TRACK GRO UP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
N OTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of Track Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Company ” or “ Track Group ”) 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, 2018, and results of its operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited 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, 2017, filed with the SEC on December 19, 2017. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.
 
As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $296,846,405 and $293,540,759, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,779,076 and $4,199,256 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company may continue to incur losses and require additional financial resources. The Company also has debt maturing in the next six months. The Company’s successful development and transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure. The Company expects to fund operations using cash on hand, through operational cash flows and the restructuring of its existing debt agreement. Management of the Company believes that the availability of financing from these sources is adequate to fund operations through the next twelve months.
 
(2)  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Track Group and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(3)  RECENT 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Recently adopted accounting standards
 
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “ Inventory (Topic 330) - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ” (“ ASU 2015-11 ”), which dictates that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 
 
Recently issued accounting standards
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment .” The new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new guidance will be effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Management does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) ” requiring the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments to conform the presentation in the statement of cash flows for certain transactions, including cash distributions from equity method investments, among others. The adoption of the new standard is required in 2019. Management does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 841) .” For lessees, the amendments in this update require that for all leases not considered to be short term, a company recognize both a lease liability and right-of-use asset on its balance sheet, representing the obligation to make payments and the right to use or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Management does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which supersedes the guidance in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) ” (“ ASU 2014-09 ”) and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company has evaluated the new standard and anticipates a change in the reporting of revenue as enhanced disclosures will be required. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact on our financial statements due to the nature of our revenue streams and our revenue recognition policy.
 
(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
 
(5)  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.
 
 
 
Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities
 
Pursuant to ASC No. 805-10-25, if the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, but during the allowed measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, by means of adjusting the amount recognized for goodwill.
 
Contingent Consideration
 
In certain acquisitions, the Company has agreed to pay additional amounts to sellers contingent upon achievement by the acquired businesses of certain future goals, which may include revenue milestones, new customer accounts, and earnings targets. The Company records contingent consideration based on its estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The Company evaluates and adjusts the value of contingent consideration, if necessary, at each reporting period based on the progress toward and likely achievement of certain targets on which issuance of the contingent consideration is based. Any differences between the acquisition-date fair value and the changes in fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are recognized in current period earnings until the arrangement is settled. If there is uncertainty surrounding the value of contingent consideration, then the Company’s policy is to wait until the end of the measurement period before making an adjustment.
 
(6)  ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) as currently reported under GAAP and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) considers the effects of additional economic events, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, that are not required to be recorded in determining net income (loss), but rather are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Chilean Peso, New Israeli Shekel and the Canadian Dollar are used as functional currencies of the following operating subsidiaries: (i) Track Group Chile SpA; (ii) Track Group International Ltd.; and (iii) Track Group Analytics Limited, respectively. The balance sheets of all subsidiaries have been converted into United States Dollars (USD) at the prevailing exchange rate at March 31, 2018.
 
(7)  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share (“ Basic EPS ”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 
Diluted net income (loss) per common share (“ Diluted EPS ”) is computed by dividing net income (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. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 573,800 and 434,419 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents outstanding as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the following:
 
 
 
March 31,
 
 
March 31,
 
 
 
2018
 
 
2017
 
Exercisable common stock options and warrants

    434,419  
Total common stock equivalents

    434,419  
 
 
 
(8)  PREPAID EXPENSE AND OTHER
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for prepaid expense and other current assets approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. As of March 31, 2018, and September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance of prepaid and other expense was $5,143,501 and $854,122, respectively. The $5,143,501 as of March 31, 2018 is comprised largely of performance bond deposits, tax deposits, vendor deposits and other prepaid supplier expense. The increase in prepaid and other expense at March 31, 2018 was primarily due to a cash collateralized performance bond for an international customer of $2,944,631, which is scheduled to be repaid in the third fiscal quarter and was re-classified as a short-term asset in the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, as well as increases in a new performance bond, prepaid taxes, vendor deposits and insurance.
 
(9)  INVENTORY
 
Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“ FIFO ”) method. Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling prices on the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete, damaged or impaired items.
 
Inventory consists of finished goods that are to be shipped to customers and parts used for minor repairs of ReliAlert TM , Shadow, and other tracking devices. Completed and shipped ReliAlert TM and other tracking devices are reflected in Monitoring Equipment. As of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively, inventory consisted of the following:

(16)  DEBT OBLIGATIONS
 
On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “ Sapinda Loan Agreement ”) with Sapinda Asia Limited (“ Sapinda ”), a related party, to provide the Company with a $5.0 million line of credit that accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum for undrawn funds, and 8% per annum for borrowed funds. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sapinda Loan Agreement, available funds may be drawn down at the Company’s request at any time prior to the maturity date of September 30, 2017 (the “ Maturity Date ”), when all borrowed funds, plus all accrued but unpaid interest will become due and payable. The Company, however, may elect to satisfy any outstanding obligations under the Sapinda Loan Agreement prior to the Maturity Date without penalties or fees.
 
 
 
On March 13, 2017 (the “ Execution Date ”), the Company and Sapinda entered into Amendment Number One to the   Sapinda Loan Agreement. Amendment Number One extends the maturity date of all loans made pursuant to the   Sapinda Loan Agreement to September 30, 2020. In addition, Amendment Number One eliminates the requirement that the Company pay Sapinda the   3%   interest, and forgives the 3% interest due to Sapinda for all undrawn funds under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement through the Execution Date. Further, Amendment Number One provides that all failure to fund penalties (“ Lender Penalties ”) accrued under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement through the Execution Date are forgiven. Per Amendment Number One, Lender Penalties shall begin to accrue again provided Sapinda has not funded the amount of $1.5 million on or before March 31, 2017. In breach of Amendment Number One, Sapinda failed to fund the $1.5 million by March 31, 2017. The Company formally notified Sapinda of the breach by letter dated April 4, 2017. The Company is again accruing Lender Penalties, amounting to $365,000 at March 31, 2018, under Section 6.3 of the   Sapinda Loan Agreement, as amended. The Company did not draw on this line of credit, nor did the Company pay any interest during the six months ended March 31, 2018. The undrawn balance of this line of credit at March 31, 2018 was $1,600,356.
 
On October 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement with Conrent regarding total debt and unpaid interest of approximately $34.7 million as of October 31, 2017 (the “ Debt ”) (the “ Debt Exchange ”) associated with the Amended and Restated Unsecured Facility Agreement dated June 30, 2015 (the “ Facility Agreement ”) between Conrent Invest S.A. and the Company. The Debt Exchange called for the Company to exchange newly issued shares of preferred stock for the entire Debt subject to approval by the investors who purchased securities from Conrent to finance the Debt (the “ Noteholders ”). On November 2, 2017, Conrent convened a meeting of the Noteholders to approve the Debt Exchange; however, the quorum required to approve the Debt Exchange was not achieved, resulting in the termination of the Debt Exchange.
 
On February 26, 2018, the Company proposed that the maturity date of the Facility Agreement be extended from July 31, 2018 to April 1, 2019. On April 26, 2018, the Noteholders approved the extension of the Facility Agreement from July 31, 2018 to April 1, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are currently under discussion by the Company and Conrent.
 
Debt obligations as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively, are comprised of the following:

A $1.2 million origination fee was paid and recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan. As of March 31, 2018, the remaining debt discount was $74,324. We did not pay interest on this loan during the six months ended March 31, 2018.

(17)  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
 Related-Party Loan Agreement
 
On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into the Sapinda Loan Agreement with Sapinda, a related party, to provide the Company with a $5.0 million line of credit that accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum for undrawn funds, and 8% per annum for borrowed funds. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sapinda Loan Agreement, available funds may be drawn down at the Company’s request at any time prior to the maturity date of September 30, 2017 (the “ Maturity Date ”), when all borrowed funds, plus all accrued but unpaid interest will become due and payable. The Company, however, may elect to satisfy any outstanding obligations under the Sapinda Loan Agreement prior to the Maturity Date without penalties or fees.
 
On March 13, 2017, the Company and Sapinda entered into Amendment Number One to the   Sapinda Loan Agreement. Amendment Number One extends the maturity date of all loans made pursuant to the   Sapinda Loan Agreement to September 30, 2020. In addition, Amendment Number One eliminates the requirement that the Company pay Sapinda the   3%   interest, and forgives the 3% interest due to Sapinda for all undrawn funds under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement through the Execution Date. Further, Amendment Number One provides that all Lender Penalties accrued under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement through the Execution Date are forgiven. Per Amendment Number One, Lender Penalties shall begin to accrue again provided Sapinda has not funded the amount of $1.5 million on or before March 31, 2017. In breach of Amendment Number One, Sapinda failed to fund the $1.5 million by March 31, 2017. The Company formally notified Sapinda of the breach by letter dated April 4, 2017. The Company is again accruing Lender Penalties, amounting to $365,000 at March 31 , 2018, under Section 6.3 of the   Sapinda Loan Agreement, as amended, and the Company intends to offset Lender Penalties against future payments due.  We did not draw on this line of credit, nor did we pay any interest during the six months ended March 31, 2018. The undrawn balance of this line of credit at March 31, 2018 was $1,600,356. Further advances under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement are not currently expected to be forthcoming, and therefore no assurances can be given that the Company will obtain additional funds to which it is entitled under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement, or that the penalties accruing will ever be paid.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, without further shareholder approval, to designate and determine, in whole or in part, the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the preferred stock before any issuance of the preferred stock, and to create one or more series of preferred stock.

(19)  STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
Stock Incentive Plan
 
At the annual meeting of shareholders on March 21, 2011, the shareholders approved the 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “ 2012 Plan ”). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and performance-based awards to employees and certain non-employees who provide services to the Company in lieu of cash. A total of 90,000 shares were initially authorized for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2012 Plan. At the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders held on May 19, 2015, our stockholders approved a 713,262 share increase to the total number of shares authorized under the 2012 Plan.  Warrants for Board members vest immediately and warrants issued to employees vest annually over either a two or three-year period after the grant date. 
 
As of March 31, 2018, 27,218 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2012 Plan.
 
All Options and Warrants
 
On November 30, 2017, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the adjustment of the exercise price of 605,678 unexercised warrants, with original exercise prices ranging from $1.81 to $19.46, issued under the 2012 Plan to $1.24, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation of $149,088, which was expensed in the six-month period ending March 31, 2018.
 
On January 26, 2017, the Board of Directors unanimously approved the adjustment of the exercise price of 65,617 unexercised warrants, with original exercise prices ranging from $1.43 to $7.20, issued under the 2012 Plan to $1.15 and held by a member of the Company’s Board of Directors whose unexercised warrants were not repriced along with those that were adjusted on November 30, 2017, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation of $12,530, which was expensed in the three-month period ending March 31, 2018.
 
 
 
The fair value of each stock option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. During the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 30,797 and 125,073 options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock under the 2012 Plan. The warrants for Board members vest immediately and expire five years from grant date and warrants or options issued to employees vest annually over either a two to three-year period and expire five years after the final vesting date of the grant. The Company recorded expense of $195,760 and $139,092 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to the issuance and vesting of outstanding stock options and warrants.
 
The option and warrant grants for three months ended March 31, 2018 were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
 
 
Six Months Ended
March 31
 
 
 
  2018
 
 
  2017
 
Expected stock price volatility
    102 %
    119 %
Risk-free interest rate
    2.09 %
    0.60 %
Expected life of options/warrants
 
5 Years
 
 
2 Years
 
 
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).

(20)  INCOME TAXES
 
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, when incurred, are classified in interest expense and income tax provision, respectively.
 
For the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred a net loss for income tax purposes of $2,779,076 and $4,199,256, respectively. The amount and ultimate realization of the benefits from the net operating losses is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company’s future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. The Company has established a valuation allowance for all deferred income tax assets not offset by deferred income tax liabilities due to the uncertainty of their realization. Accordingly, there is no benefit for income taxes in the accompanying statements of operations.
 
In computing income tax, we recognize an income tax provision in tax jurisdictions in which we have pre-tax income for the period and are expecting to generate pre-tax book income during the fiscal year.

On May 2, 2016, the Court resolved this case in favor of the Company by granting the Company’s motion for Summary Judgment. The Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal on June 1, 2016 challenging the Court’s ruling on the motion for Summary Judgment. Plaintiff’s appeal succeeded and will result in a trial occurring within the next four to eight months. We intend to defend the case vigorously.
 
Boggs et al. v. Judicial Electronic Monitoring, SecureAlert, Inc. et al.   On December 3, 2015, Candace Boggs et al. filed a complaint in the State Court of Dougherty County, Georgia, alleging breach of contract and negligence in monitoring of certain offenders in Dougherty County, Georgia, as well as a request for punitive damages. Plaintiffs withdrew their complaint in February 2016, but refiled the complaint on October 12, 2016. The Company’s motion for Summary Judgment was denied on February 27, 2017 and a Notice of Appeal was filed by The Company’s counsel on April 15, 2017. Oral arguments took place on December 13, 2017 regarding a new statute which exempts providers of electronic pretrial release and monitoring services from civil liability for the criminal acts of the defendants it monitors. A ruling should be issued before the end of July 2018. We believe the allegations are inaccurate and are defending the case vigorously. We believe the probability of incurring a material loss to be remote.
 
Track Group, Inc. v. I.C.S. of the Bahamas Co. Ltd.   On May 18, 2016, the Company filed a complaint in the District Court of the Third Judicial District in Salt Lake County, Utah alleging breach of contract, under the terms of a loan agreement and promissory note between the Company and I.C.S. of the Bahamas Co. Ltd (“ ICS ”). The Company’s damages of unpaid principal and interest on the Promissory Note are in the amount of $230,000, plus per annum interest. The Defendant’s initial Counterclaims were dismissed; however, the Court granted the Defendant leave to amend. The Amended Counter Claims were filed on June 23, 2017. The Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Amended Counterclaims was denied on September 19, 2017. The Company filed an Answer to the Amended Counterclaims on October 3, 2017. Depositions have taken place for both parties. The discovery period is scheduled to end in the near future, after which counsel will prepare a motion for Summary Judgment. We believe we will be successful in this action for amounts owed under the loan agreement and promissory note; however, the Company may encounter problems enforcing a favorable judgment in the foreign jurisdiction where ICS resides.
 
 
 
Track Group Inc. v. I.C.S. of the Bahamas Co. Ltd.   On September 26, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Arbitration with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, alleging breach of contract by ICS. Under the terms of the Commercial and Monitoring Representative Agreement dated November 30, 2010 (the “ C&M Agreement ”) by and between the Company and ICS, any dispute must be resolved by binding arbitration. The Company asserts that ICS has failed to pay the Company fees owed to it under the C&M Agreement. The amount owed to the Company is approximately $1.0 million. Depositions were completed in August of 2017. The arbitration hearing took place on January 31, 2018. The arbitrator requested legal briefings after the hearing which were submitted in March 2018. The Company awaits a decision from the arbitrator. The Company is confident it will be successful in the arbitration; however, the Company may encounter problems enforcing a successful arbitration award in the foreign jurisdiction where ICS resides.
 
John Merrill v. Track Group, Inc. and Guy Dubois.   On November 30, 2016, the Company was served with a complaint filed by John Merrill, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in District Court of the Third Judicial District in Salt Lake County, Utah alleging breach of contract, among other causes of action, related to Mr. Merrill’s termination of employment.

The court held an oral hearing on the Company’s motion for Summary Judgment on April 25, 2018. A ruling should be made within 30 days from the hearing. We intend to defend the case vigorously and believe the allegations and claims are without merit.
 
Michael Anthony Johnson v. Community Corrections of Marion County and Track Group, Inc.   On February 28, 2017, the Company was notified that Mr. Johnson, the Plaintiff, had filed a  pro se  complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, asserting violations of his rights under 28 U.S.C. Sec.1331. Mr. Johnson alleges damages of at least $250,000. The Company filed a motion for Summary Judgment on January 24, 2018. The Plaintiff was granted additional time to conduct discovery. We believe the allegations and claims are unfounded and without merit. We will defend the case vigorously and believe the probability of incurring a material loss to be remote.
 
SecureAlert, Inc. v. Federal Government of Mexico (Department of the Interior).   On March 24, 2017, SecureAlert Inc. filed a complaint before the Federal Administrative Tribunal, asserting the failure by Defendants to pay claimant amounts agreed to, and due under, the Pluri Annual Contract for the Rendering of Monitoring Services of Internees, through Electric Bracelets, in the Islas Marias Penitentiary Complex dated July 15, 2011, entered into by and between the Organo Administrativo Desconcentrado Prevencion y Readaptacion Social of the then Public Security Department, and presently, an agency of the National Security Commission of the Department of the Interior, and SecureAlert, Inc., presently Track Group, Inc. The Company’s claim amount is upwards of $6.0 million. On March 28, 2017, the Federal Administrative Tribunal rejected our claim, based on its determination that this case should be resolved by a Civil Court and not by the Federal Administrative Tribunal. For that reason, on April 25, 2017, the Company filed an appeal before the Collegiate Tribunals against the decision of the Federal Administrative Tribunal. The Tribunal ruled the claims should be resolved in the Civil Court. Following that ruling the Supreme Court took action to resolve the conflicting precedent regarding the jurisdiction of such claims and determined that such claims will be resolved by the Federal Administrative Tribunal. Counsel is studying the case to determine where the claim should be resolved.
 
Inversiones Tecnologicas SpA v. Track Group Chile SpA.  On October 10, 2014, Inversiones Tecnologicas SpA (a.k.a. Position) filed a complaint before the Civil Court of Santiago, in order to collect $1.0 million of fees for alleged services rendered with occasion of the public tender for the adjudication of the contract ID 634-66-LP13 labeled “Telematics Surveillance of Convicts.” On April 13, 2017, the Court issued its decision, rejecting the Plaintiff’s claim, under the consideration that insufficient evidence of a service agreement between Track Group Chile SpA (formerly Secure Alert Chile SpA) and Inversiones Tecnologicas SpA, was submitted to the Court. Moreover, the fact that Secure Alert Chile SpA was incorporated after the facts on which the lawsuit is based, led to the complete dismissal of the claim. Position filed an appeal on May 4, 2017. A hearing on the Appeal is forthcoming. The Company expects the court to make a decision within three months of the hearing date. We believe the allegations are inaccurate and are defending the case vigorously. We believe the probability of incurring a material loss to be remote.

General
 
Our core business is based on the manufacture and leasing of patented tracking and monitoring solutions to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, both in the U.S. and abroad, for the electronic monitoring of offenders and offering unique data analytics services on a platform-as-a-service (“ PaaS ”) business model. Currently, we deploy offender-based management services that combine patented GPS tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 global monitoring capabilities, case management, and proprietary data analytics. We offer customizable tracking solutions that leverage real-time tracking data, best practices monitoring, and analytics capabilities to create complete, end-to-end tracking solutions.
 
Our devices consist principally of the ReliAlert TM product line, which is supplemented by the Shadow product line. These devices are generally leased on a daily rate basis and may be combined with our monitoring center services, proprietary software and data analytics subscription to provide an end-to-end PaaS.
 
ReliAlert TM and Shadow.   Our tracking devices utilize patented technology and are securely attached around an offender’s ankle with a tamper resistant strap that cannot be adjusted or removed without detection, unless by a supervising officer, and which is activated through services provided by our monitoring centers. The ReliAlert TM and Shadow units are intelligent devices with integrated computer circuitry, utilizing both GPS and RF, and constructed from case-hardened plastics designed to promptly notify the intervention centers of any attempt made to breach applicable protocols, or to remove or otherwise tamper with the device or optical strap housing. The ReliAlert TM platform also incorporates voice communication technology that provides officers with 24/7/365 voice communication with the offenders. Both devices are FCC, CE and PTCRB certified and protected by numerous patents and trademarks.
 
Monitoring Center Services.   Our monitoring center facilities provide live 24/7/365 monitoring of all alarms generated from our devices, as well as customer and technical support. Our monitoring center operators play a vital role, and as such, we staff our centers with highly-trained, bi-lingual individuals. These operators act as an extension of agency resources receiving alarms, communicating and intervening with offenders regarding violations, and interacting with supervision staff, all pursuant to agency-established protocols. The facilities have redundant power source, battery back-up and triple redundancy in voice, data, and IP. The Company has established monitoring centers in the U.S. and Chile. In addition, the Company has assisted in the establishment of monitoring centers for customers and local partners in other global locations
 
 
 
Data Analytics Services.   Our TrackerPAL TM software, TrackerPAL TM Mobile, combined with our Data Analytic analysis tools, provide an integrated platform allowing case managers and law enforcement officers quick access views of an offender’s travel behavior, mapping, and inference on patterns. Our advanced data analytics service offers a highly complex predictive reporting mechanism that combines modern statistical methods, developed using computer science and used by intelligence agencies that separate noteworthy events from normal events, rank offender cases according to their need for supervision, and relate decision-relevant metrics to benchmarks in real-time.
 
Business Strategy
 
Our global growth strategy is to continue to expand service offerings on a subscription basis that empower professionals in security, law enforcement, corrections and rehabilitation organizations worldwide with a single-sourced, real-time, end-to-end offender management solution that integrates reliable intervention technologies to support re-socialization, monitoring, and predictive analytics for offenders. In selective circumstances, we will also assist agencies by operating offender pay programs. To accomplish these objectives, we have and will continue to innovate and grow our portfolio of proprietary and non-proprietary real-time monitoring and intervention products and services, including smartphone applications. These products include GPS, RF, drug and alcohol testing for offenders, domestic violence applications and predictive analytics. Given the flexibility of our platform, our device technology, tracking, monitoring, and analytical capabilities, we believe that our solutions may apply to other industry verticals that require tracking, monitoring and predictive analytics such as those entities responsible for pre-trial participants or individuals on bail.
 
Recent Developments
 
Marion County Agreements
 
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company entered into a multi-year monitoring services agreement with Marion County Community Corrections Agency, by and through the Marion County Community Corrections Board (collectively, “ Marion County ”), pursuant to which the Company provides Marion County with GPS and alcohol monitoring equipment, certain services, and software to be used for offenders ordered into the Marion County Community Corrections program by the courts. In exchange for the products and services provided by the Company, Marion County shall make periodic payments, the sum of which shall be determined based on the duration of use of individual units of equipment.
 
On January 18, 2018, the Company entered into a monitoring services agreement with Gendarmeria de Chile, the Republic of Chile’s uniform prison service (“ Gendarmeria ”), for services the Company began offering to Gendarmeria in October 2017. The Company provides Gendarmeria with GPS monitoring devices, certain services, and software to be used for offenders ordered into a corrections program by the Chilean courts. In exchange for the products and services provided by the Company, Gendarmeria shall make monthly payments, the sum of which shall be determined based on installation fees and the duration of use of individual units of equipment.
 
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.
 
A description of the Company’s critical accounting policies that affect the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017 , filed with the SEC on December 19, 2017 . During the three months ended March 31, 2018 there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies.
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense. 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, estimated useful lives, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, legal matters 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
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
 
Revenue
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized revenue from operations of $7,316,176 compared to $7,220,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $96,133 or approximately 1%. The increase in revenue was principally the result of (i) growth of offender monitoring in Chile, and (ii) an increase in total growth of our North American monitoring operations driven by clients in Indiana and Virginia, offset by the loss of small domestic customers.
 
Other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased to $153,971 from $233,431 in the same period in 2017 largely due to lower sales of consumable items and lower licensing revenue. We will continue to focus on recurring subscription based opportunities as opposed to equipment sales.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, cost of revenue totaled $3,295,508 compared to cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $3,169,879, an increase of $125,629 or approximately 4%.  The increase in cost of revenue was largely the result of increases in device costs of $111,364, higher server costs of $61,757, and higher communication costs of $76,830, partially offset by lower monitoring costs of $103,883.
 
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $467,666 and $515,574, respectively. These costs represent the depreciation of ReliAlert™ and other monitoring devices, as well as the amortization of monitoring software and certain royalty agreements . We believe the amortization periods are appropriate due to changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses the useful life of the devices for appropriateness. Amortization of a patent related to GPS and satellite tracking is also included in cost of sales.  
 
Gross Profit and Margin
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, gross profit totaled $4,020,668, representing a decrease of $29,496 or less than 1% compared to the same period last year and resulting in a gross margin of approximately 55% compared to $4,050,164 or a gross margin of approximately 56% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in gross margin is largely due to the higher costs of revenue mentioned above, as well as incentives given to certain customers for assistance with the evaluation of our new software platform.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, general and administrative expense totaled $3,495,343 compared to $2,355,156 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase of $1,140,187 or 48% in general and administrative costs resulted largely from an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $884,840, higher legal and professional fees of $170,672, higher wages and benefit costs of $146,318 and higher outside service costs of $161,602, partially offset by lower bad debt expense of $206,581.
 
Loss on Sale of Asset
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred a loss on the sale of non-core assets of $766,031 for which the Company received cash of $860,000.
 
Restructuring Costs
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded $4,070 of costs related to the relocation of our headquarters from Salt Lake City, Utah to our existing Chicagoland office. These costs include the transfer of our own monitoring center activities to a highly-specialized third party, severance pay related to a reduction of approximately 65 monitoring center employees, as well as other support employees and moving costs. All costs related to the relocation were paid in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
 
 
 
Selling and Marketing Expense
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, selling and marketing expense decreased to $518,993 compared to $624,210 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The reduction in expense of $105,217, or approximately 17% is principally the result of lower wages and benefits of $50,795, lower professional fees of $32,749 and lower outside services of $9,118.
 
Research and Development Expense
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, research and development expense totaled $182,808 compared to $679,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $496,430 or approximately 73%. The decrease   resulted largely from lower wages and benefits of $258,487 and lower outside service costs of $243,419. In addition, we are significantly enhancing our technology platform to improve the efficiency of our software, firmware, user interface, and automation. As a result of these improvements, $247,952 was capitalized as developed technology during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $458,275 was capitalized in the three months ended March 31, 2017. A portion of this expense would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant enhancements to the technology.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $539,537 compared to $633,273 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $93,736 or approximately 15% largely the result of certain property and equipment assets becoming fully depreciated.
 
Total Operating Expense
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, total operating expense decreased to $4,736,680 compared to $5,061,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $325,298 or approximately 6%. The decrease was largely due to a loss on sale of an asset which occurred in 2017 of $766,031, lower selling and marketing expense of $105,217, lower research and development expense of $496,430 and lower depreciation and amortization expense of $93,736. These costs were partially offset by higher general and administrative expense of $1,140,187, largely made up of non-cash stock-based compensation.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, other income (expense) totaled expense of $1,020,472 compared to expense of $564,584 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase in net expense of $455,888 or approximately 81%. The increase in other income (expense) is due to income related to a stock payable adjustment with a related party in 2017 of $213,940 and negative currency exchange rate movements of $231,383, largely due to movement in the Canadian dollar.  
 
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
 
The Company had net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,736,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,585,497 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $150,988 or 10%.  This increase in net loss is largely due to an increase in stock-based compensation, higher legal and professional fees, higher outside service costs, higher wages and benefits and higher other expense, net. These amounts were offset by absence of restructuring costs, lower selling and marketing expense, lower research and development costs and lower depreciation and amortization.
 
 
 
Six Months Ended March 31, 2018, Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2017
 
Revenue
 
For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized revenue from operations of $14,806,870, compared to $14,891,533 for the six months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $84,663 or less than 1%. Of this revenue, $14,513,010 and $14,419,889, respectively, were from monitoring and other related services, an increase of $93,121 or 1%. The decrease in revenue was principally the result of (i) a loss of a Caribbean customer whose contract ended in November 2016 and (ii) lower sales of consumable and non-monitoring revenue items, partially offset by (iii) growth of offender monitoring in Chile and (iv) an increase in total growth of our North American monitoring operations driven by clients in Indiana and Virginia.
 
Other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased to $293,860 from $471,644 in the same period in 2017 largely due to lower sales of consumable items and other non-monitoring revenue items. We are continuing to focus on recurring subscription based opportunities and not equipment sales.
 
Cost of Revenue
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, cost of revenue totaled $6,314,657 compared to cost of revenue during the six months ended March 31, 2017 of $7,297,435, a decrease of $982,778 or approximately 13%. The decrease in cost of revenue was largely the result of lower monitoring costs of $356,004, lower communication costs of $209,496, lower repair and maintenance costs by $325,943, lower customs expense of $201,062 and other incremental revenue related costs, partially offset by higher server costs of $128,376 and higher costs of lost and stolen devices of $88,325. During the six-month period ended March 31, 2017, we incurred one-time costs of $371,144, which is reflected in monitoring, products and other related services in the condensed consolidated income statement, that did not reoccur in the six months ended March 31, 2018. Excluding these one-time costs, cost of revenue for the six-months ended March 31, 2018 would have decreased $611,634, or approximately 9%, compared to the same period in 2017.
 
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $944,808 and $961,067, respectively. This $16,259 or approximately 2% decrease in costs represents a drop in the depreciation of ReliAlert TM and other monitoring devices.   Devices are depreciated over a one to five year useful life. Royalty agreements are being amortized over a ten year useful life. The Company believes these lives are appropriate due to changes in electronic monitoring technology and the corresponding potential for obsolescence. Management periodically assesses estimates for useful lives of assets for appropriateness.
 
Gross Profit and Margin
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, gross profit totaled $8,492,213, resulting in a gross margin of approximately 57%, compared to $7,594,098, or a gross margin of approximately 51% during the six months ended March 31, 2017.  The increase in absolute gross profit of $898,115 or approximately 12% is due to lower costs of revenue. The increase in gross margin is due to the decrease in certain aspects of cost of revenue, including monitoring activity, communication costs, repairs and maintenance and the absence of one-time costs of $371,144 incurred in the prior year mentioned above.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, general and administrative expense totaled $7,153,081 compared to $5,530,210 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The increase of $1,622,871 or approximately 29% in general and administrative costs resulted largely from higher non-cash stock-based compensation of $1,447,056, legal and professional fees of $318,576, outside consulting of $133,114 and higher wages and benefits expense of $312,592, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $379,223, lower training and recruiting of $78,270, lower rent expense of $67,737 and lower repair and maintenance expense of $66,474.
 
Loss on Sale of Asset
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred a loss on the sale of non-core assets of $766,031 for which the Company received cash of $860,000.
 
 
 
Restructuring Costs
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded $570,400 of costs related to the relocation of our headquarters from Salt Lake City, Utah to our existing Chicagoland office. These costs include the transfer of our own monitoring center activities to a highly-specialized third party, severance pay related to a reduction of approximately 65 monitoring center employees, as well as other support employees and moving costs. All costs related to the relocation were paid in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.
 
Selling and Marketing Expense
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, selling and marketing expense totaled $928,730 compared to $1,213,978 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The $285,248, or approximately 23% decrease resulted largely from lower outside service expense of $118,410, lower wages and benefits of $83,197, lower legal and professional fees of $32,749 and lower travel expense of $31,341.
 
Research and Development Expense
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, research and development expense totaled $346,754 compared to research and development expense for the six months ended March 31, 2017 totaling $1,167,416, a decrease of $820,662 or approximately 70%. The decrease is largely due lower wages and benefits of $461,683 and lower outside services of $356,215 as the Company begins to complete its new technology platform. The Company is significantly enhancing its technology platform to improve the efficiency of its software, firmware, user interface, and automation. As a result of these improvements, $502,851 was capitalized as developed technology during the six months ended March 31, 2018 and $1,028,368 was capitalized during the six months ended March 31, 2017. A portion of this expense would have been recognized as research and development expense, absent the significant enhancements to the technology.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $1,104,277 compared to $1,208,384 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The $104,107, or approximately 9% decrease was largely the result of certain property and equipment assets becoming fully depreciated.
 
Total Operating Expense
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018, total operating expense decreased to $9,532,842 compared to $10,456,419 for the six months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $923,577 or approximately 9%. The decrease was largely due to a loss on sale of an asset of $766,031 and restructuring costs of $570,400, which both occurred in 2017, and lower selling and marketing expense of $285,248, lower research and development expense of $820,882 and lower depreciation and amortization expense of $104,107. These costs were partially offset by higher general and administrative expense of $1,622,871, largely made up of non-cash stock-based compensation.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
For the six months ended March 31, 2018, other income (expense) totaled expense of $1,738,447 compared to expense of $1,327,836 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The increase of $410,611 in net other expense resulted primarily from income related to a stock payable adjustment with related party in 2017 of $213,940 and negative currency exchange rate movements of $170,013.
 
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders
 
The Company had a net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 totaling $2,779,076 compared to a net loss of $4,199,256 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 representing, a decrease of $1,420,180 or approximately 34%.  This decrease in net loss is largely due to lower cost of revenue, lower research and development costs, lower selling and marketing expenses, the absence of restructuring costs and loss on sale of assets which occurred in 2017, offset by higher general and administrative costs, largely stock-based compensation.
 
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Prior to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Company supplemented cash flows to finance the business from borrowings under a credit facility, a revolving line of credit from one of our shareholders, receipt of certain disgorgement funds, and from the sale and issuance of debt securities. As of March 31, 2018, excluding interest, $3.4 million was owed to Sapinda under the   Sapinda Loan Agreement and $30.4 million was owed to Conrent under   the Facility. No borrowings or sales of equity securities occurred during the six months ended March 31, 2018 or in the prior fiscal year.
 
On February 26, 2018, the Company proposed that the maturity date of the Facility Agreement be extended from July 31, 2018 to April 1, 2019. On April 26, 2018, the Noteholders approved the extension of the Facility Agreement from July 31, 2018 to April 1, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are currently under discussion by the Company and Conrent , and subject to the execution of an amendment to the Facility Agreement by both Conrent and the Company. Although no assurances can be given, management anticipates that the parties will execute such amendment prior to the maturity date of the Facility Agreement. See Footnote 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities.
 
During the six months ended March 31, 2018 , we incurred a net loss of $2,779,076 and we had cash flows from operating activities of $1,773,944, compared to a net loss of $4,199,256 and cash flows from operating activities of $1,996,957 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease of cash from operations compared to the prior year period was largely the result of an increase in prepaid expenses, largely for an international performance bond and prepaid taxes and a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by improved operating results. 
 
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities.
 
The Company used $1,121,825 of cash for investing activities during the six months ended March 31 , 2018, compared to $1,513,322 of cash used during the six months ended March 31, 2017.  Cash used for investing activities was used for significant enhancements of our software platform and used for purchases of monitoring and other equipment to meet demand during the six months ended March 31, 2018.
 
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities.
 
The Company used $36,632 of cash for financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $34,779 of cash used in financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2017.
 
Liquidity, Working Capital and Management’s Plan
 
As of March 31 , 2018, we had unrestricted cash of $2,661,829, compared to unrestricted cash of $2,027,321 as of September 30, 2017 . As of March 31 , 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $28,976,055, compared to a working capital deficit of $30,874,107 as of September 30, 2017. This decrease in working capital deficit is principally due to a transfer of a short-term bond from a long-term asset of $2,944,631, and cash provided by operations, partially offset by a decrease in cash due to additional capitalized software of $502,851, purchases of monitoring equipment of $494,254 and purchases of property and equipment of $124,720.
 
On March 13, 2017, the Company successfully extended the Sapinda Loan Agreement from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2020. In addition, on April 26, 2018, the Noteholders approved the extension of the Facility Agreement from July 31, 2018 and April 1, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are currently under discussion by the Company and Conrent, and subject to the execution of an amendment to the Facility Agreement by both Conrent and the Company. Although no assurances can be given, management anticipates that the parties will execute such amendment prior to the maturity date of the Facility Agreement.  See Footnote 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
 
 
 
The Company incurred a net loss of $2,779,076 and $4,199,256 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company may continue to incur losses until it is able to achieve a level of revenue adequate to support its cost structure. In addition, assuming the Company will successfully extend the maturity of the Facility Agreement discussed in Footnote 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management has evaluated the significance of all conditions and determined that it will have adequate cash flow from operations to meet its operating obligations and provide for its working capital requirements for the next twelve months. However, in the event that we are unable to execute an amendment to the Facility Agreement resulting in an extension of the maturity date to April 2019, our available cash resources together with cash flow from operations will be inadequate to satisfy our working capital requirements. Management will therefore seek additional sources of capital, and may consider strategic or other transactions to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in either extending or restructuring our debt, raising additional debt or equity capital, or consummating a strategic or other transaction.
 
Inflation
 
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our historical operations or profitability.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Arrangements
 
The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company, except as described below.

Item 3.  Q uantitati ve and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
The Company footprint extends to a few countries outside the United States, and we intend to continue to examine international opportunities. As a result, our revenue and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates, transfer pricing changes, taxes 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 $5,263,868 and $5,124,913 in revenue from sources outside of the United States for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We made and received payments in a foreign currency during the periods indicated, which resulted in a foreign exchange of $276,120 and $106,107 in the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 hedging 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.  C ontr ols and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018 was completed pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms as of March 31, 2018.
 
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, 2018 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II.   OTH ER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. Historically, the outcome of all such legal proceedings has not, in the aggregate, had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Other than as set forth below, there are no additional pending or threatened legal proceedings at this time.
 
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. On May 2, 2016, the Court resolved this case in favor of the Company by granting the Company’s motion for Summary Judgment. The Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal on June 1, 2016 challenging the Court’s ruling on the motion for Summary Judgment. Plaintiff’s appeal succeeded and will result in a trial occurring within the next four to eight months. We intend to defend the case vigorously.
 
Boggs et al. v. Judicial Electronic Monitoring, SecureAlert, Inc. et al.   On December 3, 2015, Candace Boggs et al. filed a complaint in the State Court of Dougherty County, Georgia, alleging breach of contract and negligence in monitoring of certain offenders in Dougherty County, Georgia, as well as a request for punitive damages. Plaintiffs withdrew their complaint in February 2016, but refiled the complaint on October 12, 2016. The Company’s motion for Summary Judgment was denied on February 27, 2017 and a Notice of Appeal was filed by The Company’s counsel on April 15, 2017. Oral arguments took place on December 13, 2017 regarding a new statute which exempts providers of electronic pretrial release and monitoring services from civil liability for the criminal acts of the defendants it monitors. A ruling should be issued before the end of July 2018. We believe the allegations are inaccurate and are defending the case vigorously. We believe the probability of incurring a material loss to be remote.
 
 
 
Track Group, Inc. v. I.C.S. of the Bahamas Co. Ltd.   On May 18, 2016, the Company filed a complaint in the District Court of the Third Judicial District in Salt Lake County, Utah alleging breach of contract, under the terms of a loan agreement and promissory note between the Company and I.C.S. of the Bahamas Co. Ltd (“ ICS ”). The Company’s damages of unpaid principal and interest on the Promissory Note are in the amount of $230,000, plus per annum interest. The Defendant’s initial Counterclaims were dismissed; however, the Court granted the Defendant leave to amend. The Amended Counter Claims were filed on June 23, 2017. The Company’s Motion to Dismiss the Amended Counterclaims was denied on September 19, 2017. The Company filed an Answer to the Amended Counterclaims on October 3, 2017. Depositions have taken place for both parties. The discovery period is scheduled to end in the near future, after which counsel will prepare a motion for Summary Judgment. We believe we will be successful in this action for amounts owed under the loan agreement and promissory note; however, the Company may encounter problems enforcing a favorable judgment in the foreign jurisdiction where ICS resides.
 
Track Group Inc. v. I.C.S. of the Bahamas Co. Ltd.   On September 26, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Arbitration with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, alleging breach of contract by ICS. Under the terms of the Commercial and Monitoring Representative Agreement dated November 30, 2010 (the “ C&M Agreement ”) by and between the Company and ICS, any dispute must be resolved by binding arbitration. The Company asserts that ICS has failed to pay the Company fees owed to it under the C&M Agreement. The amount owed to the Company is approximately $1.0 million. Depositions were completed in August of 2017. The arbitration hearing took place on January 31, 2018. The arbitrator requested legal briefings after the hearing which were submitted in March 2018. The Company awaits a decision from the arbitrator. The Company is confident it will be successful in the arbitration; however, the Company may encounter problems enforcing a successful arbitration award in the foreign jurisdiction where ICS resides.
 
John Merrill v. Track Group, Inc. and Guy Dubois.   On November 30, 2016, the Company was served with a complaint filed by John Merrill, the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in District Court of the Third Judicial District in Salt Lake County, Utah alleging breach of contract, among other causes of action, related to Mr. Merrill’s termination of employment. Mr. Merrill is seeking not less than $590,577 plus interest, attorney fees and costs. Mr. Merrill’s employment with the Company was terminated effective September 27, 2016. The Company filed an Answer with Counter Claims on December 21, 2016. The Company filed a motion for Summary Judgment on January 16, 2018. The court held an oral hearing on the Company’s motion for Summary Judgment on April 25, 2018. A ruling should be made within 30 days from the hearing. We intend to defend the case vigorously and believe the allegations and claims are without merit.
 
Michael Anthony Johnson v. Community Corrections of Marion County and Track Group, Inc.   On February 28, 2017, the Company was notified that Mr. Johnson, the Plaintiff, had filed a  pro se  complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, asserting violations of his rights under 28 U.S.C. Sec.1331. Mr. Johnson alleges damages of at least $250,000. The Company filed a motion for Summary Judgment on January 24, 2018. The Plaintiff was granted additional time to conduct discovery. We believe the allegations and claims are unfounded and without merit. We will defend the case vigorously and believe the probability of incurring a material loss to be remote.
 
SecureAlert, Inc. v. Federal Government of Mexico (Department of the Interior).   On March 24, 2017, SecureAlert Inc. filed a complaint before the Federal Administrative Tribunal, asserting the failure by Defendants to pay claimant amounts agreed to, and due under, the Pluri Annual Contract for the Rendering of Monitoring Services of Internees, through Electric Bracelets, in the Islas Marias Penitentiary Complex dated July 15, 2011, entered into by and between the Organo Administrativo Desconcentrado Prevencion y Readaptacion Social of the then Public Security Department, and presently, an agency of the National Security Commission of the Department of the Interior, and SecureAlert, Inc., presently Track Group, Inc. The Company’s claim amount is upwards of $6.0 million. On March 28, 2017, the Federal Administrative Tribunal rejected our claim, based on its determination that this case should be resolved by a Civil Court and not by the Federal Administrative Tribunal. For that reason, on April 25, 2017, the Company filed an appeal before the Collegiate Tribunals against the decision of the Federal Administrative Tribunal. The Tribunal ruled the claims should be resolved in the Civil Court. Following that ruling the Supreme Court took action to resolve the conflicting precedent regarding the jurisdiction of such claims and determined that such claims will be resolved by the Federal Administrative Tribunal. Counsel is studying the case to determine where the claim should be resolved.
 
 
 
Inversiones Tecnologicas SpA v. Track Group Chile SpA.  On October 10, 2014, Inversiones Tecnologicas SpA (a.k.a. Position) filed a complaint before the Civil Court of Santiago, in order to collect $1.0 million of fees for alleged services rendered with occasion of the public tender for the adjudication of the contract ID 634-66-LP13 labeled “Telematics Surveillance of Convicts.” On April 13, 2017, the Court issued its decision, rejecting the Plaintiff’s claim, under the consideration that insufficient evidence of a service agreement between Track Group Chile SpA (formerly Secure Alert Chile SpA) and Inversiones Tecnologicas SpA, was submitted to the Court. Moreover, the fact that Secure Alert Chile SpA was incorporated after the facts on which the lawsuit is based, led to the complete dismissal of the claim. Position filed an appeal on May 4, 2017. A hearing on the Appeal is forthcoming. The Company expects the court to make a decision within three months of the hearing date. We believe the allegations are inaccurate and are defending the case vigorously. We believe the probability of incurring a material loss to be remote.
 
Pablo Gonzalez-Cruz, et al. v. Track Group-Puerto Rico, et al.  On June 9, 2017, the Plaintiff, Pablo Gonzalez-Cruz, and relatives of the Plaintiff, filed a Complaint in the Court of First Instance, San Juan Superior Court, Common Wealth of Puerto Rico against the Company, and associated parties alleging the death of his daughter was a direct and immediate result of the gross negligence. Plaintiff is requesting damages of no less than $2.0 million. The Company’s Answer and Appearance were filed August 13, 2017. The discovery period will tentatively end June 2018. Once discovery has ended the Company will file a dispositive motion.
 
Item 1 A.  Risk Factors
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, filed on December 19, 2017, including the risk that we may be unable to extend approximately $30.4 million of debt as of March 31, 2018, which debt matures on July 31, 2018. See Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. You should carefully consider these risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report. Should any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition and future prospects could be negatively impacted. As of May 11, 2018, there have been no material changes to the disclosures made in the above-referenced Form 10-K.

Exhibit 10.1
 
CONTRACT:
 
" TELEMATIC MONITORING OF CONDEMNED SERVICE "
 
   GENDARMERIE OF CHILE 
 
    WITH 
 
     "TRACK GROUP CHILE SPA"

FIRST : CONTRACTUAL PRECEDENTS -. On November 13, 2013, a first contract of “Telematics Monitoring Condemn Service" was signed between the company SecureAlert (today Track Group Chile SpA), which was approved by Exempt Resolution No. 2445 of November 15 of the same year, contemplating a temporary extension of 41 continuous months from the date in which the administrative act that took reason of the aforementioned contract was fully processed.
 
On August 7th, 2014, the agreement was signed between the parties amending Convention, which excludes the benefits contained in the primitive contract, the telematic monitoring of the sentence of intensive probation. This amending agreement was approved by the resolution procedure N ° 2019 of August 12 of the same year.
 
On April 23, 2015, a modification of the contract was signed between the parties in accordance with which the change of the contractor's social reason was made official, modifying the name of SECUREALERT Chile SpA to TRACK GROUP Chile SpA . This contractual modification was approved by resolution procedure N° 866 of May 29, 2015.
 
On November 19, 2015, the parties signed a new amendment to the contract by which all the initial benefits contemplated by the primitive contract were reinstated, i.e. to their application to the substitute sentence such as the Partial Seclusion and Intensive Probation. This amendment was approved through resolution procedure No. 2211 of December 14, 2015.

On February 7, 2017, and through Ordinary Letter No. 72, TrackGroup Chile SpA was notified of the circumstance that the date of completion of the execution of the contract for 41 months would correspond to October 17, 2017.

Technical Annex of the service contract for the telematic monitoring of condemned by resolution procedure N ° 321
 
 
 
 
 
 
I. - Introduction.
 
The Gendarmerie of Chile, henceforth and indistinctly "Gendarmerie", "the Service", "the Bidder" or the "Institution", is a Public Service dependent on the Ministry of Justice, whose purpose is to attend, monitor and contribute to social reintegration of persons who, by resolution of competent authorities, are detained or deprived of their liberty and perform the other functions prescribed by law. In this context, DL N ° 2.859, of 1979, of the Ministry of Justice, which establishes the Organic Law of this Service, establishes in its article 3, letter g), as one of its functions, "to assist in the free media" to the people who access it because they are serving sentences or for other legal reasons, under the conditions set forth in the regulations. "That work is based in its Technical Sub-Directorate, according to the article 8 of the aforementioned Organic Law.
 
In turn, by Resolution No. 7,125 of 2012, of the Gendarmerie of Chile, the Department of Telematic Monitoring was created under the Technical Subdirectorate, whose function is to develop all those activities related to the administration of the telematic monitoring device for the control of the substitute seclusion established in Law 18,216, modified by Law No. 20,603.
 
II. - Objectives of the project.
 
General purpose.
 
Perform the supervision by technological means of the sentences of partial seclusion, mixed sentence or intensive probation, in the cases and under the conditions established by Law No. 18,216 and its regulations, contained in Decree No. 1,120, of the Ministry of Justice, of 1984, and safeguard the personal safety of those who are victims of certain crimes.
 
To specify this general objective, it is necessary to comply with the specific objectives that are indicated below.

Specific objectives.
 
a)             
Automate the levels of control of convicted persons who are serving their sentence in the free environment, providing an efficient telematic monitoring system in accordance with the law.
 
b)             
Increase the security and protection of victims of crimes committed by convicted persons who are serving their sentence in the free environment, in the cases provided for in Law No. 18,216.
 
c)             
Strengthen the elaboration, analysis and systematization of information in relation to the behavior of the convicted person, which allows greater feedback with the delegates of intense probation.
 
III.- Precedent.
 
In 1983, Law No. 18.216 established a system of alternative measures, which allowed the person sentenced to a prison sentence to serve such sentence at liberty, subject to administrative control of greater or lesser intensity.
 
Considering the need to strengthen citizen security, the aforementioned Law No. 18.216 has been modified, in order to provide intelligent and diversified responses to the phenomenon of crime.
 
Law No.20.603, seeks to strengthen the system of alternatives to prison and transform it into a sanction mechanism, which operates effectively and effectively in the control of first-time delinquency, avoiding criminal recidivism.
 
This modification seeks that the one who has been subject to a penalty that is a substitute for a prison sentence, effectively and satisfactorily comply with the sanction imposed, making this system a control model similar to the prison, in terms of its actual control about the population subject to it. For this purpose, article 23 quater of Law No. 18.216, refers the determination of the technical characteristics of the equipment to a regulation on telematic monitoring. Convicted persons will know that they are effectively being controlled, so that any action that violates the sanction regime imposed, will be detected and informed to the court so that it adopts the pertinent measures, being able to revoke this sentence.
 
In this way, it is necessary to give continuity to the telematic monitoring service with the technical characteristics that are detailed in this technical annex.
 
IV.- Justification.
 
As indicated above, the amendment to Law No. 18,216 seeks to strengthen the control that currently exists in the enforcement of sentences in freedom.
 
The possibility of controlling the condemned through telematic monitoring is contemplated in the case that the convicted person is sentenced to the sentences of partial imprisonment, mixed sentence and intensive supervised release. This last penalty is provided for those persons convicted of certain crimes that constitute acts of domestic violence or sexual crimes. Additionally, the possibility is considered that the victim may access a telematic monitoring system, in order to be able to contact her, in case the condemned person is close to her.
 
Gendarmerie will be responsible for the administration of the telematic monitoring system, being able to contract external services in accordance with Law No. 19.886, of Bases on Administrative Contracts of Supply and Provision of Services, in accordance with the provisions of article 23 quater of the Law No. 18,216.
 
The following describes the substitute sentence whose compliance will be monitored remotely.
 
V. - Application of telematic monitoring for the condemned.
 
1. Partial seclusion
 
Explanation
 
According to article 7 of Law No. 18.216, the partial confinement consists of confinement in the domicile of the convicted person or in special establishments, for 56 hours a week. The partial seclusion can be day, night or weekend, according to the following criteria:

The partial seclusion may be arranged (Article 8):
 
a. - If the deprivation or restriction of liberty imposed by the sentence does not exceed three years.
 
b.- If the convicted person has not previously been convicted of a crime or a simple offense, or has been sentenced to a deprivation or restriction of liberty that does not exceed two years, or more than one, provided that in total they do not exceed said limit .
 
c.- If there are employment, educational or other similar backgrounds that justify the penalty, as well as if the personal history of the convicted person, his conduct before and after the punishable act and the nature, modalities and motives determining the crime, allow presuming that the penalty of partial imprisonment will dissuade him from committing new crimes.
 
Considering the purposes of this penalty, the control by telematic monitoring must ensure supervision that the convicted person does not leave the domicile during the time period set by the court.
 
2. Intensified probation for sexual crimes and domestic violence.
 
Explanation.
 
The intensive supervised release consists of the application of a program of activities, aimed at the social reintegration of the condemned, in the personal, community and labor, through a treatment under the application of certain special conditions, which will be monitored and oriented, both permanently and rigorously, by a delegate, as indicated in article 15 bis of the law in question.
 
Those sentenced to the penalty of intensive probation for sexual crimes or crimes committed in the context of domestic violence, whose sentences are longer than 540 days and equal to or less than 5 years, will be monitored remotely to ensure compliance with the following conditions that the penalty be associated:

b. - Prohibition to approach the victim or his relatives or other persons determined by the court, or to communicate with them.
 
c. - Obligation to remain in the domicile or place determined by the judge, during a maximum period of 8 hours per day, which must be continuous.
 
The conditions indicated above are those that must be controlled through the Telematic Monitoring System. The first two refer to exclusions, because the convicted person can not access the places or the person of the victim. The third condition is similar to the control established for partial seclusion.
 
3. Mixed sentences.
