ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
($ United States)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
(Unaudited)


1. Basis of presentation

ALR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp. On December 28, 1998, the Company changed its name from Mo Betta Corp. to ALR Technologies Inc. The Company has developed a line of medication compliance reminder devices and compliance monitoring systems that will assist people with taking their medications and treatments on time and allow for heath care professionals to remotely monitor and intervene as necessary if a person is noncompliant.

In April 2008, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada and its activities have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption.  The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past several fiscal years (Three months period ended March 31, 2009 - $458,953; 2008 - $1,899,110; 2007 - $1,579,506), is currently unable to self-finance operations, has working capital deficit of $12,723,302 as at March 31, 2009,  $12,324,804 as at December 31, 2008 (2007 - $10,773,657), a deficit of $26,154,553 as at March 31, 2009 , $25,695,600 as at December 31, 2008 (2007 - $23,796,490), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow and no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further product development and operations.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations and fund working capital and its ability to achieve profitable operations. All of the Company's debt financing is either due on demand or is overdue and now due on demand. The Company will seek to obtain creditors' consents to delay repayment of these outstanding promissory notes payable until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of shares on the exercise of options and warrants and through future common share private placements. Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future periods to achieve profitable operations. The resolution of the going concern issue is dependent upon the realization of management's plans. There can be no assurance provided that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, from the sources described above, on satisfactory terms. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining financing or in achieving profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.  The Company is currently financed by loans from a relative of a director of the Company.

The financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which could be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts differing from those reflected in the financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies

The information included in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

a) Stock-based compensation:

The Company follows the provisions of FASB No. 123R in accounting all its stock options issued.
 
b) Basic and diluted net loss per common share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted net loss per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128: Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128") replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share ("EPS") with a presentation of both basic and diluted EPS for all entities with complex capital structures including a reconciliation of each numerator and denominator. Basic EPS excludes dilutive securities and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were converted into common stock and is computed similarly to fully-diluted EPS pursuant to previous accounting pronouncements. SFAS 128 applies equally to loss per share presentations.

c) Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canada ALRTech Health Systems Inc. (incorporated in British Columbia, Canada). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company's inventories consists of product parts and finished goods inventories. The Company has expended significant efforts introducing its Human Prescription Reminders ("Med Reminders") to disease management companies, home care companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, health management organizations, pharmacy benefits managers and certain clinics treating specific disease conditions. Sales to March 31, 2009 have not been sufficient for the Company to realize its investment in these inventories. Management plans to recover its investment in inventories through sales via the channels indicated above and through international markets. As of March 31, 2009, management had recorded a provision of $263,520 in respect of its Med Reminder inventory.

5. Promissory notes payable

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company received a total of $120,699 from a relative of a director in exchange for promissory notes payable. The promissory note is due on demand with interest at 1.0% per month and is secured by a floating charge against assets of the Company. As further consideration, 483,000 options exercisable into common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of five years were issued.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a non-related party whereby the Company received a total $450,000 over a four-month period starting from March 2008 in exchange for promissory notes payable. The promissory note was due for repayment on September 30, 2009 with interest at 1.0% per month and is unsecured. As further consideration, 1,800,000 options exercisable into common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share until March 31, 2013 were issued. The stock-based compensation arising from this stock option has been estimated to be $104,534 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized as interest expenses over the loan period. As of March 31, 2009, the unamortized interest was $33,600.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, a promissory note repayable in Canadian dollars to a director decreased by $3,484 due to favorable exchange rate changes with the United States dollars.

The fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the expected life of the options of 5 years, volatility factors of 188%, risk-free interest rate of 2.72% and zero dividend rate. The Company applies zero forfeiture rate in calculating stock-based compensation expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company cancelled 9,500,000 stock options from a director and 1,000,000 stock options from non-employees, all of which were not vested nor recorded as stock-based compensation expense prior to cancellation.  The remaining 2,000,000 stock options that were vested immediately were cancelled as per settlement agreement with a former consultant.

ITEM 2.                      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

The following information must be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2008. Except for the description of historical facts contained herein, the Form 10Q contains certain forward-looking statements concerning future applications of the Company's technologies and the Company's proposed services and future prospects, that involve risk and uncertainties, including the possibility that the Company will: (i) be unable to commercialize services based on its technology, (ii) ever achieve profitable operations, or (iii) not receive additional financing as required to support future operations, as detailed herein and from time to time in the Company's future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the accounting polices that are most critical to our financial condition and results of operations and involve management's judgment and/or evaluation of inherent uncertain factors are as follows:

Basis of Presentation. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize on its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements. As described in note 1 to the interim financial statements, at March 31, 2009, there are certain conditions that exist which raise substantial doubt about the validity of this assumption. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations and fund working capital and its ability to achieve profitable operations. The Company will seek to obtain creditors consent to delay repayment of its outstanding promissory notes payable until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated from operations, replacement debt or from equity financing through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of additional debt, the issuance of shares on the exercise of options and warrants and through future common share private placements. Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future years to achieve profitable operations. Failure to achieve management's plans may result in the Company curtailing operations or writing assets and liabilities down to liquidation values, or both.

Prepaid expenses and deposits. Prepaid expenses and deposits primarily consists of prepaid commission expenses for market development purposes.






-15-

 
 

 

Inventories. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value. Net realizable value reflects the current estimated net selling price or value in use of the item in inventory in a non-forced sale. The Company assesses the need for inventory write-downs based on its assessment of the estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market conditions. When the results of these assumptions differ from the Company's projections, an additional inventory write-down may be required.

Revenue recognition. The Company recognizes sales revenue at the time of delivery when title has transferred to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and the sales proceeds are collectible. Provisions are recorded for product returns based on historical experience. Sales revenue, in transactions for which the Company does not have sufficient historical experience, is recognized when the return privilege period has expired. Changes in sales terms could materially impact the extent and timing of revenue recognition.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company follows the provisions of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company took into consideration guidance under SFAS 123(R) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using daily price observations over an observation period of five years. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. Due to the Company’s history with respect to forfeitures of incentive stock options, the estimate of expired or cancelled options included in the above option valuation was zero.

Valuation of Long-lived Assets The Company assesses the potential impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Changes in the operating strategy can significantly reduce the estimated useful life of such assets.

Results of Operations

Management is focusing the majority of its efforts on introducing and marketing the HealthEConnect health management platform and its diabetes management system to the healthcare industry. A health services company based in Georgia has been signed on and has successfully gained customer commitments to implement the HealthEConnect diabetes management system. Corporations that are self-insured are being targeted due to the potential benefits they can achieve with the ALRT HealthEConnect and CHC system. Expected results are better health outcome with their employees and dependents along with lower cost of care for these targeted individuals with diabetes.

The Company is first targeting customers located in United States and in Canada. Pilot programs have been established in each and with pilot outcome results now becoming available, extensive selling activities are currently in process.

 Sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $Nil as compared to $1,739 for the same three month period last year. The decrease in sales was mainly due to the Company's new product is in the final stage of development and early stage of marketing campaign.  The Company is fine-tuning the HealthEConnect healthcare management software platform and coordination of software protocols from the various diagnostic equipment such as glucometers necessary for remote monitoring through the ALRT HealthEConnect.

Development costs were $68,750 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared with $190,814 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Development costs incurred during the first quarter of 2009 related to the allocation of additional programming resources required for the development of the ALRT500 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Med Reminders and the ALRT Interactive Response System (AIRS).
-16-

 
 

 

Development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 include $22,250 and $143,791, respectively, of stock-based compensation recognized in the period.

Interest expense was $237,836 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared with $168,396 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The amount for the current quarter included $54,572 relating to options issued in exchange for $120,699 loan received during the period which loans were repayable at demand secured by a floating charge against the Company’s assets.

 Professional fees were $11,777 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared with $14,280 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Fees were slightly lower due to less accounting and audit services obtained in the quarter.

 The selling, general and administrative expenses were $141,088 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $147,709 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease relates primarily to lower compensation expenses incurred during the current quarter.

 Net loss of $458,953 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased from a loss of $526,207 for the same quarter in 2008 mainly due to decrease in product development costs as the produce development is close to maturing stage.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations and fund working capital and its ability to achieve profitable operations. All of the Company's debt financing is either due on demand or is overdue and now due on demand. The Company will seek to obtain creditors' consents to delay repayment of these outstanding promissory notes payable until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of shares on the exercise of options and warrants and through future common share private placements. Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future periods to achieve profitable operations. The resolution of the going concern issue is dependent upon the realization of management's plans. There can be no assurance provided that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, from the sources described above, on satisfactory terms. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining financing or in achieving profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.  The Company is currently financed by loans from a relative of a director of the Company.

Cash Balances and Working Capital

As of March 31, 2009, the Company's cash balance was $1,380 compared to $7,901 as of December 31, 2008. As of March 31 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $12,756,902 as compared to a working capital deficiency of $12,375,204 as of December 31, 2008.

Short and Long Term Liquidity

As of March 31, 2009, the Company does not have the current financial resources and committed financing to enable it to meet its overheads, purchase commitments and debt obligations over the next 12 months.



-17-

 
 

 

All of the Company's debt financing is either due on demand or has a maturity date of less than one year. The Company will seek to obtain creditors' consents to delay repayment of these loans until it is able to replace these financings with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. Failure to obtain either replacement financing or creditor consent to delay the repayment of existing financing could result in the Company having to curtail operations.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Cash used by the Company in operating activities during the quarter was $127,220 in comparison with $62,560 generated during the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to increased payments to suppliers during the current quarter.

Cash Proceeds from Financing Activities

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company received $120,699 loan from a relative of a director as compared to $60,000 from a non-related party in the three-month period of 2008.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangement

The Company has no off balance sheet financing arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that is material to investors.

ITEM 3.                      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “internal control over financial reporting” as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
(i)
pertain to the maintenance of  records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
(ii)
provide reasonable assurauce that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 
(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

-18-

 
 

 

Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” published by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there is material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company’s material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting relates to the monitoring and review of work performed in the preparation of audit and financial statements, footnotes, and financial data provided to the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with the annual audit.  All of our financial reporting is carried out by the Chief Financial Officer and Controller.  The lack of accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for an effective system of internal control.  The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements for 2007 or any other related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the current reporting period.

In order to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible, all quarterly and annual financial reports are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Audit Committee for reasonableness.  All unexpected results are investigated.  At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weakness, it is immediately implemented.  We intend to implement appropriate procedures for monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer and Controller.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.
