REMOTEMDX,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) 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
March 31, 2008, and results of its operations for the three and six months ended
March 31, 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 December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended March 31, 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 six months ended
March 31, 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:

Changes
to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2007 include the following:
·
|
During
the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded $33,333 in
revenues and $22,894 in cost of revenues related to the sales of devices
previously deferred resulting in a decrease in net loss of
$10,439.
|
·
|
During
the six months ended March 31, 2007, the Company deferred revenues of
$366,667 and deferred cost of revenues of $251,834 related to sales of
devices resulting in an increase in net loss of
$114,833.
|
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 six months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company disposed of $563,653 and $1,414,244,
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, the conversion of the convertible debentures and related
accrued interest, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. As of
March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 17,455,912 and 43,266,137 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 March 31, 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 17,334,951 shares underlying
options and warrants. Of the 17,334,951 shares underlying options and warrants,
13,324,951 shares underlie options and warrants which have vested and 4,010,000
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 25,000 stock options to an employee
during the six months ended March 31, 2008. The Company granted 275,000 stock
options to employees during the six months ended March 31, 2007. The weighted
average fair value of stock options at the date of grant during the six months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.91 and $1.44, 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 six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

(9) RELATED-PARTY
LINE OF CREDIT
As of March 31, 2008, the Company owed ADP Management, an entity owned and controlled by two of the Company’s officers and directors, $38,860 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 six months ended March 31, 2008, the net decrease in borrowings under this line of credit was $200,903. The decrease of $200,903 consisted of cash repayments of $575,963 offset, in part, by $375,060 of monthly management fees owed to ADP Management, and expenses incurred by ADP Management that are reimbursable by the Company. Mr. Derrick and 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.

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

losses, (2) RemoteMDx has funded and will continue to fund Volu-Sol’s working
capital needs, (3) Volu-Sol’s three directors are also directors of RemoteMDx,

SecureAlert,
Inc. Preferred Stock
As of

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

aggregate of 20 percent ownership of the common shares of SecureAlert,
Inc.

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

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 ("'122 patent"), in which the Company holds all rights and
interests. The complaint seeks damages according to proof, treble
damages, injunctive relief enjoining the infringement, and costs and attorney's
fees. STOP has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and an answer
and counterclaim. The Company has filed an opposition to STOP's
motion to dismiss, which is set to be heard on June 30, 2008. STOP's
counterclaim is for declaratory relief and seeks a declaration that STOP has not
infringed the '122 patent and that the '122 patent is invalid. The
Company response to the counterclaim is due on June 24, 2008. A
Scheduling Conference has been set for August 4, 2008. No discovery
has taken place at this time. The Company intends to vigorously
prosecute its claims and defend the against the counterclaim.
Onyx Consulting Group, LLC
v. RemoteMDx. The dispute arises out of an agreement between
Onyx Consulting Group, LLC (“Onyx”) and the Company pursuant to which Onyx
agreed to provide investor relations related services to the
Company. On October 9, 2007, Onyx served its Statement of Claim, in
which it asserted a claim for breach of contract, seeking as damages the value
of 750,000 shares of restricted RemoteMDx common stock it claims it is due under
the agreement. On May 19, 2008, the Company settled this matter by
issuing 325,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock to
Onyx.
Strategic Growth
International, Inc., v. RemoteMDx,, 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. The
court heard arguments on the motions on April 23, 2008 but has not yet issued a
decision. 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, which is scheduled to be
argued on May 28, 2008. On April 23, 2008, SGI sought an order
permitting the attachment of the Company's assets in the State of New
York. The Court heard argument on the motion on April 30, 2008 but
has not yet issued a ruling. Discovery is ongoing and a final
pretrial conference is set for September 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.

America criminal justice system at any given time. The TrackerPAL is targeted to
meet the needs of this market as well as the international market.
Strategy
Our goal
is to establish the Company as a provider of leading technology and services to
a significant portion of the parolee and probation market
population.
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.
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.
22
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.
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.
23
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 six
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company impaired $563,653 and
$1,414,244, 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 25,000 stock options to an employee during the six
months ended March 31, 2008. The Company granted 275,000 stock options to
employees during the six months ended March 31, 2007. The weighted average fair
value of stock options at the date of grant during the six months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.91 and $1.44, 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.

six months ended March 31, 2008, interest expense totaled $773,748 compared to
$557,250 for the six months ended March 31, 2007. The increase of $216,498
resulted primarily from the debt obligations acquired from Midwest and Court
Programs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company is presently unable to finance its business solely from cash flows from
operating activities. During the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company
financed its business primarily from the sale and issuance of common stock of

capital deficit of $3,234,852, compared to unrestricted cash of $5,556,275 and
working capital of $1,296,985 as of September 30, 2007. For the six
months ended March 31, 2008, the Company's operating activities used cash of
$1,585,187, compared to $3,092,334 of cash used in operating activities for the
six months ended March 31, 2007.
The
Company used cash of $320,854 for investing activities during the six months
ended March 31, 2008, compared to $8,441,625 of cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended March 31, 2007.
The
Company's financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2008, provided
cash of $1,471,432 compared to $10,520,712 for the six months ended March 31,
2007. For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had net proceeds of
$4,598,333 from the sale of equity securities by the Company’s subsidiary,
Volu-Sol, $2,658,380 from the exercise of warrants, $23,410 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 $3,123,036 due to
payments on the bank line of credit, $575,963 in net payments on the
related-party line of credit, and $2,270,590 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 $22,460,024 for the six months ended March 31,
2008 and a loss from operations of $16,071,594. In addition, the
Company has an accumulated deficit of $155,556,970. 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 to correct these issues
and expects it to be complete by June 30, 2008.
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 16% and 35% of our total revenues for the six months ended March 31,
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
the 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.
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.
29
Interest Rate
Risks. As of March 31, 2008, we had $735,949 of borrowings
outstanding on a line of credit with a weighted-average interest rate of
18%. In addition, we had $72,194 of borrowings outstanding on a line
of credit with two banks with a weighted average interest rate of
10.17%. 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 ("'122 patent"), in which the Company holds all rights and
interests. The complaint seeks damages according to proof, treble
damages, injunctive relief enjoining the infringement, and costs and attorney's
fees. STOP has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and an answer
and counterclaim. The Company has filed an opposition to STOP's
motion to dismiss, which is set to be heard on June 30, 2008. STOP's
counterclaim is for declaratory relief and seeks a declaration that STOP has not
infringed the '122 patent and that the '122 patent is invalid. The
Company response to the counterclaim is due on June 24, 2008. A
Scheduling Conference has been set for August 4, 2008. No discovery
has taken place at this time. The Company intends to vigorously
prosecute its claims and defend the against the counterclaim.
Onyx Consulting Group, LLC
v. RemoteMDx. The dispute arises out of an agreement between
Onyx and the Company pursuant to which Onyx agreed to provide investor relations
related services to the Company. On October 9, 2007, Onyx served its
Statement of Claim, in which it asserted a claim for breach of contract, seeking
as damages the value of 750,000 shares of restricted RemoteMDx common stock it
claims it is due under the agreement. On May 19, 2008, the Company
settled this matter by issuing 325,000 restricted shares of RemoteMDx common
stock to Onyx.
Strategic Growth
International, Inc. v. RemoteMDx, 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 pricipals' 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. The
court heard arguments on the motions on April 23, 2008 but has not yet issued a
decision. 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, which is scheduled to be
argued on May 28, 2008. On April 23, 2008, SGI sought an order
permitting the attachment of the Company's assets in the State of New
York. The Court heard argument on the motion on April 30, 2008 but
has not yet issued a ruling. Discovery is ongoing and a final
pretrial conference is set for September 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.
Informal
Inquiry. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 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
are disclosing voluntarily this inquiry and we are cooperating fully with the
SEC.
31
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.
