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


(1)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of SecureAlert, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SecureAlert”) has been prepared in accordance with the Instructions to Form 10-Q and 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 (“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 June 30, 2011, and results of its operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  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, as amended, for the year ended September 30, 2010.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.

(2)
GOING CONCERN
 
The Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities.  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 expanding the market for its ReliAlert™ portfolio of products and services, raising additional capital from the issuance of preferred stock, entering into debt financing agreements.  There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses and repay debts.  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 products and may have to cease operations.
 
(3)           PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SecureAlert and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(4)           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.

(5)           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.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company impaired goodwill from Court Programs, Inc. by $0 and $204,735, respectively.

(6)           REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue has historically been from two sources: (i) monitoring services; and (ii) product sales.

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 7 to 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.

Product Sales
The Company may sell its monitoring devices in certain situations to its customers. In addition, the Company may sell equipment in connection with the building out and setting up a monitoring center on behalf of its customers. 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 or equipment, 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™ and ReliAlert™ 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.

The Company sells and installs standalone tracking systems that do not require ongoing monitoring by the Company.  The Company has experience in component installation costs and direct labor hours related to this type of sale and can typically reasonably estimate costs, therefore the Company recognizes revenue over the period in which the installation services are performed using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for material installations.  The Company typically uses labor hours or costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total estimated labor hours or costs to fulfill the contract as the most reliable and meaningful measure that is available for determining a project’s progress toward completion.  The Company evaluates its estimated labor hours and costs and determines the estimated gross profit or loss on each installation for each reporting period.  If it is determined that total cost estimates are likely to exceed revenues, the Company accrues the estimated losses immediately.

Multiple Element Arrangements
The majority of the Company’s revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. However, on occasion, the Company enters into revenue transactions that have multiple elements.  These may include different combinations of products or monitoring services that are included in a single billable rate.  These products or monitoring services are delivered over time as the customer utilizes the Company's services.  For revenue arrangements that have multiple elements, the Company considers whether the delivered devices have standalone value to the customer, 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 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 provided to the customer as the products or monitoring services are delivered.

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 and products are due upon receipt to 30 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 charged to customers 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.

(8)             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, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock.  As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 247,617,174 and 274,113,290 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.  The common stock equivalents outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, consisted of the following:

(9)             INVENTORY
 
Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost or market.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  Market is determined based on the estimated net realizable value, which generally is the item selling price.  Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete or damaged items or impaired values.

Inventory consists of products that are available for sale and raw materials used in the deployment of TrackerPAL™, ReliAlert™, and other products.  Completed TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices are reflected in Monitoring Equipment.  As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, inventory consisted of the following:

As of September 30, 2010, the Company owed $0 to ADP under the note and $449,755 of accrued interest and origination fees was included in accrued expenses (see Note 13).

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, increases to the note consisted of $515,536 of expenses owed to ADP that are reimbursable by the Company, offset, in part, by cash repayments of $188,634 resulting in an outstanding balance of $326,902 which amount was converted on June 30, 2011 into 654 shares of Series D Preferred stock ($500 to 1 share rate, effective conversion rate of $0.08 per share of common stock).

Also during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company incurred additional interest due to ADP at an incremental interest rate of 12.75% on a $1,000,000 bank line of credit facilitated by ADP by the pledge of certificates of deposit owned by ADP as collateral for the loan.  As of June 30, 2011, the line of credit was paid in full by ADP and the bank released the Company from its obligation.  The Company executed a promissory note payable to ADP in the amount of $1,000,000 for satisfying the line of credit obligation.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the promissory note of $1,000,000 and $100,831 of related accrued interest were converted into 2,202 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred D stock ($500 to 1 share rate, effective conversion rate of $0.08 per share of common stock).  Additionally, the Company recorded $42,350 as interest expense to account for a beneficial conversion feature in connection with the agreement.

ADP also converted $203,267 of an outstanding balance of $303,267 in connection with unpaid interest and fees into 406 shares of Series D Preferred stock ($500 to 1 share rate, effective conversion rate of $0.08 per share of common stock) resulting in an outstanding balance of $100,000 to be paid in monthly installments of $20,000, ending on December 1, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, ADP loaned and/or assisted in facilitating approximately $4,030,380 of financing to the Company resulting in $403,038 in origination fees in connection with the agreement.

Related-Party Consulting Arrangement

The Company agreed to pay consulting fees to ADP for assisting the Company to develop its new business direction and business plan and to provide introductions to strategic technical and financial partners.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Company paid ADP a consulting fee of $20,000 per month and the Company agreed to reimburse the expenses incurred by ADP in the course of performing services under the consulting arrangement.

The ADP agreement also required ADP to pay the salary of Mr. Derrick as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Board of Directors, with Mr. Derrick abstaining, approved both of these arrangements.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.52 per share to prepay consulting fees to ADP.  Effective July 1, 2010, the Board of Directors and ADP mutually agreed that the 1,000,000 shares of common stock previously issued would be returned and cancelled resulting in no prior obligation outstanding, but the Company would accrue $20,000 per month going forward to pay Mr. Derrick’s base salary.  Despite having returned the shares, the Company recorded $180,000 and $180,000 of expense associated with the consulting agreement during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in connection with the consulting arrangement with ADP.  As of June 30, 2011, the consulting arrangement and all related agreements were terminated upon the resignation of Mr. Derrick from his positions within the Company as disclosed in the Company’s form 8-K filed on July 6, 2011.

All Options and Warrants

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 no stock options during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.  The expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted 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. The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividends over the expected life of the stock options. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company calculated compensation expense of $248,985 and $498,992, respectively, related to the vesting and re-pricing of all stock options and warrants granted in prior years.

Item 2.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking Statements

This Report contains information that constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).  Generally, the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical can be considered to be “forward-looking statements.”  These statements represent our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions, and strategies regarding the future.  They may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “should,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” and “will,” among others.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue, and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund future operations and capital spending needs.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and those described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are contained in this Report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this Report. Except as otherwise indicated, as used in this Report, the terms “the Company,” “SecureAlert,” “we,” “our,” “us,” refer to SecureAlert, Inc., a Utah corporation formerly known as RemoteMDx, Inc.

General

We market and deploy offender management programs, combining patented GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 intervention-based monitoring capabilities and case management services.  Our vision is to become the market leader for delivering offender management solutions that integrate interaction technologies.  We believe that we currently deliver the only offender management technology which integrates GPS, RF (Radio Frequency) and an interactive 3-way voice communication system with siren capabilities into a single device, deployable on offenders worldwide.  Through our patented electronic monitoring technologies and services, we empower law enforcement, corrections and rehabilitation professionals with offender, defendant, probationer and parolee programs, which grant individuals an accountable opportunity to be “free from prison,” while providing for greater public safety at a lower cost in comparison to incarceration or traditional resource-intensive alternatives.

Strategy

We expect to accomplish our objectives through the “value-driven,” yet profitable deployment of a portfolio of proprietary and non-proprietary GPS/RF tracking (which may include alcohol and/or drug tracking), real-time monitoring and intervention products and services to corrections, probation, law enforcement and rehabilitation personnel worldwide, all in support of offender reformation and re-socialization initiatives.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 included in our Form 10-K, as amended, we discuss those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining our results of operations and 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had revenues from operations of $4,430,506, compared to $3,079,226 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $1,351,280 (44%).  Of these revenues, $3,729,220 and $2,992,842 were from monitoring services for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $736,378 (25%).  The increase in monitoring service revenues resulted primarily from a new contract awarded to us to provide monitoring services of offenders in the Bahamas.  Product revenues increased from $86,384 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, to $701,286 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $614,902.  The increase in product revenues resulted primarily from $601,146 of revenues recognized from the partial build out of an on-site incarceration monitoring system. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenues from one-piece activated GPS tracking devices supported entirely about a single limb of the monitored person totaled $1,659,325 and $1,550,152, respectively.
 
Cost of Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, cost of revenues increased to $2,401,070 from $1,715,461 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $685,609 (40%).  Of these costs, $1,952,347 and $1,710,373 were costs associated with providing monitoring services for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $241,974 (14%).  The increase in cost of revenues in connection with providing monitoring services resulted primarily from an increase in monitoring center costs of $70,789 relating to an increase in devices in the field and the addition of on-site alcohol monitoring, increased amortization related to growth in the number of devices of $46,217, and international costs, including the payment of commissions and services of $36,992 related to three new contracts entered into in fiscal year 2011.  Costs associated with product revenues were $448,723 and $5,088 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $443,635. The increase in costs associated with product revenues was primarily attributable to the partial build-out of an on-site incarceration monitoring system of $439,137, and an increase of devices lost or damaged by customers.

Gross Profit and Margin

While focusing on reducing the cost of revenues, we have been able to increase gross profit from $1,363,765, or 44% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010, to $2,029,436, or 46% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Improving gross profit has been achieved primarily through reduced communication and freight cost initiatives and software enhancements.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, research and development expense was $350,296 and $490,258, respectively, and consisted primarily of expenses associated with the development of the ReliAlert™ device and related services both domestically and internationally. Additionally, this decrease was driven by incremental certification costs and related expenses, which were required for the new ReliAlert™ device launch.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses from operations were $3,859,014 compared to $2,703,819 during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase of $1,155,195 is primarily due to increases in consulting of $444,772, bad debt of $247,416, payroll and related taxes of $134,765, international taxes of $132,316, and travel of $86,420. International market growth initiatives have also contributed to the increase of these expenses, as we continue to expand international markets.

Net Loss from Operations

Our operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011, resulted in a net loss of $2,179,874, compared to a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010, of $1,830,312.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense related to operations totaled $143,364 and $229,582, respectively. The decrease of $86,218 resulted primarily from converting certain debt instruments into shares of Series D Preferred stock during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.


Nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to six months ended June 30, 2010
Revenues
 
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we had revenues from operations of $11,996,501, compared to $9,282,137 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $2,714,364 (29%).  Of these revenues, $10,842,430 and $9,056,757 were from monitoring services for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $1,785,673 (20%).  The increase in monitoring service revenues resulted primarily from a new contract awarded to us to provide monitoring services in the Bahamas.  Product revenues increased from $225,380 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, to $1,154,071 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $928,691. The increase in product revenues resulted primarily from $180,000 of revenues recognized from the build-out of a monitoring center in the Bahamas and $646,146 of revenues recognized from the build out of a domestic on-site incarceration monitoring system. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, revenues from one-piece activated GPS tracking devices supported entirely about a single limb of the monitored person equated were $4,816,578 and $4,548,540, respectively.
 
Cost of Revenues

For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, cost of revenues increased to $6,400,925 from $5,375,588, during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $1,025,337 (19%).  Of these costs, $5,756,574 and $5,348,448 were costs associated with providing monitoring services for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $408,126 (8%).  The increase in cost of revenues in connection with providing monitoring services resulted primarily from international costs, including the payment of commissions and services of $626,187 related to three new contracts in fiscal year 2011 and monitoring center costs of $167,915.  These increases were offset by a reduction in communication costs of $493,770.  Costs associated with product revenues were $644,351 and $27,140, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $617,211. The increase in costs associated with product revenues was primarily attributable to the build-out of a monitoring center in the Bahamas, which resulted in $146,202 of expenses, and the partial build-out of an on-site incarceration monitoring system of $399,716.

Gross Profit and Margin

While focusing on reducing the cost of revenues, we have been able to increase gross profit from $3,906,549, or 42% of revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, to $5,595,576, or 47% of revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.  Improving gross profit has been achieved primarily through reduced communication and freight cost initiatives and software enhancements.

Research and Development Expenses

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, research and development expense was $1,126,703 and $1,161,539, respectively, and consisted primarily of expenses associated with the development of the ReliAlert™ device and related services both domestically and internationally. Additionally, this decrease was driven by incremental certification costs and related expenses, which were required for the new ReliAlert™ device launch.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses from operations were $10,748,168, compared to $8,931,801 during the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase of $1,816,367 is primarily due to increases in payroll and related taxes of $641,654, bad debt of $528,751, travel of $259,864, international taxes of $156,393, insurance of $125,881, and outside services of $76,917.  International market growth initiatives have also contributed to the increase of these expenses, as we continue to expand international markets.

Net Loss from Operations

Our operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, resulted in a net loss of $6,279,295, compared to a net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, of $7,541,526.  Earnings (loss) per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was ($0.02) per share, compared to ($0.06) per share in the prior year.

Interest Expense

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense related to operations totaled $635,236 and $3,840,232, respectively. The decrease of $3,204,996 in interest expense resulted primarily from converting certain debt instruments into shares of Series D Preferred stock during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are currently unable to finance our business solely from cash flows from operating activities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we supplemented cash flows to finance our business from the sale and issuance of debt and equity securities, providing net cash proceeds from financing activities of $6,578,255.

As of June 30, 2011, we had unrestricted cash of $665,840 and a working capital deficit of $4,263,930, compared to unrestricted cash of $1,126,232 and a working capital deficit of $3,394,932 as of September 30, 2010.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, our operating activities used cash of $4,712,857 compared to $4,400,336 of cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

We used cash of $2,325,790 for investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,829,584 of cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

Financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, provided cash of $6,578,255, compared to $7,507,554 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, we received net proceeds of $6,074,005 from the sale and issuance of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred stock, proceeds of $1,100,000 from the issuance of related-party debt and $1,282,838 from the issuance of notes payable.  Cash decreased by $1,239,954 due to payments on notes payable, $188,634 in net payments on a related-party line of credit and $450,000 due to payments on related-party notes payable.  Cash provided by financing activities was used to fund operating activities and purchase monitoring equipment.

We incurred a net loss of $6,963,816 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, and a loss from operations of $6,279,295.  In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $226,160,511 as of June 30, 2011.  These factors, as well as the risk factors set out in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Our plans with respect to this uncertainty include raising additional capital from the sale and issuance of equity securities, entering into debt financing agreements and additional borrowings, and expanding our market for our ReliAlert™ portfolio of product and monitoring services.  There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to deliver profitable operating results and pay our debts as they come due.  Likewise, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital from the sale of equity or debt securities.  If we are unable to increase cash flows from operating activities or obtain additional financing, we will be unable to continue the development of our business and may have to cease operations.

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.

 
25

 

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 $1,173,347 and $0 in revenues from sources outside the United States for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Sales of monitoring equipment during the periods indicated were transacted in U.S. dollars and, therefore, we did not experience any effect from foreign currency exchange in connection with these international sales.  We occasionally purchase goods and services in foreign currencies which resulted in currency exchange rate losses of $97 and $8,756 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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

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, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management evaluated,  with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of the our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended June 30, 2011 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                      Legal Proceedings

We are party to the following legal proceedings:

RACO Wireless LLC v SecureAlert, Inc. On October 12, 2010, RACO Wireless filed a complaint alleging that the Company breached a contract by failing to place a sufficient number of RACO SIM chips in its new activations of monitoring devices.  The Company denies these allegations and intends to vigorously defend against this complaint. The Company has also filed a counterclaim against RACO.  Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the parties agreed in principle to settle this litigation, pending preparation of a mutually acceptable settlement agreement and court order which are expected to be finalized by September 30, 2011. We have not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation with legal counsel.

Aculis, Inc. v. SecureAlert, Inc.  Aculis, Inc. filed a complaint in the Fourth District Court in and for Utah County, Utah, on June 7, 2010, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and a claim for $208,889 in unpaid products and services, incremental to the $4,840,891 that the Company has already paid to Aculis.  The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue or for Change of Venue and supporting memorandum on July 16, 2010.  Aculis filed its Memorandum in Opposition to the Motion to Dismiss on August 5, 2010.  The Company has filed a counterclaim seeking rescission of the contract and refund of all amounts paid to Aculis.  The parties have participated in mediation, and the lawsuit is proceeding. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests and to pursue all appropriate counterclaims against Aculis. We have not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation with legal counsel.
