The business of breathalyzer ignition interlock device industry is competitive, and from time-to-time new companies may appear on the list of approved providers in various states, however, there is a high barrier to entry due to the cost of development fees, manufacturing fees, NHSTA-approved testing, and state field testing. We compete with a number of successful companies in the industry, including, but not limited to, LifeSafer®, Smart Start®, Intoxalock®, Guardian Interlock Systems and Dräger. These larger companies have greater financial resources than we do, have approval in most (if not all) states, and likely have 50,000 of their respective ignition interlock devices on the road each. By comparison we currently have approval in eight states and have approximately 225 units on the road. Although we believe our BDI-747/1 device compares favorably to the interlock devices provided by our competitors, we will need to raise significant capital and gain approval in most states in order capitalize on our BDI-747/1 device. We believe if we do this we will be able to compete better with these larger competitors.

Due to the state approvals necessary to service the judicially-mandated breath analyzer ignition interlock market we believe there is a barrier to entry that will discourage too many other companies from entering the industry. Not only must a new entrant develop and manufacture a breathalyzer device, it must meet the NHTSA requirements, and then get approved by state regulators, all of which can be costly. The complexities and costs of meeting all these steps should keep new entrants into the industry to a minimum.
