NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of RemoteMDx, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of 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 have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008.
Going Concern
The Company has a history of recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, a working capital deficit, and an accumulated deficit. 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 raising additional capital from the exercise of options, sale of Volu-Sol Reagents common stock, and expanding its market for its tracking products. There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to pay back any operating losses and pay back debts. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital from the sale of equity or debt securities. 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS 123R also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Prior to our adopting SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, generally no compensation expense is recorded when the terms of the award are fixed and the exercise price of the employee stock option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123,"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
For the three months ended December 31, 2007, no stock options were granted to employees. The Company granted 150,000 stock options to employees during the three months ended December 31, 2006. The weighted average fair value of stock options at the date of grant during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $0.69, respectively.
The expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise trends. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related stock options. The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividend over the expected life of the stock options.
The following are the weighted-average assumptions used for options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively:
| December 31, 2007 | December 31, 2006 |
| | |
Risk free interest rate | - | 4.69% |
Expected life | - | 5 Years |
Dividend yield | - | n/a |
Volatility | - | 145% |

As of December 31, 2007, there was approximately $1,267,997 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that will be recognized over approximately the next two years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated costs to sell.
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. 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 options and warrants, the conversion of the convertible debentures and related accrued interest, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were approximately 16,184,404 and 46,882,148 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. The common share equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2007, consisted of 7,178 shares of common stock underlying Series A Preferred Stock, 113,783 shares of common stock underlying Series B Preferred Stock, and 16,063,443 shares underlying options and warrants. Of the 16,063,443 shares underlying options and warrants, 11,307,030 shares underlie options and warrants which have vested and 4,756,413 shares underlie options and warrants which have not yet vested.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale and monitoring of offender tracking device systems and reagent stains.
The sale of offender tracking device systems may include the tracking device, such as the TrackerPAL device, and/or the related monitoring service. If the sale includes the device only, revenue from the sale is recognized immediately. Revenue from the monitoring service contracts is recognized monthly as earned in accordance with the monitoring service contract. If the sale includes both the sale of device and monitoring service, the revenue from the sale of device is recognized immediately and the revenue from the monitoring service contract is recognized in the month the service is provided. The Company records reserves for estimated returns of defective product. Amounts received in advance of shipment are recorded as deferred revenue. 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.
The sale of reagent stains is recognized when an agreement with the buyer exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the product has been shipped, and collection is reasonably assured.
Substantially all items included in inventory are finished goods and consisted of the following as of December 31, 2007:
Reagent stains, net of reserve for obsolescence of $61,966 | | $ | 47,059 | |

During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company had sold or leased 13,415 electronic monitoring devices. The monitoring equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of three years. This cost for billable devices is included in cost of goods sold. Depreciation expense in connection with monitoring equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $296,755 and $372,490, respectively.

General
RemoteMDx, Inc. (“RemoteMDx” or the “Company”) markets, monitors and sells the TrackerPAL device. The TrackerPAL is used to monitor convicted offenders that are on probation or parole, in the criminal justice system. The TrackerPAL device utilizes GPS and cellular technologies in conjunction with a monitoring center that is staffed 365 days a year. The Company believes that its technologies and services will benefit the law enforcement officials and allow them to respond immediately to a problem involving one of their offenders. The parole and probation market consists of approximately 4.9 million adults in the criminal justice system at any given time. The TrackerPAL is targeted to meet the needs of this market.
Our Strategy
Our goal is to establish the Company as a significant marketer and distributor of leading technology and services we have developed for the parolee and probation market.
Critical Accounting Policies
In Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
With respect to inventory reserves, revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company applies the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of its financial statements:
Inventory Reserves
The nature of the Company's business requires it to maintain sufficient inventory on hand at all times to meet the requirements of its customers. The Company records finished goods inventory at the lower of standard cost, which approximates actual costs (first-in, first-out) or market. Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out), or market. General inventory reserves are maintained for the possible impairment of the inventory. Impairment may be a result of slow moving or excess inventory, product obsolescence, or changes in the valuation of the inventory. In determining the adequacy of its reserves, the Company analyzes the following, among other things:
Current inventory quantities on hand;
| · | Product acceptance in the marketplace; |
| · | Product obsolescence; and |
| · | Technological innovations. |
Any modifications to these estimates of reserves are reflected in the cost of goods sold within the statement of operations during the period in which such modifications are determined necessary by management.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from selling or leasing the TrackerPAL device and providing monitoring services in connection with the device. In addition, the Company receives revenue from the sale of medical diagnostic stains.
The sale of offender tracking device systems may include the tracking device, such as the TrackerPAL device, and/or the related monitoring service. If the sale includes the device only, revenue from the sale is recognized immediately. If the sale includes the monitoring service, revenue for the service is recognized ratably over the life of the monitoring service contract. Revenue from the monitoring service contract is recognized monthly as earned in accordance with the monitoring service contract. If the sale includes both the sale of device and monitoring service, the revenue from the sale of device is recognized immediately and the revenue from the monitoring service contract is recognized in the month the service is provided. The Company records reserves for estimated returns of defective product. Amounts received in advance of shipment are recorded as deferred revenue. 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.
The sale of reagent stains is recognized when an agreement with the buyer exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the product has been shipped, and collection is reasonably assured.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of other groups of assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the estimated costs to sell. In addition, depreciation of the asset ceases. During the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, no impairment of long-lived assets was recorded.
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS 123R also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Prior to adopting SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under APB 25, generally no compensation expense is recorded when the terms of the award are fixed and the exercise price of the employee stock option equals or exceeds the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123,"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
For the three months ended December 31, 2007, no stock options were granted to employees. The Company granted 150,000 stock options to employees during the three months ended December 31, 2006. The weighted average fair value of stock options at the date of grant during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $0.69, respectively.
The expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise trends. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related stock options. The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividend over the expected life of the stock options.
The following are the weighted-average assumptions used for options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively:
| December 31, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 |
| | | |
Risk free interest rate | - | | 4.69% |
Expected life | - | | 5 Years |
Dividend yield | - | | n/a |
Volatility | - | | 145% |

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, cost of goods sold was $2,184,100 compared to $2,205,393 during the three months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $21,293.

The increase as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to an increase in material, shipping and labor costs.
Research and Development Expenses
During the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, research and development expense was $1,040,447 and $1,219,659, respectively, and consisted primarily of expenses associated with the development of SecureAlert’s TrackerPAL device and related services.

The decrease of $229,684 relates primarily to a decrease in the following expenses: bad debt of $13,684, commissions of $26,867, consulting of $770,998, investment relations and banking fees of $154,282, lease of $13,898, legal and professional fees of $228,199, outside services of $184,883, overhead allocation of $67,000, rent of $13,136, supplies of $31,111, and other decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses of $184,626.

The decrease in consulting of $770,998 relates primarily to the issuance of warrants and shares of common stock issued consultants in the three months ended December 31, 2006 for public relations and branding services to increase the Company presence in the capital markets.
Interest Income and Expense
During the three months ended December 31, 2007, interest expense totaled $375,510 compared to $284,285 paid in the three months ended December 31, 2006. This amount consists primarily of non-cash interest expense of approximately $178,406 related to unamortized financing costs associated with shares of common stock issued for prepaid interest. The increase of $91,225 is due primarily from the issuance of common stock to extend the Company’s related party line of credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is presently unable to finance its operations solely from cash flows from operating activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company financed its operations primarily from the sale and issuance of common stock of the Company’s subsidiary Volu-Sol Reagents and the exercise of warrants for the purchase of common stock of the Company for net proceeds of $4,027,380.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had unrestricted cash of $7,713,104 and a working capital of $3,707,769, compared to unrestricted cash of $5,556,275 and a working capital of $2,596,985 at September 30, 2007.
During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company's operating activities used cash of $1,284,739, compared to $552,722 of cash provided during the three months ended December 31, 2006.
The Company used cash of $43,313 for investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2007.
The Company's financing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2007, provided cash of $3,484,881 compared to $5,898,488 during the three months ended December 31, 2006. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company had net proceeds of $1,575,000 from the sale of equity securities through the Company’s subsidiary Volu-Sol Reagents, $2,452,380 from the exercise of warrants, and $160,898 of cash acquired through the purchase of Midwest and Court Programs. Cash was decreased by $188,534 in payments to the bank line of credit, $436,219 in net payments on the related party line of credit, $78,644 in payments on notes payable.
The Company incurred a net loss of $2,352,383 through the three months ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a net tangible stockholders' equity of $942,737 and an accumulated deficit of $135,101,671. These factors, as well as the risk factors set out in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2007, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s plans with respect to this uncertainty, is to focus on sales of the TrackerPAL product. There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to payback operating losses and payback debts. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the debt holders will be willing to convert the debt obligations to equity securities or that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital from the sale of equity or debt securities. 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.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. In their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that we and our independent registered public accounting firm considered to be “material weaknesses.” A material weakness is a significant deficiency or combination of significant deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial information will not be prevented or detected.
The deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting related to the failure to properly disclose equity and debt transactions. In addition, there have been deficiencies in our inventory control process. The deficiencies were detected in the evaluation process and the transactions have been appropriately recorded and disclosed in this Form 10-QSB. In addition, we have not created a “Disclosure Controls Committee” to monitor and follow up on our processes to assure disclosures are complete and accurate; however, we intend to have such a committee in place by October 1, 2008. We are in the process of improving our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to resolve these deficiencies through improved supervision and training of our accounting staff, but additional effort 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.
Based on the matter identified above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. These deficiencies have been disclosed to our Audit Committee.
Changes in Internal Controls. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Since the most recent evaluation date, there have been no significant changes in our internal control structure, policies, and procedures or in other areas that could significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting.
