PART I

ITEM 1.          BUSINESS.

Background

ALR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the “Company” or “ALRT”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp. In April 1998, the Company changed its business purpose to marketing a pharmaceutical compliance device which was owned by A Little Reminder (ALR) Inc. (“ALR”).

On October 21, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with ALR whereby the Company would have the non-exclusive right to distribute certain products of ALR described below.

In December 1998, the common shares of the Company began trading on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. under the symbol “MBET.” On December 28, 1998, the Company changed its name from Mo Betta Corp. to ALR Technologies Inc.  Subsequently the symbol was changed to “ALRT.”

In April 1999, the Company acquired 99.9% (36,533,130) of the issued and outstanding Class A shares of common stock of ALR in exchange for 36,533,130 shares of the Company’s common stock thereby making ALR a subsidiary corporation of the Company. ALR also had outstanding 124,695 shares of Class B common stock, none of which was owned by the Company.

ALR was incorporated pursuant to the Company Act of British Columbia on May 24, 1996.  ALR owned one subsidiary corporation, Timely Devices, Inc. (“TDI”). TDI was founded in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on July 27, 1994. ALR owns all of the total outstanding shares of TDI. TDI had only one class of common stock outstanding.

On July 31, 2000, the Company sold all of its shares of ALR. As a result of this sale, the Company is no longer using the technology that was used by its previously owned subsidiaries and does not have any assembly capability. The Company now does its own marketing and has designed products based on new technology. The manufacturing and assembling of these products has been contracted out.

On April 15, 2008, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada under the name Canada ALRTech Health Systems Inc.

Products

ALR Technologies products utilize internet based technologies to facilitate health care providers the ability to monitor their patient’s health and ensure adherence to health maintenance activities.

The Company’s Health-e-Connect (HeC) system is an internet based product initially intended for patients with diabetes and their health care providers to improve communication and monitoring of patients’ health management programs. One aspect of the system is that HeC will incorporate data uploaded from patients’ glucose meters into the ALRT database to quickly assess user adherence and performance compared to provider set targets, such as prescriptions and guidelines. This provides patients and caregivers the ability to track patient performance and adherence, thereby allowing timely intervention, which would consist of contact by the caregiver to patient. By providing this ongoing monitoring and feedback, the HeC system is expected to enhance outcomes of patients’ health as measured by A1c and lower costs borne by the US health care system related to this chronic disease.

The HeC system has received United States FDA 510(k) clearance for sale. The Company is currently focusing its efforts on introducing and marketing its HeC system for patients and health care providers in the United States. The Company has limited financial resources and is actively seeking agency and marketing relationships to reach widespread adoption. In addition, the Company is working to establish health insurance company reimbursement for HeC services.

In the future, the Company may seek to adapt its HeC system to be used in the management of other chronic diseases. The Company would be required to obtain additional clearance from the FDA prior to commencing selling activities in the United States for other purposes.

ALRT Health-e-Connect System TM for Diabetes Monitoring

Diabetes is a leading cause of death, serious illness and disability across North America.  In the United States, it is estimated that 26 million people have diabetes, with 4.5 million people being classified as insulin dependent. By the year 2030, it is expected that 1 in 10 adults, globally, will have diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed instances). By the year 2050, it is expected that 1 in 3 United States adults will have diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed instances). We believe diabetes is a global pandemic.

As a result, medical costs due to diabetes and its complications are enormous. In the United States, such costs are estimated to be over $174 billion a year. In Canada, where it is estimated there are 2 million people with diabetes, healthcare costs associated with diabetes is estimated to be $13.2 billion annually.

Diabetes is a lifelong chronic disease with no cure.  However, people with diabetes can take steps to control their disease and reduce the risk of developing the associated serious complications and thereby controlling healthcare costs.  The Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee reports that “Successful diabetes care depends on the daily commitment of person with diabetes mellitus to self-management through the balance of lifestyle and medication.  Diabetes care should be organized around a multi- and interdisciplinary diabetes healthcare team that can establish and sustain a communication network between the person with diabetes and the necessary healthcare and community systems.”

The Company’s HeC System for diabetes management provides an affordable and easy to use tool to provide the communication network as recommended by the Committee. HeC includes a communications software platform that also enables health professionals to remotely monitor the health progress specifically relating to patients with diabetes. This facilitates more effective and timely communication of care to these patients.

The HeC system is compatible with the majority of glucose meters available for sale in the United States and also through the Company’s universal upload cable. Once development and testing is completed, the universal cable will be offered to customers who’ve adopted the HeC system.

ALRT Health-e-Connect System TM for Diabetes Monitoring (continued)

On August 2, 2010 the Company announced that results of a clinical trial conducted by Dr. Hugh Tildesley using the ALRT Health-e-Connect (HeC) System. The article was published in the August 2010 Diabetes Care publication.

The article was titled “Effect of Internet Therapeutic Intervention on A1c Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Treated with Insulin” and showed A1c dropping from 8.8% to 7.6% for the Intervention Group using ALRT’s HeC System as part of a diabetes management program.  The A1c test is important in diabetes treatment management as a long-term measure of control over blood glucose for diabetes patients.  According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention, “In general, every percentage drop in A1c blood test results (e.g. from 8% to 7%), can reduce the risk of microvascular complications (eye, kidney and nerve diseases) by 40%.”

In July 2011, the follow-up results of the Dr. Tildesley clinical trial were published in the Canadian Journal of Diabetes. Dr. Tildesley conducted a 12 month study using HeC System as an Internet Based Blood Glucose Monitoring System (IBGMS) to provide intensive blood glucose control to determine the effects of internet based blood glucose monitoring on A1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. Dr Tildesley concluded that, “While IBGMS intervention was not a substitute for the patient–physician interaction in a clinical setting, it significantly improved A1c and, over time, we observed better glycemic control and patient satisfaction.”

Dr. Tildesley added, “This method of follow-up can reduce the inconvenience of booking appointments solely for giving recommendations on changes in insulin dosage and may be a more cost-effective method of follow-up, especially for rural patients where access to a diabetes specialist is limited. In summary, the continuous use of an IBGMS is an effective method of improving glucose control compared to standard care.” The advantages of using an IBGMS include automatic uploading thus eliminating the need for patients to keep a written diary. In addition, the uploaded data can be analyzed and displayed in table and graph formats, giving a sense of glucose trends and monitoring frequency. This can save time for the physician and increase the accuracy of data interpretation. Limitations of the system include patient’s unwillingness or lack of desire to use the Internet and the absence of a payment model to reimburse out-of-office consultations.

In June 2011, the British Columbia Medical Services Plan published a schedule to include reimbursement to endocrinology specialists for several virtual services with patients. ALRT plans to register with Health Canada in preparation for sales. The ALRT HeC system can be used by endocrinologists to provide intensive blood glucose control and they will be reimbursed under the new virtual services codes. The British Columbia Medical Services Plan is the single payer provider of medical services in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It has over 4.4 million lives in its system with more than 200,000 diabetes patients.

On July 23, 2010 the Company submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA for its HeC system. The Company received comments from the FDA and submitted responses to those comments on February 28, 2011 with the aim of receiving clearance upon satisfactory resolution to the comments.

On September 26, 2011, the Company announced that it submitted its reply to additional questions asked by the FDA in response to the 510(k) application that was originally submitted to the FDA on July 23, 2010 for our proprietary HeC System. This was the second response to the additional questions received by the FDA. It took longer than originally anticipated for the Company to meet all the requirements of the FDA.

On October 17, 2011, the Company announced that we had received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the HeC System for remote monitoring of patients in support of effective diabetes management problems. 

Since receiving FDA clearance, the Company’s senior leadership team has been presenting how the HeC system uniquely supports mutual priorities around improved patient care, healthcare cost-containment, accountability, and job creation based on the results from the clinical trials conducted and applied to studies surrounding diabetes management by numerous sources.

Potential Benefits of ALRT Health-e-Connect System

The problem of medication non-compliance is prevalent in the United States. In March of 2004, Medical Care estimated that $300 billion was spent annually as a direct or indirect result of medication non-compliance. Monitoring compliance of disease management activities, such as treatments, medications and diagnostic tests, allows for alerting designated parties when a patient is noncompliant. It also facilitates intervention if the patient is deemed at risk. Often, physicians and caregivers do not detect noncompliance until the next medical appointment.  More timely intervention should result in substantial health benefits to the patient and significant cost savings. The ongoing monitoring of compliance data will also allow for evaluation of compliance behavior over time, resulting in behavior modification or education efforts when appropriate.

The Company believes that its products for setting timely healthcare compliance reminders/alerts will improve patient-compliance with doctor’s orders for taking medications and other treatments.  Greater compliance with medication and treatment regimens is likely to enhance the patient’s ability to realize the full benefits.  If people do not receive the intended benefit of their medications and health management regimens, their condition may fail to improve; additional complications may develop and compromise the patient’s health further.  This may lead to substantially increased costs of healthcare in general.  Industry data indicate that 50% or more of people on medications do not take them as prescribed, and that this non-compliance contributes to 10% of hospitalizations and billions of dollars spent annually in excessive and preventable healthcare costs.  Reminding a person to take an action is the first step in our system; monitoring their actions and their data is the second and intervention when needed is the important follow-up.

With a specific focus on diabetes treatment plans, a recent study from the Temple University School of Pharmacy indicates that the U.S. could save over $9 billion annually by improving patient adherence. Currently, there is very little oversight around the buying, selling and appropriate use of diabetes self-glucose testing supplies. Attempts at oversight are fragmented, primarily paper-based, and rely on unverifiable patient reporting

We believe the HeC system can provide solutions to overcome these obstacles and potentially save the United States billions of dollars while providing improved healthcare levels, as measured by A1c, for its citizens.

Furthermore, recent reports from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, indicate the loss of nearly $209 million annually from a Medicare diabetes program attributed to poor documentation around the utilization of diabetes self-testing supplies. These statistics do not account for losses incurred by Medicaid or private payers. Improving accountability around diabetes self-glucose testing supplies alone could save the U.S. healthcare delivery system billions of dollars over the next five years.

We feel that policies requiring electronic verification of test supply utilization prior to providing refills of test strips, will improve accountability. The HeC system has the capability to monitor and document the results of testing to verify that accountability.

Reimbursement for Health Professionals

The Company continues to work to obtain confirmation that HeC will allow for services to be provided by physicians that will be reimbursed by health insurance companies. The reimbursement will be a breakthrough as physicians will be paid to provide these important new services to their patients with chronic conditions.

Business Development and Marketing Strategy

The Company is focusing the majority of its efforts in introducing and marketing its HeC system for medical clinics and health professionals to provide direct care to patients and be reimbursed by the patients’ health benefit plans as well as to health plan payers due to the significant return on investment they can achieve by keeping employees/plan members healthy.

The Company is first targeting customers located in United States because of the large market potential but will also seek to obtain regulatory clearance and establish selling operations/agreements for sales and distribution in Canada, Europe, Australia and selected countries in Asia and South America. The Company’s initial target market consists of patients with diabetes.

Since receiving 510(k) clearance for the HeC, the Company has been working to communicate the benefits of the HeC system to healthcare officials and industry leaders. In late 2011, the Company relocated its headquarters to Richmond, Virginia, which we believe is an ideal location for making connections in the health care industry. The Company is working towards launching the HeC product during 2012.

The Company’s HeC provides a tool that comprehensively addresses the problem of medication non-compliance from a multi-lateral front.  The HeC reminds patients of their medication regimens and therapies, provides caregivers the ability to track the patient compliance, thereby allowing timely intervention, and provides information to the managers to assess the caregiver’s effectiveness.

The HeC is a low-cost, comprehensive system that addresses the growing issue of medication non-compliance with portability and low cost combined with the monitoring capability. Our System fills a critical gap in the healthcare system by providing ongoing oversight of patients.  The Company believes that by addressing the issue of non-compliance, the Company will help patients live longer, healthier lives while also decreasing healthcare costs.  The comprehensive compliance data provided to caregivers will assist them in improving their patient’s healthcare practices and enhance their own operating efficiency.

Other Products

Aside from the HeC, the Company also offers a range of medication reminder products addressing the issue of medication non-compliance of various medication regimens. These medication reminder products are offered to individual patients through pharmacies and the Internet. Pharmaceutical companies have also purchased the devices to distribute to patients using their medications in an effort to improve their medication compliance.  No sales of these products were conducted during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Selling Activities

Medical service companies who have extensive sales networks in the primary targeted areas for diabetes and respiratory will be selling the HeC.  They will be utilizing their presence in national, regional and state health care conferences as well as their sales networks to sell directly to medical clinics and hospitals.

Manufacturers

The Company does not have any designated manufacturers at this time.

Competition

The Company competes with other corporations that produce diabetes compliance devices and monitoring systems, some of whom have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. A few companies currently offer compliance monitoring systems but either a) at much higher prices b) have fewer benefits than our system or c) they do not have FDA clearance.   The Company’s competition includes, but is not limited to, WellDoc, Medtronics, iGlucose and Microsoft Healthvault.

We feel none of these companies currently offer a comprehensive compliance system that offers the full spectrum of benefits and features that our HeC system does with the potential cost efficiencies.

Patient compliance with medications is also being addressed with methods such as information pamphlets, compliance packaging, as well as other forms of devices. The devices include clocks, labels, organization systems, pagers as well as electronic remote diagnostic monitoring systems.  None of these offer comprehensive compliance reminders, monitoring and messaging. The health care home monitoring opportunity has been recognized by other companies and several are now either currently selling or are developing systems that could be competitive with the ALRT systems.

Recent Developments

On May 25, 2010, the Company finalized negotiations with Christine Kan, wife of the Chairman of the Board and CEO, for a line of credit borrowing arrangement for $1M. All funds borrowed bear interest at 1% per month, are due on demand and are secured by all the assets of the Company. To date, the Company has borrowed $249,444. The Company granted this creditor 10,000,000 stock options exercisable at $0.10 per share. During August 2010, the term of the option was extended to March 8, 2015.

Effective July 1, 2010, the following management changes occurred

-     
Lawrence Weinstein was appointed as President, Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and a Director of the Company
-     
Sidney Chan transitioned to Chairman of the Board while retaining the position of Chief Executive Officer
-

When Mr. Weinstein took office, he received 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at $0.025 per share as compensation for his initial three month term ended September 30, 2010 as President and COO. The common shares were issued to Mr. Weinstein in August 2010.

Also on July 1, 2010, the Company granted a total of 1,400,000 stock options to two creditors and a consultant of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at $0.25 per share and expire on June 30, 2015. The stock options granted have varying vesting terms for the different recipients.

On January 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Christine Kan to amend the original agreement for additional financing through its existing line of credit borrowing arrangement. Ms. Kan has granted the Company an increase in the borrowing limit from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. In exchange for providing the increased borrowing limit,

·     
Ms. Kan has been granted 20,000,000 stock options of the Company exercisable at $0.05 per share expiring November 29, 2015.
·     
A second modification of the terms of 10,000,000 stock options previously granted to Ms. Kan on March 7, 2010 and previously modified August 8, 2010. The terms have been modified as follows:
-     
Increased the number of stock options granted from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000
-     
Reduced the exercise price of the 20,000,000 stock options granted from $0.10 per share to $0.05 per share.

On March 6, 2011, the Chairman of the Company, Mr. Sidney Chan, established a line of credit of up to $2.5 million with the Company for the exclusive purpose of funding the costs of a comprehensive marketing campaign. Under a related agreement, also dated as of March 6, 2011, Mr. Chan has been granted 20,000,000 stock options of the Company exercisable at $0.125 per share, expiring March 5, 2016. Such options will vest on the basis of eight (8) options for each one ($1.00) dollar borrowed under the line of credit to meet the costs of the sales and marketing program. On October 24, 2011, the March 6, 2011 agreement was amended to allow the Company to borrow the remaining funds available for general corporate matters. As at December 31, 2011, 7,624,488 stock options had vested as a result of borrowings.

Also on March 6, 2011, the Company granted 250,000 stock options to Mr. Peter Stafford. The stock options were exercisable at $0.10 per share for five years from the date of grant. Furthermore, 200,000 stock options previously granted to Mr. Steven Brassard on July 1, 2010, were modified as follows:

ITEM 1A.       RISK FACTORS.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 1B.       UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.

ITEM 2.          PROPERTIES.

None.

ITEM 3.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2011 include $180,666 (December 31, 2010 -$180,666) of amounts owing to a supplier, which the Company has previously disputed and has refused to provide payment. The amount payable stems from services provided during 2004. The vendor has not sought any actions to collect the amounts and management does not expect to ever pay this amount.  Management asserts that the Company has no obligation to the vendor as the vendor did not perform the work sought as expected and the Company never took possession of the end product. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. Any additional liability realized, if any, will be recognized once the amount is determinable. Any gain on settlement of the account payable will be recorded in the period that an agreement with the supplier is reached and the amount becomes determinable.

Included in notes payable and accrued interest payable, are the following recognized liabilities relating which have involved legal proceedings:

1.  
During 2009, the following judgment was rendered: Niblock Financial Systems, Inc. et al v. ALR Technologies, Inc. Forsyth Count North Carolina File Number 0-9-CVS-2220. The judgment against the Company was in the amount of $600,000 in favor of Niblock Financial Systems, Inc. and $550,000 in favor of Gordon Niblock, plus court costs and attorney’s fees. The judgment was rendered as a result of the Company’s failure to pay amounts due under several promissory notes. On September 30, 2009, subject to the entry of that judgment, the Company reached a Settlement Agreement with the two plaintiffs, resulting in a cash payment, a credit to the judgment and an assignment of the Judgment to Christine Kan.  As part of the settlement, a former Director of the Company assigned debts of ALR to the plaintiffs. The debts originally having no terms of repayment were amended to have the following terms of repayment:

As part of the Settlement Agreement a director of the Company at the time assigned unsecured advances payable of the Company totaling $425,000 with no stated terms of interest or repayment to the plaintiffs. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to the following repayment terms:

-       $300,000 repayable at a rate of $25,000 per month and
-       $125,000 repayable in whole by January 15, 2011.

The plaintiffs (Niblock Financial Systems, Inc. et al) filed a motion of default against the Company (ALR Technologies, Inc.) in the Superior Court of Forsyth County, North Carolina (case number 10-CVS-685) for failure to meet the repayment terms of the $300,000 promissory note. On October 26, 2010, case 10-CVS-685 was heard and the court found in favor of the plaintiff, meaning the Company was ordered to repay full principle of $300,000 along with $11,000 of accrued interest from the original settlement date, being September 30, 2009. While the interest rate was not included in the original settlement agreement, the Company did not contest the inclusion of interest in the judgment.  The Company has not made any repayments under the terms of the settlement agreement for either the loan (and accrued interest) totaling $311,000, the loan totaling $125,000, or the judgment reached against the Company.

2.
Mr. Stan Link holds a note from the Company, which is in arrears. The matter was reduced to a Consent Judgment in the amount of $43,608.25 on April 13, 2009.

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

General

The Company’s business is focused on enhancement of adherence to disease and healthcare management programs through monitoring, reminders and improved communications. The Company’s primary business markets are the providers of health insurance and the providers of disease and case management services, including the home care industry.

The largest potential for sustainable long term growth and value generation lies with the market segments that have the most influence on the end-user and the most to gain from improved healthcare results. These market segments are the health insurance providers, and the medical clinics and physicians who provide the care for people with chronic disease.  Our focus is currently on the full cycle of health care providing including medical clinics, hospitals and health plans with diabetics being the initial patient targets.

Revenue

Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were nil. For the past several years, the Company has been devoting its efforts to developing the HeC patient monitoring and compliance system, a communications platform to allow health professionals and case managers to communicate as needed to the patient and/or to other health professionals.   In October 2011, the Company announced that it had received FDA clearance to sell the HeC in the United States. Since receiving FDA clearance, the Company’s senior leadership team has been presenting how the HeC system uniquely supports mutual priorities around improved patient care, healthcare cost-containment, accountability, and job creation based on the results from the clinical trials conducted and applied to studies surrounding diabetes management by numerous sources.

Product Development

During the 2011 fiscal year, the majority of the Company’s product development efforts were expended on:


 
-11-

 

·  
product enhancement to exceed the requirements of the FDA in order to obtain product clearance for the HeC (which was obtained in October 2011);
·  
the development of a comprehensive quality control system;
·  
the advancement of the HeC system in anticipation of an introduction to market during 2012, and
·  
the development of the universal cable.

With the completion of the HeC system, the Company is currently focusing its efforts on the commercial launch plans of the product and is currently conducting research activities for future attributes and applications for the HeC system.

Product development and research costs were $338,758 in 2011 and $249,870in 2010.

Operating Capital

The Company has no revenues and has not generated any revenues during the last two fiscal years.  The Company is funding operations via the line of credit financing it has available. The majority of the Company’s expenditures go towards product research and development, marketing expenses and administrative activities. At times, certain creditors have agreed to additional stock option grants in return for either 1) deferred payment on interest or 2) agreements of note extensions in other cases. All stock options granted as compensation for deferment of payment have been recorded at their value fair values using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and have been expensed over the agreed upon period of deferment where applicable.

Although cash flow from sales of products and services are expected during 2012, there is no certainty of this, and if sales do begin, there is no certainty that it will reach the level necessary to cover operating costs and costs to service the company’s debts. The Company has limited resources and is exploring un-established markets and methods for selling its products. Management believes the business plan of the Company will give it the best opportunity to achieve commercial feasibility but due to the nature of the HeC, there is substantial uncertainty over the Company’s ability to execute the plan, the level of success associated with the execution of its business plan or the actual timeline to execute the plan. If the actual timeline for the execution of the business plan is substantially longer than planned, it could jeopardize the Company’s long term success.

In May 2010, the Company finalized negotiations with Christine Kan (the “Creditor”) for a line of credit borrowing arrangement of $1M. The Creditor is the wife of Sidney Chan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. All funds borrowed bear interest at 1% per month, are due on demand and are secured by all the assets of the Company. As consideration for agreeing to provide the line of credit and advancing funds prior to finalization of the terms of the line of credit, on March 7, 2015 (reported on our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010), the Company granted the creditor 10,000,000 stock options exercisable at $0.10 per share with a fair value, as determined using the Black Scholes model, of approximately $410,000. During August 2010, the term of the option was extended to March 8, 2015 (reported on our Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010), which increased the fair value by approximately $86,000 to approximately $496,000.

On December 14, 2010, Ms. Irene Ho demanded that we repay her promissory note. No amount has been repaid to date and no terms were renegotiated. As at the date of this report, the total balance due is approximately $365,000.
 
 
On January 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Christine Kan for additional financing through its existing line of credit borrowing arrangement. Ms. Kan granted the Company an increase in the borrowing limit from$1,000,000 to $2,000,000. On May 25, 2010, the Company and Ms. Kan agreed to terms on the line of credit arrangement for $1,000,000. The line of credit will continue to bear simple interest at 1% per month on the borrowed balance, is due on demand and is secured by a general security agreement over all the tangible and intangible assets of the Company. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has borrowed $845,565.

In exchange for providing the increased borrowing limit, Ms. Kan has been granted 20,000,000 stock options of the Company exercisable at $0.05 per share expiring November 29, 2015. Also as consideration for providing this additional financing, the Company has modified the terms of 10,000,000 stock options granted to Ms. Kan on March 7, 2010 and modified August 8, 2010. The terms have been modified as follows:

 
-12-

 


 
§ 
Increased the number of stock options granted from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000
 
§ 
Reduced the exercise price of the 20,000,000 stock options granted from $0.10 per share to $0.05 per share.
 
§ 
The Company recognized additional expense of approximately $498,000 due to the modification of the existing award.

The Company owes Ms. Kan approximately $4,719,000 in promissory note payables, line of credit arrangements and other debts at December 31, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $3,500,000).

On March 6, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors determined it may need to conduct a major sales and marketing campaign in the United States and Canada during the next two years in order to promote its Health-e-Connect System (HeC). The Chairman of the Company, Mr. Sidney Chan, established a line of credit of up to $2.5 million with the Company for the exclusive purpose of funding the costs of a comprehensive marketing campaign. Under a related agreement, also dated as of March 6, 2011, Mr. Chan has been granted 20,000,000 stock options of the Company exercisable at $0.125 per share, expiring March 5, 2016. Such options will vest on the basis of eight (8) options for each one ($1.00) dollar borrowed under the line of credit to meet the costs of the sales and marketing program.

On April 30, 2011, the Company announced the signing of a Representation Agreement with Mantra Healthcare Solutions Inc. to market and sell the Health-e-Connect System (“HeC”) effective June 1, 2011, as part of the comprehensive marketing campaign announced March 6, 2011.  This agreement was canceled effective September 15, 2011.  The Company and Mantra both executed a mutual release and discharge of the Representation Agreement.

Effective October 23, 2011, the agreement entered into with Sidney Chan was amended to allow the Company to use the remaining balance available on the $2.5M line of credit for general corporate purposes including marketing and advertising purposes. Aside from the amendment for the use of the funds, the agreement otherwise remained the same.

As at December 31, 2011, the Company had available borrowing in excess of $1.9M. Management believes this will provide the sufficient financing to allow the Company to become a commercially viable enterprise, whereby it can generate sufficient cash flow from the sales of its HeC product to support its cost of operations and overhead. There is no certainty that the Company will ever be able to achieve the level of sales necessary to cover operating costs or achieve the level of sales before the borrowing limits on the lines of credit financing are reached. The Company may require additional financing in the future for which there is no guarantee it will receive, furthermore, even if the Company is able to achieve sufficient cash flows to support operations, it will need to service its debt obligations, which as of December 31, 2011 were $10,997,679.

Management Compensation

During 2011, the Company’s three officers were all paid from the line of credit financing available.

-  
Sidney Chan, Chief Executive Officer, accrues $15,800 per month, all of which was recorded as an increase to the borrowings on the lines of credit provided by himself and his wife during the 2011 fiscal year.

-  
Lawrence Weinstein, President, was paid $13,000 per month and was not owed any funds as of December 31, 2011

-  
Jaroslav Tichy, Vice President of Technology, earns $5,000 per month and received payments of $55,000 during the 2011 fiscal year. As at December 31, 2011, directly and indirectly, Mr. Tichy is owed a total of $101,000, all except for $5,000 relates to services performed in past years

The Company issues stock options as compensation from time to time. During 2011, Mr. Weinstein was granted 1,000,000 stock options for services provided. All shares issued and stock options granted were recorded at their fair values.

Operating Issues

The Company has expended significant efforts introducing the HeC system to specified retail chains, pharmaceutical manufacturers, Contract Research Organizations, Health Management Organizations, Pharmacy Benefits Managers and certain clinics treating specific disease conditions. The Company has not had material sales for several years. During the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, the Company has devoted 100% of its efforts to developing the HeC system for commercial launch. Management plans to become a commercially viable enterprise through sales of the HeC Diabetes Health Management System.

If management is not successful in its plans, they may be required to raise additional funds from its existing and prospective shareholders, which it may not be able to accomplish on satisfactory terms for the Company.

Results of Operations

December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010

Sales for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $nil as the Company continued to focus its resources on development of the HeC and the development of a business network of pilot programs.

Product development costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $338,758 as compared to $249,870 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The majority of the costs incurred related to a) services provided by contractors of the Company b) product studies and c) clinical trials The increase in product development costs of $88,888 or 36% is a result of additional costs incurred related to consulting, personnel and hardware, to meet and adapt the HeC product to for requirements of the FDA. The Company received FDA approval in October 2011.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $3,312,298, as compared to $1,238,192 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in interest expense of $2,074,106 or 168% is a result of interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $2,408,193 (2010 - $546,619) representing the fair value of stock options issued to Sidney Chan and Christine Kan for providing line of credit financing.

Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $149,597 as compared to $124,108 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in professional fees of $25,489 or 21% is due to stock options granted to accounting and legal advisors during the year. On March 6, 2011, the Company granted 250,000 stock options to a legal consultant that was exercisable at $0.10 per share for five years from the date of grant. Furthermore, 200,000 stock options granted to an accounting consultant were modified as follows:

·   all 200,000 stock options are to vest immediately
·   the exercise price of the option was reduced from $0.25 per share to $0.10 per share.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $820,663 as compared to $458,854 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $361,809 or 79% can be substantially attributed to the following: 1) stock option benefits in the amount of $209,888 to an employee 2) an increase in employee wages incurred totaling $79,500 as the employee worked 12 months during 2011 as opposed to 6 months during 2010; 3) stock option benefits in the amount of $20,988 to a consultant and 4) market development and investor relations fees totaling $78,750.

The increase in interest payable of $504,402 relates to amounts incurred on promissory notes with stated rates of interest.

The Company obtained a line of credit of US$1,000,000 from a relative of a director in March 2010 (the terms of which were finalized in May 2010) which is unsecured with interest payable on funds borrowed at 1% per month. These proceeds were to be put toward working capital and the continued development of the Company’s product line. On January 3, 2011, the Creditor granted the Company an increase in the borrowing limit from$1,000,000 to $2,000,000. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has borrowed $1,610,000 and incurred interest of $197,000.  During the 2011 fiscal year, the Company borrowed $765,000 and incurred interest of $154,000.

On March 6, 2011, the Company obtained a $2,500,000 line of credit from Sidney Chan, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Originally, the line of credit was for a comprehensive marketing program, but subsequently was amended to be for general corporate purposes. During 2011, the Company borrowed $953,000 and incurred interest of $50,000.

Short and Long Term Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past several fiscal years (2011 - $5,276,669; 2010 - $2,075,129), is currently unable to self-finance its operations, has a working capital deficit of $10,983,062 (2010 - $8,613,509), an accumulated deficit of $37,532,066 (2010 - $32,255,397), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow, no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further product development and operations and no assurance the Company’s current projects will be commercially viable or profitable.


 
-15-

 

All of the Company’s debt financing is due on demand. The Company will seek to obtain creditors’ consent to delay repayment of these loans until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While certain of the Company’s creditors have agreed not to demand immediate payment or to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. As the Company is past due or in default on its promissory notes payable and accrued interest payable, there is substantial risk of future legal action against the Company. Failure to obtain either replacement financing or creditor consent to delay the repayment of existing financing could result in the Company having to cease operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the accounting polices that are most critical to its financial condition and results of operations and involve management’s judgment and/or evaluations of inherent uncertain factors are as follows:

Development stage company. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, developing operating assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 Development Stage Entities. While the Company generated revenues from its previous generation of products, the Company has not generated any revenues from its current principal operations, and there is no assurance of future revenues.

Options and warrants issued in consideration for debt. The Company allocates the proceeds received from long-term debt between the liability and the options and warrants issued in consideration for the debt, based on their relative fair values, at the time of issuance. The amount allocated to the options or warrants is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a discount to the related debt. The discount is amortized to interest expense on a yield basis over the term of the related debt.

Stock-based compensation.  The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”).  SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Stock-based compensation recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of the stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest during the period.  The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123R.  The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined using historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.  The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance that requires more robust disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements and the transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (which is January 1, 2010 for the Company) except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years (which is January 1, 2011 for the Company). Early application is encouraged. The revised guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of ALR Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ALR Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from October 21, 1998 (Inception) through December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ALR Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and the period from October 21, 1998 (Inception) through December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a loss from operations and an accumulated deficit of $37,532,066 at December 31, 2011. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, has promissory notes payable and related interest payable past due and has not established commercial viability of its products. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters, which are further described in Note 1, are to use its available borrowing capacity through its short-term credit facilities provided by related parties, raise additional debt or equity capital, and continue to progress towards commercial viability of its products. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
($ United States)


1.     Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern

ALR Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp. On October 21, 1998 the Company acquired a subsidiary, which was subsequently disposed of, through a reverse take-over acquisition. On December 28, 1998, the Company changed its name to ALR Technologies Inc. On April 15, 2008, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada under the name Canada ALRTech Health Systems Inc.The Company has developed a line of medication compliance reminder devices and compliance monitoring systems that will assist people with taking their medications and treatments on time and allow for health care professionals to remotely monitor and intervene as necessary if a person is noncompliant. On October 17, 2011 the Company announced that it had received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration for its Health-e-Connect (HeC) System. The Company is currently assessing the marketplace for its product in preparation for its commercial launch.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a going-concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption.  The Company has incurred significant losses over the past several fiscal years (2011 - $5,276,669; 2010 - $2,075,129), is currently unable to self-finance its operations, has a working capital deficit of $10,983,062 (2010 - $8,613,509), accumulated deficit of $37,532,066 (2010 - $32,255,397), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow, and no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct continued product development activities. If the Company is able to finance its required product development activities, there is no assurance the Company’s current projects will be commercially viable or profitable.  The Company has debts comprised of accounts payable, payroll payable, advances, interest, lines of credit and promissory notes payable totaling $10,997,680 currently due, due on demand or considered delinquent. There is no assurance that the Company will not face additional legal action from creditors regarding delinquent accounts payable, payroll payable, advances, promissory notes and interest payable. Any one or a combination of these above conditions could result in the failure of the business and cause the Company to cease operations

The Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to fund working capital and overhead requirements, fund the development of the Company’s product line and ultimately, the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations and repay overdue obligations. Management has obtained short-term financing from related parties through lines of credit facilities with available borrowing up to $4.5 million (As of December 31, 2011 the total balance outstanding was $2,812,166). The resolution of whether the Company is able to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the realization of management’s plans. If additional financing is required, the Company plans to raise needed capital through the exercise of share options and by future common share private placements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional debt or equity capital from the sources described above, or that the lenders in the line of credit arrangements will maintain the availability of borrowing from the line. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining short-term financing or achieving long-term profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations.

ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
($ United States)


1.     Basis of Presentation, Nature of Operations and Going Concern (continued)

All of the Company’s debt is either due on demand or is in default and is now due on demand, while continuing to accrue interest at its stated rate. The Company will seek to obtain creditors’ consents to delay repayment of the outstanding promissory notes payable and related interest thereto, until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, recapitalization with replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements. While some of the Company’s creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. In the past, creditors have successfully commenced legal action against the Company to recover debts outstanding. In those instances, the Company was able to obtain financing from related parties to cover the verdict or settlement; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the same financing in the future. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing to cover any potential verdicts or settlements, the Company will be required to cease operations.

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2012. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s continued product development and distribution efforts. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with the lines of credit it has available.

While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.


2.     Significant accounting policies

a)     Development stage company

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, developing operating assets and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915 Development Stage Entities. While the Company generated revenues from its previous generation of products, the Company has not generated any revenues from its current principal operations, and there is no assurance of future revenues.

b)     Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its integrated wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

c)     Options and warrants issued in consideration for debt.

The Company allocates the proceeds received from debt between the liability and the options and warrants issued in consideration for the debt, based on their relative fair values, at the time of issuance. The amount allocated to the options or warrants is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a discount to the related debt. The discount is amortized to interest expense on a yield basis over the term of the related debt.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
($ United States)


2.     Significant accounting policies (continued)

d)     Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

e)     Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards that are available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess.

The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, Income Taxes.  Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.  It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

f)     Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.      Significant accounting policies (continued)

g)     Loss per share

Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted loss per common shares when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

h)     Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties that are probable of realization are separately recorded, and are not offset against the related liability.

i)     Segmented information

The Company primarily operates in one reportable segment, the medical devices segment, in the United States. The majority of the Company’s assets are located in United States.

j)      Comprehensive income

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

k)     Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes payable, accrued interest payable and lines of credit.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.  For fair value measurement, U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 — observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 — unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

l)      Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

i.   Adopted

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)  issued revised authoritative guidance that requires more robust disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements and the transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (which is January 1, 2010 for the Company) except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years (which is January 1, 2011 for the Company). Early application is encouraged. The revised guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ii.  Issued

In May 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.  The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.


3.     Interest, advances and promissory notes payable

On September 4, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Credit to Judgment from the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina, whereby the Company was ordered to pay two creditors holding promissory notes payable (the “plaintiffs”) an aggregate amount of $1,988,000 for principal, interest and legal fees incurred. Subsequent to the verdict, the Company, two directors, a relative of a director (the “Purchaser”) and the plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby a relative of a director acquired $1,313,000 of debts from the plaintiffs in a private transaction. The remaining $675,000 due to the plaintiffs was exchanged for common shares of the Company as part of a separate debt for shares settlement (note 6). As part of the Settlement Agreement, a second director, not related to the Purchaser, assigned unsecured advances payable of the Company with no stated terms of interest, totaling $425,000, to the plaintiffs. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to the following repayment terms:

-       $300,000 repayable at a rate of $25,000 per month (note 6); and
-       $125,000 repayable in whole by January 15, 2011.

a)     Authorized share capital

350,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share

b)     Issued share capital

On July 1, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with an Officer to issue 2,000,000 common shares as compensation for the initial three months of services provided by the Officer to the Company.

The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. Any adjustment will be recorded in the period that an agreement with the supplier is reached and the amount becomes determinable.

The Company has had three judgments made against it relating to overdue promissory notes and accrued interest and a fourth creditor has demanded repayment of an overdue promissory note and accrued interest. To date, the Company has not repaid any of these promissory notes and related accrued interest and could be subject to further action. The legal liability, totaling $879,000, of these promissory notes and related accrued interest have been fully recognized and recorded by the Company.

9.     Financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances payable, interest payable and promissory notes payable.

Fair value

The fair values of cash and certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.

Certain accounts payable have been outstanding longer than one year. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the period the payables have been outstanding for longer than one year, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital. The calculated amount represents the implicit compensation for the use of funds beyond a reasonable term for regular trade payables.

For the purposes of fair value analysis, promissory notes payable can be separated into three classes of financial liabilities.

i.      Interest-bearing promissory notes, lines of credit and related interest payable
ii.     Non-interest-bearing promissory notes past due

The interest-bearing promissory notes payable are all delinquent and have continued to accrue interest at their stated rates. The Company currently does not have the funds to extinguish these debts and will continue to incur interest until such time as the liabilities are extinguished. There is not an active market for delinquent loans for a Company with a similar financial position. Management asserts the carrying values of the promissory notes and related interest payable are a reasonable estimate of fair value as they represent the Company’s best estimate of their legal obligation for these debts. As there is no observable market for interest rates on similar promissory notes, the fair value was estimated using level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has three non-interest-bearing promissory notes payable past due. The first is several years delinquent and there have been no renegotiated repayment terms. There is not an active market for default loans not bearing interest nor is there an observable market for lending to companies with a financial position similar to the Company. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the promissory notes, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds.  Management asserts the payment date for these amounts cannot be reasonably determined. Management further asserts there is not a determinable interest rate for arm’s-length borrowings based on the current financial position of the Company and asserts the carrying value is the best estimate of the Company’s legal liability and represents the fair value for the promissory note. This would be considered a level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of advances payable cannot be determined as they are related party amounts that have no stated terms of repayment. There is no market for similar instruments. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the advances payable, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds.

9.     Financial instruments (continued)

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash. The Company only has an immaterial cash balance and is not exposed to significant credit risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.  Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

i.      Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk consists of two components:

a)     Cash Flow Risk

To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.

The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on promissory notes payable of $500,000, which incur a variable interest rate of prime plus 1%. A hypothetical change of 1% on interest rates would increase or decrease net loss and comprehensive loss by $5,000.

b)     Price Risk

To the extent that changes in prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rate on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to price risk.

The Company’s promissory notes payable consist of $500,000 of variable interest rate notes and $4,786,319 of fixed interest rate notes. All of these notes are past due and are currently due on demand while interest continues to accrue. Due to the delinquency of the fixed interest rate promissory notes payable, there is no active market for these instruments and fluctuations in market interest rates do not have a significant impact on their estimated fair values as of December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the effect on the net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 1% in market interest rate cannot be reasonably determined.

Foreign currency risk

The Company incurs certain accounts payable, advances payable and expenses in Canadian dollars and is exposed to fluctuations in changes in exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. As at December 31, 2011, the effect on net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 10% between the US and Canadian dollar would not be material. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate risk.

10.   Income taxes:

The provision for income taxes differs from the result that would be obtained by applying the statutory tax rate of 34% (2011 - 34%) to income before income taxes. The difference results from the following items:

The potential benefit of the deferred income tax asset has not been recognized in these financial statements since it cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

The Company believes that the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of the deferred income tax assets such that a full valuation allowance has been recorded.

The operating losses amounting to $26,123,845, for utilization in the Nevada State jurisdiction they were incurred, will expire between 2019 and 2031 if they are not used.

ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

There were no changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

ITEM 9A.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in the Company’s reports to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to ALR Technologies Inc., including the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at these reasonable assurance levels.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and

 
-42-

 

board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, the management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the management’s assessment, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.

Based on this assessment, we found our internal control over financial reporting to be not effective for the following reasons:

(1)       
lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
(2)       
insufficient written policies and procedures for reporting requirements and accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements

Management of the Company believes that the material weaknesses set forth in (2) did not affect the Company’s financial results. The Company retains a consultant who has the technical expertise and knowledge to implement the proper segregation of duties and the development of effective internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is developing internal controls over financial reporting to meet its current and projected future needs.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors resulting in not effective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in material deficiencies in the Company’s determination to its financial statements for future years.

The Company currently does not have any independent directors as it believes the cost of obtaining their services are prohibitive at the current stage of operations, it is currently developing its compensation package to attract desirable candidates in anticipation of reaching commercial feasibility.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directs on the Company’s board. Management believes the appointment of independent directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues that the Company may encounter in the future.


 
-43-

 

In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy that following material weaknesses: (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of the US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
