TRACK GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of Track Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company“ or “Track Group“) has been prepared in accordance with the Instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC“).  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP“) 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, 2016, and results of its operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016.  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-K for the year ended September 30, 2015.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.

(2)  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Track Group and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts on the consolidated statement of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

(3)  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB“) or other standard setting bodies, which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
 
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, (“ASU 2016-10“). This update was intended to clarify two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The effective date for ASU 2016-10 is the same as Topic 606, which begins for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-10 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).  This update was intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this update have the same effective date as ASC 606 as discussed above. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-08 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):  Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update change the accounting for certain stock-based compensation transactions, including the income tax consequences and cash flow classification for applicable transactions. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 841). For lessees, the amendments in this update require that for all leases not considered to be short term, a company recognize both a lease liability and right-of-use asset on its balance sheet, representing the obligation to make payments and the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17“). Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this Update. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after March 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
-4-

 
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16“). ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning March 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, (“ASU 2015-11“). ASU 2015-11 requires that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, unless the entity is using the LIFO or retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2015-11 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, (“ASU 2015-03“). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods, with earlier adoption permitted. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2015-03 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(4)  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 and in the case of goodwill, at least annually. The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment as of each balance sheet date. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value, 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 is an identifiable fair value that is independent of other groups of assets.  The Company recorded $60,000 and $85,221 of impairment expenses related to monitoring equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded $120,000 and $140,301 of impairment expenses related to monitoring equipment for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(5)  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities

Pursuant to ASC No. 805-10-25, if the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, but during the allowed measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, by means of adjusting the amount recognized for goodwill.

Contingent Consideration

In certain acquisitions, the Company agrees to pay additional amounts to sellers contingent upon achievement by the acquired businesses of certain negotiated future goals, such as targeted earnings levels. The Company records contingent consideration based on its estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The Company evaluates and adjusts the value of contingent consideration, if necessary, at each reporting period based on the progress toward and likely achievement of certain targets on which issuance of the contingent consideration is based. Any differences between the acquisition-date fair value and the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are recognized in current period earnings until the arrangement is settled.

(6)  ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive loss includes net loss as currently reported under U.S. GAAP and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss considers the effects of additional economic events, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, that are not required to be recorded in determining net loss, but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Chilean Peso, New Israeli Shekel and the Canadian Dollar are used as functional currencies of the following operating subsidiaries: (i) Track Group Chile SpA; (ii) Track Group International Ltd.; and (iii) Track Group Analytics Limited, respectively. The balance sheets of all subsidiaries have been converted into United States Dollars (USD) at the exchange rate prevailing at March 31, 2016.

(7)  NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders 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 shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 436,705 and 262,603 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, respectively as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

(8)  ACQUISITION
 
Track Group Analytics Limited

On November 26, 2014, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to purchase from the shareholders of Track Group Analytics Limited, formerly G2 Research Limited (“TGA“), all issued and outstanding shares of TGA for an aggregate purchase price of up to CAD$4,600,000 (the “TGA Acquisition“), of which CAD$2,000,000 was paid in cash to the TGA shareholders on the Closing Date with the remainder of the purchase price to be paid as follows: (i) CAD$600,000 to the former TGA shareholders in shares of common stock of which one-half of the shares were issued on the one-year anniversary of the closing and the balance to be issued on the two-year anniversary of the closing; and (ii) the CAD$2,000,000 to the former TGA shareholders in shares of common stock  over a two-year period beginning as of the closing, upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in the purchase agreement. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had issued 38,499 shares of common stock in connection to this acquisition and 70,962 shares of common stock to the TGA shareholders upon achieving certain performance milestones.
 
During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company received the final valuation report for the TGA Acquisition. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2016 has been retrospectively adjusted to include the effect of the measurement period adjustments as required under ASC 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805“). The revisions to the purchase price allocation for the acquisition resulted from the Company’s finalization of valuation of long-term and intangible assets with consideration of the valuation report obtained from a third party appraisal firm. The aforementioned adjustments resulted in a retrospective adjustment to goodwill by $2,384,000 and other intangibles by $1,817,000. The $1,653,000 in goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value of patents, developed technology, customer contracts/relationship, tradename and trademarks were capitalized as of the acquisition date and will be subsequently amortized using a straight-line method to depreciation and amortization expense over their estimated useful lives.

On July 14, 2015, we entered into an Amended and Restated Facility Agreement (the “Amended Facility Agreement“) with Conrent Invest S.A.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended Facility Agreement, effective June 30, 2015, the Company was able to borrow an additional $5.4 million of unsecured debt, which, together with the $25.0 million of unsecured debt previously borrowed under the debt facility, now accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum and mature on July 31, 2018. The Amended Facility Agreement also provides the Company with a voluntary prepayment option, whereby the Company may pay all amounts borrowed, including all accrued but unpaid interest, prior to the maturity date without any penalty or prepayment fee. In connection with the execution of the Amended Facility Agreement, the Company used the available $5.4 million to pay to Conrent an arrangement fee of $500,000 and $822,222 of accrued but unpaid interest. During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company received the remaining $4.08 million.

(20)  STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Incentive Plan

At the annual meeting of shareholders on March 21, 2011, the shareholders approved the 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan“).  The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and performance-based awards to employees and certain non-employees who provide services to the Company in lieu of cash. A total of 90,000 shares were initially authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2012 Plan. At the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders held on May 19, 2015, our stockholders approved a 713,262 share increase to the total number of shares authorized under the 2012 Plan.   During the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 78,076 warrants were issued under the 2012 Plan.  As of March 31, 2016, 388,333 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2012 Plan.

 All Options and Warrants

The fair value of each stock option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 78,076 and 14,988 warrants to purchase shares of common stock. These warrants vested immediately and expire two years from grant date. Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company extended the life of 129,808 warrants which had been granted during 2013 and 2014, and recorded an expense of $39,929.  The Company also recorded $112,519 and $50,054 of expense for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the issuance and vesting of outstanding stock options and warrants. 

The option and warrant grants for six months ended March 31, 2016 were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
   
2016
   
2015
 
Expected stock price volatility
    71 %     76 %
Risk-free interest rate
    0.86 %     0.54 %
Expected life of options
 
2 Years
   
2 Years
 
 
The expected life of stock options (warrants) represents the period of time that the stock options or warrants are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method allowed under GAAP. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related stock options (warrants). The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividends over the expected life of the stock options (warrants).

General

Our core business is based on the manufacture and leasing of patented tracking and monitoring solutions to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, both in the U.S and abroad, for the electronic monitoring of offenders and offering unique data analytics services on a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) business model.  Currently, the Company deploys offender based management services that combine patented GPS tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 global monitoring capabilities, case management, and proprietary data analytics. We offer customizable tracking solutions that leverage real-time tracking data, best-practices monitoring, and analytics capabilities to create complete, end-to-end tracking solutions.

Our devices consist of the ReliAlert, Shadow and R.A.D.A.R.  These devices are leased on a daily rate basis and may be combined with our monitoring center services, proprietary software and data analytics subscription to provide an end-to-end PaaS.
 
ReliAlert and Shadow.  Our tracking devices utilize patented technology and are securely attached around an offender’s ankle with a tamper resistant strap that cannot be adjusted or removed without detection, unless by a supervising officer, and which is activated through services provided by our Monitoring Centers (or other agency-based monitoring centers). The ReliAlert and Shadow units are intelligent devices with integrated computer circuitry, utilizing both GPS and RF, and constructed from case-hardened plastics designed to promptly notify the intervention centers of any attempt made to breach applicable protocols, or to remove or otherwise tamper with the device or optical strap housing. The ReliAlert platform incorporates voice communication technology that provides officers with 24/7/365 voice communication with the offenders. Both devices are FCC, CE and PTCRB certified and protected by numerous patents and trademarks.
 
R.A.D.A.R.  Our Real-Time Alcohol Detection and Recognition (R.A.D.A.R.) device is comprehensive proprietary alcohol offender supervision and monitoring system with a fuel-cell based, breath-alcohol testing system that incorporates a number of safeguards to prevent tampering, including biometric user identification to provide accurate, actionable alcohol alerts. All breath-alcohol tests are time stamped and include a GPS fix.  The web-enabled reporting center assures testing compliance with notifications via text or email.
 
Monitoring Center Services.  Our monitoring center facilities provide live 24/7/365 monitoring of all alarms generated from our devices, as well as customer and technical support. Our monitoring center operators play a vital role, and as such, we staff our centers with highly-trained, bi-lingual individuals. These operators act as an extension of agency resources receiving alarms, communicating and intervening with offenders regarding violations, and interacting with supervision staff, all pursuant to agency-established protocols.  The facilities have redundant power source, battery back-up and triple redundancy in voice, data, and IP. The Company has established monitoring centers in Salt Lake City, Utah USA, and Santiago, Chile, SA.  In addition the Company has assisted in the establishment of monitoring centers for customers and local partners in the Bahamas and in Puerto Rico.
 
Data Analytics Services.  Our TrackerPAL software, TrackerPAL Mobile, combined with our Data Analytic analysis tools, provide an integrated platform allowing case managers and law enforcement officers’ quick access views of a targets travel behavior, mapping, and provide inference on patterns.  Our advanced data analytics service offers a highly complex predictive reporting mechanism that combines modern statistical methods, developed using computer science and used by intelligence agencies that separate noteworthy events from normal events, rank offender cases according to their need for supervision, and relate decision-relevant metrics to benchmarks in real-time.

Virginia Department of Corrections Agreement

On October 1, 2015, the Company executed an agreement with the Virginia Department of Corrections (the "Department") to provide electronic monitoring services across the full range of sentences under the Department's oversight, pursuant to which the Company will provide solutions based on GPS and biometric voice verification technology designed to monitor over 16,000 offenders and defendants. The term of the Agreement is six years, with a minimum two-year period, and is valued at approximately $11.3 million.

Increase of Authorized Common Stock

The holder of a majority of the Company’s voting stock executed a written consent approving an amendment (the “Amendment“) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 15.0 million shares to 30.0 million shares.  The Amendment was filed during the quarter ended March 31, 2016
 
Strategy

Our global growth strategy is to continue to expand service offerings on a subscription basis that empowers professionals in security, law enforcement, corrections and rehabilitation organizations worldwide with a single-sourced, real-time, end-to-end offender management solution that integrates reliable intervention technologies to support re-socialization, monitoring, and predictive analytics for offenders. To accomplish this objective, we have and will continue to innovate and grow our portfolio of proprietary and non-proprietary real-time monitoring and intervention products and services. These include GPS, RF, drug and alcohol testing for offenders, and predictive analytics.  Given the flexibility of our platform, our device technology, tracking, monitoring, and analytical capabilities, we believe that our solutions may apply to other industry verticals that require tracking, monitoring and predictive analytics.

Critical Accounting Policies

From time to time, management reviews and evaluates certain accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial position.
 
A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies that affect the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015. Such policies were unchanged during the six months ended March 31, 2016.
 
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.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015.

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized revenue from operations of $6,592,039, compared to $4,816,117 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $1,775,922 (37%).  The increase in revenues was principally the result of (i) increased sales generated by our Chilean operations, (ii) increases in organic growth from our North American operations, and (iii) to a lesser extent, increases in revenue generated by our analytics offerings.
 
Product revenue decreased $21,867 (12%) from $185,561 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, to $163,694 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in product revenues was the result of fewer sales of products as the Company continues to concentrate sales efforts on a subscription based solution.
 
Cost of Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, cost of revenue totaled $2,473,469 compared to cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $2,029,408, an increase of $444,061 (22%).  The increase in cost of revenue was largely the result of increases in total monitoring and other related services deployed in domestic and international operations, and to a lesser extent, an increase in analytics services attributable to our Canadian subsidiary.
 
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $580,785 and $366,853, respectively. The $213,932 (58%) increase in costs principally represents depreciation of monitoring devices as well as the amortization of certain royalty agreements. Devices are depreciated over a three to five year useful life. Royalty agreements are being amortized over a ten year useful life. The Company believes these lives are appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses estimates for useful lives of assets for appropriateness. 

The Company expects cost of revenue as a percentage of revenues to decrease in the foreseeable future due to (i) lower manufacturing costs, (ii) procurement and fulfillment outsourcing, and (iii) efficiencies due to further increases in automation of our proprietary software.

Impairment cost for equipment and parts for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $60,000 and $85,221, respectively.  These costs relate to disposal of obsolete inventory, monitoring equipment and parts as we continue to make significant enhancements to our various devices.

Gross Profit and Margin

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, gross profit totaled $4,118,570, or 62% of net revenue compared to $2,786,709, or 58% of net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in gross profit and margin are due to (i) higher overall revenues, and (ii) lower incremental cost due to more efficient and cost effective supply channels, outsourcing, and software automation.

Research and Development Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, research and development expense totaled $612,595 compared to $378,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $234,274 (62%).   The Company is significantly enhancing its technology platform to improve the efficiency of its software, firmware and user interface. As a result of these improvements, $646,876 was capitalized as developed technology during the three months ended March 31, 2016. A portion of these expenses would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant enhancements.

General and Administrative Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, general and administrative expense totaled $3,424,342 compared to $3,403,573 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase of $20,769 (1%) in general and administrative cost resulted largely from increases in stock compensation expense associated with the vesting schedule under the Company’s 2012 long term incentive program offset by decreases in total other operating expenses.

Selling and Marketing Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, selling and marketing expense increased to $593,272 compared to $528,704 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $64,568 (12%), increase was principally to address domestic and international growth initiatives that resulted in increases in spending on trade show expenses, travel, and outside marketing service providers.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $734,569 compared to $709,924 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $24,645 (3%) increase was largely the result of depreciation and amortization resulting from higher monitoring devices deployed domestically and internationally.

Other Income and Expense
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net interest expense was $631,409 compared to $633,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $1,952. This decrease in net interest expense resulted primarily from interest income generated in 2016 which was not generated during 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received $4.7 million in disgorgement profits from one of our shareholders, pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (see Note 18 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). No similar transactions occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $1,920,689 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a net income of $1,387,470 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $3,308,159.  This decrease is largely due to a disgorgement of funds received in 2015 which was not received during 2016, offset by an increase in the Company’s total revenue and decreases in both overall cost of revenues and operating expenses, as a percentage of incremental revenue.
 
Six Months Ended March 31, 2016, Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2015

Revenue

For the six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized revenues from operations of $12,909,643, compared to $9,436,736 for the six months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $3,472,907 (37%).  Of these revenues, $12,655,031 and $9,159,586, respectively, were from monitoring and other related services, an increase of $3,495,445 (38%).  The increase in revenues was principally the result of (i) increased sales generated by out Chilean operations, (ii) increases in organic growth from our North American operations, and (iii) to a lesser extent, increases in revenue generated by our analytics offerings.
 
Product revenues decreased $22,538 (8%) from $277,150 for the six months ended March 31, 2015, to $254,612 for the six months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was the result of fewer sales of products as the Company continues to focus on subscription based service revenues.
 
Our international operations expose us to certain currency fluctuations of the local currency in relation to the dollar; therefore, foreign currencies may appreciate or depreciate due to inflation or devaluation in relation to the dollar. We cannot predict foreign currency volatility in relation to the dollar.
  
Cost of Revenue

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, cost of revenues totaled $4,902,648 compared to cost of revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $4,074,575, an increase of $828,073 (20%).  The increase in cost of revenue was largely the result of increases in total monitoring and other related services deployed in domestic and international operations, and to a lesser extent, an increase in analytics services attributable to our Canadian subsidiary.
 
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $1,009,752 and $733,705, respectively. This $276,047 (38%) increase in costs represent depreciation of TrackerPALTM and ReliAlert devices as well as the amortization of certain royalty agreements. Devices are depreciated over a three to five year useful life. Royalty agreements are being amortized over a ten year useful life. The Company believes these lives are appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses estimates for useful lives of assets for appropriateness. 

The Company expects the cost of revenue as a percentage of revenues to decrease in the foreseeable future due to (i) lower manufacturing costs, (ii) procurement and fulfillment outsourcing, and (iii) efficiencies due to further increases in automation of our proprietary software.

Impairment cost for equipment and parts for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $120,000 and $140,301, respectively.  These costs resulted from the disposal of obsolete inventory, monitoring equipment and parts as we continue to make significant enhancements to our various devices.

Gross Profit and Margin

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, gross profit totaled $8,006,995, or 62% of net revenues compared to $5,362,161, or 57% of net revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in gross profit and margin are due to (i) higher overall revenues, and (ii) lower incremental cost due to more efficient and cost effective supply channels, outsourcing, and software automation.

Research and Development Expense

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, research and development expense totaled $1,159,745 compared to research and development expense for the six months ended March 31, 2015 totaling $695,103, an increase of $464,642 (67%).   These research and development costs were incurred to improve efficiency in the software, firmware and hardware of our products and services. The Company is currently enhancing its software platform. As a result of these improvements, $1,089,454 was capitalized as developed technology during the six months ended March 31, 2016. A portion of these expenses would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant software enhancements.

General and Administrative Expense

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, general and administrative expense totaled $6,835,985 compared to $6,253,504 for the six months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase of $582,481 (9%) in general and administrative cost resulted largely from (i) increases in payroll and benefits costs, (ii) stock compensation expense associated with vesting schedule under the Company’s 2012 Plan, and (iii) other operating expenses including professional fees, bad debt, and outside services.

Selling and Marketing Expense

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, selling and marketing expense totaled $1,213,301 compared to $971,407 for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The $241,894 (25%) increase was principally the result of (i) increases in commissions and royalty payments resulting from higher revenue, (ii) increases in outside marketing service providers including travel, and (iii) an increases in trade show participation expense in order to meet growth initiatives.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

During the six months ended March 31, 2016, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $1,434,604 compared to $1,304,367 for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The $130,237 (10%) increase was largely the result of depreciation and amortization during the period on higher devices deployed and those assets acquired during the previous year.

Other Income and Expense
 
For the six months ended March 31, 2016, net interest expense was $1,325,917 compared to $1,305,852 for the six months ended March 31, 2015.  This nominal increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the increase in interest bearing debt outstanding, offset by an increase in interest income during the six months ended March 31, 2016 when compared to the six months ended March 31, 2015.
  
Net Loss

The Company had a net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2016 totaling $4,047,918 compared to a net loss of $827,745 for the six months ended March 31, 2015.  This increase is largely due to disgorgement funds received in 2015 which was not received during 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently is unable to finance its business solely from cash flows from operating activities. During the prior year, the Company supplemented cash flows to finance the business from borrowings under a credit facility, disgorgement funds, and from the sale and issuance of debt securities. No such borrowings or sales of equity securities occurred during the three or six months ended March 31, 2016. In addition to cash from operations, unused credit facilities, repayment of loans by our Chilean subsidiary, and additional funding from the Amended and Restated Facility Agreement with Conrent Invest S.A., available cash resources at March 31, 2016 are anticipated to meet the Company's working capital requirements for the next twelve months.
 
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had unrestricted cash of $2,158,531 and a working capital surplus of $5,328,867, compared to unrestricted cash of $4,903,045 and a working capital surplus of $7,397,132 as of September 30, 2015.  

The Company used cash of $2,573,846 for investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $3,816,211 of cash used in investing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2015. Cash used for investing activities was used for significant enhancements of its software platform and used for purchases of monitoring and other equipment to meet demand during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 
The Company used $986,292 of cash for financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1,207,866 in cash used in the six months ended March 31, 2015. Cash used in financing activities was for principal payments applied toward a perpetual license agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2016. This monthly obligation of $187,500 per month was satisfied in February 2016.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The business extends 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  
 
We had $5,134,577 and $2,813,722 in revenues from sources outside the United States for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Although we typically transact the sale of monitoring equipment and services in U.S. Dollars, we do receive payments in an equivalent value of foreign currencies which resulted in foreign exchange losses of $84,557 and  $374,002 during the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products and purchase goods and services.  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.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act“), (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the members of our Executive Committee (our acting principal executive officers) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Executive Committee and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Based on this evaluation, our Executive Committee and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.

Changes in Internal Controls

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed.  There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended March 31, 2016 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
