ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Development Stage Company
($ United States)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern
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 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 health care professionals to remotely monitor and intervene as necessary if a person is noncompliant. On October 17, 2011 the Company announced that it had received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration for its Health-e-Connect (HeC) System. The Company is currently in preparation for the commercial launch of its HeC System.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 losses over the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 of $4,681,206 and $4,368,929 respectively. In addition, losses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $5,276,669 and $2,075,128, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the Company is currently unable to self-finance its operations, has a working capital deficit of $12,134,941 ($10,983,062 at December 31, 2011), an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $11,854,170 ($10,983,062 at December 31, 2011), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow, and no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct continued product development activities required. If the Company is able to finance its required product development activities, there is no assurance the Company’s current projects will be commercially viable or profitable. The Company has debts comprised of accounts payable, advances, interest, lines of credit and promissory notes payable totalling $11,902,830 currently due, due on demand or considered delinquent. There is no assurance that the Company will not face legal action from creditors regarding delinquent accounts payable, payroll payable, advances, promissory notes and interest payable. Any one or a combination of these above conditions could result in the failure of the business and cause the Company to cease 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 fund working capital and overhead requirements, fund the development of the Company’s product line and ultimately, the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations and repay overdue obligations. Management has obtained short-term financing from related parties through lines of credit facility with available borrowing up to $4.5 million (As of September 30, 2012 the total balance outstanding was $4,150,220). The resolution of whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the realization of management’s plans. If additional financing is required, the Company plans to raise needed capital through the exercise of share options and by future common share private placements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital from the sources described above, or that the lender of the line of credit arrangement will maintain the availability of borrowing from the line. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining short-term financing or achieving long-term profitable operations, the Company will not be able to continue operations.

1. Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern (continued)
All of the Company’s debt is either due on demand or is in default and is now due on demand and continues to accrue interest at its stated rates. Certain overdue creditors have demanded repayment and have not yet been repaid by the Company as there is no cash available to make the repayments. The Company will make the necessary repayments when funds are generated and available from operations or from equity financings through private placements. While some of 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. In the past, creditors have successfully commenced legal action against the Company to recover debts outstanding. In those instances, the Company was able to obtain financing from related parties to cover the verdict or settlement; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the same financing in the future. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing to cover any potential verdicts or settlements, the Company could be required to cease operations.
The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2012. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s continued product development and product launch efforts. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with the line of credit it currently has available.
While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital, or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, which was derived from unaudited condensed financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
a) Development stage company
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, developing operating assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 Development Stage Entities. While the Company generated revenues from its previous generation of products, the Company has not generated any revenues from its current principal operations, and there is no assurance of future revenues.
b) Principles of consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its integrated wholly-owned subsidiary, ALRTech Health Systems Inc. (incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on April 15, 2008). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
c) Options and warrants issued in consideration for debt.
The Company allocates the proceeds received from debt between the liability and the options and warrants issued in consideration for the debt, based on their relative fair values, at the time of issuance. The amount allocated to the options or warrants is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a discount to the related debt. The discount is amortized to interest expense on a yield basis over the term of the related debt.
d) Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.
e) Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards that are available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess.

2. Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)
The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
f) Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period. 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 loss per common shares when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
g) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
h) Fair value
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2. Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)
h) Fair value
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company believes the carrying value of cash, prepaid expenses, accrued interest payable, advances, lines of credit and promissory notes approximate fair value because they are short term in duration, due on demand or have a market-based interest rate.
Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of the due from related party because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.
i) Recent accounting pronouncements
Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of Fair Value Measurement – Topic 820.” ASU 2011-04 is intended to provide a consistent definition of fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments include those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, as well as those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is thus effective for us beginning with interim periods in our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Not Adopted
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11: Balance Sheet (topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires new disclosure requirements mandating that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-11 on the consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

Not Adopted (continued)
The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, on July 27, 2012, to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2012-02 on the consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
3. Interest, Advances and Promissory Notes Payable
On September 4, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Credit to Judgment from the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina, whereby the Company was ordered to pay two creditors holding promissory notes payable (the “plaintiffs”) an aggregate amount of $1,988,000 for principal, interest and legal fees incurred. Subsequent to the verdict, the Company, two directors, a relative of a director (the “Purchaser”) and the plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby a relative of a director acquired $1,313,000 of debts from the plaintiffs in a private transaction. The remaining $675,000 due to the plaintiffs was exchanged for common shares of the Company as part of a separate debt for shares settlement (note 6). As part of the Settlement Agreement, a second director, not related to the Purchaser, assigned unsecured advances payable of the Company with no stated terms of interest, totalling $425,000, to the plaintiffs. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to the following repayment terms:
- $300,000 repayable at a rate of $25,000 per month (note 6); and
- $125,000 repayable in whole by January 15, 2011 (unpaid)

9. Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances payable, interest payable and promissory notes payable.
Fair value
The fair values of cash and certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.
Certain accounts payable have been outstanding longer than one year. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the period the payables have been outstanding for longer than one year, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital. The calculated amount represents the implicit compensation for the use of funds beyond a reasonable term for regular trade payables.
For the purposes of fair value analysis, promissory notes payable can be separated into three classes of financial liabilities.
i. Interest-bearing promissory notes, lines of credit and related interest payable
ii. Non-interest-bearing promissory notes past due
The interest-bearing promissory notes payable are all delinquent and have continued to accrue interest at their stated rates. The Company currently does not have the funds to extinguish these debts and will continue to incur interest until such time as the liabilities are extinguished. There is not an active market for delinquent loans for a Company with a similar financial position. Management asserts the carrying values of the promissory notes and related interest payable are a reasonable estimate of fair value as they represent the Company’s best estimate of their legal obligation for these debts. As there is no observable market for interest rates on similar promissory notes, the fair value was estimated using level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company has three non-interest-bearing promissory notes payable past due. The first is several years delinquent and there have been no renegotiated repayment terms. There is not an active market for default loans not bearing interest nor is there an observable market for lending to companies with a financial position similar to the Company. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the promissory notes, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds. Management asserts the payment date for these amounts cannot be reasonably determined. Management further asserts there is not a determinable interest rate for arm’s-length borrowings based on the current financial position of the Company and asserts the carrying value is the best estimate of the Company’s legal liability and represents the fair value for the promissory note. This would be considered a level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy.

9. Financial Instruments (continued)
Fair value (continued)
The fair value of advances payable cannot be determined as they are related party amounts that have no stated terms of repayment. There is no market for similar instruments. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the advances payable, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash. The Company only has an immaterial cash balance and is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of two components:
|
a)
|
To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
|
The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on promissory notes payable of $500,000, which incurs a variable interest rate of prime plus 1%. A hypothetical change of 1% on interest rates would increase or decrease net loss and comprehensive loss by $5,000.
|
b)
|
To the extent that changes in prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rate on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.
|
The Company’s promissory notes payable consist of $500,000 of variable interest rate notes and $4,786,319 of fixed interest rate notes. All of these notes are past due and are currently due on demand while interest continues to accrue. Due to the delinquency of the fixed interest rate promissory notes payable, there is no active market for these instruments and fluctuations in market interest rates do not have a significant impact on their estimated fair values as of September 30, 2012.
At September 30, 2012, the effect on the net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 1% in market interest rate cannot be reasonably determined.

9. Financial Instruments (continued)
Foreign currency risk
The Company incurs certain accounts payable, advances payable and expenses in Canadian dollars and is exposed to fluctuations in changes in exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. As at June 30, 2012, the effect on net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 10% between the US and Canadian dollar would not be material. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.
10. Comparative Figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Description of Business
ALR Technologies is a leader in the emerging field of Chronic Disease Management utilizing in-home, patient-focused technology. ALR Technologies products utilize internet based technologies to facilitate health care providers the ability to monitor their patient’s health and ensure adherence to health maintenance activities.
The Company’s Health-e-Connect (HeC) system is an internet based product initially intended for patients with diabetes and their health care providers to improve communication and monitoring of patients’ health management programs. One aspect of the system is that HeC will incorporate data uploaded from patients’ glucose meters into the ALRT database to quickly assess user adherence and performance compared to provider set targets, such as prescriptions and guidelines. This provides patients and caregivers the ability to track patient performance and adherence, thereby allowing timely intervention, which would consist of contact by the caregiver to patient. By providing this ongoing monitoring and feedback, the HeC system is expected to enhance outcomes of patients’ health as measured by A1c and lower costs borne by the US health care system related to this chronic disease.
The HeC system has received United States FDA 510(k) clearance for sale. The Company is currently focusing its efforts on introducing and marketing its HeC system for patients and health care providers in the United States. The Company has limited financial resources and is actively seeking agency and marketing relationships to reach widespread adoption. In addition, the Company is working to establish health insurance company reimbursement for HeC services.
The Company’s HeC System for diabetes management provides an affordable and easy to use tool to provide the communication network as recommended by the Committee. HeC includes a communications software platform that also enables health professionals to remotely monitor the health progress specifically relating to patients with diabetes. This facilitates more effective and timely communication of care to these patients.
The HeC system is compatible with the majority of glucose meters available for sale in the United States and also through the Company’s universal upload cable. Once development and testing is completed, the universal cable will be offered to customers who’ve adopted the HeC system.
Since receiving FDA clearance, the Company’s senior leadership team has been presenting how the HeC system uniquely supports mutual priorities around improved patient care, healthcare cost-containment, accountability, and job creation based on the results from the clinical trials conducted and applied to studies surrounding diabetes management by numerous sources.
In the future, the Company may seek to adapt its HeC system to be used in the management of other chronic diseases. The Company would be required to obtain additional clearance from the FDA prior to commencing selling activities in the United States for other purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Going Concern
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may materially differ from our estimates.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared 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. See note 1 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Due to our being a development stage company and not having generated significant revenues, in the Notes to our financial statements, we have included disclosure regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

General and administrative expenses were $617,315 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $615,452 for the same period in the prior year, which is an insignificant change.
Market development costs were $239,425 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $633,515 for the same period in the previous year. The costs incurred during 2012 substantially relate to fees paid for such services whereas the higher costs of approximately $208,000 in 2011 related to the Company retaining a public relations and communications firm for the launch of its HeC product line.
Product development costs were $368,150 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $220,927 for the same period in the previous year. The increase is primarily two fold:
1.
|
the Company increased the size and service level of its development team; and
|
2.
|
the Company spent approximately $20,000 more on purchases in connection with new product development.
|
Professional fees were $92,250 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $122,987 for the same period in the previous year. The decrease can be substantially attributed to stock options being granted and modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as follows:
§
|
On March 6, 2011, the Company granted 250,000 stock options to a consultant. The stock options were exercisable at $0.10 per share for five years from the date of grant.
|
§
|
Also on March 6, 2011, 200,000 stock options granted to a consultant on July 1, 2011, were modified to vest immediately and have a reduction in exercise price from $0.25 to $0.10 per share.
|
These two transactions resulted in stock based compensation of approximately $43,000 being recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Interest expense was $3,403,966 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared with $2,776,138 for the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense was from the following sources for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Interest on Promissory Notes
There were not any substantial changes in the amount of promissory notes outstanding from September 30, 2011 to September 30, 2012.
Interest on Lines of Credit
As at September 30, 2011, the Company had borrowed an additional $1,800,000 against its line of credit facilities (interest rates of 1% per month on the borrowed balance) as compared to September 30, 2012. This difference in borrowing resulted in significantly higher interest incurred on the lines of credit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.
Imputed Interest
The balance of zero interest promissory notes, advances payable and accounts payable in excess of one year remained consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the same period ended September 30, 2011.
Stock Based Compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011:
1.
|
The Company granted 50 million options to two creditors and modified the terms on an existing 10 million stock options to one of those creditors.
|
2.
|
On January 3, 2011, the Company was granted an increase in its line of credit borrowing limit from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. In exchange for providing the increased borrowing limit, the Creditor granted 20,000,000 stock options of the Company exercisable at $0.05 per share expiring November 29, 2015. The fair value of these options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $995,065
|
3.
|
Also as consideration for providing this additional financing, the Company modified the terms of 10,000,000 stock options granted to the Creditor on March 7, 2010 and previously modified August 8, 2010. The terms have been modified as follows:
|
·
|
Increased the number of stock options granted from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000
|
·
|
Reduced the exercise price of the 20,000,000 stock options granted from $0.10 per share to $0.05 per share.
|
The fair value of the modified options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $995,065. The Company had originally recorded $409,512 (at grant) during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and recorded additional compensation expense of $87,247 (upon modification) relating to these options during the third quarter of 2011. Therefore, the Company recognized an additional $498,306 during that period.
4.
|
On March 6, 2011, the Company granted 20,000,000 stock options exercisable at $0.125 per share, expiring March 5, 2016. Such options will vest on the basis of eight (8) options for each one ($1.00) dollar borrowed under the line of credit to meet the costs of the sales and marketing program. The Company valued the stock-based compensation resulting from this grant at $2,400,000. No stock options vested on this line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
|
5.
|
The Company borrowed $500,000 for the sales and marketing program against the $2.5M line of credit. As a result of this borrowing, 4,000,000 stock options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These four million stock options had a calculated fair value of $479,765 using the Black-Scholes model.
|
6.
|
The Company borrowed $147,000 for the sales and marketing program from the $2.5M line of credit. As a result of this borrowing, approximately 1,177,000 stock options vested during the three months ended September 30, 2011. These 1,177,000 stock options had a calculated fair value of $141,178 using the Black-Scholes model.
|
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012:
1.
|
On June 27, 2012, the 20,000,000 stock options granted to the Chairman on March 6, 2011 were modified as follows:
|
a.
|
All stock options remaining unvested were immediately vested
|
b.
|
The exercise price was reduced from $0.125 per share to $0.07 per share
|
c.
|
The compensation expense related to the vesting of the options was $1,252,386 and related to the medication of stock options was $1,280.
|
2.
|
Furthermore, on June 27, 2012, the Company granted the Chairman 15,750,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.07 per share and expiry date on March 6, 2016. The compensation expense related to these stock options was $1,130,988.
|
3.
|
On June 27, 2012, the 1,000,000 stock options issued to an officer of the Company on May 4, 2011 were modified to reduce the exercise price from $0.20 per share to $0.07 per share. The modification resulted in an insignificant change in compensation expense.
|
4.
|
On June 27, 2012, the 100,000 stock options issued to a consultant on May 4, 2011, were modified to reduce the exercise price from $0.20 per share to $0.07 per share. The modification resulted in an insignificant change in compensation expense.
|
5.
|
On June 27, 2012, the Company granted 700,000 to five consultants with exercise prices of $0.07 per share, expiring on June 27, 2017. Of the 700,000 stock options, 500,000 stock options vest on the grant date and 200,000 have the following vesting terms:
|
a.
|
100,000 vest on May 28, 2013; and
|
b.
|
100,000 vest on May 29, 2014
|
6.
|
On August 15, 2012, a creditor and relative of a Director and Officer exercised 20,000,000 stock options at an exercise of $0.05 per share, which the Company applied against accrued interest due and payable to the creditor on promissory notes and a line of credit.
|
7.
|
On August 20, 2012, the Company granted 500,000 stock options to two newly appointed directors of the Company with an exercise price of $0.06 per share and expiry date on August 16, 2017 and vesting immediately upon the grant date.

The decrease in interest payable of $487,565 is a result of the Company offsetting the exercise 20,000,000 stock options held by a creditor of the Company. All of the promissory notes and related interest payable are overdue.
The fluctuations in accounts payables occurred as part of operations.
The increase in the lines of credit payable of $1,338,054 is attributable to borrowings of
-
|
$1,191,069 to fund operations, product development activities, overhead and its sales and marketing program.
|
-
|
$146,985 of unpaid interest incurred on the principal of the borrowed amounts

Cash Proceeds from Financing Activities
Cash sourced by the Company from financing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $1,191,069 in comparison with $1,485,745 sourced during the same period last year. The funds sourced from lines of credit provided by Chairman of the Board and a relative of the Chairman of the Board. The loans received in 2012 and 2011 covered the operating, product development and market development requirements for the Company repaid certain advances and accounts payable.
Short and Long Term Liquidity
As of September 30, 2012, the Company does not have the current financial resources and committed financing to enable it to meet its administrative overhead, product development budgeted costs and debt obligations over the next 12 months.
All of the Company’s debt financing are due on demand or overdue. 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. The Company has faced litigation from creditors in the past and is currently being sued by one creditor. There is no assurance that additional creditors will not make claims against the Company 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.

The Company will continue to use the funds available from the line of credit to cover administrative overhead and product development requirements until such time it can establish cash flows from operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
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.
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this assessment, we found our internal and disclosure controls over financial reporting to be not effective for the following reasons:
1)
|
lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
|
2)
|
insufficient written policies and procedures for reporting requirements and accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and
|
While the Company is working to remedy these deficiencies as its business activities evolve, there were no changes in our internal or disclosure controls over financial reporting during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Incorporated by reference from our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2012.
