SECUREALERT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


(1)           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of SecureAlert, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SecureAlert”) has been prepared in accordance with the Instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014, and results of its operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014.

(2)           PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SecureAlert and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(3)           RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies, which are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

(4)           IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable and in the case of goodwill, at least annually. The Company evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment as of each balance sheet date. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.  Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there is an identifiable fair value that is independent of other groups of assets.  The Company recorded $75,000 and $150,000 of impairment expenses related to monitoring equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded $150,000 and $300,000 of impairment expenses related to monitoring equipment for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(5)           ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The Chilean Peso is the functional currency of the operating subsidiary SecureAlert Chile, SpA. The balance sheet of SecureAlert Chile has been translated into United States Dollars (USD) at the exchange rate prevailing at March 31, 2014. Additionally, the average exchange rates prevailing during the six months ended March 31, 2014 had an immaterial effect on the statements of operations. Comprehensive loss includes net loss as currently reported under U.S. GAAP and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss considers the effects of additional economic events, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, that are not required to be recorded in determining net loss, but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

(7)           NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock.  As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 453,151 and 4,334,688 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.  No reconciliation for discontinued operations was provided since the impact was immaterial. The common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following:

The Company granted warrants to purchase 27,700 and 64,984 shares of common stock during the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  These warrants vested immediately and expire two years from grant date.  The Company recorded $160,862 and $53,188 of expense for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $106,915 and $53,188 of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the issuance and vesting of all stock options and warrants.  As of March 31, 2014, $11,878 of compensation expense associated with unvested stock options and warrants issued previously to employees will be recognized over the remaining fiscal year.

The option and warrant grants for six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected life of stock options (warrants) represents the period of time that the stock options or warrants are expected to be outstanding based on the simplified method allowed under GAAP. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the related stock options (warrants). The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividends over the expected life of the stock options (warrants).

Legal Matters

Lazar Leybovich et al v. SecureAlert, Inc.  On March 29, 2012, Lazar Leybovich, Dovie Leybovich and Ben Leybovich filed a complaint in the 11th Circuit Court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida alleging breach of contract with regard to certain Stock Redemption Agreements.  The complaint was subsequently withdrawn by the plaintiffs.  An amended complaint was filed by the plaintiffs on November 15, 2012.  The Company believes these allegations are inaccurate and intend to defend the case vigorously. The Company has not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation with legal counsel.
 
Larry C. Duggan v. Court Programs of Florida, Inc. and SecureAlert, Inc.  On March 26, 2012, Mr. Duggan filed a complaint in the 9th Circuit Court in and for Orange County, Florida alleging malicious prosecution, abuse of process and negligent infliction of emotional distress against the Company and its former subsidiary.  The case resulted from actions of a former agent of the subsidiary.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. The Company has not accrued any potential loss as the probability of incurring a material loss is deemed remote by management, after consultation with legal counsel.
 
Integratechs v. SecureAlert, Inc.  On March 14, 2013, Integratechs, Inc. filed a suit in the Fourth Judicial District Court of Utah County, claiming the Company had breached a contract for computer services and intentionally interfered with its economic relations.  The parties reached a settlement in March 2014, and the Company agreed to pay $20,000 to Integratechs; neither party admitted any wrongdoing or liability and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice.

Christopher P. Baker v. SecureAlert, Inc.  In February 2013, Mr. Baker filed suit against the Company in the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake County, State of Utah.  Mr. Baker asserts that the Company breached a 2006 consulting agreement with him and claims damages of not less than $210,000.  The Company disputes the plaintiff’s claims and will defend the case vigorously.  No accrual for a potential loss has been made as management believes the probability of incurring a material loss is remote.
 
SecureAlert, Inc. v. STOP, LLC.  On December 17, 2013, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Utah, Central Division against Satellite Tracking of People, LLC (a.k.a. STOP, LLC) asserting claims for declaratory relief, reimbursement for overpayment and unjust enrichment related to a Settlement Agreement entered into by and between the Company and STOP, effective January 29, 2010.  On February 14, 2014, STOP filed an answer denying our claims and asserted counterclaims for breach of contract against the Company related to the same Settlement Agreement.  On March 1, 2014, the parties entered into a Supplemental Settlement Agreement that included a stipulation and dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in this litigation.  Under the terms of the settlement, both parties restructured their relationship and provided reciprocal licenses for all patents listed in the Settlement Agreement effective January 29, 2010.  In addition, each party provided the other with a reciprocal license for future patents awarded the respective party, but excluding patents held by or acquired by SecureAlert related to: (i) GPS or cellular tracking by a device not attached to a person’s limb, (ii) related to alcohol/drug monitoring, (iii) any patent held by an entity acquired by SecureAlert for so long as that entity is paying or owes STOP a royalty or fee until such time as any royalty or fee is no longer owed to STOP, unless STOP already has a right to those patents, and (iv) any patent not used in the electronic monitoring and tracking services, using cellular and/or GPS technologies, for governmental law enforcement agencies (e.g. offender tracking).  In addition, the Company agreed to pay STOP a total of $4,500,000 in 24 equal monthly installments of $187,500 in exchange for the granting of a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free license to certain patents held by STOP. 
 
The parties also agreed that if the Company pays in full the above amounts they shall have no further payment obligations under the prior agreement and will receive a fully paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual, and royalty-free license to the STOP Patents. This includes additional patents that were not in the prior agreement. Based on the terms of the agreement, the Company has accounted for this agreement as a separate transaction and as such removed prior accrued royalty amounts into current operations. If the Company does not make the required payments under the current agreement STOP shall have the right to seek enforcement of the royalty and payment obligations of the Company under the prior agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall receive partial credit for all prior payments made. The Company has made the first two installment payments under the agreement as of March 31, 2014.
 
SecureAlert, Inc. v. Derrick Brooks and STOP, LLC.  On February 21, 2014, the Company filed a complaint in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, against Derrick Brooks and STOP, asserting claims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, tortious interference with prospective economic relations, tortious interference with contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, injurious falsehood/trade libel/business disparagement, defamation, respondeat superior, injunctive relief and punitive damages.  On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with STOP and all of the claims between the Company and STOP in the litigation have been dismissed with prejudice.  On April 9, 2014, Mr. Brooks filed an answer denying the Company’s claims and asserting counterclaims for constructive discharge, interference with contract, interference with prospective economic relations and blacklisting.  In his counterclaim, Mr. Brooks seeks to recover “not less than $150,000” on each of his claims.  The Company has not yet responded to Mr. Brooks’ counterclaims, but management believes them to be without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend against them.

Forward-looking Statements

This Report contains information that constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”).  Generally, the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical can be considered to be “forward-looking statements.”  These statements represent our expectations, hopes, beliefs, anticipations, commitments, intentions, and strategies regarding the future.  They may be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “should,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” and “will,” among others.  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial performance, revenue, and expense levels in the future and the sufficiency of our existing assets to fund future operations and capital spending needs.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and those described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are contained in this Report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this Report. Except as otherwise indicated, as used in this Report, the terms “the Company,” “SecureAlert,” “we,” “our,” “us,” refer to SecureAlert, Inc., a Utah corporation.
 
General

We market and deploy offender management programs, combining patented GPS tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 intervention-based monitoring capabilities and case management services.  Our vision is to be the global market leader for delivering the most reliable offender management solutions, which leverage superior intervention capabilities and integrated communication technologies.  We believe that we currently deliver the only offender management technology, which effectively integrates GPS, RF and an interactive 3-way voice communication system into a single piece device, deployable worldwide.  Through our patented electronic monitoring technologies and services, we empower law enforcement, corrections and rehabilitation professionals with offender, defendant, probationer and parolee programs, which grant convicted criminals and pre-trial suspects an accountable opportunity to be “free from prison”.  This provides for greater public safety at a lower cost compared to incarceration or traditional resource-intensive alternatives.

Strategy

Our global growth strategy is to empower worldwide national security officials, law enforcement, corrections departments and rehabilitation professionals with single-sourced offender management solutions, which integrate reliable intervention technologies supporting re-socialization or mandated monitoring initiatives.  The use of our interactive services and intervention products is intended to provide law enforcement and judiciaries alike, with the ability to provide offenders a level of unmatched “real-time” accountability, while preserving public safety costs that are lower than with the cost of traditional incarceration or other transitional service offerings.

 
18

 
 
We intend to accomplish our global strategy through the “value-driven” yet profitable deployment of a portfolio of proprietary and non-proprietary GPS/RF real-time monitoring and intervention products and services, which can also include alcohol and drug tracking and testing on behalf of corrections, probation, law enforcement and rehabilitation personnel worldwide, all in support of offender reformation, re-socialization and recidivism reduction initiatives.

We will continue to innovate, develop and deploy adaptive, cost-effective and reliable interactive technologies, which meet the ever-changing needs of our global clients, while providing value-driven and enhanced public safety services.  Our goal is to continue to manufacture proprietary technologies, while also procuring complementary, best-in-class technologies through world-class companies such as Alcohol Monitoring Services (AMS), which markets SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring devices and/or 3M, which markets the E3 Presence Monitoring, MEMS Alcohol Monitoring and TRaCE Inmate Tracking products.

In summary, SecureAlert is committed to delivering a superior proprietary and non-proprietary portfolio of reliable, intervention monitoring products and services for the global offender management marketplace, where we are currently targeting pilots and deployments throughout the world in various regions (North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australasia, Africa and Europe).

Critical Accounting Policies

From time to time, management reviews and evaluates certain accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial position.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We assess the reasonableness of our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience as well as available current information on a regular basis.  Management uses this information to form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of Operations

Continuing Operations - Three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to three months ended March 31, 2013

Revenues

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized revenues from operations of $2,455,789, compared to $4,808,324 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $2,352,535 (49%).  Of these revenues, $2,309,864 and $4,643,071, respectively, were from monitoring and other related services, a decrease of $2,333,207 (50%).  The decrease was the result of the completion of a contract with an international customer.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, international revenue was $728,443, compared to $3,029,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $2,300,996 (76%); the decrease in total revenue was due to the completion of a contract with an international customer.

Product revenues decreased $19,328 (12%) from $165,253 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $145,925 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cost of Revenues

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cost of revenues totaled $1,093,767 compared to cost of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $2,043,070, a decrease of $949,303.  The decrease in cost of revenues in 2014 resulted primarily from decreases of $503,420 in royalty payments; $200,269 in commissions and a decrease in depreciation of $145,715 related to international sales.

Depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $191,823 and $343,835, respectively. Depreciation costs are based on a three-year useful life for TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices.  Devices that are leased or retained by us for future deployment or sale are depreciated over three years.  The Company believes this three-year life is appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence.  Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness.

The Company expects the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues to decrease in the foreseeable future due to economies of scale realized through projected increases in revenues, further development of our proprietary software, enabling each operator to monitor more devices resulting in lower monitoring center costs, and the use of more efficient supply channels.

Gross Profit and Margin

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, gross profit totaled $1,362,022, or 55% of net revenues compared to $2,765,254, or 58% of net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, research and development expenses totaled $403,175 compared to research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaling $197,603, an increase of $205,572.  These research and development costs were incurred to improve efficiency in the software, firmware and hardware of our products and services including the development of our upcoming 3G electronic monitoring device.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $2,564,015 compared to $2,124,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase of $439,050 primarily resulted of an increase of legal expense ($335,381) in connection with preliminary work and preparation for a large international contract.
 
Other Income and Expense
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense was $327,367 compared to $2,358,727 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from a reduction in convertible debentures and the acceleration of certain debt conversion features into common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, other income was $624,730, compared to $175,083 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  This increase in other income resulted primarily from a settlement agreement.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaling $1,292,119 compared to a net loss of $1,638,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of  $346,666.  This decrease is a result of other income and an offset to expense recognized from a settlement agreement offset by a reduction of gross profit generated from monitoring services in connection with an international customer.  Offsetting this are increased operating expenses in connection with preliminary work and preparation for a large international contract and increased research and development expenses related to the development of our 3G electronic monitoring devices.

Cost of Revenues

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, cost of revenues totaled $2,492,596 compared to cost of revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2013 of $5,021,588, a decrease of $2,528,992.  The decrease in cost of revenues resulted primarily from decreases of $1,330,447 in royalties; $433,998 in commissions; the cost of equipment of $295,091 related to international sales and $492,321 in costs in connection with the development of a charging solution for an international customer.

Amortization for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $373,651 and $666,414, respectively. Amortization costs are based on a three-year useful life for TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices.  Devices that are leased or retained by us for future deployment or sale are amortized over three years.  The Company believes this three-year life is appropriate due to rapid changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence.  Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness.

We expect the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues to decrease in the foreseeable future due to economies of scale realized through projected increases in revenues, further development of our proprietary software, enabling each operator to monitor more devices resulting in lower monitoring center costs, and the use of more efficient supply channels.

Gross Profit and Margin

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, gross profit totaled $2,622,487, or 51% of net revenues, compared to $5,374,808, or 52% of net revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2013.
 
Research and Development Expenses

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, research and development expenses totaled $722,745 compared to research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2013 totaling $399,197.  These additional research and development costs were incurred to improve efficiency in the software, firmware and hardware of our products and services including the development of our upcoming 3G electronic monitoring device.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $4,735,423 compared to $4,162,987 for the six months ended March 31, 2013.  The increase of $572,436 is primarily the result of increases in legal and professional fees ($411,056) and travel expenses ($278,820) related to preliminary work and preparation in connection with a large international contract.

Other Income and Expense

For the six months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense was $371,285 compared to $3,201,951 for the six months ended March 31, 2013.  This decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from a reduction in convertible debentures and the acceleration of certain debt conversion features into common stock.   For the six months ended March 31, 2014, other income was $624,780 compared to $167,100 for the six months ended March 31, 2013.  This increase in other income resulted primarily from a settlement agreement.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2014 totaling $2,562,312 compared to a net loss of $2,479,623 for the six months ended March 31, 2013.  This increase primarily resulted from the reduction of gross profit generated from monitoring services in connection with an international customer. Additionally, the increase in net loss resulted from preliminary work and preparation in connection with a large international contract and the development of our 3G electronic monitoring device.  The increase in net loss was offset by the income resulting from a settlement agreement.

Discontinued Operations - Six months ended March 31, 2014, compared to six months ended March 31, 2013

Effective October 1, 2012, we sold all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of our subsidiary, Midwest, to the former principals of Midwest. Because Midwest was a component of our consolidated entity, this sale requires discontinued operations reporting treatment of the Midwest operations.

We also sold to the former principal of our wholly owned subsidiary, Court Programs, Inc., all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Court Programs, Inc. and its affiliated entities, effective January 1, 2013. Because these entities were a component of our consolidated entity, this sale requires discontinued operations reporting treatment of their operations.

A summary of the operating results of discontinued operations for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

Our business is extending to several countries outside the United States, and we intend to continue to expand our foreign operations.  As a result, our revenues and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other uncertainties inherent in doing business in more than one currency.  In addition, our operations are exposed to risks that are associated with changes in social, political, and economic conditions in the foreign countries in which we operate, including changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment, as well as, to a lesser extent, changes in United States laws and regulations relating to foreign trade and investment.

Foreign Currency Risks.  We had $1,501,573 and $6,849,146 in revenues from sources outside the United States for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Although we normally transact the sale of monitoring equipment and services in U.S. Dollars, we received some payments in an equivalent value of foreign currencies which resulted in a foreign exchange loss of $4,232 and $62,391 during the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products and purchase goods and services.  Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations, or financial condition.

We do not use foreign currency exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  To the extent foreign sales become a more significant part of our business in the future, we may seek to implement strategies which make use of these or other instruments in order to minimize the effects of foreign currency exchange on our business.

Item 4.                      Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the members of our Executive Committee (our acting principal executive officers) and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Executive Committee and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Based on this evaluation, our Executive Committee and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Controls

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed.  There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended March 31, 2014 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                      Legal Proceedings

We are party to the following legal proceedings:
 
Integratechs v. SecureAlert, Inc.  On March 14, 2013, Integratechs, Inc. filed a suit in the Fourth Judicial District Court of Utah County, claiming the Company had breached a contract for computer services and intentionally interfered with its economic relations.  The parties reached a settlement in March 2014, and agreed to pay $20,000 to Integratechs; neither party admitted any wrongdoing or liability and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice.

SecureAlert, Inc. v. STOP, LLC.  On December 17, 2013, the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Utah, Central Division against Satellite Tracking of People, LLC (a.k.a. STOP, LLC) asserting claims for declaratory relief, reimbursement for overpayment and unjust enrichment related to a Settlement Agreement entered into by and between the Company and STOP, effective January 29, 2010.  On February 14, 2014, STOP filed an answer denying our claims and asserted counterclaims for breach of contract against the Company related to the same Settlement Agreement.  On March 1, 2014, the parties entered into a Supplemental Settlement Agreement that included a stipulation and dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in this litigation.  Under the terms of the settlement, both parties restructured their relationship and provided reciprocal licenses for all patents listed in the Settlement Agreement effective January 29, 2010.  In addition each party provided the other with reciprocal license for future patents awarded the respective party, but excluding patents held by or acquired by SecureAlert related to: (i) GPS or cellular tracking by a device not attached to a person’s limb, (ii) related to alcohol/drug monitoring, (iii) any patent held by an entity acquired by SecureAlert for so long as that entity is paying or owes STOP a royalty or fee until such time as any royalty or fee is no longer owed to STOP, unless STOP already has a right to those patents, and (iv) any patent not used in the electronic monitoring and tracking services, using cellular and/or GPS technologies, for governmental law enforcement agencies (e.g. offender tracking).  In addition, the Company agreed to pay to STOP a total of $4,500,000 in 24 equal monthly installments of $187,500 in exchange for the granting of a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free license to certain patents held by STOP. 
 
SecureAlert, Inc. v. Derrick Brooks and STOP, LLC.  On February 21, 2014, the Company filed a complaint in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, against Derrick Brooks and STOP, asserting claims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, tortious interference with prospective economic relations, tortious interference with contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, injurious falsehood/trade libel/business disparagement, defamation, respondeat superior, injunctive relief and punitive damages.  On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with STOP and all of the claims between us and STOP in the litigation have been dismissed with prejudice.  On April 9, 2014, Mr. Brooks filed an answer denying the Company’s claims and asserting counterclaims for constructive discharge, interference with contract, interference with prospective economic relations and blacklisting.  In his counterclaim Mr. Brooks seeks to recover “not less than $150,000” on each of his claims.  The Company has not yet responded to Mr. Brooks’ counterclaims, but management believes them to be without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend against them. 

Item 2.                            Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the six months ended March 31, 2014, we sold the following equity securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon exemptions from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.
