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 June 30, 2012, and results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.
Going Concern
Even though the Company had a positive gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012, 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 nine months ended June 30, 2012. 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 continue to improve gross margins and 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 by issuing secured debt and increasing the sales of the Company services and products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or 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.
Fair Value of Financial Statements
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels on inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
· | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
· | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I. Assets and liabilities included in this level are valued using dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
· | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. |
8
In valuing certain contracts, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy level based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
2. Net Loss per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents then outstanding. The computation of loss per share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Common share equivalents consist of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock purchase warrants. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 57,137,557 and 14,289,000 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 Stock equivalents outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, consisted of the following:
June 30, | June 30, | |||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Conversion of debt | 35,084,686 | - | ||||||
Conversion of Series D Preferred Stock | 2,750,000 | - | ||||||
Conversion of Series C Preferred Stock | 4,800,000 | - | ||||||
Exercise of outstanding Common Stock options and warrants | 13,865,871 | 13,652,000 | ||||||
Issuance of employee restricted shares | 637,000 | 637,000 | ||||||
Total Common Stock equivalents | 57,137,557 | 14,289,000 |
3. 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.
4. Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
On March 8, 2012, the Company acquired 4G Biometrics, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“4G”). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company acquired 100 percent of the member interests of 4G and 4G will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As amended, the purchase price for the member interests of 4G was comprised as follows:
· | $350,000 in cash (as of the date of this report, the Company have paid $200,000 and the balance owed is $150,000); |
· | $50,000 of liabilities payable in cash; |
· | 160,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock; |
· | Options for the purchase of up to 4,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $0.10 per share to each of the three sellers, exercisable once 4G has 4,300 members, as follows: |
o | Options for 433,333 shares vest when an additional 5,000 4G members as added, or a total of 9,300 members; |
o | Options for 433,333 shares vest when an additional 5,000 4G members are added, or a total of 14,300 members; and |
o | Options for 433,333 shares vest when an additional 5,000 4G members are added, or a total of 19,300 members; and |
o | so forth until fully vested. |
Three of the 4G key managers will continue to manage the operations of 4G under written employment agreements. In addition, on October 1, 2012, one of the key managers will be appointed to serve as a member of our Board of Directors if 4G has sales of at least $1,000,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2012.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price will be allocated to 4G’s intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill.
As of June 30, 2012, the purchase price for 4G reflects a total consideration transferred of $590,000, which has been preliminarily allocated as $479,305 of goodwill and $110,695 of acquired customer contracts.
9
The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were measured based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and are considered Level 3 fair value inputs. The fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill was as follows:
Assets acquired - Acquired customer contract | $ | 110,695 | ||
Liabilities assumed | (50,000 | ) | ||
Fair value of net assets acquired | 60,695 | |||
Fair value of consideration given | 540,000 | |||
Goodwill | $ | 479,305 |
The following table presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as though the acquisition of 4G Biometrics, LLC had been completed as of the beginning of each period presented. This unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations to be expected in any future period or the results of operations that actually would have been realized had the entities been combined during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

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 June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, were as follows:
June 30, 2012 | September 30, 2011 | |||||||
CareServices (ActiveHome™) Inventory | $ | 65,058 | $ | 68,264 | ||||

10
When required, provisions 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 June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011:
June 30, 2012 | September 30, 2011 | |||||||
Equipment | $ | 230,454 | $ | 229,229 | ||||
Software | 25,111 | 25,111 | ||||||

8. 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. Under 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 nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company agreed to purchase the patents and settle amounts owed under the license agreement by issuing 600,000 shares of Common Stock and 480,000 shares of Series C. The total value of the patents on the purchase date was $922,378, based on a valuation conducted by an independent valuation expert. The value of the Common Stock issued was $240,000, based on the market price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance. The implied value of the Series C was $682,378, was based on the difference between the value of the patents and the Common Stock issued in settlement of the existing liability.
The Company is amortizing the cost over the remaining useful life of the patents, which expire in 2018. The Company recognized $196,870 of amortization expense relating to the patents as of June 30, 2012.
The Company’s future patent amortization as of June 30, 2012, is approximately as follows:

9. Notes Payable
As of June 30, 2012, the Company owed the following notes payable:
(1) | During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company borrowed $300,000 from a shareholder. The $300,000 note had an annual interest rate of 12% and was due on June 30, 2011. 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 issued 225,000 shares of Common Stock with a total value of $93,103 as a loan origination fee. The loan origination fee is recorded as a discount to the loan. The Company fully amortized the loan origination fee during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. |
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the due date of the loan was extended to April 30, 2012, with an additional $30,000 of loan origination fee added to the principal of the loan, which was recorded as a discount to the loan. In addition, $45,852 of unpaid interest was added to the principal before the extension. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company amortized the remaining $16,667 of the $30,000 loan origination fee and accrued $15,301 interest expense related to this loan. The loan principal of $375,852 and accrued interest of $18,266 are currently past due and have not been paid by the Company.
The lender is under the control of David Derrick, who became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman in July 2012.
(2) | During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company borrowed $340,000 from another entity controlled by Mr. Derrick. This loan had an annual interest rate of 20% and was due on February 3, 2012. After February 2, 2012, the lender has the right to convert the loan into the Company’s Common Stock at the lesser of 50% of fair market value on the date of conversion or $0.25 per share. The conversion feature related to this note results in a derivative liability. Also in connection with this loan, the Company granted warrants to purchase of 341,000 shares of Common Stock as a loan origination fee recorded as a discount on the loan. These warrants vested immediately and are exercisable at $0.44 per share through November 3, 2016. The fair value of the warrants 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 quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company repaid $85,000 of the principal, and the lender converted $60,000 of the loan amount to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock and transferred $50,000 of the note to another party (see (3) below). |
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the remaining $145,000 of the convertible loan, together with interest, plus $50,000 of services payable and additional borrowings of $154,000 (including a $14,000 loan origination fee) were rolled into a new convertible loan under a promissory note. The total amount of the new loan is $403,586. The note has an annual interest rate of 15%. $187,000 of the loan is due on May 31, 2012, and the remaining balance of the loan is due on June 30, 2012. The loan can be converted into Common Stock at 50% of fair market value or $0.04 per share, whichever is less.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the lender converted $32,400 to 810,000 shares of Common Stock, $110,000 to 55,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company accrued $13,680 interest expense related to this loan. As of June 30, 2012, the loan principal of $261,186 and accrued interest of $9,205 is currently past due and has not been paid by the Company.

10. Derivative Liabilities
As described in Note 9 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has issued convertible notes. The Company has determined that these notes are subject to derivative liability treatment and are required to be accounted for at fair value. The Company has determined the aggregate fair value of the embedded derivative liability represented by these notes as $1,346,174 at June 30, 2012. The Company has recorded a loss on the change in the derivative liability of $1,320,918 and $1,346,174, for the three months and the nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: conversion price at $0.035 per share; risk free interest rate of 0.09%; expected life of 0.17 years; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 182.71%; and market price on date of grant of $0.07. The expected life of the notes is equal to the average term of the conversion feature, as allowed for under the simplified method prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 107. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s Common Stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related conversion feature. The dividend yield represents anticipated cash dividends to be paid over the expected life of the conversion feature.
13
As part of the embedded derivative feature contained in the convertible loans, the Company is unable to guarantee that there would be enough shares of stock to settle other “freestanding instruments.” Accordingly, all warrants and options outstanding or issued during the period ended June 30, 2012 (except for stock options issued to employees) should be measured at their fair value and recorded as additional liability. However, the fair value of these warrants was insignificant at June 30, 2012.
11. Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, without further shareholder approval, to designate and determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock before any issuance of the Preferred Stock and to create one or more series of Preferred Stock, fix the number of shares of each such series, and determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of each series of Preferred Stock, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, and liquidation preferences.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On October 4, 2011, the Company issued 480,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) in connection with the patent license agreement settlement (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. Each share of Series C may be converted into 10 shares of Common Stock, provided, however, that a holder may not convert shares of Series C which, upon conversion, would result in the holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company amended the rights and preferences of the Series C as follows:
· | Required payment of dividends at a rate of 8% per annum in either cash or Common Stock at the Company’s discretion. If paid in Common Stock, the price of the Common Stock will be the average closing price of the last 10 trading days of each quarter; and |
· | Permitted conversion of the Series C into Common Stock at any time after June 30, 2012. |
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company accrued, but did not pay $40,432 of dividends associated with the Series C.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
On October 4, 2011, the Board of Directors designated 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as “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 and would not pay a dividend. In addition, conversion of the Series D was limited to not more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the following amendments to the designation of the rights and preferences of the Series D prior to the issuance of any of the shares:
· | Changed the conversion ratio from 10 shares of Common Stock for one share of Series D to 50 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series D; |
· | Added an annual dividend rate of 8%, payable quarterly beginning April 1, 2012; |
· | Changed the shares from non-voting to voting, on an as-converted basis; |
14
· | Eliminated the 4.99% conversion limitation; |
· | Permitted conversion of the Series D, commencing April 1, 2012; |
· | Permitted the Company to redeem the Series D shares at a redemption price equal to 120% of original purchase with 15 days notice. |
The Company issued 55,000 shares of Series D upon conversion of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2012. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company accrued, but did not pay $410 of dividends associated with the Series D.
Liquidation Preference
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, before any distribution or payment may be made to the holders of the Common Stock, the holders of the Series C and Series D are entitled to be paid out of the assets an amount equal to $1.00, per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. If the assets of the Company are insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Preferred Stock, then the assets shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion of the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
12. Common Stock
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued the following shares of Common Stock:
· | 600,000 shares for settlement under the patent license agreement, with value on the date of grant of $240,000; |

· | 600,000 shares for settlement of $312,000 of accrued liabilities; |
· | 2,000,000 shares in connection with a settlement agreement. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted Class D warrants for the purchase of 1,584,159 shares of Common Stock and Class E warrants for the purchase of 415,841 shares of Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the holders of these warrants to resolve claims of the holders regarding their conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. Under the settlement agreement, the holders exchanged the Class D and Class E warrants for 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and the warrants were cancelled. The Company recognized $500,000 of expense due to the conversion during the quarter ended March 31, 2012; and |
· | 2,310,000 shares from conversion of a related party short term note payable in the amount of $92,400. |
During June 2011, the Company entered into a service contract with its former Chief Executive Officer for services to be rendered from October 2010 through September 2014. As part of this service contract, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock with a fair value on the date of grant of $1,840,000, as payment for past and future services. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company accelerated the vesting of the shares and recognized the residual compensation expense of $1,380,000 related to the issuance of these shares.
During 2010, the Company awarded certain employees restricted stock grants totaling 679,000 shares, valued at $916,650, or $1.35 per share, in connection with their employment agreements. During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company reduced the non-vested stock by 42,000 shares due to the change of employment status of several individuals. During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized $117,187 of compensation expense due to the grant. As of June 30, 2012, the unrecognized stock-based compensation was $284,713 and will be recognized over the remaining estimated lives of the performance measures. The weighted average remaining term of the grant is 2 years.
13. Stock Options and 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 nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized non-cash expense of $2,076,709 and $187,966, respectively, related to the vesting and re-pricing of all stock options and warrants granted in current and prior years.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted the following stock purchase warrants:
15
· | Warrants for the purchase of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer at an exercise price of $0.44 per share with total fair market value on the date of grant of $822,218. The fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions: exercise price of the warrants at $0.44; risk free interest rate of 0.40%; expected life of 2.5 years; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 130.61%; and market price on date of grant of $0.40. 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. These warrants vested over three years and were exercisable through October 3, 2016. The executive resigned from the Company in March 2012. A total of 1,252,871 warrants vested before his resignation and the Company recognized $343,378 as compensation expense related to the grant. |
· | Warrants for the purchase of 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company’s former Chairman of the Board of Directors at $0.40 per share, with fair market value on the date of grant of $1,007,564. The warrants vested immediately and are exercisable through October 3, 2016. The fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions: exercise price of the warrants at $0.40; risk free interest rate of 0.40%; expected life of 2.5 years; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 130.61%; and market price on date of grant of $0.40. 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. |
· | Warrants for the purchase of 341,000 shares of Common Stock to an entity that is controlled by our new Chief Executive Officer, in connection with a loan agreement. The value of the warrants was $107,130 at the grant date. These warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.44 per share through November 3, 2016. The fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions: exercise price of the warrants at $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. The Company amortizes the expense over the life of the loan. The Company recognized $107,130 as a loan origination fee related to the grant of the warrants. See note 9 for details. |
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company re-priced previously granted warrants as follows:
· | Board of Directors – warrants for the purchase of 320,000 shares of Common Stock were re-priced from an original exercise price of $1.25 per share to $0.50 per share, resulting in additional compensation expense of $3,297. |
· | Transfer – warrants for the purchase of 750,000 shares of Common Stock were transferred by an executive officer to members of the Company’s Board of Directors; as a result, the Company revalued these warrants and incurred additional compensation expense of $21,765. |
During June 2011, the Company entered into a service contract with its former Chief Executive Officer for services to be rendered from October 2010 through September 2014. As payment for past and future services under this service contract, the Company granted warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, with a fair value on the date of grant of $791,434.

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 nine months ended June 30, 2012, the Company accelerated the vesting of the warrants and recognized the residual compensation expense of $593,576 related to the issuance of these warrants.

Rent expense related to the CareCenter and office facility leases was approximately $37,415 and $41,329 including base real property taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, this expense was $109,212 and $99,529, respectively.
16. Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value (see Note 1). The Company measured the fair values using the hierarchy level as follows:
Level 1 | The Company does not have any fair value balances classified as Level 1. |
Level 2 | The Company’s embedded derivative is measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. |
Level 3 | The Company’s goodwill is measured using Level 3 inputs (see note 4). |
The Company’s embedded derivative liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. See Notes 10 and 13 above for more information about this liability and the inputs used for calculating fair value.
17. Subsequent Event

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. These 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 primarily 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 March 8, 2012, we acquired 4G Biometrics, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“4G”). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we acquired 100 percent of the member interests of 4G and 4G will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As amended, the purchase price for the member interests of 4G was comprised as follows:
· | $350,000 in cash (as of the date of this report, we have paid $200,000 and the balance owed is $150,000); |
· | $50,000 of liabilities payable in cash; |
· | 160,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock; |
· | Options for the purchase of up to 4,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $0.10 per share to each of the three sellers, exercisable once 4G has 4,300 members, as follows: |
o | Options for 433,333 shares vest when an additional 5,000 4G members as added, or a total of 9,300 members; |
o | Options for 433,333 shares vest when an additional 5,000 4G members are added, or a total of 14,300 members; and |
o | Options for 433,333 shares vest when an additional 5,000 4G members are added, or a total of 19,300 members; and |
o | so forth until fully vested. |
Three of the 4G key managers will continue to manage the operations of 4G under written employment agreements. In addition, on October 1, 2012, one of the key managers will be appointed to serve as a member of our Board of Directors if 4G has sales of at least $1,000,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2012.
20
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price will be allocated to 4G’s intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill.
As of June 30, 2012, the purchase price for 4G reflects a total consideration transferred of $590,000, which has been preliminarily allocated as $479,305 of goodwill and $110,695 of acquired customer contracts.
Marketing and Market
We market our products through a number of distribution channels including to self-insured employers, direct-to-consumer, medical device and equipment distributors, and health care providers and other caregivers.
Self-Insured Companies
As a result of the acquisition of 4G, we expanded our fundamental business to include the monitoring of the well being of the rapidly growing number of diabetics in this country. This business meshes well with our broader view towards furthering the improved health of the total population.
Our strategy is to develop a relationship with third party administrators (TPAs). TPAs administer the claims, payments, co-pays, and medical coding for self-insured companies. They effectively act as the medical benefits administrators for their customers, most of which are not large enough to justify a fully operational in-house department. Our strategy is achieved by demonstrating to the TPA the benefits to be realized by all parties. We work with a TPA and each of their customers and generate reports regarding claims history and expenses. The report illustrates how much the insurer can save by taking actions that will result in compliance by following the recommended protocols. The key to savings is the CareCenter which operates 24/7 and is integral to chronic illness monitoring. The CareCenter is the real-time recipient of the test results. The patients that are not testing are identified by our CareCenter and this information is passed on to the TPA and the insurer. In addition, the plan includes direct distribution of diabetic supplies under the 4G Diabetic Wellness Program at costs no more than the customers are currently spending on their diabetic supplies. Our ultimate objective is to become a chronic illness monitor for the TPA’s customers, measuring not only blood sugar for diabetics, but also blood pressure, weight and blood oxygen.
Direct-to-Consumer
We sell our products and services directly to consumers 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 customer. 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.
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.
21
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we spent approximately $112,807, compared to $273,611 during the same period in 2011, 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.
CareCenter
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 and the chronically ill 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 our customers in maintaining 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 customers no matter where they may be. Additionally, the CareCenter monitors the chronically ill with a variety of other products.
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.
Chronic Illness Monitoring
Chronic illness monitoring is creating algorithms and software to help individuals with one or more chronic illnesses manage their disease in real time. The CareCenter will assist the individual by alerting them when predefined protocols and specifications are not within established limits and criteria.
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+™.
22
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 chronic illness monitoring 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.
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.
23
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. CareServices inventory consist of ActiveHome inventories. Chronic Illness Monitoring inventory consist of diabetic supplies. 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 nine 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 CareServices; (ii) sales of medical diagnostic stains from our Stains and Reagents segment; (iii) sales of Chronic Illness Monitoring services and supplies.
CareServices
“CareServices” include contracts in which we provides monitoring services to end users and sells devices to distributors. We typically enter into contracts on a month-to-month basis with customers (members) that use our CareServices. However, these contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days notice. Under our standard contract, the device becomes billable on the date the customer (member) orders the product, and remains billable until the device is returned to us. We recognize revenue on devices at the end of each month that CareServices have been provided. In those circumstances in which we receive payment in advance, the Company records these payments as deferred revenue.
We recognize CareServices 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 our products by phone or website. All CareServices 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, we note 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 CareServices revenue line, the vast majority of sales are service revenue. Because equipment sales are not material to the financial statements, we disclose services and equipment sales as one line item.
24
Our revenue recognition policy for sales to distributors of CareServices 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. Our distributors are not required to maintain specified amounts of product on hand, and distributors are not required to make minimum purchases to maintain distributor status. Distributors have no stock rotation rights or additional rights of return. 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 our CareServices 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, we provide 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 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. We determined that these elements do have standalone value to distributors and that the delivery of undelivered items is probable and substantially within our control. Therefore, in accordance with accounting standards, we have 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.
We do not currently sell, nor do we intend to sell the ActiveOne™ device separately from the monthly monitoring service, therefore we are not able to determine vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price. We are 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. We are 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, we included the following cost components in our estimate: production costs, development costs, PTCRB certification costs, and estimated gross margin. In order to determine the best estimate of the monthly monitoring service, we included the following components in our estimate: monthly communication costs, monitoring labor costs, PSAP database and monthly maintenance costs, and estimated gross margin. We allocate 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.
Stains and Reagents
We recognize Stains and 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 diagnostic stain product lines by purchase order. We do not enter into long-term contracts for Stains and Reagents sales. Stains and Reagents sales were $135,636 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. All Stains and Reagents sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.
With respect to Stains and Reagents revenues, to qualify for the recognition of revenue under GAAP 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 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. |
25
· | 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. |
Our diagnostic stain products have not been modified significantly for several years. There is significant history on which to base our estimates of sales returns. These sales returns have been negligible.
We have 70 types of products based on the number of individual stock-keeping units (“SKUs”) in our inventory. Most of these 70 SKUs are for medical diagnostic stain inventory. For example, certain medical diagnostic stains are packaged in different sizes, and each packaged size (i.e. 16 oz., 32 oz., and 48 oz.) has a unique SKU in inventory. Accounting standards state that, “an enterprise shall report revenues from external customers for each product and service or each group of similar products and services unless it is impractical to do so.” The vast majority of our stains 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 Stains and Reagents sales to distributors is the same as the policy for sales to end-users.
A customer qualifies as a distributor by completing a distributor application and proving its sales tax status. Upon qualifying as a distributor, a customer receives a 35% discount from retail prices, and the distributor receives an additional 5% discount when product is purchased in case quantities. Our Stains and Reagents 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.
Chronic Illness Monitoring
We began sales through 4G upon our acquisition of the company in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. We recognize Chronic Illness Monitoring 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. The sale of the Chronic Illness Monitoring does not contain multiple deliverables.
We enter into agreements with self-insured companies (“Customers”) to lower medical expenses by distributing diabetic testing supplies to their employees (members) and monitoring their test results. The Customers are obligated to pay for the supplies that we distribute to the members on a quarterly basis. The term of these contracts is one year and unless terminated by either party, will automatically renew for another year.
The Chronic Illness Monitoring segment sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $230,625. All of our Chronic Illness Monitoring sales are made with net 30-day payment terms.
With respect to Chronic Illness Monitoring revenues, to qualify for the recognition of revenue under GAAP at the time of sale, we note the following:
· | The price to the contracted Customer is fixed or determinable at the date of sale. |
· | The Customer has paid, or is obligated to pay us within 30 days. |
· | The Customer’s obligation to the Company would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product. |
· | Once the product is shipped out, the end user does not have the right of return. |

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Net Sales
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, we had net sales of $432,296, compared to $184,899 in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Chronic Illness Monitoring revenue accounted for $230,625 and $0, in the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The reason for the total revenue increase is due to increased sales of Stains and Reagents to distributors and the acquisition of the Chronic Illness Monitoring segment during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue totaled $428,632 in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $262,436 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $838,167, compared to $2,681,098 in the same period one year ago.

Other expenses were $0 and $50,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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.
At June 30, 2012, we had cash of $76,916, compared to cash of $178,131 at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $1,148,916, compared to a working capital deficit of $4,858,133 at June 30, 2012. The decrease of cash was due to negative cash flow from operating activities during the nine months June 30, 2012, compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The increase of capital deficit was due to increased liabilities during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, operating activities used cash of $1,928,486 and $2,285,505, respectively. The decreased cash used in operating activities was due to stretching out payment schedule of accounts payable during the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. Investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, used cash of $207,729 and $333,977, respectively. The decreased use of cash in investing activities was due to the addition of fixed assets and leased equipment during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. Financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, provided cash of $2,035,000 and $1,224,002, respectively. The increase was due to the short-term loans secured during the nine months ended June 30, 2012.
28
For the nine months ended June 30, 2012, we had a net loss of $8,410,162 and negative cash flows from operating activities totaling $1,928,486, compared to a net loss of $6,245,208 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $2,285,505 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net loss and decrease of cash flow deficit from operating activities was due primarily to the higher non-cash compensation expenses incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2012.
As of June 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $33,387,279 compared to $24,936,275 at September 30, 2011. Stockholders’ deficit at June 30, 2012 was $3,262,811, compared to stockholder’s deficit of $541,388 at September 30, 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, for the reasons discussed below.
During the audit process for the year ended September 30, 2011, we identified material weaknesses weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as follows:
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, as well as the accounting and disclosure of the acquisition of 4G Biometrics, LLC.
Management has not made any correcting changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the above material weaknesses remain at June 30, 2012.
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:
29
(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.
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.
