PART I
 
ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS.
 
Historical Overview
 
CareView Communications, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California in July 1997 under the name Purpose, Inc., changing its name to Ecogate, Inc. in April 1999.  In October 2007, the Company changed its name to CareView Communications, Inc. and in November 2007, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Nevada. (See Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto, Exhibits 3.0 through 3.11 inclusive, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)
 
From inception through September 28, 2007, the principal business of the Company (then known as Ecogate, Inc.) was the development of computer-controlled industrial ventilation systems.  In conjunction with the acquisition of CareView Communications, Inc., as outlined in the following paragraph, all of the assets and liabilities of Ecogate, Inc. were transferred to a Nevada corporation where the business of Ecogate, Inc. continued as a private company.
 
On September 28, 2007, Ecogate, Inc. entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “CareView Acquisition Agreement”) with CareView Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”), and the shareholders of CareView-TX, whereby Ecogate, Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CareView-TX in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 87,684,910 shares of Ecogate, Inc. (the “CareView Acquisition”).  Accordingly, CareView-TX became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ecogate, Inc. and the business of CareView-TX became the Company’s sole operating business and focus.   The CareView Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger. (See Securities Exchange Agreement, Exhibit 2.0, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
The Company developed a suite of products and hardware to help connect patients, families and health care providers through one easy-to-install and simple-to-use system (the “CareView System™”). The CareView System™ runs on each hospital’s coaxial cable television network that provides television signals to patient room; consequently, CareView’s network does not need to run on or through the hospital’s specific IT infrastructure, thereby requiring minimal Internet technology involvement on the part of the hospital. The Company’s proprietary, high-speed data network system may be deployed throughout a healthcare facility and will provide the facility with recurring revenue and infrastructure for future applications.  Real-time bedside and point-of-care video monitoring and recording improve efficiency while limiting liability, and entertainment packages and patient education enhance the patient’s quality of stay.  There is no capital expenditure by a subscribing hospital as CareView provides all hardware and installation of the CareView System™ in each room at no charge. Fees paid to CareView by each hospital consists of monthly service fees for each system installed (one per bed) and an additional rate for each nursing station monitor.  Additional shared revenue generated from entertainment services (MovieView®, NetView®, PatientView®, and BabyView®) purchased directly by patient consumers, are split between the hospital and CareView per the terms of each contract. CareView is dedicated to working with all types of hospitals, nursing homes, adult living centers and selected outpatient care facilities domestically and internationally.
 
On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Master Investment Agreement (the “Rockwell Agreement”) with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Rockwell”).  The Company will use the funds provided under the Rockwell Agreement to purchase the previously installed CareView Systems™ at two of its existing hospitals as well as to fund the purchase

and installation of additional CareView System™ equipment to complete the installations at the two facilities.  Upon completion, it is anticipated that there will be over 900 installations of the CareView System™ in the combined facilities. (See Business of Issuer, Joint Venture with Rockwell Holdings beginning at page 17 herein and Exhibits 10.44 through 10.53 inclusive, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)
 
As further described in Recent Events on page 44, the Company entered into a Master Agreement with Hospital Management Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HMA”) on March 8, 2011, under which HMA will use the CareView System™ in each of its approximately 59 hospitals across the U.S.
 
Bankruptcy Proceedings During the Past Five Years
 
Our Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding, and, except as set forth herein, we have not had or been party to any material reclassifications, mergers or consolidations during the previous five (5) years.
 
Business of Issuer
 
CareView offers a unique system that connects patients, families and healthcare providers (the “CareView System™”).  Our mission is to be the leading provider of products and on-demand application services for the healthcare industry, specializing in bedside video monitoring, archiving and patient care documentation systems.  Through the use of telecommunications technology and the Internet, our products and on-demand services will greatly increase the access to quality medical care and education for both consumers and healthcare professionals.  CareView is dedicated to working with all types of hospitals, nursing homes, adult living centers and selected outpatient care facilities domestically and internationally.
 
The CareView System™ provides secure real-time and recorded video monitoring of patients as well as other value-added services.  The easy-to-install CareView System™ runs over a hospital’s existing cable television infrastructure and includes the Room Control Platform (RCP), head-end and nurse’s station equipment, and a suite of complementary software applications.   The CareView Systems™ is comprised of the following unique equipment:
 
 
Head-End:  This collection of server and networking equipment facilitates the CareView network in the hospital and serves as the aggregation point for all real-time video and patient data.  The head-end is typically located in the server room of the hospital and one head-end is typically required per campus.
 
 
Nursing Station:  The CareView System™ provides nurses an all-in-one touch-screen computer for viewing real-time video and clinical monitoring of patients.
 
 
Room Control Platform: One RCP is deployed per patient bed. The RCP is a microprocessor-based system consisting of a hard disk drive, cable modem, NTSC infrared camera and related controls, microphone, USB ports, wireless keyboard and wireless remote control. The complementary suite of software applications on the RCP are designed to streamline workflow and improve value-added services offered.
 
Our proprietary, high-speed data network system allows real-time bedside and point-of-care video monitoring and recording designed to improve efficiency while limiting liability of the healthcare provider.  The entertainment packages and patient education enhance the patient’s quality of stay.  This technology may also act as an interface gateway for other software systems and medical devices going forward.

CareView understands the importance of providing high quality patient care in a safe environment and believes in partnering with hospitals to improve the quality of patient care and safety by providing a system that monitors and records continuously.  We are committed to providing an affordable video monitoring tool to improve the practice of nursing and create a better work environment and to make the patient’s hospital stay more informative and satisfying.
 
Equipment and System Installation Overview
 
Head-End
 
The Head-End is comprised of a server, cable modem termination system, firewall, switch and uninterruptible power supply and refers to the central location where the below-referenced equipment is housed, usually the server room.  Frequently, equipment may reside in two locations; the server room and the cable demarcation point. One head-end is required per hospital campus; although a multi-campus hospital group may be served by using one full head-end combined with one or more Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS), as more fully described below.
 
 
Servers:  The CareView System™ employs two servers:  the video gateway and the application server.  Both are identical servers with each being able to provide the services of the other in the case of a failure.  The servers we deploy are a mid-level enterprise server positioned for low power usage and high performance.  These servers are typically two rack unit servers with moderate storage capabilities with the processing power to handle hundreds of RCPs and dozens of web-based clients (located at nursing stations or other areas in the hospital).  CareView installs the servers in a CareView provided rolling rack, or if requested, can install them in the hospital’s existing data rack.
 
 
Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS):  The CMTS acts as a network bridge between the Ethernet network (which all of the servers, nursing stations and end users are connected to) and the hybrid fiber/coaxial (HFC) cable network (which extends into each room to provide cable TV).  The CMTS allows the RCPs, with their embedded cable modems, to communicate on the data network over the television cable in patient rooms.  The CMTS resides near the cable demarcation point, or must have cable run to connect the demarcation point with a sufficiently cooled room which houses the CMTS.   Typically, one hospital installation requires only one CMTS; however, occasionally a hospital will have an additional campus connected with a high-speed private data network, allowing implementation using an additional CMTS, but with no additional servers.
 
 
Firewall:  The firewall provides the CareView System™ with secure Internet connectivity and resides in the server room.  The CareView System™ uses this Internet connectivity to remotely manage all hospital installations through the firewall, to provide remote software upgrade service, and to provide services for NetView® and PatientView®, as more fully described herein.
 
 
Switch:  The Ethernet switch provides network connectivity between the servers, CMTS, firewall, and hospital data network.  CareView deploys one switch in the hospital server room.
 
 
7

 
 
 
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS):  If the hospital’s server room does not provide adequate room-level backup power, CareView will deploy one UPS for the hospital’s server room.
 
Pricing on components of the Head-End vary depending on manufacturer, quantity purchased, and price concessions negotiated on each purchase order.
 
Nursing Station
 
The CareView Nursing Station is the primary user interface for medical staff at the hospital.  Nurses interact with the all-in-one touch screen to operate CareView’s NurseView®, Virtual Bed Rails™, and Ulcer Management Program™.  One computer is deployed per nursing station.
 
Room Control Platform
 
The RCP is a microprocessor-based system consisting of a hard-disk drive, cable modem, NTSC infrared camera and related control, microphone, USB ports, wireless keyboard and wireless remote control.  It allows real-time bedside and point-of-care video monitoring and recording designed to improve efficiency while limiting liability for healthcare facilities.  CareView uses contract manufacturers to assemble the RCP.
 
Installation
 
All components are either built to the Company’s specifications or altered at the Company’s facilities prior to deployment.  A typical system containing two servers, CMTS, firewall, switch, UPS, Nursing Stations, and RCP take a two-man team approximately 4½ hours to install.
 
Our Service Offerings
 
CareView offers several unique services designed to meet hospital needs.  In addition to enhancing quality care, the Company’s services are offered with no capital expenditure by the hospital and do not interfere with the facility’s current management information system.   The CareView System™ is the next generation of patient care monitoring. The CareView System™ is a secure, real-time video-monitoring system that connects the patient to the nursing station for continual observation by the nursing staff while recording all movement within the patient’s room for the length of the patient’s stay.
 
The proprietary services offerings of the CareView System™ provide:
 
 
Doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers with the ability to more efficiently and cost-effectively monitor, treat and visit their patients.
 
Family members and friends with the ability to use the Internet to monitor, correspond with, and visit with their loved ones in hospitals and nursing homes.
 
Patients and their visitors with direct access to on-demand high-speed Internet and other digital entertainment products and services in their rooms.
 
Facilities with the ability to implement audit tools to insure quality standards are being adhered to, safety measures are being complied with and both can be used to further educate caregivers to continually enhance quality and safety.
 
A fall prevention system – Virtual Bed Rails™.

The CareView System™, which is fully compliant with the government mandated Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPPA”), can be easily configured to meet the individual privacy and security requirements of any hospital or nursing facility. This patient approved video record can be part of the patient’s medical file and serve as additional documentation of care/procedures performed, patient and hospital ancillary activity, incident documentation, support for clinical and support services, and if necessary, evidence.  Through continued investment in video patient care monitoring, CareView is helping hospitals and nursing homes build a safer, higher quality healthcare delivery system that best serves the patient while striving for the highest levels of satisfaction and comfort.
 
The Company currently offers the following services: SecureView®, NurseView®, PhysicianView®, Virtual Bed Rails™, PatientView®, NetView®, MovieView®, FacilityView®, BabyView® and EquipmentView®.  There is no other product currently available that offers all of these important capabilities in one package.  The Company is committed to becoming a leading information technology provider to the healthcare industry.
 
The Company offers the CareView System™ in its Primary Package, Shared Revenue Package, and Connectivity Package as outlined below.
 
Primary Package
 
The Company’s Primary Package provides nursing staff the ability to monitor patients from the nursing station on a continuous basis, eliminating the need for countless trips to a patient’s room, while prompting important visits to patients who need immediate attention.  This package allows physicians to visit their patients remotely at times when they are unable to make a personal visit. The benefits of the Primary Package are (i) increased efficiency of nursing staff, (ii) greater access for physicians, (iii) enhanced quality of care, and (iv) improved patient safety.  Risk management and risk financing are both positively impacted by the continuous observation, monitoring and recording of all activities in patients’ rooms, making  a convenient and necessary video incident report readily available.
 
The Primary Package usually includes SecureView®, NurseView®, PhysicianView®, and Virtual Bed Rails™.
 
SecureView® is a unique video monitoring system that offers comprehensive patient attention with documentation and recording of all activity in patients’ room, ancillary departments, waiting rooms, hallways, stairwells, back doors, inventory areas and parking lots. SecureView® takes the guess work and uncertainty out of patient care and safety.
 
SecureView®:
 
      Offers comprehensive patient attention with documentation and recording of all in-room activity.
      Provides risk managers with a “Video Incident Report.”
      Provides a thorough recorded documentation of patient care which will eliminate the need to fund frivolous claims.

      Documents and records the provision of care, administration of drugs, nursing visits, housekeeping service, dietary delivery and patient movements.
      Provides enhanced patient safety.
      Provides a record of “Best Practice.”1
 
NurseView® is an effective remote monitoring tool designed to create a more effective and efficient hospital environment.  It provides the nursing staff the ability to (i) continually monitor multiple patients at once, (ii) see what is happening in each patient’s room, and (iii) view recorded observations should documentation become necessary.
 
NurseView®:
 
      Provides a continual observation and monitoring system for nurses.
      Provides a room security system.
      Provides a documentation system of patient care.
      Provides constant visual contact and reduces unnecessary trips to a patient’s room.

      Provides remote monitoring features that enhance patient care by:
      Alerting nurses to patient movement thereby protecting an unsecured patient.
      Giving nurses visual confirmation that bed rails are in their proper position.
    Creating a team nursing concept – one nurse stays at the nursing station to monitor rooms while another provides a rapid response to a patient’s need.
 
PhysicianView® enables physicians to make E-visits and video rounds from any personal computer or personal digital assistant (PDA).  PhysicianView® provides more effective use of a physician’s time, improves quality and timeliness of patient care, and provides physicians with a reimbursable event.  The CareView System™ accommodates this type of two-way communication between physician and patient, providing the physician with a “paid office visit” even when treating the patient from a remote location.
 
PhysicianView®:
 
●      Allows physicians to make video rounds remotely from any computer or PDA.
●      Promotes immediate access to patients when they need it most.
●      Improves the quality and timeliness of patient care.
●      Provides physicians with the capability to leave notes for the patient’s family.
●      Increases physician-to-patient communication.
●      Provides doctors with a reimbursable event.
 
Virtual Bed Rails™ is a fall prediction system that monitors a patient’s activity while in bed and provides healthcare facilities with a management tool to review all patient falls, averted falls and response time to falls, and establishes a review tool to improve the hospital’s performance regarding risk of falls
 

1  “Best Practice” is a technique, method, process, activity, incentive, or reward that is believed to be more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc. when applied to a particular condition or circumstance. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. Best practices can also be defined as the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best results) way of accomplishing a task, based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people.
 
 
10

 
 
Once Virtual Bed Rails™ are engaged for a patient at high risk for a fall, the CareView System™ automatically identifies the particular patient/room within the system and creates an archive that specific patients have been so protected.  Should a protected patient fall, the hospital can easily identify these flagged patients and quickly review the incident to determine why the fall occurred.  Each facility can manage falls by reviewing the files of all or selected high risk patients that are being protected by Virtual Bed Rails™.
 
This user-friendly fall prevention program alerts nurses to patient movement and the need for quick intervention, and provides a real-time video image of the patient.  If the patient breaches the virtual bed rails, a fall alert is immediately transmitted to the healthcare professional at the nurse’s station. Virtual Bed Rails™ are actually ‘virtual’ no special sensors or additional equipment is required in the room and the bed rails are completely invisible to everyone except the person monitoring the patient.  Any defined movement that crosses over the virtual bed rail triggers an on-screen alarm to alert the nursing staff of the breach.
 
Virtual Bed Rails™:
 
      Alerts nursing staff of potential patient falls.
      Creates an opportunity for immediate intervention to prevent a fall.
      Improves safety of patients and saves lives.
 
Shared Revenue Package
 
Healthcare facilities are striving to create a positive experience for patients while they are confined to bed.   A patient’s stay can become more enjoyable through NetView®, MovieView®, and PatientView®, which offers entertainment and a connection to others.
 
The Shared Revenue Package usually includes PatientView®, NetView®, and MovieView®, and BabyView®.
 
PatientView® is a unique and innovative service that can be enjoyed by patients, friends and family.  This HIPPA-compliant feature allows a patient’s family and friends to remotely monitor the hospital stay and visit via live video and audio feed. It also provides a message board that can be used as a family communication network during the patient’s stay to provide HIPPA-compliant updates on the patient’s condition.
 
PatientView®:
 
      Enhances satisfaction of patients, families and friends.
      Allows family and friends to monitor the patient’s recovery from any computer.
      Provides a message board with updated patient condition.
      Increases safety and security.
      Provides peace of mind for the patient and family.
 
NetView® and MovieView® provide patients and visitors the ability to stay informed, keep in touch and be entertained using a wireless keyboard and the television in the patient’s room.  It enables the delivery of patient-specific education, content and digital entertainment products, services and advertising. Each healthcare facility has the ability to fully customize the look and feel of the TV screen for individual branding.

Connectivity Package
 
Once available, the Connectivity Package is anticipated to include EquipmentView™, FacilityView®, RFID Tracking (“Radio Frequency Identification Tracking”), and Wi-Fi.
 
EquipmentView™ will enable CareView’s RCP to wirelessly communicate with equipment, appliances and devices in the patient’s room and with other Company applications and healthcare information systems using Bluetooth, 802.11, infrared or RFID technology.  This feature will allow nurses the ability to see all patient readouts and assess all clinical indictors on one screen from the nursing station.  Quick, complete access to this information for multiple patients will greatly improve care and save lives.
 
FacilityView® will act as the security surveillance system providing access to live video feeds throughout the facility wherever a CareView camera is located (except for patient rooms).  All privacy and access options will be determined and configured by the hospital.
 
RFID Tracking will enable the CareView System™ to locate the hospital’s assets and/or patients throughout the facility.
 
The entire hospital will be able to access the Internet wirelessly through a Wi-Fi network in the CareView System™.
 
Private Hospital Network
 
The CareView System™ provides healthcare facilities the opportunity to have their own private cable network with no capital investment and the opportunity to develop another profit center.
 
When the CareView System™ is activated for the patient, they will be shown a greeting message from the hospital’s CEO and a short orientation of the facility through an existing commercial, slide show or movie.  Additional items, such as room service menus, calendar of events, patient/guest guides and even ordering through the gift shop, can be linked through the CareView System™.
 
The CareView System™ also assists patients as they get ready to leave by providing them valuable information regarding follow-up care and provides feedback to the facility regarding their stay through a Satisfaction Survey.  Patients can be provided discharge instructions (such as diets, E-scripts, and follow-up appointments), and receive a message from hospital management or their personal physician.  The system can also send an e-mail to family and friends announcing the discharge.

Revenue Streams
 
The CareView System™ is provided and installed in healthcare facilities at no charge to the facility after which the Company generates revenue from subscriptions to its services. CareView works with each hospital on pricing, which in the opinion of CareView and the hospital, would offer an affordable package based on the demographics of the hospital’s patients or which offers the hospital a product that is more competitive than other hospitals. The pricing structure with each hospital is negotiated separately and may vary depending on the hospital’s desire to include any premium services to its patient at no charge to the patient. Typically, the Company offers the Primary Package (including SecureView®, NurseView®, PhysicianView®, Virtual Bed Rail™ and education programming) for a price of $69.95 per installed room/per month to be paid by the hospital. The Shared Revenue Package (PatientView®, MovieView®, BabyView® and NetView®) is generally offered to the patient at a price of $9.95 per 24-hour period. The hospital may elect to charge a package price for all services for any combination of days, including a package for the patient’s entire stay.  Each facility may decide to bundle products for specialty pricing to the patients or may offer any or all services at no charge to the patient. The Company has not yet established pricing for the Connectivity Package, but anticipates that fees for this service will be negotiated as an add-on to the Primary Package.
 
Products in Development
 
The Company has several product offerings in development including:
 
 
A third generation Room Control Platform (the “Generation 3 RCP”):  The Generation 3 RCP will incorporate a much higher percentage of proprietary design.  The present RCP uses several third party modules which develops a level of dependence on these third party modules and their suppliers.  The Generation 3 RCP will incorporate a Compress design to eliminate the variances which can be introduced by third party suppliers.  The Generation 3 RCP will have a 7-year parts life guarantee by all of the major component manufacturers to ensure consistency in manufacturing for at least that 7-year period.  In addition, the Generation 3 RCP will be physically smaller in size which will reduce the cost of the unit.  The Generation 3 RCP is tentatively scheduled for production in the third quarter of 2011.
 
 
Ulcer Management Module:  The ulcer management software is presently in beta testing trials and the Company anticipates a commercial roll out in the second half of 2011.   This module uses proprietary and patent pending techniques to detect if a patient has moved sufficiently as to relieve pressure areas susceptible to decubitus ulcers.  The module works in concert with our Virtual Bed Rails™ system to alert healthcare employees of the need to turn a patient in a timely manner.  The algorithms used detect the motion of a patient even while covered with bed linens. The system remains silent if the patient has moved enough to comply with the maximum times established by the industry to prevent bed sores.  In the event the patient has not moved to a sufficient degree, the system will alarm the healthcare professional to turn the patient. Additionally, the module will document the procedure through both the data base and video recordings.
 
 
Patient Activity Board:  The Patient Activity Board is a large screen flat panel monitor mounted in areas of the hospital where white boards are currently used. A great deal of manpower is needed to update these white boards on each floor.  As currently installed CareView Systems™ are networked over the hospital’s coaxial cable, the Patient Activity Board is easily deployable at significantly reduced costs to running new cabling to the monitors.  The Patient Activity Board is ready for immediate deployment.

Device for Chinese Medical Industry to monitor vital signs:  In cooperation with Weigao Holding on a Chinese joint venture, CareView has begun development on a module to monitor and record patients’ blood pressure, pulse, ECG and heart rate.  This device will interface with the CareView System™ to deliver this information to a nursing station and will alert nurses in the event a patient’s vitals fall outside of a given set of parameters. This device is being developed specifically for the Chinese market due to high ratio of patients to nurses.  We anticipate that this device will be ready for delivery by the end of the third quarter of 2011.
 
 
RFID:  Presently CareView has been testing several RFID products from various manufacturers to be used in connection with the CareView System™.  It is CareView’s intent to offer its customers a third party RFID solution tied to the CareView System™.  As the infrastructure of the CareView System™ will already be in place at each hospital, this approach will allow CareView to provide the service at a greatly reduced price to the hospital versus the hospital contracting directly with other firms in the RFID business.  This RFID product is scheduled for an in-hospital beta test in the first half of 2011.
 
Hospital Agreements
 
The Company offers its products and services for the CareView System™ through a subscription-based and/or shared revenue-pricing agreement with the medical facility (the “Hospital Agreement”). During the term of the Hospital Agreement, the Company provides continuous monitoring of the CareView System™ and maintains and services all CareView System™ equipment.  Terms of each Hospital Agreement requires the hospital to pay CareView a monthly subscription fee based on the number of installed rooms for the Primary Package (which includes SecureView®, NurseView®, PhysicianView®, Virtual Bed Rails™, and patient education) provided at a current price of $69.95 per bed per room. Terms also provide for CareView to collect the revenue from its Shared Revenue Package (which includes PatientView®, NetView®, MovieView® and BabyView®) currently priced at $9.95 for each 24-hour period and is split on a contracted basis between the Company and each hospital. Unless a separate agreement to the contrary is negotiated between CareView and the hospital, all shared revenue is collected from the patient or someone connected to the patient by CareView online through a credit card or PayPal transaction.  CareView then remits the portion due to the hospital on a monthly basis. None of the services provided through the Primary Package or the Shared Revenue Package are paid by any third party provider including insurance companies, Medicare or Medicaid.
 
CareView’s Hospital Agreements are usually for a five (5) year period with a provision for automatic renewal on its anniversary date for each successive year unless CareView receives written notice of termination from the medical facility within thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date.  CareView owns all right, title, and interest in and to the CareView equipment installed at each location and agrees to maintain and repair all equipment, although CareView may charge for repairs or replacements due to damage or misuse. CareView is not responsible for maintaining data arising from use of the CareView System™ or for transmission errors, corruption or compromise of data carried over local or interchange telecommunication carriers.  CareView maintains the right to insert two (2) channels onto the medical facilities’ network to support education and marketing of the CareView System™ and will have the right to transmit data to further the education and marketing features of the CareView System™.  Subject to other terms of the Hospital Agreement, CareView grants each medical facility a limited, revocable, non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use the software, network facilities, content and documentation on and in the CareView System™ to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to access, explore and otherwise use the CareView System™ in real time.  Such non-exclusive license expires upon termination of the Hospital Agreement. (See form of Products and Services Agreement (a/k/a Hospital Agreement), Exhibit 10.01, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
 
14

 
 
The Company’s current Hospital Agreements cover eleven (11) hospitals with an aggregate of approximately 3,250 beds of which 1,500 beds have already been installed.  In addition, the terms of the recently signed Master Agreement with HMA calls for a Hospital Agreement to be executed with each of HMAs approximately 59 hospitals for an aggregate of approximately 8,900 beds.
 
Availability of Suppliers
 
The Company is not dependent on, nor expects to become dependent on, any one or a limited number of suppliers. The Company buys parts and components to assemble its equipment and products. The Company does not manufacture or fabricate its own products or systems. The Company relies on sub-suppliers and third party vendors to procure and/or fabricate its components based on its design, engineering and specifications. The Company also enters into subcontracts for field installation of the CareView System™, which the Company supervises. The Company manages all technical, physical and commercial aspects of the performance of its contracts with sub-suppliers and third party vendors. The Company has experienced no difficulties in obtaining fabricated components, materials and parts or in identifying qualified subcontractors for installation work.
 
Sales, Marketing and Customer Service
 
The Company does not consider its business to be seasonal.  The Company generates sale leads through a variety of means including direct one-to-one marketing, E-campaigns, customer and industry referrals, strategic partnerships, and trade shows and events.  The Company’s sales team consists of highly trained sales professionals with many years of experience in the hospital and nursing home markets.  The Company’s selling methodology focuses on the following factors:
 
       significant and tangible cost savings,
       reducing Never Events2,
       improved documentation, quality and timeliness of patient care,
       enhanced safety and security,
       support for new technologies,
       business growth,
       return on investment (ROI),  and
       enhanced patient satisfaction.
 
Our initial focus is to pursue large for-profit hospital management companies that own multiple facilities and large not-for-profit integrated delivery networks in major metropolitan areas.  Our sales staff approaches decision makers for hospitals and nursing homes to present and demonstrate the CareView product line.  We believe that our sales staff will monitor our current existing relationships and develop new ones through referral, prospecting and networking. We provide our sales staff with prospective targets and set quarterly goals.
 

2The term “Never Event” was first introduced in 2001 by Ken Kizer, MD, former CEO of the National Quality Forum (NQF), in reference to particularly shocking medical errors (such as wrong-site surgery) that should never occur. Over time, the list has been expanded to signify adverse events that are unambiguous (clearly identifiable and measurable), serious (resulting in death or significant disability), and usually preventable. The NQF initially defined 27 such events in 2002 and revised and expanded the list in 2006. The list is grouped into six event categories: surgical, product or device, patient protection, care management, environmental, and criminal.

We will support both direct and indirect channel sales with a comprehensive range of product marketing, pre-sales and marketing communications services.  These services are provided by a mix of internal staff and outsourced creative, media and consulting firms.  Specific responsibilities include:
 
       providing a low cost entry, revenue sharing strategy to ultimately position CareView as a profit center for our clients;
       providing sales ROI analysis tools, training, materials, product demonstrations and account specific support;
       effectively promoting the CareView System™ through our corporate website, product collateral, articles and white papers;
       participating in trade shows, keynote speaking engagements, key analyst events, user groups and partner events; and
       leveraging the vast industry contacts of our Chairman, the Honorable Tommy G. Thompson.
 
In addition to favorable economics and enhanced patient care, safety and satisfaction, the Company also competes on the basis of quality of services provided.  Management believes that the shared revenue opportunity will (i) prompt each healthcare facility to promote patients’ use of NetView®, MovieView®, and PatientView®, and (ii) encourage the hospital to expand its use of pre-procedure and condition videos, welcome videos, surveys, and E-scripting and E-Scheduling services.
 
The Company insures high levels of customer service by focusing efforts to provide both automated and personal assistance for every issue the customer may encounter when using the CareView System™.

Joint Venture with Rockwell Holdings
 
On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Master Investment Agreement (the “Rockwell Agreement”) with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Rockwell”).  The Company will use the funds provided under the joint venture to purchase the previously installed CareView Systems™ at two of its existing hospitals as well as to fund the purchase and installation of additional CareView System™ equipment to complete the installations at the two facilities.  Upon completion, it is anticipated that there will be over 900 installations of the CareView System™ in the combined facilities.
 
Under the terms of the Master Investment Agreement, the Company will use funds from Rockwell to fully implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hillcrest”) and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas (“Saline”) (the “Project Hospital(s)”).
 
The Master Investment Agreement provides that the Company and Rockwell will establish an entity for each Project Hospital (the “Project LLC”) and that:
 
(i)    The Company will assign its hospital contracts to the Project LLC,
 
(ii)   The Company will provide the Project LLC with a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license of intellectual property rights to enable the Project LLC to use the intellectual property needed to operate the CareView Systems™ in each Project Hospital,
 
(iii)  The Company will sell all of the existing CareView Systems™ in the Project Hospitals to the Project LLC,
 
(iv)  The Company will acquire, install, set-up and then sell and maintain, on behalf of the Project LLC, all equipment and other personal property necessary for the operation of the CareView Systems™ at each Project Hospital, and
 
(v)   The Project LLC will grant a security interest to Rockwell in all equipment, fixtures, and inventory, among other things, as collateral for payment of the Project Note, as described below.
 
The structure of the agreement between Rockwell and the Company is in the form of a Project LLC for each of the Project Hospitals.  Both Rockwell and the Company own 50% of each Project LLC.  CareView contributed its intellectual property rights and its hospital contract with each Project Hospital. 
 
 
17

 
 
Rockwell contributed cash to be used for the purchase of equipment for the Project LLCs with 50% attributed to a Note bearing interest at 10% and 50% attributed to a member’s equity. The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay Rockwell a Preferential Return (the amount of Rockwell’s aggregate capital contribution to the Project LLCs plus ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded annually.  Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 480-10-65 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classified this obligation as a mandatory redemption since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return on each Project LLC.
 
Pursuant to ASC 810-10-15, the Company determined that the Project LLCs were within the scope of the variable interest entities (VIE) subsection of the codification.  We determined the LLC to be a VIE based on the fact that the total equity investment at risk was not sufficient to finance the entities activities without additional financial support.  Based on the guidance under ASC 810-10-15-14, the contribution by Rockwell was determined not to be an equity investment because equity investments are interests that are required to be recorded as equity in the entities financial statements.  The loans are secured by a security interest in all of the equipment in the Project Hospitals, intellectual property rights, and the Project Hospital Contract.
 
Each Project LLC is governed by an Operating Agreement under which the Company and Rockwell are its initial members, each owning 50% of the outstanding ownership units.  Pursuant to Section 301 – Management of the Operating Agreement for each of CareView-Hillcrest and CareView-Saline, the Company is the Manager for each.  The Company, as Manager, has the authority to supervise, manage and control the business affairs and property of the Project LLCs, and to perform any and all acts or activities reasonably customary or incidental to the management of the Project LLCs. The Company also has the authority to sign all agreements, contracts and other instruments and documents that are necessary or appropriate in the ordinary course of the Project LLC’s regular business. In addition, As Manager, the Company has established power over key activities, is responsible for the procurement, installation, set-up and maintenance of the CareView Systems™ installed in the Project LLCs, and is responsible for receiving and distributing revenues from each Project LLC.
 
Pursuant to ACS 810-10, the Company has a controlling financial interest in the LLC based on the fact that as Manager, CareView has the power to direct the entity’s activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance and has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Accordingly, we determined that the Company is the Primary Beneficiary, and have eliminated all intra-company accounts and transactions in consolidation.
 
Further we evaluated Rockwell’s rights under the agreements, to determine if they had any participating rights that would overcome our requirement of consolidation.  Based on the following, we deemed the rights held by Rockwell to be protective rights which did not override the consolidation presumption.  There is no separate management agreement for the Project LLCs.  The Manager and the duties of the Manager are set forth in Article II of the Operating Agreement for each Project LLC.  The Project LLCs each have two members, the Company and Rockwell.  Each of the Company and Rockwell has one vote for all matters requiring a vote.  The Operating Agreement for each Project LLC names the Company as the Manager and lists its duties.  Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Manager, the following actions may only be taken if approved by the Members:  (i) amendment to the agreement or articles, (ii) issuance of more than the number of authorized units, (iii) discontinuation of the project or dissolution of the LLC, (iv) sale or disposition of substantially all of the Project LLC’s assets, (v) a merger, consolidation or reorganization, (vi) conversion of the LLC to a corporation, (vii) admission of new members, (viii) borrowing of funds other than the Project Loan, (ix) expenditures of more than
 
 
18

 
 
$20,000, (x) amendment of contract with project hospitals, (xi) establishing amount of cash flow to be maintained, (xii) amending any agreement between the LLC and the Company, or (xiii) changing disposition of funds pursuant to the escrow agreement.  The Operating Agreement provides that the Company shall serve as Manager until removed or replaced by a vote of the members.  As Rockwell and the Company are the only members of the LLCs, the Company cannot be removed as Manager through a unilateral decision of Rockwell.
 
Rockwell provided $1,151,205 as the initial funding including $932,745 for the Hillcrest Project Hospital and $218,460 for the Saline Project Hospital, which funding was confirmed in a Funding Agreement entered into between the Company and Rockwell.  The Funding Agreement anticipates future funding as provided for in the Master Investment Agreement upon completion of the Project Hospitals.  An aggregate of $575,603 of the initial funding was credited to Project Notes for Rockwell; $466,373 for CareView-Hillcrest and $109,230 for CareView-Saline.  An aggregate of $575,603 was credited to an investment interest of Rockwell (Rockwell’s Preferential Return); $466,373 for CareView-Hillcrest and $109,230 for CareView-Saline.  The Project Notes to Rockwell and Rockwell’s Preferential Returns both earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
 
As additional consideration to Rockwell for providing the funding, the Company has agreed that upon completion of the Project Hospitals it will issue Rockwell a common stock purchase warrant (“Project Warrant”) granting Rockwell one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for each dollar of funding received for the Project Hospitals.  The five-year Project Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.52 per share.  On November 16, 2009, the Company recorded the issuance of 1,151,205 Warrants valued at $1,124,728.  The Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the Rockwell Agreement using a term of five (5) years; volatility of 89.21%; risk free rate of 2.19%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  The Project Warrants were analyzed for classification and were included in additional paid in capital on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company allocated the proceeds to the Project Warrants and the Project Notes or Preferential Returns based on the relative fair value.  Debt discount of $636,752 will be amortized over the life of the debt, and recorded as interest expense in other income (expense) on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  As any additional funding is provided, the Company will calculate for any additional Project Warrants due.
 
Once the full funding has been provided by Rockwell upon completion of the installations at the Project Hospitals, each Project LLC will replace the earlier Project Note with an amended and restated Project Note representing the outstanding balance due under the earlier Project Note plus any additional funding credited to the Project Note, which amended and restated Project Note will earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Principal payments commence on the earlier to occur of the date that monthly Primary Package fees first become payable by each Project Hospital or six months from the date of the original Project Note; provided, however, that the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest of a Project Note shall be paid in full on or before the third anniversary of the date that payments commenced thereunder.
 
Based on contractual revenue as of December 31, 2010, the Company estimated the current portion of the each Project Note, and recorded it accordingly.
 
Pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreements for the Project Hospitals, revenues generated from the sale of the Primary Package (“Primary Package Revenues”) are distributed as follows: (i) one-half toward payment of the Rockwell Note until paid in full, and (ii) one-half toward payment of Rockwell’s Preferential Return until paid in full.  Once the Rockwell Note and Preferential Return have been paid in full, Primary Package Revenues are distributed as follows: (i) first, to the payment and/or reimbursement to the Hospital of the amounts the Hospital is entitled to receive pursuant to the Contract; (ii) second, to the payment to Rockwell of the Legal Fee Reimbursement (as provided for and defined in the Master
 
 
19

 
 
Investment Agreement), (iii) third, to the payment of expenses of the Company and debt service on loans; and (iv)fourth, to the maintenance of reserves that are adequate (as determined by the Members) for working capital, property replacement reserves and current or budgeted capital expenditures; and (v) then, to the making of guaranteed payments to Members, including but not limited to the payment of any current or accrued obligations to the Company for its services as provided for in the Project Services Subcontract Agreement (as referred to in the Master Investment Agreement).  Any cash remaining from the Primary Package Revenues after the satisfaction of all of the above provisions shall be distributed to the Company and Rockwell in proportion to the ownership of each.
 
The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10-65 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classified this obligation as a mandatory redemption since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return on each Project LLC.
 
As Primary Beneficiary, the Company uses consolidation rules to record 100% of the activities from each joint venture, thereafter distributing the revenues on the agreed upon basis to the LLC members.  Revenues earned through the Project Hospitals are generated from monthly charges paid by each hospital for the Primary Package on installed CareView Systems™ and from purchase of entertainment products by patients.  Payments of revenues from each Project Hospital are deposited into an escrow account jointly controlled by the Company and the Project LLC pursuant to the Project Escrow Agreement.  Once deposits into the escrow account are collected by the escrow agent, they are immediately transferred into a separate account in the name of the Project LLC.
 
The Master Investment Agreement includes provisions under which the Company may elect to purchase, for cash, Rockwell’s entire interest in each Project LLC at a pre-determined price based on annualized net cash flow from the Project Hospital plus the payment of any unpaid Preferential Return (if any) and the estimated amount of any additional distributions that would be payable from the Project LLC to Rockwell during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital.  In addition, upon the Company’s purchase of Rockwell’s interest in a Project LLC, the Company would have to pay the remaining balance due (if any) under the Project Note and any forgone interest under the Project Note that would have accrued during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital.  Additionally, there are provisions under which Rockwell may elect, if the Project Note has been paid and Rockwell has received its Preferential Return, to require the Company to purchase its entire interest in each Project LLC based on a pre-determined percentage of the annualized net cash flow of the Project Hospital.  If Rockwell makes that election, the Company may chose to fund the purchase with a five-year promissory note bearing interest at 10% per annum.  Rockwell was granted preferred investor status that provides, in the event that the Company funds similar projects through a different investor with more favorable terms, that Rockwell may elect to amend the terms of its existing project funding to be consistent with those more favorable terms.
 
Engagement of DLA Piper, LLP
 
On January 20, 2010, the Company engaged DLA Piper, LLP, a leading global business law firm (“DLA Piper”) to assist in developing and structuring a financial facility up to $50 million which would be secured by the stable revenue stream of CareView’s hospital contracts.  DLA Piper has and will continue to introduce the Company to suitable institutional investors with whom they have existing relationships in the structured finance arena. Although no financing has yet been secured through the introductions of DLA Piper, the Company and DLA Piper are continuing negotiations to that end.

Lease Line of Credit with Fountain Fund 2 LP
 
On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of agreement with Fountain Fund 2 LP, managed by Fountain Partners of San Francisco (“Fountain”) for a lease line of credit for up to $5 million (the “Lease Line”).  Under the Lease Line, CareView agreed to lease installed CareView Systems™ from Fountain and repay the draws on the Lease Line over a period of three (3) years.  CareView and Fountain executed a Master Lease covering the installed CareView Systems™ which called for pre-determined monthly rental over a three-year period (the “Base Term”).
 
An origination fee of one percent (1%) of the lease schedule amount was due upon signing of each lease schedule.  The cost of equipment to Fountain was not to exceed $500,000 per month with each month carrying over to the next month if not used, unless the limit was waived by Fountain.  The draw window was open until December 5, 2010 (“Draw Window”).    CareView agreed to pay Fountain a deposit of two percent (2%) of the unused Lease Line amount and on January 29, 2010 and April 22, 2010, paid $20,000 and $80,000, respectively. Upon execution of the Lease Line, CareView issued a ten-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase a total of 450,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.52 per share. In association with the Lease Line, the Company paid Mann Equity, LLC a cash fee of $100,000 and issued a five-year Warrant to purchase 400,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.52. The Lease Line expired on December 5, 2010 without being renewed.  (See Master Lease, Exhibit 10.55, Cooperative Agreement with Mann Equity, LLC, Exhibit 10.38, and Addendum to Cooperative Agreement with Mann Equity, LLC, Exhibit 10.58, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)
 
Joint Venture in China with Weigao Holding Company Limited
 
On April 13, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with AFH Holdings and Advisory, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, Discovery Medical Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company and Mann Equity, LLC, a California limited liability company (deemed together to be the “LLC Parties”).  The purpose of the LOI was to introduce and negotiate a transaction with a target company doing business in The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, which target company was later identified as Weigao Holding Company Limited (“Weigao Holding”). The ultimate transaction would include a joint venture between Weigao Holding and CareView (the “China JV”) wherein CareView would agree to grant Weigao Holding an exclusive license to certain intellectual property, manufacturing rights, and guaranteed services to be provided by the Company relating to the CareView System™.  Under the terms of the LOI, CareView agreed to transfer to the LLC Parties a portion of its ownership in the China JV. (See Letter of Intent [with LLC Parties], Exhibit 10.57, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
On July 29, 2010, an Amendment Agreement was entered into between the Company and the LLC Parties amending and setting forth the applicable percentage of ownership interest and gross revenue sharing for each of CareView and the LLC Parties in CareView’s interest in the China JV wherein CareView will own 70% of its interest and each of the LLC Parties will own 10% of CareView’s interest in the China JV. (See Amendment Agreement [with LLC Parties], Exhibit 10.60, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
In connection with the services provided by the LLC Parties as outlined above, on May 26, 2010, the Company signed a letter of intent with Weigao Holding (the “Weigao LOI”) to enter into the proposed joint venture.  Weigao Holding claims to be the leading medical device manufacturer in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Upon the successful execution of definitive documents, Weigao Holding will hold an exclusive license to manufacture and distribute the CareView System™ in the PRC.   Both

CareView and Weigao Holding have identified the major need to improve the level of care in acute care medical facilities in the PRC. Of particular importance is the anticipated use of the EquipmentView® module of the CareView System™ that would allow Weigao Holding to significantly advance the level of care in the more than 8,800 medical facilities it services. The Weigao LOI provided for termination if definitive documents were not executed prior to August 1, 2010.  The Company and Weigao Holding subsequently agreed to extend that date until the later of January 1, 2011 or thirty (30) days after the completion of beta testing of units by Weigao in China.  Currently Weigao is testing twenty (20) units.  (See Letter of Intent with Weigao Holding, Exhibit 10.59, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement with T2 Consulting, LLC and Tommy G. Thompson
 
On February 28, 2005, the predecessor of CareView-TX, CareView Communications, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“CareView LLC”), entered into a Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with an entity to be known as T2 Consulting, LLC (“T2”), and the principals of T2, namely Tommy G. Thompson (“Thompson”), Gerald L. Murphy (“Murphy”), and Dennis Langley (“Langley”).  Under the Subscription Agreement, T2 purchased a 17% ownership interest in CareView LLC for $1,000 and also received an Adjusted Gross Income Interest entitling T2 to receive 5% of the adjusted gross income of CareView LLC (the “5% AGII”).  The 5% AGII was considered senior to any other priority or preference of any kind and at no time could be diluted.   The 5% AGII included 5% of (i) all revenue of any type or nature from whatever source received by CareView LLC and its subsidiaries; less (ii) pre-tax, non-debt service, payments to non-affiliates or employees of the company, cost of goods sold (and not general and administrative expenses).
 
Under the Subscription Agreement, Thompson agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of CareView LLC for an initial service period of February 28, 2005 through May 31, 2008 which service period would continue in an evergreen fashion for successive three year terms.  In addition to serving as Chairman, other responsibilities were to be provided by Thompson; however, he was not required to spend more than 25% of his business related time in his capacity as Chairman or by providing other services to CareView LLC.  As consideration for those services to be rendered under Article IV of the Subscription Agreement (the “Article IV Payments”), Thompson was to be paid an Annual Base Payment of not less than $300,000 of which $100,000 was to be paid directly to T2 and $200,000 was to be paid to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm with which Thompson is associated.  In addition to the Annual Base Payment, terms provided for Thompson to receive other perquisites and benefits comparable to CareView LLC senior executives, reimbursement of travel and related expenses, and reimbursement of legal fees and expenses in association with the preparation and closing of the Subscription Agreement.  Although Thompson began his service as Chairman, he was not required to provide any of the other services under the Subscription Agreement; however, neither he nor T2 would receive the Annual Base Payments or 5% AGII until the occurrence of two conditions subsequent to the Subscription Agreement; namely (i) the Company receiving financing and capitalization sufficient to adequately capitalize the Company, and (ii) the Company signing contracts with two federal hospitals and one private sector hospital.  Once the two subsequent conditions had been fulfilled, the amount of the Annual Base Payment would be retroactively applied from March 1, 2005 until the date of the fulfillment of the subsequent condition even though Thompson and T2 might not have provided services under the Subscription Agreement during that time.  If Thompson’s services as Chairman were terminated by CareView LLC, T2 would be paid a lump sum on the end date of the service period equal to two year’s worth of the Annual Base Payment in effect at the time of termination.

CareView LLC converted to a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and the Subscription Agreement was assigned and assumed by CareView-TX under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent (“Assumption Agreement”) dated October 29, 2007 between T2, Thompson, and CareView-TX.  In addition, the Assumption Agreement provided that the Article IV Payments were assigned to and assumed by Thompson personally.  Subsequently, Thompson waived the accrual and any past or future obligations of CareView-TX to pay the Article IV Payments.  (See Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent, Exhibit 10.08 and Letter of Waiver from Tommy G. Thompson, Exhibit 10.63, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)
 
On August 20, 2010, in an effort to resolve all past, current and future claims due pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into a Revocation and Substitution Agreement with T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley (the “Agreement”).  In exchange for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement by T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley, the Company agreed to issue to each of Thompson, Murphy, and Langley a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Company’s Board of Directors believes the Agreement is in the best interest of all of the shareholders of the Company and has determined that it is not necessary to obtain a ‘fairness’ opinion from an independent third-party.  (See Revocation and Substitution Agreement, Exhibit 10.64 (which incorporates the form of Warrant), which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
As additional consideration for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement with CareView-TX, Thompson, Murphy, and Langley will receive an aggregated 1.5% Gross Income Interest on all revenues (without deductions of any kind) of the Company and its subsidiaries, which income interest is retroactive to the date of the Subscription Agreement.  In connection with the income interest, the Company executed an Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest with each of Thompson, Murphy and Langley dated August 20, 2010.    The Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest does not have a termination date; however it does provide that the Company has the right to acquire the Gross Income Interest of Thompson, Murphy and Langley from September 1, 2013 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price and that Thompson, Murphy and Langley each have the right to require that their respective Gross Income Interest be purchased by the Company any time from September 1, 2011 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price.  Purchase Price means, absent an agreement between Thompson, Murphy or Langley and the Company to the contrary, at CareView’s election, either: i) a monetary amount equal to the aggregated Gross Income Interest received by either of Thompson, Murphy or Langley in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the sale, transfer or exchange, or ii) the payment of the monetary amount as determined in i) above in shares of CareView’s Common Stock at Fair Market Value. The Company has made a determination that the fair market value of the GII Owner’s Put is equal to the 1.5% earned each month for the twelve (12) month period preceding September 1, 2011, the first date at which the GII Owner’s Put can be exercised.  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, based on actual revenue for the months of September through December 2010 and estimated revenue for the months of January through August 2011, the Company recorded a liability for the GII Owner’s Put of $29,511 (the estimated fair market value of the GII Owner’s Put).  This liability will be analyzed and updated quarterly, based on actual revenues.  In an additional term in the Gross Income Interest agreement with Langley, the Company agreed that an affiliate of Langley shall be granted a distribution and sales agreement for the Company’s products for government entities in the U.S. including, but not limited to, HHS, VA, DOD and state and local governments.  Terms of the distribution agreement will be negotiated at a future date.  (See Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interests with Tommy G. Thompson, Exhibit 10.65, Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interests with Gerald L. Murphy, Exhibit 10.66, and Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interests with Dennis M. Langley, Exhibit 10.66, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)

On January 9, 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive, three-year Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Foundation Medical, LLC (“Foundation Medical”) to distribute the CareView System™ on the east coast of the United States.   Foundation Medical will also serve as CareView’s east coast representative for servicing of all CareView Systems™ installed in that region.  The territory covered under the Agreement includes the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.  The Agreement is automatically renewable for additional periods of one (1) year unless written notice not to renew is delivered between the parties thirty (30) days prior to the automatic renewal.

Installation and Technical Support
 
The Company provides installation and technical support for its customers through third-party providers across the United States on a per-job basis.
 
Manufacturers of Room Control Platforms
 
In September 2010, the Company chose Ricoh Electronics, Inc. (“Ricoh”) to be its U.S. based manufacturer.  Ricoh is one of over 272 domestic and overseas entities that comprise Ricoh Company, Ltd., a $21 billion global corporation and a leading supplier of advanced office automation equipment.  Ricoh will become the Company’s primary manufacturer for the CareView System™ Room Control Platform which it will produce in its Orange County, California plant.  Delivery of an initial 3,000 units is expected in the first quarter 2011.  Upon successful completion of this initial order, the Company anticipates that it will contract with Ricoh for additional units.  In addition to this new arrangement with Ricoh, CareView plans to maintain its relationship with its current contract manufacturer in Thailand for which it recently received 2,000 units.
 
Competition
 
Medical communications technology companies who provide concise and timely medical information to healthcare facilities and their staffs are embarking on a relatively new frontier.  Therefore, our competition may initially be light. We believe our CareView System™ is the only comprehensive product of its type currently available to the healthcare industry; however, other companies may offer products that potential customers may consider an acceptable alternative to our products and services.  Some of these competitors may be larger and have greater financial resources than CareView.  We compete with them based on price, engineering and technological expertise, knowledge and the quality of our products, systems and services. Additionally, the Company’s management believes that the successful performance of the Company’s installed products and systems is a key factor in retaining current business and gaining new business, as customers typically prefer to make significant purchases from a company with a solid performance history.
 
Various companies offer applications that may be similar to some of our product offerings, including, but not limited, to LodgeNetRX (owned by MDM Commercial Healthcare), SkyLight (owned by Skylight Healthcare Systems), eICU (owned by Royal Philips Electronics) and Stryker Video Network Hub.

LodgeNetRX, Skylight, and The GetWellNetwork provide interactive television. Skylight provides interactive patient systems. TeleHealth provides access to movies and Internet connectivity.
 
The clinical systems offered by our competitors do not appear to offer a video monitoring and observation option as provided by our system.
 
The Company is presently unable to predict what competitive impact any regulatory development and advances in technology will have on our future business and results of operations. We believe our success depends upon our ability to maintain and enhance the performance, content and reliability of our products in response to the evolving demands of the industry and any competitive products that may emerge. We cannot give assurances that we will be able to do so successfully or that any enhancements or new products that we introduce will gain acceptance in the marketplace.  If we are not successful or if our products are not accepted, we could lose potential customers to our competitors.

Governmental Approval
 
Neither the Company nor its products are subject to government approval.  Although the parameters of our CareView System™ complies with HIPPA as far as its use by health care providers, CareView itself, as the manufacturer and installer of the units, is not subject to HIPPA regulations.  The Company does not know of any other privacy laws that affect our business as we are not in control of nor do we keep patient medical records in our possession.  The Company is unaware of any probable government regulations that may affect its business in the future. Additionally, the CMS does not pay or reimburse any party for use of the Company’s products and services.
 
Environmental Laws
 
The Company and its products are not affected by any federal, state, or local environmental laws; therefore, the Company has reserved no funds for compliance purposes.

Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from historical results as well as those expressed in, anticipated or implied by these forward-looking statements.  We do not undertake any obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.
 
Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions (including those described below) and apply only as of the date of this Report. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and plan of operation should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included herein. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors set forth in this Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 
Overview
 
CareView Communications, Inc., formerly known as Ecogate, Inc., was formed in California in July 1997 as Purpose, Inc., changing its name to Ecogate, Inc. in April 1999. In October 2007, the Company changed its name to CareView Communications, Inc. and in November 2007, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Nevada.  The Company’s primary focus is its operating businesses that focus on the business plan of its wholly owned subsidiary, CareView-TX.
 
CareView engages in the acquisition, development and operation of a high speed data network system that can be deployed throughout a healthcare facility using its existing cable television infrastructure in conjunction with the Company’s control server to provide bedside, point-of-care video monitoring and recording and a patient entertainment and education system.   The Company is dedicated
 
 
41

 
 
to working with all types of hospitals, nursing homes, adult living centers and selected outpatient care facilities with plans to implement this system in facilities throughout the United States and the world.
 
The Company has installed, or is in the process of installing, eleven (11) hospitals. The additional funding needed for working capital infrastructure is directly related to how many CareView Systems™ are installed.  In the event that CareView completes only the initial 11 hospitals (currently installed or being installed) our additional cash needs would be minimal; however, if CareView is to install the additional hospitals anticipated by management, our additional financing needs may approximate $20 million.
 
CareView’s mission is to be the leading provider of products and on-demand application services for bedside video monitoring, recording and documentation patient care system for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities.  We have positioned ourselves to meet the needs of the medical community while establishing relationships and building trust and loyalty for the future.  Our goal is to communicate information to the medical industry without bias or limitation.  Initially, our goal will be achieved by offering technology and services to clients that want to provide comprehensive technological systems to better serve their patients, hospitals, and staff.
 
CareView’s selling methodology focuses on significant and tangible cost savings, improved documentation, quality and timeliness of patient care, enhanced safety and security, support for new technologies, business growth, enhanced patient satisfaction, and return on investment.  As previously stated, our initial focus will be to pursue large for-profit hospital management companies that own multiple facilities and large not-for-profit integrated delivery networks in major metropolitan areas.
 
During the next twelve months, CareView plans to commercialize its products and services through a controlled marketing roll out. CareView’s officers and directors have targeted a list of hospital ownership/administration companies that are well known to them and that have indicated interest in CareView’s product offerings. CareView will respond to personnel requirements in relationship to the speed with which the marketing roll out achieves success.  Management is confident that the skilled personnel necessary for an aggressive roll out can be identified and secured.  The Company’s Room Control Platform is being manufactured by unaffiliated third party providers domestically and internationally. Although CareView’s management is confident that its products can be manufactured to its specifications at a reasonable cost, and in substantially any quantity required, there is no assurance of that outcome.  CareView plans to finance its growth through traditional bank financing sources and/or through potential debt and equity private placements. While management is confident that the required financing to fund the marketing roll out can be secured at terms satisfactory to the Company, there is no guarantee that future funding will be available, or that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company.  Upon completion of beta testing, CareView intends to complete its joint venture with Weigao Holding which will expand the Company’s reach to manufacture, distribute and install the CareView System™ in China’s hospitals.
 
Regarding the Rockwell JV, the initial aggregate funding of $1,151,205 from Rockwell went to CareView-Hillcrest, LLC and CareView-Saline, LLC (the “Project LLCs”). During the same reporting period of receipt of the funding, the Project LLCs disbursed the entire amount to CareView to purchase existing CareView System™ installations in the respective Project Hospitals and to fund a portion of the purchase price for the remaining CareView Systems™ required to complete the installations at the Project Hospitals.  The remaining $356,955 of the purchase price to cover the remaining installations of the CareView Systems™ in the Project Hospitals is to be paid upon completion of the installations projected during the first half of 2011.  All funds received and to be received by the Company through the Project LLCs will be used to purchase CareView System™ installations. Once the installed CareView Systems™
 
 
42

 
 
in the Project Hospitals begin to generate revenue, those funds will be used to repay Rockwell; therefore, this funding by Rockwell will not result in changes to the Company’s liquidity.
 
We anticipate incurring costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports.  We believe that we will be able to meet the costs of growth and public reporting with funds in our treasury and additional amounts to be loaned by or invested by our stockholders, management, traditional bank financing sources, and potential debt and equity private placements. Although management believes that the required financing to fund the marketing roll out and the costs related to public reporting can be secured at terms satisfactory to the Company, there is no guarantee that funds will be made available, and if funds are available, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
See Note B to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Report for recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and expected impact to our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
Material Changes in Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash of $26,565, a decrease of $191,737 from December 31, 2009.  Current liabilities decreased $2,733,621 to $289,895 at December 31, 2010 from $3,023,516 at December 31, 2009 (as restated), while working capital increased $2,585,979 to $176,552 at December 31, 2010 from $(2,409,427) at December 31, 2009 (as restated).
 
Results of Operations – Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had net revenue totaling $325,968 and $87,086, respectively.  This improvement of $238,882 is a result of the expansion of the Company’s business into new hospitals.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s operating expense totaled $13,121,534 and $4,162,551, respectively.  This increase of approximately $8,959,000 is primarily a result of:
 
 
an increase of approximately $8,201,000 in general and administration comprised of (i) $4,080,000 in non-cash costs associated with the issuance of Warrants as more fully described in Note S – Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement in the Notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, (ii) an increase of $3,506,000 in non-cash costs related to options and warrants issued by the Company during the period in 2010 compared to 2009 and (iii) an increase in administrative costs of approximately $615,000 primarily related to (a) costs associated with the Company’s move to its current location, (b) costs associated with the Company’s recently filed Form 10, and (c) legal expense and settlement costs (including non-cash costs of $46,000) associated with the settlement of a lawsuit more fully described in Note Q – Settlement of Lawsuit in the Notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and other legal costs associated with ongoing operations, including the recently filed Form 10;
 
an increase of approximately $433,000 in network operations associated with the expansion of the Company’s business into new hospitals;
 
an increase of approximately $158,000 in research and development costs;
 
an increase of approximately $102,000 in depreciation and amortization; and
 
 
43

 
 
 
an increase of approximately $64,000 in sales and marketing also associated with the business expansion.
 
 Other expense increased by $4,036,000 during the year ended December 31, 2010. This change is related to:
 
 
approximately $4,611,000 in non-cash costs and $210,000 in cash costs associated with equity and debt fund raising activity;
 
a reduction of approximately $839,000 in interest expense, primarily a result of a reduction of approximately $793,000 in amortization of debt discount related to the accounting treatment of certain capital raised in prior periods; and
 
a decrease of approximately $54,000 in interest and other income.
 
Allowing for the adjustment for the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest (associated with the Company’s LLCs) of approximately $98,000, the Company recorded a net loss of $18,851,758 compared to $6,176,173 for the same period in 2009 (as restated), an increase of $12,675,585.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We began the operation of our current business plan in 2003 and have not yet attained a level of revenue to allow us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations until approximately the second half of 2011 nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, infrastructure, manufacturing expenses and significant marketing/investor related expenditures to gain market recognition, so that we can achieve a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure, none of which can be assured. Management believes that the Company will need approximately $20 million over the next twelve months. While we have funded our initial operations with private placements of equity and bridge loans, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us.
 
Recent Events
 
On January 18, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of Non-Qualified Stock Options to sixteen employees for 225,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option”) pursuant to the 2009 Plan.  The Options have an exercise price of $1.62 per share and vest over a three-year period, one-third per year on the anniversary date of the Option.
 
On March 8, 2011, the Company entered into a Master Agreement with Hospital Management Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HMA”).  Terms of the Master Agreement provide for (i) HMA to use the CareView System™ in each of its approximately 59 hospitals across the U.S. through the execution of a separate Hospital Agreement for each location and (ii) CareView to provide the Primary Package and preferential pricing in exchange for the volume provided by HMA.
 
On March 14, 2011, the Company entered into a hospital agreement to install the CareView System™ in a 436-bed facility.
 
On April 8, 2011, John R. Bailey, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, exercised an Option to purchase 2,042,830 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an aggregate exercise price of approximately $302,338.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
None.
 
Effects of Inflation
 
During the periods for which financial information is presented, the Company’s business and operations have not been materially affected by inflation.
 
Outlook
 
We anticipate the demand for our products and services to be strong as there is currently no other company with the same range of services we offer. We are well positioned to take advantage of that fact and are confident that the CareView System™ will be in demand because hospitals and nursing homes continue to be understaffed in nursing personnel and are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and provide better patient care.
 
We believe that the current trend of significantly increased public awareness surrounding the quality of healthcare in hospitals and nursing homes will continue to increase.  We also believe there is an increase in public concern regarding the privacy of individuals in healthcare facilities as well as the recordation of events during treatment. Our CareView System™ will provide a safer environment for patients and provide families access to monitor activities and be involved in important healthcare decisions when they are not able to be at the facility in person.
 
This Outlook section and other portions of this document include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, among others, those statements preceded by, following or including the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the current expectations of management and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

ITEM 9A.                      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management of the Company 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. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
 
In connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements, we have assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework.  Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.  Based on this evaluation, management has determined that as of December 31, 2010, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and there were weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as outlined below.
 
 
46

 
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including Samuel A. Greco, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and John R. Bailey, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to the material weaknesses described below.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a 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 believes its weaknesses in internal controls and procedures is due to the Company’s lack of sufficient personnel with expertise in the area of SEC, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and tax accounting procedures, which resulted in the restatement described in Note T, Restatement of Annual and Interim Reports of the audited consolidated financial statements filed herewith.  In addition, the Company lacks the personnel structure, size and complexity to segregate duties sufficiently for proper controls.
 
The Company is currently without sufficient funds to hire additional personnel with expertise in these areas and to segregate duties for proper controls and until such time as additional personnel are hired, the Company believes that it will continue to recognize a weakness in its internal controls and procedures.
 
The Company’s plan is to hire additional personnel to properly implement a control structure when the appropriate funds become available.  In the meantime, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will continue to perform or supervise the performance of additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures including detailed validation work with regard to balance sheet account balances, additional analysis on income statement amounts and managerial review of all significant account balances and disclosures, to ensure that the Company’s Annual Report and the financial statements forming part thereof are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
 
47

 
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, there were no changes in internal controls of the Company, or other factors that could materially affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Business Experience

Tommy G. Thompson - Chairman of the Board
 
Tommy G. Thompson joined CareView in 2005 to serve as its Chairman of the Board.  Since March 2005, Mr. Thompson has been a partner with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP law firm and since February 2005 has been President of Logistics Health, Inc., a company that specializes in medical readiness and homeland security solutions.  As the former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Secretary from February 2001 to January 2005, Chairman Thompson served as the nation’s leading advocate for the health and welfare of all Americans.  He worked to modernize and add prescription drug coverage to Medicare for the first time in the program’s history.  A leading advocate of welfare reform, Thompson focused on expanding services to seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income Americans. Additionally, he is recognized for his contributions to the U.S. response to the threat of bioterrorism and for his leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the United States and abroad.  Thompson currently serves as the Chairman of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
 
As the Governor of Wisconsin from January 1987 to February 2001, Chairman Thompson was perhaps best known for his efforts to revitalize the Wisconsin economy, for his national leadership on welfare reform, and for his work in expanding healthcare access across all segments of society. He has received numerous awards for his public service, including the Anti-Defamation League’s Distinguished Public Service Award, Governing Magazine’s Public Official of the Year Award, and the Horatio Alger Award, which is awarded annually to “dedicated community leaders who demonstrate individual initiative and commitment to excellence—as exemplified by remarkable achievements accomplished through honesty, hard work, self-reliance, and perseverance.”
 
Chairman Thompson joined the CareView team expressly to implement his plans and visions for bringing the healthcare industry into the Information Age.  His experience in public service, in particularly his services and knowledge related to the healthcare industry as a whole, makes him well-suited to be the Company’s Chairman.  Mr. Thompson’s responsibilities include marketing the CareView System™ to non-federal hospitals and nursing homes, speaking at trade shows and conventions, and meeting with strategic business partners. He received both his B.S. and his J.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Chairman Thompson also serves as Chairman of AGA Medical Corporation [NASDAQ GS: AGAM], and serves as a member of the board of directors for C. R. Bard, Inc. [NYSE:  BCR], Centene Corporation [NYSE: CNC], and United Therapeutics Corporation [NASDAQ: UTHR].

Committees of the Board
 
Advisory Board
 
On February 13, 2008, the Company approved a charter for an advisory board to its Board of Directors (“Advisory Board”) that will be comprised of no less than three members to be appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors.  Each member shall serve one (1) year from the date of appointment; however, an additional term may be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to remove any member of the Advisory Board at any time for any reason with or without cause. The function of the members of the Advisory Board shall be to advise and make non-binding recommendations to the Company’s Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer with respect to matters within the areas of each member’s individual expertise and experience.
 
The members of the Advisory Board shall receive such compensation for their services as the Company’s Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem proper.  The members of the Advisory Board shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses in connection with their services.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors appointed Craig R.

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors began identifying qualified candidates to serve as members of the Advisory Board with Mr. Benson continuing to serve as its Chairman.   (See Advisory Board Charter, Exhibit 10.14, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors and executive officers of the Company.  This code is intended to focus the members of the Board of Directors and each executive officer on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to directors and executive officers to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical conduct, and help foster a culture of honesty and accountability. All members of the Board of Directors and all executive officers are required to sign this code on an annual basis. (See 2010 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Exhibit 14.00, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
Code of Ethics for Financial Executives

(See 2010 Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, Exhibit 14.01, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)
 
Insider Trading Policy
 
On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted its initial Insider Trading Policy applicable to all directors and officers (the “2007 Policy”).  The 2007 Policy was executed in 2007, 2008 and 2009 by all officers and directors.  On December 17, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors revised the 2007 Policy and adopted the new Insider Trading Policy (the “2010 Policy”).  Insider trading generally refers to the buying or selling of a security in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence while in possession of material, non-public information about the security.  Insider trading violations may also include ‘tipping’ such information, securities trading by the person ‘tipped,’ and securities trading by those who misappropriate such information.  The scope of insider trading violations can be wide reaching.  As such, our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that outlines the definitions of insider trading, the penalties and sanctions determined, and what constitutes material, non-public information.  Illegal insider trading is against the policy of the Company as such trading can cause significant harm to the reputation for integrity and ethical conduct of the Company.  Individuals who fail to comply with the requirements of the policy are subject to disciplinary action, at the sole discretion of the Company, including dismissal for cause.  All members of the Company’s Board of Directors and all executive officers are required to ratify the terms of this policy on an annual basis.  (See Insider Trading Policy for 2007, Exhibit 10.13 and Insider Trading Policy for 2010, Exhibit 10.71, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)

Indemnification
 
Section 145 of the Nevada Corporation Law provides in relevant parts as follows:
 
(1)  A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
(2)  A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
 
(3)  To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in (1) or (2) of this subsection, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
 
(4)  The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
 
The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the Nevada Corporation Law.
 
 
55

 
 
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify to the full extent of its power to do so, all directors, officers, employees, and/or agents.  Insofar as indemnification by the Company for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers and directors of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Company’s management is aware that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Agreement with Tommy G. Thompson, Chairman
 
Under the Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement dated February 28, 2005 between CareView LLC, T2, Mr. Thompson, and other members of T2, Mr. Thompson agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of CareView LLC for an initial service period of February 28, 2005 through May 31, 2008 which service period would continue in an evergreen fashion for successive three year terms.  In addition to serving as Chairman, other responsibilities were to be provided by Thompson; however, he was not required to spend more than 25% of his business related time in his capacity as Chairman or by providing other services to CareView LLC.  As consideration for those services to be rendered under Article IV of the Subscription Agreement (the “Article IV Payments”), Thompson was to be paid an Annual Base Payment of not less than $300,000 of which $100,000 was to be paid directly to T2 and $200,000 was to be paid to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm with which Thompson is associated.  In addition to the Annual Base Payment, terms provided for Thompson to receive other perquisites and benefits comparable to CareView LLC senior executives, reimbursement of travel and related expenses, and reimbursement of legal fees and expenses in association with the preparation and closing of the Subscription Agreement.  Although Thompson began his service as Chairman, he was not required to provide any of the other services under the Subscription Agreement; however, neither he nor T2 would receive the Annual Base Payments or 5% AGII until the occurrence of two conditions subsequent to the Subscription Agreement; namely (i) the Company receiving financing and capitalization sufficient to adequately capitalize the Company, and (ii) the Company signing contracts with two federal hospitals and one private sector hospital.  Once the two subsequent conditions had been fulfilled, the amount of the Annual Base Payment would be retroactively applied from March 1, 2005 until the date of the fulfillment of the subsequent condition even though Thompson and T2 might not have provided services under the Subscription Agreement during that time.  If Thompson’s services as Chairman were terminated by CareView LLC, T2 would be paid a lump sum on the end date of the service period equal to two year’s worth of the Annual Base Payment in effect at the time of termination.
 
CareView LLC converted to a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and the Subscription Agreement was assigned and assumed by CareView-TX under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent (“Assumption Agreement”) dated October 29, 2007 between T2, Thompson, and CareView-TX.  In addition, the Assumption Agreement provided that the Article IV Payments were assigned to and assumed by Thompson personally.  Subsequently, Thompson waived the accrual and any past or future obligations of CareView-TX to pay the Article IV Payments.
 
On August 20, 2010, the Company entered into a Revocation and Substitution Agreement with T2, Thompson and other members of T2 (the “Agreement”).  In exchange for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement by Thompson, the Company agreed to issue to Thompson a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a one-third portion of an  aggregated 1.5% Gross Income Interest on all revenues (without deductions of any kind) of the Company and its subsidiaries, which income interest is retroactive to the date of the Subscription Agreement. (See Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement, Exhibit 10.00, Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent, Exhibit 10.08, Letter of Wavier from Tommy G. Thompson, Exhibit 10.63 and Revocation and Substitution Agreement, Exhibit 10.64, which exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.)
 
LockUp Agreements
 
In February 2009, the Company’s board of directors ratified and approved LockUp Agreements between the Company and 14 individuals or entities covering an aggregate of 87,115,455 shares of its Common Stock. Terms of the LockUp Agreements call for the shareholders to refrain from selling shares
 
 
64

 
 
in order to encourage an orderly trading market for the Company’s Common Stock. The LockUp Agreements terminated in December 2009 after which the shareholders agreed not to dispose of or sell more than 2.5% of their holdings per quarter for the next twelve-month period.  Two of the shareholders were permitted to sell up to 25% of their holdings per quarter for the twelve-month period after termination. The LockUp Agreements terminate upon any change of control of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares.  The provisions of all LockUp Agreements terminated on or before December 31, 2010. (See form of LockUp Agreement, Exhibit 10.28, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
CareView Communications, Inc.
Lewisville, TX
 
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of CareView Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CareView Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that CareView Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, CareView Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries has not generated positive cash flows from operations and has accumulated losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Careview Communications, Inc. and Subsidiary


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Careview Communications, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Careview Communications, Inc. and Subsidiary’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Careview Communications, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the Company has suffered an accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note B.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As described in Note T to the financial statements, the Company has restated it financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and for the year then ended.

CAREVIEW COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009
 
NOTE A – THE COMPANY
 
CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CareView-NV” or the “Company”), was originally formed in California on July 8, 1997 under the name Purpose, Inc., changing its name to Ecogate, Inc. in April 1999, and CareView Communications, Inc. in October 2007.  We began our current operation in 2003 as a healthcare information technology company with a patented patient monitoring and entertainment system.  The CareView System™ creates a high-speed data network throughout a healthcare facility to provide bedside, point-of-care monitoring, movies and patient education and wireless connectivity throughout the facility, allowing remote monitoring of medical equipment in patient’s room and deployment of other emerging point-of-care technologies, which includes a fall prevention and management system and an ulcer prevention and management system.
 
On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Rockwell”), wherein two Wisconsin limited liability companies were formed, CareView-Hillcrest, LLC (“CareView-Hillcrest”) and CareView-Saline, LLC (“CareView-Saline”) (together known as the “Project LLCs”).  Under the terms of a Master Investment Agreement, the Company and Rockwell each own 50% of the Project LLCs with Rockwell providing the financing and the Company providing the technology and expertise to fully implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas.  Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreements of each of the Project LLCs, the Company is the managing member.  Refer to NOTE M – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT.
 
Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “CareView,” or the “Company” refers to CareView-NV,  and unless otherwise specified, includes our wholly owned subsidiaries, CareView Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and CareView Operations, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“CareView Operations”) (collectively known as the “Company’s Subsidiaries”) and its Project LLCs, CareView-Hillcrest and CareView-Saline, determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company exercises control and is deemed the Primary Beneficiary (collectively known as the “Company’s LLCs”).
 
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries and the Company’s LLCs.  All intra-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Variable Interest Entities
 
The Company uses a qualitative analysis to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company considers whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics, among others: (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity, that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Cash
 
Cash is maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.  All of our non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at December 31, 2010 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012.  Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and our non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits. The Company had no interest-bearing amounts on deposit in excess of federally insured limits at December 31, 2010.
 
Trade Accounts Receivable
 
Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions.  Trade accounts receivable passed due more than 90 days are considered delinquent.  Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations, results of collection efforts, and specific circumstances of the customer.  Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded as reductions of bad debt expense when received.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, management evaluated its past due receivables and concluded an allowance for doubtful accounts was not needed.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.  Maintenance costs, which do not significantly extend the useful lives of the respective assets, and repair costs are charged to operating expense as incurred.  The Company includes Network Equipment in fixed assets upon receipt, but only begins depreciating the Network Equipment when such equipment is ready and available for use.  The Company attributes no salvage value to the Network Equipment and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of seven years.  Also using the straight-line method, depreciation of office and test equipment, warehouse equipment and furniture is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years for office and test equipment, and five years for warehouse equipment and furniture.
 
Allowance for System Removal
 
The Company would remove the CareView System™ due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, collection and revenue performance issues.  The Company regularly evaluates the installed CareView Systems™.  An allowance is set up based on the estimated cost to de-install.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no de-installations had occurred and no allowance was established.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition.  In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value based on discounted cash flows.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company has capitalized certain costs related to registering trademarks and patent pending technology.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 350, the Company amortizes its intangible assets with a finite life on a straight-line basis, over 10 years for trademarks and 20 years for patents.  Additionally, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.  No impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The Company capitalizes certain costs of developing software upon the establishment of technological feasibility and prior to the availability of the product for general release to customers for its CareView System™ in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.”  Capitalized costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the CareView System™ not to exceed five years.
 
At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had capitalized intellectual property costs totaling $2,752,933. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized no additional intellectual property costs.  The Company’s amortization of intellectual property costs totaled $550,588 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1,651,764 and $1,101,176 respectively.
 
The table below lists amortization expense for currently amortizable capitalized intellectual property costs for future periods:

Patents and Trademarks
 
Patents and trademarks are being amortized over 20 and 10 years, respectively, using the straight line method.  The Company begins amortization of these costs on the date patents or trademarks are awarded.
 
The Company capitalized $23,303 and $1,493 in patent costs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Amortization charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $332 and $320, respectively.  The Company capitalized $0 and $20,531 in trademark costs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Amortization charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $766 and $344, respectively.
 
The amortization expense for currently amortizable patent and trademark costs for future periods is $1,121 for each year ending December 31, 2011 through 2015 and $8,629 thereafter.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short and long-term debt.  The carrying amount of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates its fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.  Interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of short and long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s short and long-term debt.
 
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
Assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs, as follows:
 
Level 1  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument
 
Level 3  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related 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 when the rate change is enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.  In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if the positions are more likely than not of being sustained in an audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  Recognized uncertain income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized.  Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which those changes in judgment occur.  The Company recognizes both interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, when the selling price is fixed or determinable, when installation and official acceptance by the facility occurs, and when collection is probable.  Because the Company consolidates its financial statements, 100% of the revenue generated by the Project LLCs is included in the Company’s results with all intra-company accounts and transactions eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company offers CareView’s services through a subscription-based contract with each facility for a standard term of five years and accordingly, Primary Package revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. The contract requires the facility to pay the Company the subscription fee monthly.  The Company begins to bill monthly subscription fees to the facility upon official acceptance of the CareView System™ by the facility.  During the term of the contract, the Company provides continuous monitoring of the CareView System™ and is required to maintain and service all CareView System™ equipment. If the customer requires additional products or services, the contract is amended with new pricing or revenue sharing terms and conditions.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted.  Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Such potential dilutive common shares consist of stock options and warrants. Potential common shares totaling 32,972,616 and 26,766,587 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they are anti-dilutive due to the net loss reported by the Company.

Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payments granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share Based Payments.” Compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period based on the award’s estimated lives for fixed awards with ratable vesting provisions.
 
Debt Discounts and Deferred Financing Costs
 
Costs incurred with parties who are providing long-term financing, which include warrants issued with the underlying debt, are reflect as a debt discount based on the relative fair value of the debt and warrants.  These discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.  In connection with debt issued during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded debt discounts totaling $0 and $684,488, respectively.  The aggregate balance of unamortized debt discount at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $440,904 and $617,219, respectively.  Amortization expense related to debt discounts totaled $176,316 and $968,859 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Amortization of debt discounts for 2011 and 2012 is expected to be approximately $199,000 and $242,000, respectively and $0 thereafter.
 
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, deferred financing costs were $0 and $72,160, respectively.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
The Company expenses all shipping and handling costs as incurred.  These costs are included network operations on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.  The Company incurred no advertising costs during 2010 and 2009.
 
Concentration of Credit Risks and Customer Data
 
The Company currently derives all of its revenues from hospitals. For the year ended December 31, 2010, two hospitals accounted for approximately 56% and 20% of the Company’s revenues.  No other hospital accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, the same two hospitals accounted for 38% and 61% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Use of Estimates
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
 
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, Consolidation (ASC 810) Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2009-17), which is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  ASU 2009-17 requires Company management to consider a variable entity’s purpose and design and the Company’s ability to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance when determining whether such entity should be consolidated.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-17 as required on January 1, 2010.  The provision had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operation upon adoption.
 
In January, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASU 2010-06”) to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-06 as required on January 1, 2010; however, the effect of this pronouncement was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C – GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $12,796,000, had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $4,143,000, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $30,508,000 at December 31, 2010.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans include raising additional proceeds from debt and equity transactions and to continue to increase its sales and marketing activities for the CareView System™, however, there are no assurances that management will be successful in their efforts.  The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
 
NOTE D – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award.  The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of its stock prices (and that of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available).  The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.  The Company used the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price during 2007-2009.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award.  The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available.  The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.  The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.
 
Share-based compensation expense for stock options recognized in our results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 ($1,200,753 and $905,492 respectively) is based on awards vested and the Company estimated no forfeitures.  ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates.
 
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was approximately $1.6 and $0.9 million respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. No tax benefit was realized due to a continued pattern of operating losses.

The Company had federal net operating tax loss carry-forward of approximately $8,344,000 as of December 31, 2010.  The tax loss carry-forwards are available to offset future taxable income with the federal and state carry-forwards beginning to expire in 2030.

In 2010, the deferred tax valuation allowance increased by $6,613,869.  The realization of the tax benefits is subject to the sufficiency of taxable income in future years.  The combined deferred tax assets represent the amounts expected to be realized before expiration.
 
The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets.  The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no amounts have been recognized for uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized related to interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has determined that it is not reasonably likely for the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company is currently subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions.

NOTE M – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT
 
On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Master Investment Agreement (the “Rockwell Agreement”) with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability (“Rockwell”).  The Company will use the funds provided under the Rockwell Agreement to purchase the previously installed CareView Systems™ at two of its existing hospitals as well as to fund the purchase and installation of additional CareView System™ equipment to complete the installations at the two facilities.  Upon completion, it is anticipated that there will be over 900 installations of the CareView System™ in the combined facilities.
 
Under the terms of the Master Investment Agreement, the Company will use funds from Rockwell to fully implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hillcrest”) and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas (“Saline”) (the “Project Hospital(s)”).
 
The Master Investment Agreement provides that the Company and Rockwell will establish an entity for each Project Hospital (the “Project LLC”) and that:
 
(i)   The Company will assign its hospital contracts to the Project LLC,
 
(ii)  The Company will provide the Project LLC with a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license of intellectual property rights to enable the Project LLC to use the intellectual property needed to operate the CareView Systems™ in each Project Hospital,
 
(iii)  The Company will sell all of the existing CareView Systems™ in the Project Hospitals to the Project LLC,
 
(iv)  The Company will acquire, install, set-up and then sell and maintain, on behalf of the Project LLC, all equipment and other personal property necessary for the operation of the CareView Systems™ at each Project Hospital,
 
(v)  The Project LLC will grant a security interest to Rockwell in all equipment, fixtures, and inventory, among other things, as collateral for payment of the Project Note, as described below.

NOTE M – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (continued)
 
The structure of the agreement between Rockwell and the Company is in the form of a Project LLC for each of the Project Hospitals.  Both Rockwell and the Company own 50% of each Project LLC. CareView contributed its intellectual property rights and its hospital contract with each Project Hospital.  Rockwell contributed cash to be used for the purchase of equipment for the Project LLCs with 50% attributed to a promissory note bearing interest at 10% and 50% attributed to a member’s equity. The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay Rockwell a Preferential Return (the amount of Rockwell’s aggregate capital contribution to the Project LLCs plus ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded annually.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10-65 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classified this obligation as a mandatory redemption since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return on each Project LLC.
 
Pursuant to ASC 810-10-15, the Company determined that the Project LLCs were within the scope of the variable interest entities (VIE) subsection of the codification.  We determined the LLC to be a VIE based on the fact that the total equity investment at risk was not sufficient to finance the entities activities without additional financial support.  Based on the guidance under ASC 810-10-15-14, the contribution by Rockwell was determined not to be an equity investment because equity investments are interests that are required to be recorded as equity in the entities financial statements.  The loans are secured by a security interest in all of the equipment in the Project Hospitals, intellectual property rights, and the Project Hospital Contract.
 
Each Project LLC is governed by an Operating Agreement under which the Company and Rockwell are its initial members, each owning 50% of the outstanding ownership units.  Pursuant to Section 301 – Management of the Operating Agreement for each of CareView-Hillcrest and CareView-Saline, the Company is the Manager for each.  The Company, as Manager, has the authority to supervise, manage and control the business affairs and property of the Project LLCs, and to perform any and all acts or activities reasonably customary or incidental to the management of the Project LLCs. The Company also has the authority to sign all agreements, contracts and other instruments and documents that are necessary or appropriate in the ordinary course of the Project LLC’s regular business. In addition, as Manager, the Company has established power over key activities, is responsible for the procurement, installation, set-up and maintenance of the CareView Systems™ installed in the Project LLCs, and is responsible for receiving and distributing revenues from each Project LLC.
 
Pursuant to ACS 810-10, the Company has a controlling financial interest in the LLC based on the fact that as Manager, CareView has the power to direct the entity’s activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance and has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Accordingly, we determined that the Company is the Primary Beneficiary, and have eliminated all intra-company accounts and transactions in consolidation.
 
Further we evaluated Rockwell’s rights under the agreements, to determine if they had any participating rights that would overcome our requirement of consolidation.  Based on the following, we deemed the rights held by Rockwell to be protective rights which did not override the consolidation presumption.  There is no separate management agreement for the Project LLCs.  The Manager and the duties of the Manager are set forth in Article II of the Operating Agreement for each Project LLC.  The Project LLCs each have two members, the Company and Rockwell.  Each of the Company and Rockwell has one vote for all matters requiring a vote.  The Operating Agreement for each Project LLC names the Company as the Manager and lists its duties as follows.  Notwithstanding the authority granted to the Manager, the

following actions may only be taken if approved by the Members:  (i) amendment to the agreement or articles, (ii) issuance of more than the number of authorized units, (iii) discontinuation of the project or dissolution of the LLC, (iv) sale or disposition of substantially all of the Project LLC’s assets, (v) a merger, consolidation or reorganization, (vi) conversion of the LLC to a corporation, (vii) admission of new members, (viii) borrowing of funds other than the Project Loan, (ix) expenditures of more than $20,000, (x) amendment of contract with project hospitals, (xi) establishing amount of cash flow to be maintained, (xii) amending any agreement between the LLC and the Company, or (xiii) changing disposition of funds pursuant to the escrow agreement.  The Operating Agreement provides that the Company shall serve as Manager until removed or replaced by a vote of the members.  As Rockwell and the Company are the only members of the LLCs, the Company cannot be removed as Manager through a unilateral decision of Rockwell.
 
Rockwell provided $1,151,205 as the initial funding including $932,745 for the Hillcrest Project Hospital and $218,460 for the Saline Project Hospital, which funding was confirmed in a Funding Agreement entered into between the Company and Rockwell.  The Funding Agreement anticipates future funding as provided for in the Master Investment Agreement upon completion of the Project Hospitals. An aggregate of $575,603 of the initial funding was credited to Project Notes for Rockwell; $466,373 for CareView-Hillcrest and $109,230 for CareView-Saline. An aggregate of $575,603 was credited to an investment interest of Rockwell (Rockwell’s Preferential Return); $466,373 for CareView-Hillcrest and $109,230 for CareView-Saline.  The Project Notes to Rockwell and Rockwell’s Preferential Returns both earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%).
 
As additional consideration to Rockwell for providing the funding, the Company has agreed that upon completion of the Project Hospitals it will issue Rockwell a common stock purchase warrant (“Project Warrant”) granting Rockwell one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for each dollar of funding received for the Project Hospitals.  The five-year Project Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.52 per share.  On November 16, 2009, the Company recorded the issuance of 1,151,206 Warrants valued at $1,124,728.  The Project Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the Rockwell Agreement using a term of five (5) years; volatility of 89.21%; risk free rate of 2.19%; and a dividend yield of 0%. The Warrants were analyzed for classification and were included in additional paid-in-capital on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company allocated the proceeds to the Project Warrants and the Project Notes or Preferential Returns based on the relative fair value.  Debt discount of $636,752 will be amortized over the life of the debt, and recorded as interest expense in other income (expense) on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Amortization expense totaled $171,309 and $24,540 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As any additional funding is provided, the Company will calculate for any additional Project Warrants due.
 
Once the full funding has been provided by Rockwell upon completion of the installations at the Project Hospitals, each Project LLC will replace the earlier Project Note with an amended and restated Project Note representing the outstanding balance due under the earlier Project Note plus any additional funding credited to the Project Note, which amended and restated Project Note will earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%). Principal payments commence on the earlier to occur of the date that monthly Primary Package fees first become payable by each Project Hospital or six months from the date of the original Project Note; provided, however, that the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest of a Project Note shall be paid in full on or before the third anniversary of the date that payments commenced thereunder.

NOTE M – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (continued)
 
Based on contractual revenue as of December 31, 2010, the Company estimated the current portion of the each Project Note, and recorded it accordingly.
 
Pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreements for the Project Hospitals, revenues generated from the sale of the Primary Package (“Primary Package Revenues”) are distributed as follows: (i) one-half toward payment of the Rockwell Note until paid in full, and (ii) one-half toward payment of Rockwell’s Preferential Return until paid in full. Once the Rockwell Note and Preferential Return have been paid in full, Primary Package Revenues are distributed as follows: (i) first, to the payment and/or reimbursement to the Hospital of the amounts the Hospital is entitled to receive pursuant to the Contract; (ii) second, to the payment to Rockwell of the Legal Fee Reimbursement (as provided for and defined in the Master Investment Agreement), (iii) third, to the payment of expenses of the Company and debt service on loans; and (iv) fourth, to the maintenance of reserves that are adequate (as determined by the Members) for working capital, property replacement reserves and current or budgeted capital expenditures; and (v) then, to the making of guaranteed payments to Members, including but not limited to the payment of any current or accrued obligations to the Company for its services as provided for in the Project Services Subcontract Agreement (as referred to in the Master Investment Agreement).  Any cash remaining from the Primary Package Revenues after the satisfaction of all of the above provisions shall be distributed to the Company and Rockwell in proportion to the ownership of each.
 
The Project LLCs have an obligation to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10-65 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Company classified this obligation as a mandatory redemption since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to pay Rockwell’s Preferential Return on each Project LLC.
 
As Primary Beneficiary, the Company uses consolidation rules to record 100% of the activities from each joint venture, thereafter distributing the revenues on the agreed upon basis to the LLC members.  Revenues earned through the Project Hospitals are generated from monthly charges paid by each hospital for the Primary Package on installed CareView Systems™ and from purchase of entertainment products by patients.  Payments of revenues from each Project Hospital are deposited into an escrow account jointly controlled by the Company and the Project LLC pursuant to the Project Escrow Agreement.  Once deposits into the escrow account are collected by the escrow agent, they are immediately transferred into a separate account in the name of the Project LLC.
 
The Master Investment Agreement includes provisions under which the Company may elect to purchase, for cash, Rockwell’s entire interest in each Project LLC at a pre-determined price based on annualized net cash flow from the Project Hospital plus the payment of any unpaid Preferential Return (if any) and the estimated amount of any additional distributions that would be payable from the Project LLC to Rockwell during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital.  In addition, upon the Company’s purchase of Rockwell’s interest in a Project LLC, the Company would have to pay the remaining balance due (if any) under the Project Note and any forgone interest under the Project Note that would have accrued during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital.  Additionally, there are provisions under which Rockwell may elect, if the Project Note has been paid and Rockwell has received its Preferential Return, to require the Company to purchase its entire interest in each Project LLC based on a pre-determined percentage of the annualized net cash flow of the Project Hospital.  If Rockwell makes that election, the Company may chose to fund

NOTE O – DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
 
On January 9, 2010, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) with an entity to distribute the CareView System™ on the East Coast of the United States.  In addition to selling the CareView System™, the entity will also serve as CareView’s East Coast representative to service all of the installed medical facilities in that region. In connection with the Agreement, the Company issued a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 200,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.52 per share. At December 31, 2010, the Warrant had not been exercised.  The Warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term five (5) years; volatility of 89.46%; risk free rate of 1.09%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  The Agreement carries a three (3) year term and accordingly the Warrants valued at $166,000 are being amortized over the life of the Agreement.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized expense of $55,333 as distribution expense in network operations and $110,667 as deferred distribution expense in other assets as of December 31, 2010 on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE P – LEASE LINE OF CREDIT
 
On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of agreement with an entity for a Lease Line of Credit (“Lease Line”) for up to $5 million.  Under the Lease Line, CareView will lease installed CareView Systems™ from the entity and will repay the draws on the Lease Line over a period of three (3) years.  CareView and the entity executed a Master Lease covering the installed CareView Systems™ which calls for pre-determined monthly rental over a three-year period (the “Base Term”).  Prior to the expiration of the Base Term, CareView may elect to (i) purchase the equipment or (ii) extend or renew the lease for an additional twelve (12) months with a subsequent option to return the equipment to Fountain.
 
An origination fee of one percent (1%) of the lease schedule amount will be due upon signing of each lease schedule.  The cost of equipment to entity shall not exceed $500,000 per month with each month carrying over to the next month if not used unless this limit is waived by the entity.  The draw window was open until December 5, 2010 (“Draw Window”).  To that date, the Company has not made a draw against the Lease Line.  In April 2010, CareView paid the entity $100,000, which represents a deposit of two percent (2%) of the unused Lease Line.  Upon execution of the Lease Line, CareView issued a ten-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase a total of 450,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.52 per share.  The Warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term of ten (10) years; volatility of 79.70%; risk free rate of 3.66%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  With the closing of the Lease Line in December 2010, the value of $382,500 was fully amortized as of December 31, 2010, and the $100,000 was reported as financing costs in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
In association with the Lease Line, in April 2010 the Company paid a separate, unrelated entity a cash finder’s fee of $100,000 and issued a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 400,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.52.  The Warrant was valued using the Black Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term of five (5) years; volatility of 90.32%; risk free rate of 2.30%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  With the closing of the Lease Line in December 2010, the value of $300,000 was fully amortized as of December 31, 2010, and the $100,000 was reported as financing costs in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE Q – SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUIT
 
The Company filed a complaint on April 15, 2009 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division, against Silicon Standard Corporation (“Silicon”) and its Chief Executive Officer, Howard Kuo, for breach of contract and fraud relative to the manufacture of the Company’s Room Control Platform. Silicon subsequently filed a counterclaim against the Company and also brought suit against Steven G. Johnson (“Johnson”), the Company’s President.  Silicon’s suit against the Company and Johnson included among other allegations a demand for alleged damages consisting of lost profits, excess inventory, additional labor, and added engineering.  All parties settled the litigation on May 20, 2010 and the Court dismissed the actions on June 30, 2010.  Terms of the confidential settlement included, among other things, mutual releases between the parties and the issuance of 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an estimated fair value of $46,250 to Silicon, which amount was recorded as settlement expense in general and administration on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE R – LITIGATION
 
On July 14, 2010, The EMG Irrevocable Trust dated February 19, 2009, and Shelly Lynn Sands, Trustee of the EMG Irrevocable Trust (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa against the Company and its subsidiary, its transfer agent, its Chief Financial Officer, consultants and agents of the Company, and shareholders of the Company (“Defendants”), claiming among other things, negligence, securities fraud, fraud in investment advisory services, and breach of fiduciary duty.  The complaint involves a dispute relative to a private stock transaction between the beneficiary of the Trust and a shareholder of the Company.  The Company has engaged legal counsel on its behalf and on behalf of the other Defendants to defend the lawsuit and to file a third party claim against the beneficiary.  Counsel and Company’s management do not believe that there are any meritorious claims against the Company or that this case will have any negative or material impact on the Company or its management; however the lawsuit is in its early stages and no range of possible loss is able to be determined as of the filing of these consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE S – SUBSCRIPTION AND INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
On February 28, 2005, the predecessor of CareView-TX, CareView Communications, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“CareView LLC”), entered into a Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with an entity to be known as T2 Consulting, LLC (“T2”), and the principals of T2, namely Tommy G. Thompson (“Thompson”), Gerald L. Murphy (“Murphy”), and Dennis Langley (“Langley”).  Under the Subscription Agreement, T2 purchased a 17% ownership interest in CareView LLC for $1,000 and also received an Adjusted Gross Income Interest entitling T2 to receive 5% of the adjusted gross income of CareView LLC (the “5% AGII”).  The 5% AGII was considered senior to any other priority or preference of any kind and at no time could be diluted.   The 5% AGII included 5% of (i) all revenue of any type or nature from whatever source received by CareView LLC and its subsidiaries; less (ii) pre-tax, non-debt service, payments to non-affiliates or employees of the company, cost of goods sold (and not general and administrative expenses).
 
Under the Subscription Agreement, Thompson agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of CareView LLC for an initial service period of February 28, 2005 through May 31, 2008 which service period would continue in an evergreen fashion for successive three year terms.  In addition to serving as Chairman, other responsibilities were to be provided by Thompson; however, he was not required to spend more than 25% of his business related time in his capacity as Chairman or by providing other services to CareView LLC.  As consideration for those services to be rendered under Article IV of the Subscription Agreement (the “Article IV Payments”), Thompson was to be paid an Annual Base Payment of not less than $300,000 of which $100,000 was to be paid directly to T2 and $200,000 was to be paid to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm with which Thompson is associated.  In addition to the Annual Base Payment, terms provided for Thompson to receive other perquisites and benefits comparable to CareView LLC senior executives, reimbursement of travel and related expenses, and reimbursement of legal fees and expenses in association with the preparation and closing of the Subscription Agreement.  Although Thompson began his service as Chairman, he was not required to provide any of the other services under the Subscription Agreement; however, neither he nor T2 would receive the Annual Base Payments or 5% AGII until the occurrence of two conditions subsequent to the Subscription Agreement; namely (i) the Company receiving financing and capitalization sufficient to adequately capitalize the Company, and (ii) the Company signing contracts with two federal hospitals and one private sector hospital.  Once the two subsequent conditions had been fulfilled, the amount of the Annual Base Payment

NOTE S – SUBSCRIPTION AND INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT (continued)
 
would be retroactively applied from March 1, 2005 until the date of the fulfillment of the subsequent condition even though Thompson and T2 might not have provided services under the Subscription Agreement during that time.  If Thompson’s services as Chairman were terminated by CareView LLC, T2 would be paid a lump sum on the end date of the service period equal to two year’s worth of the Annual Base Payment in effect at the time of termination.
 
CareView LLC converted to a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and the Subscription Agreement was assigned and assumed by CareView-TX under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent (“Assumption Agreement”) dated October 29, 2007 between T2, Thompson, and CareView-TX.  In addition, the Assumption Agreement provided that the Article IV Payments were assigned to and assumed by Thompson personally.  Subsequently, Thompson waived the accrual and any past or future obligations of CareView-TX to pay the Article IV Payments.
 
On August 20, 2010, in an effort to resolve all past, current and future claims due pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into a Revocation and Substitution Agreement with T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley (the “Agreement”).  In exchange for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement by T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley, the Company agreed to issue to each of Thompson, Murphy, and Langley a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  The Warrants were valued on the date of the grant using their five (5) year term; volatility of 94.12%; risk free rate of 1.47%; and a dividend yield of 0%.  The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the Warrants issued was the Black-Scholes Model, and accordingly calculated a fair value of $4,080,000 and reported as contract modification expense in general and administration on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company’s Board of Directors believes the Agreement is in the best interest of all the shareholders of the Company and has determined that it is not necessary to obtain a ‘fairness’ opinion from an independent third-party.
 
As additional consideration for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement with CareView-TX, Thompson, Murphy, and Langley will receive an aggregated 1.5% Gross Income Interest on all revenues (without deductions of any kind) of the Company and its subsidiaries, which income interest is retroactive to the date of the Subscription Agreement.  In connection with the income interest, the Company executed an Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest with each of Thompson, Murphy and Langley dated August 20, 2010.  The Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest does not have a termination date; however it does provide that the Company has the right to acquire the Gross Income Interest of Thompson, Murphy and Langley from September 1, 2013 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price and that Thompson, Murphy and Langley each have the right to require that their respective Gross Income Interest be purchased by the Company any time from September 1, 2011 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price.  Purchase Price means, absent an agreement between Thompson, Murphy or Langley and the Company to the contrary, at CareView’s election, either: i) a monetary amount equal to the aggregated Gross Income Interest received by either of Thompson, Murphy or Langley in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the sale, transfer or exchange, or ii) the payment of the monetary amount as determined in i) above in shares of CareView’s Common Stock at Fair Market Value.  The Company has made a determination that the fair market value of the GII Owner’s Put is equal to the 1.5% earned each month for the twelve (12) month period preceding September 1, 2011, the first date at which the GII Owner’s Put can be exercised.  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2010, based on actual revenue for the months of September through December 2010 and estimated revenue for the months of January

through August 2011, the Company recorded a liability for the GII Owner’s Put of $29,511 (the estimated fair value of the GII Owner’s Put).  This liability will be analyzed and updated quarterly, based on actual revenues. In an additional term in the Gross Income Interest agreement with Langley, the Company agreed that an affiliate of Langley shall be granted a distribution and sales agreement for the Company’s products for government entities in the U.S. including, but not limited to, HHS, VA, DOD and state and local governments.  Terms of the distribution agreement will be negotiated at a future date.
 
NOTE T – RESTATEMENT OF ANNUAL AND INTERIM REPORTS
 
Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Form 10, Amendment 3 filed on December 7, 2010, it was determined that the value allocated to Project Warrants issued as part of the Rockwell Agreement (more fully described in NOTE M – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT), should have been based on relative fair value of the Project Notes and Rockwell’s Preferential Return (collectively referred to as the “Debt”) and the Project Warrants.  Based on this determination, approximately 45% of the cash proceeds should have been allocated to the Debt and 55% of the proceeds should have been allocated to the Project Warrants. Accordingly, effective November 16, 2009, (the “Rockwell Agreement Date”), the Company reduced the debt discount by approximately $514,000. The Company is restating certain information in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, and the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 to reflect the changes in the balance sheet and the related interest.
 
Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company determined that a clerical error had been made in the valuation of warrants issued as part of a modification of an agreement between the Company and T2 (more fully described in NOTE S – SUBSCRIPTION AND INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT), wherein $5,031,000 was recorded as contract modification expense in other income (expense) on the accompanying consolidated financial statements during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.  The Company determined that the fair value at issuance was $4,080,000, an overstatement of $951,000.  The Company is restating certain information for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 to include the $951,000 reduction and reclassifying the entire $4,080,000 to general and administration expense.
 
Subsequent to the filing of the Company’s Form 10, Amendment 3 filed on December 7, 2010 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, it was determined that the Company used the expected term when valuing certain Warrants issued in 2010. Management determined that the actual term of the Warrant should have been used in the calculation of fair value.  Aggregate adjustments of approximately $2,746,000 and $959,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, were made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements
 
The Company concluded that the impact of making these changes is not material to the previously filed financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2009, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, and three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, and therefore the Company did not amend its previous filings.  The tables on the following pages summarize the impact of the restatements.
