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 (“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 December 31, 2012, and results of its operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 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, 2012. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013.

(2) GOING CONCERN

Although the Company recorded operating income of $13,773, we also reported a net loss of $562,043 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. If the Company is unable to generate positive cash flow, there is 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 consistently generate positive cash flows from operating activities.

Management’s plan with respect to this uncertainty include expanding the market for its ReliAlert™ portfolio of products and services and extending existing contracts with our customers. There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses and repay debts. If the Company is unable to supplement its cash flows from operating activities, the Company may be required to obtain additional funding, and if it is unable to do so, the Company 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 three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no impairments.

(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 of 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.

(7) GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized revenues from international sources from its products and monitoring services. Revenues are attributed to the geographic areas based on the location of the customers purchasing and leasing the products and services. The revenues recognized by geographic area for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
United States of America	$	2,245,664	$	2,406,877
Latin American Countries		3,018,477		1,355,897
Caribbean Countries and Commonwealths		786,530		570,099
Other Foreign Countries		14,699		10,450
Total	$	6,065,370	$	4,343,323

The long-lived assets, net of accumulated depreciation, used in the generation of revenues by geographic area as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, were as follows:


	Net Property and Equipment				Net Monitoring Equipment
	December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012		December 31, 2012		September 30, 2012
United States of America	$	449,498	$	514,571	$	1,242,278	$	2,176,643
Latin American Countries		-		-		1,425,610		719,171
Caribbean Countries and Commonwealths		-		-		216,557		263,782
Other Foreign Countries		-		-		11,798		14,018
Total	$	449,498	$	514,571	$	2,896,243	$	3,173,614

(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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 509,498,493 and 435,502,286 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. No reconciliation for discontinued operations was provided since the impact was immaterial. The common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, consisted of the following:

	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Conversion of debt and accrued interest		117,214,000		-
Conversion of Series D Preferred stock		292,578,000		293,118,000
Exercise of outstanding common stock options and warrants		67,306,493		109,984,286
Exercise and conversion of outstanding Series D Preferred
stock warrants		32,400,000		32,400,000
Total common stock equivalents		509,498,493		435,502,286

As of December 31, 2012, $3,761,225 of debt and accrued interest which were owed by the Company under a loan and security agreement which contained an option by the lender to convert into 167,165,556 shares of common stock, a rate of $0.0225 per share, convertible after March 1, 2013; and therefore, were not included in the table above.

(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 raw materials that are used in the manufacturing of TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices. Completed TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices are reflected in Monitoring Equipment. As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively, inventory consisted of the following:

	December 31,			September 30,
	2012			2012
Raw materials	$	814,959		$	822,566
Reserve for damaged or obsolete inventory		(192,000	)		(192,000	)
Total inventory, net of reserves	$	622,959		$	630,566

(10) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, were as follows:

	December 31,			September 30,
	2012			2012
Equipment, software and tooling	$	2,228,898		$	2,240,588
Automobiles		33,466			33,466
Leasehold improvements		131,412			131,537
Furniture and fixtures		292,896			295,755
Total property and equipment before accumulated depreciation		2,686,672			2,701,346
Accumulated depreciation		(2,237,174	)		(2,186,775	)
Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation	$	449,498		$	514,571

Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $67,156 and $70,662, respectively. Property and equipment to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated costs to sell and any gains or losses are included in the results of operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company disposed of property and equipment with a net book value of $1,365 and $0, respectively.

(11) MONITORING EQUIPMENT

Monitoring equipment as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, was as follows:

	December 31,			September 30,
	2012			2012
Monitoring equipment	$	3,868,640		$	3,890,974
Less: accumulated depreciation		(972,397	)		(717,360	)

The Company capitalized the total cost of the royalty purchase commitment, $10,768,555, as a non-current asset and recorded a loan payable to Borinquen to reflect the obligation (see Notes 16 and 23 for additional information). The Company will amortize the asset over the remaining term of the royalty agreement, subject to periodic analysis for impairment based on future expected revenues. The Company will annually calculate the amortization based on the effective royalty rate and on the revenues in the geographic territory subject to the royalty. The Company’s analysis will be based on such factors as historical revenue and expected revenue growth in the territory. The Company will begin amortizing the amount paid for the royalty once the repurchase is completed. Funds for the purchase of the royalty were to be provided under a Loan and Security Agreement from Sapinda Asia Limited (“Sapinda Asia”). The loan was not fully funded and the necessary payments were not made in full to Borinquen. Consequently, Borinquen terminated the agreement on December 26, 2012.

Royalty Agreement and Loan and Security Agreement

On August 4, 2011, with an effective date of July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Borinquen (see Note 12) to purchase ISS in consideration of 62,000,000 shares of our common stock, valued at the market price on the date of the Royalty Agreement at $0.082 per share, or $5,084,000, and the grant to Borinquen of the royalty in the amount of 20 percent of the Company’s net revenues from the sale or lease of monitoring devices and monitoring services within a territory comprised of South and Central America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal, for a term of 20 years. (See Note 13.) The royalty payments are due quarterly through June 30, 2031. In the event the Company fails to make the royalty payments when due, in cash or in shares of common stock, at its discretion, the royalty rate is increased to 50 percent in certain portions of the territory, and 30 percent in others.

On September 5, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to redeem the royalty, subject to certain terms, based upon expected funding from Sapinda Asia. The Company capitalized the total cost of the royalty purchase commitment, $10,768,555, as a non-current asset and recorded a loan payable to Borinquen to reflect the obligations under that agreement.

On December 3, 2012, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan”) with Sapinda Asia whereby Sapinda Asia agreed to loan the Company $16,640,000 at 8% interest per annum. Sapinda Asia failed to timely fund under the terms of the Loan, thereby forfeiting the loan origination fee of $640,000. In addition Sapinda Asia incurred penalties of $5,000 per day, payable to the Company, until the Loan was fully funded. Borinquen terminated the agreement to redeem the royalty on December 26, 2012. On February 1, 2013, the Company, Sapinda Asia and Borinquen entered into a Settlement and Royalty and Share Buy Back to complete the repurchase of the royalty and to pay accrued royalty expenses for a total payment of $13,000,000. The funds to purchase the royalty were provided by the Loan. The Loan is due on June 17, 2014. As a condition to the Loan, Sapinda Asia required the Comopany to name a nominee from Tetra House Pte. Ltd. (Guy Dubois) to its Board of Directors and to conduct an exchange offer to retire the Series D Preferred Stock. Sapinda Asia has the right to convert the Loan principal and accrued interest into common stock at a rate of $0.0225 per share, beginning March 1, 2013. The Loan is secured by all of the intellectual property and other assets of the Company and by the royalty. If the Company fails to complete the exchange offer, or in the event of a default under the Loan, Sapinda Asia may purchase the royalty by reducing the outstanding principal of the Loan in the amount of $10,739,426.

The Company will amortize the asset over the remaining term of the Royalty Agreement (19 years), subject to periodic tests for impairment. The Company will begin amortizing the amount paid for the royalty beginning February 1, 2013, the date the repurchase was completed. As of the date of this filing, the Company is reviewing the potential accounting treatment of this transaction.

Authorized Shares

The Company held an Annual Shareholders meeting on December 21, 2011, at which time the shareholders approved an amendment to increase the total authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 1,250,000,000 shares.

(18) STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Incentive Plan

At the annual meeting of shareholders on December 21, 2011, the shareholders approved the 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which had previously been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company. 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 have important relationships with the Company. A total of 18,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2012 Plan. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company adopted into the 2012 Plan options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of common stock under this plan that were previously issued on September 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, 12,000,000 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2012 Plan.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company calculated compensation expense of $7,344 and $66,886, respectively, related to the vesting of stock options granted under Company stock incentive plans. Compensation expense associated with unvested stock options and warrants of $22,332 will be recognized over the next year.

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. The Company granted warrants to purchase 0 and 10,900,000 shares of common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recorded $7,344 and $602,475 of expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to the vesting and re-pricing of all stock options and warrants granted in prior years. Of the $602,475 of expense recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2011, $66,886 of expense resulted from the 2012 Plan and the remaining $535,589 of expense resulted from options and warrants issued outside the 2012 Plan. Compensation expense associated with unvested stock options and warrants of $22,332 will be recognized over the next year. The option and warrant grants for three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Expected cash dividend yield		-		-
Expected stock price volatility		-		95	%
Risk-free interest rate		-		0.36	%
Expected life of options/warrants		-	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).

A summary of stock option activity for the three months ended December 31, 2012 is presented below:

	Shares Under Option/ Warrant			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of September 30, 2012		67,356,493		$	0.14
Granted		-		$	-
Expired / Cancelled		(50,000	)	$	0.13

The dividend is payable in cash or shares of common stock at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. If a dividend is paid in shares of common stock of the Company, the number of shares to be issued is based on the average per share market price of the common stock for the 14-day period immediately preceding the applicable accrual date (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31, as the case may be). Dividends are payable quarterly, no later than 30 days following the end of the accrual period. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 20,760,551 shares of common stock to pay $630,528 of accrued dividends on the Series D Preferred stock earned during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants

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 SEC.

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, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this Report.

General

We market and deploy offender management programs, combining patented GPS tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 intervention-based monitoring capabilities and case management services. Our vision is to be the global market leader for delivering the most reliable offender management solutions, which leverage superior intervention capabilities and integrated communication technologies. We believe that we currently deliver the only offender management technology, which effectively integrates GPS, RF and an interactive 3-way voice communication system into a single piece device, deployable 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 convicted criminals and pre-trial suspects an accountable opportunity to be “free from prison”. This provides for greater public safety at a lower cost compared to incarceration or traditional resource-intensive alternatives.

Strategy

Our global growth strategy is to empower worldwide national security officials, law enforcement, corrections departments and rehabilitation professionals with sole-sourced offender management solutions, which integrate reliable intervention technologies supporting re-socialization or mandated monitoring initiatives. The use of our interactive services and intervention products is intended to provide law enforcement and judiciaries alike, with the ability to provide offenders a level of unmatched “real-time” accountability, while preserving public safety costs that are lower than with the cost of traditional incarceration or other transitional service offerings.

We intend to accomplish our global strategy through the “value-driven” yet profitable deployment of a portfolio of proprietary and non-proprietary GPS/RF real-time monitoring and intervention products and services, which can also include alcohol and drug tracking and testing on behalf of corrections, probation, law enforcement and rehabilitation personnel worldwide, all in support of offender reformation, re-socialization and recidivism reduction initiatives.

Our exclusive portfolio of products and services balances the need to dynamically track and monitor offenders with the opportunity to positively encourage and transform offenders, with the aim of reducing recidivism rates through our proprietary C.A.R.E programs and client-adapted initiatives.

We will continue to innovate, develop and deploy adaptive, cost-effective and reliable interactive technologies, which meet the ever-changing needs of our global clients, while providing value-driven and enhanced public safety services. Our goal is to continue to manufacture proprietary technologies, while also procuring complementary, best-in-class technologies through world-class companies such as Alcohol Monitoring Services (AMS), which markets SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring devices and/or 3M, which markets the E3 Presence Monitoring, MEMS Alcohol Monitoring and TRaCE Inmate Tracking products.

In summary, SecureAlert is committed to delivering a superior proprietary and non-proprietary portfolio of reliable, intervention monitoring products and services for the global offender management marketplace, where we are currently targeting pilots and deployments throughout the world in various regions (North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australasia, Africa and Europe). We have shown meaningful international growth since fiscal year 2010, which we anticipate to continue during this next fiscal year and which will remain a concerted focus for the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 included in our Form 10-K, 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.

Results of Operations

Continuing Operations - Three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to three months ended December 31, 2011

Revenues

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we had revenues from operations of $6,065,370, compared to $4,343,323 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1,722,047 (40%). Of these revenues, $4,852,873 and $3,149,014 were from monitoring and other related services for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $1,703,859 (54%). For the three months ended December 31, 2012, the international revenue was $3,819,706, compared to $1,936,446 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $1,883,260 (97%); the significant increase in revenue was due to increased monitoring revenue in the international market.

Product revenues increased from $1,194,309 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1,212,497 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $18,188 (2%).

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, domestic revenues from one-piece activated GPS tracking devices supported entirely about a single limb of the monitored person totaled $1,390,579 and $1,512,065 respectively.

Cost of Revenues

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, cost of revenues totaled $3,142,005, compared to cost of revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2011 of $2,061,209, an increase of $1,080,796. The increase in cost of revenues in 2012 resulted primarily from increases of $624,295 in royalties related to international sales, as well as higher net revenues during the 2012 quarter.

Depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $324,246 and $410,574, respectively. Depreciation costs are based on a three-year useful life for TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices. Devices that are leased or retained by us for future deployment or sale are depreciated over three years. We believe this three-year life is appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness.

We expect the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues to decrease in the foreseeable future due to (a) economies of scale realized through projected increases in revenues, and (b) further development of our proprietary software, enabling each operator to monitor more devices resulting in lower monitoring center costs.

Gross Profit and Margin

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, gross profit totaled $2,923,365, or 48 percent of net revenues, compared to $2,282,114, or 53 percent of net revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2011, an improvement of $641,251, but a decrease of 5 percentage points, primarily due to an increase in royalty expense in connection with our international markets. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, this royalty was repurchased by the Company.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred research and development expenses of $201,594 compared to research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaling $331,634. These research and development costs were incurred to improve efficiency in the software, firmware and hardware of our products and services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, our selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,357,998, compared to $3,360,427 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease of $1,002,429 is the result of a reduction of bad debt ($105,147) which primarily resulted from improved billing and collection procedures and processes, a reduction of consulting expense ($491,504), and a reduction of payroll expense ($65,576) which primarily resulted through reduced staffing.

Other Income and Expense

For the three months ended December 31, 2012, interest expense was $844,874, compared to $283,272 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The change of interest expense is related the convertible debentures.

Net Loss

We had a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 totaling $847,298, compared to a net loss of $1,653,313 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. This decrease of $806,015 is a result from lowered selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter, as compared to last year.

Discontinued Operations - Three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to three months ended December 31, 2011

SecureAlert, Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with certain of the former principals of our wholly owned subsidiary, Midwest, whereby they purchased from us all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Midwest. The agreement is effective as of October 1, 2012. Midwest was a component of our consolidated entity, and as such requires discontinued operations reporting treatment.

A summary of the operating results of discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

	December 31,		December 31,
	2012		2011
Revenues	$	-	$	1,211,381

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We were unable to finance our business solely from cash flows from operating activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, 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 $1,612,053.

As of December 31, 2012, we had unrestricted cash of $920,518 and a working capital deficit of $10,180,261, compared to unrestricted cash of $592,197 and a working capital deficit of $13,600,345 as of September 30, 2012. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, our operating activities used cash of $1,088,238 compared to $579,142 of cash provided in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

We used cash of $195,494 for investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,029,716 of cash used in investing activities in the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2012, provided cash of $1,612,053, compared to $1,052,696 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we received proceeds of $1,800,000 from the issuance of a convertible debenture from a related-party entity. Cash decreased by $187,947 due to principal payments made on notes payable. Cash provided by financing activities was used to support operating activities.

Cash flow from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012, provided cash of $0, compared to $263,590 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Although we recorded operating income of $13,773, we also reported a net loss of $562,043 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. If we are unable to generate positive cash flow from operations, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In order for us to achieve successful operations, we must consistently generate positive cash flows from operating activities.

Management’s plan with respect to this uncertainty include expanding the market for its ReliAlert™ portfolio of products and services and extending existing contracts with our customers. There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses and repay debts. If we are unable to supplement our cash flows from operating activities, we may be required to obtain additional funding, and if we are unable to do so, we 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. 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 $3,819,706 and $1,936,446 in revenues from sources outside the United States for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Although we normally transact the sale of monitoring equipment and services in U.S. Dollars, we received some payments in an equivalent value of foreign currencies which resulted in a foreign exchange loss of $8,204 and $65,666 during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We occasionally purchase goods and services in foreign currencies which did not result in any currency exchange rate losses during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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, 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 December 31, 2012.

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 December 31, 2012 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:

Camacho Melendez et al v. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and International Surveillance Services Corporation. On April 24, 2012 the plaintiffs filed suit against the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and International Surveillance Services Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ISS”), claiming negligence by ISS and the government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico resulting in the death of a woman. The complaint seeks damages of $2,110,000. The Company is vigorously defending this case and believes ISS acted appropriately. 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.
