ActiveCare, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
1.
Basis of Presentation

 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of ActiveCare, Inc. (the “Company” or “ActiveCare”) has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2011, and results of its operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.  The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company incurred a negative gross margin and has negative cash flows from operating activities for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the period ended December 31, 2011.  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.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
 
2.
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue has historically been from two sources: (i) sales from Care Services; and (ii) 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.  All of the Company’s Care Services sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.

In connection with GAAP, 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.
 
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).  In these situations, the Company provides the distributor with the ActiveOne™ device and a monthly monitoring service, which are both included in the contracted pricing.  In these multiple element revenue arrangements, the Company will consider whether: (i) the deliverables have value on a standalone basis to the distributors, and (ii) the distributors have a general right of return.  The Company determined that these elements do have standalone value to distributors and that the delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially within the control of the Company.  Therefore, in accordance with accounting standards, the Company has determined that these revenue elements should be considered as separate units of accounting.  Accounting standards state that arrangement consideration is to be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables on the basis of their relative selling price.  When applying the relative selling price method, the selling price for each deliverable is determined using vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists; otherwise, third-party evidence of the selling price is used to determine the selling price.  If neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence of the selling price exists for a deliverable, then the best estimate of the selling price is used for that deliverable.
 
The Company does not currently sell, nor does it intend to sell the ActiveOne™ device separately from the monthly monitoring service, therefore the Company is not able to determine vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price.  The Company is also unable to determine third-party evidence of selling price, because there is not a similar product in the market.  The ActiveOne™ device is the only device in the market with fall detection technology.  The Company is therefore required to determine its best estimate of selling price in order to determine the relative selling price of the separate deliverables in its revenue arrangements.  In order to determine the best estimate of selling price of the ActiveOne™ device, the Company included the following cost components in its estimate: production costs, development costs, PTCRB certification costs, and estimated gross margin.  In order to determine the best estimate of the monthly monitoring service, the Company included the following components in its estimate: monthly communication costs, monitoring labor costs, PSAP database and monthly maintenance costs, and estimated gross margin.  The Company allocates the arrangement costs based on these best estimates of selling price.  The relative selling price allocated to the sale of the ActiveOne™ device is recognized when the device is delivered to the distributor.  The relative selling price of the monitoring service is recognized monthly when the services have been provided.

Reagents
The Company recognizes medical diagnostic stains (“Reagents”) 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 medical diagnostic stain sales were $107,280 the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  All of the Company’s Reagents sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.
 
With respect to Reagents revenues, to qualify for the recognition of revenue under GAAP 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 eight 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 stains sales are of medical diagnostic stains, with a minimal portion of sales being diagnostic equipment.  
 
Although not the focus of the Company’s new business model, the Company also sells diagnostic devices in certain situations.  The Company recognizes device 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.
 
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.

3.             Net Loss per Common Share
 
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 December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 23,198,000 and 12,354,000 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
4.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements are expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or the results of operations.
 
5.             Inventory
 
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 December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, were as follows:
 
   
December 31, 2011
   
September 30, 2011
 
             
Care Services (ActiveHome™) Inventory
  $ 68,832     $ 68,264  
Reagent Inventory
               
Raw materials
  $ 44,135     $ 38,433  
Work in process
    4,010       7,131  
Finished goods
    6,400       6,586  
Reserve for inventory obsolescence
    (1,714 )     (329 )
Inventory Valuation
    (4,075 )     (4,075 )
Total inventory
  $ 117,588     $ 116,010  
 
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.
 
6.
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.
 
 
Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011:
 
   
December 31, 2011
    September 30, 2011  
Equipment

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 was to aid the Company as it furthers its business plan.  In accordance with the license agreement, the Company was required to pay $300,000 plus a 5% royalty on the net sales of all licensed products.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had recorded the license agreement fee as a long-term asset and had also recorded a corresponding liability as the fee was not yet paid.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company agreed to purchase the patents and settle the previous license agreement obligation by issuing 600,000 shares of common stock and 480,000 shares of Series C preferred stock.  The total value of the patents on the purchase date was $922,378, which was based on a valuation conducted by an independent value advisor.  The value of the common stock issued was based on the trading value on the date of issuance and amounted to $240,000. The implied value of the Series C preferred stock of $682,378 was  based on the value difference of the patents and the common stock issued related to the purchase of the patents and settlement of the existing liability.
 
On the date the Company exercised its option to purchase the patents, the gross costs associated with the license agreement have been reclassified as part of the recorded costs of the patents.
 
The Company is amortizing the cost over the remaining useful life of the patents, which is expiring in 2018.  The Company recognized $133,435 of amortization expense relating to the patents as of December 31, 2011.
 
9.
Notes Payable
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Company owed $300,000 to an unrelated party.  The $300,000 note had an annual interest rate of 12% and was due on June 30, 2010.  Any unpaid balance of the loan and interest expense after the due date has an annual interest rate of 18%.  In connection with the $300,000 loan, the Company also issued 225,000 shares of common stocks with a total value of $93,103 as a loan origination fee.  The Company fully amortized the loan origination fee during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company accrued $14,722 as interest expense related to this loan.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company has not repaid the note nor the interest accrued.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company also owed $340,000 to another unrelated party. The $340,000 loan has an annual interest rate of 20% and is due on February 3, 2012.  After 90 days, the lender has the right to convert the loan into the Company’s common stock at the lesser of 50% of fair market value at the date of conversion or $0.25 per share if the Company has not repaid the loan before the due date. The conversion feature related to these notes will result in a derivative liability.  The Company will value the derivative liability conversion feature during the subsequent period when the right to convert is in effect.  In connection with the loan, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 341,000 shares of common stock as a loan origination fee.  These warrants vested immediately upon grant and are exercisable at a price of $0.44 per share through November 3, 2016.  The fair value of the warrants issued at the date of grant was $107,130, and was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.44; risk-free interest rate of 0.39%; expected life of 2.5 years; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 134.57%; and market price on date of grant of $0.44.  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 warrants is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $67,538 of the loan origination fee related to the grant of these warrants.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company accrued $6,367 as interest expense related to this loan. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company has not repaid the note nor the interest accrued.

(See note 8, above.)  The par value of the Series C is $0.00001 per share.  The fair market value of the Series C on the date of grant was $682,378.  The value of the Series C was measured based on the value difference of the patents and the common stock issued in connection with the patent license agreement settlement.  The Series C is non-voting stock and it does not pay dividends.
 
Each share of Series C may be converted into 10 shares of common stock.  The right of conversion is not effective until after 30 days following the first fiscal quarter for which the Company reports gross revenue of more than $1,250,000.
 
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On October 4, 2011, the Board of the Company authorized 1,000,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D”).  As originally designated the Series D was to be vested immediately upon issuance, and each share of Series D could be converted into 10 shares of common stock.  The original designation also provided that the Series D would be non-voting stock and would not pay a dividend.  The original designation also provided that conversions of the Series D would be limited to not more than 4.99% of common stock.  No shares of the Series D have been issued by the Company.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted an amended and restated designation and declaration of rights and preferences of the Series D.  (See note 15.)

12.
Warrants
 
The fair value of each stock option (warrant) grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The expected life of stock options (warrants) represents the period of time that the stock options (warrants) are expected to be outstanding, based on the simplified method allowed under GAAP.  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 warrants is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.  The dividend yield of all the warrants the Company has granted is zero.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized non-cash expense of $2,013,491 and $126,884, respectively, related to the vesting and re-pricing of all stock options and warrants granted in current and prior years.

Item 2.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader better understand our operations and our present business environment.  This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the accompanying notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “ActiveCare,” the “Company,” “we,” and “our” refer to ActiveCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
 
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., formerly known as RemoteMDx, Inc. (“SecureAlert”).  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.  In May 2009, we obtained worldwide and exclusive rights to additional patents and patent applications, including the Panic Button Phone, Emergency Phone with Single Button Activation, Emergency Phone for Automatically Summoning Multiple Emergency Response Services, and Emergency Phone with Alternate Number Calling Capability. With regard to intellectual property, we believe that the 12/614,242 patent we developed and filed in November 2009 is extremely important.  This Systems and Devices for Emergency Tracking and Health Monitoring patent serves as an “umbrella” and incorporates much of our intellectual property.  Our business plan is to develop and market products for monitoring the health of and providing assistance to mobile and homebound seniors and the chronically ill, including those who may require a personal assistant to check on them during the day to ensure their safety and well being.
 
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 through the sale of equity securities or debt offerings.  However, because of the development stage nature of our business and our current financial condition, our attempts may be unsuccessful in obtaining such financing or the amount of the financing obtained may be inadequate to continue to implement our 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.
 
On October 10, 2011, we entered into a written agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sapinda Deutschland GmbH (“Sapinda”), pursuant to the terms of which Sapinda has agreed to advise and assist the Company in establishing an equity line of credit (the “Equity Line”) to provide up to $10 million in equity financing to the Company.  We have received $900,000 prior to the execution of the Agreement, and the balance of funding has not yet been secured.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company signed a letter of intent of acquiring a health monitoring company located in Texas.  The purchase price is considered to be three times of the acquired company’s annualized revenue from the first quarter of 2012.  The Company intends to close the transaction no later than February 29, 2012 with cash down payment of $350,000.  And the Company will pay for the balance of purchase price in restricted shares of common stock.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company re-priced previously issued warrants as follows:
 
 
·
Board of Directors – 332,000 warrants were re-priced with original exercise price of $1.25 to $0.50 per share, and resulting in additional compensation expense of $3,297.
 
·
Option Transfer – 750,000 warrants were transferred between officers and Board of Directors, the Company revalued these warrants, which resulted in additional compensation expense of $21,765.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors designated and approved the issuance of two different series of preferred stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) and the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D”).
 
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
 
The rights and preferences of the Series C preferred stock are as follows:
 
 
·
Each share of Series C Preferred stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock.
 
·
The Series C preferred stock is not entitled to dividends.
 
·
The Series C preferred stock is not entitled to vote.
 
·
The Series C preferred stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share.
 
·
The Series C preferred stock can only convert when our quarterly revenue reaches $1,250,000.

 
16

 

 
The Company issued 480,000 shares of Series C to the licensor under a patent license agreement to settle amounts owing under the agreement.
 
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Board of Directors amended the rights and preferences of the Series D.  No shares of Series D have been issued (see Note 15 to the financial statements).  The rights and preferences of the Series D preferred stock, as amended, are as follows:
 
 
·
Each share of Series D Preferred stock is convertible into 50 shares of common stock, commencing April 1, 2012;
 
·
The Series D preferred stock is entitled to a dividend of 8% per annum, payable quarterly;
 
·
The Series D preferred stock is entitled to vote on an “as-converted” basis with the common stock;
 
·
The Series D preferred stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share; and
 
·
The Company may redeem the Series D preferred stock at any time after March 31, 2012 at a price that is equal to 120% of the original issue price of the shares redeemed.
 
Marketing and Market
 
We market our products through a number of distribution channels including direct to consumer, medical device and equipment distributors, channel partners, and health care providers and other caregivers.
 
Direct-to-Consumer
 
We sell our products and services through a variety of direct to consumer methods including on-line sales, direct mail and direct response advertising –– and have limited outbound telemarketing initiatives.  With the exception of web sales, direct to consumer sales tend to be expensive, with a high acquisition cost per subscriber.  We are focusing our efforts on utilizing other distribution channels to drive new sales at the most efficient cost.
 
Medical Equipment/Device Distributors
 
Our sales team has established a distributor network, and we are growing this distributor network as we build relationships across the United States.  We are targeting distributors that serve the Medicare and Medicaid markets, distributors that target home medical equipment and supplies, and distributors that service healthcare providers.
 
Distributor relationships provide access to established markets and potential customers in a variety of settings.  We leverage their existing relationships and investments in marketing to support our products.
 
Channel Partners
 
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 has been 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 Advantage insurance carriers to offer ActiveCare as a value-added service to Medicare policyholders.  The insurance carriers believe they can effectively mitigate claims costs through proactive monitoring of policyholders 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 policyholder.  This product will support discharge planning for Medicare patients, accelerating the patients release from the hospital and minimizing the opportunities for readmissions.
 
Healthcare Providers/Caregivers
 
We believe that caregivers will be an important outlet for our products.  Caregivers include home health agencies, hospice organizations, skilled nursing facilities, hospitals and physician offices.  Often the patient is reluctant to purchase the product on their own volition.  With the counseling of the caregiver, the patient and or the family member may be more accepting of the product and their condition.  We are initiating tests with healthcare providers in the skilled nursing and hospice categories.

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 quarter ended December 31, 2011, we spent approximately $20,691 compared to $178,407 during the same period in 2010 on research and development (“R&D”).  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 fall 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.

In concert with the development of our products, we also created the CareCenter.  In contrast to a typical monitoring center, the 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) is able to locate the caller’s precise location on a detailed map.  In addition the CareCenter software can identify the caller, provide location services, emergency dispatch, medical history to emergency responders, and concierge services.
 
We believe the CareCenter is the cornerstone of our business.  The CareCenter services include highly trained CareSpecialists 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 ActiveOne™ device.  The ActiveOne™ is a patented mobile personal emergency response (“PERS”) device that allows the user to contact our CareCenter at the push of a button.  The ActiveOne™ 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 R&D and patents as we broaden the services offered by our CareCenter.  Eventually we intend to add to the functionality of the ActiveOne™ 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.

ActiveOne+
 
ActiveOne+™ is the second-generation PAL (“Personal AssistanceLink”) handset, which includes one button connection to the CareCenter, GPS locating and fall detection technology all in one unit.  The ActiveOne+™ features enhanced fall detection to better detect when a fall occurs as well as enhanced locating technology that combines both GPS and cellular triangulation that allows our CareCenter to locate a member within several meters 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, to better respond to any emergency condition.  In addition the ActiveOne+™ has built-in receptors utilizing Bluetooth technologies to accommodate body-worn devices that can communicate vital sign data to the CareCenter.  We have obtained FCC certification for the ActiveOne+™.
 
ActiveWatch
 
The ActiveWatch™ incorporates all of the core features of the PAL handsets into an easy to wear wrist device.  The ActiveWatch™ combines GPS, Cellular and fall detection technology that communicates directly to the CareCenter.  The device is also water resistant and can be worn in the shower, providing protection wherever the member may be.  The ActiveWatch™ also incorporates heart rate sensors that can alert the CareCenter when the heart rate is irregular; it also incorporates Bluetooth technology that accommodates other body-worn devices.
 
ActiveHome
 
Our comprehensive in-home wellness solution complements and integrates with our current CareCenter service and ActiveOne™ mobile health products.  The ActiveHome™ solution integrates several in-home health and wellness monitoring and convenience products and services available from various manufacturers and service providers to ensure members’ well-being, safety and convenience, including the following: (1) remote home monitoring to detect changes in members’ activity patterns that might indicate health emergency situations so our CareSpecialists can proactively avert emergencies; (2) an electronic pillbox to ensure prescription compliance; (3) remote in-home actions initiated from our CareCenter, such as locking and unlocking doors and turning off unattended stoves; (4) electronic conveniences, including automatic illumination of house lights; and (5) wireless transmission of health data including weight, blood pressure, and blood glucose so our trained CareSpecialists can act upon potentially life-threatening changes.  In addition to technological solutions, the ActiveHome™ comprehensive offering includes installation of in-home safety and convenience items including easy access bathtubs and bed and chair support rails.
 
All ActiveHome™ components are linked through Bluetooth and wireless connections to an easy to use portal in the home, and the entire home is linked 24/7 to trained CareSpecialists at our ActiveCare CareCenter through the portal and the ActiveOne™ mobile unit.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The following summary includes accounting policies that we deem to be most critical to our business.  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 its consolidated results of operations or financial condition
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 
We have prepared and included with this report condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP.
 
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.
 
With respect to concentration of credit risk, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, inventories, impairment of assets, revenue recognition, and research and development, those material accounting policies that we believe are critical to an understanding of our financial results and condition are as described below.
 
 
19

 
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
We have cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
In the normal course of business, we provide credit terms to our customers.  Accordingly, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and require no collateral from customers.  We maintain an allowance for uncollectable accounts receivable based upon the expected collectability of all accounts receivable.
 
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. Reagent inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods.  Care Services inventory consist of ActiveHome inventories.  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.
 
Leased Equipment
 
Our leased equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  We amortize the cost of leased equipment on the straight line method over thirty six months, which is the estimated useful life of the equipment.  Amortization of leased equipment is recorded as cost of sales.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenue has historically been from two sources: (i) sales from Care Services; (ii) 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, these payments are recorded as deferred revenue.
 
Customers order our products by phone or website.  
In connection with GAAP, 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.
 
·
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.
 
 
20

 
 
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 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.
 
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 discount from retail prices or receives commission per sale according to the contract.  Our distributors are not required to maintain specified amounts of inventory 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).  In these situations, the Company provides the distributor with the ActiveOne™ device and a monthly monitoring service, which are both included in the contracted pricing.  In these multiple element revenue arrangements, we consider whether: (i) the deliverables have value on a standalone basis to the distributors, and (ii) the distributors have a general right of return.  The Company has determined that these elements do have standalone value to distributors and that the delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially within the control of the Company.  Therefore, in accordance with accounting standards, the Company has determined that these revenue elements should be considered as separate units of accounting.  Accounting standards state that arrangement consideration shall be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables on the basis of their relative selling price.  When applying the relative selling price method, the selling price for each deliverable shall be determined using vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists; otherwise, third-party evidence will be used to determine the selling price.  If neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence of selling price exists for a deliverable, the vendor shall use its best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable.
 
The Company does not currently sell, nor does it intend to sell the ActiveOne™ device separately from the monthly monitoring service, therefore the Company is not able to determine vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price.  The Company is also unable to determine third-party evidence of selling price, because there is not a similar product in the market.  The ActiveOne™ device is the only device in the market with fall detection technology.  The Company is therefore required to determine its best estimate of selling price in order to determine the relative selling price of the separate deliverables in its revenue arrangements.  In order to determine the best estimate of the selling price of the ActiveOne™ device, the Company included the following cost components in its estimate: production costs, development costs, PTCRB certification costs, and estimated gross margin.  In order to determine the best estimate of the monthly monitoring service, the Company included the following components in its estimate: monthly communication cost, monitoring labor costs, PSAP database and monthly maintenance costs, and estimated gross margin.  The Company allocates the arrangement costs based on these best estimates of selling price.  The relative selling price allocated to the sale of the ActiveOne™ device is recognized when the device is delivered to the distributor. The relative selling price of the monitoring service is recognized monthly when the services have been provided.
 
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. The medical diagnostic stain sales were $107,280 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  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:
 
 
21

 
 
 
·
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 approximately 70 types of products based on the number of individual stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) in the 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 Reagents segment sales are of medical diagnostic stains, with a minimal portion of sales being diagnostic equipment.  
 
Although not the focus of our new business model, we also sell diagnostic devices in certain situations.  We recognize device 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.
 
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.  The 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.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
Net Sales
 
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, we had net sales of $169,168 compared to $174,440 in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Our Care Services, including revenue for the ActiveOne™ services, accounted for $61,888 and $55,854 of the total revenues in the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The reason for the increase in Care Services sales is due to introduction of the service plans.  Stains and reagent revenue accounted for $107,280 and $118,586 in the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The reason for the decrease in Reagent revenue was fewer orders for these products during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue totaled $258,489 in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $254,031 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, of the total cost of revenues, Care Services accounted for $159,813 and stains and reagents accounted for $98,676, compared to $139,214 and $114,817, respectively, in the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The increase of the cost of revenue for Care Services in the quarter ended December 31, 2011, was caused by an increase in expenses incurred to expand services of the CareCenter and the associated cost of ActiveOne™.  The decrease of the cost revenue for Reagents was due to the decreased sales of these products.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, we incurred research and development expenses of $20,691 compared to $178,407 in research and development expense incurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Research and development expenses in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were lower than the prior year period when we incurred expenses related to the development of the ActiveOne+™.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3,958,916, compared to $1,413,062 during the same period one year ago.  The increase was due to higher non-cash compensation expense paid in common stock and warrants during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  For the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the non-cash expense associated with the issuance of common stock, warrants and the amortization of stock options was $3,365,023 and $682,471, respectively.
 
Other Income and Expense
 
Interest expense was $90,626 and $10,938 in the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The increase in 2011 was due to higher non-cash expense related to the issuance of short term notes during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  The loss on disposal of equipment was $0 and $3,833 in the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in 2011 was due to higher obsolete equipment disposal during 2010.
 
Net Loss
 
We had a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaling $4,159,474, compared to a net loss of $1,685,658 for the same period one year ago.  This increase in net loss was due to the items 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 our securities until we begin to have positive cash flows from operating activities under our new business plan.
 
On October 10, 2011, we entered into a written agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sapinda Deutschland GmbH (“Sapinda”), pursuant to the terms of which Sapinda has agreed to advise and assist the Company in establishing an equity line of credit (the “Equity Line”) to provide up to $10 million in equity financing to the Company.  We have received $900,000 prior to the execution of the Agreement, and the balance of funding has not yet been secured.
 
At December 31, 2011, we had cash of $63,546, compared to cash of $178,131 at September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, we had working capital deficit of $1,148,916, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,143,899 at December 31, 2011.  The decrease of cash was due to less cash proceeds from financing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, operating activities used cash of $448,080 and $741,209, respectively.  The decreased cash used in operating activities was due to decreased expenses in marketing and research and development.  Investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, used cash of $6,505 and $386,265, respectively.  The decreased use of cash in investing activities was due to the addition of fixed assets and leased equipment during the period ended December 31, 2010.  Financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, provided cash of $340,000 and $7,500, respectively.  The increase was due to a short-term loan secured during the three months ended December 31, 2011.
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $4,159,474 and negative cash flows from operating activities totaling $448,080, compared to a net loss of $1,685,658 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $741,209 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The increase in net loss and decreased cash flow from operating activities was due primarily to the higher non-cash compensation expenses incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
 
As of December 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $29,095,749 compared to $24,936,275 at September 30, 2011.  Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was $5,661, compared to stockholder’s deficit of $541,388 at September 30, 2011.  These changes were due to continued negative cash flow from operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2011.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements are expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of operations.
 
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Information about the Company’s exposure to market risk was disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 2011. There have been no material quantitative or qualitative changes in market risk exposure since the date of that filing.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  
 
During the audit process, we identified material weaknesses discussed below in the Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Management has not made any correcting changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the material weaknesses discussed below remain at December 31, 2011.
 
Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
(i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
(ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 
(iii)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
 
 In the course of the management's assessment, it has identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:
 
Control Environment
 
We did not maintain an effective control environment for internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we concluded that we did not have appropriate controls in the following areas:
 
 
·
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
 
·
Ineffective controls over communication of material transactions between management and accounting personnel.
 
Financial Reporting Process 
 
We did not maintain an effective financial reporting process to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, we initially failed to appropriately account for and disclose the valuation and recording of certain equity and financing arrangements.
 
 We are in the process of improving our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to eliminate these material weaknesses through improved supervision and training of our staff, but additional effort and staffing is needed to fully remedy these deficiencies. Our management, audit committee, and directors will continue to work with our auditors and outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.             Legal Proceedings
 
 
We are not involved in any legal proceedings which management believes will have a material effect upon the financial condition of the Company, nor are any such material legal proceedings anticipated.  We are not aware of any contemplated legal or regulatory proceeding by a governmental authority in which we may be involved.
