $2,153,143 reported in 2007. We reduced the deferred tax valuation allowance related to net operating loss carryforwards during the third quarter of 2007, which resulted in the substantial income tax benefit reported for the quarter.  This reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance was recorded due to 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 the third quarter of 2007, we 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 three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded a provision for income taxes at an effective tax rate of 37%.  This effective tax rate is consistent with the annual rate anticipated for 2008.
 
Net Income
 
As a result of the above, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we reported net income of $873,609 and $2,973,562, respectively, a decrease of $2,099,953 (71%).  The decrease is directly the result of the substantial income tax benefit of $2,153,143 recorded in 2007 which did not reoccur in 2008.
 
Basic and Diluted Income per Share
 
The basic income per share was $0.06 and $0.21 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for the reasons previously noted. The diluted income per share was $0.05 and $0.18, 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.

Revenue
 
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $25,940,996 and $12,359,594, respectively, an increase of $13,581,402 (110%), due to increased market penetration, especially in the international market. Many of our existing domestic customers are making follow-on orders with larger quantities.  Furthermore, we are converting a high percentage of opportunities with new customers to our product.  Our international sales were $7,941,114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, representing an increase of $7,538,743 (1,874%), compared to $402,371 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  We are experiencing slow but continued growth in the sales of our digital video flashlight product during 2008.  We expect that our 2008 revenue will approximate $34 to $38 million due to continued market penetration on a domestic and international basis.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of sales on units sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $9,914,682 and $4,685,163, respectively, an increase of $5,229,519 (112%). The significant increase is due to the large increase in units sold, as well as an increase in our reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory of $175,575 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We believe such reserves are appropriate given the rapid growth in revenues we have experienced, as well as increases in inventory levels.
 
Gross Margin
 
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $16,026,314 and $7,674,431, respectively, an increase of $8,351,883 (109%). The significant increase is commensurate with the 110% growth in revenues we have experienced during 2008 compared to 2007. The gross margin percentage remained constant at 62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.  We believe the gross margin of 62% is indicative of improved margins in 2008 because of the significant percentage of international sales during 2008 compared to 2007.  International sales generally yield less gross margins compared to domestic sales. The improved margin is attributable to improved productivity and efficiencies as we have significantly increased production rates during 2008 and improved costs related to our supply chain. 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. If our revenue and production rates continue to increase as we anticipate, we expect to be able to improve our gross margins by reducing our component and supply chain costs by ordering in larger quantities at better prices and by implementing further efficiencies in our production processes. We have not experienced significant retail pricing pressures from our domestic customers during 2008. Our international sales have tended to be priced at discounted rates yielding lower gross margins because we are not required to provide certain follow-on technical support.  However, lower gross margins on international shipments are partially offset by lower operating expenses because we benefit from reduced commissions paid to sales agents on such international sales compared to domestic sales.  Competition for larger contracts and larger customers may cause us to provide some pricing discounts to such customers for our product during 2008. We believe that we will experience growth in our international orders and compete for larger customers under competitive bids during 2008 that may offset some of the expected efficiencies in our cost of product sold.
