NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of SecureAlert, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SecureAlert”) has been prepared in accordance with the Instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2013, and results of its operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. On February 28, 2013, the shareholders of the Company approved a reduction in the authorized share capital of the Company to 15,000,000 shares of common stock, and a reverse split reducing the outstanding shares of the Company. Share and per share information for the period covered by this report and for prior periods has been retroactively adjusted in this report to reflect the effects of a 200 for 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock effective as of March 25, 2013.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which will depend considerably on the ability of the Company to retain and extend existing contracts with its customers. Management’s plan with respect to this uncertainty includes expanding the market for its ReliAlert™ portfolio of products and services and extending the terms to existing contracts. There can be no assurance that revenues will continue or increase in order to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the Company’s obligations. If the Company is unable to supplement its cash flows from operating activities, the Company may be required to obtain additional funding, and if it is unable to do so, the Company may have to cease operations.
(3) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SecureAlert and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(4) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies, which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
(5) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable and in the case of goodwill, at least annually. The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment as of each balance sheet date. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there is an identifiable fair value that is independent of other groups of assets. The Company recorded $450,000 and $0 of impairment expenses related to monitoring equipment for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(6) REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s revenue has historically been from two sources: (i) monitoring services; and (ii) product sales.
Monitoring Services
Monitoring services include two components: (a) lease contracts in which the Company provides monitoring services and lease devices to distributors or end users and the Company retains ownership of the leased device; and (b) monitoring services purchased by distributors or end users who have previously purchased monitoring devices and opt to use the Company’s monitoring services.
The Company typically leases its devices under one-year contracts with customers that opt to use the Company’s monitoring services. However, these contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days notice. Under the Company’s standard leasing contract, the leased device becomes billable on the date of activation or 7 to 21 days from the date the device is assigned to the lessee, and remains billable until the device is returned to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on leased devices at the end of each month that monitoring services have been provided. In those circumstances in which the Company receives payment in advance, the Company records these payments as deferred revenue.
Product Sales
The Company may sell its monitoring devices in certain situations to its customers. In addition, the Company may sell equipment in connection with the building out and setting up of a monitoring center on behalf of its customers. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer and the customer cannot return the devices or equipment, prices are fixed or determinable (including sales not being made outside the normal payment terms) and collection is reasonably assured. When purchasing products (such as TrackerPAL® and ReliAlert™ devices) from the Company, customers may, but are not required to, enter into monitoring service contracts with the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on monitoring services for customers that have previously purchased devices at the end of each month that monitoring services have been provided.
The Company sells and installs standalone tracking systems that do not require ongoing monitoring by the Company. The Company has experience in component installation costs and direct labor hours related to this type of sale and can typically reasonably estimate costs, therefore the Company recognizes revenue over the period in which the installation services are performed using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for material installations. The Company typically uses labor hours or costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total estimated labor hours or costs to fulfill the contract as the most reliable and meaningful measure that is available for determining a project’s progress toward completion. The Company evaluates its estimated labor hours and costs and determines the estimated gross profit or loss on each installation for each reporting period. If it is determined that total cost estimates are likely to exceed revenues, the Company accrues the estimated losses immediately.
Multiple Element Arrangements
The majority of the Company’s revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. However, on occasion, the Company enters into revenue transactions that have multiple elements. These may include different combinations of products or monitoring services that are included in a single billable rate. These products or monitoring services are delivered over time as the customer utilizes the Company's services. For revenue arrangements that have multiple elements, the Company considers whether the delivered devices have standalone value to the customer, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered monitoring services, which is generally determined by surveying the price of competitors’ comparable monitoring services, and the customer does not have a general right of return. Based on these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of devices separately from the monitoring services provided to the customer as the products or monitoring services are delivered.
Other Matters
The Company considers an arrangement with payment terms longer than the Company’s normal terms not to be fixed or determinable, and revenue is recognized when the fee becomes due. Normal payment terms for the sale of monitoring services and products are due upon receipt to 30 days. The Company sells its devices and services directly to end users and to distributors. Distributors do not have general rights of return. Also, distributors have no price protection or stock protection rights with respect to devices sold to them by the Company. Generally, title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon delivery of the devices.
The Company estimates its product returns based on historical experience and maintains an allowance for estimated returns, which is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable and revenue.
Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included as part of net revenues. The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of revenues.
(7) GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized revenues from international sources from its products and monitoring services. Revenues are attributed to the geographic areas based on the location of the customers purchasing and leasing the products and services. The revenues recognized by geographic area for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are as follows:

(8) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were 4,460,230 and 2,408,118 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. No reconciliation for discontinued operations was provided since the impact was immaterial. The common stock equivalents outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, consisted of the following:

(9) INVENTORY
Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Market is determined based on the estimated net realizable value, which generally is the item selling price. Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete or damaged items or impaired values.
Inventory consists of raw materials that are used in the manufacturing of TrackerPAL® and ReliAlert™ devices. Completed TrackerPAL® and ReliAlert™ devices are reflected in Monitoring Equipment. As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, inventory consisted of the following:

On February 1, 2013, the Company completed the redemption of the royalty with Borinquen which was funded under a Loan and Security Agreement from Sapinda Asia Limited (“Sapinda Asia”), see Note 15. The Company capitalized the total cost of the royalty purchase commitment of $11,616,984, as a non-current asset and will amortize the asset over the remaining term of the royalty agreement, subject to periodic analysis for impairment based on future expected revenues. The Company will annually calculate the amortization based on the effective royalty rate and on the revenues in the geographic territory subject to the royalty. The Company’s analysis will be based on such factors as historical revenue and expected revenue growth in the territory.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a balance of $11,616,984 of intangible assets, as noted in the table above. The Company recorded $157,697 and $515,676 of amortization expense on intangible assets for ISS during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, resulting in a total accumulated amortization of $515,676 and net other intangible assets of $11,101,308.

(15) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company entered into certain transactions with related parties during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. These transactions consist mainly of financing transactions and consulting arrangements. Transactions with related parties are reviewed and approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors.
Royalty Agreement, Loan and Security Agreement and Revolving Loan
On August 4, 2011, with an effective date of July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Borinquen (see Note 12) to purchase ISS in consideration of 310,000 shares of our common stock, valued at the market price on the date of the Royalty Agreement at $16.40 per share, or $5,084,000, and the grant to Borinquen of the royalty in the amount of 20 percent of the Company’s net revenues from the sale or lease of monitoring devices and monitoring services within a territory comprised of South and Central America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal, for a term of 20 years (see Note 12). The royalty payments were due quarterly through June 30, 2031. In the event the Company failed to make the royalty payments, in cash or in shares of common stock, at its discretion, the royalty rate would increase to 50 percent in certain portions of the territory, and 30 percent in others.
On September 5, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to redeem the royalty with Borinquen. On December 3, 2012, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan”) with Sapinda Asia whereby Sapinda Asia agreed to loan to the Company $16,640,000 at a rate of 8 percent interest per annum. As a condition to the Loan, the Company appointed to the Board of Directors, Guy Dubois, a representative of Tetra House Pte.
The Loan contains the following covenants:
|
1)
|
SecureAlert shall provide to the director representing Tetra House Pte. a monthly cash flow report for each month throughout the term of this Loan showing the anticipated use of all loan proceeds and other cash outlays. After the conversion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and fees under the Loan into shares of SecureAlert’s Common Stock, Sapinda Asia shall have a right to require that all of the SecureAlert’s excess cash flow available after the payment of normal operating expenses and scheduled capital expenditures be applied to prepay the Loan without penalty.
|
|
2)
|
SecureAlert shall provide to the director representing Tetra House Pte. a rolling twelve (12) months profit and loss and cash flow projections.
|
|
3)
|
Each schedule and/or report required herein shall be updated monthly by SecureAlert and delivered to the director representing Tetra House Pte. no later than the twenty-fifth (25th) calendar day of each month.
|
|
4)
|
SecureAlert covenants and agrees that it shall not enter into any convertible loan agreement, debenture or other agreement providing for the issuance of new shares of SecureAlert's Common Stock at a price lower than the conversion price without the consent of Sapinda Asia.
|
Upon the occurrence of any one or more broken covenant outlined above or any other event of default, Sapinda Asia shall provide written notice of such event of default to SecureAlert who shall have thirty (30) days to cure such event(s) of default.
Sapinda Asia failed to timely fund under the terms of the Loan. Sapinda Asia incurred penalties of $5,000 per day, payable to the Company, until the Loan was fully funded. As of March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a receivable of $245,000 from Sapinda Asia for the incurred penalties pursuant to the Loan. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an acknowledgement and agreement with Sapinda Asia whereby the Company agreed to waive the penalties and any other “out of pocket” expenses owed by Sapinda Asia under the Loan and Sapinda Asia acknowledges that it is not owed an origination fee. Both Parties have also agreed to accelerate the conversion of the loan to reduce the accumulation of interest debt under the Loan. Sapinda Asia commits and is bound to convert all principal and accrued interest under the Loan into common stock of the Company no later than 15 calendar days following the effective date of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register such shares, which the Company has agreed to file in a timely manner.
On February 1, 2013, the Company, Sapinda Asia and Borinquen entered into a Settlement and Royalty and Share Buy Back to complete the repurchase of the royalty ($11,616,982) and to pay accrued royalty expenses ($1,383,018) for a total payment of $13,000,000. The Company borrowed a total of $16,700,000 from Sapinda Asia. Of the $16,700,000, the Company used $13,000,000 toward the redemption of the royalty and to pay off accrued royalty fees and $3,700,000 for operating capital. The Loan is due on August 14, 2014. As a condition to the Loan, Sapinda Asia required the Company to name a nominee from Tetra House Pte. Ltd. (Guy Dubois) to its Board of Directors and to conduct an exchange offer to retire the Series D Preferred Stock. As of March 1, 2013, both of these conditions were met. Sapinda Asia has the right to convert the Loan principal and accrued interest into common stock at a rate of $4.50 per share, beginning March 1, 2013. The Loan is secured by all of the intellectual property and other assets of the Company.
The Company capitalized the total cost of the royalty purchase commitment of $11,616,984, as a non-current asset and will amortize the asset over the remaining term of the royalty agreement, subject to periodic analysis for impairment based on future expected revenues. The Company will annually calculate the amortization based on the effective royalty rate and on the revenues in the geographic territory subject to the royalty. The Company’s analysis will be based on such factors as historical revenue and expected revenue growth in the territory. The Company recorded $515,676 of amortization expense during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, resulting in a net intangible asset of $11,101,308.
On February 1, 2013, SecureAlert entered into a revolving loan agreement with Sapinda Asia wherein the Company may borrow up to $1,200,000 at an interest rate of 3 percent per annum for unused funds and 10 percent per annum for borrowed funds. As of June 30, 2013, no advances have been made under this loan. The loan terminates on June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has accrued $14,795 in interest liability on this loan.
Related-Party Service Agreement
Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Paranet, LLC to provide the following primary services: 1) procurement of hardware and software necessary to ensure that the Company’s vital databases are available in the event of a disaster (backup and disaster recovery system) and 2) ensure the security of all data and the integrity of such data of the Company against all loss of data, misappropriation of data by Paranet, its employees and affiliates and shall guarantee the Company that no unauthorized person or entity shall gain access to such data, wherever such data is located.
The Company agreed to pay Paranet $4,500 per month for this service which can be terminated by either party for any reason upon ninety (90) days written notice by either party. The agreement is considered a related-party service agreement because a Company director and member of the Company’s executive committee is also the Chief Executive Officer of Paranet, LLC.

(16) PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation, without further shareholder approval, to designate and determine, in whole or in part, 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.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 27, 2011, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and increased the total designated shares of Series D Preferred stock from 70,000 to 85,000 shares. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not issue any Series D Preferred stock.
Dividends
The Series D Preferred stock is entitled to dividends at the rate equal to 8 percent per annum calculated on the purchase amount actually paid for the shares or amount of debt converted. The dividend is payable in cash or shares of common stock at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. If a dividend is paid in shares of common stock of the Company, the number of shares to be issued is based on the average per share market price of the common stock for the 14-day period immediately preceding the applicable accrual date (i.e., March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31, as the case may be). Dividends are payable quarterly, no later than 30 days following the end of the accrual period. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 181,033 shares of common stock to pay $1,654,673 of accrued dividends on the Series D Preferred stock earned. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company issued 799 shares of common stock to pay $9,325 of accrued dividends on Series D Preferred stock earned during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Convertibility
Each share of Series D Preferred stock may be converted into 30 shares of common stock, commencing after ninety days from the date of issue.
In February 2013, and as a condition to a loan agreement, the Company conducted an exchange offer (“Exchange Offer”) of Series D Preferred stock in order to simplify the capitalization structure. The Exchange Offer was conditioned upon at least 90 percent of the cumulative original issue price paid for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred stock. The shareholders were entitled to exchange their shares of Series D Preferred at a premium over the current conversion rate of 30 shares of common stock per Series D Preferred share as follows: 15 shares for each $1,000 of original price paid, 10 shares for each $676 of original price paid, and 8 shares for each $500 of original price paid. Under the Exchange Offer, 46,095 shares of Series D Preferred stock converted into 1,828,283 shares of common stock.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, a total of 48,295 shares of Series D Preferred stock (including shares exchanged for common stock in the Exchange Offer) were converted into 1,894,283 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, there were 468 and 48,763 Series D Preferred shares outstanding, respectively.
Voting Rights and Liquidation Preference
The holders of the Series D Preferred stock may vote their shares on an as-converted basis on any issue presented for a vote of the shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of certain transactions such as a merger or other business combination of the Company. For the periods ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, there were 468 and 48,763 shares of Series D Preferred stock outstanding with voting rights equivalent to 14,040 and 1,462,890 shares of common stock, respectively.
Additionally, the holders are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to their original investment amount. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company (including in connection with a permitted sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders, an amount per share equal to original issue price, as adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization and the like with respect to the Series D Preferred stock.
Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants
As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had warrants outstanding for the purchase of 5,400 shares of Series D Preferred stock at an exercise price of $16.67 per share. The warrants were issued in connection with a subscription to purchase Series D Preferred stock which expire beginning in November 2013 and ending July 2016.
(17) COMMON STOCK
Authorized Shares
The Company held an Annual Shareholders meeting on February 28, 2013, at which time the shareholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio of 200 for 1 and amended the total authorized shares of common stock to 15,000,000 shares. The effect of the reverse stock split has been reflected throughout these financial statements.
Common Stock Issuances
During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued the following shares of common stock: 1,894,283 from the exchange or conversion of 48,295 shares of Series D Preferred stock, 701,444 shares from the conversion of $3,156,493 of debt and accrued interest, 181,033 shares to pay $1,654,673 of accrued dividends on Series D Preferred stock, 16,266 shares for services valued at $71,979, 2,981 shares issued to pay accrued board of director fees valued at $37,500, and 3,805 shares for commissions valued at $34,245. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, the Company issued 799 shares of common stock as payment of dividends on Series D Preferred stock for the 3
rd
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.
(18) STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Incentive Plan
At the annual meeting of shareholders on December 21, 2011, the shareholders approved the 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which had previously been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company. The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and performance-based awards to employees and certain non-employees who have important relationships with the Company. A total of 90,000 shares are authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2012 Plan. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 0 and 30,000 options were issued under this 2012 Plan, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, 60,000 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2012 Plan.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company calculated compensation expense of $22,032 and $199,755, respectively, related to the vesting of stock options previously granted under Company stock incentive plans in prior years. Compensation expense associated with unvested stock options and warrants of $7,644 will be recognized over the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013.
All Options and Warrants
The fair value of each stock option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company granted warrants to purchase 129,649 and 54,500 shares of common stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company recorded $399,751 and $1,472,732 of expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the issuance, vesting and re-pricing of all stock options and warrants. As of June 30, 2013, $7,644 of compensation expense associated with unvested stock options and warrants issued previously to employees and $71,250 of expense associated with unvested warrants issued previously to board members will be recognized over the remaining fiscal year. The option and warrant grants for nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected life of stock options (warrants) represents the period of time that the stock options or warrants are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method allowed under GAAP. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company changed from a daily volatility calculation for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 to a weekly volatility for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related stock options (warrants). The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividends over the expected life of the stock options (warrants).

(20) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
Lazar Leybovich et al v. SecureAlert, Inc.
On March 29, 2012, Lazar Leybovich, Dovie Leybovich and Ben Leybovich filed a complaint in the 11th Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida alleging breach of contract with regard to certain stock redemption agreements with the Company. The complaint was subsequently withdrawn by the plaintiffs. An amended complaint was filed by the plaintiffs on November 15, 2012. The Company believes these allegations are inaccurate and intends to defend the case vigorously. The Company has not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation with outside legal counsel.
Camacho Melendez et al v. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and International Surveillance Services Corporation.
On April 24, 2012 the plaintiffs filed suit against the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and ISS, claiming negligence by ISS and the government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico resulting in the death of a woman. The complaint seeks damages of $2,110,000. The Company is in discussions with the government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to resolve this matter and to obtain a complete release of all claims; the Company expects to finalize this matter before the end of the fiscal year.
Integratechs v. SecureAlert, Inc.
On March 14, 2013, Integratechs, Inc., filed a suit in the Fourth Judicial District Court of Utah County, claiming the Company breached a contract for computer services and intentionally interfered with its economic relations.

Christopher P. Baker v. SecureAlert, Inc.
In February 2013, Mr. Baker filed suit against the Company in the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake County, State of Utah. Mr. Baker asserts that the Company breached a 2006 consulting agreement with him and claims damages of not less than $210,000.
