ALR TECHNOLOGIES
INC.
Up to 101,025,592
Shares of Common Stock
Issuable
Upon the Exercise of Rights to Subscribe for such Shares at $0.05 per Share
We
are distributing, at no charge to our stockholders (who
have not previously exercised such subscription rights), non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 101,025,592
(26,496,635 having been previously exercised) shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share. In the rights offering, you will
receive one (1) subscription right for each share of common stock you hold as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, December 11, 2020, the record
date of the rights offering.
Each whole subscription right
will entitle you to purchase one share of our common stock, which we refer to as the “basic subscription right,” at a subscription
price of $0.05 per share (a price that is an 24.2% discount to the closing price of our common stock of $0.066 as reported on the OTCQB
on the record date) subject to certain limitations. There is no over-subscription privilege: management may,
at its discretion, allocate unexercised subscription rights to non-shareholders within 150 days following the expiration date of
the offering. Subscription rights may only be exercised in whole numbers; we will not issue fractional shares and will round all of the
subscription rights down to the nearest whole number.
Our
Chairman Sidney Chan, who, together with his affiliates, owns an aggregate of 383,498,482 shares of our common stock, or approximately
71% of the shares outstanding, and our Directors Peter Stafford, Kenneth Robulak, Alfonso Salas, and Ronald Cheng, who collectively own
an aggregate of 4,473,538 shares of our common stock, or approximately 0.8% of the shares outstanding, have each agreed with us not to
exercise their respective basic subscription rights. None of basic subscription rights attached to the shares of common stock owned by
Mr. Chan or his affiliates are being registered pursuant to this offering, and may not, accordingly,
be allocated to any non- shareholder subscribers. The subscription rights attached to the 4,473,538 shares of common stock held by our
Directors are being registered pursuant to this offering, and will be available for allocation by management to non-shareholders within
150 days following the expiration date of the offering.
We
will not issue fractional shares. If the number of subscription
rights you receive would otherwise permit you to purchase a fraction of a share, the number of shares that you may purchase will be rounded
down to the nearest whole share.
The
subscription rights will expire if they are not exercised before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on, February 18, 2022. We
reserve the right to extend the expiration date one or more times. Our Board may
in its sole discretion cancel the rights offering at any time and for any reason. Our Board
is not making any recommendation regarding your exercise of the subscription rights. You should
carefully consider whether to exercise your subscription rights before the expiration of the rights offering.
All
exercises of subscription rights are irrevocable. If our Board cancels this offering, the subscription agent will return all subscription
payments it has received for the cancelled rights offering without interest or penalty. The subscription agent will hold the funds we
receive from subscribers until completion or cancellation of the rights offering. The subscription rights may not be sold, transferred
or assigned. There is no minimum subscription amount required for consummation of the rights offering. Our common stock is quoted on
the OTCQB electronic quotation service operated by OTC Markets Group under the symbol “ALRT.”
The shares of common stock issued in the rights offering will also be quoted on the OTCQB under the same symbol. The subscription
rights will not be listed for trading on the NASDAQ or on any other stock exchange or market. On December 11, 2020, the closing price
for our common stock, as quoted on the OTCQB, was $0.066 per share. As of the close of business on December 11, 2020, there were 511,020,709
shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and as at the date of this prospectus 542,716,344 shares of common stock were issued and
outstanding.
Investing
in our common stock involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 to read about factors you should
consider before exercising your subscription rights.
This
is not an underwritten offering. The subscription rights are being offered directly by us without the services of an underwriter or selling
agent.
Upon
completion of the rights offering, stockholders who do not fully exercise their subscription rights will own a smaller proportional interest
in the Company than if they had timely and fully exercised their subscription rights.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed
upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is January 18, 2022.

You
should rely only on the information contained
in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different

CAUTIONARY NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus includes “forward-looking statements”, as such term is used within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements” are not based on historical fact and involve assessments of certain
risks, developments, and uncertainties in our business looking to the future. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the
use of terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “anticipate”,
“estimate”, “intend”, “continue”, or “believe”, or the negatives or other variations
of these terms or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements may include projections, forecasts, or estimates of future performance
and developments. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based upon assumptions and assessments that we believe
to be reasonable as of the date of this prospectus. Whether those assumptions and assessments will be realized will be determined by
future factors, developments, and events, which are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control. Actual results, factors, developments,
and events may differ materially from those we assumed and assessed. Risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and developments, including
those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K,
subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), incorporated by reference herein, could cause
our future operating results to differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. There can be no assurance that
any such forward-looking statement, projection, forecast or estimate contained can be realized or that actual returns, results, or business
prospects will not differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation
to update any such factors or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein
to reflect future results, events or developments.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
RELATING TO THE RIGHTS OFFERING
The
following are examples of what we anticipate will be common questions about the rights offering.
The answers are based on selected information included elsewhere in this prospectus. The
following questions and answers do not contain all of the information that may be important to you and may not address all of the questions
that you may have about the rights offering. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain more detailed descriptions
of the terms and conditions of the rights offering and provide additional information about us and about our business, including potential
risks related to the rights offering, our common stock, and our business.
Exercising
the subscription rights and investing in our securities involve a high degree of risk. We urge
you to carefully read the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of this prospectus and all other information
included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus in its entirety before you decide whether to exercise your subscription
rights.
What is the rights offering?
We
are distributing to holders of shares of our common
stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 11, 2020, which is the record date for the rights offering, at no charge the remaining,
non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock. Unless such right has been previously exercised, you
will receive 1 subscription right for each share of common stock you owned as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the record date.
Each whole subscription right entitles the holder to a basic subscription right, which is described below.
The common stock to be issued in the rights offering, like our existing shares of common stock, will be quoted on the OTCQB electronic
quotation service under the symbol “ALRT”
Why are we conducting the rights offering?
We
are conducting the rights offering to provide for our
general working capital needs. For a detailed discussion, see “Use of Proceeds.”
Based
on the information and analyses regarding the rights offering prepared by management, and the recommendation of
management that the rights offering is in the best interests of the Company in light of the information available to management,
and the additional information and documentation reviewed by our Board of Directors (our “Board”), our Board approved the
rights offering and determined that the rights offering is in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders. However, our Board is not making any recommendation regarding your exercise of the subscription rights.
How was the subscription price determined?
The
Board has determined the subscription price based on a variety of factors, including historical and current trading prices for our common
stock, recent share based transactions involving our affiliates, the price of most recently issued outstanding stock options held by
our affiliates, general business conditions, our need for capital, alternatives available to us for raising capital, potential market
conditions, and our desire to provide an opportunity to our stockholders to participate in the rights offering on a pro rata basis. In
particular, our board determined the subscription price based our September 21, 2020 issuance of 240,000,000 common shares to our affiliates,
Mr. Sidney Chan and Ms. Christine Kan, at a price of $0.05 per share to retire outstanding
debt in the aggregate amount of $12,000,000. In conjunction with its review of these factors, the Board also reviewed our history and
prospects, including our past and present earnings, our prospects for future earnings, and the outlook for our industry, and our current
financial condition.
The
subscription price is not necessarily related to our book value, tangible book value, multiple of earnings or any other established
criteria of value and may or may not be considered the fair value of our common stock to be offered in the rights offering. You should
not consider the subscription price as an indication of value of the Company or our common stock. You should
not assume or expect that, after the rights offering, our shares of common stock will trade at or above the subscription price in
any given time period. The market price of our common stock may decline during or after the rights offering and you may not be able
to sell the shares of our common stock purchased during the rights offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription
price. You should obtain a current quote for our common stock before
exercising your subscription rights and make your own assessment of our business and financial condition, our prospects for the future,
and the terms of the rights offering.
What is the basic subscription right?
Each
basic subscription right gives our stockholders the opportunity to purchase one share of our common stock at a subscription price of
$0.05 per share a price that is equal to a 24.2% discount to the closing price of our common stock (as reported on the OTCQB on the record
date of December 11, 2020), subject to the limits described below. We
have granted to you, as a stockholder of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the record date, one subscription right for
each share of our common stock you owned at that time. For example, if you owned 100 shares of our common stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern
Time, on the record date, you would have received 100 subscription rights and would have the right to purchase one hundred shares of
common stock for $0.05 per share subject to certain limitations. You may exercise all or
a portion of your unexercised basic subscription rights or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights at all. Subscription
rights may only be exercised in whole numbers; we will not issue fractional shares and will round all of the subscription rights down
to the nearest whole number.
If
you hold an ALRT stock certificate, the number of basic subscription rights you may exercise
is indicated on the enclosed rights certificate. If you hold your shares in the name of
a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, you will not receive a rights certificate. Instead, the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
will issue one subscription right to the nominee record holder for each share of our common stock that you own at the record date. If
you are not contacted by your custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, you should contact your nominee as soon as possible.
Is there an over-subscription privilege?
No.
We do not expect all of our stockholders to exercise all of such stockholder’s basic
subscription rights. To the extent that our stockholders do not exercise their basic subscription
rights, management may, at its discretion and within 150 days following the expiration date
of the offering, allocate any or all of those unexercised subscription rights to non-shareholders of the Company.
If I am a holder of stock options,
may I participate in the rights offering?
No.
Holders of stock options on the record date will not be entitled to participate in the rights offering, except to the extent they hold
shares of our common stock on the record date. Following the consummation of the rights offering, the Company anticipates making an equitable
adjustment to unexercised stock options to reflect the issuance of shares in the rights offering.
Am I required to exercise all of the
subscription rights I receive in the rights offering?
No.
You may exercise any number of your subscription rights, or you may choose not to exercise
any subscription rights. If you do not exercise any subscription rights, the number of shares of our common stock you own will not change;
however, you will own a smaller proportional interest in the Company than if you had timely exercised all or a portion of your subscription
rights. If you choose not to exercise your subscription rights or if you exercise fewer than all of your subscription rights and other
stockholders fully exercise their subscription rights or exercise a greater proportion of their subscription rights than you exercise,
or if management places unexercised subscription rights with non-shareholder purchasers, the percentage of our common stock owned by
these other stockholders will increase relative to your ownership percentage, and your voting and other rights in the Company will likewise
be diluted.
How soon must I act to exercise my
subscription rights?
If
you received a rights certificate and elect to exercise any or all of your subscription rights, the subscription agent must receive your
completed and signed rights certificate and payment (and your payment must clear) prior to the expiration of the rights offering,
which is February 18, 2022, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, unless you have used the guaranteed delivery procedures described under “The
Rights Offering—Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.” If you hold your shares in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or
other nominee, your nominee may establish a deadline prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022 by which you must provide
it with your instructions to exercise your subscription
rights and payment for your shares. Our Board may, in its discretion, extend the rights offering
one or more times. Our Board may cancel or amend the rights offering at any time before its expiration. In the event that the rights
offering is cancelled, all subscription payments received will be returned promptly, without interest or penalty.
Although
we will make reasonable attempts to provide this prospectus to holders of subscription rights, the rights offering and all
subscription rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022 (unless extended), whether or not we have been
able to locate each person entitled to subscription rights.
May I transfer my subscription rights?
No.
You may not sell, transfer or assign your subscription rights to anyone. Subscription rights will not be listed for trading on the OTCQB
or on any stock exchange or market. Rights certificates may only be completed by the stockholder who receives them.
Are we requiring a minimum subscription
to complete the rights offering?
There is no aggregate
minimum we must receive to complete the rights offering.
Has our Board made a recommendation
to our stockholders regarding the rights offering?
No.
Our Board is not making a recommendation regarding your exercise of the subscription rights. Stockholders who exercise subscription rights
risk investment loss on new money invested. We cannot predict the price at which our shares
of common stock will trade, and therefore, we cannot assure you that the market price for our common stock will be above the subscription
price or that anyone purchasing shares at the subscription price will be able to sell those shares in the future at the same price or
a higher price. You are urged to make your decision based on your own assessment of our
business and the rights offering. Please see “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and all other information included
in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus for a discussion of some of the risks involved in investing in our common stock.
How do I exercise my subscription rights
if I own shares in certificate form?
If you hold an ALRT
stock certificate and you wish to participate in the rights offering, you must take the following steps:
|
●
|
deliver a properly completed and signed rights certificate,
and related subscription documents, to the subscription agent before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022; and
|
|
●
|
deliver payment to the subscription agent (as described
below) before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022.
|
In certain cases, you may be required
to provide additional documentation or signature guarantees.
Please
follow the delivery instructions on the rights certificate. Do not deliver documents to the Company. You
are solely responsible for completing delivery to the subscription agent of your subscription documents, rights certificate and
payment. We urge you to allow sufficient time for delivery of your subscription materials
to the subscription agent so that the subscription agent receives the materials before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022.
If
you cannot deliver your rights certificate to the subscription agent prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering, you may follow the
guaranteed delivery procedures described under “The Rights Offering—Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.”
If
you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares you requested, or if the number of shares you requested is not
specified in the forms, the payment received will be applied to exercise your subscription rights to the fullest
extent possible based on the amount of the payment received, subject to the availability of shares in the rights offering and the elimination
of fractional shares. Any excess subscription payments received by the subscription agent will be returned promptly, without interest,
following the expiration of the rights offering.
What form of payment
is required to purchase the shares of our common stock?
As
described in the instructions accompanying the rights certificate, payments submitted to the subscription agent must be made in full
United States currency by personal check payable to Pacific Stock Transfer fbo ALR Technologies Inc., the subscription agent, drawn upon
a United States or Canadian bank.
Payment
will be deemed to have been received by the subscription agent only upon the subscription agent’s receipt of a personal check,
receipt and clearance of such check.
Please
note that funds paid by uncertified personal check may take at least seven business days to clear. Accordingly, if you wish to pay by
means of an uncertified personal check, we urge you to make payment sufficiently in advance of the expiration date to ensure that the
subscription agent receives cleared funds before that time.
What
should I do if I want to participate in the rights offering, but my shares are held in the name of a custodian bank, broker,
dealer or other nominee?
If
you hold your shares of common stock through a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, then your nominee is the record holder
of the shares you own. If you are not contacted by your nominee, you should contact your nominee as soon as possible. Your
nominee must exercise the subscription rights on your behalf for the shares of common stock you wish to purchase. You
will not receive a rights certificate. Please follow the instructions of your nominee. Your
nominee may establish a deadline that may be before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022, the expiration date for the
rights offering.
When will I receive
my new shares?
All
shares that you purchase in the rights offering to which you are entitled will be issued in book-entry, or uncertificated, form. When
issued, the shares will be registered in the name of the subscription rights holder of record. As soon as practicable after the expiration
of the rights offering period, the subscription agent will arrange for the issuance of the shares of common stock purchased in the rights
offering. Subject to state securities laws and regulations, we have the discretion to delay distribution of any shares you may have elected
to purchase by exercise of your rights in order to comply with state securities laws.
After I send in
my payment and rights certificate, may I cancel my exercise of subscription rights?
No.
All exercises of subscription rights are irrevocable unless the rights offering is terminated, even if the market price of our common
stock falls below the $0.05 per share subscription price or you later learn information about us or the rights offering that you consider
to be unfavorable to the exercise of your subscription rights. You should not exercise your
subscription rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase shares of our common stock in the rights offering.
Have any stockholders
agreed to exercise their rights?
No.
Our Chairman Sidney Chan, who, together with his affiliates, owns an aggregate of 383,498,482 shares of our common stock, or approximately
71% of the shares outstanding, and our Directors Peter Stafford, Kenneth Robulak, Alfonso Salas, and Ronald Cheng, who collectively owns
an aggregate of 4,473,538 shares of our common stock, or approximately 0.8% of the shares outstanding, have each agreed not to exercise
their respective basic subscription rights. None of the basic 383,498,482 subscription rights attached to the shares of common stock
owned by Mr. Chan or his affiliates are being registered pursuant to this offering. Mr.
Chan and his affiliates elected not to participate in this offering owing to their agreement on September 21, 2020 to accept 240,000,000
of our common shares at a price of $0.05 per share in consideration for the retirement of
an aggregate amount of $12,000,000 payable to them by the Company. The subscription rights attached to the 4,473,538 shares of common
stock held by our Directors are being
registered pursuant to this offering, and will be available for purchase to non-shareholders at the discretion of management within 150
days following the expiration date of the offering.
Will our directors
and officers participate in the rights offering?
No.
Our Chairman Sidney Chan, who, together with his affiliates, owns an aggregate of 383,498,482 shares of our common stock, or approximately
71% of the shares outstanding, and our Directors Peter Stafford, Kenneth Robulak, Alfonso Salas, and Ronald Cheng, who collectively owns
an aggregate of 4,473,538 shares of our common stock, or approximately 0.8% of the shares outstanding, have each agreed not to exercise
their respective basic subscription rights. None of the basic 383,498,482 subscription rights attached to the shares of common stock
owned by Mr. Chan or his affiliates are being registered pursuant to this offering. Mr.
Chan and his affiliates elected not to participate in this offering owing to their agreement on September 21, 2020 to accept 240,000,000
of our common shares at a price of $0.05 per share in consideration for the retirement of
an aggregate amount of $12,000,000 payable to them by the Company. The subscription rights attached to the 4,473,538 shares of common
stock held by our Directors are being registered pursuant to this offering, and will be available for purchase to non-shareholders at
the discretion of management within 150 days following the expiration date of the offering.
Will the equity
awards of our employees, officers and directors automatically convert into common stock in connection with the rights offering?
Holders
of our equity awards to employees, officers and directors, including outstanding stock options, will not receive rights in the rights
offering in connection with such equity awards.
How will the rights
offering affect our outstanding common stock?
As
of December 11, 2020, and the date hereof, we had 511,020,709 shares and 542,716,344 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding
respectively. Assuming no additional shares of common stock are issued by the Company prior to consummation of the rights offering and
assuming all offered shares are sold in the rights offering, we expect approximately 643,741,936 shares of our common stock will be outstanding
immediately after completion of the rights offering.
The
issuance of shares of our common stock in the rights offering will dilute, and thereby reduce, your proportionate ownership in our shares
of common stock, unless you fully exercise your basic subscription rights. In addition, the issuance of shares of our common stock at
a subscription price that is less than the market price as of the record date for the rights offering will likely reduce the price
per share of our common stock held by you prior to the rights offering.
How much will
we receive in net proceeds from the rights offering?
We
expect the aggregate proceeds, net of expenses, from
the rights offering will be approximately $5,000,000 million, assuming all remaining rights
are exercised. We intend to use the net proceeds to provide for our general working capital
needs. Please see “Use of Proceeds.”
Are there risks
in exercising my subscription rights?
Yes.
The exercise of your subscription rights involves risks.
Exercising your subscription rights involves the purchase of additional shares of our common stock and should be considered as carefully
as you would consider any other equity investment. Among other things, you should carefully consider the risks described under the heading
“Risk Factors” in this prospectus and all other information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.
If the rights
offering is not completed, will my subscription payment be refunded to me?
Yes.
The subscription agent will hold all funds it receives
in a segregated bank account until the rights offering is completed. If the rights offering is not completed, all subscription payments
received by the subscription agent will be returned promptly, without interest or penalty. If your shares are held in the name of a custodian
bank, broker, dealer or other nominee,
it may take longer for you to receive the refund of your subscription payment than if you were a record holder of your shares because
the subscription agent will return payments through the record holder of your shares.
Will I receive
interest on any funds I deposit with the subscription agent?
No.
You will not be entitled to any interest on any funds that are deposited with the subscription
agent pending completion or cancellation of the rights offering. If the rights offering is
cancelled for any reason, the subscription agent will return this money to subscribers, without interest or penalty, as soon as practicable.
When can I sell
the shares of common stock I receive upon exercise of the subscription rights?
If
you exercise your subscription rights, you will be able to resell the shares of common stock purchased by exercising your subscription
rights once your account has been credited with those shares, provided you are not otherwise restricted from selling the shares (for
example, because you are an insider or affiliate of the Company or because you possess material nonpublic information about the Company).
Although we will endeavor to issue the shares as soon as practicable after completion of the rights offering, there may be a delay between
the expiration date of the rights offering and the time that the shares are issued due to factors such as the guaranteed delivery period
and the time required to complete all necessary calculations. In addition, we cannot assure you that, following the exercise of your
subscription rights, you will be able to sell the shares purchased in the rights offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription
price.
What are the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of exercising my subscription rights?
The
receipt and exercise of subscription rights by holders of shares of our common stock should generally not be taxable for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. You should seek specific tax advice from your tax advisor
in light of your particular circumstances and as to the applicability and effect of any other tax laws. See “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences.”
What fees or charges
apply if I purchase shares of common stock in the rights offering?
We
are not charging any fee or sales commission to issue
subscription rights to you or to issue shares to you if you exercise your subscription rights (other than the subscription price). If
you exercise your subscription rights through a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, you are responsible for paying any fees
your nominee may charge you.
Whom should I
contact if I have other questions?
If
you have other questions regarding the rights offering, please contact the information agent, Pacific Stock Transfer by email at info@pacificstocktransfer.com,
by phone at 702-361-3033, or by mail at 6725 Via Austi Pkwy, Suite 300, Las Vegas, NV 89119.
To whom should
I send my forms and payment?
If
your shares are held in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, then you should send your subscription documents

SUMMARY
Our Company
ALRT
is a data management company that developed the ALRT Diabetes Solution, a comprehensive approach to diabetes care that includes: an FDA-cleared
and HIPAA compliant diabetes management system that collects data directly from blood glucose meters and continuous glucose monitoring
devices; a patent pending Predictive A1C algorithm to track treatment success between lab reports and an FDA-cleared Insulin Dosing Adjustment
program.
ALRT
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp.
In April 1998, the Company changed its business purpose to marketing a pharmaceutical compliance device.
In
December 1998, the common shares of the Company began trading on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities
Dealers Inc. under the symbol “MBET.” On December 28, 1998, the Company changed
its name from Mo Betta Corp. to ALR Technologies Inc. Subsequently the symbol was changed to “ALRT.”
During
2011, the Company received FDA clearance and achieved HIPAA compliance for its Diabetes Solution.
With these key achievements and successful clinical trials completed, the Company began implementing
its commercialization strategy which included a pilot program with patients in Kansas in 2014. The Company obtained significant findings
from this pilot program which led to the development of its Insulin Dosage Adjustment, for which it received FDA clearance in 2017, and
Predictive A1C, for which it has submitted for worldwide patent application under the patent cooperation treaty to the World
Intellectual Property Organization. The Company is actively seeking to commence revenue generating activities.
In
2020, the Company i) entered in an agreement with Bionime Corporation (Bionime) whereby the Company will bundle its Diabetes Solution
Application with Bionime blood glucose meters and diabetes test supplies and sell the bundle to diabetes patients of private medical
clinics in Singapore, ii) initiated a clinic pilot with Singapore General Hospital to prove the
efficacy of the ALRT Diabetes Solution in insulin-treated diabetes patients, iii) entered into a memorandum of understanding to
form a collaboration with Diabetes Singapore with the view of raising the diabetes management standard in Singapore and iv) advanced
its Diabetes Solution to integrate with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices.
In
2021 i) the Company announced it had advanced its Diabetes Solution for animal health purposes under the brand name “GluCurve”
and ii) the Company announced its intent to redomicile to Singapore.
ALRT
believes that the current trend in diabetes care is shifting from the use of traditional blood glucose meters to diabetes care management
using CGM and that CGM will become the future standard of diabetes care. ALRT believes it is uniquely positioned to bundle it Diabetes
Solution application with CGM to improve health outcomes globally at a price point that is reasonable for wide scale adoption. Accordingly,
while the Company remains committed to its goal of redomiciling to Singapore, it has also focused its resources on seeking opportunities
in the ASEAN (Association of South East Asia Nations) area too secure supply of CGM through one or more strategic transactions. At present
ALRT does not expect to complete its redomiciling transaction until it has identified a suitable strategic CGM transaction which ALRT
regards as critical to its successful commercial launch for both human and animal health. No assurance can be given as to the timing
or successful completion of such a strategic transaction, or any related redomiciling, occurring.
On
December 7, 2021 the Company entered into Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Infinovo Medical Co. Ltd. (“Infinovo”)
to assess how the parties can work towards entering into a global supply agreement for the Infinovo CGM
for use by ALRT in the animal health sector. Founded in 2016, Infinovo is a medical technology company, focusing on developing an accurate
and affordable CGM for patients which will be available for both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics. Under the terms of the MOU, ALR Technologies
and Infinovo will collaborate to integrate Infinovo’s CGM with ALRT’s proprietary GluCurve platform. The Company expects
to begin testing the GluCurve Pet CGM utilizing the Infinovo CGM in veterinary clinics in late by early January 2022. The testing is
expected to complete by the end of February 2022. If the results of i) integration of the Infinovo CGM into the GluCurve platform and
ii) the results of testing the GluCurve platform utilizing the Infinovo are both satisfactory, the parties will seek to negotiate a definitive
global supply agreement for the Infinovo CGM. No assurance can be given as to the timing of completion or the likelihood of success of
the integration or trials, or that if those are completed, that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement.
Our Products
ALRT
has developed its Diabetes Solution product by utilizing internet-based technologies to facilitate the health care provider’s ability
to monitor their diabetes patients’ health and ensure adherence to health maintenance activities.
The
ALRT Diabetes Solution is a remote monitoring and care facilitation platform that allows
patients to upload the blood glucose data from their blood glucose meters or CGM. The ALRT System
processes and converts each data set to a Predictive A1C value and shares it with the patient
and the patient’s physician. The Diabetes Solution provides a Predictive A1C measure to track
treatment success between lab reports and provides the physician with therapy advancement suggestions based on current clinical
practice guidelines. Patients receive therapy assessments and adjustments in much shorter cycles, keeping A1Cs at targeted levels, mitigating
diabetes complications and lowering costs of care.
The
Company has developed the GluCurve for animal health from the ALRT Diabetes Solution. The
GluCurve online portal automates and organizes data collected from the CGM (via iOS or Android app) making diabetic patient management
simple and easy for veterinarians. It reduces time spent calculating insulin dosing by automating the process with suggestions based
on best care guidelines, and it stores the 288 data points per day into 24 hour glucose curve graphs that can easily be overlaid and
compared. The Company is seeking
a strategic transaction to secure CGM supply to bundle the CGM as part of the GluCurve offering.
In
the future, the Company may seek to adapt its Diabetes Solution to be used in the management of other chronic diseases. The Company may
be required to obtain additional clearance from the FDA prior to commencing selling activities in the United States for other chronic
health conditions.

Risk
Factors

Exercising

information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus in its entirety before you decide whether to exercise
your subscription rights.

RISK FACTORS
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following
risk factors and the risks described below, and other information contained in our most
recent annual report on Form 10-K, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC pursuant to Section
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), incorporated by reference
herein, before making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware
of may become important factors that affect us. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating
results may suffer, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose
all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO THE RIGHTS OFFERING
The future price of our shares of
common stock may be less than the $0.05 per share subscription price in the rights offering.
If
you exercise your subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock in the rights offering, you may not be able to sell them later
at or above the $0.05 per share subscription price in the rights offering. The actual market price of our common stock could be subject
to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among other things,
our operating results and cash flow, business
conditions in our industry, the general state of the securities markets, as well as general economic and market conditions, such as downturns
in our economy and recessions.
You may be committed to buying common
stock at a price above the prevailing market price of our common stock.
Once
you exercise your subscription rights, you may not revoke them. If you exercise your subscription rights and, afterwards, the public
trading market price of our shares of common stock decreases below the subscription price, you will have committed to buying shares of
our common stock at a price above the prevailing market price and could have an immediate unrealized loss. Our common stock is
quoted on the OTCQB electronic quotation system under the ticker symbol “ALRT,”
and on December 10, 2020, the closing price for our common stock, as reported on the OTCQB, was $0.066 per share. We
cannot assure you that the market price of our shares of common stock will not decline after you exercise your subscription rights.
Moreover, we cannot assure you that following the exercise of your subscription rights you will be able to sell your shares of common
stock at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.
This offering may cause the market
price of our common stock to decrease.
The
subscription price, together with the number of shares of common stock we propose to issue and ultimately will issue in the rights offering,
may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our common stock. This decrease may continue throughout and after the completion
of the rights offering. If that occurs, you may have committed to buy common stock in the rights offering at a price greater than the
prevailing market price of our common stock. Further, if a substantial number of subscription rights are exercised and the subscribing
holders choose to sell some or all of the shares of common stock received upon exercise of those rights, the resulting sales could depress
the market price of our common stock. There is no assurance that following the rights offering you will be able to sell your shares of
common stock purchased in the rights offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.
The subscription price determined
by our Board is not an indication of the fair value of our common stock and does not represent the price at which a buyer can be found
for the shares now or in the future.
The
Board has determined the subscription price based on a variety of factors, including historical and current trading prices for our common
stock, recent share based transactions involving our affiliates, the price of most recently issued outstanding stock options held by
our affiliates, general business conditions, our need for capital, alternatives available to us for raising capital, potential market
conditions, and our desire to provide an opportunity to our stockholders to participate in the rights offering on a pro rata basis. In
conjunction with its review of these factors, the Board also reviewed
our history and prospects, including our past and present earnings, our prospects for future earnings, and the outlook for our industry,
and our current financial condition.
The
subscription price is not necessarily related to our book value, net worth or any other established criteria of value and may or may
not be considered the fair value of the common stock to be offered in the rights offering, nor is the subscription price necessarily
a reflection of the market price at which our common stock currently sells or may sell in the future. You
should not assume or expect that, after the rights offering, our common stock will trade at or above the subscription price. We
can give no assurance that our common stock will trade at or above the subscription price in any given time period.
Your percentage ownership in the
Company may be diluted as a result of the rights offering.
If
you do not exercise your subscription rights or you exercise fewer than all of your rights, and other stockholders fully exercise their
rights or exercise a greater proportion of their rights than you exercise, you will suffer dilution of your percentage ownership of our
common stock relative to such other stockholders. As of December 11, 2020, there were 511,020,709 shares of common stock outstanding
as of the date of this prospectus there were 542,716,344 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. If all of our stockholders exercise
the subscription rights being registered hereunder in full, or if any unsubscribed portion of the shares being registered hereunder are
sold to third parties, we will issue 101,025,592 (26,496,635 having been previously exercised) shares of common stock in the rights offering,
which represents approximately 15.69% of the 643,741,936 shares of common stock potentially outstanding upon the completion of the rights
offering, on a non-diluted basis, or 1.6% of the 6,140,743,436 shares of common stock potentially outstanding on a fully diluted basis
upon completion of the rights offering, and subject to the exercise of 5,497,001,500 stock options currently outstanding.
You may not revoke your exercise
of rights.
Once
you exercise your subscription rights, you may not revoke or change the exercise unless we are required by law to permit revocation.
Accordingly, if you exercise your subscription rights and the market price of our common stock falls below the $0.05 per share subscription
price or you later learn information about us or the rights offering that you consider unfavorable to the exercise of your subscription
rights, you will be committed to buying shares and may not revoke or change your exercise. The market price of our common stock may decline
prior to the expiration of this offering, and a subscribing rights holder may not be able to sell the shares of common stock purchased
in the rights offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price. Until shares of common stock are delivered upon expiration
of the rights offering, you will not be able to sell or transfer the common stock that you purchase in the rights offering.
Our Board may cancel the rights
offering at any time and for any reason prior to its expiration.
Our
Board may cancel the rights offering at any time and for any reason prior to its expiration. If our Board cancels the rights offering,
neither the Company nor the subscription agent will have any obligation to you with respect to the rights except to return any payment
received by the subscription agent, without interest or penalty.
The subscription rights are non-transferable,
and thus there will be no market for them.
You
may not sell, transfer or assign your subscription rights
to anyone else. We do not intend to list the subscription rights on any securities exchange
or any other trading market. Because the subscription rights are non-transferable, there is no market or other means for you to directly
realize any value associated with them.
If you do not act on a timely basis
and follow the subscription instructions, your exercise of subscription rights will be rejected.
Stockholders
who desire to purchase shares in the rights offering must act on a timely basis to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually
received by the subscription agent, and all payments clear, prior to the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the guaranteed
delivery procedures described under “The Rights Offering—Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.” If you are a beneficial
owner of shares, you must act promptly to ensure that your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee acts for you and that all
required forms and payments are actually received by the subscription
agent prior to the expiration of the rights offering. We are not responsible if your broker,
dealer, custodian bank or nominee fails to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the subscription agent,
and all payments clear, prior to the expiration of the rights offering.
If
you fail to complete and sign the required subscription forms, send an incorrect payment amount or otherwise fail to follow the
subscription procedures that apply to your exercise in the rights offering or your payment does not clear prior to the expiration
of the rights offering period, the subscription agent may, depending on the circumstances,
reject your subscription or accept it only to the extent of any payment that was timely received and cleared. Neither we, nor the subscription
agent, undertakes to contact you concerning, or attempt to correct, an incomplete or incorrect subscription form or payment, nor are
we under any obligation to correct such forms or payments. We have the sole discretion to
determine whether the exercise of your subscription rights properly and timely follows the subscription procedures.
By participating
in the rights offering and executing a rights certificate, you are making binding and enforceable representations to the Company.
By
signing the rights certificate and exercising their rights, each stockholder agrees, solely with respect to such stockholder’s
exercise of rights in the rights offering, that we have the right to void and cancel (and treat as if never exercised) any exercise of
rights, and shares issued pursuant to an exercise of rights, if any of the agreements, representations or warranties of a subscriber
in the subscription documents are false.
If you make
payment of the subscription price by uncertified check, your check may not clear in sufficient time to enable you to purchase common
stock in the rights offering.
Any
uncertified check used to pay for common stock to be issued in the rights offering must clear prior to expiration of the rights offering,
and the clearing process may require five or more business days. If you choose to exercise your subscription rights, in whole or in part,
and to pay the subscription price by uncertified check and your check has not cleared prior to expiration of the rights offering, you
will not have satisfied the conditions to exercise your subscription rights and will not
receive the common stock you wished to purchase.
You will not
be able to sell or transfer the shares of common stock that you purchase pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights immediately
upon expiration of the rights offering.
If
you exercise your subscription rights, you will not be able to sell or transfer the common stock purchased by exercising your subscription
rights until your account has been credited with those shares. Moreover, you will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the
shares purchased in the rights offering until we issue the shares to you. Although we will endeavor to issue the shares as soon as practicable
after expiration of the rights offering, including the guaranteed delivery period and after all necessary calculations have been completed,
there may be a delay between the expiration date of the rights offering and the time that the shares are issued. Fluctuations in the
market price of our common stock may occur between expiration of the rights offering and the time that shares are issued to you.
Because no
minimum subscription is required and because we do not have formal commitments from our stockholders for the entire amount we seek to
raise pursuant to the rights offering, we cannot assure you of the amount of proceeds that we will receive from the
rights offering.
No
minimum subscription is required for consummation of the rights offering. None of our affiliated stockholders will participate in the
offering. Furthermore, because we do not have commitments from our other stockholders for the remainder of the amount we seek to raise
pursuant to the rights offering, it is possible that no other rights will be exercised in connection with the rights offering. As a result,
we cannot assure you of the amount of proceeds that we will receive in the rights offering. Therefore, if you exercise all or any portion
of your subscription rights, but other stockholders do not, we may not raise the desired amount of capital in the rights offering, the
market price of our common stock could be adversely impacted and we may find it necessary to pursue alternative means of financing, which
may be dilutive to your investment.
We have broad discretion in the
use of proceeds of the rights offering.
We
are undertaking the rights offering in order to provide
for our general working capital needs. Our Board and management will have considerable discretion
in the application of the net proceeds from the rights offering, and it is possible that we may allocate the proceeds differently than
investors in the rights offering may desire or that we may fail to maximize the return on these proceeds. You
will be relying on the judgment of our Board and management with regard to the use of proceeds from the rights offering, and you
will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. For
more information, see “Use of Proceeds.”
RISKS RELATED
TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Although our
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, our management and independent auditors in their report accompanying
our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, believe that our recurring losses from operations and other
factors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2020.
Our
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. The going concern basis assumes that we will continue in operation for the next 12
months and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, thus our
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Our recurring losses, anticipated future losses, negative cash flow,
need for additional capital and the uncertainties surrounding our ability to raise such funding, raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. In order for us to continue operations beyond the next 12 months and be able to discharge
our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, we must complete the development and deployment of our product, and
sell our products directly to end-users, establish profitable operations through increased sales, decrease expenses, generate cash from
operation or raise additional funds when needed. We intend to improve our financial condition
and ultimately improve our financial results by increasing revenues through introduction of our product into new markets, continuing
to expand and develop our field sales force and distributor relationships both domestically and internationally, forming strategic arrangements
within the health & wellness and medical industries, educating medical professionals and patients as to the benefits of our diabetes
management services, and reducing expenses. If we are unable to increase sales, reduce expenses or raise sufficient additional capital
we may be unable to continue to fund our operations, develop our products, realize value from our assets, or discharge our liabilities
in the normal course of business. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we could have to liquidate our assets, and potentially
realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders could lose all or
part of their investment in our common stock.
We have experienced
net losses for each of the past three years, and we could experience additional losses and have difficulty achieving profitability in
the future.
We
had an accumulated deficit of $93,571,762 and $98,502,015
at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021, respectively. We recorded net losses of approximately
$5,916,017, $9,005,537, and $4,122,133 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $4,930,253 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2021. In order to achieve profitability, we must control our costs and increase net revenue through new sales.
Failure to increase our net revenue and decrease our costs could cause our stock price to decline and could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We
may be unable to maintain compliance with
OTCQB Standards for Continued Eligibility which could cause our common stock to be demoted from OTCQB. This could result in the lack
of a market for our common stock, cause a decrease in the value of an investment in us, and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our
common stock is currently quoted on OTCQB tier of the electronic quotation service operated by OTC Markets Group. To
maintain the listing of our common stock on OTCQB, we are required to meet certain listing requirements, including, among others
(i) have audited annual financials by a PCAOB auditor; (ii) meet minimum bid price test of $0.01; (iii) maintain SEC reporting standards
or equivalent alternative reporting standards; and (iv) not be in bankruptcy. If we fail to meet OTCQB Standards for Continued Eligibility,
the trading of the stock will most likely take place
on a lower tier of the over-the-counter market, such as the OTC Pink tier established for financial distressed companies or those in
bankruptcy. There is no assurance that we will meet the minimum Standards for Continued Eligibility. An investor is likely to find it
less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock
on the OTC Pink, and many investors may not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing OTC Pink, or over-the-counter
markets, generally, due to policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange, not maintaining SEC
reporting requirements, or other reasons.
Because the
SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in shares of penny stocks, some brokers may be
unwilling to trade our securities. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares, which may cause the value of
your investment to decline.
Our
shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
which imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers-dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket.
For sales of our securities, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination and receive a written agreement prior from
you to making a sale on your behalf. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional
sales practices, it is possible that broker-dealers will not want to make a market in our common stock. This could prevent you from reselling
your shares and may cause the value of your investment to decline.
We
could need to raise additional capital in the future, and if we are unable to secure adequate funds on terms acceptable
to us, we could be unable to execute our business plan.
To
remain competitive, we must continue to make significant
investments in the development of our product, in obtaining regulatory clearances to introduce our product into new markets, in the expansion
of our sales and marketing activities, and in the expansion of our operating and management infrastructure as we increase sales domestically
and internationally. If cash generated from our operations is insufficient to fund such growth, we could be required to raise additional
funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities in the public or private markets, or through a collaborative arrangement or sale
of assets. Additional financing opportunities may not be available to us, or if available, may not be on favorable terms. The availability
of financing opportunities will depend, in part, on market conditions, and the outlook for our business. Any future issuance of equity
securities or securities convertible into equity securities could result in substantial dilution to our stockholders, and the securities
issued in such a financing could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. In addition, if we raise
additional funds through debt financing, we could be subject to debt covenants that place limitations on our operations. We
could not be able to raise additional capital on reasonable terms, or at all, or we could use capital more rapidly than anticipated.
If we cannot raise the required capital when needed, we may not be able to satisfy the demands of existing and prospective customers,
we could lose revenue and market share and we may have to curtail our capital expenditures. The following factors, among others, could
affect our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, or at all:
●
our results of operations;
●
general economic conditions and conditions in the medical and health management industries;
●
the perception of our business in the capital markets;
●
our ratio of debt to equity;
●
our financial condition;
●
our business prospects; and
●
interest rates.
If
we are unable to obtain sufficient capital in the future, we could have to curtail our capital expenditures. Any curtailment of our
capital expenditures could result in a reduction in net revenue, reduced quality of our products, increased manufacturing
costs for our products, harm to our reputation, or reduced manufacturing efficiencies and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our success
depends, in part, on our relationships with, and the efforts of, third-party distributors.
We
will rely on a variety of third-party distributors,
such as independent health care organizations, medical suppliers, group purchasing organizations, pharmaceutical companies, insulin providers
and other health care companies to introduce the ALRT Diabetes Solution to their networks.
Such third parties have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources they apply to the marketing, sale and implementation
of our products, and we will face significant challenges and risks in expanding, training, and managing such third-party parties. Third
parties may not commit the necessary resources to market and sell our products to the level of our expectations, and,
regardless of the resources they commit, they may not be successful. From time to time, we may face competition or pricing pressure
from one or more of our non-exclusive distributors in certain geographic areas where those distributors are selling inventory to the
same customer base as us. Additionally, most distributor agreements may be terminated with limited notice, and we may not be able to
replace any terminating distributor in a timely manner or on terms agreeable to us, if at all. If we are not able to maintain our distribution
network, if our distribution network is not successful in marketing and selling our products, or if we experience a significant reduction
in, cancellation, or change in the size and timing of orders from our distributors, our revenues could decline significantly and could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our inability
to distinguish our Diabetes Solution from other diabetes treatment compliance devices or solutions could limit the market acceptance
of our products and our market share.
Our
Diabetes Solution represents a relatively new entry into the market for diabetes compliance solutions. Our future success will depend
on our ability to increase demand for our products by demonstrating to a broad spectrum of healthcare providers the potential performance
advantages and efficiencies of our Diabetes Solution over traditional methods of treatment management and over competitive management
solutions, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Historically, we have experienced long sales cycles because healthcare professionals have been, and could continue to be, slow to adopt
new technologies on a widespread basis. As a result, we generally are required to invest a significant amount of time and resources to
educate healthcare administrators and other purchasers about the benefits of our product in comparison to competing products and technologies
before completing a sale, if any.
Factors
that could inhibit adoption of our Diabetes Solution by healthcare professionals include concerns about the efficacy and reliability
of our product. In order to invest in our product, a healthcare administrator generally needs to invest time to understand the technology,
consider how physicians may respond to the new technology, assess the financial impact the investment could have on a medical practice
and become comfortable introducing and using our products. Absent an immediate competitive motivation, a healthcare administrator may
not feel compelled to invest the time required to learn about the potential benefits of using our product. Physicians may not accept
or adopt our products until they see additional clinical evidence supporting the safety and efficiency of our product, or recommendations
supporting our product by influential health care providers or practitioners. In addition, economic pressure, caused, for example, by
an economic slowdown, changes in health care reimbursement or by competitive factors in a specific market, could make healthcare organizations
reluctant to purchase substantial capital equipment or invest in new technologies. Physician acceptance will depend on the recommendations
of specialists, as well as other factors, including the relative effectiveness, reliability and efficiency of our systems as compared
to other in methods for managing diabetes treatment.
Any failure
in our efforts to train health practitioners could result in the misuse of our products, reduce the market acceptance of our products
and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There
is a learning process involved for health practitioners to become proficient users of our Diabetes Solution. It is critical to the success
of our sales efforts to adequately train a sufficient number of practitioners. Following completion of training, we rely on health practitioners
and administrators to advocate the benefits of our products in the broader marketplace. Convincing practitioners to dedicate the time
and energy necessary for adequate training and implementation is challenging, and we cannot provide assurance that we will be successful
in these efforts. If practitioners are
not properly trained, they could misuse or ineffectively use our Diabetes Solution, or could be less likely to appreciate our Diabetes
Solution. This could also result in unsatisfactory patient outcomes, negative publicity, FDA regulatory
action, or lawsuits against us, any of which could negatively affect our reputation and sales of our Diabetes Solution.
If future data
proves to be inconsistent with our clinical results or if competitors’ products present more favorable results our revenues could
decline and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
If
new studies or comparative studies generate results that are not as favorable as our clinical results, our revenues could decline. Additionally,
if future studies indicate that our competitors’ products are more effective or reliable than ours, our revenues could decline.
Furthermore, health professionals could choose not to purchase our Diabetes Solution until they receive additional published long-term
clinical evidence and recommendations from prominent health professionals that indicate our system is effective for clinical applications.
We face competition
from other companies, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do. If we do not successfully develop and commercialize
current and future products that remain competitive with products or alternative technologies developed by others, we could lose revenue
opportunities and customers and our ability to grow our business would be impaired.
A
number of competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger customer bases, larger technical, sales and marketing forces
and stronger reputations with target customers than ours. We compete with a number of domestic
and foreign companies that market diabetes treatment management products, such as hardware, software and testing supplies, as well as
companies that market integrated treatment solutions in the healthcare market. The marketplace is highly fragmented and very competitive.
We expect that the rapid technological changes occurring in the health care industry could
lead to the entry of new competitors, particularly if artificial intelligence driven software gains market acceptance in the field. If
we do not compete successfully, our revenue and market share could decline and our business, financial condition, and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
Our
long-term success depends upon our ability to (i) distinguish our products through improving our product performance and pricing, protecting
our intellectual property, improving our customer support, accurately timing the introduction of new products, and developing sustainable
distribution channels worldwide; and (ii) develop and successfully commercialize new products, new or improved technologies, and additional
applications for our Diabetes Solution. There is no assurance that we will be able to distinguish our Diabetes Solution, commercialize
any new products, new or improved technologies, or additional applications for our intellectual property.
If our customers cannot obtain third-party
reimbursement for their use of our products, they could be less inclined to purchase our products and our business, financial condition,
and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our
products are generally purchased by medical professionals who have various billing practices and patient mixes. Such practices range
from primarily private pay to those who rely heavily on third-party payers, such as private insurance or government programs. In the
United States, third-party payers review and frequently challenge the prices charged for medical products and/or services. In many foreign
countries, the prices for diabetes treatment services are predetermined through government regulation. Payers could deny coverage and
reimbursement on various grounds, including if they determine that the procedure was not medically necessary or that the device used
in the procedure was investigational. Accordingly, both coverage and reimbursement can vary significantly from payer to payer. For the
portion of physicians who rely heavily on third-party reimbursement, the inability to obtain reimbursement for services using our products
could deter them from purchasing or using our products. We cannot predict the effect that
future health care reforms or changes in financing for health plans could have on our business. Any such changes could have an adverse
effect on the ability of a physician or medical institution to generate a profit using our current or future products. In addition, such
changes could act as disincentives for capital investments by medical professionals.
We could incur problems in manufacturing
our products.
Our
products are manufactured by third party suppliers. In order to grow our business, we must expand our supply chain to meet any demand
we may experience. We could encounter difficulties in securing additional supply of our products,
including problems involving supplier production capacity and yields, quality control and assurance, component supply, and shortages
of qualified personnel. In addition, before we can scale up commercial manufacture of our products, we must ensure that our third-party
manufacturing facilities, processes, and quality systems, and the manufacture of our Diabetes Solution, comply with FDA regulations governing
facility compliance, quality control, and documentation policies and procedures. In addition, our supplier manufacturing facilities are
subject to periodic inspections by the FDA, as well as various state agencies and foreign regulatory agencies. From time to time, we
could experience significant supply delays while our suppliers ensure compliance with these requirements. Our success will depend in
part upon our ability to supply our products in compliance with the FDA’s QSR and
other regulatory requirements. Although we have not experienced quality issues with components of our products supplied by third parties,
we expect to encounter periodic quality control issues. Our future success depends on our ability to supply products on a timely basis
with acceptable purchase costs, while at the same time ensuring good quality control and complying with applicable regulatory requirements,
and an inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Product liability claims against
us could be costly and could harm our reputation.
The
sale of medical devices involves the risk of product liability claims against us. Claims could exceed our then current product liability
insurance coverage limits. Our insurance policies will be subject to various standard coverage exclusions, including damage to the product
itself, losses from recall of our product, and losses covered by other forms of insurance such as workers compensation. We
cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully defend any claims against us, nor can we be certain that our insurance
will cover all liabilities resulting from such claims. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain such insurance
in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, any product liability claim brought against
us could result in harm to our reputation, decreased demand for our products, costs related to litigation, product recalls, loss of revenue,
an increase in our product liability insurance rates, or the inability to secure coverage in the future, and could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Rapidly changing standards and competing
technologies could harm demand for our products, result in significant additional costs, and
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The
markets in which our products compete are subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changes in the
regulatory environment, and frequent introductions of new devices and evolving techniques in diabetes treatment and patient management.
Competing products could emerge that render our products uncompetitive or obsolete. The process of developing new medical devices is
inherently complex and requires regulatory approvals or clearances that can be expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain. We
cannot guarantee that we will successfully identify new product opportunities, identify new and innovative applications of our
technology, or be financially or otherwise capable of completing the research and development required to bring new products to market
in a timely manner. An inability to expand our product offerings or the application of our technology could limit our growth. In addition,
we could incur higher manufacturing costs if manufacturing processes or standards change, and we could need to replace, modify, design,
or build and install equipment, all of which would require additional capital expenditures.
We
could be unable to effectively manage
and implement our growth strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations
Our
growth strategy includes expanding the market for our Diabetes Solution, and developing new applications and enhancements for our
product, ie. Expansion of our existing market, product line and entry into new medical applications divert the use of our resources
and systems, require additional resources that might not be available (or available on acceptable terms), require additional
country-specific regulatory approvals, result in new or increasing competition, could require longer implementation times or greater
start-up expenditures than anticipated, and could otherwise fail to achieve the desired results in a timely fashion, if at all.
These efforts could also require that we successfully commercialize
new technologies in a timely manner, price them competitively and cost-effectively, and manufacture and deliver sufficient volumes of
new products of appropriate quality on time. We could be unable to increase our sales and
earnings by expanding our product offerings in a cost-effective manner, and we could fail to accurately predict future customer needs
and preferences or to produce viable technologies. In addition, we could invest heavily in research and development of products that
do not lead to significant revenue. Even if we successfully innovate and develop new products and product enhancements, we could incur
substantial costs in doing so. In addition, promising new products could fail to reach the market or realize only limited commercial
success because of efficacy or safety concerns, failure to achieve positive clinical outcomes, or uncertainty over third-party reimbursement.
We
could be subject to breaches of our information
technology systems, which could damage our reputation and customer relationships. Such breaches could subject us to significant reputational,
financial, legal, and operational consequences.
We will rely on information systems (“IS”)
in our business to obtain, rapidly process, analyze and manage data to, among other things:
●
facilitate the purchase and distribution of thousands of inventory items through numerous distributors;
●
receive, process and ship orders on a timely basis;
●
accurately bill and collect from thousands of customers;
●
process payments to suppliers; and
●
provide technical support to our customers.
A cyber-attack that
bypasses our IS security, or employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions that cause an IS security breach could lead to a material
disruption of our IS and/or the loss of business information. Such an attack could result in, among other things:
●
the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation or release of confidential data and intellectual property;
●
operational or business delays;
●
liability for a breach of personal financial and health information belonging to our customers and their patients or to our employees;
and
●
damage to our reputation
any of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In the event of an attack, we would be
exposed to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, including under laws that protect the privacy of personal information.
Litigation
against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
and results of operations.
We
expect to be involved from time to time involved in
various claims, litigation matters and regulatory proceedings incidental to our business, including claims for damages arising out of
the use of our products or services and claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, commercial disputes, competition,
sales and trading practices, environmental matters, personal injury, and insurance coverage. Some of these lawsuits include claims for
punitive as well as compensatory damages. The defense of these lawsuits could divert our management’s attention, and we could incur
significant expenses in defending these lawsuits. In addition, we could be required to pay damage awards or settlements or become subject
to unfavorable equitable remedies. Moreover, any insurance or indemnification rights that we could have may be insufficient or unavailable
to protect us against potential loss exposures.
If we lose
our key management personnel, or are unable to attract or retain qualified personnel, it could adversely affect our ability to execute
our growth strategy.
Our
success is dependent, in part, upon our ability to hire and retain management, engineers, marketing and sales personnel, technical, research
and other personnel who are in high demand and are often subject to competing employment opportunities. Our success will depend on our
ability to retain our current management, engineers, marketing and sales, technical, research and other personnel and to attract and
retain qualified like personnel in the future. Competition for senior management, engineers, marketing and sales personnel, and other
specialized technicians is intense and we may not be able to retain our personnel. If we lose the services of any executive officers,
key contractors or key employees, our ability to achieve our business objectives could be
harmed and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In general, our officers
could terminate their employment at any time without notice for any reason.
If we fail
to comply with the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we fail to maintain adequate
internal control over financial reporting, our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and investors’ confidence
in us, could be materially and adversely affected.
As
a public company, we are required to comply with the periodic reporting obligations of the Exchange Act, including preparing annual reports,
quarterly reports, and current reports. Our failure to prepare and disclose this information in a timely manner and meet our reporting
obligations in their entirety could subject us to penalties under federal securities laws, expose us to lawsuits, and restrict our ability
to access financing on favorable terms, or at all.
In addition,
pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to evaluate and provide a management report of our systems of internal
control over financial reporting. During the course of the evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, we could identify
areas requiring improvement and could be required to design enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this
review. This could result in significant delays and costs to us and require us to divert substantial resources, including management
time, from other activities. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we may
not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are
important to help prevent fraud. Any failure to maintain compliance with the requirements of Section 404 on a timely basis could result
in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could, negatively impact the trading
price of our stock, and adversely affect investors’ confidence in the Company and our ability to access capital markets for financing.
If we complete
re-domestication to Singapore, we will no longer be required to file quarterly financial statements that have been reviewed by our independent
auditors on Forms 10-Q, as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
If
we change our corporate jurisdiction to Singapore, we will still have to comply with reporting requirements under United States securities
laws. However, these requirements could be reduced because we will no longer be incorporated in a state of the United States.
We
currently prepare our financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).
We file our audited annual financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with our annual reports on Form 10-K and
we file our unaudited interim financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Upon completion of re-domestication to Singapore, we anticipate that we will meet the definition of a “foreign private issuer”
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a foreign private issuer, we anticipate that we will be eligible to file our
annual reports each year with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. As a foreign private issuer filing annual reports
on Form 20F, we would not be required to file quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q.
If we complete
re-domestication to Singapore, insiders of our company will no longer be required to file insider reports under Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and they will no longer be subject to the “short swing profit rule” of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As
a foreign private issuer, our directors, officers and stockholders owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock will be subject
to the insider filing requirements imposed by another jurisdictions securities laws but they will be exempt from the insider requirements
imposed by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such securities laws may not impose on insiders any equivalent of the “short
swing profit rule” imposed by Section 16 and, after completion of re-domestication to Singapore, our insiders will not be subject
to liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions, or a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase,
of our equity securities within less than six months. As a result, our stockholders may not enjoy the same degree of protection against
insider trading as they would under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Your rights
as a stockholder of our company will change as a result of re-domestication to Singapore.
Because
of the differences between Nevada law and Singapore, your rights as a stockholder will change if the re-domestication to Singapore is
completed. Any registration statement or proxy statement in regards to the re-domestication will include a detailed discussion of these
differences.
RISKS RELATED
TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
If the patents
that we own or license, or our other intellectual property rights, do not adequately protect our technologies, we could lose market share
to our competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably.
Our
future success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our products and technology, to preserve
our trade secrets and to operate without infringing the intellectual property of others. We rely
on patents to establish and maintain proprietary rights in our technology and products. We currently
possess a number of issued patents and patent applications with respect to our products and technology. However, we cannot ensure that
any additional patents will be issued, that the scope of any patent protection will be effective in helping us address our competition,
or that any of our patents will be held valid if subsequently challenged. It is also possible that our competitors could independently
develop similar or more desirable products, duplicate our products, or design products that circumvent our patents. The laws of foreign
countries may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as the
laws of the United States. In addition, there have been recent changes in the patent laws and rules of the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (the “USPTO”), and there could be future proposed changes that, if enacted, have a significant impact on our
ability to protect our technology and enforce our intellectual property rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights
adequately, our competitive position could be adversely affected, and there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
If third parties
claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights, we could incur liabilities and costs and have to redesign or discontinue selling
certain products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We
face substantial uncertainty regarding the impact that
other parties’ intellectual property positions will have on systems for diabetes treatment monitoring. The medical technology industry
has in the past been characterized by a substantial amount of litigation and related administrative proceedings regarding patents and
intellectual property rights. From time to time, we expect to receive, notices of claims of infringement, misappropriation, or misuse
of other parties’ proprietary rights. Some of these claims could lead to litigation. We may
not prevail in any future intellectual property infringement litigation given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties
in litigation. Any claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and distracting to management, result in costly litigation,
or cause product shipment delays. Adverse determinations in litigation could subject us to significant liability and could result in
the loss of proprietary rights. A successful lawsuit against us could also force us to cease selling or redesign products that incorporate
the infringed intellectual property. Additionally, we could be required to seek a license from the holder of the intellectual property
to use the infringed technology, and it is possible that we may not be able to obtain a
license on acceptable terms, or at all.
RISKS RELATED
TO OUR REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Changes in
government regulation or the inability to obtain or maintain necessary government approvals could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
products are subject to extensive government regulation, both in the United States and in other countries. To
clinically test, manufacture, and market products for human use, we must comply with regulations and safety standards set by the
FDA and comparable state and foreign agencies. Regulations adopted by the FDA are wide-ranging and govern, among other things, product
design, development, manufacture and control testing, labeling control, storage, advertising, and sales. Generally, products must meet
regulatory standards as safe and effective for their intended use before being marketed for human applications. The clearance process
is expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements of the FDA can result in an enforcement
action which could include a variety of sanctions, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of our products,
operating restrictions, partial suspension, or total shutdown of production and criminal prosecution. The failure to receive or maintain
requisite approvals for the use of our products or processes, or significant delays in obtaining such approvals, could prevent us from
developing, manufacturing, and marketing products and services necessary for us to remain competitive.
If
we develop new products and applications or make any significant modifications to our existing products or labeling, we will need to
obtain additional regulatory clearances or approvals. Any modification that could significantly affect a product’s safety or effectiveness,
or that would constitute a change in its intended use, will require a new FDA 510(k) clearance, or could require a Premarket approval
(PMA) application. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the FDA can review any such decision
and can disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, the FDA can
require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or Premarket approval (PMA) is obtained.
If 510(k) clearance is denied and a Premarket approval (PMA) application is required, we could be required to submit substantially more
data and conduct human clinical testing and would very likely be subject to a significantly
longer review period.
Products
sold in international markets are also subject to the regulatory requirements of each respective country or region. The regulations of
the European Union require that a device have a CE Mark, indicating conformance with European Union laws and
regulations before it can be sold in the European Union. The regulatory international review process varies from country to country.
We expect to rely on our compliance consultants in any foreign countries in which we may
market our products to comply with the regulatory laws of such countries. Failure to comply with the laws of such countries could prevent
us from selling products in such countries. In addition, unanticipated changes in existing regulatory requirements or the adoption of
new requirements could impose significant costs and burdens on us, which could increase our operating expenses.
Changes
in health care regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could adversely affect the demand for our products as well as the way in which we
conduct our business. For example, in 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law,
which included various reforms impacting Medicare coverage and reimbursement, including revision to prospective payment systems,
any of which could adversely impact any Medicare reimbursements received by our end-user
customers. New legislation may be enacted as the President and Congress consider further reform. In addition, as a result of the focus
on health care reform, there is risk that Congress could implement changes in laws and regulations governing health care service providers,
including measures to control costs, and reductions in reimbursement levels. We cannot be
sure that government or private third-party payers will cover and reimburse the treatments using our products, in whole or in part, in
the future, or that payment rates will be adequate. If healthcare providers cannot obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement for our
products, or the procedures in which they are used, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could suffer.
We could be subject to or otherwise
affected by federal and state health care laws, including fraud and abuse and health information privacy and security laws, and we could
face substantial penalties if we are unable to fully comply with such regulations.
We
are directly or indirectly, through our customers, subject
to extensive regulation by both the federal government and the states and foreign countries in which we conduct our business. The laws
that directly or indirectly affect our ability to operate our business include, but are not limited to, the following:
●
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which regulates the design, testing, manufacture, labeling, marketing, distribution, and sale
of prescription drugs and medical devices;
●
state food and drug laws;
●
the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving, or providing
remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce the referral for the furnishing of, or the purchase, order, or recommendation of, a good
or service, for which payment could be made under FHCPs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE;
●
state law equivalents to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which may not be limited to government reimbursed items;
●
state laws that prohibit fee-splitting arrangements;
●
the federal Civil False Claims Act, which imposes liability on any person or entity that knowingly presents, or causes to be
presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment to the government, including FHCPs;
●
state false claims laws that prohibit anyone from presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment to third-party payers that
are false or fraudulent;
●
federal crimes for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program or making false
statements in connection with the delivery of or payment for items or services under a health care benefit program;
●
federal law prohibiting offering remuneration to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary to influence the beneficiary’s selection of
a particular provider, practitioner, or supplier;
●
the federal Stark Law, which, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory exception, prohibits:
(i) the referral of Medicare or Medicaid patients by a physician to an entity for the provision
of designated health care services, if the physician or a member of the physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial
relationship, including an ownership interest in, or a compensation arrangement with, the entity and (ii) submitting a bill to Medicare
or Medicaid for services rendered pursuant to a prohibited referral;
●
state law equivalents to the Stark Law, which may not be limited to government reimbursed
items;
●
the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires us to report annually to CMS certain payments and other transfers of value we make
to U.S.-licensed physicians, dentists, and teaching hospitals;
●
the FCPA, which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from paying anything
of value to foreign officials to influence any decision of the foreign official in his/her official capacity or to secure any other improper
advantage to obtain or retain business;
●
HIPAA and HITECH and their implementing regulations, which govern the use, disclosure, and
safeguarding of PHI;
●
state privacy laws that protect the confidentiality of patient information;
●
Medicare and Medicaid laws and regulations that prescribe the requirements for coverage and payment, including the amount of such payment;
state laws that prohibit the practice of medicine by non-physicians; and
●
the Federal Trade Commission Act and similar laws regulating advertising and consumer protection.
If
our past, present, or future operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or the other governmental laws
or regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we could be subject to the applicable penalty associated with the violation,
which could include civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from FHCPs,
and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. If we are required to obtain permits or license under these laws that we do not
already possess, we could become subject to substantial additional regulation or incur significant expense. Any penalties, damages, fines,
or curtailment or restructuring of our operations could be significant. The risk of potential non-compliance is increased by the fact
that many of these laws have not been fully interpreted by applicable regulatory authorities
or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations and additional legal or regulatory change. Any action against
us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert
our management’s attention from the operation of our business, damage our reputation, and cause a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Product sales
or introductions could be delayed or canceled as a result of the FDA regulatory requirements applicable to diabetes testing products,
treatment management systems, or both, which could cause our sales or profitability to decline and have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The
process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals and clearances to market a medical device from the FDA and similar regulatory
authorities abroad can be costly and time-consuming, and we cannot provide assurance that such approvals and clearances will be granted.
Pursuant to FDA regulations, unless exempt, the FDA permits commercial distribution of a new medical device only after the device has
received 510(k) clearance or is the subject of an approved Premarket approval (PMA). The FDA will clear marketing of a medical device
through the 510(k) process if it is demonstrated that the new product is substantially equivalent to other 510(k)-cleared products. The
pre-market approval process is more costly, lengthy and uncertain than the 510(k) process, and must be supported by extensive data, including
data from preclinical studies, and human clinical trials. Because we cannot provide assurance that any new products, or any product enhancements,
that we develop will be subject to the shorter 510(k) clearance process, significant delays in the introduction of any new products or
product enhancement could occur. We cannot provide assurance that the FDA will not require
a new product or product enhancement to go through the lengthy and expensive PMA process. Delays in obtaining regulatory clearances and
approvals could:
●
delay or eliminate commercialization of products we develop;
●
require us to perform costly procedures;
●
diminish any competitive advantages that we may attain; and
●
reduce our ability to collect revenues or royalties.
Although
we have obtained 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market our Diabetes Solution, we cannot provide assurance that the clearance of these
systems will not be withdrawn or that we will not be required to obtain new clearances or approvals for modifications or improvements
to our products.
Our products
are subject to recalls and other regulatory actions after receiving FDA clearance or approval.
The
FDA and similar governmental bodies in other countries have the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material
deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. A government mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of component
failures, manufacturing errors, or design defects, including defects in labeling. Any recall would divert management’s attention
and financial resources and harm our reputation with customers. Any recall involving our Diabetes Solution would be particularly harmful
to us, because our Diabetes Solution is our sole product. However, any recall could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED
TO OUR STOCK
The liquidity
and trading volume of our common stock could be low, and our ownership is concentrated.
The
liquidity and trading volume of our common stock has at times been low in the past and could again be low in the future. If the liquidity
and trading volume of our common stock is low, this could adversely impact the trading price
of our shares, our ability to issue stock and our stockholders’ ability to obtain liquidity in their shares. In addition, our Chairman
and sole executive officer Sidney Chan and his affiliates own in excess of 71% of outstanding common stock as at the date of this Registration
Statement.
As
a result, Mr. Chan and his affiliates will be able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant
influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control.
In particular, this concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control
of our company or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in
turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also
prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of
this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. The concentration
of ownership also contributes to the low trading volume and volatility of our common stock.
Our stock price has been, and could
continue to be, volatile.
There
has been significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of equity securities, which is often unrelated to the
financial performance of the companies issuing the securities. These broad market fluctuations could negatively affect the market
price of our stock. The market price and volume of our common stock could fluctuate, and in the past has fluctuated, more dramatically
than the stock market in general. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above
the price you paid for them due to fluctuations in the market price of our stock caused by changes in our operating performance or prospects
or other factors. Some factors, in addition to the other risk factors identified above, that could have a significant effect on our stock
market price include but are not limited to the following:
●
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or future prospects;
●
our announcements or our competitors’ announcements of new products;
●
the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements, and our filings with the SEC;
●
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
●
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
●
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles;
●
changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
●
developments regarding our patents or proprietary rights or those of our competitors;
●
our inability to raise additional capital as needed;
●
concerns or allegations as to the safety or efficacy of our products;
●
changes in financial markets or general economic conditions;
●
sales of stock by us or members of our management team, our Board, our significant stockholders, or certain institutional stockholders;
and
●
changes in stock market analyst recommendations or earnings estimates regarding our stock, other comparable companies or our industry
generally.
You could experience substantial
dilution of your investment as a result of subsequent exercises of our outstanding options, vesting of restricted stock units, future
sales of our equity, or the future grant of equity by us.
You
could experience substantial dilution of your investment
as a result of subsequent exercises of outstanding warrants and outstanding options issued as compensation for services performed by
employees, directors, consultants, and others, future sales of our equity, or the grant of future equity-based awards. As of December
11, 2020, an aggregate of 5,362,701,500 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock
options having a weighted-average exercise price of $0.005 per share (5,497,001,500 as of December 13, 2021 with a weighted average exercise
price of $0.005 per share). To the extent that outstanding options are exercised, our existing
stockholders will experience dilution. We rely heavily on equity awards to motivate current
contractors and employees and to attract new employees. The grant of future equity awards by us to our contractors, employees and other
service providers could further dilute our stockholders’ interests in the Company.
Anti-takeover provisions in our
charter, bylaws, other agreements, and under Nevada law could discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of the Company.
Provisions
in our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could discourage, delay,
or prevent a merger or acquisition involving us that our stockholders may consider favorable. These provisions include but are
not limited to the right of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval,
no stockholder ability to fill director vacancies, elimination of the rights of our stockholders
to act by written consent and call special stockholder meetings, super-majority vote requirements for certain amendments to our certificate
of incorporation and stockholder proposals for amendments to our bylaws, prohibition against stockholders from removing directors other
than “for cause” and rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder
meetings.
We
are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions of
the Nevada Revised Statues. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into
a “business combination” with that person for two years without special approval, which could discourage a third-party from
making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of us. An “interested stockholder” generally means
(subject to certain exceptions as described in the Nevada General Corporation Law) someone owning voting
stock of our Company and who is an officer, director, or employee of our Company during the past two years, or who is an acquiring
person in a contemplated transaction.
Because we do not intend to pay
dividends, our stockholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.
We
intend to retain our future earnings, if any,
to finance the expansion of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the
success of an investment in our common stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation. There is no guarantee that our common
stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders purchased their shares.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Although
we cannot determine what the actual net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock in the rights offering will be until the
rights offering is completed, assuming all remaining subscription rights are exercised, we estimate that the aggregate net proceeds from
the rights offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $5,000,000. We
intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the rights offering to provide for
our general working capital needs.
The precise amount and timing
of the application of such proceeds will depend upon our funding requirements and the availability and cost of other funds. Our Board
and management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds from the rights offering, and it is possible that
we may allocate the proceeds differently than investors in the rights offering may desire or that we may fail to maximize the return on
these proceeds. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the
use of proceeds from the rights offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether
the proceeds are being used appropriately.
CAPITALIZATION
The
following table sets forth our capitalization as at December 11, 2020
and December 13, 2021 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of 101,025,592 (26,496,635 having been previously exercised) shares of our common
stock, assuming all subscription rights are exercised, at the subscription price of $0.05 per share and the receipt of the net proceeds
from the rights offering after deducting estimated offering expenses in the amount of $60,000. The table does not reflect the use of proceeds
from the rights offering. The information presented in the table below should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial

The foregoing
table shows only historical comparisons. These comparisons may not provide meaningful information to you in determining whether to purchase
shares of common stock in the rights offering. You are urged to obtain current market quotations
for our common stock and to review carefully the other information included in, or incorporated
by referenced into, this prospectus.
We
intend to retain our available funds from earnings and
other sources for future growth and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Additionally,
we do not anticipate paying any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Our dividend policy may be changed at any time, and from time
to time, by our Board. We did not pay or declare any dividends in 2021, 2020, 2019 or 2018.
THE RIGHTS OFFERING
The
following describes the rights offering in general and assumes, unless specifically provided otherwise, that you are a record holder
of our common stock on the record date. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or through a broker, dealer, custodian bank or
other nominee, please also refer to “—Method of Exercising Subscription Rights — Subscription by Beneficial Owners.”
The Subscription Rights
We
are distributing to holders of shares of our common
stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 11, 2020, which is the record date for the rights offering, at no charge, non-transferable
subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share (a price that is a 24.2% discount to the closing price
of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB on the record date). Each holder of record of our common stock will receive one subscription
right for each share of our common stock owned by such holder as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the record date. Each whole subscription
right entitles the holder to a basic subscription right (as described below). The subscription rights entitle the holders of our common
stock to purchase an aggregate of 101,025,592 (26,496,635 having been previously exercised) shares of our common stock for an
aggregate subscription price of $5,051,000. The shares to be issued in the rights offering, like our existing shares of common
stock, will be quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “ALRT.”
Basic
Subscription Right. The basic subscription right provides the holder of each whole subscription right the opportunity to purchase
one share of our common stock at subscription price of $0.05 per share, subject to delivery of the required documents and payment of
the subscription price prior to the expiration of the rights offering. You may exercise
all or a portion of your basic subscription rights or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights at all. Subscription rights
may only be exercised in whole numbers; we will not issue fractional shares and will round all of the subscription rights down to the
nearest whole number.
Reasons for the Rights Offering
We
are engaging in the rights offering to provide for our
general working capital needs. Our Board has chosen, as recommended by management, to raise capital through a rights offering to give
all our stockholders the opportunity to limit ownership dilution by buying additional shares of common stock. Our Board also considered
several alternative capital raising methods prior to concluding that the rights offering was the appropriate option under the current
circumstances. Our Board believes that the rights offering will strengthen the Company’s financial condition by generating additional
cash and increasing its capital position.
Based
on its consideration of these factors, the information and analyses regarding the rights offering prepared by management and the recommendation
of management that the rights offering is in the best interests of the Company in light of the information available to management, and
the additional information and documentation reviewed by our Board, our Board approved the rights offering and determined that the rights
offering is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. However, our Board is not making any recommendation regarding
your exercise of the subscription rights. We cannot assure you that we will not need to seek
additional financing or engage in additional capital offerings in the future or that the rights offering will raise sufficient capital
to provide for our general working capital needs.
Determination of Subscription Price
The
Board has determined the subscription price based on a variety of factors, including historical and current trading prices for our common
stock, recent share based transactions involving our affiliates, the price of most recently issued outstanding stock options held by
our affiliates, general business conditions, our need for capital, alternatives available to us for raising capital, potential market
conditions, and our desire to provide an opportunity to our stockholders to participate in the rights offering on a pro rata basis. In
conjunction with its review of these factors, the Board also reviewed our history and prospects, including our past and present earnings,
our prospects for future earnings, and the outlook for our industry, and our current financial condition.
We
cannot assure you that the market price of our shares of common stock will not decline during or after the rights offering. We also cannot
assure you that you will be able to sell shares of our common stock purchased during the rights offering at a price equal to or greater
than the subscription price. We urge you to obtain a current quote for our common stock before exercising your subscription rights.
No Purchase Commitment
Our
Chairman Sidney Chan, who, together with his affiliates, owns an aggregate of 383,498,482 shares of our common stock, or approximately
71% of the shares outstanding, and our Directors Peter Stafford, Kenneth Robulak, Alfonso Salas, and Ronald Cheng, who collectively own
an aggregate of 4,473,538 shares of our common stock, or approximately 0.8% of the shares outstanding, have each agreed with us not to
exercise their respective basic subscription rights pursuant to the rights offering. None of basic subscription rights attached to the
shares of common stock owned by Mr. Chan or his affiliates are being registered pursuant
to this offering, and will not, accordingly be made available to non-shareholder purchaser. Mr.
Chan and his affiliates elected not to participate in this offering owing to their agreement on September 21, 2020 to accept 240,000,000
of our common shares at a price of $0.05 per share in consideration for the retirement of an aggregate amount of $12,000,000 payable
to them by the Company. The subscription rights attached to the 4,473,538 shares of common stock held by our other Directors are being
registered pursuant to this offering, and may be available for purchase by non-shareholders at the discretion of management within 150
days following the expiration date of the offering.
Method of Exercising Subscription Rights
101,025,592
(26,496,635 having been previously exercised) non-transferable subscription rights are being distributed for each share of our common
stock that you owned as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 11, 2020, the record date
for the rights offering. The exercise of subscription rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified. You
may exercise your subscription rights as follows:
Subscription
by Registered Holders. If you are a registered holder of shares of our common stock, the number of subscription rights you may
exercise is indicated on the enclosed rights certificate. You may exercise your subscription
rights by properly completing and executing the rights certificate and forwarding it, together with your full payment, to the subscription
agent at the address set forth below under “—Subscription Agent,” to be received prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern
Time, on February 18, 2022, the expiration date for the rights offering.
Subscription
by Beneficial Owners. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that are registered in the name of a custodian
bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, you will not receive a rights certificate. Instead, one subscription right will be issued to the
nominee record holder for each share of our common stock that you own at the record date. If you are not contacted by your nominee, you
should promptly contact your nominee in order to subscribe for shares of our common stock in the rights offering.
If
you hold your shares of common stock in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, your nominee will exercise the
subscription rights on your behalf in accordance with your instructions. Your nominee may
establish a deadline that may be before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022, the expiration date for the rights offering.
Payment Method
As
described in the instructions accompanying the rights certificate, payments submitted to the subscription agent must be made in full
United States currency by personal check payable to Pacific Stock Transfer fbo ALR Technologies Inc., the subscription agent, drawn upon
a United States bank.
Payment
will be deemed to have been received by the subscription agent only upon the subscription agent’s receipt of a personal check,
receipt and clearance of such check.
Please
note that funds paid by uncertified personal check may take at least seven business days to clear. Accordingly, if you wish to pay by
means of an uncertified personal check, we urge you to make payment sufficiently in advance of the expiration date to ensure that the
subscription agent receives cleared funds before that time.
Your
subscription rights will not be successfully
exercised unless the subscription agent actually receives from you, your custodian bank, broker,
dealer or other nominee, as the case may be, all of the required documents and your full subscription price
payment (and your payment has cleared) prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022, the scheduled expiration date of
the rights offering, unless you have used the guaranteed delivery procedures described under “—Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.”
You
should read and follow the instructions accompanying
the rights certificate carefully. As described in the instructions accompanying the rights
certificate, in certain cases additional documentation or signature guarantees may be required.
The
method of delivery of payments of the subscription amount to the subscription agent will be at the risk of the holders of subscription
rights. If sent by mail, we recommend that you send those documents and payments by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt
requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure timely delivery to the subscription agent. Do not send or deliver
these materials to us.
There
is no sales fee or commission payable by you in connection with the issuance of subscription rights or the issuance of shares of common
stock if you exercise your subscription rights (other than the subscription price). We will
pay all fees charged by the subscription agent. However, if you exercise your subscription rights through a custodian bank, broker,
dealer or other nominee, you are responsible for paying any other commissions, fees, taxes or other expenses your nominee may charge
you in connection with the exercise of the subscription rights.
Medallion Guarantee May Be Required
Your
signature on your rights certificate must be guaranteed
by an eligible institution, such as a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, subject to standards
and procedures adopted by the subscription agent, unless:
●
you provide on the rights certificate that shares are to be delivered in your name and to your address of record, as imprinted on the
face of the rights certificate; or
●
you are an eligible institution.
Delivery to any address or by a method
other than those set forth above does not constitute valid delivery.
Missing or Incomplete Subscription
Information
If
you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares you requested, or if the number of shares you requested is not
specified in the forms you submit, the payment received will first be applied, to the fullest extent possible based on the amount of
the payment received, to exercise your basic subscription rights. Any excess subscription
payments received by the subscription agent will be returned promptly, without interest or penalty, following the expiration of the rights
offering.
If
you deliver your rights certificate and other documents or payment in a manner different from that described in this prospectus, we may
not honor the exercise of your subscription rights.
Expiration Date
The
period during which you may exercise your subscription rights expires at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022. If you do not
exercise your subscription rights prior to that time, your subscription rights will expire and will no longer be exercisable. We
will not be required to issue shares of our common stock to you if the subscription
agent receives your rights certificate or your subscription payment after that time, unless you have used the guaranteed delivery procedures
described under “—Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.” We have the option
to extend the rights offering without notice to you. If we elect to extend the expiration of the rights offering, we will issue a press
release announcing such extension no later than the next business day after our Board extends the rights offering.
If
you hold your shares of common stock in the name of a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee, your nominee will exercise the
subscription rights on your behalf in accordance with your instructions. Your nominee may
establish a deadline that may be before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 18, 2022, the expiration date for the rights offering.
Conditions, Withdrawal and Termination
We
reserve the right to withdraw the rights offering at
any time for any reason. In addition, we may terminate the rights offering if at any time before completion of the rights offering there
is any judgment, order, decree, injunction, statute, law or regulation entered, enacted, amended or held to be applicable to the rights
offering that in the sole judgment of our Board would or might make the rights offering or its completion, whether in whole or in part,
illegal or otherwise restrict or prohibit completion of the rights offering. If our Board cancels the rights offering, all affected subscription
rights will expire without value, and all subscription payments received by the subscription
agent will be returned promptly, without interest or penalty.
Subscription and Information Agent
We
retained Pacific Stock Transfer to serve as the subscription
agent and as the information agent for the rights offering. The agent will maintain the list of subscriptions. We
will pay all fees and expenses of the agent related to the rights offering and have also agreed to indemnify the agent from certain
liabilities that it may incur in connection with the rights offering. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian
bank or other nominee, then you should send your subscription documents and subscription payment to that record
holder. If you are the record holder, then you should send your subscription documents, rights certificate, subscription payment
or, if applicable, notice of guaranteed delivery,
to the address provided below. If sent by mail, we recommend that you send documents and
payments by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure
delivery to the subscription agent. Do not send or deliver these materials to the Company.

No Fractional Shares
We
will not issue fractional shares in connection with the rights offering. Fractional shares of our common stock resulting from the exercise
of the basic subscription rights will be eliminated by rounding down to the nearest whole share. Any excess subscription payments received
by the subscription agent will be returned promptly, without interest, following expiration of the rights offering.
Notice to Nominees
If
you are a custodian bank, broker, dealer or other nominee who holds shares of our common stock for the account of others on the record
date, you should notify the beneficial owners of the shares for whom you are the nominee of the rights offering as soon as possible to

DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
Background
ALRT
is a data management company that developed the ALRT Diabetes Solution, a comprehensive approach to diabetes care that includes: an FDA-cleared
and HIPAA compliant diabetes management system that collects data directly from blood glucose meters and continuous glucose monitoring
devices; a patent pending Predictive A1C algorithm to track treatment success between lab reports and an FDA-cleared Insulin Dosing Adjustment
program.
ALRT
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp.
In April 1998, the Company changed its business purpose to marketing a pharmaceutical compliance device.
In
December 1998, the common shares of the Company began trading on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities
Dealers Inc. under the symbol “MBET.” On December 28, 1998, the Company changed
its name from Mo Betta Corp. to ALR Technologies Inc. Subsequently the symbol was changed to “ALRT.”
During
2011, the Company received FDA clearance and achieved HIPAA compliance for its Diabetes Solution.
With these key achievements and successful clinical trials completed, the Company began implementing
its commercialization strategy which included a pilot program with patients in Kansas in 2014. The Company obtained significant findings
from this pilot program which led to the development of its Insulin Dosage Adjustment, for which it received FDA clearance in 2017, and
Predictive A1C, for which it has submitted for worldwide patent application under the patent cooperation treaty to the World
Intellectual Property Organization. The Company is actively seeking to commence revenue generating activities.
In
2020, the Company i) entered in an agreement with Bionime Corporation whereby the Company will bundle its Diabetes Solution Application
with blood glucose meters and diabetes test supplies to sell the bundle as the Diabetes Solution to diabetes patients of private medical
clinics in Singapore ii) initiated a clinic pilot with Singapore General Hospital to prove the
efficacy of the ALRT Diabetes Solution in insulin-treated diabetes patients iii) entered into a memorandum of understanding to
form a collaboration with Diabetes Singapore with the view of raising the diabetes management standard in Singapore and iv) advanced
its Diabetes Solution to integrate with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices.
In
2021 i) the Company announced it had advanced its Diabetes Solution for animal health purposes under the brand name “GluCurve”
and ii) the Company announced its intent to redomicile to Singapore.
ALRT
believes that the current trend in diabetes care is shifting from the use of traditional blood glucose meters to care management using
continuous glucose meters and that CGM will become the standard of diabetes care moving forward. ALRT believes it is uniquely positioned
to bundle it Diabetes Solution application with CGM to improve health outcomes globally at a price point that is reasonable for wide
scale adoption. Accordingly, while the Company remains committed to its goal of redomiciling to Singapore, it has also focused its resources
on seeking opportunities in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asia Nations) area too secure supply of CGM through one or more strategic
transactions. At present ALRT does not expect to complete its redomiciling transaction until it has identified a suitable strategic CGM
transaction which ALRT regards as critical to its successful commercial launch for both human and animal health. No assurance can be
given as to the timing or successful completion of such a strategic transaction, or any related redomiciling, occurring.
On
December 7, 2021 the Company entered into Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Infinovo to assess how the parties
can work towards entering into a global supply agreement for the Infinovo CGM for use by ALRT in the animal health sector. Founded in
2016, Infinovo is a medical technology company, focusing on developing an accurate and affordable CGM for patients which will be available
for both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics. Under the terms of the MOU, ALR Technologies and Infinovo will collaborate to integrate Infinovo’s
CGM with ALRT’s proprietary GluCurve platform. The Company expects to begin testing the GluCurve Pet CGM utilizing the Infinovo
CGM in veterinary clinics in late by early January 2022. The testing is expected to complete by the end of February 2022. If the results
of i) integration of the Infinovo CGM into the GluCurve platform and ii) the results of testing the GluCurve platform utilizing the Infinovo
are both satisfactory to the parties and other stakeholders, the parties will seek
to negotiate a definitive global supply agreement for the Infinovo CGM. No assurance can be given as to the timing of completion or the
likelihood of success of the integration or testing, the satisfaction of other stakeholders involved, or that if those are completed
in a satisfactory manner, that ALRT and Infinovo will enter into a definitive agreement for the global supply of the Infinovo CGM to
ALRT.
Products
ALRT
has developed its Diabetes Solution product by utilizing internet-based technologies to facilitate the health care provider’s ability
to monitor their diabetes patients’ health and ensure adherence to health maintenance activities.
The
ALRT Diabetes Solution is a remote monitoring and care facilitation platform that allows
patients to upload the blood glucose data from their meters on a weekly basis. The ALRT System
processes and converts each data set to a Predictive A1C value and shares it with the patient’s
physician. The System provides the physician with therapy advancement suggestions based on current clinical practice guidelines. Patients
receive therapy assessments and adjustments in much shorter cycles, keeping A1Cs at target, mitigating diabetes complications and lowering
costs of care.
In
the future, the Company may seek to adapt its Diabetes Solution to be used in the management of other chronic diseases. The Company may
be required to obtain additional clearance from the FDA prior to commencing selling activities in the United States for other chronic
health conditions.
Diabetes
is a leading cause of death, serious illness and disability across North America. By the year 2030, it is expected that 1 in
10 adults, globally, will have diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed instances). We
believe diabetes is a global pandemic.
Data
from the American Diabetes Association shows 30 million Americans have diabetes and 84 million have prediabetes. That’s 1 in 3
Americans coping with the disease or serious threat of it. The total cost of diagnosed diabetes is staggering at $327 billion annually
($237 billion in direct medical costs and $90 billion in reduced productivity), putting serious drag on an already strained health care
system. Taking a broader view, the global cost
of diabetes was estimated at a whopping $825 billion annually in 2016.
Diabetes
is a lifelong chronic disease with no cure. However, people with diabetes can take steps to control their disease and reduce the risk
of developing the associated serious complications, thereby controlling health care costs. The Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical
Practice Guidelines Expert Committee reports that, “Successful diabetes care depends on the daily commitment of persons with diabetes
mellitus to self-manage through the balance of lifestyle and medication. Diabetes care should be organized around a multi- and interdisciplinary
diabetes health care team that can establish and sustain a communication network between the person with diabetes and the necessary health
care and community systems”. Diabetes incidence rates, economic costs and human costs are increasing even though we know how to
control the disease. The Diabetes Control and Complication Trial conducted from 1983 to 1993 outlined management as follows:
|
·
|
Testing blood glucose levels four or more times per
day;
|
|
·
|
Injecting insulin at least three times a day or using
an insulin pump;
|
|
·
|
Adjust insulin dose according to food intake and exercise;
|
|
·
|
Following a diet and exercise plan; and
|
|
·
|
Monthly visits to health care team.
|
We believe there are five causes for diabetes
to not be controlled:
|
1.
|
Patient non-adherence;
|
|
5.
|
Insulin under prescription.
|
As
noted in Patrick Connole, “UnitedHealth care, Other Large Insurers Seek Better Adherence to Diabetes Care”, Health Plan
Week, February 11, 2013 Volume
23 Issue 5, 80% of United States patients with diabetes do not follow their prescribed care plan. Central to conventional diabetes
care is patient self-management.
Unreliable Data
As noted in Gonder-Frederick,
L.A., et al, “Self Measurement of Blood Glucose: Accuracy of Self-Reporting Data and Adherence to Recommended Regimen”
Diabetes Care, Volume 11, no. 7, July 1988,
77% of patient data contain errors.
Data Overload
Health
care professionals (the “HCPs”) face a lack of timely and reliable blood glucose data, resulting in delays to advance therapy
and sub-optimal insulin dosing. The amount of patient data for clinicians to analyze is too vast and significant during 15-minute clinical
appointments and the information they have is unreliable.
Clinical Inertia
As
noted in Khunti, K., et al, “Clinical Inertia in People with Type 2 Diabetes: A
Retrospective Cohort Study of More than 80,000 People.” Diabetes Care, Volume 36,
no. 11, July 2013, across over 80,000 patients, when A1C goals were not met, therapy intensification
was late across every measure. It took on average 19 months to escalate patients with an average A1C of 8.7% from single medication to
dual therapy and 82 months to escalate patients with an average A1C of 8.8% from dual medication to triple therapy. Furthermore, they
found that it took approximately 20 years to advance patients with an average A1C of over 9% to insulin. At the end of the study,
less than 50% of the patients had their treatment intensified.
Furthermore, in
Treatment intensification for patients with type 2 diabetes and poor glycaemic control by Fu and Sheenan, it was noted that out
of 11,525 patients investigated with an A1C greater than 8% patients received intensification as follows:
|
·
|
11% within 6-12 months; and
|
Failure to respond
to higher than targeted A1C with treatment intensification puts patients with escalated A1C at risk for complications and diabetes-associated
co-morbidities.
Insulin Under Prescription
Insulin dosing is
complex, requiring review of large amounts of data, which takes significant amounts of time. We believe HCPs routinely under-prescribe
insulin to ensure they avoid insulin dosage adjustments, which could result in hypoglycemia for their patients.
Cleveland Clinic Study
A
team at Cleveland Clinic examined historical electronic medical record data of more than 7,300 patients with type 2 diabetes and concluded
that there is a pervasiveness of clinical inertia for the management of type 2 diabetes in real-world clinical practice settings.
The
selected patients had an A1C value of ≥ 7% on a stable regimen of two oral anti-diabetic agents for at least 6 months (from 2005
to 2016). The median time to treatment intensification after A1C was above target was longer than one year.
For patients with an A1c of ≥ 9%, therapy was not intensified in 44% of patients.
According
to lead study author Dr. Kevin Pantalone of Cleveland Clinic’s Endocrinology &
Metabolism Institute, “Short of a patient reporting non-adherence to their existing
regimen of diabetes therapies, it is hard to imagine a reason why treatment intensification was not observed more frequently, when indicated,
particularly in patients with an A1C ≥ 9%. In general, if intensification does not occur, the A1C can be expected to stay
the same or get worse, it is not magically going to get better” (emphasis added).
ALRT Diabetes Solution for Diabetes
Monitoring
ALRT
has created the Diabetes Solution to address the diabetes
marketplace globally. The Company’s Diabetes Solution consists of hardware, software and diabetes test supplies. We
designed the Diabetes Solution to be focused on the HCP and is agnostic and proactive. Our software operates on iOS, Android,
Windows and MacOS systems. Enrollment into the ALRT Diabetes Solution will include a branded
glucose meter, diabetes test strips, lancets and a carrying case. Our technology collects all the blood glucose data from the glucose
meters, uploads it to a secure account and ships diabetes test strips as required. The patient data is aggregated to a Predictive A1C
value for a comprehensive view of the treatment plan and patient adherence to the plan, with the data available (and messaged) to authorized
people.
The ALRT Diabetes Solution addresses the
five causes for not controlling diabetes with:
|
·
|
Active patient monitoring;
|
|
·
|
Machine intelligent data processing;
|
|
·
|
Insulin dosage adjustment.
|
Active Patient Monitoring
Industry
data indicates that 50% or more of people on medications do not take them as prescribed, and that this non-compliance contributes to
10% of hospitalizations and billions of dollars spent annually in excessive and preventable health care costs. Reminding a person to
take an action is the first step in our system; monitoring their actions and their data is the second, and intervention when needed is
the important follow-up.
The
ALRT system monitors patient uploads and the underlying data providing more timely access
to patient blood glucose data. Our system initiates interventions by notifying the HCP of
out-of-range results, or failure to upload data in accordance with the requirements of the
care plan. The ALRT system does not rely upon the patient to manually upload data. Once
a patient completes their test blood glucose test, the ALRT Diabetes Solution will automatically
receive the data at the chosen time interval. The ALRT Diabetes Solution provides the notifications
and audit trail needed for achieving best practice results. Its performance tracking allows care teams to identify areas in treatment
plans that require change of improvement.
Direct Meter Uploads
Data is uploaded
via Bluetooth directly from the glucometer into the ALRT application. This ensures that the data is accurate and reliable based on the
results of testing.
Machine Intelligent Data
Processing
Our
machine intelligence processes large amounts of data, notifies relevant stakeholders and flags patients for review making collaboration
real time. Across segments and populations, this also provides significant data points on use of diabetes test strips and insulin, which
may be significant for businesses in those industries.
Predicative A1C
Predictive
A1C is a patent-pending unique feature for monitoring the effectiveness of care plans. This technology utilizes data
diagnostics to compare targeted A1C with indicated results. Weekly patient blood
glucose data is evaluated, and HCPs are notified as needed for care plan review when blood glucose values exceed parameters set by the
HCPs. Our platform provides HCPs with patient prioritization reports and alerts based on the Predictive A1C measures and other related
diagnostics. Predictive A1C was designed to assist HCPs in addressing clinical inertia in diabetes care.
Insulin Dose Adjustment
Insulin
Dose Adjustment is an FDA-cleared feature that makes optimal insulin adjustment suggestions to HCPs based on dosing guidelines from organizations
like American Diabetes Association. This ensures that HCPs are making timely insulin dosage assessments based on the blood testing results
uploaded. ALRT’s next phase of technology advancement will produce an algorithm for advancing non- insulin diabetes therapies according
to clinical practice guidelines.
Background
In
August 2010, the Company received the results of a clinical trial conducted by Dr. Hugh Tildesley
using the ALRT Diabetes Solution (then referred to as the “Health-e-Connect System”).
The trial showed A1C dropping from 8.8% to 7.6% for the Intervention Group using ALRT’s Health-e-Connect
System as part of a diabetes management program.
The
A1C test is important in diabetes treatment management as a long-term measure of control over blood glucose for diabetes patients. According
to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, “In general, every percentage drop in A1C blood test results (e.g., from 8% to
7%), can reduce the risk of microvascular complications (eye, kidney and nerve diseases) by 40%”. The trial served as the basis
for an article titled Effect of Internet Therapeutic Intervention on A1c Levels in Patients with Type
2 Diabetes Treated with Insulin, which was published in the August 2010 Diabetes
Care publication.
In
July 2011, the follow-up results of the Dr. Tildesley clinical trial were published in the
Canadian Journal of Diabetes. Dr. Tildesley conducted a 12-month study using Health-e-Connect
System as an Internet Based Blood Glucose Monitoring System (IBGMS) to provide intensive
blood glucose control to determine the effects of internet-based blood glucose monitoring on A1C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes
treated with insulin. Dr Tildesley concluded that, “While IBGMS intervention was not a substitute for the patient–physician
interaction in a clinical setting, it significantly improved A1C and, over time, we observed better glycemic control and patient satisfaction”.
In
October 2011, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Diabetes Solution (then
known as the Health-e-Connect System) for remote monitoring of patients in support of effective diabetes management programs. The 510(k)
clearance enables the Company to commence with the United States marketing and sales launch of its Health-e- Connect System.
In
September 2014, the Company initiated its pilot program with one of the Kansas City Metropolitan Physician Association clinics to deploy
its Diabetes Solution. Data from the KCMPA pilot program indicated that a number of patients
had achieved reductions in their A1C levels. Furthermore, the data indicated that patients
that left the pilot program had increases in A1C subsequently.
On
February 18, 2015, the Company filed a 510(k) application with the FDA to add a remote insulin dosing recommendation feature to the Company’s
Diabetes Solution. The Company utilized the publicly available algorithm of the AACE and ADA. This feature allows the Company to regularly
run a patient’s blood glucose data (and other key data) through the AACE and ADA algorithm. When the algorithm indicated that the
patient’s dose may not be optimal, the Diabetes Solution would provide the health care provider that a dose change may be warranted
and what the change would be based on AACE and ADA guidelines. The decision about the dose change would rest entirely with the health
care provider. However, this new feature may make a significant contribution to improving the outcomes of diabetes patients if it allowed
HCPs to keep their patients at the optimal dose for longer periods. On September 18, 2017, the Company received clearance from the FDA
for its Insulin Dosage Adjustment feature within the Company’s Diabetes Solution.
On
June 20, 2017, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer filed a worldwide patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty to
the World Intellectual Property Office for Predictive A1C feature. The Company holds the
rights to use the Predictive A1C feature. During the 2019 year, the Company and the Chairman have entered into the National Phase for
the applications by applying to target member countries.
During
2019, the Company added automated patient management to the Diabetes Solution. The Company is also seeking to have a private label glucometer,
diabetes test strips, lancets and carrying cases produced as part of the Diabetes Solution. The Company is in talks with a manufacturer
that has global operations.
During
2020, the Company advanced its ALRT Diabetes Solution to integrate with CGM. CGM has become the standard of care for patients with type
1 diabetes and is quickly gaining favor with type 2 diabetes patients who use insulin.
ALRT Pre-Diabetes
System
A
prevention-based feature of the Diabetes Solution, the ALRT Prediabetes System, has been designed in direct response to discussions with
government healthcare authorities for a scalable solution to the growing problem of prediabetes. The Prediabetes Solution provides patients
with educational videos and supplemental content formatted for mobile devices and a private online community to discuss disease management
(e.g., support, weight loss, diet, etc.). Most importantly, the System tracks patients and reminds them to test their A1C according to
payer protocols.
ALR GluCurve
for Pets
ALR
Technologies Inc. has developed the GluCurve Pet CGM to address an unmet need in diabetes care for felines and canines by combining the
hardware of a CGM with the software of an adapted version of its Diabetes Solution platform for use by veterinarians in animal health.
The GluCurve Pet
CGM platform allows the blood glucose readings from the medical device placed on the pet to be uploaded to the cloud where the data is
processed and converted into daily glucose curve graphs and data sets that can be reviewed and compared by the veterinarian at any time.
The system provides the doctor with insulin dose calculators and recommendations based on current clinical practice guidelines.
The
current method to monitor glucose levels in diabetic felines and canines is to prepare an in-clinic glucose curve that consists of the
following steps:
|
1.
|
The pet is dropped off
at a veterinary clinic;
|
|
2.
|
The pet is given an insulin
shot;
|
|
3.
|
The clinic staff will draw
blood every 2 hours for 10-12 hours, performing the following steps each time:
|
|
a.
|
test the blood in a blood
glucose meter;
|
|
c.
|
plot the data into a graph;
|
|
d.
|
assess the effectiveness
of the insulin dose and glycemic control; and
|
|
4.
|

The
GluCurve Pet CGM solves the multiple issues that arise from doing an in-clinic glucose curve:
|
·
|
Manual process of data collection, review and analysis;
and
|
|
·
|
Burden on the clinic staff and the pet owner.
|
Inaccurate
Data
A
CGM is placed on the pet by the veterinarian in minutes and the pet is sent home where the glucose readings will be automatically taken
and uploaded for up to 14 days, which eliminates the stress on the animal from being housed in the clinic and from getting its blood
drawn, which can elevate glucose levels. A CGM also provides readings every 5 minutes, which gives better insight to the veterinarian
of the highs and lows of the pet’s glucose levels throughout the day, which are often missed when only checking every 2 hours during
an in-clinic glucose curve.
Manual
Process of Data Collection, Review and Analysis
A
CGM automatically uploads 288 glucose readings per day to the ALRT cloud where the data is analyzed, organized, then displayed on the
platform for the veterinarian to view. The GluCurve Pet CGM platform provides patient management of diabetic pets so historical data
can also be reviewed and compared.
Burden
on Clinic Staff and Pet Owner
A
CGM is placed on the pet in minutes, after which they are sent home, greatly reducing the time spent by the staff during an in-clinic
glucose curve of caring for the pet and manually drawing blood and recording readings every 2 hours. The platform also greatly reduces
the time needed by the doctor to review and make insulin dose adjustments by offering dosing calculators, guidelines and decision flowcharts
based on current clinical practice guidelines.
Reimbursement
for Health Professionals
The
Company continues to work to obtain confirmation that the Diabetes Solution will allow for services to be provided by
physicians that will be reimbursed by health insurance companies. The reimbursement will be a breakthrough, as physicians will
be paid to provide these important new services to their patients with chronic conditions.
Business Development
and Marketing Strategy
The
Company is focusing its efforts on introducing and marketing its Diabetes Solution for medical clinics, hospitals and HCPs to provide
direct care to patients and be reimbursed by the patients’ health benefit plans, as well as to employers due to the significant
return on investment they can achieve by keeping employees/plan members healthy.
The
Company is first targeting customers located in the United States because of the large market potential, but will also seek to obtain
regulatory clearance and establish selling operations/agreements for sales and distribution in Canada, Europe, Australia, Singapore,
and selected countries in Asia and South America.
Other Products
The Company does not
have any other products outside of the Diabetes Solution and GluCurve.

The Company is evaluating
its options for diabetes hardware and supplies to be combined with the ALRT Diabetes Solution for the human health sector for the
rest of the world.

On December 7, 2021 the
Company entered into an MOU with Infinovo to assess how the parties can work towards entering into a global supply agreement for

Selling Activities
The
Company is actively seeking alliances with health care organizations, pharmaceutical companies, insulin providers and other health care
companies that can act as catalysts to effect positive change for containing health care costs and improving health outcomes. We
will work with these types of organizations to introduce the ALRT Diabetes Solution
to their network and seek to start significant pilot projects that will lead to revenue-generating arrangements.
Intellectual Property
The Company’s Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer has the following patent applications under the PCT:
|
●
|
PCT/CA2017/050753 dated June 27, 2017. Title is “method
and system for monitoring a diabetes treatment plan”.
|
This patent application has
been submitted to Canada, the United States of America, Europe, Singapore and Australia. The Company holds an exclusive license to the
patent applications.
Competition
The
Company competes with other corporations that produce diabetes compliance devices, monitoring systems and wellness applications, many
of whom have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. A few companies currently offer compliance monitoring systems,
but either a) at much higher prices, b) have fewer benefits than our system, or c) they do not have FDA clearance. The Company’s
competition includes, but is not limited to, Livongo, Glooko, WellDoc, Medtronics, iGlucose and Microsoft HealthVault.
We
feel none of these companies currently offer a comprehensive
compliance system that offers the full spectrum of benefits and features that our Diabetes Solution does with the potential cost efficiencies.
We believe that while some of the competitors address the issues of unreliable data and patient
non-adherence, none of the competition address data overload, clinical inertia or insulin under
prescription from our perspective.
Employees and Independent Contractors
The
Company has 27 personnel under employment, independent contractor and consulting arrangements. The consultants of the Company have contracts
that outline their roles and responsibilities as independent contractor, as well as outline the confidentiality requirements for all
matters pertaining to the Company.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021
($ United States)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis
of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern
ALR Technologies
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 24, 1987. On May 16, 2020,
the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, ALR Technologies Sg Pte. Ltd. (“ALRT SG”), under the Companies Act
of Singapore. On June 9, 2021, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Canada Diabetes Solution Centre, Inc., under the
Business Corporations Act of Alberta. The Company has developed its Diabetes Management Solution, which is a comprehensive approach
to diabetes care consisting of data collection, predictive A1C, insulin dosage adjustment suggestions, performance tracking, remote monitoring
and diabetes test supplies. The Company is seeking commercial opportunities to deploy the Diabetes Management Solution in the United
States of America, Canada and Singapore.
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in U.S. dollars and on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization
of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. Several adverse
conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant losses over the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 of $4,930,253 and $3,893,324, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company
is unable to self-finance its operations, has a working capital deficit of $23,243,655 (December 31, 2020 - $21,760,608), accumulated
deficit of $98,502,015 (December 31, 2020 - $93,571,762), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow and no assurance
that sufficient funding will be available to conduct continued product development activities. If the Company is able to finance its
required product development activities, there is no assurance the Company’s current projects will be commercially viable or profitable.
The Company has liabilities comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable, lines of credit and promissory notes
payable totaling $23,350,048 currently due, due on demand or considered delinquent. There is no assurance that the Company will not face
additional legal action from creditors regarding delinquent accounts payable, promissory notes payable and interest payable. Any one
or a combination of these above conditions could result in the failure of the business and cause the Company to cease operations.
The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing
to fund working capital and overhead requirements, fund the development of the Company’s product line, and ultimately, the Company’s
ability to achieve profitable operations and repay overdue obligations. Management has obtained a mix of equity and line of credit financing
from related parties. The line of credit facilities have available borrowing in principal up to $12,300,000. As of September 30,
2021, the total principal balance outstanding was $12,092,637. The resolution of whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon the realization of management’s plans. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional
debt or equity capital from the sources described above or that the lenders in the line of credit arrangements will maintain the availability
of borrowing from the line. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining short-term financing or achieving long-term profitable operations,
the Company will be required to cease operations.
In March
2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus, COVID-19, a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued
to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally,
potentially leading to an economic downturn. Management does not expect that COVID-19 will have a significant impact on the Company;
however, it could have a potential impact on the Company’s ability to raise money, market its products to attract customers or
procure equipment and parts for its glucose monitoring system.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021
($ United States)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis
of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern (continued)
All of
the Company’s debt is either due on demand or is in default, while continuing to accrue interest at its stated rate. The Company
will seek to obtain creditors’ consents to delay repayment of the outstanding promissory notes payable and related interest thereto,
until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, recapitalization with replacement debt or from equity
financings through private placements. While some of the Company’s creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past,
there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. In the past, creditors have successfully commenced legal action
against the Company to recover debts outstanding. In those instances, the Company was able to obtain financing from related parties to
cover the verdict or settlement; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the same financing in the future.
If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing to cover any potential verdicts or settlements, the Company will be required to
cease operations.
The Company’s
activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2021. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will
depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s continued product development and distribution efforts. The Company
plans to continue financing its operations with the lines of credit it has available.
2. Significant
Accounting Policies
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ALR Technologies
Sg Pte. Ltd., which was incorporated on May 16, 2020 in Singapore, and Canada Diabetes Solution Centre, Inc., which was incorporated
on June 9, 2021 in Alberta, Canada. The Canadian subsidiary is currently inactive. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated on consolidation.
The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021 and for the period then ended have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to
make the information not misleading.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020 and the results of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and for the periods then ended, have been made.
Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments.
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
The results
of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

2. Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue
recognition
The Company’s
primary source of revenues is from subscription fees. Customers are billed in advance of the start of their subscription and revenues
are recognized ratably over each monthly subscription period. The Company is the principal in all its relationships where partners provide
monitoring services as well as testing supplies as the Company retains control over service delivery to its customers. Payments made
to the partners, such as for marketing, where the price that the customer pays is established by the partners and is part of the subscription,
these payments are recognized as reduction of revenues.
Foreign
currency translation
The presentation
currency of the Company is the United States dollar.
The functional
currency of each of the parent company and its subsidiaries is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
that entity operates. The functional currency of ALR Technologies Sg Pte. Ltd. is Singapore dollars, for Canada Diabetes Solution Centre,
Inc. is Canadian dollars and for the Company the functional currency is United States dollars.
Transactions
and balances
Foreign
currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue
to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange
rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange
differences arising on the translation are recognized in profit or loss in the Statement of Operations in the year in which they arise.
Parent
and Subsidiary Companies
The financial
results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:
|
·
|
Assets and liabilities
are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; and
|
|
·
|
Income and expenses are
translated at monthly average exchange rates during the year.
|
Exchange
differences arising on the translation are recognized in profit or loss in the Statement of Operations in the year in which they arise.

Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of ALR Technologies Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ALR Technologies Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31,
2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows, for the years then
ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not
generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires
additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
Critical
audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be
communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31,
2020 and 2019
($ United States)
1. Basis
of presentation, nature of operations and going concern
ALR Technologies
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987. On May 16, 2020, the
Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, ALR Technologies Sg Pte. Ltd., under the Companies Act of Singapore. The Company
has developed its Diabetes Management Solution, which is a comprehensive approach to diabetes care consisting of data collection, predictive
A1C, insulin dosage adjustment suggestions, performance tracking, remote monitoring and diabetes test supplies. The Company is seeking
commercial opportunities to deploy the Diabetes Management Solution in the United States of America, Canada and Singapore.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in U.S. dollars and on a going concern basis, which
presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable
future. Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant losses
over the past several fiscal years (2020 - $5,916,017; 2019 - $9,005,537), is currently unable to self-finance its operations,
has a working capital deficit of $21,760,608 (2019 - $31,088,266), accumulated deficit of $93,571,762 (2019 - $87,655,745),
limited resources, no source of operating cash flow and no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct continued product
development activities. If the Company is able to finance its required product development activities, there is no assurance the Company’s
current projects will be commercially viable or profitable. The Company has debts comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
interest payable, lines of credit and promissory notes payable totaling $21,889,457 (2019 - $31,090,104) currently due, due on demand
or considered delinquent. There is no assurance that the Company will not face additional legal action from creditors regarding delinquent
accounts payable, promissory notes payable and interest payable. Any one or a combination of the above conditions could result in the
failure of the business and cause the Company to cease operations.
The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing
to fund working capital and overhead requirements, fund the development of the Company’s product line, and ultimately, the Company’s
ability to achieve profitable operations and repay overdue obligations. Management has obtained short-term financing from related parties
through line of credit facilities with available borrowing in principal amount up to $12,300,000. As of December 31, 2020, the total
principal balance outstanding was $11,539,125. The resolution of whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the realization of management’s plans. When additional financing is required, the Company plans to raise needed capital through
the exercise of share options and by future common share private placements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to raise any additional debt or equity capital from the sources described above or that the lenders in the line of credit arrangements
will maintain the availability of borrowing from the line. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining short-term financing or achieving
long-term profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations.
In March
2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus, COVID-19, a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued
to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally,
potentially leading to an economic downturn. The impact on the Company is not currently determinable, but management continues to monitor
the situation. Management does not expect that COVID-19 will have a significant impact on the Company; however, it could have a potential
impact the Company’s ability to raise money, market its products to attract customers or procure equipment and parts for its glucose
monitoring system.
ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31,
2020 and 2019
($ United States)
1. Basis
of presentation, nature of operations and going concern (continued)
All of
the Company’s debt is either due on demand or is in default, while continuing to accrue interest at its stated rates. The Company
will seek to obtain creditors’ consents to delay repayment of the outstanding promissory notes payable and related interest thereto,
until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, recapitalization with replacement debt or from equity
financings through private placements. While some of the Company’s creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past,
there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. In the past, creditors have successfully commenced legal action
against the Company to recover debts outstanding. In those instances, the Company was able to obtain financing from related parties to
cover the verdict or settlement; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the same financing in the future.
If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing to cover any potential verdicts or settlements, the Company will be required to
cease operations.
The Company’s
activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2020. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will
depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s continued product development and distribution efforts. The Company
plans to continue financing its operations with the lines of credit it has available.
2. Significant
accounting policies
|
a)
|
Basis of consolidation
|
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ALR Technologies Sg Pte. Ltd.,
which was incorporated on May 16, 2020 in Singapore and is currently inactive. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated on consolidation.
|
b)
|
Stock-based compensation
|
The Company
follows the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest
is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company estimates
the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31,
2020 and 2019
($ United States)
2. Significant
accounting policies (continued)
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences
between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and
operating loss carry-forwards that are available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When it is not considered to be more likely than not
that a deferred income tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess.
The Company
follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in
the consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements.
The preparation
of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial
statements, the measurement of stock-based compensation, the fair value of financial instruments, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Basic loss
per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon exercise
of stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are not included in the calculation

2. Significant
accounting policies (continued)
Comprehensive
income is the overall change in the net assets of the Company for a period, other than changes attributable to transactions with stockholders.
It is made up of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses
affecting stockholders' equity that under U.S. GAAP are excluded from net income. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income
(loss) in any period presented. Therefore, as presented in the Company's consolidated statements of operations, net loss equals comprehensive
loss.

Fair value of financial
instruments
|
The Company’s
financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, promissory notes payable, interest payable and lines of credit. The fair values
of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.
For fair value measurement, U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies
in measuring fair value:
Level 1
— observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2
— includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3
— unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
Cash is
measured at level 1 inputs.
h)
Recently adopted and issued accounting pronouncements
Issued
The Company
has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe
that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position
or statements of operations.

and contingencies
c)
Contingencies
The Company
has had three judgments against it relating to overdue promissory notes and accrued interest, and a fourth creditor has demanded repayment
of an overdue promissory note and accrued interest. To date, the Company has not repaid any of these promissory notes and related accrued
interest and could be subject to further action. The legal liability, totaling $1,226,567, of these promissory notes and related accrued
interest have been fully recognized and recorded by the Company. The Company has accrued interest of $244,472 related to one of these
promissory notes.
On September
23, 2020, the Superior Court of Forsyth County, North Carolina issued a Civil Summons in regards to one of the above noted judgement
of $551,576, consisting of the principal amount of $300,000 and accrued interest of $251,576, as of the date of the Civil Summons. An
Order for Mediated Settlement Conference in Superior Court and Trial Calendar Notice was issued and a tentative trial date in the absence
of a mediated settlement has been set for June 28, 2021.
d)

9. Financial
instruments
The Company’s
financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, interest payable, promissory notes payable to unrelated parties, promissory
notes payable to related parties and lines of credit from related parties.
The fair
values of cash and certain accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these
instruments.
Certain
accounts payable have been outstanding longer than one year. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over
the period the payables have been outstanding for longer than one year, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in
capital. The calculated amount represents the implicit compensation for the use of funds beyond a reasonable term for regular trade payables.
For the
purposes of fair value analysis, promissory notes payable to related parties and promissory notes payable to unrelated parties can be
separated into two classes of financial liabilities:
|
i.
|
Interest-bearing promissory
notes, lines of credit and related interest payable; and
|
|
ii.
|
Non-interest-bearing promissory
notes past due.
|
The interest-bearing
promissory notes payable are all delinquent and have continued to accrue interest at their stated rates. The Company currently does not
have the funds to extinguish these debts and will continue to incur interest until such time as the liabilities are extinguished. There
is not an active market for delinquent loans for a Company with a similar financial position. Management asserts the carrying values
of the promissory notes and related interest payable are a reasonable estimate of fair value, as they represent the Company’s best
estimate of their legal obligation for these debts. As there is no observable market for interest rates on similar promissory notes,
the fair value was estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company
has one non-interest-bearing promissory note payable past due. There is not an active market for default loans not bearing interest nor
is there an observable market for lending to companies with a financial position similar to the Company. The Company has recorded imputed
interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the promissory notes, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in
capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds. Management asserts the payment date for these amounts cannot be
reasonably determined. Management further asserts there is not a determinable interest rate for arm’s length borrowings based on
the current financial position of the Company and asserts the carrying value is the best estimate of the Company’s legal liability
and represents the fair value for the promissory note. This would be considered a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy.

9. Financial
instruments (continued)
The financial
instrument that potentially subjects the Company to credit risk consists of cash. The Company only has an immaterial cash balance and
is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Market
risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market
risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
Interest
rate risk consists of two components:
To the extent
that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market
interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
The Company
is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on promissory notes payable of $500,000, which incur a variable interest rate of prime plus
1%. A hypothetical change of 1% on interest rates would increase or decrease net loss and comprehensive loss by $5,000.
To the extent
that changes in prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rate on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities,
the Company is exposed to price risk.
The Company’s
promissory notes payable consist of $100,000 of variable interest rate notes and $5,186,319 of fixed interest rate notes. All of these
notes are past due and are currently due on demand while interest continues to accrue. Due to the delinquency of the fixed interest rate
promissory notes payable, there is no active market for these instruments and fluctuations in market interest rates do not have a significant
impact on their estimated fair values as of December 31, 2020.
At December 31,
2020, the effect on net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 1% in market interest rate cannot be reasonably determined.

Market risk (continued)
|
|
ii.
|
Foreign currency risk
|
The Company
incurs certain accounts payable and expenses in Canadian dollars and is exposed to fluctuations in changes in exchange rates between
the U.S. and Canadian dollars. As at December 31, 2020, the effect on net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of
10% between the U.S. and Canadian dollars would not be material. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate
risk.
10. Income
taxes
The provision
for income taxes differs from the result that would be obtained by applying the statutory tax rate of 21% (2019 - 21%) to income
before income taxes. The difference results from the following items:

10. Income
taxes (continued)
The potential
benefit of the deferred income tax asset has not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements since it cannot be assured
that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The Company believes that the available objective
evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of the deferred income tax assets such that a full valuation allowance
has been recorded.
The operating
losses amounting to $37,126,000 for utilization in the United States of America, the jurisdiction where they were incurred, will expire
between 2021 and 2040 if they are not used. The following table lists the fiscal year in which the loss was incurred and the expiration

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The
Company’s business is focused on enhancement of adherence to disease and health care management programs through monitoring, reminders
and improved communications. The Company’s primary business markets are the providers of health insurance and
the providers of disease and case management services, including the home care industry.
The
largest potential for sustainable long-term growth and value generation lies with the market segments that have the most influence on
the end-user and the most to gain from improved health care results. These market segments are the health insurance providers, and the
medical clinics and physicians who provide the care for people with chronic disease. Our focus is on penetrating the full cycle of health
care services, including medical clinics, hospitals and health plans with diabetics being the initial patient targets.
Revenue
The
Company did not generate any revenue during fiscal 2020, 2019 or 2018, and generated nominal revenues during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2021. For the past several years, the Company has been devoting its efforts
to developing and commercializing its Diabetes Management System, a blood glucose management platform that combines patient monitoring,
patient adherence, care team communications, automated patient management and insulin dosage suggestions.
In
October 2011, the Company announced that it had received FDA clearance to sell its Diabetes Management System in the United States. In
2012, the Company obtained HIPAA clearance for its Diabetes Management System. The Company
since demonstrated that the average patient’s A1C was reduced by 1.2% over six months
in both a clinical trial and a pilot program. Subsequently, the Company developed and obtained FDA clearance for Insulin Dose Adjustment
and developed and is patent pending for its proprietary Predictive A1C innovation. The Company is ready to launch the Diabetes Management
System commercially and is seeking a suitable opportunity.
Product Development
During the 2020 fiscal year, the majority
of the Company’s product development efforts were expended to:
|
●
|
Further development of its Diabetes Management System;
|
|
●
|
Prepare for additional functionality to enhance care
facilitation activity;
|
|
●
|
Increase compatibility and usability of the Diabetes
Management System;
|
|
●
|
Initiate development of its Diabetes Management System
for compatibility with continuous glucose monitoring technologies;
|
|
●
|
Implement advances as a result of user feedback; and
|
|
●
|
Other general advances of the Diabetes Management System.
|
With
the completion of the Diabetes Management System, the Company is currently focusing its efforts on the commercial launch plans of the
product and conducting research activities for future attributes and applications for the Diabetes Management System.
Product
development and research costs were $1,433,027 in 2020, $1,625,075 in 2019, and $408,640 in 2018. Included in product development costs
were stock-based compensation costs of $1,156,195 in 2020, $1,243,644 in 2019, and $186,476 in 2018. During the nine- month ended September
30, 2021 and 2020 product development and research costs were $368,650
and $1,446,896, respectively, including $160,010 and $1,156,201, respectively, in stock-based
compensation.
Operating Capital
The
Company has no significant revenues and had not generated significant revenues since creating its Diabetes Management System. The Company
is funding operations through the line of credit financing it has available. The majority of the Company’s expenditures
go towards product development, professional fees and administrative activities. The Company incurs significant amounts of interest expense
from its debts outstanding and, from time to time, the grant of stock options in exchange for either 1) deferred payment, 2) agreements
of note extensions, and 3) increased borrowing limits provided. All stock options granted related to the debts of the Company have been
recorded at their fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and are expensed over the agreed upon term of the debt instrument
where applicable. Where the debt of the Company is a line of credit arrangement with no fixed terms of repayment, the stock option expense
is fully recognized at the time of grant.
There
is no certainty of the timing or amount of cash flows from sales, and if sales do begin, there is no certainty that it will reach the
level necessary to cover operating costs and costs to service the Company’s debts. The Company has limited resources and is seeking
to penetrate markets with indirect competition with much greater resources. The Company is seeking to displace generally accepted processes
for diabetes management, which means it is directly entering into an unestablished market. Management is evaluating alternatives to penetrate
both existing and new marketplaces in order to generate cash flows. Management believes the business plan of the Company will give it
the best opportunity to achieve commercial feasibility, but due to the current acceptance levels of the Diabetes Management System, there
is substantial uncertainty over the Company’s ability to execute the plan, the level of success associated with the execution of
its business plan or the actual timeline to execute the plan. If the actual timeline for the execution of the business plan is substantially
longer than planned, it could jeopardize the Company’s long-term success. For these reasons the Company is seeking additional financing.
The
Company has operating lines of credit with a borrowing limit of $12,300,000. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowing available
of approximately $761,000 on its line of credit. The Company does not have any other facilities readily available at this time and has
continued to receive funding under the terms of the existing line of credit that has reached the borrowing limit from the Chief Executive
Officer. Management will seek to acquire additional financing to allow the Company to become a commercially viable enterprise, whereby
it can generate sufficient cash flow from the sales of its Diabetes Management System to support its cost of operations, overhead and
repay its obligations.
There
is no certainty that the Company will ever be able to achieve the level of sales necessary to cover operating costs or achieve the level
of sales before the borrowing limits on the lines of credit financing are reached. The Company will require additional financing in the
future for which there is no guarantee it will receive. Furthermore, even if the Company is able to achieve sufficient cash flows to
support operations, it will need to service its debt obligations, which as of December 31, 2020 were approximately
$21,890,000.
On
September 21, 2020, the Company entered into two shares for debt agreements (the “Agreements”) to issue an aggregate of 240,000,000
restricted shares of common stock at a deemed price of $0.05 per share to retire $12,000,000 of outstanding debt as follows.

Each
of the Agreements have a non-dilutive clause for any subsequent equity sales by the Company to issue its shares of common stock below
$0.05 per share for a term of twelve months. The Agreements were approved by all the independent directors of the Company. The shares
were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
A total of approximately $14,320,000 remains
owed to the Chairman and his spouse as of December 31, 2020.
Operating Issues
The
Company has expended significant efforts introducing the Diabetes Management System to specified retail chains, pharmaceutical manufacturers,
contract research organizations, health management organizations, pharmacy benefits managers and certain clinics treating specific disease
conditions. The Company has not had sales for several years. During the 2018, 2019 and 2020 fiscal years, the Company has devoted 100%
of its efforts to developing the Diabetes Management System for commercial launch. Management plans for the Company to become a commercially
viable enterprise through the sale of Diabetes Management subscriptions.
If
management is not successful in its plans, the Company may be required to raise additional funds from its existing and prospective shareholders
or debtholders, which it may not be able to accomplish on satisfactory terms for the Company.
Management Compensation
During
2020, the Company’s sole officer, Mr. Sidney Chan, earned $20,800 per month, which was recorded as an increase to the borrowings
on the line of credit provided by Mr. Chan to the Company. Mr. Chan’s compensation during the 2019 fiscal year was $15,800 per
month. During the 2019 fiscal year, Mr. Chan was granted the option to acquire 120,000,000 shares of common stock in connection with
increasing the borrowing limit on the Company’s line of credit by $1,800,000.
The
Company issues stock options as compensation from time to time. No directors of the Company earn service fees for their position as director
of the Company. Those directors that hold a position as officer or consultant of the Company earn fees for those services provided. During
2020, the Company granted incentive to Ken Robulak for the option to acquire 8,000,000 (2019 - 6,650,000) shares of common stock
of the Company at a price of $0.05 (2019 - $0.035) per share for five years. The options granted to Mr. Robulak during 2020 were
subject to performance vesting conditions.
Each
of Dr. Alfonso Salas, Ronald Cheng and Peter Stafford were not granted options during 2020. During 2019, they were granted options as
follows:
|
·
|
Dr. Alfonso Salas was granted
the option to acquire 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.035 per share for five years; and
|
|
·
|
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Stafford
were each granted the option to acquire 4,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.035 per share for a term
of five years.

The
net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 27% ($1,037,000) higher than the net loss at September 30, 2020.
Loss before other items and stock-based compensation was $643,000 (84%) higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We highlight that loss before other items and stock-based compensation
is a “non-GAAP financial measure”. This measure is calculated by removing those items from the net loss presented
on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. This measure does not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP.
Management uses this measure internally to evaluate its results of operations, as it removes the impact of stock-based compensation,
non-operational losses and interest accretion.

The
loss before interest and stock-based compensation for the Company’s nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $642,000
due primarily to increased professional fees of $388,000 and personnel costs of $253,000.
|
·
|
The Company incurred increased
professional costs related to assessing business structure alternatives;
|
|
·
|
The Company has retained
additional personnel to support commercialization strategies in Singapore and the United States;
|
|
·
|
The Company has incurred
professional costs related to its proposed migration to Singapore; and
|
|
·
|
The Company has retained
additional personnel related to evaluating and forming its pet division.
|
Selling,
General and Administration
Selling,
general and administration costs incurred consist of salaries and consulting fees of management personnel, stock-based compensation for
options granted to management personnel, travel and trade show costs, rent of the Company’s corporate office, website development
costs and general costs incurred through day-to-day operations.
During
the period, the Company had an increase in selling, general and administration expenses, primarily driven by an increase in salaries
and consulting fees paid to personnel and to a market research firm related to commercialization plans for the Company’s Diabetes
Solution. The components of selling, general and administration expenses and the changes therein can be seen as follows:

During
Q3 2021, the Company had increased selling, general and administration operating expenses, as compared to the same period in 2020. The
cash-based selling, general and administration expenses increased by $338,000 during Q3 2021, as compared to Q3 2020, which was primarily
related to increased personnel costs and market research consulting fees.
Product
development costs
Substantially
all of the product development costs incurred related to a) services provided by contractors of the Company, and b) expenses incurred
for product development. The change in balance from the previous year relates primarily to changes in composition of our technical team
in the current year, as compared to the previous year. The Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $160,000 during Q3 2021
related to the grant and vesting of options to its product development team compared to $1,156,000 during Q3 2020. The reduction in product
development costs related to stock-based compensation expenses of $996,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 accounted
for 92% of the reduction in total product development costs from the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Professional
fees
Professional
costs incurred consist of consulting and advisory fees of certain professionals retained, audit fees, tax consultant fees, recruiter
fees, legal fees and stock-based compensation for options granted to professionals. During the period, there was a significant increase
in professional fees related to:
|
·
|
The recruitment of certain
personnel;
|
|
·
|
The engagement of additional
accounting personnel; and
|
|
·
|
Legal and tax advice obtained
related to corporate structure analysis.
|
By
type of professional cost, the variance can be seen as follows:

in promissory notes and $3,000 in accrued interest on promissory notes. There were no other significant changes in the amount of promissory

of the Company.

Imputed
Interest
During
the 2021 and 2020 periods, the Company had certain zero interest promissory notes and accounts payable in excess of one year. Pursuant
to the Company’s accounting policy, these zero interest amounts are considered to be financing items in nature and are assigned
a deemed interest rate (1% per month). The interest incurred on these is expensed as imputed interest and, instead of increasing the
liabilities of the Company, it is allocated to equity under the financial statement line item additional paid-in capital. The
change from the prior period is related to the discussion included under Interest on Promissory Notes above.

The
net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 34% ($3,090,000) lower than the net loss at December 31, 2019 primarily as
a result of 1) options granted to creditors of the Company in exchange for an increased borrowing limit in the prior year, and 2) options
modified held by creditors of the Company in the prior year. There were no options granted to creditors during the year ended December
31, 2020. Net loss before interest expense and stock-based compensation was $108,000 (13%) higher during the year ended December 31,
2020, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily related to increased personnel costs related to new
personnel engaged by the Company and increased compensation paid to existing personnel.

granted to management personnel, travel and trade show costs, rent of the Company’s corporate office, website development costs
and general costs incurred through day-to-day operations.
During
the year, the Company had a decrease in the selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily driven by a decrease in stock-based

The
decrease in stock-based compensation accounted for 202% of the decrease of general and administrative expenses in the current year, as
compared to the prior year. The Company grants stock options to personnel to incentivize them to join the Company and to provide certain
services to the Company. Aside from the change of selling, general and administrative expenses related to stock-based compensation, which
is non-cash-based, selling general and administrative costs incurred during 2020 increased by $159,000 over the 2019 fiscal year as the
Company:
|
·
|
paid increased compensation
to certain personnel during 2020;
|
|
·
|
retained a market development
personnel during 2020;
|
|
·
|
had its common shares upgraded
to trade on the OTCQB; and
|
|
·
|
prepared a Form S1 Registration
Statement for its rights offering.
|
We
anticipate that cash-based operating expenses for 2021 will increase as compared to amounts in 2020, as the Company will become more
active in efforts to commercialize its Diabetes Solution.
Product
Development
Product
development costs consists of a) services provided by contractors of the Company, b) expenses incurred for product development, and c)
stock-based compensation for options granted to members of the product development team. Product development costs of the Company were

For
the 2020 fiscal year, the Company was anticipating similar or slightly reduced product development expenses, as compared to 2019, before
any changes from stock-based compensation expense. Development costs excluding stock-based compensation decreased by $104,000 during
the 2020 fiscal year, as compared to the 2019 fiscal year. We anticipate that cash-based product development expenses for 2021 will increase
as compared to amounts in 2020,
as the Company anticipates retaining additional personnel to support its efforts to commercialize its Diabetes Solution.
Interest
Expense
During
the year, the Company incurred a decrease in interest expense as compared to the prior year as a result of there being no stock options
issued for or outstanding stock options modified related to the Company’s financing arrangements as had occurred during the year
ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense was incurred from the following sources for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

During
the 2020 fiscal year, the Company borrowed an additional $821,000 from its line of credit facilities (interest rates of 1% per month
on the borrowed balance) while settling principal of $1,039,000 through the issuance of shares of common stock in September 2020.
In
addition to incurring interest for a full year on the amounts borrowed to the end of the 2019 fiscal year, the increase in borrowing
during the majority of 2020 resulted in significantly higher interest incurred on the lines of credit for the year ended December 31,
2020.
Imputed Interest
During
the 2020 and 2019 fiscal years, the Company had certain zero interest promissory notes and accounts payable in excess of one year. Pursuant
to the Company’s accounting policy, these zero interest amounts are considered to be financing items in nature and are assigned
a deemed interest rate (1% per month). The interest incurred on these is expensed as imputed interest; instead of increasing the liabilities
of the Company, imputed interest expense is allocated to equity under the financial statement line item additional paid-in capital.
The Company’s zero interest instruments were as follows as at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

to repay these old accounts payable and zero interest promissory notes.
Professional Fees
Professional
fees expense consists of consulting and advisory fees of certain professionals retained, audit fees, legal fees and stock-based compensation
for options granted to professionals. By component of professional fees, the variance can be seen as follows:

The
increase in professional fees for the 2020 fiscal year as compared to the prior year can be attributed to the Company granting stock-based
compensation to its service providers, as opposed to cash-based compensation. The Company increased its cash-based professional fees
by $81,000 from the prior year as a result of increased business activity in the current year, the Company’s initiatives in Singapore,
preparation of the Form S-1 Registration Statements and increased general corporate legal costs.
We
had anticipated cash-based professional fees to increase for the 2020 fiscal year as compared to the 2019 fiscal year, as in the prior
year we benefited from the timing of certain professional engagements, which had limited
expense in the 2019
fiscal year. For 2021, we expect the cash-based professional fees to increase as compared to the 2020 fiscal year, as we anticipate retaining
additional professionals to support commercialization and financing initiatives; however, this could vary significantly if business milestones
are reached.

The
Company has a severe working capital deficiency. It does not have the ability to service its current liabilities for the next twelve
months and is reliant on its line of credit facilities to meet its ongoing operations. Until the Company has revenue-producing activities
that exceed its operating requirements, it will be unable to service its current liabilities and the working capital deficit will continue
to increase. As of the date of this report, the Company has commenced minimal revenue-generating activities. The Company is expecting
to continue generating revenues in Singapore during the 2021 and 2022 fiscal years; however, the amount and timing are uncertain. The
revenues generated in 2021 and 2022 from its operations in Singapore are not expected to be sufficient to finance the ongoing operations
of the business and repay the current liabilities. The Company is also evaluating opportunities for its Pet GluCurve product, the timing
and amount of revenues from which are uncertain. The Company is seeking to complete its Rights Offering that would provide additional
financing of $5,051,000, which is significantly less than the current liabilities outstanding. There is substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to repay its current liabilities in the near term or any time in the future, which could ultimately lead to business failure.
Current Assets
The
Company’s nominal current assets as at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consist of cash and prepaid expenses.

The
Company has current liabilities of $23,350,000 at September 30, 2021, as compared to $21,889,000 at December 31, 2020. Current

The
fluctuations in accounts payable occurred in the regular course of business. Accounts payable of $194,000 was extinguished from the issuance
of shares of common stock.
The
increase in interest payable relates to:
|
·
|
$396,000 of accrued interest
incurred on promissory notes at their stated rates of interest;
|
|
·
|
$11,000 for the reclassification
from promissory notes to arm’s length parties to interest payable; and
|
|
·
|
$3,000 extinguished from
the issuance of shares of common stock.
|
All of
the promissory notes and related interest payable is overdue.
The
increase in the lines of credit payable of $1,146,000 is attributable to borrowings of:
|
·
|
$554,000 to fund operations, product development activities,
overhead, and its sales and marketing program;
|
|
·
|
$439,000 of interest repayment toward interest payable;
and
|
|
·
|
$1,031,000 of unpaid interest incurred on the principal
of the borrowed amounts.

Short- and
Long-Term Liquidity
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company does not have the current financial resources and committed financing to enable it to meet its
administrative overhead, product development budgeted costs and debt obligations over the next 12 months.
All
of the Company’s debt financing is due on demand or overdue. The Company will seek to obtain creditors’ consents to delay
repayment of these loans until it is able to replace these financings with funds generated by operations, replacement debt, or from equity
financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company is seeking to complete its Rights Offering,
there is no certainty that it will be able to do so. If the Company is not able to complete the Rights Offering, it will not have sufficient
funds to repay the debt financing past maturity and it will be due on demand. While the Company’s creditors have agreed to extend
repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. The Company has faced litigation
from creditors in the past and is currently being sued by one creditor. There is no assurance that additional creditors will not make
claims against the Company in the future. Failure to obtain either replacement financing or creditor consent to delay the repayment of
existing financing could result in the Company having to cease operations.

The
Company will continue to use the funds available from the lines of credit to cover administrative overhead and product development requirements
until such time it can establish cash flows from operations. In the next nine months, the Company anticipates the amount borrowed from
the lines of credit to increase compared to the past nine months, as it expects to commercially launch its Diabetes Management System
before December 31, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There
are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the accounting policies that are most
critical to its financial condition and results of operations and involve management’s judgment and/or evaluations of inherent
uncertain factors are as follows:
Options
and warrants issued in consideration for debt. The Company allocates the proceeds received from long-term debt between the liability
and the options and warrants issued in consideration for the debt, based on their relative fair values, at the time of issuance. The
amount allocated to the options or warrants is recorded as additional paid-in capital and as a discount to the related debt. The discount
is amortized to interest expense on a yield basis over the term of the related debt.
Stock-based
compensation. The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS
123R”). SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based
payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected
to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s financial statements. Stock-based compensation
recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of the stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest
during the period. The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent
with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of
highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected
stock price volatility assumption was determined using historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
In
July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11,
Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic
480), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this
update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features.
When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down-round feature
no longer precludes equity classification
when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements
for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no
longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down-round feature. For freestanding
equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance
with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down-round feature when it is triggered. That
effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with
embedded conversion options that have down-round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion
features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic
260). The amendments in Part II of this update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic
480 that now are presented as pending content in the Accounting Standards Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments
do not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which
is effective for the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact,
if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and
liquidity.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic
842). Topic 842 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard establishes a
right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted
basis, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with
classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. Originally, entities were required to adopt ASU
2016-02 using a modified retrospective approach, which required prior periods to be presented under this new standard with certain practical
expedients available. However, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic
842): Targeted Improvements, which allows entities the option of recognizing the
cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption while
continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company adopted Topic
842 as of January 1, 2019 which did not result in any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Issued
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact its financial statements. The Company does
not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact
on its financial position or statement of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF
CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary
description sets forth some of the general terms and provisions of our common stock. Because this is a summary description, it does not
contain all of the information that may be important to you.
For a more detailed
description of our common stock, you should refer to the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”)
and our charter and bylaws as in effect at the time of any offering. Copies of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and our Bylaws,
as amended are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
General
Under our charter,
we are authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 500,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.001 par value per share. As of December 11, 2020, there were 511,020,709 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding
and no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding. As of December 13, 2021, we had 542,716,344 shares of our common stock issued
and outstanding. Also as of December 13, 2021, there were stock options outstanding to acquire 5,497,001,500 shares of common stock.
Holders of our common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative
voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the
directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled
to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any
meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares
is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation.
Holders of common
stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In
the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets
that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having
preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption
provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
To
the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State
of Nevada (currently set forth in Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 78.195 and 78.1955), as may be amended from time to time, our Board of
Directors may create sub-classes or series of our preferred shares, and may fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences,
or other variations attached to those preferred shares. We may issue preferred shares for
such consideration as may be fixed by our Board of Directors.
Dividend Policy
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our
common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any,
to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Share Purchase Warrants and Options
As of the December
13, 2021, there were stock options outstanding to acquire 5,497,001,500 shares of common stock, and no
outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
Convertible Securities
We have not issued
any other securities convertible into shares of our common stock or granted any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our
common stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions of Nevada
Law and Our Governing Documents
Nevada Law
We
are subject to Section NRS78.411 of the NRS (“Section
78.411”). Section 78.411 generally provides that a Nevada corporation which has not “opted out” of coverage by this
section in the prescribed manner may not engage in any “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period
of two years following the date that the stockholder became an “interested stockholder” unless prior to that time the Board
of Directors of the corporation approved either the “combination” or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming
an “interested stockholder.”
In
general, Section 78.411 prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in “business combination” transactions
with any “interested stockholder” for a period of two years following the time that the stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless:
|
●
|
prior to the time the stockholder
became an interested stockholder, either the applicable business combination or the transaction
which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors;
|
|
●
|
at or subsequent to the
time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board
of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 60% of the outstanding
voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
|
A
“business combination” is defined to include, in general and subject to exceptions, a merger of the corporation with the
interested stockholder; a sale of 5% or more of the market value of the corporation’s consolidated assets to the interested stockholder;
certain transactions that result in the issuance of the corporation’s stock to the interested stockholder; a transaction that has
the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the corporation’s stock owned by the interested stockholder; and any receipt
by the interested stockholder of loans, guarantees or other financial benefits provided by the corporation. An “interested stockholder”
is defined to include, in general and subject to exceptions, a person that (1) owns outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (2)
is an officer, director, or employee of the corporation; or (3) an acquiring person at any time within the prior two year period. A Nevada
corporation may opt out of Section 78.411 with an express provision in its original articles of incorporation or by an amendment to its
articles of incorporation or bylaws expressly electing not to be governed by Section 78.411 and approved by a majority of its outstanding
voting shares. We have not opted out of Section 78.411. As a result, Section 78.411 could
delay, deter or prevent a merger, change of control or other takeover of our company that
our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium being paid over
the market price of our common stock, and may also limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for our common stock.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
The
ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board to issue one or more series of preferred stock with
voting or other rights or preferences. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes
in control or management of our company.
Requirements for Advance Notification
of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our
bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors,
other than nominations made by or at the direction of our Board or a committee of our Board.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent;
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Our
stockholders may take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting as provided in our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that certain procedures,
including notifying our Board and awaiting a record date, must be followed
for stockholders
to act by written consent. A special meeting of our stockholders may be called only by our Board, the Chairman of our Board, the Chief
Executive Officer or the President. A special meeting may also be called at the request
of stockholders holding a majority of the aggregate number of shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled
to vote at that meeting (subject to certain timeliness and content requirements of the demand).
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws
Our
charter may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the aggregate number of shares of each class of our capital stock issued
and outstanding after a resolution of our Board declaring the advisability of such amendment has been adopted in accordance with Nevada
law. Our bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the aggregate number
of shares of each class of our capital stock issued and outstanding (and entitled to vote on the subject matter) present in person or
represented by proxy at a meeting of stockholders provided that notice thereof is stated in the written notice of the meeting. Our bylaws
may also be amended by a majority of our Board in accordance with Nevada law and our charter.
Forum Selection
Unless
our Board acting on behalf of the Company selects an alternative forum, the Nevada District Court (or, if the Nevada
District Court does not have jurisdiction, another state court located within the State of Nevada or,
if no court located within the State of Nevada has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Nevada) shall
be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting
a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to the Company or our stockholders, (iii)
any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision
of the NRS, our charter or our bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any of our directors, officers or other
employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Nevada, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal
jurisdiction over all indispensable parties named as defendants.
If
any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the immediately preceding paragraph is filed in a court other than a court
located within the State of Nevada in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder will be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Nevada in connection with any action brought in any such court
to enforce the exclusive forum provision (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder
in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the action outside of the State of Nevada as agent
for such stockholder.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The
following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the receipt and exercise of the subscription
rights acquired through the rights offering and the ownership and disposition of shares
of our common stock received upon exercise of the subscription rights.
This
summary deals only with subscription rights acquired through the rights offering, shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise of
subscription rights and assumes that the subscription rights or shares of common stock issued
upon exercise of the subscription rights will be held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion
does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to such beneficial owners in light of their personal
circumstances. This discussion also does not address tax consequences to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including,
without limitation, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, grantor trusts, tax-exempt organizations,
employee stock purchase plans, partnerships and other pass-through entities, persons holding shares of common stock as part of a hedging,
integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, financial institutions, brokers, dealers in securities or currencies,
traders that elect to mark-to-market their securities, persons that acquired shares of common stock in connection with employment or
other performance of services, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. holders (as defined below) that have a functional
currency other than the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates and foreign holders. In addition, the discussion does not describe any tax consequences
arising out of the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, or any U.S. federal tax considerations other than income taxation
(such as Medicare contribution taxation or estate or gift taxation).
Furthermore,
the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, and regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions
thereunder, as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified, perhaps retroactively. We
have not sought, and will not seek, any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the matters
discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take positions
concerning the tax consequences of the receipt and ownership of the subscription rights acquired through the rights offering and the
ownership of shares of common stock received upon exercise of the subscription rights that are different from those discussed below.
As
used herein, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of subscription rights or shares of common stock that is for U.S. federal
income tax purposes:
●
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
●
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
●
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
●
a trust (a) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S.
persons as described in the Code have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) that has a valid election in
effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
As
used herein, a “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner (other than an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder.
If
any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a beneficial owner of subscription
rights or shares of common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner
and the activities of the partnership. Holders that are partnerships (and partners in such partnerships) are urged to consult their own
tax advisors.
HOLDERS
OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS
TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AND THE CONSEQUENCES UNDER FEDERAL
ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS,
FOREIGN, STATE, AND LOCAL LAWS AND TAX
TREATIES OF RECEIVING, OWNING AND EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND ACQUIRING, HOLDING
AND DISPOSING OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders
Taxation
of Subscription Rights
Receipt
of Subscription Rights. Although the authorities governing the rights offering are complex and do not speak directly to the consequences
of certain aspects of the rights offering, we believe your receipt of subscription rights pursuant to the rights offering with respect
to your shares of our common stock should be treated as a nontaxable distribution with respect to such shares of our common stock for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under Section 305(a) of the Code, a corporation’s distribution of stock rights to stockholders
is generally tax-free. Section 305(b) of the Code, however, provides certain instances where a distribution of stock rights is taxable
to stockholders. One such instance is a “disproportionate distribution” in which a distribution or a series of distributions,
including deemed distributions, has the result of (1) the receipt of cash or non-stock property by some stockholders or holders of debt
instruments convertible into stock, and (2) an increase in the proportionate interest of other stockholders in the assets or earnings
and profits of the corporation. During the last 36 months, we have not made any distributions of cash or non-stock property with respect
to our common stock. In addition, within the last 36 months, we have not made any payments in cash or non-stock property of interest
on previously outstanding convertible notes or of dividends or previously outstanding preferred stock. Currently, we do not have any
convertible debt or preferred stock outstanding, nor do we currently intend to issue any convertible debt or preferred stock or pay any
dividends on our common stock (other than the issuance of the subscription rights in connection with this offering), but there is no
guarantee that we will not do so. While the application of this rule is very complex and subject to uncertainty, we believe that the
distribution of the subscription rights hereunder does not result in an increase to any stockholder’s proportionate interest in
our earnings and profits or assets. Accordingly, we believe that pursuant to Section 305 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder, the receipt of subscription rights with respect to shares of our common stock should generally not be taxable to our holders
of shares of our common stock.
Our
position regarding the tax-free treatment of the subscription rights distribution is not binding on the IRS, or the courts. If this
position is finally determined by the IRS or a court to be incorrect, whether on the basis that the issuance of the subscription
rights is a “disproportionate distribution” or otherwise, the fair market value of the subscription rights would be taxable
to holders of our common stock as a dividend to the extent of the holder’s pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings
and profits, if any. Any excess would be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to
the extent of your adjusted basis in your shares of our common stock and then as capital gain from the sale or exchange of your shares
of our common stock. Although no assurance can be given, it is anticipated that we will not have current or accumulated earnings and
profits through the end of 2021.
The
discussion below assumes that the receipt of subscription rights with respect to your shares of our common stock will be treated as a
nontaxable distribution.
Tax
Basis and Holding Period of Subscription Rights.
Your tax basis of the subscription rights you receive with respect to your shares of commons
stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on the fair market value of the subscription rights you receive and the fair market
value of your existing shares of common stock on the date you receive the subscription rights.
Section
307(b) of the Code provides that if the fair market value of the subscription rights you receive is less than 15% of the fair market
value of your existing shares of common stock on the date you receive the subscription rights, the subscription rights will be allocated
a zero basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless you elect to allocate your basis in your existing shares of common stock between
your existing shares of common stock and the subscription rights in proportion to the relative fair market values of the existing shares
of common stock and the subscription rights determined on the date of receipt of the subscription rights. If you choose to allocate basis
between your existing shares of common stock and the subscription rights, you must make this election on a statement included with your
timely filed tax return (including extensions) for the taxable year in which you receive the subscription rights. Such an election is
irrevocable.
However,
if the fair market value of the subscription rights you receive is 15% or more of the fair market value of your existing shares of common
stock on the date you receive the subscription rights, then you must allocate your basis in your existing shares of common stock between
your existing shares of common stock and the subscription rights you receive in proportion to their fair market values determined on
the date you receive the subscription rights.
The
fair market value of the subscription rights on the date that the subscription rights are distributed is uncertain, and we have not obtained,
and do not intend to obtain, an appraisal of the fair market value of the subscription rights on that date. In determining the fair market
value of the subscription rights, you should consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including any difference between the
subscription price of the subscription rights and the trading price of our shares of common stock on the date that the subscription
rights are distributed, the length of the period during which the subscription rights may be exercised and the fact that the subscription
rights are non- transferable.
Your
holding period of the subscription rights will include
your holding period of the shares of common stock with respect to which the subscription rights were distributed.
Exercise
of Subscription Rights. You generally will not recognize gain or loss on the exercise of a subscription right received with respect
to your shares of common stock.
Your
tax basis in a share of common stock acquired through
exercise of a subscription right will equal the sum of (1) the subscription price and (2) your tax basis, if any,
in the subscription right as determined above.
The
holding period of a share of common stock acquired through exercise of a subscription right will begin on the date the subscription right
is exercised.
If
you exercise a subscription right received in the rights offering after disposing of the common stock with respect to which such subscription
right is received, then certain aspects of the tax treatment of the exercise of the subscription
right are unclear, including (1) the allocation of tax basis between the common stock previously sold and the subscription right, (2)
the impact of such allocation on the amount and timing of gain or loss recognized with respect to the common stock previously sold, and
(3) the impact of such allocation on the tax basis of common stock acquired through exercise of the subscription right. If you exercise
a subscription right received in the rights offering after disposing of the common stock with respect to which the subscription right
is received, you should consult with your tax advisor.
Expiration
of Subscription Rights. If you allow subscription rights received in the rights offering with respect to your shares of common stock
to expire, you should not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any portion of the tax basis in your existing
shares of common stock previously allocated to the subscription rights that have expired will be reallocated to the existing shares of
common stock.
Taxation
of Shares of Common Stock
Distributions.
Distributions with respect to shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of subscription rights will be taxable as dividend income
when actually or constructively received to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. To the extent that the amount of a distribution exceeds our current
and accumulated earnings and profits, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your adjusted
tax basis in such shares of common stock and thereafter as capital gain.
Dispositions.
If you sell or otherwise dispose of shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of subscription rights, you will
generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your adjusted tax basis in the
shares of common stock. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for the shares of common
stock is more than one year. Long-term capital gain of an individual, estate or trust is
generally taxed at favorable rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
You
may be subject to information reporting and/or backup
withholding with respect to dividend payments on or the gross proceeds from the disposition of our shares of common stock acquired through
the exercise of subscription rights. Backup withholding may apply under certain circumstances if you (i) fail to furnish your social
security or other taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), (ii) furnish an incorrect TIN, (iii) fail to report interest or
dividends properly, or (iv) fail to provide a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that the TIN provided is correct,
that you are not subject to backup withholding and that you are a U.S. person on IRS Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9. Any amount
withheld from a payment under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit against (and may entitle you to a refund with
respect to) your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Certain persons
are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and financial institutions. You are
urged to consult your own tax advisor as to your qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining
such exemption.
Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
Taxation
of the Subscription Rights
Receipt,
Exercise and Expiration of the Subscription Rights. The discussion assumes that the receipt of Subscription Rights will be treated
as a nontaxable distribution. See “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders – Taxation of Subscription Rights – Receipts of
Subscription Rights” above. You will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (or any withholding thereof) on the receipt, exercise
or expiration of the Subscription Rights.
Taxation
of Distributions on Common Shares
Any
distributions of cash or property made with respect to our common stock generally will be subject to withholding tax to the extent paid
out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if any, at a rate of 30% (or
a lower rate prescribed in an applicable income tax treaty). In order to obtain
a reduced withholding tax rate, if applicable, you will be required to provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable,
certifying your entitlement to benefits under a treaty. In addition, you will not be subject to withholding tax if you provide an IRS
Form W-8ECI certifying that the distributions are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States
(and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment within the United States); instead,
you generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, with respect to such income at the same rates applicable
to U.S. persons, and if you are a corporation, a “branch profits tax” of 30% (or a lower rate prescribed in an applicable
income tax treaty) also may apply to such effectively connected income. Non-U.S. Holders may be required to periodically update their
IRS Forms W-8.
Sale
or Other Disposition of Our Common Stock
In
general, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on a sale of shares of our common stock unless:
|
·
|
the
gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies,
is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States);
|
|
·
|
you
are an individual, you hold your Subscription Rights, shares of common stock as capital assets, you are present in the United States
for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or
|
|
·
|
we
are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes
unless an exception for 5% or less shareholders applies.
|
A
gain that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if an income tax treaty applies,
is attributable to a permanent establishment within the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain
deductions, at the same rates applicable to U.S. persons. If you are a corporation, a “branch profits tax” of 30% (or a lower
rate prescribed in an applicable income tax treaty) also may apply to such effectively connected gain.
A
domestic corporation is treated as a USRPHC if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50%
of the sum of (1) the fair market value of its United States real property interests, (2) the fair market value of its non-United
States real property interests and (3) the fair market value of any other of its assets which are used or held for use in a trade
or business. We believe that we are not currently, and have not been within the relevant testing period, a USRPHC. However, no assurance
can be given that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. If we are a USRPHC or become a USRPHC in the future, a Non-U.S. Holder may
still not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a sale or other disposition if an exception for 5% or less shareholders applies. You
are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations that could result if we are, or become,
a USRPHC and with respect to the exception for 5% or less shareholders.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
Distributions
on our common stock and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to such distributions will generally be subject to information
reporting. If you comply with certification procedures to establish that you are not a U.S. person, additional information reporting
and backup withholding should not apply to distributions on our common stock and information reporting and backup withholding should
not apply to the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock. The amount of any backup withholding will generally
be allowed as a refund or credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished
to the IRS.
FACTA
Sections
1471 through 1474 of the Code (provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA”) generally
impose an additional withholding tax on certain types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other
non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on dividends on, or
gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, shares of common stock paid to a foreign financial institution or to a non-financial
foreign entity, unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial
foreign entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial
U.S. owner, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these
rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution, and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i) above,
it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by
certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments
to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements. Current IRS guidance delays the
implementation of withholding under FATCA with respect to payments of gross proceeds from
a sale or other disposition of shares of common stock until after December 31, 2018.
THE PRECEDING
