The key solutions IMT provides to this market are mission-critical wireless video solutions for applications, including manned and unmanned aerial and ground systems, mobile and handheld receive systems and transmitters for concealed video surveillance. IMT’s products in this market are sold under the brand name IMT. 4 Vislink The Company originally announced the acquisition of Vislink on October 20, 2016 in a $16 million binding asset purchase agreement. On February 2, 2017, Vislink Technologies completed the acquisition of the net assets that constituted the business of Vislink pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and among the Company, Vislink PLC, an England and Wales registered limited company (the “Guarantor”), Vislink International Limited, an England and Wales registered limited liability company (the “U.K. Seller”), and Vislink Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Seller,” and together with the U.K. Seller, the “Sellers”), dated December 16, 2016, as amended on January 13, 2017.Vislink specializes in the wireless capture, delivery and management of secure, high-quality, live video from the field to the point of usage. Vislink designs and manufactures products encompassing microwave radio components, satellite communication, cellular and wireless camera systems, and associated amplifier items. Vislink serves two core markets: (i) broadcast & media and (ii) law enforcement, public safety and surveillance. In the broadcast and media market, Vislink provides broadcast communication links for the collection of live news and sports and entertainment events. Customers in this market include national broadcasters, multi-channel broadcasters, network owners and station groups, sports and live broadcasters and hosted service providers. In the law enforcement, public safety and surveillance market, Vislink provides secure video communications and mission-critical solutions for law enforcement, defense and homeland security applications. Its law enforcement, public safety and surveillance customers include metropolitan, regional and national law enforcement agencies, as well as domestic and international defense agencies and organizations. Across its core markets, Vislink is also a leading global manufacturer of satellite communication services, with solutions destined for use in both fixed installations and small, rapidly-deployable configurations. In 2017, we merged Vislink’s product offerings and operations with those of IMT into Vislink Technologies. We have completed the co- branding of IMT and Vislink, while still preserving the Vislink brand and its legacy brands, including Gigawave, Link, Advent and MRC, in markets where strong brand identification still exists. IMT has assumed the Vislink product warranties and support for all the Vislink and IMT product offerings. Vislink’s business in the Americas has become part of IMT, the legacy xG technology business was curtailed as part of the cost reduction initiatives. Cost Reduction Initiatives The Company completed a cost reduction plan announced in April 2018 that resulted in approximately $8.2 million in annual savings. Savings were realized through immediate cost reductions by eliminating certain personnel costs, associated benefits and reduction in facilities and other expenses. Specifically, the Company eliminated 65 full-time and contracted positions from the business, with salary and benefits savings totaling $7.3 million. The Company also removed $900,000 in non-labor costs from the business. The Company has also identified an additional $1.3 million in additional savings, primary related to facilities consolidation and severance. This includes consolidating the two sites in Colchester, U.K. into one, expected to be completed by April 2019 and the expected savings are approximately $0.5 million through June 2020. Although no assurance can be provided the Company will successfully consolidate these two locations. As part of cost cutting measures, the Company will not be renewing office or warehouse space it currently leases in Sunrise, Florida with the lease expiring May 13, 2019. 5 Our Strategy Our acquisitions of IMT and Vislink are now operating as brands of Vislink Technologies, Inc. After the completion of our cost reduction initiatives in 2018, the plan going forward is to diversify and grow the business in the following industries: broadcast and media, sports and entertainment and public safety, surveillance and defense. These industries allow us to offer a broad array of end-to-end, high-reliability, high-data rate, long-range wireless video transmission solutions. Our solutions are being used for applications in growing market segments, including in-game sports video mobile feeds, real-time capture and display of footage from drones and other aerial platforms, and rapid- response electronic news gathering operations. The key sector strategies for IMT and Vislink are to expand the various markets for existing miniature wireless video products, which include the educational sector, videographers, and video service providers, provide complete end-to-end solutions for the video surveillance market, and introduce complete end-to-end IP technology into the broadcast and media market. The acquisition of Vislink offered the Company the opportunity to realize synergies with its IMT business unit, while allowing both entities to offer an expanded suite of services and product offerings in the markets they are already active in. A key advantage is that there was limited overlap in product offerings, sales channels and market coverage between the two companies. For example, Vislink had a substantial client base in international markets where IMT has had a limited presence. In addition, IMT had a very strong product portfolio targeted to U.S. federal law enforcement and high-end sports broadcasting customers who now have access to additional solutions based on Vislink’s product configurations. Finally, Vislink has traditionally focused on licensed spectrum solutions where IMT has pioneered the use of non-licensed spectrum for many applications. Combining Vislink Technologies shared spectrum and interference mitigation intellectual property with an expanded IMT/Vislink product lineup may provide an opening into additional customer bases that currently do not have access to licensed spectrum. 6 Market Overview Our IMT and Vislink services and product offerings broadly address three markets: (1) broadcasting and media: (2) sports and entertainment; and (3) law enforcement/public safety, surveillance and defense. In addition, IMT and Vislink solutions may address new potential markets for potential growth, including the transportation, oil and gas and industrial sectors. The broadcasting and media market consists of electronic news gathering, wireless camera systems, portable microwave, and fixed point to point systems. The market looks to improve operational efficiencies in the gathering, production, and transmission of wireless content. Recent trends in the market include a movement towards IP connectivity over point to point links for infrastructure, high definition upgrades of remote news gathering vehicles, and continued pressure to reduce expenses by improving operational efficiencies. Customers within this market are major network TV stations, including over-the-air broadcasters and cable and satellite news providers, national broadcasters, multi-channel broadcasters, network owners and station groups, sports and live broadcasters and hosted service providers. IMT and Vislink focus on the specific ways these customers create and gather content wirelessly. As the wireless communications industry begins transitioning to fifth-generation (5G) networks, the increases in speed they will usher in are expected to augment the availability of on-demand live streaming, where IMT and Vislink equipment is already in use. The sports and entertainment market consists of key segments, including sports production, sports venue entertainment systems, movie director video assist, and the non-professional user segment. Generally, this market is focused on more agile wireless video systems. Drivers in this market include small, lightweight, easy to use equipment, low-latency video systems, reliability of the wireless links, and the ability to use licensed and unlicensed bands. Current trends within the market are to further reduce the size and improve agility of the wireless video systems as users are demanding higher link reliabilities at longer ranges. There is also an increased desire to provide audiences with new points of view and camera angles to enhance the viewing experience. Customers within this market are professional sports teams, movie production companies, live video production service providers, system integrators and a growing segment of drone and unmanned ground vehicle providers. Among the new subsections of the sports and entertainment market the Company has identified the burgeoning e-sports market as one where our solutions have applicability. The law enforcement, public safety and surveillance market consists of key segments including state and local law enforcement agencies, federal agencies and military system integrators. The market looks to improve the reliability and quality of video content without adding complexity. The video systems must be operated without technical intervention. State and local agencies benefit from Department of Homeland Security grant programs to improve overall security. Recent trends within these segments include improved interoperability within agencies, and demand for fully integrated systems including robust microwave combined with ubiquitous IP networks. As wireless video systems are becoming more reliable and easier to deploy, the adoption rate of wireless systems is increasing. Customers within this market include state police forces, sheriff’s departments, fire departments, first responders, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. 7 Our Products Through our IMT and Vislink businesses, we can offer a full spectrum of wireless video products which are built around providing complete solutions. Both companies have traditionally focused on the development of core product technologies that have the potential for application in final assembled products that cross market segments. Such technology focus areas include RF and microwave component development spanning the frequency range from DC to 18GHz, waveform modulation, H.264 video encoding and decoding, 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) camera systems, IP-based electronic newsgathering systems, and digital signal processing. Through these products, we are positioned with significant technology IP and an established reputation for rapidly and economically delivering complex, bespoke engineering products and solutions to customers that are expertly managed to tight deadlines. Production of these products can be rapidly scaled to respond to changes in market demand. IMT Products Broadcast: IMT offers a line of high-margin receiver products including the CRx2, CRx6 and CIRAS-X6. These products may be interconnected over IP networks, expanding and simplifying their overall use and reducing the deployment cost significantly. The MicroLite is a small, low-cost wireless camera system enabling broadcast news operators to eliminate the use of coaxial cables in their remote news operations. This significantly reduces labor costs in the operation and increases the speed and agility of the cameramen to focus on capturing engaging content. CRx2 Receiver CRx6 Receiver 8 Sports and Entertainment: The MicroLite 2 is a professional-grade wireless transmitter that is available in both licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, the latter enabling non-TV broadcasters to capture broadcast quality video without the cost and limitations of gaining a frequency license. The unlicensed market is very large and just being opened to high quality technologies CIRAS-X6 Receiver MicroLite 2 Government/Surveillance: IMT has focused on miniature transmitters and handheld receivers and benefits from limited competition in this area. The IMT DragonFly is designed to capture real-time, high-quality video from UAV/UGV/Body Cams/Concealments for display on fixed or mobile receive applications. The MiniMobile Commander and Mobile Commander are handheld receiver/monitors designed for tactical situations. The IMT Transport Stream Management System (TSM-2020), part of the comprehensive Airborne Video Downlink System used by law enforcement entities, extends critical situational video to an unlimited number of observers who can view the video over any network connection, including wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, IP satellite and IP cellular. IMT DragonFly MiniMobile Commander Receiver Monitor 9 Vislink Products Mobile Commander Receiver Monitor Vislink designs and manufactures products encompassing microwave radio components, satellite communication, cellular and wireless camera systems, and associated amplifier items. Vislink solutions include the following product categories: Vislink’s key product offerings include: ● HCAM, a 4K Ultra HD-capable on-camera wireless video transmitter; ● HDX-1100, a high-powered aircraft downlink transmitter; ● ViewBack, a lightweight, low power, low latency, dual channel diversity receiver-decoder that enables quicker production, more efficient editing, and more effective collaboration between camera operators and studio teams; ● SatWare, a high-performance embedded computing and routing system designed to provide enhanced capability and simplified use of broadcast equipment in the field; and ● AirPro-75, a compact, lightweight, single-button IP satellite data terminal designed for rapid deployment. HCAM HDX-1100 10 Competition and Competitive Positioning The primary competitors of IMT and Vislink are Domo Tactical Communications (formerly a division of Cobham), Silvus Technologies, Persistent Systems, Troll Systems and several smaller market- specific businesses. The union of IMT and Vislink created the market share leader in the professional broadcast and media video transmission sector. We believe that their products solve a growing market need for stable, high-definition, wireless video communications. Separately, IMT and Vislink have been able to successfully leverage their long history of broadcast industry leadership, reputations for advanced technology, and ability to provide end-to-end-solutions in order to maintain and increase their customer bases and to continue providing highly competitive offerings. Both companies have mature product offerings that address applications in growing market segments, including in- game sports video mobile feeds, real-time capture and display of footage from drones and other aerial platforms, and rapid-response electronic news gathering operations. With the business integrated, we believe these advantages have been further strengthened. Because there is currently minimal overlap in product offerings between IMT and Vislink, we believe we now offer an expanded range of product offerings, additional services and enhanced capabilities. We believe this expansion of product offerings will position us for continued growth in the broadcast and sports and entertainment markets, and we expect near term growth in the government/surveillance market. We also believe there are opportunities for growth in sectors that include transportation, oil and gas, and industrial. As we have realized full control of the production processes of IMT and Vislink, we expect to be able to realize improving margins, control over product quality and competitive agility. 11 Sales and Marketing Our sales team currently is comprised of sales managers responsible for defined regional areas, inside sales personnel, and business development representatives focused on targeted sectors and/or regions. They are supported by solution engineers trained in technical sales with a given market focus. This sales team is focused on supporting our current customers, as well as nurturing relationships with prospective customers in key domestic and international markets. For our IMT and Vislink brands, we employ a combination of sales channels, including direct-to-end customer sales, network group sales, reseller/integrators and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) sales channels in order to use the most efficient means of reaching customers depending on the market segment. Sales efforts are supported by marketing and public relations activities, digital and print marketing initiatives, the creation of support materials, and trade show and other event appearances. As of December 31, 2018, our business development, sales and marketing team consisted of 44 full-time employees or contractors. Customers Our IMT and Vislink entities have developed significant followings based on the reputation of their product offerings for performance, reliability and use of advanced technology. Both have developed diverse and stable customer bases for repeat product purchases from blue chip, tier-1 clients in the broadcasting and sports and entertainment markets, as well as among high-profile agencies and organizations in the surveillance (military and government) markets. Manufacturing and Suppliers We have historically retained contract manufacturers to manufacture, test, assure the quality of, and ship our products. With the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink, we have additional options for both internal and external manufacturing of products. This provides us the opportunity to develop optimal supply chains that are tailored to our needs on a per-product and per-solution basis. Going forward, we anticipate that we will focus on our core strengths, which are innovation and technology design and the development and creation and exploitation of our intellectual property. While we have integrated IMT and Vislink into our plan to build our products, we may continue to rely, particularly in the short term, on third party components and technology to build our products, as we procure components, subassemblies and products necessary for the manufacture of our products based upon our design, development and production needs. While components and supplies are generally available from a variety of sources, we currently depend on a single or limited number of suppliers for several components for our products. We rely on purchase orders rather than long-term contracts with our suppliers. We do not currently stockpile enough components to mitigate any potential supply disruption if we are required to re-engineer our products to use alternative components. 12 Intellectual Property We have developed a broad portfolio of intellectual property that covers wired and wireless communications systems. As of December 31, 2018, in the U.S., we have 51 patents granted, 1 patent application pending, 1 provisional application pending and 1 disclosure. Internationally, we have 23 patents granted no patent applications pending, and no Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications. Areas of our development activities that have culminated in filings and/or awarded patents include: ● Spatial Processing (MIMO); ● Self-Organizing Networks; ● RF Modulation; ● Compression (protocols, payload, signaling, etc.); ● Modulators/Demodulators; ● Antennas/Shielding; ● Wired and Wireless Networks; ● Media Access Control Protocols; ● Interference Mitigation; ● Cognition enabling over the air protocols (MAC layer); ● Wireless data compression; ● Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA); ● Quality of Service; and Quality of Service; and ● Digital Broadcasting over Microwave Links. We protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We control access to our proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and contractors, and confidentiality agreements with third parties. We also actively engage in monitoring activities with respect to infringing uses of our intellectual property by third parties. In addition to these contractual arrangements, we also rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, trademark, trade dress, domain name and patents to protect our products and other intellectual property. We typically own the copyright to our software code, as well as the brand or title name trademark under which our products are marketed. We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the United States and in locations outside the United States. Our registered trademarks in the United States include “xG” “IMT”, “Vislink”, the names of our products, among others. Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in the United States or other countries in which our products are sold or distributed. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be enough or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. In addition, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time-consuming. Any unauthorized disclosure or use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business, thereby harming our operating results. Companies in the mobile wireless communications technology and other industries may own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and may frequently request license agreements, threaten litigation or file suit against us based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We may face allegations by third parties, including our competitors and non-practicing entities, that we have infringed their trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights. As our business grows, we will likely face more claims of infringement. 13 Company Information Effective February 11, 2019, xG Technology, Inc. changed its name to Vislink Technologies, Inc.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 8 in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Overview Effective February 11, 2019, xG Technology, Inc. changed its name to Vislink Technologies, Inc. The overarching strategy of Vislink Technologies, Inc. (“Vislink Technologies”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is to design, develop and deliver advanced wireless communications solutions that provide customers in our target markets with enhanced levels of reliability, mobility, performance and efficiency in their business operations and missions. Vislink Technologies business lines include the main brands Integrated Microwave Technologies (“IMT”) and Vislink (“Vislink”). The Vislink Technologies name serves as the corporate umbrella for its current brands, as well as any new ones that might be added to its portfolio in the future. There is considerable brand interaction, owing to complementary market focus, compatible product and technology development roadmaps, and solution integration opportunities. IMT The IMT business develops, manufactures and sells microwave communications equipment utilizing COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. COFDM is a transmission technique that combines encoding technology with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation to provide the low latency and high image clarity required for real-time live broadcasting video transmissions. IMT has extensive experience in ultra-compact COFDM wireless technology, which has allowed IMT to develop integrated solutions over the past 20 years that deliver reliable video footage captured from both aerial and ground-based sources to fixed and mobile receiver locations. IMT provides product and service solutions marketed under the well-established brand names Nucomm, RF Central and IMT. Its video transmission products primarily address three major market areas: broadcasting, sports and entertainment, and surveillance (for military and government). The broadcasting market consists of electronic news gathering, wireless camera systems, portable microwave, and fixed point to point systems. Customers within this market are blue-chip, tier-1 major network TV stations that include over-the-air broadcasters and cable and satellite news providers. For this market, IMT designs, develops and markets solutions for use in news helicopters, ground-based news vehicles, camera operations, central receive sites, remote onsite and studio newscasts and live television events. In this market, IMT’s Nucomm line is recognized as a premium brand of digital broadcast microwave video systems. The sports and entertainment market consists of key segments, including sports production, sports venue entertainment systems, movie director video assist, and the non-professional user segment. Generally, this market is focused on more agile wireless video systems. Drivers in this market include small, lightweight, easy to use equipment, low-latency video systems, reliability of the wireless links, and the ability to use licensed and unlicensed bands. Current trends within the market are to further reduce the size and improve agility of the wireless video systems as users are demanding higher link reliabilities at longer ranges. There is also an increased desire to provide audiences with new points of view and camera angles to enhance the viewing experience. Customers within this market are professional sports teams, movie production companies, live video production service providers, system integrators and a growing segment of drone and unmanned ground vehicle providers. Among the new subsections of the sports and entertainment market, the Company has identified the burgeoning e-sports market as one where our solutions have applicability. The government/surveillance market consists of key segments that include state and local law enforcement agencies, federal agencies and military system integrators. Customers within the government/surveillance market include recognizable state police forces, sheriff’s departments, fire departments, first responders, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. The key solutions IMT provides to this market are mission-critical wireless video solutions for applications, including manned and unmanned aerial and ground systems, mobile and handheld receive systems and transmitters for concealed video surveillance. IMT’s products in this market are sold under the brand name IMT. 17 Vislink The Company originally announced the acquisition of Vislink on October 20, 2016 in a $16 million binding asset purchase agreement. On February 2, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the net assets that constituted the business of Vislink, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and among the Company, Vislink PLC, an England and Wales registered limited company, Vislink International Limited, an England and Wales registered limited liability company, and Vislink Inc., a Delaware corporation, dated December 16, 2016, as amended on January 13, 2017. Vislink specializes in the wireless capture, delivery and management of secure, high-quality, live video from the field to the point of usage. Vislink designs and manufactures products encompassing microwave radio components, satellite communication, cellular and wireless camera systems, and associated amplifier items. Vislink serves two core markets: (i) broadcast and media and (ii) law enforcement, public safety and surveillance. In the broadcast and media market, Vislink provides broadcast communication links for the collection of live news and sports and entertainment events. Customers in this market include national broadcasters, multi-channel broadcasters, network owners and station groups, sports and live broadcasters and hosted service providers. In the law enforcement, public safety and surveillance market, Vislink provides secure video communications and mission-critical solutions for law enforcement, defense and homeland security applications. Its law enforcement, public safety and surveillance customers include metropolitan, regional and national law enforcement agencies, as well as domestic and international defense agencies and organizations. In 2017, we merged Vislink’s product offerings and operations with those of IMT into Vislink Technologies. We have completed the co- branding of IMT and Vislink, while still preserving the Vislink brand and its legacy brands, including Gigawave, Link, Advent and MRC, in markets where strong brand identification still exists. IMT has assumed the Vislink product warranties and support for all the Vislink and IMT product offerings. Vislink’s business in the Americas has become part of IMT, while its business in the rest of the world is operated by Vislink’s U.K. operation. 18 Results of Operations The following table sets forth the items contained in the consolidated statements of operations of the financial statements included herewith for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017. VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS (IN THOUSANDS) Revenue Cost of revenue and operating expenses Cost of components and personnel Inventory valuation adjustments General and administrative expenses Research and development Impairment charge Amortization and depreciation Total cost of revenue and operating expenses Loss from operations Other (expenses) income Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities Gain on bargain purchase (Loss) gain on debt and payable extinguishment Other income (expense) Interest expense Total other (expenses) income Net loss Revenue For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 $ 38,294 $ 47,824 19,192 473 21,817 7,873 413 2,953 52,721 (14,427) 3,186 — (1,060) 146 (2,718) (446) (14,873) $ 28,220 1,781 27,015 9,799 — 4,398 71,213 (23,389) 105 10,911 2,900 (251) (629) 13,036 (10,353) $ Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $38.3 million compared to $47.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $9.5 million or 20%. The decrease can be attributed to one-time sales being recorded in the second quarter of 2017 which included a $2.4 million government sale in South America to upgrade their systems from analog to digital. The Company experienced a decline in revenue for the North American, Europe, Asia and rest of world markets in the amount of approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Part of the decrease in sales was the result of the cost reduction programs implemented in the second through fourth quarters of 2018 which led to specific actions to also rationalize our best revenue opportunities and eliminate low value sales. Efforts were also focused on relieving supply chain shortages in order to be able to deliver backorders to customers on a timely basis. 19 Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses Cost of Components and Personnel Cost of components and personnel for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $19.2 million compared to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $9.0 million or 32%. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in revenue resulting in less cost of components. However, we did have increased margins on revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 as the inclusion of the amortization of “Inventory Step-Up” generated by the fair value assessed by third-party appraisals associated with the acquisition of IMT and Vislink was included in cost of components for the year ended December 31, 2017 and fully amortized by the end of fiscal year 2018. The assigned fair value associated with our business acquisitions have been amortized and included in cost of components and personnel in the amounts $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Inventory Valuation Adjustments Inventory valuation adjustments consist primarily of items that are written off due to obsolescence or written down to their net realizable value. Inventory valuation adjustments decreased by $1.3 million or 72%, from $1.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2017 to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a diminutive write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses are the expenses of operating the business daily and include salary and benefit expenses including stock-based compensation and payroll taxes, as well as the costs of trade shows, marketing programs, promotional materials, professional services, facilities, general liability insurance, and travel. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $21.8 million compared to $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $5.2 million or 19%. The decrease of $5.2 million is primarily due the cost cutting efforts employed in fiscal year 2018 leading to decreases of $1.5 million in fees related to prior year business acquisitions; $0.9 million in consulting fees; $0.6 million in salary and benefits; $0.5 million in legal fees, $0.4 in warranty costs; $0.3 million in insurance; $0.3 million in freight and postage; and $0.2 million each in rent, commissions, and advertising. The decreases were partially offset by increases of $0.7 million in stock based compensation largely associated with the expense of stock options granted and acceleration of the vesting of options of terminated employees; and $0.2 million each in foreign exchanges losses and telephone costs. The Company expects future general and administrative costs to decline going forward as a result of the cost cutting measures implemented throughout 2018. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefit expenses including stock-based compensation and payroll taxes, as well as costs for prototypes, facilities and travel. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $7.9 million compared to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $1.9 million or 19%. The decrease of $1.9 million is primarily due to decreases of $2.6 million of salaries and benefits; $0.2 million of miscellaneous research costs; and $0.1 million each for legal fees, rent, telephone and travel costs. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in stock based compensation largely associated with the expense of stock options granted and acceleration of the vesting of options of terminated employees. The Company expects future research and development costs to decline going forward as a result of the cost cutting measures implemented throughout fiscal year 2018. 20 Impairment Impairments related to the long-lived assets or amortized intangible assets were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018 in the amount of $0.4 million. The Company recorded these impairment charges relating to the remaining balance of xMax software development costs in association with the discontinuance of the xMax division during fiscal year 2018. No impairment related to long-lived assets or amortized intangible assets were recorded during fiscal year 2017. Amortization and Depreciation Amortization and depreciation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $3.0 million compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $1.4 million or 32%. The decrease of $1.4 million is primarily due to the reduction of amortizable and depreciable assets as the Company impaired a significant amount of these assets over the past two fiscal years. Other (Expense) Income The changes in fair value of derivative liabilities increased by $3.1 million gain, or 3100%, from a $0.1 million gain in the year ended December 31, 2017 to a $3.2 million gain in the year ended December 31, 2018. This is due to the decrease in our common stock price in fiscal year 2018 as compared to fiscal year 2017 that resulted in an unrealized gain in the fair value of the derivative liabilities. The gain on bargain purchase of $10.9 million in 2017 was not a recurring financial statement item as the Company did not experience a business acquisition during fiscal year 2018. The loss on debt and payables extinguishments was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to a gain on debt and payable extinguishment of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $4.0 million or 138%. The 2018 loss on debt and payables extinguishments of $1.1 was due to the terms of the December 3, 2018 debt modification of the May 2018 financing. Other income increased to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to other expense of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $0.4 million or 133%. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2.7 million compared to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $2.1 million or 350%. The increase is attributable to the Company recognizing interest expense for the amortization of debt discount and the recognition of the stated coupon rate of interest for new debt instruments incurred during fiscal year 2018. Vislink Bargain Purchase The Company utilized the services of an independent appraisal company to assist it in assessing the fair value of the Vislink assets and liabilities acquired. This assessment included an evaluation of the fair value of inventory, fixed assets and the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based upon the expected cash flows from the assets acquired. Additionally, the Company incorporated the carrying value of the remaining working capital, as Vislink’s management represented that the carrying value of these assets and liabilities served as a reasonable proxy for fair value. The valuation process included discussion with management regarding the history and business operations of Vislink, a study of the economic and industry conditions in which Vislink competes and an analysis of the historical and projected financial statements and other records and documents. When it became apparent there was a potential for a bargain purchase gain, management reviewed the Vislink assets and liabilities acquired and the assumptions utilized in estimating their fair values. The Company determined that provisional amounts, previously recognized, required adjustments to reflect new information obtained. According to ASC 805-10-25-15, the Company has a period of time, referred to as the measurement period, to finalize the accounting for a business combination. Upon additional review of identifying and valuing all assets and liabilities of the business, the Company concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain with respect to Vislink was appropriate and required under GAAP. The Company then undertook a review to determine what factors might contribute to a reasonable conclusion of recognizing the recording of a bargain purchase. Factors that contributed to the conclusion to recognize a bargain purchase price were: ● The Vislink acquisition was completed with motivated Sellers who had a public strategy to concentrate on growing their software business as opposed to their technology and hardware businesses. As a strategic decision, the Sellers intended to sell off the assets of the hardware business. ● The announcement of the U.K. leaving the European Union led to a decline in the pound, which led to pressure by Vislink’s creditors to raise funds. The owners of Vislink were motivated to complete a transaction in order to use the proceeds to reduce the line of credit they owed to the bank. ● The industry in 2015 and 2016 experienced a downturn as decreased spending combined with economic uncertainty caused corporations to delay wireless and broadcast infrastructure upgrades. The Sellers believed these trends would continue. According to IBISWorld, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualized rate of 0.6% over the next five years reflecting further deterioration in the industry. As a result, the Sellers decided to sell the business. ● Prior to the U.K. leaving the European Union, Vislink was under contract to be sold for a much higher price. The Company took advantage of the economic and industry downturn to negotiate a favorable price which was less than the value of the assets acquired for a total purchase consideration of $16 million. Based upon these factors, the Company concluded that the occurrence of a bargain purchase was reasonable. Net Loss For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $14.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $4.6 million or 44.23%. The increase in the loss of $4.6 million is primarily attributable to the recognition of bargain purchase gain in fiscal year 2017; an increase in loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of a debt modification in fiscal year 2018; an increase in interest expense due to the Company’s issuance of new convertible promissory notes during fiscal year 2018. The increase was offset by a gain in fair value of derivatives precipitated by the reduction of the Company’s market value of common stock during fiscal year 2018; and an increase in the gain on sale of property and equipment disposed by the Company during fiscal year 2018. 21 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cost Reduction Initiatives The Company completed a cost reduction plan announced in April 2018 that resulted in approximately $8.2 million in annual savings. Savings were realized through immediate cost reductions by eliminating certain personnel costs, associated benefits and reduction in facilities and other expenses. Specifically, the Company eliminated 65 full-time and contracted positions from the business, with salary and benefits savings totaling $7.3 million. The Company also removed $900,000 in non-labor costs from the business. The Company has also identified an additional $1.3 million in additional savings, primary related to facilities consolidation and severance. This includes consolidating the two sites in Colchester, U.K. into one, expected to be completed by April, 2019 and the expected savings are approximately $0.5 million through June 2020. Although no assurance can be provided the Company will successfully consolidate these two locations. As part of cost cutting measures, the Company will not be renewing office or warehouse space it currently leases in Sunrise, Florida with the lease expiring May 13, 2019. Our operations primarily have been funded through cash generated by debt and equity financing. Cash consists of cash on hand and demand deposits. Our cash balances were as follows (in thousands): Cash Cash Flows December 31, 2018 2,005 2017 2,799 The following table sets forth the major components of our consolidated statements of cash flows data for the periods presented (in thousands). Net cash used in operating activities Net cash provided (used) in investment activities Net cash provided by financing activities Effect of exchange rate changes on cash Net decrease in cash Operating Activities Year Ended December 31, 2018 Year Ended December 31, 2017 $ $ (6,379) 181 5,435 (31) (794) $ $ (4,485) (6,874) 5,041 63 (6,255) Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $6.4 million as compared to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $1.9 million or 42.22%. The increase of $1.9 million is attributable to an increase in net loss of $4.5 million; a decrease of $6.4 million in accounts payable; an increase of $3.1 million in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities; a decrease of $1.8 million in due to related parties; a decrease of $1.5 million of accrued expense and interest expense; a decrease of $1.2 million of inventory; a decrease of $1.4 million of depreciation and amortization; a decrease of $1.3 million of inventory valuation adjustments; a decrease of $1.2 million of stock-based compensation payroll and consultants; a decrease of $0.7 million of prepaid expenses and other current assets; a decrease of $0.4 million of guaranteed interest and debt issuance costs; a decrease of $0.3 million of a line of credit commitment fee; a decrease of $0.2 million each for stock issuance commitments and provision for bad debts, respectively; and an increase of $0.1 million for the gain on sale of property and equipment. These changes were offset by the $10.9 million decrease of gain on bargain purchase; a $2.9 million decrease in the gain on debt and payables extinguishment; a $2.9 million increase in accounts receivable; an increase of $2.3 million of non-cash interest costs; an increase of $1.5 million in stock-based compensation option awards; an increase of $1.1 million in the loss of extinguishment of debt; a $0.6 million in deferred revenue and customer deposits; and an increase of $0.4 million of impairment charge. Investing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $0.2 million compared $6.9 million net cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $7.10 million or 102.9%. The increase of $7.1 million was attributable to the increase $0.3 million of proceeds from the sale of a property and equipment; the decrease of $0.3 million for cash disbursed the acquisition for property and equipment in fiscal 2017; and a decrease of $6.5 million in connection with the acquisition of Vislink. Financing Activities Our net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018, was $5.4 million. The $5.4 million in 2018 primarily consisted of net proceeds of $5.6 million from the issuance of convertible promissory notes. This amount was offset by the principal payments made towards capital lease obligations and convertible promissory notes in the amounts of $0.05 million and $0.08 million, respectively. Our net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017, was $5.0 million as compared to $16.8 million for 2016. The $5.0 million in 2017 primarily consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants in two underwritten public offerings in February 2017 and August 2017 in addition to the exercise of warrants totaling $7.9 million. This amount was offset by the Company's repayment of $2.0 million in principal regarding notes issued as part of the acquisition of Vislink and $0.9 million of other convertible promissory notes. Our cash used in financing activities would have been more significant if it were not for the exchange of the debt outstanding to the Sellers of Vislink for the accrued expenses we assumed. 22 Going Concern and Liquidity Under ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had $2.0 million in cash on the balance sheet at December 31, 2018. The Company had working capital and an accumulated deficit of $9.4 million and $234.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company had a loss from operations in the amount of $14.4 million and cash used in operating activities of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations through realization of assets, and the settling of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company completed a cost reduction plan announced in April 2018 that resulted in approximately $8.2 million in annual savings. Savings were realized through immediate cost reductions affecting the xMax division by eliminating certain personnel costs, associated benefits and reduction in facilities and other expenses. The Company has also identified an additional $1.3 million in additional savings, primary related to facilities consolidation and severance. The Company believes it can raise additional working capital through equity or debt offerings; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be successful in such capital raising efforts. On May 29, 2018, the Company completed a private placement of $4 million in principal amount of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, by executing certain agreements with accredited institutional investors. During the months of October 2018 and December 2018, the Company negotiated modifications of the terms of such private placement with a majority of the accredited institutional investors, whereby the Company at its option can satisfy these obligations with shares of common stock. With the proceeds of the May 2018 financing, as amended, along with the significant cost reductions, management believes substantial doubt has been mitigated. The Company believes it will have sufficient working capital to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services. If the Company is unable to close on some of its revenue producing opportunities in the near term, the carrying value of its assets may be materially impacted. Nasdaq Compliance On May 17, 2018 the Company, received a written notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) as Company’s closing bid price was below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was granted a 180-day compliance period, or until November 13, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements. During the compliance period, the Company’s shares of common stock will continue to be listed and traded on NASDAQ. The Company was afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period by NASDAQ to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements. If the Company does not regain compliance by May 13, 2019, NASDAQ will provide notice that the Company’s shares of common stock will be subject to delisting. 23 Financings May 2018 Private Placement and Subsequent Amendments General On May 30, 2018, the Company completed a private placement (the “May Private Placement”) of $4 million in principal amount of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Original May Debentures”) and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “May Warrants”) with certain institutional investors (the “May Investors”). The Original May Debentures and May Warrants were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 29, 2018 (the “May Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the May Investors. The May Private Placement resulted in gross proceeds of $4 million before fees and other expenses associated with the transaction. The proceeds will be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, dated May 29, 2018 (the “May Security Agreement”), by and among the Company, its subsidiaries, and the May Investors, the Company’s obligations under the Original May Debentures and the subsidiary companies’ obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee, dated May 29, 2018 (the “May Subsidiary Guarantee”), executed by such subsidiaries, are secured by all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary companies, including without limitation, all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all trademarks, patents and copyrights and applications and licenses therefore and products and proceeds thereof.

Such registration statement was filed with the SEC on Form S-1 (File No. 333-225975). On October 11, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a majority of the May Investors (the “Majority Investors”) to modify the Original May Debentures by issuing amended and restated debentures (the “First Amended May Debentures”) to the Majority Investors (the “October 2018 Amendments”). In connection with the October 2018 Amendments, the Company issued to the Majority Investors an aggregate of 302,655 shares of Common Stock as compensatory shares (the “Compensatory Shares”). On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with the Majority Investors to modify the First Amended May Debentures by issuing the second amended and restated debentures (the “Second Amended May Debentures”; and together with the Original May Debentures and the First Amended May Debentures, the “May Debentures”) to the Majority Investors. The May Warrants are exercisable to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock commencing on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The May Warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of their date of issuance. The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners served as the placement agent for the Company (“AGP” or the “Placement Agent”). The Placement Agent received warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “Placement Agent Exercise Price”). The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of their date of issuance. The Placement Agent Exercise Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes Description of the Second Amended May Debentures The Second Amended May Debentures contain a five percent (5%) original issue discount to the principal amounts contained therein. Prior to the May Debentures Maturity Date (as defined below), the Second Amended May Debentures bear interest at 10% per annum, with 12 months interest guaranteed. Interest shall be paid quarterly in cash on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 beginning on the first such date after the issuance of the Second Amended May Debentures, on each Conversion Date (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures), on each redemption date (as set forth in the Second Amended May Debentures), and on the May Debentures Maturity Date (as defined below). The Second Amended May Debentures rank senior to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and are secured to the extent and as provided in the May Security Agreement and the May Subsidiary Guarantee. 24 The Second Amended May Debentures are convertible at any time after their date of issuance at the option of the Majority Investors into shares of Common Stock at $0.45 per share (the “May Conversion Price”). The Second Amended May Debentures mature on September 30, 2019 (the “May Debentures Maturity Date”). Commencing on December 1, 2018, and continuing for each fiscal month thereafter through the May Debentures Maturity Date, the Company will make payments of principal and interest as Monthly Redemptions (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures) to the Majority Investors in order to fully amortize the Second Amended May Debentures. The May Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for Events of Default (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures) and upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. At any time after issuance of the Second Amended May Debentures, and subject to the certain Equity Conditions (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures) the Company may redeem any portion of the principal amount of the Second Amended May Debentures, any accrued and unpaid, and any other amounts due under the Second Amended May Debentures. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Second Amended May Debentures, the Company will pay to the Majority Investors an amount in cash equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the Second Amended May Debentures and guaranteed interest as follows: (i) from the initial issuance date of the Second Amended May Debentures to the day prior to the 181-day anniversary of the issuance of the Second Amended May Debentures, a 110% premium; and (ii) from the 181-day anniversary of the issuance of the Second Amended May Debentures to the May Debentures Maturity Date, a 115% premium. The Majority Investors may continue to convert the Second Amended May Debentures until the Optional Redemption Payment (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures) is paid. At any time after issuance of the Second Amended May Debentures, in the event that the Company consummates a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures), the Company must make a mandatory redemption in full of the Second Amended May Debentures, in cash, to the Majority Investors at the same premiums described with respect to the Optional Redemption (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures). Until the 60-day anniversary of the issuance of the Second Amended May Debentures, the Company may not consummate a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures). So long as the Second Amended May Debentures are outstanding, the Company is prohibited from entering into any Variable Rate Transactions (as defined in the Second Amended May Debentures). The conversion of the Second Amended May Debentures are subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that a Majority Investor may not convert a Second Amended May Debenture to the extent that such conversion would result in the Majority Investor being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of such Majority Investor, 9.99%), which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company. Additionally, the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock underlying the Second Amended May Debentures equal to more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 29, 2018, without stockholder approval. The principal differences between the Original May Debentures that are still held by the May Investors who are not the Majority Investors, and the Second Amended Debentures held by the Majority Investors are as follows: 1. The conversion price of the Original May Debentures is $1.00 per share; 2. The foregoing conversion price is not modified upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Original May Debentures), except for the passing of the Maturity Date (as defined in the Original May Debentures); 3. There is no floor price of $0.20 contained in the Original May Debentures; 4. Certain negative covenants were added to the Second Amended Debentures; 5. There is no retroactive original issue discount contained in the Original May Debentures; 6. Interest is six percent (6%) under the Original May Debentures and is not guaranteed; 7. The Monthly Redemptions (as defined in the Original May Debentures) may only be paid in cash; 8. The commencement of the Monthly Redemptions (as defined in the Original May Debentures) is September 29, 2018; 9. Certain sections related to the other forms of redemptions were modified in the Second Amended May Debentures; and 10. Certain sections related to the equity conditions and events of default were modified in the Second Amended May Debentures. 25 December 2018 Private Placement On December 3, 2018, the Company complete a private placement (the “December Private Placement”) of up to $3.5 million in principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “December Debentures”). The December Debentures were issued pursuant to a Securities December Purchase Agreement, dated December 3, 2018 (the “December Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Majority Investors. The initial closing of the December Private Placement resulted in gross proceeds of $2 million before fees and other expenses associated with the transaction. The proceeds will be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. The December Debentures contain a five percent (5%) original issue discount to the principal amounts contained therein. Prior to the December Debentures Maturity Date (as defined below), the December Debentures bear interest at 10% per annum, with 12 months interest guaranteed. Interest shall be paid quarterly in cash on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 beginning on the first such date after the issuance of the December Debentures, on each Conversion Date (as defined in the December Debentures), on each redemption date (as set forth in the December Debentures), and on the December Debentures Maturity Date (as defined below). The December Debentures rank senior to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness (except with respect to the Second Amended May Debentures) and are secured to the extent and as provided in that certain Security Agreement, dated December 3, 2018 (the “December Security Agreement”), by and among the Company, its subsidiaries, and the Majority Investors, and that certain Subsidiary Guarantee, dated December 3, 2018 (the “December Subsidiary Guarantee”), executed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The December Debentures are convertible at any time after their date of issuance at the option of the Majority Investors into shares of Common Stock at $0.45 per share (the “December Conversion Price”). The December Debentures mature on September 30, 2019 (the “December Debentures Maturity Date”). Commencing on February 1, 2019 and continuing for each fiscal month thereafter through the December Debentures Maturity Date, the Company will make payments of principal and interest as Monthly Redemptions (as defined in the December Debentures) to the Majority Investors in order to fully amortize the December Debentures. The December Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for Events of Default (as defined in the December Debentures) and upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. At any time after issuance of the December Debentures, and subject to the certain Equity Conditions (as defined in the December Debentures) the Company may redeem any portion of the principal amount of the December Debentures, any accrued and unpaid, and any other amounts due under the December Debentures. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the December Debentures, the Company will pay to the Majority Investors an amount in cash equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of the December Debentures and guaranteed interest as follows: (i) from the initial issuance date of the Debentures to the day prior to the 181-day anniversary of the issuance of the December Debentures, a 110% premium; and (ii) from the 181-day anniversary of the issuance of the December Debentures to the December Debentures Maturity Date, a 115% premium. The Majority Investors may continue to convert the December Debentures until the Optional Redemption Payment (as defined in the December Debentures) is paid. At any time after issuance of the December Debentures, in the event that the Company consummates a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the December Debentures), the Company must make a mandatory redemption in full of the December Debentures, in cash, to the Majority Investors at the same premiums described with respect to the Optional Redemption (as defined in the December Debentures). Until the 90-day anniversary of the issuance of the December Debentures, the Company may not consummate a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the December Debentures). So long as the December Debentures are outstanding, the Company is prohibited from entering into any Variable Rate Transactions (as defined in the December Debentures). The conversion of the December Debentures are subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that a Majority Investor may not convert a December Debenture to the extent that such conversion would result in the Majority Investor being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of such Majority Investor, 9.99%), which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company. Additionally, the Company may not issue (i) shares of Common Stock underlying the (a) Original May Debentures (as applicable), (b) the May Warrants, (c) the Placement Agent Warrants, (d) the Second Amended May Debentures, (e) the December Debentures, and (ii) the Compensatory Shares, in the aggregate, equal to more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 29, 2018, without stockholder approval. Pursuant to the terms of the December Security Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the December Debentures and the subsidiary companies’ obligations under the December Subsidiary Guarantee, are secured by all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary companies, including without limitation all right, title and interest of the Company in and to all trademarks, patents and copyrights and applications and licenses therefore and products and proceeds thereof. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 3, 2018 (the “December Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Majority Investors, the Company was required within ten (10) days of the initial closing date to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other applicable registration statement under the Securities Act) covering the resale of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the December Debentures. Such registration statement was filed with the SEC on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 228793). In connection with the foregoing, the Company obtained from the Majority Investors, Voting Agreements, dated December 3, 2018 (each, a “December Voting Agreement”), whereby the Majority Investors agree to vote all shares of Common Stock over which they have voting control in favor of any resolution presented to the stockholders of the Company to approve the issuance, in the aggregate, of more than 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on May 29, 2018. 26 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted and Not Yet Adopted In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act was enacted in the United States. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company,” or EGC, can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. In addition, pursuant to guidance issued by the SEC on December 1, 2017 in Section 10230.1(f) of the Division of Corporation Finance Financial Reporting Manual regarding the adoption of new accounting standards for emerging growth companies, “if an EGC loses its status after it would have had to adopt a standard absent the extended transition, the issuer should adopt the standard in its next filing after losing status.” We have irrevocably elected to use this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for private companies and emerging growth companies. Effective January 1, 2019 the Company’s EGC status expired. Adopted on January 1, 2019 In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the entitled consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the customer contracts. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has been able to defer adoption to January 1, 2019, under the emerging growth company (“EGC”) status that expired on December 31, 2018. Upon the loss of EGC status, an issuer is required to adopt the standard in its next filing. This accounting standard becomes effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods thereafter, specifically the first quarter of 2019. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The Company will adopt ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. Under the modified retrospective transition method, an entity compares the revenue recognized from contract inception up to the date of initial application to the amount that would have been recognized if it had applied ASC 606 since contract inception. The difference between those two amounts would be accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment and recognized on the date of initial application. The Company has completed its assessment of the new standard, including a review of the Company’s revenue streams to identify potential differences in accounting because of the new standard. This evaluation has influenced the Company to conclude that the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact and will not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment will is expected. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. As a lessor and lessee, we do not anticipate the classification of our leases to change, but we expect to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially virtually all our operating lease commitments leases for which we are the lessee as a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset on consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for lessors remains largely unchanged from existing guidance. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019. We expect to adopt the new standard on its effective date. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. 27 The new standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of- hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. We expect that this standard will have a material effect on our financial statements. While we continue to assess all the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our real estate operating leases. On adoption, the Company expects recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities pertaining to its operating leases on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases of real estate. New Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic) 808: Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. The amendments in the update affect all entities that have collaborative arrangements. The amendments to this update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements as follows: Clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. Add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606. Require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity may not adopt the amendments earlier than its adoption date of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual period that includes the date of the entity’s initial application of Topic 606. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively either to all contracts or only to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should disclose its election. An entity may elect to apply the practical expedient for contract modifications that is permitted for entities using the modified retrospective transition method in Topic 606. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact to our consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. The amendments to this update affect reporting entities that are required to determine whether they should consolidate a legal entity under the guidance within the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10. For entities other than private companies, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update are effective for a private company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earlies period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASC 2017-17 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity of our related financial statement disclosures. Other recent accounting standards issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements. 28 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified our critical accounting estimates which are discussed below. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP include the accounts of Vislink Technologies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IMT and Vislink, since the date the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink were completed. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s decision-making group is the senior executive management team. The Company and the decision-making group view the Company’s operations and manage its business as one operating segment. All long-lived assets of the Company reside in the U.S. and U.K. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgements regarding its customer’s ability to make required payments, prevailing economic conditions, past experience and other factors. As the financial condition of these factors change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses and such losses have been within the Company’s expectations. Intangible Assets Software: The Company capitalizes certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use or sale to others when both the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the software will be used as intended with a product. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining computer software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the product. Capitalized software costs are included in intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and amortized on a straight- line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software, which approximates 5 years. Software amortization totaled $268,000 and $923,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a result of the closing of the XG division, the Company recording an impairment charge in the amount of $168,000 and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Patents and licenses: Patents and licenses, measured initially at purchase cost, are included in intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 18.5 to 20 years. Amortization totaled $664,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other intangible assets: The Company’s remaining intangible assets include the trade names, technology and customer lists acquired in its acquisition of IMT and Vislink. The value of these acquired assets was determined by a third-party appraisal completed for these business combinations. Absent an indication of fair value from a potential buyer or similar specific transactions, the Company believes that the use of the methods employed provided a reasonable estimate in the reporting of the fair value assigned. The Company includes these costs in intangible assets on the balance sheet and are amortized over their useful lives of 3 to 15 years. Amortization amounted to $1,103,000 and $1,011,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other intangible assets capitalized were $-0- and $3,620,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 29 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from management and consulting, time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other services are recognized as the services are provided or at the time the goods are shipped, and title as passed. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common stock issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance. The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with persons classified as non-employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Stock-Based Transactions with Nonemployees”, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Management reviews long-lived assets and other intangible assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition is less than it’s carrying amount. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related net book value. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded total impairment charges of $0.4 million and $-0-, respectively. Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement in common stock or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies the following contracts as either an asset or a liability: contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) contain reset provisions. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. Convertible Instruments The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on either a relative fair value or fair value basis depending on the respective accounting treatment of each instrument. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion (“BCF”) and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discounts with corresponding entries to derivative liability and additional paid-in-capital. Costs paid to third parties (e.g., legal fees, printing costs, placement agent fees) that are directly related to issuing the debt and that otherwise wouldn’t be incurred, are treated as a direct deduction of the debt liability. Debt discount and issuance costs are generally amortized and recognized as additional interest expense in the statement of operations over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. The Company evaluates and bifurcates conversion features from the instruments containing such features and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments, according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying instrument, (b) the hybrid instrument that contains both the embedded derivative instrument and the underlying instrument is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable U.S. GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the underlying instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP. Commitments and Contingencies Except as otherwise disclosed in this Report, we have no material commitments or contingent liabilities. 30 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are not required to provide the information required by this Item 7A. as we are a smaller reporting company. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto appear in this Report beginning on page F-1. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedure Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive who also serves as our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of December 31, 2018 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018. 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. 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 the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. 31 As of December 31, 2018, management has not completed an effective assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework. Management has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP. Management identified the following material weaknesses set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting. 1. We did not perform an effective risk assessment or monitor internal controls over financial reporting. 2. With the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink, there are risks related to the timing and accuracy of the integration of information from various accounting and ERP systems. The Company has experienced delays in receiving information in a timely manner from its subsidiaries. 3. Due to the demands of integrating the accounting and finance functions, along with turnover in the accounting department, the impact of new accounting standards were not completed on a timely basis. In 2017, the Company acquired additional accounting personnel in connection with the Vislink acquisition and additional accounting personnel who can assist in supporting the Company’s accounting department. The Company expects improvements to be made on the integration of information issues in 2019 as we plan to move towards one accounting and ERP system. The Company is continuing to further remediate the material weakness identified above as its resources permit. This Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this Report. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no material changes, other than those described above, in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors The Board oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of our management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the Board does not involve itself in day-to-day operations. The directors keep themselves informed through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, other key executives and by reading the reports and other materials sent to them and by participating in Board and committee meetings. Our directors hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, or if for some other reason they are unable to serve in the capacity of director. 35 Our Board currently consists of seven (7) members: Roger G. Branton; Susan Swenson; Richard L. Mooers; George F. Schmitt; John C. Coleman; Raymond M. Sidney; and General James T. Conway. All of our directors will serve until our next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Board Committees Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Governance and Nomination Committee. Each committee has a charter, which is attached as an appendix to this Proxy Statement. Each of the board committees has the composition and responsibilities described below. The members of these committees are: Audit Committee Compensation Committee Governance and Nomination Committee Susan Swenson* General James T. Conway* Susan Swenson* General James T. Conway Raymond Sidney Raymond Sidney Raymond Sidney Susan Swenson General James T. Conway *Denotes Chairman of Committee. Audit Committee We have an Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act. The members of our Audit Committee are Susan Swenson, General James T. Conway, and Raymond Sidney. Susan Swenson, General James T. Conway and Raymond Sidney are “independent directors” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and oversees the audit of our financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The specific functions of the Audit Committee include: ●Selecting and recommending to our Board the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm and overseeing the engagement of such firm; ●Approving the fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm; ●Helping to ensure the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm; ●Overseeing the integrity of our financial statements; ●Preparing an audit committee report as required by the SEC to be included in our annual proxy statement; ●Reviewing major changes to our auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, internal auditors (if any) or management; ●Reviewing and approving all related party transactions; and ●Overseeing our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. 36 Compensation Committee The members of our Compensation Committee are General James T. Conway, Raymond Sidney, and Susan Swenson. Each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). In addition, each member of our Compensation Committee qualifies as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. Our Compensation Committee assists the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of the members of the Board and our executive officers. General James T. Conway serves as Chairman of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee’s compensation-related responsibilities include: ●Assisting our Board in developing and evaluating potential candidates for executive positions and overseeing the development of executive succession plans; ●Reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for our Chief Executive Officer; ●Reviewing, approving and recommending to our Board on an annual basis the evaluation process and compensation structure for our other executive officers; ●Providing oversight of management’s decisions concerning the performance and compensation of other company officers, employees, consultants and advisors; ●Reviewing our incentive compensation and other stock-based plans and recommending changes in such plans to our Board as needed, and exercising all the authority of our Board with respect to the administration of such plans; ●Reviewing and recommending to our Board the compensation of independent directors, including incentive and equity-based compensation; and ●Selecting, retaining and terminating such compensation consultants, outside counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate. Governance and Nomination Committee The members of our Governance and Nomination Committee are Susan Swenson, Raymond Sidney, and General James T. Conway. Each member of the Governance and Nomination Committee is “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). The purpose of the Governance and Nomination Committee is to recommend to the Board nominees for election as directors and persons to be elected to fill any vacancies on the Board, develop and recommend a set of corporate governance principles and oversee the performance of the Board. Kenneth Hoffman serves as chairman of our Governance and Nomination Committee. 37 The Governance and Nomination Committee’s responsibilities include: ●Selecting director nominees. The Governance and Nomination Committee recommends to the Board nominees for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders and nominees to fill vacancies on the Board. The Governance and Nomination Committee will consider candidates proposed by stockholders and will apply the same criteria and follow substantially the same process in considering such candidates as it does when considering other candidates. The Governance and Nomination Committee may adopt, in its discretion, separate procedures regarding director candidates proposed by our stockholders. Director recommendations by stockholders must be in writing, include a resume of the candidate’s business and personal background and include a signed consent that the candidate would be willing to be considered as a nominee to the Board and, if elected, would serve. Such recommendation must be sent to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s executive offices. When it seeks nominees for directors, our Governance and Nomination Committee takes into account a variety of factors including (a) ensuring that the Board, as a whole, is diverse and consists of individuals with varied and relevant career experience, relevant technical skills, industry knowledge and experience, financial expertise (including expertise that could qualify a director as a “financial expert”, as that term is defined by the rules of the SEC), local or community ties and (b) minimum individual qualifications, including strength of character, mature judgment, familiarity with the Company’s business and industry, independence of thought and an ability to work collegially. The Company is of the view that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the board room, contributing to the ability of the Board to work as a collective body, while giving the Company the benefit of the familiarity and insight into the Company’s affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure. Accordingly, the process of the Governance and Nomination Committee for identifying nominees reflects the Company’s practice of re-nominating incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the committee’s criteria for membership on the Board whom the committee believes continue to make important contributions to the Board and who consent to continue their service on the Board. The Board has not adopted a formal policy with respect to its consideration of diversity and does not follow any ratio or formula to determine the appropriate mix; rather, it uses its judgment to identify nominees whose backgrounds, attributes and experiences, taken as a whole, will contribute to the high standards of board service. The Governance and Nomination Committee may adopt, and periodically review and revise as it deems appropriate, procedures regarding director candidates proposed by stockholders; ●Reviewing requisite skills and criteria for new Board members and Board composition. The Governance and Nomination Committee reviews with the entire Board, on an annual basis, the requisite skills and criteria for Board candidates and the composition of the Board as a whole; ●Hiring of search firms to identify director nominees. The Governance and Nomination Committee has the authority to retain search firms to assist in identifying Board candidates, approve the terms of the search firm’s engagement, and cause the Company to pay the engaged search firm’s engagement fee; ●Selection of committee members. The Governance and Nomination Committee recommends to the Board on an annual basis the directors to be appointed to each committee of the Board; ●Evaluation of the Board. The Governance and Nomination Committee will oversee an annual self-evaluation of the Board and its committees to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively; ●Development of corporate governance guidelines. The Governance and Nomination Committee will develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company. The Governance and Nomination Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it deems appropriate. The Governance and Nomination Committee is authorized to retain independent legal and other advisors and conduct or authorize investigations into any matter within the scope of its duties. Director Nominating Procedures Since May 22, 2017, there have been no material changes to the procedures by which our security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors. Family Relationships There are no relationships between any of the officers or directors of the Company. 38 Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten (10) years: ●Been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); ●Had any petition under federal or state bankruptcy laws filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for, the business or property of the person, or any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two (2) years prior to that time; ●Been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; ●Been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; ●Been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or ●Been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Leadership Structure of the Board The Board does not currently have a policy on whether the same person should serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the Executive Chairman of the Board should be selected from the non- employee directors or should be an employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make these determinations at any given point in time in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for the Company at that time. Risk Oversight The Board oversees risk management directly and through its committees associated with their respective subject matter areas. Generally, the Board oversees risks that may affect the business of the Company as a whole, including operational matters. The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and also discusses with management the Company’s financial statements, internal controls and other accounting and related matters. The Compensation Committee oversees certain risks related to compensation programs and the Governance and Nomination Committee oversees certain corporate governance risks. As part of their roles in overseeing risk management, these committees periodically report to the Board regarding briefings provided by management and advisors as well as the committees’ own analysis and conclusions regarding certain risks faced by the Company. Management is responsible for implementing the risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks. 39 Code of Ethics The Board has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) which constitutes a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable SEC rules and a “code of conduct” as defined by applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We require all employees, directors and officers, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to adhere to the Code of Conduct in addressing legal and ethical issues encountered in conducting their work. The Code of Conduct requires that these individuals avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity. The Code of Conduct contains additional provisions that apply specifically to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other finance department personnel with respect to accurate reporting. The Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.vislinktechnologies.com. Information contained in our website does not form part of this Proxy Statement and is intended for informational purposes only. The Company will post any amendments to the Code of Conduct, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by the rules of the SEC on such website. Information contained on our website is not a part of, and is not incorporated into, this Proxy Statement, and the inclusion of our website address in this Proxy Statement is an inactive textual reference only. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock, to file with the SEC the initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Specific due dates for such reports have been established by the SEC, and the Company is required to disclose in this Proxy Statement any failure to file reports by such dates during fiscal year 2018. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, there was no failure to comply with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors or greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders other than as listed in the table below: Name John C.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management The following table sets forth, as of April 1, 2019, information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock by: ● each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock; ● each of our named executive officers; ● each of our directors; and ● all of our current executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC’) and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of April 1, 2019. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. Common Stock subject to stock options currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of April 1, 2019, are deemed to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding these options and the percentage ownership of any group of which the holder is a member but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. 41 Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Vislink Technologies, Inc., 240 S.

Our Audit Committee considers and approves or disapproves any related person transaction as required by Nasdaq Stock Market regulations. MB Technology Holdings, LLC and MB Merchant Group, LLC On April 29, 2014, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with MB Technology Holdings, LLC (“MBTH”), pursuant to which MBTH agreed to provide certain management and financial services to the Company. The Management Agreement was effective January 1, 2014. Roger G. Branton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company; George F. Schmitt, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board; and Richard Mooers, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, are each directors of MBTH. The Company has agreed to award MBTH a 3% cash success fee if MBTH arranges financing, a merger, consolidation or sale by the Company of substantially all of its assets. On November 29, 2016, the Company and MBTH entered into an acquisition services agreement (the ‘‘M&A Services Agreement’’) pursuant to which the Company engaged MBTH to provide services in connection with merger and acquisition searches, negotiating and structuring deal terms and other related services. The M&A Services Agreement incorporated by reference the terms of the Management Agreement, as well as the Company’s agreement with MBTH on January 12, 2013 to pay MBTH a 3% success fee on any financing arranged for the Company, merger or consolidation of the Company or sale by the Company of substantially all of its assets. The M&A Services Agreement also provided for additional fees owed to MBTH. On February 16, 2017, the Board of Directors amended the terms of the Block Purchase Option in the M&A Services Agreement to allow MBTH the option to acquire 25% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock and warrants of the Company at a price of $2.10 per share and for a five-year term (the “Dilutive Option”). On December 31, 2018, MBTH terminated the foregoing agreements and services provided to the Company. In connection therewith, we entered into an acquisition services agreement, dated December 29, 2018 (the “MBMG Agreement”) with MB Merchant Group, LLC (“MBMG”). Under the MBMG Agreement, MBMG will continue to provide the services provided by MBTH to the Company. The term of the MBMG Agreement commenced on January 1, 2019 and will renew automatically annually thereafter until sooner terminated by either party on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Roger G. Branton and Richard Mooers are the only members and partners of MBMG. Principally, MBMG will receive the following fees and compensation under the MBMG Agreement: 1. An acquisition fee comprised of the greater of $250,000 or 6% of the total acquisition price for all deals where the total consideration for the acquisition paid by the Company is less than $10 million. For deals which are $10 million to $100 million, the Company will pay MBMG a fee of $600k (for the first $10 million) plus a 4% fee of the excess value over $10 million. For deals which are $100 million to $400 million, the Company will pay MBMG a fee of $4.2 million (for the first $100 million) plus a 2% fee of the excess over $100 million. For deals which are over $400 million, the Company will pay MBMG a fee of $10.2 million plus a 1.1% fee of the excess over $400 million. 2. A success-based due diligence fee of $250,000, only on successfully closed deals, in addition to any other fees. 3. The 3% success fee referred to with respect to MBTH above shall be waived on a case by case basis whenever an acquisition fee is more than $1 million. The waiver should be for that part of the financing which is for the acquisition and should not relate to any additional fees raised for the Company above the acquisition price. And such 3% fee was decreased to 2% beginning January 1, 2019. 4. Should the Company engage an external, independent advisor to value the acquisition, and the result is a higher value than the price MBMG negotiated, then MBMG will receive an additional fee of 5% of such gain. This is to further incent MBMG to help the Company achieve the best value in acquisitions. 5. Reimbursement for certain expenses. 44 MBMG shall have the option to convert up to 50% of its fees into common shares of the Company so long as the receivable remains outstanding. The conversion price will be fixed at 110% of the price of the shares on the day of closing or the price in connection with any acquisition financing, whichever is lower. Provided MBMG converts at least 25% of its fees, then the Company agrees to register all of shares in the Company held by MBMG. MBMG and MBTH have separately agreed to split the Dilutive Option effective January 1, 2019. The split will be based on present ownership in MBTH and provided that MBMG be willing to accept this assignment to continue such merger and acquisition services to the Company. The Company agreed to allow both MBTH and MBMG to amend the strike price of said options based on any financing consummated in 2019 and such reset to be at the lowest and same price as the Company may agree to in any of its 2019 financings. Additionally, MBMG will receive a monthly fee of $50,000, and the Company at its sole discretion will have the option to credit such fees against future acquisition fees due each year to the extent it deems that appropriate based on all services received from MBMG. George F. Schmitt - Due to Related Party George F. Schmitt, a Director and the former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, earned an annual salary of $300,000 and received all of his compensation in shares of the Company’s common stock in 2017 and 2016. In 2017, Mr. Schmitt received 221,427 shares with a fair market value of $300,000. In 2016, Mr. Schmitt received 46,637 shares with a fair market value of $296,000. In 2018, Mr. Schmitt received 148,657 shares with a fair market value of $147,166. On July 25, 2016, the Company repaid the outstanding principal totaling $300,000 and $70,484 in interest to Mr. Schmitt on loans originating in 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has repaid in full the advances George F. Schmitt made to the Company in 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company accrued interest expense of $14,000. In October 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to give George F. Schmitt 27,977 shares of common stock for being the guarantor of the $2.5 million debt related to the IMT acquisition and the Company recorded the fair market value of the shares at $103,000 in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. These shares of common stock were issued in January 2017. At the same meeting, the Board of Directors also agreed to give George F. Schmitt 20,833 warrants at an exercise price of $8.40 and the Company recorded the grant date fair value of the warrants at $77,000. John C. Coleman We’ve entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer and director [(who is not standing for re- election)], John C. Coleman. Because there is no minimum and no financial commitment by either us or Mr. Coleman, we cannot adequately place a value on the agreement at this time. Director Independence As we are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of  “independent director” contained in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2)”). As of the date of this Proxy Statement, our Board affirmatively determined that Susan Swenson, General James T. Conway, and Raymond Sidney are “independent directors” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). On April 23, 2018, upon the retirement of George F. Schmitt as Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board appointed Gary Cuccio as Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. On July 19, 2018, the Board appointed Roger G. Branton, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, to the role of Chief Executive Officer. Because of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Branton is no longer an “independent director” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we intend the seven (7) director nominees, if all elected, to constitute a majority independent board under Rule 5605(b)(1) of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and as such, we will be in compliance with the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vislink Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a xG Technology, Inc.) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /S/ Marcum LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 — LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Under ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirement of ASC 205-40. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company had $2.0 million in cash on the balance sheet at December 31, 2018. The Company had working capital and an accumulated deficit of $9.4 million and $234.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company had a loss from operations in the amount of $14.4 million and cash used in operating activities of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company can continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations through realization of assets, and the settling of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company completed a cost reduction plan announced in April 2018 that resulted in approximately $8.2 million in annual savings. Savings were realized through immediate cost reductions affecting the xMax division by eliminating certain personnel costs, associated benefits and reduction in facilities and other expenses. The Company has also identified an additional $1.3 million in additional savings, primary related to facilities consolidation and severance. The Company believes it can raise additional working capital through equity or debt offerings; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be successful in such capital raising efforts. On May 29, 2018, the Company completed a private placement of $4 million in principal amount of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, by executing certain agreements with accredited institutional investors. During the months of October 2018 and December 2018, the Company negotiated modifications of the terms of such private placement with a majority of the accredited institutional investors, whereby the Company at its option can satisfy these obligations with shares of common stock. With the proceeds of the May 2018 financing, as amended, along with the significant cost reductions, management believes substantial doubt has been mitigated. The Company believes it will have sufficient working capital to fund operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The ability to recognize revenue and ultimately cash receipts is contingent upon, but not limited to, acceptable performance of the delivered equipment and services. If the Company is unable to close on some of its revenue producing opportunities in the near term, the carrying value of its assets may be materially impacted. 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) include the accounts of Vislink Technologies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IMT and Vislink, since the date the acquisitions of IMT and Vislink were completed. All material intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company (see Note 21). F-10 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Segment Reporting Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s decision-making group is the senior executive management team. The Company and the decision-making group view the Company’s operations and manage its business as one operating segment. All long-lived assets of the Company reside in the U.S. and U.K. Use of Estimates Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts and the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of Vislink. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents on hand as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and accounts receivables. The Company’s policy is to maintain its cash with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its risk of loss exposure. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits of $250,000. The funds are on deposit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Consequently, the Company does not believe that there is a significant risk related to having these balances in one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in its bank accounts during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. For customers, management assesses the credit quality of the customer, considering its financial position and past experience. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not experience concentrated sales to one customer in excess of 10% of the Company’s total consolidated sales. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded sales to one customer of $5,535,000 (12%) in excess of 10% of the Company’s total consolidated sales. As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not experience a customer receivable in excess of 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 33% of net accounts receivable was due from two customers broken down individually as follows: $1,634,000 (20%) and $1,073,000 (13%). Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgements regarding its customer’s ability to make required payments, prevailing economic conditions, past experience and other factors. As the financial condition of these factors change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses and losses have been within its expectations. F-11 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Inventories Inventories, consisting principally of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and is recorded at the lower of cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company evaluates inventory balances and either writes-down inventory that is obsolete or based on a net realizable value analysis or records a reserve for slow moving or excess inventory. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are presented at cost at the date of acquisition less depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives, which range from 1 to 10 years. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment, and repairs and maintenance are recognized in expenses as incurred. Depreciation amounted to $918,000 and $1,831,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Intangible Assets Software: The Company capitalizes certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use or sale to others when both the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the software will be used as intended with a product. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining computer software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the product. Capitalized software costs are included in intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and amortized on a straight- line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software, which approximates 5 years. Software amortization totaled $268,000 and $923,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Patents and licenses: Patents and licenses, measured initially at purchase cost, are included in intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 18.5 to 20 years. Amortization totaled $664,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other intangible assets: The Company’s remaining intangible assets include the trade names, technology and customer lists acquired in its acquisition of IMT and Vislink. The value of these acquired assets was determined by a third-party appraisal completed for these business combinations. Absent an indication of fair value from a potential buyer or similar specific transactions, the Company believes that the use of the methods employed provided a reasonable estimate in the reporting of the fair value assigned. The Company includes these costs in intangible assets on the balance sheet and are amortized over their useful lives of 3 to 15 years. Amortization amounted to $1,103,000 and $1,011,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other intangible assets capitalized were $-0- and $3,620,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. F-12 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Warranty Reserve Although the Company tests its product in accordance with its quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates or service costs differ from the Company’s estimates, which are based on limited historical data, where applicable, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. The warranty reserve for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $325,000 and $507,000, respectively. The warranty reserve increased by $23,000 and $550,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The claims made during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were ordinary and customary. Warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and cost of components in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. January 1, 2017 Warranty reserve expense Warranty claims settled and true-up of accrual December 31, 2017 Warranty reserve expense Warranty claims settled and true-up of accrual December 31, 2018 Shipping and Handling Costs Warranty Reserve 182,000 550,000 (225,000) 507,000 23,000 (205,000) 325,000 $ $ $ Shipping and handling charges are invoiced to the customer and the Company nets these charges against the respective costs within general and administrative expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the amount of shipping and handling costs incurred were $774,000 and $886,000, respectively. Convertible Instruments The Company records debt net of debt discount for beneficial conversion features and warrants, on either a relative fair value or fair value basis depending on the respective accounting treatment of each instrument. Beneficial conversion features are recorded pursuant to the Beneficial Conversion (“BCF”) and Debt Topics of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amounts allocated to warrants and beneficial conversion rights are recorded as debt discounts with corresponding entries to derivative liability and additional paid-in-capital. Costs paid to third parties (e.g., legal fees, printing costs, placement agent fees) that are directly related to issuing the debt and that otherwise wouldn’t be incurred, are treated as a direct deduction of the debt liability. Debt discount and issuance costs are generally amortized and recognized as additional interest expense in the statement of operations over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest method. The Company evaluates and bifurcates conversion features from the instruments containing such features and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying instrument, (b) the hybrid instrument that contains both the embedded derivative instrument and the underlying instrument is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable U.S. GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. F-13 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement in common stock or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies the following contracts as either an asset or a liability: contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in common stock (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) contain reset provisions. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. Treasury Stock Shares of common stock repurchased are recorded at cost as treasury stock. When shares are reissued, the cost method is used. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the excess of the acquisition cost over the reissuance price of the treasury stock, if any, is recorded to additional paid-in capital, limited to the amount previously credited to additional paid-in capital, if any. Any excess is charged to accumulated deficit. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from management and consulting, time-and-materials service contracts, maintenance agreements and other services are recognized as the services are provided or at the time the goods are shipped, and title has passed. Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred in performing research, design and development activities. These expenses consist primarily of salary and benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation and payroll taxes for employees and costs for contractors engaged in research, design and development activities, as well as costs for prototypes, facilities and travel. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common stock issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance. The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with persons classified as non-employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Stock-Based Transactions with Nonemployees”, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Management reviews long-lived assets and other intangible assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related net book value. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded total impairment charges of $0.4 million and $-0-, respectively. F-14 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and will be filing in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain tax position in its financial statements if, in management’s judgment, the position is more-likely-than-not sustainable upon audit based upon the position’s technical merits. This involves the identification of potential uncertain tax positions, the evaluation of applicable tax laws and an assessment of whether a liability for uncertain tax positions is necessary. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax-related interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $82,000 and $542,000, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Advertising costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Sales Tax and Value Added Taxes The Company accounts for sales taxes and value added taxes imposed on its goods and services on a net basis. Loss Per Share The Company reports (loss) earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic (loss) earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net (loss) earnings allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants, outstanding for the period as determined using the treasury stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders is the same for periods with a net loss. The following table illustrates the anti-dilutive potential common stock equivalents excluded from the calculation of earnings per share (in thousands): Stock options Convertible debt Warrants For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 5,857 13,629 11,872 31,358 6,551 — 8,695 15,246 F-15 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments U.S. GAAP requires disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement. In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments the fair value was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2018, consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions. The asset impairment is a non-recurring level 3 measurement.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Foreign Currency and Other Comprehensive (Loss) Gain The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary is typically the applicable local currency which is British Pounds. The translation from the respective foreign currency to United States Dollars (U.S. Dollar) is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using an average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign currency income or loss except for the effect of exchange rates on long-term inter-company transactions considered to be a long-term investment, which are accumulated and credited or charged to other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in our results of operations based on the difference between the foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and on the reporting date. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses are included as a component of general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents losses recognized from foreign exchange transactions; and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income representing the gain or loss on the translation of our foreign subsidiary’s financial statements as follows: Net foreign exchange transactions: Losses Accumulated comprehensive income: (Decreases) increases For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 $ $ 483,000 (79,000) $ $ 284,000 354,000 The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange as quoted on an OANDA, a Canadian-based foreign exchange company providing currency conversion, online retail foreign exchange trading, online foreign currency transfers, and forex information, internet website.

(f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Subsequent Events Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that no events or transactions are required to be disclosed herein, except as disclosed. Recent Accounting Standards – Adopted and Not Yet Adopted Adopted on January 1, 2019 In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the entitled consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the customer contracts. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has been able to defer adoption to January 1, 2019, under the emerging growth company (“EGC”) status that expired on December 31, 2018. Upon the loss of EGC status, an issuer is required to adopt the standard in its next filing. This accounting standard becomes effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods thereafter, specifically the first quarter of 2019. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The Company will adopt ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. Under the modified retrospective transition method, an entity compares the revenue recognized from contract inception up to the date of initial application to the amount that would have been recognized if it had applied ASC 606 since contract inception. The difference between those two amounts would be accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment and recognized on the date of initial application. The Company has completed its assessment of the new standard, including a review of the Company’s revenue streams to identify potential differences in accounting because of the new standard. This evaluation has influenced the Company to conclude that the adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact and will not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment is expected. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. As a lessor and lessee, we do not anticipate the classification of our leases to change, but we expect to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially virtually all our operating lease commitments leases for which we are the lessee as a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset on consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for lessors remains largely unchanged from existing guidance. The new standard has been adopted on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. F-18 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued) Recent Accounting Standards – Adopted and Not Yet Adopted (continued) Adopted on January 1, 2019 (continued) The new standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of- hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. We expect that this standard will have a material effect on our financial statements. While we continue to assess all the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our real estate operating leases. On adoption, the Company expects recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities pertaining to its operating leases on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all our leases of real estate. New Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic) 808: Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. The amendments in the update affect all entities that have collaborative arrangements. The amendments to this update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements as follows: Clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. Add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606. Require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity may not adopt the amendments earlier than its adoption date of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual period that includes the date of the entity’s initial application of Topic 606. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively either to all contracts or only to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application of Topic 606.

The purchase price paid for the transaction was an aggregate of $16 million consisting of (i) $6.5 million in cash consideration and (ii) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million (the ‘‘Notes’’). In connection with the Notes, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, dated February 2, 2017, with each of the Sellers (the ‘‘Security Agreements’’). The Notes were originally due to mature on March 20, 2017 (the ‘‘Maturity Date’’). Interest on the Notes was payable in cash on the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.9%. Pursuant to the Security Agreements, as collateral security for the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Company granted the Sellers a security interest in certain assets purchased from the Sellers in connection with the transaction. The fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the sellers of Vislink was allocated to the net assets acquired. The Company accounted for the Vislink acquisition as the purchase of a business under U.S. GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of the Company. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $26.9 million. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been treated as a gain on bargain purchase in accordance with ASC 805. The purchase price allocation was based, in part, on management’s knowledge of Vislink’s business and the results of a third-party appraisal commissioned by management. The Company utilized the services of an independent appraisal company to assist it in assessing the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. This assessment included an evaluation of the fair value of inventory, fixed assets and the fair value of the intangible assets acquired based upon the expected cash flows from the assets acquired. Additionally, the Company incorporated the carrying value of the remaining working capital as Vislink’s management represented that the carrying value of these assets and liabilities served as a reasonable proxy for fair value. The valuation process included discussions with management regarding the history and business operations of Vislink, a study of the economic and industry conditions in which Vislink competes and an analysis of the historical and projected financial statements and other records and documents. F-20 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4 — ACQUISITIONS (continued) When it became apparent there was a potential for a bargain purchase gain, management reviewed the Vislink assets and liabilities acquired and the assumptions utilized in estimating their fair values. The Company determined that provisional amounts, previously recognized, required adjustments to reflect new information obtained. According to ASC 805-10-25-15, the Company has a period of time, referred to as the measurement period, to finalize the accounting for a business combination. Upon additional review of identifying and valuing all assets and liabilities of the business, the Company concluded that recording a bargain purchase gain with respect to Vislink was appropriate and required under U.S. GAAP. The Company then undertook a review to determine what factors might contribute to a bargain purchase and if it was reasonable for a bargain purchase to occur. Factors that contributed to the bargain purchase price were: ● ● ● ● The Vislink acquisition was completed with motivated Sellers who had a public strategy to concentrate on growing their software business as opposed to their technology and hardware businesses. As a strategic decision, the Sellers intended to sell off the assets of the hardware business. The announcement of the U.K. leaving the European Union led to a decline in the pound, which led to pressure by Vislink’s creditors to raise funds. The owners of Vislink were motivated to complete a transaction in order to use the proceeds to reduce the line of credit they owed to the bank. The industry in 2015 and 2016 experienced a downturn as decreased spending combined with economic uncertainty caused corporations to delay wireless and broadcast infrastructure upgrades. The Sellers believed these trends would continue. According to IBISWorld, industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualized rate of 0.6% over the next five years reflecting further deterioration in the industry. As a result, the Sellers decided to sell the business. Prior to the U.K. leaving the European Union, Vislink was under contract to be sold for a much higher price. The Company took advantage of the economic and industry downturn to negotiate a favorable price which was less than the value of the assets acquired for a total purchase consideration of $16 million. Based upon these factors, the Company concluded that the occurrence of a bargain purchase was reasonable.

On March 17, 2017, the Company came to an agreement with the Sellers, pursuant to which the Company paid $2 million in cash and the Sellers extinguished the remaining $2.9 million of principal owed under the Notes and the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation analysis in accordance with ASC 805. As such, the Company’s final reported gain on bargain purchase was determined to be $10.9 million reduced from its previously reported gain on bargain purchase of $15.5 million. Such adjustments were made due to the Company completing its analysis of the net realizable value of certain of the tangible assets acquired. The estimated useful life remaining on the property and equipment acquired is 1 to 10 years and on the intangible assets is 3 to 10 years. 5 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consist of the following: Accounts receivable Allowance for doubtful accounts Net accounts receivable December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 $ $ 6,740,000 (549,000) 6,191,000 $ $ 9,305,000 (968,000) 8,337,000 During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred bad debt expense of $142,000 and $335,000, respectively. 6 — INVENTORIES Inventories included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet are stated at the lower of cost or market as summarized below: Raw materials Work-in-process Finished goods Sub-total inventories Less reserve for slow moving and excess inventory Total inventories, net December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 $ $ 6,173,000 3,711,000 4,052,000 13,936,000 (886,000) 13,050,000 $ $ 10,571,000 2,660,000 5,249,000 18,480,000 (3,727,000) 14,753,000 Inventory valuation adjustments consist primarily of items that are written off due to obsolescence or reserved for slow moving or excess inventory.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 11 — CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE Treco On October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note (the “$2 Million Convertible Note”) in favor of Treco International, S.A. (“Treco”), as part of the settlement compensation to Treco for terminating an infrastructure agreement. The $2 Million Convertible Note is payable on final maturity, October 6, 2018 and is convertible into common stock of the Company at a price of $42,000 per share. Interest at the rate of 9% per year is payable semi-annually in cash or shares, at the Company’s option. On October 6, 2018 the Company issued 48 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the full value of the remaining principal balance amounting to $2,000,000. The principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $-0- and $2,000,000, respectively. The accrued interest was $-0- and $42,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company issued 276,796 and 137,742 shares of common stock, respectively in repayment of $180,000 and $270,000 of interest, respectively. May 2018 Financing On May 29, 2018, the Company completed a private placement of $4 million in principal of 6% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, by executing certain agreements with accredited institutional investors. The Company received $3,636,760 net of debt issuance costs consisting of legal and placement fees totaling $363,240. The Debentures have a maturity date of May 29, 2019, with a conversion rate of $1.00 per share. If held beyond maturity, the conversion rate shall equal the lesser of (i) the then conversion price and (ii) 85% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the applicable conversion date. The Company shall pay interest to the holders on the aggregate and unconverted and outstanding principal amount on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, with the remaining principal balance due at maturity. The warrants have a maturity date of May 29, 2023 with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants meet the definition of a derivative as noted in ASC 815-10-15-83 and ASC 815-10-15-88. We allocated the proceeds from the issuance of this note and the warrants based on the fair value for each item. Consequently, we recorded debt discount valued at $1,788,171 on the warrants and these associated costs are required to be accounted for as liabilities and were immediately expensed as interest. The warrants were valued using the binomial model style simulation. The assumptions used in the binomial model style simulation at the date the funds were received are as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 163.50%; (3) risk-free interest rate of 0.27%; and (4) expected life of 5.00 years. We also determined that the convertible promissory notes contained beneficial conversion rights (“BCF”) and calculated the relative fair value and assigned $193,877 to the BCF. Debt Modification of the May 2018 Financing executed on October 9, 2018 On October 9, 2018, the Company agreed to modify the May 2018 Financing (“old debt”) with two of the original four note holders (the “majority holders”) issuing amended and restated agreements. These modifications principally provide for: 1. The ability to make monthly redemption payments in common stock of the Company. 2. The issuance of 302,655 shares of common stock as compensatory shares; 3. A good-faith effort to modify the monthly redemption provisions before the next monthly redemption date; 4. An amendment of the conversion price to $0.45; and 5. In the event that any of the majority holders convert its amended debenture, the Company shall be given dollar for dollar credit for any and all conversions effected in any month against any monthly redemption amount (as defined in the amended debentures) and provided, further, that in the event that a majority holder’s conversions in any particular month exceed such majority holder’s individual monthly redemption amount (as defined in the amended debentures), such overage shall carry over into the succeeding month to be credited against the monthly redemption amount (as defined in the debentures).

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 11 — CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (continued) May 2018 Financing (continued) Debt Modification of the May 2018 Financing executed on October 9, 2018 (continued) For the modification of the conversion option to $0.45 from $1.00, the Company applied ASC 470-50-40-10(a) and calculated the difference between the fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately before and after the modification. It has been concluded this is not a debt extinguishment. The Company determined that an increase in the conversion option fair value of $90,050 was recorded as additional debt discount with an offset to equity. The amount calculated will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the debt instrument using the interest method. The Company considered ASC 470-50-40-17(b) to determine the proper accounting to apply for the 302,655 compensatory shares for the majority holders. Since the modification is not to be accounted for in the same manner as a debt extinguishment, a fair market value of $160,407 was assigned to the compensatory shares and recorded as additional debt discount to be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the debt instrument using the interest method. On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a second modification agreement which led to an extinguishment of debt of the majority holders of the May 2018 Financing and created new debt obligations with revised terms and amounts. See below – Debt Modification of the May 2018 Financing executed on December 3, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining period over which any discount will be amortized is four months. The debentures (old debt) are summarized as of December 31, 2018 as follows: Remaining principal balance Debt discount incurred Amortization of debt discount Effect of debt extinguishment Un-amortized debt discount Ending Balance – December 31, 2018 $ 2,712,335 (2,277,962) (418,510) $ $ Items charged to interest expense for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017 are: Contractual interest expense Debt discount amortization Warrant costs Total charged to interest expense 2018 131,185 488,791 1,788,171 2,408,147 $ $ $ $ F-26 415,625 15,683 399,942 2017 -0- -0- -0- -0- VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

These modifications principally provide for: 1. A five percent (5%) original issue discount was retroactively applied to the principal amount. 2. The maturity date was extended to September 30, 2019 3. The equity conditions were modified 4. A floor price for all conversions and redemptions was added. The floor price with respect to the Trading Market that the Company’s Common Stock is listed or quoted, shall be a price equal to twenty cents ($0.20) (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and the like). 5. The definitions of Mandatory Redemption Amount, Monthly Redemption Date, Monthly Redemption Date, and Optional Redemption Amount (each as defined in the Second Amended Debentures) were each modified. Interest was retroactively modified to ten percent (10%), with 12 months interest guaranteed. 6. 7. An alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Second Amended Debentures) due to an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Amended Debentures) was added. 8. The Monthly Redemption (as defined in the Second Amended Debentures) section was modified. 9. Certain negative covenants were added. 10. The Event of Default (as defined in the Second Amended Debentures) sections were modified. The Company considered ASC 470-50-40-6 to 40-23 for the proper accounting guidance to apply for the December 31, 2018 modification of the May 2018 Financing. After the modification, it was concluded that the present value of cash flows under the terms of the new debt instruments differ by at least 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt instruments (commonly referred to as the “10% cash flow test”). The Company concludes that these modified terms are considered substantially different from the original terms thus requiring extinguishment accounting. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-17(a), the Company determined the new debt instrument’s value exceeded the extinguishment of the old debt instrument plus fees paid associated with the modification and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $1,059,870. The modifications resulted in new debt instruments and the principal is summarized as follows: Principal remaining on old debt modified Accrued interest on old debt modified Additional proceeds Original issue discount Redemption premiums Total new principal $ $ 3,400,000 100,300 2,000,000 105,265 525,045 6,130,610 The Company paid issuances costs associated with the debt modifications in the amount of $70,000 and was recorded as additional debt discount. The amount calculated will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the debt instrument using the interest method. In October 2018, the Company issued 222,224 shares valued at $100,000 as conversion of principal and interest. On December 4, 2018, the Company issued 552,912 shares at a fair market value of $238,758 as a conversion of principal and interest. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining period over which any discount will be amortized is nine months. F-27 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.)

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows: Deferred Tax Assets Federal R&D credit Inventory Allowance for bad debt Compensation Related Pension Other Accruals State Net operating losses Federal Net operating losses Property & Equipment Stock Options Other Valuation Allowance Total Deferred Tax Assets Deferred Tax Liabilities Property and Equipment Intangibles Inventory Prepaid Expenses Compensation Related Total Deferred Tax Liabilities $ December 31, 2018 2017 $ 2,819,000 78,000 32,000 3,000 6,000 305,000 8,532,000 36,079,000 12,000 6,214,000 834,000 (53,573,000) 1,341,000 (215,000) (1,080,000) — (24,000) (22,000) (1,341,000) 2,819,000 836,000 102,000 120,000 33,000 88,000 6,909,000 33,657,000 119,000 5,240,000 623,000 (48,159,000) 2,387,000 (197,000) (1,567,000) (623,000) — — (2,387,000) Net Deferred Tax Asset/(Liability) $ — $ — F-29 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 12 — INCOME TAXES (continued) As of December 31, 2018, the Company has federal net operating losses (“NOL”) of approximately $156.9 million that will expire beginning in 2027. The Company has federal NOLs of approximately $10.4 million that may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also has state NOL carryforwards of $152.7 million which will expire beginning in 2027. In addition, the Company has foreign NOL carryforwards of approximately $5.5 million that generally do not expire except under certain circumstances. The Company also has research and development credits of approximately $2.8 million which will begin to expire in 2027. The years that remain open for review by taxing authorities are 2015 to 2018 for Federal, Foreign and State Income Tax returns. Realization of the NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax temporary differences is contingent on future taxable earnings. The Company’s deferred tax assets were reviewed for expected utilization using a “more likely than not” approach by assessing the available positive and negative evidence surrounding its recoverability. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets, as it was determined based upon past and present losses that it was “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred tax assets would not be realized. The valuation allowance was increased to the full carrying amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets. In future years, if the deferred tax assets are determined by management to be “more likely than not” to be realized, the recognized tax benefits relating to the reversal of the valuation allowance will be recorded. The Company will continue to assess and evaluate strategies that will enable the deferred tax asset, or portion thereof, to be utilized, and will reduce the valuation allowance appropriately as such time when it is determined that the “more likely than not” criteria is satisfied. The net operating loss carryovers may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, and similar state provisions, should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under the applicable income tax regulations. The amount of the limitation would be determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change and subsequent ownership changes could further impact the amount of the annual limitation. An ownership change pursuant to Section 382 may have occurred in the past or could happen in the future, such that the NOLs available for utilization could be significantly limited. The Company plans to perform a Section 382 analysis in the future. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into U.S. law. The Tax Act permanently reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, which affected the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The lower tax rate meant that the future tax benefits and expenses of the Company’s existing deferred tax assets and liabilities were revalued, as the tax benefits and expenses attributable to these assets and liabilities would be realized at a lower rate. The Company’s remeasurement of its U.S. deferred tax and liabilities based on the change in tax rate resulted in a tax expense of approximately $22.4 million, which has been fully offset by a corresponding remeasurement of the valuation allowance provided on the associated deferred tax assets and liabilities. Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act includes a participation exemption system of taxation, which generally provides for 100% dividends received deduction on certain qualifying dividend distributions received by U.S. C-corporation shareholders from their 10% or more owned foreign subsidiaries. As a result of this new participation exemption system, it is generally anticipated that the Company should not be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxation on its future receipt of actual dividend income (as opposed to a deemed inclusion amounts under certain anti-deferral rules) from its foreign subsidiary. In implementing a prospective participation exemption system, the Tax Act also imposed a one-time transition tax on a U.S. shareholder’s share of certain post-1986 earnings and profits of held specified foreign corporations where such earnings had not previously been subject to U.S. taxation (the “repatriation tax”). The net inclusion amounts attributable to a given specified foreign corporation is deemed distributed at the close of that specified foreign corporation’s last taxable year beginning before January 1, 2018. One of the Company’s subsidiaries is in the United Kingdom. However, the subsidiary’s operations generated an earnings and profits deficit. Accordingly, the Company did not incur a 2017 tax liability associated with a net inclusion amount and did not include a provision for the repatriation tax. F-30 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 12 — INCOME TAXES (continued) For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act provides for an additional tax on U.S. shareholders on foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries denoted as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) whereby certain income earned by our foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. taxation. Due to yearly variations in the factors giving rise to the income and related tax, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the future impact of GILTI and any potential effect on the tax rate used to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the tax in the year (if any) in which it is incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s foreign subsidiary did not generate foreign earnings that would subject the Company to U.S. tax for GILTI. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act allows a foreign-derived intangible income deduction (“FDII”) which effectively taxes some foreign-derived income at a reduced rate. Due to yearly variations in income that might qualify for the deduction, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a potential deduction’s effect on the tax rate used to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The Company will account for this special deduction in the year (if any) in which the deduction is claimed. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act introduced a new limitation on the deduction of interest expense whereby current year interest deductions are limited (among other limitations) to 30% of adjusted taxable income, with various modifications and exceptions. The Company does incur interest expense, and evaluates each year the impact, if any, of the new limitation. The Company has not provided for deferred taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis in our investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. In general, it is the Company’s practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiary in those operations. Generally, the earnings of our foreign subsidiary have become subject to U.S. taxation based on certain provisions in U.S. tax law such as the recently enacted territorial transition tax under section 965 and under certain other circumstances. Due to the complexities of the provisions introduced with the Tax Act, and the underlying assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax provision required to account for these foreign undistributed earnings. The Company will account for any additional expense or deduction in the year it is claimed. The Company will continue to review each year whether this treatment is appropriate. The Company is currently not subject to any income tax examinations that would be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 13 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES Each of the warrants issued in connection with the August 2015 underwritten offering, the February 2016 Series B Preferred Stock Offering, the May 2016 financing, the July 2016 financing, the August 2017 underwritten offering, and the May 2018 financing have been accounted for as derivative liabilities as each of the warrants contain a net cash settlement provision whereby, upon certain fundamental events, the holders could put the warrants back to the Company for cash. The following are the key assumptions that were used in connection with the valuation of the warrants exercisable into common stock as of December 31, 2018 and 2017: Number of shares underlying the warrants Fair market value of stock Exercise price Volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected dividend yield Warrant life (years) F-31 Years Ended December 31, 2018 $ $ 4,928,152 0.31 0.45 to 13.79 118% to 149% 2.46% to 2.51% $ $ — 0.1 to 4.41 2017 968,080 1.62 2.00 to 2,400 67% to 160% 1.76% to 2.20% — 0.8 to 3.55 VISLINK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (f/k/a xG TECHNOLOGY, INC.) AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 13 — DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES (continued) Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Level 3 Valuation Techniques: Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company deems financial instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. In accordance with U.S. GAAP the fair value of these warrants is classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because, according to the terms of the warrants, a fundamental transaction could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to its warrant holders. Such instruments do not have fixed settlement provisions and have also been recorded as derivative liabilities. Corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recognized in earnings on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in each subsequent period. The Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. In order to calculate fair value, the Company uses a binomial model style simulation, as the value of certain features of the warrant derivative liabilities would not be captured by the standard Black-Scholes model. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Beginning balance Recognition of warrant liability on issuance dates Change in fair value of derivative liabilities Ending balance 14 — PREFERRED STOCK Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 $ $ 2,399,000 1,905,000 (3,186,000) 1,118,000 $ $ 1,183,000 1,321,000 (105,000) 2,399,000 In March 2013, by approval of the majority of the stockholders, the Company was authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of “Blank Check” preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $15,000,000 in shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time over the 30-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement covering the resale of shares of common stock issuable under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file such registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) business days of the execution of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company may, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 125,000 shares of common stock on any business day (such purchases, “Regular Purchases”), provided that at least one (1) business day has passed since the most recent Regular Purchase was completed, and in no event will the amount of a single Regular Purchase exceed $1.0 million. The purchase price of Regular Purchases will be based on the prevailing market prices of the common stock, which shall be equal to the lesser of the lowest sale price of the common stock during the purchase date and the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of the common stock during the ten (10) business days prior to the purchase date. The Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or additional purchases if the closing sale price of the common stock is not below the threshold prices as set forth in the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for common stock under a Regular Purchase or an accelerated purchase. In connection with its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 15, 2017, the Company did not receive stockholder approval, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), to issue shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement in an amount equal to 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. As such, the Company will not be permitted to draw down the full $15,000,000 in shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement unless and until the Company receives such stockholder approval. Under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to issue to Lincoln Park 192,431 shares of common stock as commitment shares in consideration for entering into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. The 192,431 shares of common stock were issued on September 11, 2017 with a fair market value of $302,000, which was included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 15 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY – (continued) Stock Options — Equity Incentive Plans: The Company’s stock option plans provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock to officers, directors, other key employees and consultants. The purchase price may be paid in cash or “net settled” in shares of the Company’s common stock. In a net settlement of an option, the Company does not require a payment of the exercise price of the option from the optionee, but reduces the number of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of the option by the smallest number of whole shares that has an aggregate fair market value equal to or in excess of the aggregate exercise price for the option shares covered by the option exercised. Options generally vest over a three-year period from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company has four plans under which they awarded share-based compensation grants of options to certain directors, employees, and advisors of the Company: the 2013 Stock Option Plan, 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan. On February 16, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a motion to cancel all outstanding stock options as the options were all out of the money in all previous stock option plans, thereby cancelling the 1,844 options that were outstanding on December 31, 2016. On March 16, 2017, the Board of Directors passed a motion to grant options to certain directors, employees, and advisors of the Company. Under the 2013 Stock Option Plan the Company issued 1,135,000 ten (10) year options, under the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Company issued 755,500 ten (10) year options, and under the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Company issued 1,665,000 ten (10) year options, totaling 3,555,500 (10) years options with an exercise price of $1.55 per share on March 24, 2017. The fair value of the options granted on March 24, 2017 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.90%, dividend yield of -0-%, volatility factor of 286.51% and the expected life of options is 6.00 years. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the equivalent lives of the options. The expected life of the options represents the estimated period until exercise considering the contractual terms. The Company has not paid dividends on common stock and no assumption of dividend payment is made in the model. The options vest at one third on March 24, 2018, one third on March 24, 2019 and one third on March 24, 2020.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded approximately $3,728,000 and $2,209,125, respectively as stock compensation expense from the amortization of stock options issued, of which $0.8 million was the expense for accelerating the vesting of the remaining options for terminated employees. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0.89 and $1.58, respectively. Each option is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions (all in weighted averages): Exercise price Volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected dividend yield Expected term (years) $ 2018 2017 $ 0.89 148.71% 2.63% 0% 6 1.58 285.27% 1.88% 0% 6 The risk-free rate is based on the rate for the U.S. Treasury note over the expected term of the option. The expected term for employees represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method, as the Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. For non-employee options, the expected term is the full term of the option. Expected volatility is based on the average of the weekly share price changes over the shorter of the expected term or the period from the placement on London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market to the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 8.41 years for options outstanding and 8.34 years for options exercisable. The intrinsic value of options exercisable at December 31, 2018 was $0. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining stock compensation expense is approximately $3.34 million over the remaining amortization period which is 1.47 years. The Company estimates forfeiture and volatility using historical information. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues over the equivalent lives of the options. The expected life of the options represents the estimated period using the simplified method. The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and no assumption of dividend payment(s) is made in the model.

This split will be based on ownership in MBTH on December 30, 2018 and provided that MBMG be willing to accept this assignment to continue such M&A services to Vislink Technologies as evidenced by its signature on this agreement. Vislink Technologies agrees to allow both MBTH and MBMG to amend the strike price of said options based on any financing done in 2019 and such reset to be at the lowest and same price as Vislink Technologies may do in any of its 2019 financings. This is in return for continuing to perform the services in connection herewith, and in recognition of the present pricing issues Vislink Technologies has faced in the capital markets, which were not caused by MBMG, and where the value of this option was unintentionally impacted, and where Vislink Technologies recognizes the continued importance of M&A’s to its future success and as part of completing Vislink Technologies ’s turnaround, recapitalization and reorganization consistent with its needs going forward. F. Consulting Fee. Vislink Technologies previously paid MBTH a $25,000 per month consulting fee as a part of its services. Henceforth, such fee will be increased to $50,000; and Vislink Technologies at its sole discretion will have the option to credit such fees against future acquisition fees due each year to the extent it deems that appropriate based on all services received from MBMG. It should be pointed out that MBTH, and now MBMG, had been allowing substantial fees to be in arrears for going on two years now since the Vislink transaction and as a way to further help Vislink Technologies manage some of its historical cash flow challenges. MBMG will continue to work with Vislink Technologies where necessary and requested by Vislink Technologies for its management of cash flow; but with a hope that this can be cleaned up in 2019 and put back in current standing. G. Term. The MBMG Agreement shall be effective as of January 1, 2019 and shall automatically renew annually thereafter until sooner terminated by either party on thirty (30) days prior written notice. In the event of termination, including though not limited to, in connection with a change of control of Vislink Technologies, the provisions of Sections II and III of the Agreement shall survive. If this MBMG Agreement expires or is terminated by the Company for any reason and the Company (and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates) consummates, or enters in to an agreement in principle to engage in (and subsequently closes at any time) any Transaction prior to the date that is twelve months after such expiration or termination date (the “Tail Period”) MBMG shall be entitled to receive its Transaction Fee upon the consumption of such Transaction as if no such expiration or termination had occurred.
