Item 1.  Business
 
Background
 
ActiveCare, Inc. (the "Company" or "ActiveCare") was formed March 5, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of SecureAlert, Inc. [OTCBB:SCRA.OB], a Utah Corporation, formerly known as RemoteMDx, Inc. ("SecureAlert").  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the ownership interest of SecureAlert in ActiveCare was reduced through (a) the sale of shares of our common stock by us to investors in private transactions and (b) the sale and transfer of shares of our common stock by SecureAlert in private transactions.  SecureAlert completed its divestiture of ActiveCare in February 2009, through the distribution of approximately 1,421,667 shares of our common stock to the stockholders of SecureAlert.  Each stockholder of SecureAlert received one share of ActiveCare common stock for every 117 shares of SecureAlert common stock owned of record on January 30, 2009. The distribution date was February 27, 2009.  Following the distribution of our shares SecureAlert retained no ownership interest in ActiveCare.  Effective July 15, 2009, we changed our name to ActiveCare, Inc., and our state of incorporation to Delaware.

General
 
Our original business involves the manufacture and distribution of medical diagnostic equipment and laboratory stains and solutions.  Over the past several years we have expanded our vision and business plan to incorporate products and services focused on the elderly market.  As part of these efforts we have established a sophisticated CareCenter with highly trained specialists to assist the elderly in managing their daily lives 24 hours per day, seven days per week.  In order for the CareCenter to service our customers, we have developed and continue to develop numerous products designed to assist the elderly maintain a more active and mobile lifestyle.  The first product that we introduced is the ActiveOneTM device.  The ActiveOneTM is a patented mobile personal emergency response ("PERS") device that allows the user to contact our CareCenter at the push of a button.  The ActiveOneTM constantly communicates its location to the CareCenter by utilizing GPS technology.  This allows the CareCenter Specialists to constantly help and assist the elderly customer no matter where they may be.
 
Our plan is to continue to invest monies into research, development and patents as we broaden the services offered by our CareCenter.  Eventually we intend to add to the functionality of the ActiveOneTM to allow for vital sign monitoring for the chronically ill and additional services to assist both the mobile and homebound seniors, including those who may require a personal assistant to check on them during the day to ensure their safety and well being and know where they are at all times.
 
Our business model focuses on seniors who are mobile and want the "peace of mind" of recognizing that their location is known at all times and that they can request assistance at any time.  Our business plan is to sell or give customers a device and require payment of a monthly recurring subscription for services.  Different services which we provide range from requesting emergency services to receiving calls throughout the day from the CareCenter to remind our customers of specific events and ensuring their health and state of mind.  All of our clientele will have access to a CareCenter specialist who can immediately contact emergency services and provide directions on how to reach the subscriber in the event of an emergency.
 
In the future, we plan to offer the capability to both monitor the vital signs of the elderly and alert the patient and appropriate family members and emergency personnel when abnormal vital signs are identified at the CareCenter.  We also plan to integrate third party bio-medical sensors to capture specific vital signs such as glucose, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels and to transmit the measurements to the CareCenter.
 
We believe that through the technologies we are developing, we can enhance the lives of the elderly, a growing segment of today's population, and enable them to live a more "normal" lifestyle and, most important, permit them to remain in their own homes longer. The CareCenter is staffed around the clock with advisors that receive calls originating from the product. Our services will enhance our clientele’s mobility and provide peace of mind knowing that their vital signs are being monitored and their locations are known at all times.  We can immediately communicate with the patient and emergency personnel in times of need and communicate the patient's location and an abbreviated medical history.

Our Growth Strategy
 
Like the products we have in development, the ActiveOne™ device incorporates GPS, cellular capability and fall detection, all of which are connected to our 24-hour CareCenter with the push of a button. The transmitter can be worn on a neck pendant or carried in a purse, and it sends a cellular signal to our CareCenter. When the wearer of the device pushes the button, or if a fall is detected, a call to the CareCenter is initiated. The staff at the CareCenter provides assistance with everyday living needs of our members, and in an emergency situation, the 911 trained CareSpecialist evaluates the situation, deciding whether to call emergency services or a designated friend or family member.
 
Currently, there are separate products on the market that provide service to the PERS industry and products that provide geographical locations, and clinical health parameters.  However, we believe that no product on the market today has successfully integrated both of these technologies in a single effective device.  Further, none of the current solutions in the market focus on providing care services – assistance with everyday needs – as an alternative to costly assisted living or in-home care services as we do. We feel that it is imperative to bring such a solution to the market.  We are developing additional needed services, and end user products and CareCenter applications and infrastructure to interface with the patient and the CareCenter specialist.
 
With U.S. healthcare costs spiraling upward, we believe that cost containment is a primary issue facing the industry.  These escalating costs will only intensify during the 21st century as the baby-boom generation ages.  As of 2000, 35 million Americans were 65 years of age or older, and this number is projected to increase to 55 million by the year 2020, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.1  By that year, one in six Americans will be over the age of 65 and by the middle of the century, the number of elderly could reach more than 86 million people, more than double its present size.  With an aging population, and because approximately 80% of healthcare costs occur in the last two years of life, according to an article published in the National Review Online, the nation is in dire need of viable cost saving options.
 
Aside from the obvious problems associated with aging, approximately one in every four Americans suffers from a chronic illness, according to a 2004 presentation to the American Telemedicine Association, which typically becomes more severe and prominent with age.  The demographics of chronic illnesses include over 15 million people with diabetes and close to 14 million with coronary heart disease (according to reports published by the American Heart Association), and over 10 million with osteoporosis (according to a study by the University of Maryland Medical Center).  Various industry studies, including a study published in the IBM Systems Journal in 2007 and a study conducted by heart specialists from Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center Cardiac Transplant Service, have been conducted showing the cost savings that can be realized by the daily monitoring of the chronically ill. 
 
Aging in Place – the ability to age in your own home with the proper care services and monitoring of health and wellness needs – will be a major contributor to mitigation of health care costs for the elderly. Through the technologies we are developing, we believe we can enhance the lives of the elderly and enable them to live more "normal" lifestyles by providing them mobility and peace of mind with the knowledge that their vital signs are being monitored and their locations are known at all times. At the same time we can save millions of dollars to the health care sector as we identify problems and issues in advance.  
 
ActiveOne
 
Under the trademark ActiveOne™ we have developed a product that incorporates GPS, cellular capability, and fall detection, all of which are connected to a 24 hour CareCenter with the push of a button. The transmitter can be worn on a neck pendant or carried in a purse, and it sends a cellular signal to our care center. When the wearer of the device pushes the button, the staff at the CareCenter evaluates the situation and decides whether to call emergency services or a designated friend or family member.

Marketing
 
We have developed a three-pronged sales and marketing strategy:

 
1.
Direct-to-consumer – direct response, online and outbound telemarketing;
 
2.
Retail – Chain drug, mass market and warehouse club store distribution; and
 
3.
Insurance – Medicare and Life Insurance agents.

Direct-to-Consumer

We sell the ActiveOneTM service through direct response advertising – direct mail and online marketing – and we have initiated some outbound telemarketing. Our sales team has established a distributor network in some parts of the country, and we are growing this distributor network as we build relationships across the United States.

Retail Distribution

Beginning November 2010, ActiveCare will be in distribution in chain drug stores. The first test market of drug store distribution will be in Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro and other parts of North Carolina through the 76-store Kerr Drug chain. The ActiveCare service will be available for purchase in-store through a “starter kit” which includes everything needed to get started, and the first month’s service plan is included in the purchase price. The consumer can also call a toll-free number to speak with our sales representatives. The toll-free number will be displayed in stores on attractive product displays and on tear pads near the pharmacy counter. ActiveCare will also be advertised in Kerr Drug’s weekly circular, distributed to homes in Sunday newspapers.

In January 2011, we will extend our retail presence to one of the three major US drug retailers. ActiveCare will be displayed in over 4,000 drug stores and advertised in 60 million weekly Sunday newspaper inserts.

Further retail expansion will follow a strategic path from high health involvement channels like drug stores to lower involvement, but higher traffic channels like mass marketers (Target, Wal-Mart, Meijer) and warehouse club stores (Costco, Sam’s, BJ’s Wholesale). We are establishing a sales broker network to service these channels, and initial sales contacts have been made with several potential retail customers.

Insurance

We are partnering with brokers and agents of insurance products targeted to the aging and elderly, including Medicare, Medicare Supplemental and Life Insurance. We provide a valuable solution to the insurance brokers’ agents and customers as a value-added service that opens the door for the agent to begin a dialogue with the potential customer.

In July 2010, we entered into a “Distribution Agreement” with Amerilife LLC (“Amerilife”) for the distribution of our services to the insurance and financial services customers of Amerilife. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, Amerilife is granted the exclusive right to distribute our services to the insurance and financial services market within the United States and Puerto Rico.  The exclusive grant is conditioned upon Amerilife obtaining minimum distribution levels in each year.

Additionally, we have been in talks with Medicare Insurance carriers to offer ActiveCare as a value-added service to Medicare policy holders. The insurance carriers believe they can effectively mitigate claims costs through proactive monitoring of policy-holders by using our products and services. ActiveCare services would be provided wholesale to the insurance carrier, and included in the Medicare policy at no additional out-of-pocket cost to the policy-holder.
 
Research and Development Program
 
General Information
 
GPS technology utilizes highly accurate clocks on 24 satellites orbiting the earth owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.  These satellites are designed to transmit their identity, orbital parameters and the correct time to earthbound GPS receivers at all times.  Supporting the satellites are several radar-ranging stations maintaining exact orbital parameters for each satellite and transmitting that information to the satellites for rebroadcast at frequencies between 1500 and 1600 MHz 
 
A GPS receiver (or engine) scans the frequency range for GPS satellite transmissions. If the receiver can detect three satellite transmissions, algorithms within the engine deduce its location, usually in terms of longitude and latitude, on the surface of the earth as well as the correct time. If the receiver can detect four or more GPS satellite transmissions, it can also deduce its own elevation above sea level.  The effectiveness of GPS technology is limited by obstructions between the device and the satellites and, therefore, service can be interrupted or may not be available at all if the user is located in the lower floors of high-rise buildings or underground.

During the year ended September 30, 2010, we spent $458,000 on research and development.  Research and development (“R&D”) involved the ActiveOne, a one button actuated GPS/Cellular communications device (“Companion Device”) that links to our CareCenter.  This device includes fall detection, Geo Fencing, automatic calls to the CareCenter, text messaging, hands free speakerphone and other features.  Also in development is the ActiveOne+ (ActiveOnePlus) which will communicate through Bluetooth with the Companion Device.  The wrist device is water resistant, includes falls detection, speakerphone, vibration alerts, audible alerts, and LED’s for status monitoring. Our goal is to develop a wristwatch-size monitoring device for senior citizens.  The watch will be universal for women and men with an adjustable strap.  The expanded CareCenter and the related products will be developed by our team.  We have identified and are working with several vendors for services that will further our objectives.  
 
An important part of this R&D program is our relationship with Quectel Wireless Solutions, Ltd. (“Quectel”), to assist us in development of the ActiveOne™ and the next generation device, the ActiveOne+.
 
Quectel’s focus is on the wireless machine-to-machine (“M2M”) market sector; Quectel designs and manufactures a variety of wireless modules to fulfill many industrial standards and requirements.  Quectel products have been developed for the wireless M2M sectors such as smart metering, automotive, sales and payment, security, tracking and tracing, remote control and monitoring, and mobile computing.
 
The core team members of Quectel are the pioneers of the wireless module industry in China. Quectel’s R&D team is dedicated to quality and reliability, and realizes that these are the key factors to continued success in the wireless M2M business. The team far exceeds the typical industrial standards and rules, to manage the R&D and manufacturing processes. Quectel products are capable of maintaining reliable performance, even in extreme environments.
 
During May 2010, we entered into a “Co-Development and Exclusive Distribution Agreement” (“Co-Development Agreement”) with Vista Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vista”) for the development and co-marketing of NanoBiosensor™ -based biomarker assessment products for use with our proprietary ActiveCare line of continuous patient monitoring products marketed to the elderly and senior market.  Under the terms of the Co-Development Agreement, Vista will develop instruments and software incorporating its patented and proprietary NanoBiosensor technology for our use. The newly developed products will be designed to provide value-added services to the primary markets for our monitoring products, allowing us to add to its position and fall-detection monitoring, monitoring of specific health conditions using biomarkers that we identify jointly with Vista.
 
In addition to the NanoBiosensor technology, Vista has been working with us to provide biosensor technology that can be integrated into the 2nd Generation ActiveOne+ wrist device.  Currently under development are sensors to detect heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, and conductivity.  This information will be relayed to our CareCenter to proactively monitor the member’s health and incorporate the data into a customized personal health record.
 
We were granted an exclusive license to use the technology delivered under the Co-Development Agreement.  In consideration of this license and the development activities of Vista, we agreed to pay Vista the sum of $15,000 per month for a period of 15 months, commencing July 1, 2010. We also agreed to pay Vista a fee of $50,000 for each of three successfully completed assays included in double-blind studies for medical conditions jointly identified by the parties during the term of the agreement.  In addition, we also may acquire a sub-license to Vista’s proprietary nanowire technology following the development of deliverables under the Co-Development Agreement. The grant of such sublicense will be subject to the payment of fees and royalties as agreed by the parties when the sublicense becomes effective.
 
In connection with the Co-Development Agreement, we also made a $50,000 investment in Vista’s Series B Preferred Stock.  The Vista Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Vista common stock under certain conditions and grants to the holder certain rights and preferences, subject to prior rights granted to the holders of Vista’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock
 
CareCenter
 
In concert with the development of our products, we have also created the CareCenter.  In contrast to a typical monitoring center, our CareCenter is equipped with hardware and software that pinpoints the location of the incoming caller by utilizing GPS and/or cellular triangulation technology.  This capability is referred to as telematics.  The operator (or CareSpecialist) will be able to locate the caller’s precise location on a detailed map.   In addition the CareCenter software will identify the caller, provide location services, emergency dispatch, medical history to emergency responders, and concierge services. We believe the CareCenter is and will be the cornerstone of our business.

Competition
 
Our products incorporate technologies and services also found in devices sold in several diverse markets.  The major markets in which we compete or plan to compete may be referred to as the “Telehealth” and the Personal Emergency Response or “PERS” markets. We have identified the entities listed below that appear to compete directly in one or more of these markets.  These entities mostly focus on specific needs and do not offer a personal assistant as we do in our CareCenter.  In addition, the entities operating in the PERS market target the senior who is confined to the home, as opposed to our intended customer who is typically more mobile.

Competitors in Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) Market
 
The current PERS market is based on technology that has not changed significantly in 30 years.  The hardware given to a PERS customer generally includes a base unit that is connected to the customer’s home phone line and a pendant that is worn on the person which activates a call for help.  The base unit serves as a call forwarding device that dials the number to the call center when the button on the pendant is pressed.  The pendant can only operate within a limited distance (usually 200 to 600 feet) of the base unit. Since there is no voice communication through the pendant the customer must be within earshot of the base unit for the system to work correctly.  This effectively tethers a customer to their home if they do not want to risk being out of range of this emergency service.  In contrast, our ActiveOne products incorporate cellular and GPS technologies, freeing the wearer to leave their home without being within a short distance of a base unit.
 
Competitors in this market include:
 
 
·

Item 1A.  Risk Factors  
 
We have identified the following important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward looking statements we may make from time to time. We operate in a continually changing business environment in which new risk factors emerge from time to time. We can neither predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the impact, if any, of these new risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward looking statement. If any of these risks, or combination of risks, actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously and materially harmed, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
 
We have not achieved profitable operations and continue to operate at a loss.
 
From incorporation to date, we have not achieved profitable operations and continue to operate at a loss.  Our present business strategy is to improve cash flow by adding to our existing product line and expanding our sales and marketing efforts, including the addition of in-house sales personnel.  There can be no assurance that we will ever be able to achieve profitable operations or that we will not require additional financing to fulfill our business plan.
 
Because of our history of accumulated deficits and recurring cash flow losses, we must improve profitability and may be required to obtain additional funding if we are to continue as a "Going Concern."
 
We have a history of accumulated deficits.  As of September 30, 2010, and September 30, 2009, our accumulated deficit was $17,037,562 and $5,057,151, respectively.  As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,640,788. Our financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern.  Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report dated November 24, 2010, that includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our product line is limited and it has been necessary to rely upon loans and capital contributions and the sale of our equity securities to sustain operations.  In addition, we have recently begun to emphasize a new product line and business plan, which will require additional investment in research and development and marketing.  Our management anticipates that we may require approximately $3,000,000 in additional capital over the next twelve months to implement this business plan and to fund ongoing operations, although this is only an estimate.  There can be no guarantee that such funds would be sufficient. If such additional funding is needed and cannot be obtained, we may be required to scale back or discontinue operations.

Our profitability depends upon achieving success in our future operations through implementing our business plan, increasing sales, and expanding our customer and distribution bases, for which there can be no assurance given.
 
Profitability depends upon many factors, including the success of our marketing program, our ability to identify and obtain the rights to additional products to add to our existing product line, expansion of distribution and customer base, maintenance or reduction of expense levels and the success of our business activities.  For a discussion of risks related to our accumulated deficits, please see the preceding risk factor. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses in the future. Our ability to achieve profitable operations will also depend on our success in developing and maintaining an adequate marketing and distribution system. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and maintain adequate marketing and distribution resources. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to materially curtail or cease operations.
 
Our products are not based entirely on technology that is proprietary to us, which means that we do not have a technological advantage over our competitors, and that we must rely on the owners of the proprietary technology that is the basis for our products to protect that technology. We have no control over such protection.
 
We are currently preparing to bring a new personal health monitoring product to market and recently launched our first product, ActiveOne™.  This new product utilizes technology based in part on patents that have been licensed to us for use within our markets.  Our success in adding to our existing product line will depend on our ability to acquire or otherwise license competitive technologies and products and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and internationally.  No assurance can be given that any licenses required from third parties will be made available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounter delays in product introductions while we attempt to adopt alternate measures.  We could also find that the manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses is not possible. Litigation may be necessary to defend against claims of infringement, to protect trade secrets or know-how owned by us, or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others.  Such litigation could have an adverse and material impact on us and on our operations.
 
Our future products could be based on patents derived in part from a patent agreement that is currently in default.
 
In May 2009, we entered into a patent agreement.  Under the patent agreement, we were required to make an upfront royalty payment of $300,000 and to make future payments of royalties equal to 5% of net sales revenues for licensed products.  We did not make the upfront royalty payment and the patent agreement is in default.  If we are not able to cure the default, our future use of technologies or products based on the patents covered by the patent agreement may infringe the rights of licensor and we may be subject to lawsuits or claims for damages as a result of such infringement. The licensor has not declared a forfeiture or breach and is negotiating with us to resolve this default. We expect to cure this default during the first calendar quarter of 2011.
 
Our industry is fragmented, and we experience intense competition from a variety of sources, some of which are better financed and better managed than we are.
 
The medical diagnostic supply and biochemical industries, including those segments devoted to manufacturing and distributing laboratory equipment, stain solutions and chemical reagents, are characterized by intense competition. We face, and will continue to face, competition in the stain solution, reagent and related equipment fields.  In addition, competition in the PERS market is also significant. Many, if not most, of our competitors and potential competitors are much larger and consequently have greater access to capital as well as mature and highly sophisticated distribution channels. Some of our larger competitors are able to manufacture chemical products on a much larger scale and therefore presumably would be able to take advantage of economies of scale that we do not presently enjoy.  Moreover, many of our competitors have far greater name recognition and experience in the medical diagnostic supply industry.  There can be no assurance that competition from other companies will not render our products noncompetitive.
 
We are highly dependent on our executive officers and certain of our scientific, technical and operations employees.
 
Our current revenues are derived primarily from our current core products, medical diagnostic stains and solutions and other biochemical products, as well as the Definitive slide stainer.  The Definitive slide stainer is medical equipment designed to stain and high light abnormal cells.  We depend heavily on our executive officers and certain scientific, technical, and operations employees, including James Dalton (Chief Executive Officer), Christine Kilpack (General Manager), and Michael Acton (Chief Financial Officer).  As of the date of this report, we do not have employment agreements with any of these individuals. The loss of services of any of these individuals could impede the achievement of our objectives. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified executive, scientific, or technical personnel on acceptable terms.
 
 
10

 
 
We rely on third parties to manufacture some of our product line.
 
Our manufacturing experience and capabilities are limited to the manufacture of staining solution, reagent and certain related chemical compounds.  With respect to the manufacturing of devices and equipment related to the staining solution products, including without limitation the Definitive slide stainer, we have in the past used, and intend to continue to use, third-party manufacturing resources. We also use and intend to continue using third-party manufacturers for our new PERS and other devices. Consequently, we are dependent on contract manufacturers for the production of existing products and will depend on third-party manufacturing resources to manufacture equipment and devices we may add to our product line in the future.  In the event we are unable to obtain or retain third-party manufacturing, we will not be able to continue operations as they relate to the sale of equipment and devices.
 
Our medical solutions business is subject to certain environmental risks and the requirement that we comply with regulations which increases the cost of doing business.
 
Our chemical manufacturing processes involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials and certain waste products.  We carry limited product liability insurance relating to the use of potentially hazardous materials, with coverage amounts of $2,000,000 per claim and per accident, and $2,000,000 in the aggregate.  The premium for such insurance coverage is $13,000.  Although we believe that our activities currently comply with the standards prescribed by such laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be eliminated.  In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed our resources.  In addition, there can be no assurance that we will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future.
 
We market and sell our medical stains and solutions products through independent distributors who are free to sell other, and at times competing, products. We therefore have no direct control over our sales force.
 
We sell our legacy staining products to approximately 74 independent distributors who are free to resell the products.  In order to achieve profitable operations, we must maintain its current base of sales staff and must expand that base in the future.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into arrangements with qualified sales staff if and when such additional staff is required.  Our sales staff will compete with other companies that currently have experienced and well funded marketing and sales operations.  To the extent that we enter into co-promotion or other marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, any revenues to be received by us will be dependent on the efforts of others, and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.
 
From time to time, we may be subject to expensive claims relating to product liability law; our ability to insure against this risk is limited.
 
The use of any of our existing or potential products in laboratory or clinical settings may expose us to liability claims. These claims could be made directly by persons who assert that inaccuracies or deficiencies in their test results were caused by defects in our products.  Alternatively, we could be exposed to liability indirectly by being named as a third-party defendant in actions brought against companies or persons who have purchased our products.  We have obtained limited product liability insurance coverage and we intend to expand our insurance coverage on an as-needed basis as sales revenue increases.  However, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive, and no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to liability. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to obtain commercially reasonable product liability insurance for any products added to our product line in the future. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The uncertainty of health care litigation and regulatory measures in our primary markets can have an adverse effect on our business.
 
Political, economic and regulatory influences are likely to lead to fundamental change in the health care industry in the United States.  A significant national health care bill was signed into law in the United States in 2010.  The impact of this legislation is expected to be far-reaching, but at this time it is not possible to predict how it will affect our business.  In addition, certain states are considering various health care reform proposals. We anticipate that Congress and state legislatures will continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery systems and payment methodologies. Due to uncertainties regarding the ultimate features of reform initiatives and their enactment and implementation, we cannot predict which, if and when any additional reforms will be adopted, or what impact they may have on us.  Our ability to earn sufficient returns on our products may also depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such products will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations.  Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the price and cost effectiveness of medical products and services, including medical diagnostic procedures.  There can be no assurance that adequate reimbursement will be available or sufficient to allow us to sell products on a competitive basis.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
 
Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
 
Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders own, in the aggregate, approximately 46.54% of our outstanding common stock.  In addition, certain of our officers and all of our directors have been granted warrants to purchase common stock, all of which are exercisable as of the date of this report.  The exercise of such warrants might also result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.  As a result of the ownership of the shares currently held, their ownership and potential exercise of these options and warrants, these stockholders may be able to exercise significant control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions and will have significant control over our management and policies. The interests of these stockholders may not be consistent with the interests of stockholders.
 
This control or the potential for such control may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in the best interests of our company.
 
Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our securities.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse).  For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of investors to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which such purchasers can sell any such securities. 

Investors should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include:
 
 
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer
 
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases
 
·
“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons
 
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers, and
 
·
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

 
12

 
 
Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
 
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:
 
 
market conditions or trends in our industry or the economy as a whole and, in particular, in the retail sales environment;
 
timing of promotional events;
 
 
changes in key personnel;
 
entry into new markets;
 
announcements by us or our competitors of new product offerings or significant acquisitions;
 
actions by competitors;
 
the level of expenses associated with new product development and marketing;
 
changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of competitors;
 
the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;
 
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;
 
changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our common stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common stock;
 
ratings downgrades by any securities analysts who follow our common stock;
 
the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common stock;
 
future sales of our common stock by our officers, directors and significant stockholders;
 
other events or factors, including those resulting from war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters or responses to these events; and
 
changes in accounting principles.
 
In addition, the stock markets have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many retail companies. In the past, stockholders in some companies have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources, and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.
 
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law might discourage or delay acquisition attempts.
 
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult without the approval of our board of directors. These provisions:
 
 
·
authorize the issuance of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and the shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval, and which may include super voting, special approval, dividend, or other rights or preferences superior to the rights of the holders of common stock; and
 
·
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.
 
These anti-takeover provisions and other provisions under Delaware law could discourage, delay, or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.
 
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
 
Any future trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.  

 
13

 
 
We do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
 
The continued operation and expansion of our business will require substantial funding. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends on the common stock in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, including our senior secured credit facility and other indebtedness we may incur, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends on the common stock is limited by the rights and preferences of the holders of the Series A preferred stock; no dividends may be paid on the common stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid on the preferred stock.  Accordingly, if you purchase or own shares of our common stock, realization of a gain on your investment will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends in the foreseeable future should not purchase our common stock.
 
Item 2.    Properties
 
 We lease premises consisting of approximately 11,500 square feet of laboratory and office facilities located at 5095 West 2100 South, West Valley City, Utah. These premises also serve as our manufacturing, warehouse and shipping facilities.  This lease expires in November 2010 and the monthly base rent is $6,343, subject to annual adjustments according to changes in the Consumer Price Index.
 
We also lease space at 4897 Lake Park Blvd., Building A, Suite #140, Salt Lake City, Utah for our CareCenter and sales department.  The lease is for a three-year term, and is cancelable after the 13th 26th months with 60 days notice.  Monthly lease payments begin at $5,121.70 and increase to approximately $5,400 over the life of the lease.
 
Management believes the facilities described above are adequate to accommodate presently expected growth and needs of our operations.  As we continue to grow, additional facilities or the expansion of existing facilities likely will be required.
 
Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
 
We are not involved directly in any legal proceedings which management believes would have a material effect upon our business or financial condition, nor are any such material legal proceedings anticipated.
 
By way of information, we previously disclosed that on August 15, 2008, plaintiffs Frederico and Erica Castellanos filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, Case No. BC396402, entitled "Frederico and Erica Castellanos vs. Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, et al."  The complaint names twenty-four defendants and one hundred unnamed “Doe Defendants.”  On September 4, 2008, plaintiffs amended their complaint to substitute "Volu-Sol, Inc. as successor in interest to Logos Scientific, Inc." for the previously unnamed Doe 1. Volu-Sol, Inc. was the original name of SecureAlert, our former parent corporation.  In April 2010 the case was dismissed with prejudice against Volu-Sol, Inc.
 
We are not aware of any contemplated legal or regulatory proceeding by a governmental authority in which we may be involved.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
During the past three fiscal years, we have sold or issued shares of our common stock and other equity securities without registration of the offer and sale of such securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act as summarized below.
 
Fiscal Year 2008.  During the year ended September 30, 2008, we sold 2,690,972 restricted shares of our common stock for $2,198,333 in cash.  Of these shares, we sold 2,135,417 shares for sale proceeds of $2,098,333 to ADP Management.  The remaining 555,555 shares were sold to unrelated third parties. At the time of the offer and sale of these securities, ADP Management was an affiliate of our parent corporation, SecureAlert and was also an accredited investor.  The offer and sale of these shares to ADP Management and to the unrelated third parties, who were also accredited, was exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Each of the purchasers represented to us that they were accredited investors as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities Act. No public solicitation or advertising was undertaken in connection with the transactions and the purchasers of the shares sold in the offering represented that they were purchasing the shares for their own account and for investment purposes and not for purposes of distribution or resale. The certificates evidencing such shares were marked with a restrictive legend, indicating that any resale or transfer thereof was subject to restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable rules and regulations.
 
Additionally during the year ended September 30, 2008, we issued 437,500 restricted shares of common stock for services rendered (with a value of $350,000, or $0.80 per share) to three non-affiliated third parties.  The services included providing technical evaluations, patent reviews, creation and identification of sales channels, evaluation of competition, market research, and potential market penetration.  The three consultants were paid in restricted stock, and each received approximately $116,000 worth of shares of our common stock.  We had no consulting or other agreements with these three individuals. The issuance of these securities was exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
Fiscal Year 2009.  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we issued 840,000 restricted shares of common stock valued at $735,840 in connection with an acquisition. The recipients of these shares represented in the original acquisition agreements that they were accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.  Each of these entities also purchased from us shares of our Series A preferred stock, which is convertible into common stock under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations.  These shares of common and preferred stock were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation D and Rule 506.  There were no non-accredited investors involved in this issuance.  We filed a Form D in connection with the issuance of these securities.
 
Fiscal Year 2010.  During the year ended September 30, 2010, we issued 13,270,964 shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act as follows:
 
 
·
3,484,000 shares were issued in a private placement with net proceeds of $2,101,700.
 
·
1,200,000 shares were issued on the conversion of shares of Series A preferred stock.
 
·
720,000 shares were issued on the conversion of Series B preferred stock.
 
·
2,750,000 shares were issued for current and future consulting services valued at $2,912,500.
 
·
70,000 shares were issued for services performed in the sales and marketing area for a value of $76,100.
 
·
51,000 shares were issued for services performed in the research and development areas valued at $69,870.
 
·
777,750 shares were issued to employees, officers, and directors for services performed for a value of $991,303.
 
·
77,500 shares were issued in connection with origination fees for loans to the Company for a value of 73,958.
 
·
44,714 shares were issued in connection with preferred stock dividends hold by investor valued at $45,161.
 
·
2,528,000 shares were issued upon the exercise of options for cash proceeds of $632,000.
 
·
1,568,000 shares were issued upon the exercise of options/warrants for accrued and current services valued at $560,000.
 
In each of the transactions described above, the securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as well as Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.  The recipients of the securities were accredited investors or employees or affiliates of the Company.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader better understand ActiveCare, our operations and our present business environment.  This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the accompanying notes thereto contained in this report.

Overview
 
Historically, our core business has been the manufacture, distribution and sale of medical diagnostic stains and solutions.  In February 2009, we were spun off from our former parent, SecureAlert, Inc. (“SecureAlert”), a Utah corporation. In connection with the spin-off, we acquired from SecureAlert the exclusive license rights to certain technology, including patent rights utilizing GPS and cellular communication and monitoring technologies for use in the healthcare and personal security markets.  Our business plan is to develop and market a new product line for monitoring and providing assistance to mobile and homebound seniors and the chronically ill, including those who may require a personal assistant to check up on them during the day to ensure their safety and well being and know where they are at all times. 
 
Our emphasis in fiscal year 2010 was to bring our new product and brand awareness to the market to provide a platform for future development of sales and business. Among other things, our common stock began trading on the over-the-counter market, we began operations at our CareCenter, and we entered into key agreements for research and development of new products.  We also began marketing at retail locations and through a distribution agreement with insurance agencies. These and other developments are discussed in this MD&A.
 
Recent Developments
 
We have financed operations exclusively through equity security sales and short-term debt.  Accordingly, if our revenues continue to be insufficient to meet our needs, we will attempt to secure additional financing through traditional bank financing or a debt or equity offering. However, because of the development stage nature of our business and the potential of a future poor financial condition, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining such financing or the amount of the financing may be minimal and therefore inadequate to implement our continuing plan of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or at all, or raise funds through a debt or equity offering. In addition, if we only have nominal funds with which to conduct our business activities, this will negatively impact the results of operations and our financial condition.
 
During September, 2010, all of the issued and outstanding Series A and Series B preferred stock was converted into 1,920,000 shares of common stock.  Also, during September 2010, we sold 3,484,000 shares of common stock in a private transaction to two investment entities for gross cash proceeds of $2,613,000.
 
In July 2010, we entered into a “Distribution Agreement” with AL Amerilife, LLC (“Amerilife”) for the distribution of our services to insurance and financial services customers of Amerilife. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, Amerilife is granted the exclusive right to distribute our services to the insurance and financial services market within the United States and Puerto Rico.  The exclusive grant is conditioned upon Amerilife obtaining minimum distribution levels in each year of the agreement.
 
During May 2010, we entered into the Co-Development Agreement with Vista described in greater detail on page 6 of this report.  Under the terms of the Co-Development Agreement, Vista will develop instruments and software incorporating its patented and proprietary NanoBiosensor technology for our use to provide value-added services to our primary markets.  We also acquired an exclusive license to use the technology delivered under the Co-Development Agreement and the right to acquire a sub-license to Vista’s proprietary nanowire technology following the development of deliverables under the agreement.
 
Key Business Indicators
 
In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key measures for determining how our business is performing are net sales, comparable store and non-comparable store sales, gross profit margin and selling, general and administrative expense.
 
Net Sales
 
Net sales constitute gross sales net of any returns and merchandise discounts.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit is equal to our net sales minus our cost of goods sold. Gross margin measures gross profit as a percentage of our net sales. Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise, commissions, distribution costs, all freight costs and purchasing costs.
 
Our cost of goods sold is substantially higher in higher volume quarters because cost of goods sold generally increases as net sales increase. Changes in the mix of our products, such as changes in the proportion of accessories, may also impact our overall cost of goods sold.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense
 
Selling, general and administrative expense includes administration, share-based compensation (discussed below) and occupancy costs. These expenses do not generally vary proportionally with net sales. As a result, selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales is usually higher in lower volume quarters and lower in higher volume quarters.
 
Share-based Compensation Expense
 
During the year ended September 30, 2009, we granted common stock purchase warrants to our directors, including our chief executive officer, for the purchase of 13,500,000 shares at an expense of $665,201.  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, we expensed $2,787,719 associated with those grants.  These and any future stock warrant grants increased our compensation expense in fiscal year 2010 and will increase our share-based compensation expense in future fiscal years compared to fiscal year 2009. See “—Critical Accounting Policies” below.
 
Fiscal Year 2010 Compared to Fiscal Year 2009
 
Revenues
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, we had net revenues of $548,000 compared to net revenues of $452,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $96,000 or 21%.  Revenues from monitoring services for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 totaled $74,000, compared to $0 for the prior fiscal year.  This increase is due to the introduction of the ActiveOne device and the monitoring revenues associated with it. Revenues from stains and reagents for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 were $474,000, compared to $452,000 for the fiscal year 2009, resulting in an increase of $22,000.  This increase of $22,000 is primarily due to an increase in the sale of hematology stains and reagents.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, cost of revenues totaled $670,000, compared to cost of revenues during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 of $396,000, an increase of $274,000.  The increase in cost of revenues resulted primarily from expenses related to the CareCenter for the monitoring of the ActiveOne product.  Monitoring costs of revenue were $305,000 and stains and reagents costs of revenues were $365,000.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses increased to $458,000 in fiscal year 2010, from $375,000 in the year ended September 30, 2009. The increase in research and development expenses in 2010 was primarily related to the development of our ActiveOne+ devices and payments required under our agreement with Vista.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Fiscal year 2010 was a significant year of development for us.  Among other important accomplishments, our common stock began trading in the over-the-counter market, we launched our ActiveOne product and CareCenter services, and we entered into key agreements for research and development as well as marketing and distribution of our products and services.  The primary emphasis was to establish a platform for building brand awareness and introducing our product to the market, which we believe will lead to increased sales and revenues in future periods.
 
As a result of the emphasis on bringing our products, services, and brand to the market, selling, general and administrative expenses increased during fiscal year 2010 from the amounts expended in fiscal year 2009.  Selling, general and administrative expense in the year ended September 30, 2010, totaled $9,327,000, compared to $2,032,000 of expense in fiscal year 2009.  The most significant components of these expenses were tied directly to the efforts described above in bringing our products and services to market and included the following increases:
 
 
Increase in advertising and marketing expense of approximately $375,000 due to the cost of advertising and marketing of the ActiveOne+ device;
 
Increase in amortization expense related to the completion of the acquisition of HG Partners, Inc. of approximately $654,000;
 
Increase in bonus expense of approximately $355,000, $350,000 of which was paid by the cashless exercise of outstanding stock purchase warrants;
 
Increase in consulting expense of approximately $3,901,000, all of which was non-cash, paid with issuance of common stock and warrants, and the amortization of warrant expense.  This includes the accelerated vesting of warrants to officers and board of directors;
 
Increase in board fees of approximately $20,000;
 
Increase in insurance expense of approximately $43,000;
 
Increase in investment relations expense of approximately $1,015,000, all of which was non-cash expense, paid with issuance of common stock;
 
Increase in payroll of approximately $698,000 for services paid by issuance of common stock and warrants to employees;
 
Increase in telephone expenses of $25,000 due to business expansion;
 
Increase in travel expenses of $140,000 due to development and marketing of ActiveOne+ device.

 
18

 
 
Other Income and Expense
 
Derivative gain was $443,735 and $0 in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Expense related to refinancing and vesting of warrants, and interest expense increased to $1,420,000 for the fiscal year 2010 compared to $100,000 of interest expense in fiscal year 2009. These expenses were incurred in 2010 due to the loss on conversion of preferred stock and warrants, as well as dividends paid for preferred stock and non-cash expense related to shares issued in payment of loan origination fees.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the year ended September 30, 2010 increased to $11,639,000 from a net loss of $2,416,000 in fiscal year 2009, due primarily to the higher selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in 2010 as described above.  
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are the proceeds from the sale of our equity securities and from borrowing. We have not historically financed operations from cash flows from operating activities.  We anticipate that we will continue to seek funding to supplement revenues from the sale of our products and services through the sale of selling securities until we begin to have positive cash flows from operating activities under our new business plan.
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had unrestricted cash of $1,714,000, compared to cash of $831,000 as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2010, working capital was $854,919, compared to working capital deficit of $131,471 as of September 30, 2009.
 
Operating activities used cash of $2,195,000 in fiscal year 2010, compared to $1,122,000 cash used in 2009.
 
Investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2010 used cash of $356,000, compared to $25,000 of cash used by investing activities in the year ended September 30, 2009.
 
Financing activities in fiscal year 2010 provided $3,434,000 of net cash, compared to $1,503,000 of net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended September 30, 2009.
 
During fiscal year 2010, we incurred a net loss of $11,639,000 and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $2,195,000, compared to a net loss of $2,416,000 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $1,122,000 in the year ended September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2010, our working capital was $854,919 and we had an accumulated deficit of $17,038,000 and total stockholders’ equity of $1,485,000.
 
Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008
 
Net Sales
 
Net sales decreased to $452,000 in fiscal year 2009, from $608,000 in fiscal year 2008.  The change from 2008 to 2009 was due to a reduction in orders of Wright-Giemsa stain.  During the 2008 fiscal year, our prior management changed the formula for Wright-Giemsa stain and customers did not respond well to the changed formula. We have reintroduced the old formula and we are working to get customers to once again order these products.
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
Cost of goods sold totaled $396,000 in fiscal 2009, compared to $466,000 for the year ended September 30, 2008, due primarily to lower sales in fiscal year 2009.  As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold was 87.6% in fiscal year 2009, compared to 76.6% in fiscal year 2008.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses decreased to $375,000 in fiscal year 2009, from $632,000 in the year ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in research and development expenses in 2009 was primarily related to our selection of more moderately priced research and development vendors.
 
 
19

 
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,032,000 in fiscal year 2009, from $1,804,000 in fiscal year 2008.  The increase in these expenses in 2009 was due primarily to the following:
 
 
Increase in consulting expense of approximately $363,000, all of which was non-cash, paid with restricted shares of common stock, and the amortization of warrant expense;
 
Increase in board fees of approximately $90,000;
 
Increase in accounting and legal services of approximately $306,000 for services related to our spin-off and expenses associated with being public;
 
Increase in advertising of $44,404; and
 
Increase in other selling, general, and administrative expenses of $180,000 due to increased phone usage, copy machine usage, meal charges, amortization, dues, investor relations and related items for the additional employees.
 
All of these increases, which total $861,000, were offset by a decrease in payroll of $359,000 and a decrease in allocated expenses from our former parent company of $396,000.
 
Other Income and Expense
 
Interest income decreased to $470 in fiscal year 2009 from $15,000 in fiscal year 2008.  The reason for the decrease is due to the payment of a related-party note receivable and no interest accruing on that note in fiscal year 2009.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the year ended September 30, 2009 increased to $2,416,000 from a net loss of $2,279,000 in fiscal year 2008.  
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We are not a party to any off balance sheet arrangements.
 
Impact of Inflation
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (a replacement of SFAS No. 162).” FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.  The codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards; and all non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the codification will be superseded and deemed non-authoritative.  We adopted the new codification standards in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.  Reference to the new ASC topic, subtopic, or section will be provided along with the superseded historical accounting literature.  The adoption of codification standards did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, FASB issued guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  It is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  In February 2008, the FASB extended the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued guidance which permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance which requires an acquirer of a business to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired.  It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the financial statements, net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the non-controlling interest and comprehensive income shall be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the non-controlling interest.  The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent.  This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
 
20

 
 
In September 2008, the FASB provided guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an attached third-party credit enhancement (such as a guarantee). It clarifies that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement (such as a guarantee) should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the liability. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In October 2008, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies the application of fair value accounting in an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. This guidance was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In November 2008, the FASB provided guidance which clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB provided guidance which assists in determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This amendment is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. A contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to our own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. This amendment provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the this exception. Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment was recorded, based on amounts that would have been recognized if this guidance had been applied from the issuance date of the affected instruments. As a result of the reclassification to derivative liabilities, the cumulative effect of these adjustments on October 1, 2009 was an increase in the discount on our Series A preferred stock of $255,159, an increase in derivative liability of $1,309,593, a reduction of additional paid-in capital of $712,818 and a corresponding increase in the accumulated deficit of $341,616. See Note 4 to the financial statements included in this report.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP.  As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We believe the following represent our most critical accounting policies. 
 
Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
 
 
·
It requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
 
·
Changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated Results of Operations or financial condition.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue recognition, and income taxes.  We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable and the results provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences may be material.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
We maintain cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts in the past.
 
In the normal course of business, we provide credit terms to our customers. Accordingly, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition; we typically do not require collateral or security from our customers.  We maintain an allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable based upon the expected collectability of all accounts receivable. 
 
 
21

 
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.  Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer’s financial condition, age of the customer’s receivables and changes in payment histories.  Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance has not been received by the contractual pay date.  Interest is not charged on trade receivables that are past due. 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods.  Provisions, when required, are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Due to competitive pressures and technological innovation, it is possible that estimates of the net realizable value could change in the near term.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the asset or the term of the lease.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed while renewals and improvements over $500 are capitalized.  When property and equipment are disposed, any gains or losses are included in the results of operations.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue has historically been from three sources: (i) sales from Care Services; (ii) diagnostic equipment product sales; and sales of medical diagnostic stains from reagents.
 
Care Services.  “Care Services” include lease contracts in which we provide Care Services and lease devices to distributors or end users and retain ownership of the leased device.  We typically lease devices on a month-to-month contract with customers (members) that use our Care Services.  However, these contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days notice.  Under our standard contract, the leased device becomes billable on the date the member orders the product, and remains billable until the device is returned.  We recognize revenue on leased devices at the end of each month that Care Services have been provided.  In those circumstances in which we receive payment in advance, we record these payments as deferred revenue.
 
Customers order our products by phone or website.  We do not enter into long-term contracts.  All of the Care Services sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.
 
In connection with generally accepted accounting principles to qualify for the recognition of revenue at the time of sale, we note the following:
 
 
·
The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable at the date of sale.
 
·
The buyer has paid or the buyer is obligated to pay within 30 days, and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product.
 
·
The buyer's obligation would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product.
 
·
The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the Company.
 
·
The Company does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer.
 
·
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated and they are negligible.
 
Accounting standards state that, “an enterprise shall report revenues from external customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services unless it is impractical to do so.”  In the Care Services revenue line, vast majority of our sales are Care Service revenues.  Because Care Service equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, we disclose sales as one line item.
 
 
22

 
 
Our revenue recognition policy for sales to distributors is the same as the policy for sales to end-users.
 
A customer qualifies as a distributor by completing a distributor application and proving its sales tax status.  Upon qualifying as a distributor, a customer receives a 35% discount from retail prices, and the distributor receives an additional 5% discount when product is purchased in case quantities.  Our distributors are not required to maintain specified amounts of product on hand, and distributors are not required to make minimum purchases to maintain distributor status.  Distributors have no stock rotation rights or additional rights of return.  Sales to distributors are recorded net of discounts.
 
Sales returns have been negligible, and any and all discounts are known at the time of sale.  Sales are recorded net of sales returns and sales discounts.  There are no significant judgments or estimates associated with the recording of revenues.
 
The majority of our revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. On occasion, we have revenue transactions that have multiple elements (such as device sales to distributors).  For revenue arrangements that have multiple elements, we consider whether: (i) the delivered devices have standalone value to the customer; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the monitoring devices; and (iii) the customer does not have a general right of return.  Based on these criteria, we recognize revenue from the sale of devices separately from the monitoring services to be provided to the customer.  We defer and amortize the fair value of the element (sales of the monitoring device) over a twenty-four month period, which is the expected life of the contracts.
 
Reagents. We recognize medical diagnostic stains revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold. Neither the sale of diagnostic equipment nor the sale of medical diagnostic stains contains multiple deliverables.
 
Customers order the diagnostic stain product lines by purchase order.  We do not enter into long-term contracts.  Its diagnostic equipment sales were $10,400 for the year ended September 30, 2010 and its medical diagnostic stain sales were $463,665 for the year ended September 30, 2010.  All of these sales were made with net 30-day payment terms.
 
Under GAAP we recognize revenue from our diagnostic stain products at the time of sale by applying the following principles:
 
 
·
The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable at the date of sale.
 
·
The buyer has paid or the buyer is obligated to pay within 30 days, and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product.
 
·
The buyer's obligation would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product.
 
·
The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the Company.
 
·
We do not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer.
 
·
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated and they are negligible.
 
·
Customers may return diagnostic equipment within 30 days of the purchase date. Customers may return the medical diagnostic stains within 30 days of the purchase date provided that the stain’s remaining life is at least eight months. Customers must obtain prior authorization for a product return.
 
Our diagnostic stain products have not been modified significantly for several years.  There is significant history on which to base our estimates of sales returns.  These sales returns have been negligible.
 
We have 70 types of products based on the number of individual stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) in our inventory.  Most of these 70 SKUs are for medical diagnostic stain inventory.  For example, certain medical diagnostic stains are packaged in different sizes, and each packaged size (i.e. 16 oz., 32 oz., and 48 oz.) has a unique SKU in inventory.  Accounting standards state that, “an enterprise shall report revenues from external customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services unless it is impractical to do so.”  The vast majority of our sales are of medical diagnostic stains, with a minimal portion of sales being diagnostic equipment.  Because diagnostic equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, we disclose sales as one line item.
 
Our revenue recognition policy for sales to distributors is the same as the policy for sales to end-users.
 
A customer qualifies as a distributor by completing a distributor application and proving its sales tax status.  Upon qualifying as a distributor, a customer receives a 35% discount from retail prices, and the distributor receives an additional 5% discount when product is purchased in case quantities.  Our distributors are not required to maintain specified amounts of product on hand, and distributors are not required to make minimum purchases to maintain distributor status.  Distributors have no stock rotation rights or additional rights of return.  Sales to distributors are recorded net of discounts.
 
 
23

 
 
Sales returns have been negligible, and any and all discounts are known at the time of sale.  Sales are recorded net of sales returns and sales discounts.  There are no significant judgments or estimates associated with the recording of revenues.
 
Although not the focus of our new business model, we also sell diagnostic devices in certain situations. We recognize product sales revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer and the customer cannot return the devices, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Because diagnostic equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, we disclose the sales as one line item for reagents in the statement of operation.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on this evaluation under the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

James J. Dalton – Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
 
Mr. Dalton joined us as a director on October 1, 2004.  He has been our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman since June 16, 2008.  Mr. Dalton was a director and President of SecureAlert from August 2003 until June 2008.  Prior to joining SecureAlert, Mr. Dalton was the owner and President of Dalton Development, a real estate development company.  He served as the President and coordinated the development of The Pinnacle, an 86-unit condominium project located at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah.  Mr. Dalton also served as the president of Club Rio Mar in Puerto Rico, a 680-acre beach front property that includes 500 condominiums, beach club, numerous restaurants, pools and a Fazio-designed golf course.  He was also a founder and owner of the Deer Valley Club, where he oversaw the development of 25 high-end condominiums with a “ski-in and ski-out” feature.   We believe that Mr. Dalton’s prior experience as a president and director of a public company, and in particular, of our former parent, SecureAlert, provides him with unique understanding of and experience with our business development and objectives. This background qualifies him to serve on our board and provides him with insight into the specific challenges facing smaller public companies.  We believe that his experience helps him as he directs our response to meet the needs of our business, including our need to access capital markets and sources of financing.  Mr. Dalton’s real estate development and sales experience also prepared him to advise us in the development and marketing of our ActiveOne™ solutions and products and related services.
 
James G. Carter - Director
 
Mr. Carter joined our board in September 2008.  He is the founder and principal of J. Carter Wine & Spirits, Inc. (1989-2002) and is a director and former president of White Beeches Golf & Country Club since 1990.  Mr. Carter's business experience includes Vice President of Sales & Marketing (North America and Caribbean) for Suntory International Corp. (1981-1989), National Sales Director Wines for Austin Nichols & Company, Inc. (1975-1980).  He is a former Councilman and Council President for the Township of Washington (Bergen County, New Jersey).  He retired in 2000.  Mr. Carter attended Villanova University. Mr. Carter has a very strong sales and marketing background with Suntory International Corp and Austin Nichols & Company.  We believe that Mr. Carter’s experiences in starting, owning, and operating his own business and his extensive sales experience, qualify him to serve as a member of our board of directors as we continue to develop our distribution networks and design our marketing and sales programs.
 
William K. Martin - Director
 
Mr. Martin joined our board in September 2008.  He is a founder/partner/broker of Commerce CRG, and has served as its managing director from 1993 through the present, as well as acting as the Associate Broker in the firm’s Park City, Utah, office since 2007.  Commerce CRG is a commercial real estate and management business, and is an independently owned and operated member of the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance, which focuses on commercial real estate and management. Mr. Martin has also been a board member of a number of national and international real estate service firms.  Mr. Martin has also been active in industry organizations and is currently a member of the Economic Development Corporation of Utah and sits on that organization's executive board.  Mr. Martin has a Bachelor of Science degree from Utah State University in Applied Statistical and Computer Science and has earned the rank of Captain in the United States Air Force (retired).   Mr. Martin has a very strong sales and marketing background with Commerce CRG and Cushman Wakefield.  Mr. Martin’s qualifications to serve on our board include his past experience as a member of the State of Utah’s Economic Development board which give him insight into governmental affairs and government relations, and his sales experience, assisting as we begin to bring our products and services to market and establish our distribution channels.
 
Jack J. Johnson – Director
 
Mr. Johnson joined our board in October 2008.  In 1976, he founded the Jack Johnson Company, a land planning, civil engineering and architectural company specializing in residential and resort communities.  He has served as President of our company since its inception.  He also formed Land Equity Partners, a residential subdivision development company, and Resort Development Services, a company focusing on development of hotels and condominiums.  He received a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois in the late 1960s, and is a licensed civil engineer in several states.   His qualifications to serve on our board include his engineering background, which will help as we enter into research and development contracts related to our products and service solutions.  He is also well qualified as a result of his extensive business experience and sales expertise.
 
Robert J. Welgos – Director
 
Mr. Welgos joined our board of directors in June 2009.  He has a BS in engineering from the Newark College of Engineering (1962), and worked for 38 years with Allied Signal Corp (now Honeywell International), in various technical department management positions, including being responsible for operations of Customer Technical Service Dept., Design Engineering, Testing Laboratories, and Process Laboratories.  He also served as the Manager, North American Distributor Sales and Director of International Operations, where he established distribution networks throughout Pacific Rim and South America.  During this period, he was instrumental in the creation of joint ventures with Lucky Goldstar in Korea and Japan Synthetic Rubber in Japan.  Mr. Welgos retired from Allied Signal Corp in 2000.  Mr. Welgos is the Chairman of our board’s Audit Committee.   Among other things, Mr. Welgos’ education and extensive experience in the industries described above qualify him to advise our company in our research and development agenda and customer service solutions.  In addition, his experience in Asia is important as we source our products and manufacturing .

Mr. Dalton is Chairman of the board of directors.  He also serves as our Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Dalton received restricted shares of our common stock in lieu of cash compensation and warrants to purchase 13,000,000 shares of our common stock for services provided as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Dalton did not receive additional compensation for his service on the board of directors. His compensation is disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 27 below.
 
 
(2)
These amounts represent non-cash compensation expense based on the fair value of option grants calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and having an aggregate grant date fair value of $557,918, using the following assumptions: exercise price of $1.25; risk-free interest rate of 2.71%; expected life of five years; expected dividend of 0%; and a volatility factor of 141%. The options vest in accordance with certain performance goals; if such goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed. We recognized $93,662 of compensation expense related to the option awards in 2009, with the remaining value of $464,256 recognized in 2010.  See discussion in the notes to the financial statements included in this report.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation
 
Chief Executive’s Management Agreement
 
On May 12, 2009, we entered into a two-year management contract with our Chief Executive Officer, James J. Dalton, with an effective term of October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2010.  Under that agreement, we paid Mr. Dalton for his services as follows:
 
 
·
Accrued but unpaid compensation from October 1, 2008, through May 12, 2009, totaling $120,000 was converted to restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share, or 480,000 shares;
 
·
An additional 1,520,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted to Mr. Dalton at a price of $0.25 per share, which vested immediately; and
 
·
Warrants for the purchase of 13,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.25 per share.
 
Section 162(m) Compliance
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, or “Code”, limits us to a deduction for federal income tax purposes of no more than $1 million of compensation paid to certain executive officers in a taxable year. Compensation above $1 million may be deducted if it is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of the Code.
 
Our board of directors has determined that the stock purchase warrants granted under Mr. Dalton’s management contract as described above, with an exercise price at least equal to the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant should be treated as “performance-based compensation.” Our board of directors believes that we should be able to continue to manage our executive compensation program for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, our “Named Executive Officers”) so as to preserve the related federal income tax deductions, although individual exceptions may occur.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty.
 
We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide the executive officers and directors with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 
The following table sets forth information as of November 24, 2010 by:
 
 
·
each person or group who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock;
 
·
each of our Named Executive Officers;
 
·
each of our directors; and
 
·
all of the executive officers and directors as a group.
 
Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 24, 2010, is deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 25,039,160 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2010. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below, the address for each beneficial owner is c/o ActiveCare, Inc., 5095 West 2100 South, West Valley City, Utah 84120.

ADP Management (“ADP”) is an entity under common control of David Derrick, a former director and Mr. Dalton our Chairman and CEO.  During the year ended September 30, 2010 we entered into a one-year year consulting agreement with ADP.  Pursuant to this agreement we are to pay ADP $260,000 in compensation.  ADP also received 500,000 warrants to purchase common stock for $1.00 per share.  Also during the year ended September 30, 2010, ADP provided a $100,000 short-term loan to the Company and we repaid this amount without interest prior to year-end.
 
Indemnification Agreements
 
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors and executive officers.
 
Procedures for Related Party Transactions
 
Under our code of business conduct and ethics adopted in June 2009, our employees, officers and directors are discouraged from entering into any transaction that may cause a conflict of interest for us. In addition, they must report any potential conflict of interest, including related party transactions, to their managers or our corporate counsel who then reviews and summarizes the proposed transaction for our audit committee. Pursuant to its charter, our audit committee is required to then approve any related-party transactions, including those transactions involving our directors. In approving or rejecting such proposed transactions, the audit committee will be required to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the audit committee, including the material terms of the transactions, risks, benefits, costs, availability of other comparable services or products and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Our audit committee will approve only those transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests, as our audit committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion. A copy of our code of business conduct and ethics and audit committee charter are available on our corporate website at www.activecare.com.

Corporate Governance and Director Independence
 
Board Composition
 
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors is comprised of five directors, four of whom (Mr. Carter, Mr. Martin, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Welgos) are independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. This means that the board of directors has determined that those directors (1) are not officers or employees of ActiveCare or its subsidiary and (2) have no direct or indirect relationship with ActiveCare that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  We have determined that it is in our best interest to have directors who would meet the requirements of being “independent” under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
Board Committees
 
Our board of directors has established an audit committee and a compensation committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors.  
 
Audit Committee
 
Our audit committee is comprised of two of our independent directors: Mr. Welgos and Mr. Martin.  Mr. Welgos serves as chair of the audit committee and is considered to be the financial expert on that committee. Our audit committee has responsibility for, among other things:
 
 
·
selecting and hiring our independent registered public accounting firm, and approving the audit and non-audit services to be performed by and the fees to be paid to our independent registered public accounting firm;
 
·
evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent auditors;
 
·
monitoring the integrity of our financial statements and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as they relate to financial statements or accounting matters;
 
·
reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal control policies and procedures;
 
·
discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our interim and year-end operating results; and
 
·
preparing the audit committee report required by the SEC, to be included in our annual proxy statement.
 
As indicated above, our board of directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Welgos and Mr. Martin meet the definition of “independent directors” for purposes of serving on an audit committee under applicable SEC rules, and we intend to comply with these independence requirements within the time periods specified.  In addition, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Welgos meets the standards established by the SEC to qualify as a “financial expert” under Item 407 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.  Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for our audit committee, which is available on our corporate website at www.activecaresys.com.
 
Compensation Committee
 
Our compensation committee consists of two independent directors, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Carter.  Mr. Johnson is the chairman of our compensation committee. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:  
 
 
·
reviewing and approving compensation of our executive officers including annual base salary, annual incentive bonuses, specific goals, equity compensation, employment agreements, severance and change in control arrangements, and any other benefits, compensations or arrangements;
 
·
reviewing succession planning for our executive officers;
 
·
reviewing and recommending compensation goals, bonus and stock compensation criteria for our employees;
 
·
preparing the compensation committee report required by the SEC to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
 
·
administering, reviewing and making recommendations with respect to our equity compensation plans.
 
Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for our compensation committee, which is available on our corporate website at www.activecaresys.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers and all persons performing similar functions. A copy of that code is available on our corporate website at www.activecaresys.com. We expect that any amendments to such code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.
 
Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees
 
The board of directors is elected by and is accountable to our stockholders.  The board establishes policy and provides our strategic direction, oversight, and control.  The board met five times during fiscal year 2010.  All directors attended 100% of the meetings of the board and the board committees of which they are members.
 
Item 14.  Principal Accounting Fees and Services
 
Audit Fees
 
Audit services consist of the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, and other services related to filings and registration statements filed by us and other pertinent matters.  Audit fees paid to Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. for fiscal years 2010 and 2009 totaled approximately $60,000 and $87,000, respectively.
 
Audit Related Fees, Tax Fees, Audit Related Fees, and All Other Fees
 
Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. has not provided to us any consulting services (including tax consulting and compliance services or any financial information systems design and implementation services in fiscal years 2010 and 2009.
 
The audit committee of the board of directors considered and authorized all services provided by and fees paid to Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C.
 
Auditor Independence
 
Our audit committee considered that the work done for us in fiscal 2010 by Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. was compatible with maintaining Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C.'s independence.
 
Report of the Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. The directors who serve on the Audit Committee are all independent for purposes of applicable SEC Rules. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that has been adopted by the board of directors.
 
We have reviewed and discussed with management the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2010.
 
We have discussed with the independent registered public accountant of the Company, Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., the matters that are required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, The Auditors Communication with Those Charged with Governance, as amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which includes a review of the findings of the independent registered public accountant during its examination of the Company's financial statements.
 
We have received and reviewed written disclosures and the letter from Hansen Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., which is required by Independence Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, by the Independence Standards Board, and we have discussed with Hansen Barnett & Maxell, P.C. their independence under such standards. We have concluded that the independent registered public accountant is independent from the Company and its management.
 
Based on our review and discussions referred to above, we have recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements of the Company be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Respectfully submitted by the members of the Audit Committee:
 
 
Robert J. Welgos, Chair
William K. Martin

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders
ActiveCare, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of ActiveCare, Inc., (the Company), for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ActiveCare, Inc. as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company adopted new guidance regarding instruments indexed to the Company’s common stock. The effects resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earning effective October 1, 2009.

ActiveCare, Inc.
(Formerly Volu-Sol Reagents Corporation)
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2010 and 2009



1.             Organization and Nature of Operations

ActiveCare, Inc. (the "Company" or "ActiveCare") was formed March 5, 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of SecureAlert, Inc. [OTCBB: SCRA.OB], a Utah corporation formerly known as RemoteMDx, Inc. ("SecureAlert").  During the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, the ownership interest of SecureAlert in ActiveCare was reduced through (a) the sale of shares of its common stock by the Company to investors in private transactions and (b) the sale and transfer of shares of its common stock by SecureAlert in private transactions.  SecureAlert completed its divestiture of ActiveCare in February 2009, through the distribution of approximately 1,421,667 shares of the Company's common stock to the shareholders of SecureAlert.  Each shareholder of SecureAlert received one share of ActiveCare common stock for every 117 shares of SecureAlert common stock owned of record on January 30, 2009. The distribution date was February 27, 2009.  Following the distribution of its shares of the Company, SecureAlert retained no ownership interest in ActiveCare.  Effective July 15, 2009, the Company changed its name to ActiveCare, Inc., and its state of incorporation to Delaware.

The Company’s revenue has historically been from three sources: (i) sales from Care Services (Care Services are the monitoring services the Company provides to customers who use the ActiveOne PAL); (ii) diagnostic equipment product sales; and (iii) sales of medical diagnostic stains.

 
Going Concern
 
The Company incurred a net loss and has negative cash flows from operating activities for the years ended September 30, 2010, and 2009.  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 remove substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company must generate positive cash flows from operations and obtain the necessary funding to meet its projected capital investment requirements.  Management’s plans with respect to this uncertainty include the selling of the Company’s products and services as well as raising additional capital from the sale of the Company’s common stock.  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 revenues or obtain additional financing, it will be unable to continue the development of its products and may have to cease operations.

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 
F-10

 
 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other debt obligations approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company has cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  As of September 30, 2010, the cash balance on the Company’s bank account exceeded the federally insured limit by $1,463,923.

 
In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and requires no collateral from its customers.  The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable based upon the expected collectability of all accounts receivable.

 
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had sales to entities which represented more than 10% of its revenues.  Mountain Home Medical accounted for approximately 28% ($20,954) and AmeriLife accounted for approximately 10% ($7,677) of the sales of Care Services which totaled $74,258 for the year ended September 30, 2010.  Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. accounted for approximately 14% ($63,381) and Richard Allan Scientific 16% ($75,387) of the sales of medical diagnostic stains which totaled $474,065 for the year ended September 30, 2010.  Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. accounted for approximately 17% ($76,947) and Richard Allan Scientific 13% ($58,227) of sales for the year ended September 30, 2009.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original maturities to the Company of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.  Specific reserves are estimated by management based on certain assumptions and variables, including the customer’s financial condition, age of the customer’s receivables and changes in payment histories.  Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance has not been received by the contractual pay date.  Interest is not charged on trade receivables that are past due.

Inventories
 
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Inventories consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Inventories as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Raw materials
  $ 35,127     $ 38,851  
Work in process
    3,086       5,422  
Finished goods
    7,629       39,209  
Reserve for inventory obsolescence
    (251 )     (34,517 )
Inventory Valuation
    (4,075 )     -  
     Total inventory
  $ 41,516     $ 48,965  


 
F-11

 

Provisions, when required, are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Due to competitive pressures and technological innovation, it is possible that estimates of the net realizable value could change in the near term.

Investments
On May 21, 2010, the Company entered into a “Co-Development and Exclusive Distribution Agreement” with Vista Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vista”) for the development and co-marketing of NanoBiosensor™ -based biomarker assessment products for use with the Company’s proprietary line of continuous patient monitoring products marketed to the elderly and senior market.  In connection with the Co-Development Agreement, the Company made an investment in Vista’s Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of $50,000.  The Vista Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock of Vista under certain conditions and grants to the holder certain rights and preferences, subject to prior rights granted to the holders of Vista’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock.  It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment which effectively represents the issued common stock of the untraded company; that investment is carried at its original cost of $50,000 in the balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue has historically been from three sources: (i) sales from Care Services; (ii) diagnostic equipment product sales and sales of medical diagnostic stains from reagents.

Care Services
“Care Services” include contracts in which the Company provides monitoring services to end users and sales of devices to distributors.  The Company typically enters into contracts on a month-to-month basis with customers (members) that use the Company’s Care Services.  However, these contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days notice.  Under the Company’s standard contract, the device becomes billable on the date the customer (member) orders the product, and remains billable until the device is returned to the Company.  The Company recognizes revenue on  devices at the end of each month that Care Services have been provided.  In those circumstances in which the Company receives payment in advance, the Company records these payments as deferred revenue.

The Company recognizes Care Services revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

Customers order the Company’s product lines by phone or website.  The Company does not enter into long-term contracts.  All of the Company Care Services sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.

In connection with generally accepted accounting principles to qualify for the recognition of revenue at the time of sale, the Company notes the following:

 
·
The Company’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable at the date of sale.
 
·
The buyer has paid the Company, or the buyer is obligated to pay the Company within 30 days, and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product.
 
·
The buyer's obligation to the Company would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product.
 
·
The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the Company.
 
·
The Company does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer.
 
·
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated and they are negligible.


Accounting standards state that, “an enterprise shall report revenues from external customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services unless it is impractical to do so.”  In the Care Services revenue line, the vast majority of the Company’s sales are Care Service revenue.  Because Care Service equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, the Company discloses sales as one line item.

 
F-12

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy for sales to distributors is the same as the policy for sales to end-users.

A customer qualifies as a distributor by completing a distributor application and proving its sales tax status.    The Company’s distributors are not required to maintain specified amounts of product on hand, and distributors are not required to make minimum purchases to maintain distributor status.  Distributors have no stock rotation rights or additional rights of return.  Revenues from products sold with long-term service contracts are recognized ratably over the expected life of the contract.  Sales to distributors are recorded net of discounts.

Sales returns have been negligible, and any and all discounts are known at the time of sale.  Sales are recorded net of sales returns and sales discounts.  There are no significant judgments or estimates associated with the recording of revenues.

The majority of the Company’s revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. On occasion, the Company has revenue transactions that have multiple elements (such as device sales to distributors).  For revenue arrangements that have multiple elements, the company considers whether: (i) the delivered devices have standalone value to the customer; (ii) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the monitoring devices; and (iii) the customer does not have a general right of return.  Based on these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of devices separately from the monitoring services to be provided to the customer.  The Company defers and amortizes the fair value of the element (sales of the monitoring device) over a twenty-four month period, which is the expected life of the contracts.

Reagents
The Company recognizes medical diagnostic stains revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold. Neither the sale of diagnostic equipment nor the sale of medical diagnostic stains contains multiple deliverables.

Customers order the Company’s diagnostic stain product lines by purchase order.  The Company does not enter into long-term contracts.  Its diagnostic equipment sales were $10,400 for the year ended September 30, 2010 and its medical diagnostic stain sales were $463,665 the year ended September 30, 2010.  All of the Company’s sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.

In connection with generally accepted accounting principles to qualify for the recognition of revenue at the time of sale, the Company notes the following:

 
·
The Company’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable at the date of sale.
 
·
The buyer has paid the Company, or the buyer is obligated to pay the Company within 30 days, and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product.
 
·
The buyer's obligation to the Company would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product.
 
·
The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the Company.
 
·
The Company does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer.
 
·
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated and they are negligible.
 
·
Customers may return diagnostic equipment within 30 days of the purchase date. Customers may return the medical diagnostic stains within 30 days of the purchase date provided that the stain’s remaining life is at least 8 months. Customers must obtain prior authorization for a product return.

The Company’s diagnostic stain products have not been modified significantly for several years.  There is significant history on which to base the Company’s estimates of sales returns.  These sales returns have been negligible.

The Company has 70 types of products based on the number of individual stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) in its inventory.  Most of these 70 SKUs are for medical diagnostic stain inventory.  For example, certain medical diagnostic stains are packaged in different sizes, and each packaged size (i.e. 16 oz., 32 oz., and 48 oz.) has a unique SKU in inventory.  Accounting standards state that, “an enterprise shall report revenues from external customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services unless it is impractical to do so.”  The vast majority of the Company’s sales are of medical diagnostic stains, with a minimal portion of sales being diagnostic equipment.  Because diagnostic equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, the Company discloses both types of sales as one line item.

 
F-13

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy for sales to distributors is the same as the policy for sales to end-users.

A customer qualifies as a distributor by completing a distributor application and proving its sales tax status.  Upon qualifying as a distributor, a customer receives a 35% discount from retail prices, and the distributor receives an additional 5% discount when product is purchased in case quantities.  The Company’s distributors are not required to maintain specified amounts of product on hand, and distributors are not required to make minimum purchases to maintain distributor status.  Distributors have no stock rotation rights or additional rights of return.  Sales to distributors are recorded net of discounts.

Sales returns have been negligible, and any and all discounts are known at the time of sale.  Sales are recorded net of sales returns and sales discounts.  There are no significant judgments or estimates associated with the recording of revenues.

Although not the focus of the Company’s new business model, the Company also sells diagnostic devices in certain situations. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer and the customer cannot return the devices, prices are fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Because diagnostic equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, the Company discloses the sales as one line item for Reagents in the statement of operation.

Research and Development Costs
All expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. These expenditures in both 2010 and 2009 were for the development of a medical home monitoring device and associated services. For the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, research and development expenses were $458,047 and $375,293, respectively.

Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expenses for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $420,394 and $45,286, respectively.  Virtually all of this advertising expense relates to the Company’s ActiveOne™ product.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be settled or realized.  Deferred income tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary.  Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, when incurred, are classified in interest expense and income tax provisions, respectively.

Warrant Exercises
The Company issues common shares from warrant exercise once it has received verification of the funds deposited and has received an exercise letter from the warrant holder.
 
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 
F-14

 

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

Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock.  As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were 12,604,000 and 15,214,284 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  It is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  In February 2008, the FASB extended the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance which requires an acquirer of a business to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired.  It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the financial statements, net income shall be adjusted to include the net income attributed to the non-controlling interest and comprehensive income shall be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the non-controlling interest.  The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent.  This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In November 2008, the FASB provided guidance which clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited.  The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB provided guidance which assists in determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This amendment is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted. A contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. This amendment provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for this exception. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009, and the effects on fiscal year 2010’s financial statements are discussed in Note 4.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). This new guidance revises previous guidance by eliminating the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, by establishing a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity and by changing when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity.  This guidance will be effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted.  This guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued guidance that changes the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under its Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables codification. The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: 1) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and 2) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. This guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 
F-15

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on share-lending arrangements entered into on an entity's own shares in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing.  This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and fiscal years within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those years. Retrospective application is required for such arrangements and early application is not permitted.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to disclose the following:

 
·
Separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe reasons for the transfers.

 
·
Present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, rather than on one net number, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 
·
Provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities.

 
·
Provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or level 3.

This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  This guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”), which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 855 (Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 is effective upon the issuance of the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Property and Equipment

 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the asset or the term of the lease.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed while renewals and improvements over $500 are capitalized.  When property and equipment are disposed, any gains or losses are included in the results of operations.

Change in Accounting Principle

Beginning October 1, 2009, the Company recognized the fair value of the Class A and Class B warrants along with the embedded conversion features of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) (see Note 10) as derivative liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. This was as a result of the adoption of new guidance as found in ASC Topic 815-10, effective for the Company at the beginning of this fiscal year.  Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these liabilities at each reporting period are required to be recognized as non-cash expense or income in the consolidated statement of operations.  Future movements in the Company’s stock price alone can materially affect both its results of operations and financial position in the future.  Substantial movements in the Company’s stock price could result in material volatility in the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Upon adoption, a cumulative effect adjustment was recorded, based on amounts that would have been recognized if this guidance had been applied from the issuance date of the affected instruments.  The following table illustrates the changes to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet resulting from the implementation of this guidance:

   
Balance at
September 30,
2009
   
Cumulative
Effect
Adjustment
   
Balance at
October 1,
2009
 
Series A convertible preferred stock, net (liability)
  $ (384,171 )   $ 255,159     $ (129,012 )
Derivative liability
  $ -     $ (1,309,593 )   $ (1,309,593 )
Additional paid in capital
  $ (6,043,470 )   $ 712,818     $ (5,330,652 )
Accumulated deficit
  $ 5,057,151     $ 341,616     $ 5,398,767  

The fair value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature on the Series A of $712,818 was included in additional paid-in capital on the issuance date of the Preferred stock and warrants (September 10, 2009).  As a result of the reclassification to derivative liabilities, the cumulative effect of these adjustments on October 1, 2009 was an increase in the discount on the Series A of $255,159, an increase in derivative liability of $1,309,593, a reduction of additional paid-in capital of $712,818 and a corresponding increase in the Company’s accumulated deficit of $341,616.

The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the fair value of the warrants and Series A on October 1, 2009 with the following assumptions and inputs: Exercise price ranging from $1.75 to $2.25; Risk free interest rate of between 0.37% to 0.87%; Expected life between 1 years to 2.50 years; Expected dividend of 0%; and a volatility factor of 147%.  For the year ended September 30, 2009, the accumulated effect on net loss per share was a decrease of $0.03 per share. The adjustment was recorded as a cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle and for the year ended September 30, 2010, net loss per share decreased by $.02 per share.

5.
Patent License Agreement

During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company licensed the use of certain patents from a third party.  This license agreement will aid the Company as it furthers its business plan.  The Company is required to pay $300,000 plus a 5% royalty on the net sales of all licensed products and it has the right to purchase the underlying patents for 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company has capitalized the patents and is amortizing them over the remaining estimated useful life of 9 years.  The Company has recognized $33,645 and $14,019 of amortization expense as of the year ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Company had not paid the $300,000 as of September 30, 2010, but is in negotiations to cure the default.

Less accumulated depreciation
    (21,921 )
Leased Equipment, net
  $ 96,544  

The Company began leasing monitoring equipment to customers for Care Services in October 2009.   The leased equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets over 3 years regardless if the equipment is leased to a customer or remaining in stock.  Customers have the right to cancel the service agreements anytime.  The leased equipment depreciation expense is recorded under Cost of Revenue for Care Services.

Leased Equipment depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, was $21,921 and $0 respectively.

7.

Warrants

During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued warrants to the board of directors of the Company for the purchase of an aggregate of 13,500,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $1.25 per share.  The warrants expire during 2014.

As of September 30, 2010, all of these warrants had been vested.  1,060,000 warrants were vested once the Company’s common stock began trading.  The Company’s board of directors accelerated vesting of 4,000,000 warrants based on the CEO’s performance. The balance was vested in full during July 2010.

The fair value of each warrant granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and assumes that the performance goals will be achieved using the following inputs: Exercise price ranging from $0.25 to $1.25; Risk free interest rate of between 2.02% - 2.71%; Expected life of 5 years; Expected dividend of 0%; and a volatility factor of 141%.  If performance goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of a peer company’s common stock among other factors. The Company uses the simplified method within the valuation model due to the Company’s short trading history.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Series A stock was converted into common stock and the Class A and Class B warrants were replaced by 1,584,159 shares of Class D warrants (see Note 10).  The exercise price of the Class D warrants is $1.00.  The warrants are immediately exercisable for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock through September 10, 2014.

During the fiscal year 2010, the Series B stock was converted into common stock and the Class C warrants were replaced by 415,841 shares of Class E warrants (see Note 11).  The exercise price of the Class E warrants is $1.00.  The warrants are immediately exercisable for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock through March 24, 2015.

The fair value of Class D and Class E warrants were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and assumes that the performance goals will be achieved using the following inputs: Exercise price ranging of $1.00; Risk free interest rate of 0.42%; Expected life range of 4 - 4.5 years; Expected dividend of 0%; and a volatility factor of 129%.  If performance goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of a peer company’s common stock among other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued 700,000 warrants related to the raising of capital and 500,000 warrants for consulting services.  The exercise price of the warrants is $1.00.  The warrants are immediately exercisable for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock through September 30, 2015 at $1.37 per share.  The total value of the warrants is $1,218,091 according to the Black-Scholes valuation model and assumes that the performance goals will be achieved using the following inputs: Exercise price of $1.00; Risk free interest rate of 0.64%; Expected life of 5 years; Expected dividend of 0%; and a volatility factor of 129%.  If performance goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of a peer company’s common stock among other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Income Taxes

 
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be settled or realized.  Deferred income tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary.  Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, when incurred, are classified in interest expense and income tax provision, respectively.

 
For the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $11,639,000 and $2,416,000, respectively, for income tax purposes.  The amount and ultimate realization of the benefits from the net operating losses is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company's future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined.  The Company has established a valuation allowance for all deferred income tax assets not offset by deferred income tax liabilities due to the uncertainty of their realization.  Accordingly, there is no benefit for income taxes in the accompanying statements of operations.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had net carryforwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $14,651,000 which will begin to expire in 2026.  The utilization of the net loss carryforwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized.  The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that likely could reduce or limit the availability and utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards.  For example, limitations are imposed on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards if certain ownership changes have taken place or will take place.  The Company will perform an analysis to determine whether any such limitations have occurred as the net operating losses are utilized.
 
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future effects of differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws and the tax rates expected to be in place. For fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s expected federal tax rate was 34% and 15%, respectively.

No assets and liabilities were acquired from HG, and no operations were acquired.  The purchase price of $735,840 was allocated to an intangible asset (access to financing sources).  Management estimated another financing to occur in approximately 18 months.  The Company capitalized the intangible asset and was amortizing it on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of 18 months.  During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company raised additional capital from these sources, so the amortization expense was accelerated and included in the fiscal expenses. The Company has recognized $694,960 and $40,880 of amortization expense for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
