TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis
of Presentation
|
The
unaudited interim consolidated financial information of RemoteMDx, Inc. and
subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “RemoteMDx”) has been prepared in
accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial
information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of
June 30, 2008, and results of its operations for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year
ended September 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2008 may not be indicative of the results for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2008.
Restatements
Restatements
relating to revenues and cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2007 have been made in order to comply with, among other things, the
requirements of EITF 00-21 and SAB 104 for revenue recognition. Under
these guidelines, the recognition of certain revenues for deliveries of
monitoring devices is deferred. In addition, the corresponding cost
of revenues is deferred to future periods. The impact of these
revisions was to reduce previously reported net revenues for the year ended
September 30, 2007 by 15% and to increase cost of revenues by 55% for the same
period. These revisions had the following effect on the loss from
operations, net loss, and net loss per common share:

During
the nine months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reclassified $2,771,324
from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of revenues for
amortization and communication expenses for non-billable
devices.

Going
Concern
The
Company has recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operating activities,
and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty. In order for the Company to achieve successful
operations, the Company must generate positive cash flows from operating
activities and obtain the necessary funding to meet its projected capital
investment requirements.
Management’s
plans with respect to this uncertainty include raising additional capital from
the exercise of options, expanding its market for its tracking products, and
increasing monitoring service revenues. There can be no assurance
that revenues will increase rapidly enough to deliver profitable operating
results and pay the Company’s debts as they come due. Likewise,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising
additional capital from the sale of equity or debt securities. If the
Company is unable to increase cash flows from operating activities or obtain
additional financing, it will be unable to continue the development of its
business and may have to cease operations.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RemoteMDx
and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Statements Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier
application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a
cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained
earnings (accumulated deficit) in the year of adoption. The Company
has evaluated SFAS No. 157 and has determined that it will not have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
On
February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
115. SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure
eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. An entity
will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option
has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few
exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method;
(b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only
to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No.
159 is effective for fiscal years that begin after November 15,
2007. The Company has evaluated SFAS No. 159 and has determined that
it will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
On June
27, 2007, the FASB ratified EITF 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance
Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development
Activities, which calls for nonrefundable advance payments for goods or
services to be used in future research and development activities to be deferred
and capitalized until such time as the related goods are delivered or related
services are performed, at which point the amounts are to be recognized as an
expense. EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after
December 15, 2007. The Company has evaluated its research and development
contracts in regard to this new pronouncement and has determined that the effect
of this consensus will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
8
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and
SFAS No. 160. Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,
an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS No.
141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact
financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent
periods. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for
minority interest, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests
and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No.
160 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not
permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated these new pronouncements
to determine if they will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events
and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company
uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or
group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the
assets are recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which
the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of
long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are
identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
value, less the estimated costs to sell. During the nine months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company disposed of $570,948 and $1,454,784,
respectively, in monitoring equipment that no longer had value. This
expense was classified as cost of revenues.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue has historically been from three sources: (i) monitoring
services; (ii) monitoring device and other product sales; and (iii) sales of
medical diagnostic stains.
Monitoring
Services
Monitoring
services include two components: (a) lease contracts in which the Company
provides monitoring services and leases devices to distributors or end users and
the Company retains ownership of the leased device; and (b) monitoring services
purchased by distributors or end users who have previously purchased monitoring
devices and opt to use the Company’s monitoring services.
The
Company typically leases its devices under one-year contracts with customers
that opt to use the Company’s monitoring services. However, these
contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days
notice. Under the Company’s standard leasing contract, the leased
device becomes billable on the date of activation or 21 days from the date the
device is assigned to the lessee, and remains billable until the device is
returned to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on leased
devices at the end of each month that monitoring services have been
provided. In those circumstances in which the Company receives
payment in advance, the Company records these payments as deferred
revenue.
Monitoring Device Product
Sales
Although
not the focus of the Company’s business model, the Company sells its monitoring
devices in certain situations. In addition, the Company sells home security and
PERS units. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to
the customer and the customer cannot return the devices, prices are fixed or
determinable (including sales not being made outside the normal payment terms)
and collection is reasonably assured.
When
purchasing products (such as TrackerPAL devices) from the Company, customers
may, but are not required to, enter into monitoring service contracts with the
Company. The Company recognizes revenue on monitoring services for
customers that have previously purchased devices at the end of each month that
monitoring services have been provided.
9
Multiple Element
Arrangements
The
majority of the Company’s revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. On
occasion, the Company has revenue transactions that have multiple elements (such
as product sales and monitoring services). For revenue arrangements
that have multiple elements, the Company considers whether: (i) the delivered
devices have standalone value to the customer; (ii) there is objective and
reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered monitoring services,
which is generally determined by surveying the price of competitors’ comparable
monitoring services; and (iii) the customer does not have a general right of
return. Based on these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from
the sale of devices separately from the monitoring services to be provided to
the customer. In accordance with EITF 00-21, if the fair value of the
undelivered element exists, but the fair value does not exist for one or more
delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under
the residual method as applied to these particular transactions, the fair value
of the undelivered element (the monitoring services) is deferred and the
remaining portion of the arrangement (the sale of the device) is recognized as
revenue when the device is delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria
are met.
Medical Diagnostic Stain
Sales
The
Company recognizes medical diagnostic stains revenue when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer and the
customer cannot return the products, prices are fixed or determinable (including
sales not being made outside the normal payment terms) and collection is
reasonably assured.
Other
Matters
The
Company considers an arrangement with payment terms longer than the Company’s
normal terms not to be fixed or determinable, and revenue is recognized when the
fee becomes due. Normal payment terms for the sale of monitoring
services are 30 days, and normal payment terms for device sales are between 120
and 180 days. The Company sells its devices and services directly to
end users and to distributors. Distributors do not have general
rights of return. Also, distributors have no price protection or
stock protection rights with respect to devices sold to them by the
Company. Generally, title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon
delivery of the devices.
The
Company estimates its product returns based on historical experience and
maintains an allowance for estimated returns, which is recorded as a reduction
to accounts receivable and revenue.
Shipping
and handling fees are included as part of net revenues. The related
freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to
customers are included as a component of cost of revenues.
Net
Loss Per Common Share
Basic net
loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share
("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common
stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and the weighted average dilutive common share equivalents then
outstanding. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or
conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Common
stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock
options and warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. As
of June 30, 2008 and 2007, there were 19,123,412 and 19,289,196 outstanding
common stock equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the
computation of diluted net loss per common stock as their effect would be
anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents outstanding as of June 30, 2008,
consisted of 7,178 shares of common stock in which 19 shares of Series A
Preferred stock are convertible, 113,783 shares of common stock in
which 10,999 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible, and 19,002,451
shares underlying options and warrants. Of the 19,002,451 shares underlying
options and warrants, 14,207,451 shares underlie options and warrants which have
vested and 4,795,000 shares underlie options and warrants which have not yet
vested.
10
Equity-based
Compensation
Effective
October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123R, using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123R requires
the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on
the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also requires the stock
option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting
period). Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for its
stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB")
No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, generally no compensation
expense is recorded when the terms of the award are fixed and the exercise price
of the employee stock option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying
stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.
For
options granted subsequent to October 1, 2006, the fair value of each stock
option grant will be estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The Company granted 1,725,000 stock options to employees
during the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The Company granted 275,000 stock
options to employees during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The weighted
average fair value of stock options at the date of grant during the nine months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1.34 and $1.46, respectively.
The
expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock
options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise
trends. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of
common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate
for the expected life of the related stock options. The dividend yield
represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividends over the expected life of
the stock options.
The
following are the weighted-average assumptions used for options granted during
the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

products. The cash available to withdraw from the line of credit as of June 30,
2008 was $2,108,648. The letters of credit were provided as collateral by four
entities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the entities received a
total of 360,000 shares of RemoteMDx common stock and were reimbursed $13,968 in
cash for expenses related to establishing the letters of credit to extend the
line of credit.
In
addition, the Company will make monthly interest payments, at a rate of 11%
annually, on the line of credit to the entities that provided and arranged for
the letters of credit.

RELATED-PARTY
LINE OF CREDIT
|
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company owed ADP Management, an entity owned and controlled
by two of the Company’s officers and directors, $21,581 under a line of credit
agreement. Outstanding amounts on the line of credit accrue interest at 11% and
are due on August 31, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the net
decrease in borrowings under this line of credit was $218,182. The decrease of
$218,182 consisted of cash repayments of $715,625 offset, in part, by $497,443
of monthly management fees owed to ADP Management, and expenses incurred by ADP
Management that are reimbursable by the Company. Mr. Derrick and, prior to his
resignation June 18, 2008, Mr. Dalton’s respective salaries are paid to ADP
Management which in turn pays Messrs. Derrick and Dalton. If the Company is
unable to pay the management fee and the reimbursable expenses in cash, the
related-party line of credit is increased for the amount owed to ADP
Management.

Volu-Sol Reagents
Corporation
In
January 2007, Messrs. Derrick and Dalton exercised the right (granted in
February 2006) to purchase from RemoteMDx 2,500,000 shares of Volu-Sol Reagents
Corporation (“Volu-Sol”) common stock for cash proceeds of $400,000 or $0.16 per
share. Prior to the sale, RemoteMDx owned 100% of Volu-Sol common
stock. The sale decreased RemoteMDx’s ownership of Volu-Sol to
70%.
During
the year ended September 30, 2007, Volu-Sol negotiated a non-exclusive license
agreement with RemoteMDx. Additionally, Volu-Sol issued 3,375,000 shares of
common stock, with a three-year anti-dilution provision, for net cash proceeds
of $1,150,000 or $0.34 per share, to various investors. These
transactions decreased RemoteMDx’s ownership of Volu-Sol to 50%.
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2008, Volu-Sol issued 5,381,944 shares of its
common stock for net cash proceeds of $2,198,333. In addition,

stock.

outstanding voting securities of Volu-Sol. In accordance with FIN
46(R), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities an
Interpretation of ARB No. 51, RemoteMDx must consolidate
Volu-Sol. The factors that were considered include: (1)
RemoteMDx has and will continue to absorb the majority of Volu-Sol’s expected
losses, (2) RemoteMDx has funded and will continue to fund Volu-Sol’s working
capital needs, (3) Volu-Sol’s two directors are also directors of RemoteMDx, (4)
Volu-Sol’s Chief Executive Officer is the Co-Chairman for RemoteMDx, (5) the
majority of Volu-Sol’s stockholders are also RemoteMDx stockholders, and (6)
Volu-Sol relies on RemoteMDx’s accounting department to process its financial
information.

STOCK
Series
A 10% Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock
Each
share of Series A Preferred stock is convertible into 370 shares of common
stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, no shares of Series A
Preferred stock were converted into common stock. As of June 30,
2008, there were 19 shares of Series A Preferred stock outstanding, which
represent 7,178 common stock equivalents at a conversion rate of 370 for

The
holders of the Series A Preferred stock are entitled to dividends at the rate of
10 percent per year on the stated value of the Series A Preferred stock (or $200
per share), payable in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred stock
at the discretion of the board of directors. Dividends are fully cumulative and
accrue from the date of original issuance. During the nine months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $313 and $95,843, respectively, in dividends
for Series A Preferred stock.
The
Company may, at its option, redeem up to two-thirds of the total number of

Preferred stock called for redemption by the Company. Through June 30, 2008, the
Company had not exercised its option to redeem shares of Series A Preferred
stock.

SecureAlert,
Inc. Preferred Stock
As of
December 31, 2007, there were 3,590,000 shares of SecureAlert Series A Preferred
stock outstanding. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred stock
were entitled to receive quarterly dividends out of any of SecureAlert’s assets
legally available therefore, prior and in preference to any declaration or
payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of SecureAlert, at the rate of $1.54
per day times the number of SecureAlert’s parolee contracts calculated in days
during the quarter. For example, if there were an average of 10,000 parolee
contracts outstanding during the quarter, the total dividend would be $1,386,000
($1.54 X 90 days X 10,000 contracts) or $.386 per share of Series A Preferred
stock. In no case would a dividend be paid if the gross revenue per contract per
day to SecureAlert averages less than $4.50. Dividends would be paid in cash to
the holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred stock as they appear on
the books and records of SecureAlert on such record dates not less than ten days
nor more than sixty days preceding the payment dates thereof, as may be fixed by
the Board of Directors of SecureAlert. As a group, all SecureAlert Series A
Preferred stock were convertible at the holders’ option at any time into an
aggregate of 20 percent ownership of the common shares of SecureAlert,
Inc.
On March
24, 2008, SecureAlert redeemed all outstanding shares of SecureAlert Series A in
exchange for 7,434,249 shares of RemoteMDx common stock for a value of
$8,549,386. The former SecureAlert Series A stockholders are entitled
to receive quarterly contingency payments through March 23, 2011 based on a rate
of $1.54 per day times the number of SecureAlert’s parolee contracts calculated
in days during the quarter. The Company estimated and accrued
$3,517,782 for future contingency payments. The Company will make
quarterly adjustments as necessary to reflect the difference between the
estimated and actual contingency payments to the former SecureAlert Series A
stockholders. The redemption value of $8,549,386 combined with the
future contingency payment of $3,517,782 less the initial investment into
SecureAlert Series A Preferred stock of $3,590,000 was recorded as an other
expense as Redemption of SecureAlert Series A Preferred. During the
nine months ended June 30, 2008, RemoteMDx issued 289,950 shares of common stock
as consideration for dividends due to the former SecureAlert Series A
stockholders through December 31, 2007.

AND CONTINGENCIES
Satellite Tracking of
People, L.L.C. (a/k/a STOP, LLC) and Michelle Enterprises, LLC v. Pro Tech
Monitoring, Inc., Omnilink Systems, Inc., and SecureAlert, Inc., Case No. 2-08CV-116:
A patent infringement suit was filed against the Company and other defendants in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on March 19,
2008. Plaintiffs have alleged that the Defendants infringe United States
Patent No. RE39,909 ('909 Patent), Tracking System for Locational
Tracking of Monitored Persons. On May 14, 2008, the Company
answered the complaint, denying Plaintiffs allegations and asserting various
affirmative defenses. The Company also asserted a counterclaim for declaratory
judgment that the Company has not infringed the '909 Patent and that the patent
is invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend the case and prosecute its
counterclaim. The Company has not accrued any potential loss as the probability
of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation
with legal counsel.
RemoteMDx, Inc. v. Satellite
Tracking of People, L.L.C. (a/k/a STOP, LLC), Case No. CV08-02899,
Central District California: The Company filed a patent infringement
suit against STOP in the United States District Court for the Central District
of California on May 2, 2008. The Company has asserted that STOP
infringes United States Patent No. 7,330,122 for a remote tracking and
communication device and method for processing data from the device ("'122
patent"), in which the Company holds all rights and interests. STOP
moved to dismiss the original complaint and also filed an answer and
counterclaim. The motion to dismiss was granted with leave to
amend. The Company filed an amended complaint on August 5,
2008. The amended complaint seeks damages for infringement according
to proof, treble damages, injunctive relief enjoining the infringement, and
costs and attorney's fees. STOP's counterclaim is for declaratory
relief, seeking a declaration that STOP has not infringed the '122 patent and
that the '122 patent is invalid. The Company filed an answer to the
counterclaim. A Scheduling Conference currently is set for September
8, 2008. No discovery has taken place at this time. The
Company intends to vigorously prosecute its claims and defend against the
counterclaim.
Strategic Growth
International, Inc., v. RemoteMDx, Case No. 06-3915, Southern District of
New York. This action was filed in response to an action previously
filed by the Company against Strategic Growth International, Inc. ("SGI") in
Utah. The action arises out of a contract between SGI and the Company
for certain investor relations related services to be performed by
SGI. SGI and its principals' original complaint alleged a single
claim for Breach of Contract seeking recovery of: 1) the balance it claims
remains due under the contract (approximately $80,000); 2) the value of options
to purchase 500,000 shares of restricted RemoteMDx common stock at $0.50 per
share; and 3) the value of one million shares of restricted RemoteMDx common
stock. In its Answer and Counterclaims, the Company denied SGI's allegations and
asserted counterclaims for: (1) breach of contract; (2) rescission;
and (3) declaratory judgment. On October 29, 2007, the Company
amended its Answer and Counterclaims to assert an additional claim against SGI
for fraudulent inducement, seeking rescission of its contract with SGI and the
return of amounts the Company paid SGI under the contract. On
December 31, 2007, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on its
fraudulent inducement claim. On January 18, 2008, SGI filed a
cross-motion for partial summary judgment. On April 17, 2008, SGI
amended its complaint to assert a claim for conversion with respect to the
options and shares which are the subject of SGI's breach of contract
claim. On May 2, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
conversion claim. On April 23, 2008, SGI sought an order permitting
the attachment of the Company's assets in the State of New York. The
Court has heard arguments on each of these motions but has not yet issued
rulings on the motions. Discovery is ongoing solely as to SGI's
conversion claim. Discovery is to conclude by September 30, 2008 and
a final pretrial conference is scheduled for December 17, 2008. The
Company intends to vigorously defend itself against SGI's claims and to
vigorously prosecute its counterclaims against SGI. The Company has
not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss
is deemed remote by management, after consultation with legal
counsel.

Critical
Accounting Policies
In Note 2
to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2007 included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB/A, the Company discusses those
accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining its
results of operations and its financial position.
The
preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an
inherent degree of uncertainty. We assess the reasonableness of our estimates,
including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty
obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates
on historical experience as well as available current information on a regular
basis. Management uses this information to form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
22
With
respect to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, and accounting
for stock-based compensation, the Company applies the following critical
accounting policies in the preparation of its financial statements:
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue has historically been from three sources: (i) monitoring
services; (ii) monitoring device and other product sales; and (iii) sales of
medical diagnostic stains.
Monitoring
Services
Monitoring
services include two components: (a) lease contracts in which the Company
provides monitoring services and leases devices to distributors or end users and
the Company retains ownership of the leased device; and (b) monitoring services
purchased by distributors or end users who have previously purchased monitoring
devices and opt to use the Company’s monitoring services.
The
Company typically leases its devices under one-year contracts with customers
that opt to use the Company’s monitoring services. However, these
contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days
notice. Under the Company’s standard leasing contract, the leased
device becomes billable on the date of activation or 21 days from the date the
device is assigned to the lessee, and remains billable until the device is
returned to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on leased
devices at the end of each month that monitoring services have been
provided. In those circumstances in which the Company receives
payment in advance, the Company records these payments as deferred
revenue.
Monitoring Device Product
Sales
Although
not the focus of the Company’s business model, the Company sells its monitoring
devices in certain situations. In addition, the Company sells home security and
PERS units. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to
the customer and the customer cannot return the devices, prices are fixed or
determinable (including sales not being made outside the normal payment terms)
and collection is reasonably assured.
When
purchasing products (such as TrackerPAL devices) from the Company, customers
may, but are not required to, enter into monitoring service contracts with the
Company. The Company recognizes revenue on monitoring services for
customers that have previously purchased devices at the end of each month that
monitoring services have been provided.
Multiple Element
Arrangements
The
majority of the Company’s revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. On
occasion, the Company has revenue transactions that have multiple elements (such
as product sales and monitoring services). For revenue arrangements
that have multiple elements, the Company considers whether: (i) the delivered
devices have standalone value to the customer; (ii) there is objective and
reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered monitoring services,
which is generally determined by surveying the price of competitors’ comparable
monitoring services; and (iii) the customer does not have a general right of
return. Based on these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from
the sale of devices separately from the monitoring services to be provided to
the customer. In accordance with EITF 00-21, if the fair value of the
undelivered element exists, but the fair value does not exist for one or more
delivered elements, then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under
the residual method as applied to these particular transactions, the fair value
of the undelivered element (the monitoring services) is deferred and the
remaining portion of the arrangement (the sale of the device) is recognized as
revenue when the device is delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria
are met.
Medical Diagnostic Stain
Sales
The
Company recognizes medical diagnostic stains revenue when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer and the
customer cannot return the products, prices are fixed or determinable (including
sales not being made outside the normal payment terms) and collection is
reasonably assured.
23
Other
Matters
The
Company considers an arrangement with payment terms longer than the Company’s
normal terms not to be fixed or determinable, and revenue is recognized when the
fee becomes due. Normal payment terms for the sale of monitoring
services are 30 days, and normal payment terms for device sales are between 120
and 180 days. The Company sells its devices and services directly to
end users and to distributors. Distributors do not have general
rights of return. Also, distributors have no price protection or
stock protection rights with respect to devices sold to them by the
Company. Generally, title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon
delivery of the devices.
The
Company estimates its product returns based on historical experience and
maintains an allowance for estimated returns, which is recorded as a reduction
to accounts receivable and revenue.
Shipping
and handling fees are included as part of net revenues. The related
freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to
customers are included as a component of cost of revenues.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be
recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date,
whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible
impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows
of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in
measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated
fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed
at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are
independent of other groups of assets. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated
costs to sell, and depreciation of the asset ceases. During the nine
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company impaired $570,948 and
$1,454,784, respectively, in monitoring equipment that no longer had
value. This expense was classified as cost of revenues.
Accounting
for Stock-based Compensation
Effective
October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123R, using the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123R requires
the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on
the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also requires the stock
option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting
period). Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for its
stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB")
No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, generally no compensation
expense is recorded when the terms of the award are fixed and the exercise price
of the employee stock option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying
stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.
For
options granted subsequent October 1, 2006, the fair value of each stock option
grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The Company granted 1,725,000 stock options to employees during the nine
months ended June 30, 2008. The Company granted 275,000 stock options to
employees during the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The weighted average fair
value of stock options at the date of grant during the nine months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007 was $1.34 and $1.46, respectively.
The
expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock
options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise
trends. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of
the common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill
rate for the expected life of the related stock options. The dividend yield
represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividends over the expected life of
the stock options.

2007
Revenues
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company had revenues of $3,610,378
compared to $3,152,556 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of
$457,822. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from the monitoring of
offender tracking devices and providing probation services to individuals on
parole.
Previously
the Company deferred $1,400,000 in revenues from the sale of devices to certain
customers and has recognized $1,033,333 of these revenues during the three
months ended June 30, 2008 resulting in a balance of deferred revenues of
$200,000 to be recognized in future periods. Of the $1,400,000, $166,667 was

25
SecureAlert
had revenues of $2,097,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared
to revenues of $2,986,086 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Although
SecureAlert’s revenue decreased $889,086, the Company recorded revenues from
devices sales of $1,837,033 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to $1,042,693 during the same period ended June 30, 2008. Revenues
from monitoring services decreased from $1,149,053 to $1,054,307 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007 because monitoring
service revenue of $162,662 related to Court Programs was not included in the
three months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, monitoring service revenues were
generally flat because the new and improved TrackerPAL device was released near
the end of the quarter. These revenues in the three months ended June
30, 2008 consisted of $1,042,693 from the sale of offender tracking devices,
$1,035,000 from the monitoring of offender tracking devices, and $19,307 from
home and personal security systems. Electronic Monitoring Services
accounted for $1,000,000 (48%) of SecureAlert’s revenues and no other customer
accounted for 10% or more of SecureAlert’s revenues.
Volu-Sol
had revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $122,720, compared to
$166,470 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Although revenues
were essentially flat between these periods, the Company anticipates that
Volu-Sol's revenues will decrease in the future as a percentage of total
revenues. The following significant customers of Volu-Sol accounted
for more than 10% of Volu-Sol’s revenues during the period: Thermo
Fisher Scientific (previously known as Fisher Scientific) accounted for 21%,

to $279,418 in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $110,420
resulted primarily from the debt obligations acquired from Midwest and Court
Programs.
Nine
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to nine months ended June 30,
2007
Revenues
For the
nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company had revenues of $9,912,538 compared
to $5,424,057 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of
$4,488,481. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from increased
monitoring of offender tracking devices and additional revenues received through
the Midwest and Court Programs acquisitions.
Previously
the Company deferred $1,400,000 in revenues from the sale of devices to certain
customers and has recognized $1,100,000 of these revenues during the nine months
ended June 30, 2008 resulting in a balance of deferred revenues of $200,000 to
be recognized in future periods. Of the $1,400,000, $100,000 was recognized as
revenue in prior periods.
SecureAlert
had revenues of $6,014,884 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, compared
to revenues of $4,930,631 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The increase
in SecureAlert’s revenues of $1,084,253 resulted primarily from increased
monitoring services. SecureAlert’s monitoring services for the nine months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $3,854,570 and $2,083,455,
respectively. Revenues of $6,014,884 for the nine months ended June

$493,426 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in
Volu-Sol’s revenues of $26,278 resulted primarily from a reduction in hemotology
sales. The Company anticipates that Volu-Sol's revenues will decrease
in the future as a percentage of total revenues. The following
significant customers of Volu-Sol accounted for more than 10% of Volu-Sol’s
revenues during the period: Thermo Fisher Scientific (previously
known as Fisher Scientific) accounted for 25% and Cardinal Health Medical
accounted for 13%. No other Volu-Sol customer accounted for 10% or
more of Volu-Sol’s revenues.

of expenses associated with the development of SecureAlert’s TrackerPAL device
and related services. Of the $3,885,788 of research and development, $2,555,285
was from the issuance of 815,000 shares of common stock (valued at an average of
$3.14 per share) for software and engineering associated with the development of
the TrackerPAL device.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $28,911,417 compared to $12,927,336 during the nine months ended
June 30, 2007. The net increase of $15,984,081 relates primarily to
increases in the following expenses: advertising of $68,337,
automobile of $64,638, bad debt of $246,085, consulting of $12,953,833,
depreciation of $117,854, insurance of $72,138, legal of $564,508, payroll and
payroll taxes of $1,689,570, rent of $76,077, telephone of $101,425, travel of
$795,389 and utilities of $26,723, and other increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses of $168,560. These increases were offset, in
part, by decreases in the following expenses: contract labor of $114,105, lease
of $30,045, overhead allocation of $247,000, outside services of $288,047,
postage of $194,116, and other selling, general and administrative expenses of
$87,743. The increase in consulting of $12,953,833 results primarily
from stock and warrants issued for services rendered to the Company and
severance given to an officer for service as President.
Interest
Expense
For the
nine months ended June 30, 2008, interest expense totaled $1,163,586 compared to
$836,668 for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $326,918
resulted primarily from the debt obligations acquired from Midwest and Court
Programs.
28
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company is presently unable to finance its business solely from cash flows from
operating activities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company
financed its business primarily from the sale and issuance of common stock of
the Company for proceeds of $2,000,000, sale and issuance of the Company’s
subsidiary, Volu-Sol for proceeds of $4,598,333 and the exercise of warrants for
the purchase of common stock of the Company for net proceeds of
$2,658,380.
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company had unrestricted cash of $2,807,975 and working
capital deficit of $4,602,004, compared to unrestricted cash of $5,556,275 and
working capital of $1,296,985 as of September 30, 2007. The cash
available to withdraw from the line of credit as of June 30, 2008 was $2,108,648
compared to $141,015 as of September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended June
30, 2008, the Company's operating activities used cash of $6,061,100, compared
to $7,505,826 of cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended
June 30, 2007.
The
Company used cash of $691,703 for investing activities during the nine months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to $8,215,598 of cash used in investing activities
for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.
The
Company's financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, provided
cash of $4,004,503 compared to $11,853,394 for the nine months ended June 30,
2007. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company had net proceeds of
$2,000,000 from the sale of common stock, $4,598,333 net proceeds from the sale
of equity securities by the Company’s subsidiary, Volu-Sol, $2,658,380 from the
exercise of warrants, $27,660 of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable,
and $160,898 of cash acquired through the purchase of Midwest and Court
Programs. Cash decreased by $2,367,633 due to net payments on the
bank line of credit, $715,625 in net payments on the related-party line of
credit, $2,100,000 in payments on notes payable related to acquisitions and
$257,510 in payments on notes payable. Cash provided by financing
activities was used to fund operating activities and purchase monitoring
equipment.
The
Company incurred a net loss of $39,962,842 for the nine months ended June 30,
2008 and a loss from operations of $33,556,614. In addition, the
Company has an accumulated deficit of $173,059,788. These factors, as
well as the risk factors set out in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB/A
for the year ended September 30, 2007 raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated
financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s
plans with respect to this uncertainty are to increase leases of the TrackerPAL
product and to increase monitoring services revenues. There can be no
assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to deliver profitable
operating results and pay the Company’s debts as they come
due. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the debt holders will
be willing to convert the debt obligations to equity securities or that the
Company will be successful in raising additional capital from the sale of equity
or debt securities. If the Company is unable to increase cash flows
from operating activities or obtain additional financing, it will be unable to
continue the development of its business and may have to cease
operations.
Contingencies
TrackerPAL
Revisions and Enhancements
During
the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company discovered several problems with
the TrackerPAL device. These problems included: 1) water ingression
into the device; 2) battery and charger life and functionality; 3) GPS signal
strength; and 4) device becoming aesthetically damaged while removing it from an
offender. The Company has implemented a plan and is continuing to
correct these issues and enhance the reliability of the device.
Item
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Our
business is extending to several countries outside the United States, and we
intend to continue to expand our foreign operations. As a result, our
revenues and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, interest rates, and other uncertainties inherent in doing
business in more than one currency. In addition, our operations are
exposed to risks that are associated with changes in social, political, and
economic conditions in the foreign countries in which we operate, including
changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment, as well as, to
a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to
foreign trade and investment.
Foreign Currency
Risks. Revenues from sources outside the United States
represented 10% and 17% of our total revenues for the nine months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Sales of monitoring equipment during the
periods indicated were transacted in U.S. dollars and, therefore, the Company
did not experience any effect from foreign currency exchange in connection with
these international sales. Changes in currency exchange rates affect
the relative prices at which we sell our products. Given the
uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of
these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of
operations, or financial condition.
29
We do not
use foreign currency exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments for
trading or speculative purposes. To the extent foreign sales become a
more significant part of our business in the future, we may seek to implement
strategies which make use of these or other instruments in order to minimize the
effects of foreign currency exchange on our business.
Interest Rate
Risks. As of June 30, 2008, we had $1,491,352 of borrowings
outstanding on a line of credit with a weighted-average interest rate of
18%. In addition, we had $65,184 of borrowings outstanding on a line
of credit with two banks with a weighted average interest rate of
10.05%. The interest rates on these lines of credit are subject to
change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the
Prime Rate as published in The
Wall Street Journal.
Item
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
required time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding
disclosure.
As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation,
under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
September 30, 2007. In our evaluation, we identified deficiencies
that existed in the tracking of leased equipment, revenue recognition, expense
classification, and design or operation of our internal control over financial
reporting that we and our independent registered public accounting firm
considered to be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a
significant deficiency or combination of significant deficiencies that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial information will not be prevented or detected.
The
deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting were detected in
the evaluation process and are being appropriately recorded and disclosed going
forward. We are in the process of improving our internal control over
financial reporting in an effort to resolve these deficiencies and improve the
supervision and training of our staff. Additional effort is needed to
fully remedy these deficiencies. Our management, audit committee, and
directors will continue to work with our auditors and outside advisors to ensure
that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.
Based on
the matters identified above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective. These deficiencies have been disclosed to our audit
committee.
Changes in Internal Control
over Financial Reporting. Other than as described above, there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules
13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness
of Controls. A system of controls, however well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the system will
meet its objectives. The design of a control system is based, in part, upon the
benefits of the control system relative to its costs. Control systems can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the control. In addition, over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In addition, the
design of any control system is based in part upon assumptions about the
likelihood of future events.
Section 404
Assessment. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires
management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal controls and an
attestation of the effectiveness of these controls by our independent registered
public accounting firm beginning with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2008. We plan to dedicate significant resources, including
management time and effort, in connection with our Section 404 assessment. The
evaluation of our internal controls will be conducted under the direction of our
senior management. We will continue to work to improve our controls and
procedures, and to educate and train our employees on our existing controls and
procedures in connection with our efforts to maintain an effective controls
infrastructure at our Company.

1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Satellite Tracking of
People, L.L.C. (a/k/a STOP, LLC) and Michelle Enterprises, LLC v. Pro Tech
Monitoring, Inc., Omnilink Systems, Inc., and SecureAlert, Inc., Case No. 2-08CV-116:
A patent infringement suit was filed against the Company and other defendants in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on March 19,
2008. Plaintiffs have alleged that the Defendants infringe United States
Patent No. RE39,909 ('909 Patent), Tracking System for Locational
Tracking of Monitored Persons. On May 14, 2008, the Company
answered the complaint, denying Plaintiffs allegations and asserting various
affirmative defenses. The Company also asserted a counterclaim for declaratory
judgment that the Company has not infringed the '909 Patent and that the patent
is invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend the case and prosecute its
counterclaim. The Company has not accrued any potential loss as the probability
of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation
with legal counsel.
RemoteMDx, Inc. v. Satellite
Tracking of People, L.L.C. (a/k/a STOP, LLC), Case No. CV08-02899,
Central District California: The Company filed a patent infringement
suit against STOP in the United States District Court for the Central District
of California on May 2, 2008. The Company has asserted that STOP
infringes United States Patent No. 7,330,122 for a remote tracking and
communication device and method for processing data from the device ("'122
patent"), in which the Company holds all rights and interests. STOP
moved to dismiss the original complaint and also filed an answer and
counterclaim. The motion to dismiss was granted with leave to
amend. The Company filed an amended complaint on August 5,
2008. The amended complaint seeks damages for infringement according
to proof, treble damages, injunctive relief enjoining the infringement, and
costs and attorney's fees. STOP's counterclaim is for declaratory
relief, seeking a declaration that STOP has not infringed the '122 patent and
that the '122 patent is invalid. The Company filed an answer to the
counterclaim. A Scheduling Conference currently is set for September
8, 2008. No discovery has taken place at this time. The
Company intends to vigorously prosecute its claims and defend against the
counterclaim.
Strategic Growth
International, Inc., v. RemoteMDx, Case No. 06-3915, Southern District of
New York. This action was filed in response to an action previously
filed by the Company against Strategic Growth International, Inc. ("SGI") in
Utah. The action arises out of a contract between SGI and the Company
for certain investor relations related services to be performed by
SGI. SGI and its principals' original complaint alleged a single
claim for Breach of Contract seeking recovery of: 1) the balance it claims
remains due under the contract (approximately $80,000); 2) the value of options
to purchase 500,000 shares of restricted RemoteMDx common stock at $0.50 per
share; and 3) the value of one million shares of restricted RemoteMDx common
stock. In its Answer and Counterclaims, the Company denied SGI's allegations and
asserted counterclaims for: (1) breach of contract; (2) rescission;
and (3) declaratory judgment. On October 29, 2007, the Company
amended its Answer and Counterclaims to assert an additional claim against SGI
for fraudulent inducement, seeking rescission of its contract with SGI and the
return of amounts the Company paid SGI under the contract. On
December 31, 2007, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on its
fraudulent inducement claim. On January 18, 2008, SGI filed a
cross-motion for partial summary judgment. On April 17, 2008, SGI
amended its complaint to assert a claim for conversion with respect to the
options and shares which are the subject of SGI's breach of contract
claim. On May 2, 2008, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
conversion claim. On April 23, 2008, SGI sought an order permitting
the attachment of the Company's assets in the State of New York. The
Court has heard arguments on each of these motions but has not yet issued
rulings on the motions. Discovery is ongoing solely as to SGI's
conversion claim. Discovery is to conclude by September 30, 2008 and
a final pretrial conference is scheduled for December 17, 2008. The
Company intends to vigorously defend itself against SGI's claims and to
vigorously prosecute its counterclaims against SGI. The Company has
not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss
is deemed remote by management, after consultation with legal
counsel.
31
Informal
Inquiry. In March 2008, the Company was advised by letter from
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Salt Lake District Office,
that it has begun an informal inquiry regarding the Company. The
inquiry, among other items, relates to the company’s: revenue
recognition policy and documents; its relationship with stockholders; and the
Company’s business. The SEC has advised the Company in its
correspondence that this informal inquiry should not be construed as an
indication that any violation of law has occurred, nor should it be considered a
reflection upon any person, entity, or security. We voluntarily
disclosed this inquiry in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2008. There were no material developments in
this matter during the most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2008.
Item
1A. RISK
FACTORS
We
attempt to identify, manage and mitigate the risks and uncertainties that are
associated with our business to the extent practical. However, some
level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Our Annual
Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, as amended, describes some
of the risks and uncertainties that are associated with our
business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to
materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, projected results and future prospects. In addition, we note
the following:
Our
business plan anticipates significant growth through sales and acquisitions. To
manage the expected growth the Company will require capital and there is no
assurance it will be successful in obtaining necessary additional
funding.
Item
2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS
The
Company did not repurchase any of its own shares during the nine months ended
June 30, 2008.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued shares of common stock in
connection with the conversion of preferred stock, the exercise of warrants, and
in payment of dividends and in other transactions not involving a public sale or
offering of such shares, and without registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as follows:
|
·
|
7,025,000
shares were issued for services performed for a value of
$10,972,750. The shares were issued without registration under
the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
|
|
·
|
325,000
shares were issued to settle a lawsuit for a value of
$572,000.
|
As
indicated above, the recipients of the shares in the above transactions were
current stockholders, affiliates, employees, or service providers to the
Company. Each had a pre-existing relationship with the Company and
was provided with the information available in the Company’s public
filings. The transactions described above did not involve any public
solicitation or similar activity by the Company and each transaction was a
private transaction in which the recipient was advised that the shares issued
were restricted shares, not freely transferable, and subject to the restrictions
against resale of federal and applicable state securities laws. The
certificates issued representing the shares in each case contained a restrictive
legend, advising that the resale of the securities was subject to registration
under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration provisions of
such act. In entering into these transactions the Company relied on
exemptions available for offers and sales of securities not involving a public
offering, including, without limitation, the exemptions from the registration
requirements provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation Regulation
D.
In
addition to the sales of unregistered securities reported above, the Company
issued 177,898 shares of common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2008
from SecureAlert Series A Preferred stock dividends.
