NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1)           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information of SecureAlert, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SecureAlert”) has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  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 December 31, 2010, and results of its operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended September 30, 2010.  The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.

(2)           GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. Despite having two consecutive years of improvement in gross profit, operating loss and net loss, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  In order for the Company to achieve successful operations, the Company must generate positive cash flows from operating activities and obtain the necessary funding to meet its projected capital investment requirements.

Management’s plans with respect to this uncertainty include raising additional capital from the issuance of preferred stock and expanding its market for its ReliAlert™ portfolio of products.  There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses and repay debts.  If the Company is unable to increase cash flows from operating activities or obtain additional financing, it will be unable to continue the development of its products and may have to cease operations.

(3)           PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SecureAlert, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(4)           RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2009, the FASB issued guidance that changes the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under its Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables codification. The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: 1) it eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of the fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and 2) it eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to th e beginning of the year of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2010 which did not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance regarding when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying. This guidance amends the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, early adoption is prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

7

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance on “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”. This guidance specifies that revenue and earnings of material combined entities should be disclosed as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period when comparative financial statements are presented. It also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.  This guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting per iod after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

(5)           IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL

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. The Company uses an equity method of the related asset or group of assets in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its market 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 market value that is independent of other groups of assets.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not find any indicators of impairment nor did it impair any long-lived assets.

(6)           REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue has historically been from two sources: (i) monitoring services; and (ii) product sales.

Monitoring Services

Monitoring services include two components: (a) lease contracts in which the Company provides monitoring services and leases devices to distributors or end users and the Company retains ownership of the leased device; and (b) monitoring services purchased by distributors or end users who have previously purchased monitoring devices and opt to use the Company’s monitoring services.

The Company typically leases its devices under one-year contracts with customers that opt to use the Company’s monitoring services.  However, these contracts may be cancelled by either party at anytime with 30 days notice.  Under the Company’s standard leasing contract, the leased device becomes billable on the date of activation or seven days from the date the device is assigned to the lessee, and remains billable until the device is returned to the Company.  The Company recognizes revenue on leased devices at the end of each month that monitoring services have been provided.  In those circumstances in which the Company receives payment in advance, the Company records these payments as deferred revenue.

Product Sales

The Company may sell its monitoring devices in certain situations to its customers. In addition, the Company may sell equipment in connection with the building out and setting up a monitoring center on behalf of its customers. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists, title passes to the customer and the customer cannot return the devices or equipment, prices are fixed or determinable (including sales not being made outside the normal payment terms) and collection is reasonably assured. When purchasing products (such as TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™devices) from the Company, customers may, but are not required to, enter into monitoring service contracts with the Company.  The Company recognizes revenue on monitoring services fo r customers that have previously purchased devices at the end of each month that monitoring services have been provided.

Multiple Element Arrangements

The majority of the Company’s revenue transactions do not have multiple elements. However, on occasion, the Company enters into revenue transactions that have multiple elements.  These may include different combinations of products or monitoring services that are included in a single billable rate.  These products or monitoring services are delivered over time as the customer utilizes the Company's services.  For revenue arrangements that have multiple elements, the Company considers whether the delivered devices have standalone value to the customer, there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered monitoring services, which is generally determined by surveying the price of co mpetitors’ comparable monitoring services, and the customer does not have a general right of return.  Based on these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of devices separately from the monitoring services provided to the customer as the products or monitoring services are delivered.

8

Other Matters

The Company considers an arrangement with payment terms longer than the Company’s normal terms not to be fixed or determinable, and revenue is recognized when the fee becomes due.  Normal payment terms for the sale of monitoring services are 30 days, and normal payment terms for device sales are between 120 and 180 days.  The Company sells its devices and services directly to end users and to distributors.  Distributors do not have general rights of return.  Also, distributors have no price protection or stock protection rights with respect to devices sold to them by the Company.  Generally, title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon delivery of the devices.

The Company estimates its product returns based on historical experience and maintains an allowance for estimated returns, which is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable and revenue.

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net revenues.  The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of revenues.

(7)           GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company began recognizing revenues from international sources from its products and monitoring services.  Revenues are attributed to the geographic areas based on the location of the customers purchasing and leasing the products.  The revenues recognized by geographic area for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	December 31,
	2010		2009
United States of America	$	3,314,440	$	3,196,623
Federative Republic of Brazil		180,610		-
Commonwealth of the Bahamas		180,000		-
Other foreign countries		1,914		-
Total	$	3,676,964	$	3,196,623

The long-lived assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, used in the generation of revenues by geographic area as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 were as follows:

	Net Property and Equipment				Net Monitoring Equipment
	December 31, 2010		September 30, 2010		December 31, 2010		September 30, 2010

Commonwealth of the Bahamas		5,815		6,542		26,452		-
Other foreign countries		-		-		1,852		1,991
Total	$	1,500,032	$	1,485,322	$	1,805,282	$	1,683,356

(8)           NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

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

Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders 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.

9

Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants, and shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 264,934,961 and 96,072,569 outstanding common share equivalents, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.  The common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

	December 31, 2010		December 31, 2009
Potential conversion of $474,851 and $10,560,828 of debt and accrued interest, respectively		4,748,510		51,824,404
Potential conversion of 34,791 and zero shares of Series D Preferred stock, respectively		208,746,000		-
Potential exercise of outstanding common stock options and warrants of which 6,313,131 and 3,314,334, respectively, have not yet vested		27,440,451		20,248,165
Potential exercise of 4,000 and 4,000 outstanding Series D Preferred stock options and warrants, respectively		24,000,000		24,000,000
Total common stock equivalents		264,934,961		96,072,569

(9)           INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost or market.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  Market is determined based on the estimated net realizable value, which generally is the item selling price.  Inventory is periodically reviewed in order to identify obsolete or damaged items or impaired values.

Inventory consists of products that are available for sale and raw materials used in the manufacturing of TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices.  Completed TrackerPAL™ and ReliAlert™ devices are reflected in Monitoring Equipment.  As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, inventory consisted of the following:

	December 31, 2010			September 30, 2010
Raw materials	$	417,446		$	392,647
Reserve for damaged or obsolete inventory		(61,676	)		(47,118	)
Total inventory, net of reserves	$	355,770		$	345,529

(10)           PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

SecureAlert, Inc.  Aculis, Inc. filed a complaint against us in the Fourth District Court in and for Utah County, Utah, on June 7, 2010, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and a claim for $208,889 in unpaid products and services, incremental to the $4,840,891 we have already paid to Aculis.  We filed a Motion to Dismiss for Improper Venue or for Change of Venue and supporting memorandum on July 16, 2010.  Aculis filed its Memorandum in Opposition to the Motion to Dismiss on August 5, 2010.  Our reply memorandum was filed on August 16, 2010.  We intend to vigorously defend our interests and to pursue appropriate counterclaims against Aculis.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking Statements

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are contained in this Report, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed with the SEC through the date of this Report. Except as otherwise indicated, as used in this Report, the terms “the Company,” “SecureAlert,” “we,” “our,” “us,” refer to SecureAlert, Inc., a Utah corporation formerly known as RemoteMDx, Inc.

General

We market and deploy offender management programs, combining patented GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking technologies, fulltime 24/7/365 intervention-based monitoring capabilities and case management services.  Our vision is to become the market leader for delivering offender management solutions that integrate interaction technologies.  We believe that we currently deliver the only offender management technology which integrates GPS, RF (Radio Frequency) and an interactive 3-way voice communication system with siren capabilities into a single device, deployable on offenders worldwide.  Through our patented electronic monitoring technologies and services, we empower la w enforcement, corrections and rehabilitation professionals with offender, defendant, probationer and parolee programs, which grant individuals an accountable opportunity to be “free from prison,” while providing for greater public safety at a lower cost in comparison to incarceration or traditional resource-intensive alternatives.

Strategy

We will accomplish our objectives through the “value-driven,” yet profitable deployment of a portfolio of proprietary and non-proprietary GPS/RF tracking (which may include alcohol and/or drug tracking), real-time monitoring and intervention products and services to corrections, probation, law enforcement and rehabilitation personnel worldwide, all in support of offender reformation and re-socialization initiatives.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 included in our Form 10-K, as amended, we discuss those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial position.

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

Recent Developments

Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the following events occurred:

1) On February 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement with the Federal Government of Mexico to provide services in 2011 on behalf of the Secretary of Public Security (SSP) and the citizens of Mexico.

2) We issued 6,853,461 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2010 for Series D Preferred stock dividends, valued at $621,871.

3) We issued 100,000 shares of common stock to an employee, valued at $11,000.

4) We issued 294,285 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2010 contingency payments in connection with SMI Series A Preferred stock, valued at $27,957.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to three months ended December 31, 2009

Revenues

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we had revenues from operations of $3,676,964, compared to $3,196,623 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $480,341 (15%).  Of these revenues, $3,420,350 and $3,146,253 were from monitoring services for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $274,097 (9%).  The increase in monitoring service revenues of $274,097 resulted primarily from two new contracts awarded to us to provide monitoring services of offenders in foreign countries.  Product revenues increased from $50,370 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $256,614 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $206,244. The increase in product revenues of $206,244 resulted primarily from $180,000 of revenues recognized from the build out of a monitoring center in the Bahamas. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, revenues from one piece activated GPS tracking devices supported entirely about a single limb of the monitored person equated to $1,543,035 and $1,514,514, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

For the three months ended December 31, 2010, cost of revenues declined to $1,863,250 from $1,965,738 during the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $102,488 (5%).  Of these costs, $1,701,500 and $1,951,117 were costs associated with providing monitoring services for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of $249,617 (13%).  The decrease in cost of revenues in connection with providing monitoring services resulted primarily from a reduction in communication cost of $260,600.  Costs associated with product revenues were $161,750 and $14,621 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, an increase of $147,129. The increase in costs associated with product revenues was primarily attributable to the build out of a monitoring center in the Bahamas, which resulted in $146,202 of expenses.

20

Gross Profit and Margin

While focusing on the reductions in cost of revenues, we have been able to increase gross profit from $1,230,885, or 39% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009, to $1,813,714, or 49% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Improving gross profit has been achieved primarily through reduced communication and direct labor cost initiatives and software enhancements.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, research and development expense was $330,828 and $287,717, respectively, and consisted primarily of expenses associated with the development of the ReliAlert™ device and related services both domestically and internationally.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses from operations were $3,411,089 compared to $3,472,775 during the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease of $61,686 is primarily due to decreases in consulting of $567,416 and legal and professional expense of $201,753.  The decreases are partially offset by increases in payroll and related taxes and benefits of $275,175, travel and related expenses of $120,032, and insurance costs of $68,345.

Interest Expense

During the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, interest expense related to operations totaled $154,149 and $1,463,142, respectively. The decrease of $1,308,993 in interest expense resulted primarily from converting several debt instruments into Series D Preferred stock during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are currently unable to finance our business solely from cash flows from operating activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we supplemented cash flows to finance our business from the issuance of debt and equity securities, providing net cash proceeds from financing activities of $2,211,576.

As of December 31, 2010, we had unrestricted cash of $660,584 and a working capital deficit of $3,242,354, compared to unrestricted cash of $1,126,232 and a working capital deficit of $3,394,932 as of September 30, 2010.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, our operating activities used cash of $2,232,957, compared to $1,564,217 of cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

We used cash of $444,267 for investing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $151,202 of cash used in investing activities in the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2010, provided cash of $2,211,576 compared to $1,531,304 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we had net proceeds of $2,537,500 from the issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred stock, $501,021 from the issuance of notes payable, and $300,000 from the issuance of related-party notes payable.  Cash decreased by $727,425 in connection with payments on notes payable and $300,000 in connection with payments on related-party notes payable, and $99,520 of payments on a related-party line of credit.  Cash provided by financing activities was used to fund operating activities and purchase monitoring equipment.

We incurred a net loss of $2,069,733 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and a loss from operations of $1,928,203. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $221,224,655 as of December 31, 2010.  These factors, as well as the risk factors set out in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended September 30, 2010 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Our plans with respect to this uncertainty include raising additional capital from the issuance of preferred stock and expanding its market for our ReliAlert™ portfolio of products.  There can be no assurance that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses and repay debts.  If we are unable to increase cash flows from operating activities or obtain additional financing, we will be unable to continue the development of our products and may have to cease operations.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Foreign Currency Risks.  We had $362,524 and $0 in revenues from sources outside the United States for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Sales of monitoring equipment during the periods indicated were transacted in U.S. dollars and, therefore, we did not experience any effect from foreign currency exchange in connection with these international sales.  We occasionally purchase goods and services in foreign currencies which resulted in currency exchange rate losses of $97 and $5,937 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Changes in currency exchange rates affect the relative prices at which we sell our products and purchase goods and services.  Given the uncertainty of exchange rate fluctuations, we cannot estimate the effect of these fluctuations on our future business, product pricing, results of operations, or financial condition.

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

Interest Rate Risks.  As of December 31, 2010, we had $1,000,000 of borrowings outstanding on a line of credit with a bank with an interest rate of 3.25%.  The interest rate on this line of credit is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management evaluated,  with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of the our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a s amended.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended December 31, 2010 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT 31 (i)

CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

I, David G. Derrick, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of SecureAlert, Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
