Management Comments

“We are very excited with Brekford’s overall progress during the past year and we are embarking on a concerted effort in the coming months to make sure more investors are aware of Brekford’s value proposition,” commented C.B. Brechin, Chief Executive Officer of Brekford Corp. “With input from existing shareholders, employees, management team members, and customers, we are wrapping up the details of a rollout plan to increase awareness of our brand, understanding of our long-term vision, and the status of our projects, business prospects, and growth opportunities. I believe that Brekford is uniquely positioned, with our longstanding history as a public safety solutions provider, to dramatically expand our market share as the demand for body-worn cameras and ATSE services continues to rise. What sets us apart from our competition is diversity of services and products. We are not exclusively a manufacturer, although we have an extensive array of intellectual property and internally developed technology. We are not exclusively a reseller, although we represent and sell products from some of the most well respected companies in the industry such as Panasonic, Trimble, and Sierra Wireless. Because of our breadth of industry relationships, innovative solutions, and diversity of products, Brekford is able to provide clients with customized solutions to solve a broad array of technical deficiencies.”

Rod Hillman, Brekford’s Chief Operating Officer, added, “We intend to capitalize on Brekford’s position within the industry by executing on the five key objectives outlined above. The recent positive trend in our financial results, coupled with expanded business development efforts, should enable us to achieve significant growth in 2015 and beyond.”
