Historical Overview

CareView Communications, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California in July 1997 under the name Purpose, Inc., changing its name to Ecogate, Inc. in April 1999. In October 2007, the Company changed its name to CareView Communications, Inc. and in November 2007, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Nevada. (See Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto, Exhibits 3.0 through 3.11 inclusive, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

From inception through September 28, 2007, the principal business of the Company was the development of a computer-controlled system as a value added component to industrial ventilation systems (dust/fume/mist) to improve energy efficiency (the “Ecogate System”). The Ecogate System allows dust collection systems to run more efficiently with an electricity savings of 50-80% over other systems. The Ecogate System can be used anywhere that industrial ventilation is a necessary part of production, such as automobile manufacturing, metal working, woodworking, dental labs, pharmaceutical factories and food processing plants. Ecogate, Inc. shipped orders for over 2,000 small and medium-sized systems and more than 110 large industrial systems with installations in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the European Union. The Ecogate System has been used by Boeing Corporation, U.S. Army, Ethan Allen, and Sauder Woodworking (the largest producer of ready-to-assemble furniture in the world). Ecogate, Inc. has registered trade names and patents covering their systems in the U.S. with patents pending in the European Union and China.

In conjunction with the acquisition of CareView Communications, Inc., as outlined in the following paragraph, all of the assets and liabilities of Ecogate, Inc. were transferred to a Nevada corporation where the business of Ecogate, Inc. continues as a private company.

On September 28, 2007, Ecogate, Inc. entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “CareView Acquisition Agreement”) with CareView Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”), and the shareholders of CareView-TX, whereby Ecogate, Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CareView-TX in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 87,684,910 shares of Ecogate, Inc. (the “CareView Acquisition”). Accordingly, CareView-TX became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ecogate, Inc. and the business of CareView-TX became the Company’s sole operating business and focus. (See Securities Exchange Agreement, Exhibit 2.0, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Subsequently, Ecogate, Inc. changed its name to CareView Communications, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Company developed a suite of products and hardware to help connect patients, families and health care providers through one easy-to-install and simple-to-use system (the “CareView System™”). The Company’s proprietary, high-speed data network system may be deployed throughout a healthcare facility using the facility’s existing cable television infrastructure. Installation of the CareView System™ requires minimal Internet technology (“IT”) interfaces, little or no rewiring, and no capital expenditure by the facility, and it provides the facility with recurring revenue and infrastructure for future applications. Real-time bedside and point-of-care video monitoring and recording improve efficiency while limiting liability, and entertainment packages and patient education enhance the patient’s quality of stay. CareView is dedicated to working with all types of hospitals, nursing homes, adult living centers and selected outpatient care facilities domestically and internationally.

On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Rockwell”), wherein the Company and Rockwell formed CareView-Hillcrest, LLC and CareView-Saline, LLC, both Texas limited liability companies (the “LLCs”). Under the terms of a Master Investment Agreement, the Company and Rockwell each own 50% of the LLCs with Rockwell providing the financing and the Company providing the technology and expertise to fully

implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas. (See Business of Issuer, Joint Venture with Rockwell Holdings beginning at page 19 herein and Exhibits 10.44 through 10.53 inclusive, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Throughout this Registration Statement, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “CareView,” or “our Company” refers to CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and unless otherwise specified, includes its wholly owned subsidiaries, CareView-TX and CareView Operations, LLC (or the “Company’s subsidiaries”), and its LLCs, CareView-Hillcrest, LLC and CareView-Saline, LLC, in which it has a controlling interest

Overview of Healthcare Industry Issues and CareView’s Response

The healthcare market targeted by CareView may be considered the nation’s largest single industry. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) f/k/a the Health Care Financing Administration, estimated that the U.S. is projected to spend over $2.7 trillion on health care in 2011, or $8,160 per U.S. resident, and is projected to account for 17.6% of the U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”). In contrast, in 1970, U.S. health care spending was about $75 billion, or $356 per resident, and accounted for only 7.2% of GDP. On average, health care spending has risen almost 2.4 percentage points faster than GDP since 1970. CMS projects that by 2018, health care spending will be over $4.3 trillion, or $13,100 per resident, and will account for 20.3% of GDP.

While demand for quality healthcare services continues to grow, efforts to stem rising costs have subjected the present healthcare environment to pressures from managed care organizations, cutbacks in federal funding and shrinking budgets, primarily due to a longer living senior population, higher ticket technology advances, and the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. As there has not been a commensurate increase in federal funding programs (a payment reduction of 2.9% to hospitals in 2011) or payments from third parties to support such growth, the pressures of cost containment are expected to continue. CareView believes that strategies to enhance quality and safety, improve efficiency, and provide greater patient satisfaction will meet the growing demand of a more educated, demanding patient.

Recently, the American Hospital Association (“AHA”) reported that hospitals are facing unprecedented challenges; all which impact the cost of health care, including:

 

   

workforce shortages,

 

   

continued increases in professional liability premiums,

 

   

improving quality of care and patient safety,

 

   

need for additional technology investment,

 

   

increased regulatory burden, and

 

   

reimbursement issues.

Workforce Shortages

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, there is and has been a nationwide shortage of nurses in U.S. hospitals and the vacancy rates of registered nurses (“RNs”), licensed practical nurses (“LPNs”) and nursing assistants stands at nearly ten percent (10%). Current estimates suggest that the nursing shortage is projected to grow to 260,000 RNs by 2025. A shortage of this magnitude would be twice as large as any nursing shortage experienced in the U.S. since the mid-1960s. Because RNs over the age of fifty (50) will soon be the largest age group in the nursing workforce, their retirement over the next decade will lead to a projected shortfall developing by 2018.

In July 2009, NSI Nursing Solutions, Inc. (“NSI”), the industry leader in high volume recruitment for American experienced nurses and allied health professionals, invited hospitals all across the country to participate in the nation’s most comprehensive survey on healthcare and RN turnover, hospital retention

programs and their strategic development. NSI recently presented its first annual National Healthcare and RN Retention Report compiled from information obtained from hospitals in 35 states. Regarding the turnover rate for RNs, the study found that:

 

   

42% of facilities had an RN turnover rate of between 5 to 10%,

 

   

25% of facilities had an RN turnover rate of less than 5%,

 

   

23% of facilities had an RN turnover rate of between 10.01% and 15%, and

 

   

10% of facilities had an RN turnover rate of more than 15%.

The study found that the national average of RN turnover rate is over 14%, with hospitals averaging slightly over 10%. The first year turnover for RNs was over 27%.

In July 2005, The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that jobs for direct-care workers in long-term care settings will grow by about 800,000 by 2010, or roughly 45%, while more than one million new and replacement nurses will be needed across the entire medical field by 2012. Findings showed nearly 96,000 vacant nursing positions in long-term care facilities and a staff turnover rate that exceeded 50% (of which more than 28% was comprised of RNs and LPNs). The report found that the nursing shortage is costing long-term care facilities over $4 billion per year in recruitment and training expenses. The nationwide nursing shortage has also been affecting nursing schools, which are struggling against a lack of space, adequate numbers in faculty, and enough financial resources to produce enough nurses to address the growing shortage. Other experts think the growing nursing shortage is degrading standards of long-term care and blame the lack of quality care on understaffing. Recruiting new direct-care workers remains a challenge for nursing home facilities due to working conditions and competition from hospitals that are offering annual nursing salaries in excess of $60,000, signing bonuses, educational loan forgiveness programs and other benefits.

While CareView cannot directly affect the hiring and retention of nursing staff in hospitals and nursing homes, CareView’s management believes that the implementation of the CareView System™ in healthcare facilities will lead to a higher level of job satisfaction among nursing staffs which may lead to a decrease in the rate of RN and LPN turnover, thereby creating quality and continuity of care for patients.

Continued Increases in Professional Liability Insurance Premiums

As reported by the American Hospital Association, there has been a dramatic increase in hospital professional liability premiums in the last few years with 44% of hospitals reporting an increase of 50% or more. These huge increases are severely affecting access to services as hospitals are either cutting back on services or eliminating some programs altogether. For the average 200-bed hospital, professional liability costs are in excess of $1 million annually.

Although research does not support the idea that a rise in professional liability insurance premiums directly correlates to an increase in liability claims, CareView believes that when the CareView System™ is fully implemented and used by a healthcare facility, there will be a significant reduction in the number of liability lawsuits, primarily due to the continuous monitoring of patients and the care they receive. As the CareView System™ is deployed to an increasing number of healthcare facilities, evidence will indicate that healthcare facilities using the CareView System™ are able to better manage and/or decrease the number of liability lawsuits, and associated costs and damages, which may also be reflected in a decrease in the premiums paid for their liability coverage.

Improving Quality of Care and Patient Safety

Hospitals are investing in a variety of initiatives to improve the quality of care and patient safety, including implementing electronic medical records (“EMRs”) and decision support systems, bar coding technology, and creating systems to report and analyze medical errors. The Leapfrog Group, a coalition of large employers looking to improve quality through performance measurement and public reporting, estimates that more than one million medication errors occur in hospitals each year.

Table of Contents

The CareView System™ provides real-time bedside and point-of-care video monitoring and recording to improve efficiency while limiting liability. CareView’s management believes that the effective implementation of the CareView System™ in hospitals will lead to improved quality of care and patient safety, fewer “Never Events”1 and greater accountability.

Need for Additional Technology Investments

Most hospitals do not have the IT infrastructure and wireless connectivity to implement bar coded medication management, computer-based practitioner order entry or EMRs. The implementation of these systems may make a significant improvement in many of the challenges facing hospitals and nursing homes. Hospitals and nursing homes have been reluctant to invest in new digital technologies because the payoff is unclear and most institutions have constrained capital budgets.

As the CareView System™ requires minimal IT interfaces, little or no rewiring, and no capital expenditure by the healthcare facility, the implementation of this technological advancement will be viewed as a readily attainable and easy to use tool for providing quality care. In addition, the CareView System™ provides each facility with recurring revenue from value-added services to the patient and the infrastructure needed for future technology applications.

Increased Regulatory Burden

Hospitals are one of the most highly regulated sectors of the economy. This burden has increased in recent years due to the additional government mandates such as the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPPA”), The Affordable Care Act, additional billing requirements, and additional disclosure reporting and compliance programs.

The HIPPA-compliant CareView System™ provides hospitals with an effective system for managing patient care and adhering to required compliance demands and disclosure reporting.

Reimbursement Issues

Reimbursement for health care services has been the most significant risk factor for the healthcare industry since the advent of the Medicare program in 1968. Trends show that whenever the federal government reduces reimbursement rates, state-run programs and private insurance companies quickly follow suit. The low increase in reimbursement rates, and decreases in some years, have not allowed hospitals to keep up with the rising costs of nursing, professional liability insurance, emerging technologies and regulatory compliance.

In 2007, the CMS implemented regulations that hospitals will not be reimbursed for any services resulting from errors or mistakes caused by the hospital (“Never Events”). Since that announcement, many managed care companies have announced the same policy. The process of identifying mistakes, proving and documenting where the blame lies, and presenting the findings will be yet another challenge for the hospital industry. Of the twenty-eight (28) events currently categorized as Never Events, eight (8) have since been

 

1 The term “Never Event” was first introduced in 2001 by Ken Kizer, MD, former CEO of the National Quality Forum (NQF), in reference to particularly shocking medical errors (such as wrong-site surgery) that should never occur. Over time, the list has been expanded to signify adverse events that are unambiguous (clearly identifiable and measurable), serious (resulting in death or significant disability), and usually preventable. The NQF initially defined 27 such events in 2002 and revised and expanded the list in 2006. The list is grouped into six event categories: surgical, product or device, patient protection, care management, environmental, and criminal.

identified as events that will no longer be reimbursed. It is anticipated that the list of non-reimbursed events will eventually increase to include all 28 Never Events. Currently, the Company addresses three of the eight non-reimbursed Never Events through its CareView System™ and the Company will be addressing a fourth Never Event in early 2011.

Currently, there are over 5,000 acute care hospitals, nearly 1,000 sub-acute care hospitals, hundreds of specialty hospitals and over 16,000 nursing homes in the U.S. alone. In many cases, hospitals are adding more beds and expanding its outpatient service capabilities to meet anticipated need due to projected population growth. There is no evidence to suggest that the hospital and nursing home market will shrink any time in the foreseeable future. Within this growing segment of the economy, the challenges presented here will be faced by each healthcare facility.

The CareView System™ effectively provides accurate documentation of bedside care, thereby reducing mistakes and decreasing reimbursement issues due to medical errors.

Hospital Monitoring

Monitoring patients in healthcare facilities is not a new concept. Currently, hospitals, nursing homes, and adult living centers monitor blood pressure, pulse, cardiac activity and other vital signs and conditions. Monitoring is generally provided through graphic readouts and reports. There are very few hospitals or nursing homes that use video monitoring to observe patients in their rooms or in ancillary departments, thus requiring nurses to physically move from the nursing station into a patient’s room to make visual contact with the patient.

The CareView System™ implements a new, high-speed digital network throughout the healthcare facility by using the facility’s existing cable infrastructure combined with CareView’s Digital Control Server and Room Control Platform. The CareView System™ can also be deployed using Cat-5, fiber or 802.11 wireless technologies. The CareView System™ is deployed in phases beginning with the Primary Package that includes SecureView™, NurseView™, PhysicianView™ and Virtual Bed Rails™. The Primary Package can be completely installed without ever touching the hospital’s management information system and with minimum involvement of the IT department. (See Primary Package beginning at page 11 herein.)

Fall Prevention and Patient Monitoring

Fall reduction has become a major focus of all healthcare facilities, including those catering to permanent residents. Significant resources are invested in fall management programs to assess the risk of falls and factors associated with significant injuries. The intention of these efforts and studies is to improve patient care by providing adequate monitoring programs that correspond to the perceived patient risk and injury. However, it is simply impossible to know for sure which patient will fall, when and how they will fall, and the severity of the injury that may result from any fall.

Falls are a common cause of morbidity and are the leading cause of both nonfatal injuries and trauma-related hospitalizations in the U.S. Every year, falls in hospitals consistently make up the largest single category of adverse reported incidents, and nearly half of all residents in nursing homes fall each year, with many sustaining debilitating fractures. The Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) estimates that the average cost for the medical treatment of an injury from a single fall is almost $20,000, which includes fees for hospital, nursing home, emergency room and home health costs, but not physician services. As reported on its website, the CDC estimates that total direct cost of all fall injuries for people 65 and older exceeded $19 billion in the year 2000. As the population ages, the CDC expects this amount to increase to as much as $54.9 billion by 2020.

Statistics show that falls are the leading cause of injury deaths among people age 65 and older. The morbidity, mortality and financial burden attributed to patient falls in hospitals and other healthcare settings are

Table of Contents

among the most serious risk management issues facing the healthcare industry. Bed falls have received an extensive amount of scrutiny due to the patient’s high expectation of safety and the disproportional potential for severe injury to the patient over other types of falls. Bed falls can account for up to half of all falls in a healthcare facility. Healthcare facilities traditionally rely on in-room patient monitoring to supplement interventions and reduce the instances of patient falls. This costly method is causing healthcare facilities to investigate new alternatives to increase patient safety while decreasing monitoring staff.

CareView has addressed this problem with an advanced, unique new technology that will greatly enhance fall prevention efforts in healthcare settings. Virtual Bed Rails™ is a non-invasive tool that can monitor numerous patients at once, with no electrode or ancillary devices needed on or around the patient. This system allows the nursing staff to quickly and easily activate motion-sensitive borders around the bed by hand-drawing the rails directly onto the touch-screen monitor. Once activated, the system will provide a warning alert when a patient may be in danger of a fall. Virtual Bed Rails™ gives nursing staff an invaluable tool that will greatly expedite reaction time to potentially adverse situations. (See Virtual Bed Rails™ beginning at page 12 herein.)

Virtual Bed Rails™, the Company’s newest offering, is a fall prediction system that monitors a patient’s activity while in bed. This user-friendly fall prevention program alerts nurses to patient movement and the need for quick intervention, and provides a real-time video image of the patient. If the patient breaches the virtual bed rails, a fall alert is immediately transmitted to the healthcare professional at the nurse’s station. Virtual Bed Rails™ are actually ‘virtual’; no special sensors or additional equipment is required in the room and the bed rails are completely invisible to everyone except the person monitoring the patient. Any defined movement that crosses over the virtual bed rail triggers an on-screen alarm to alert the nursing staff of the breach.

FacilityView™ will act as the security surveillance system providing access to live video feeds throughout the facility wherever a CareView camera is located (except for patient rooms). All privacy and access options will be determined and configured by the hospital.

RFID Tracking will enable the CareView System™ to locate the hospital’s assets and/or patients throughout the facility.

The entire hospital will be able to access the Internet wirelessly through a Wi-Fi network in the CareView System™.

The CareView System™ Fall Management Program

The CareView System™ provides healthcare facilities with a management tool to review all patient falls, averted falls and response time to falls, and establishes a review tool to improve the hospital’s performance regarding risk of falls.

Once Virtual Bed Rails™ are engaged for a patient at high risk for a fall, the CareView System™ automatically identifies the particular patient/room within the system and creates an archive that specific patients have been so protected. Should a protected patient fall, the hospital can easily identify these flagged patients and quickly review the incident to determine why the fall occurred. Each facility can manage falls by reviewing the files of all or selected high risk patients that are being protected by Virtual Bed Rails™. (See Virtual Bed Rails™ beginning at page 12 herein.)

Private Hospital Network

The CareView System™ provides healthcare facilities the opportunity to have their own private cable network with no capital investment and the opportunity to develop another profit center.

When the CareView System™ is activated for the patient, they will be shown a greeting message from the hospital’s CEO and a short orientation of the facility through an existing commercial, slide show or movie. Additional items, such as room service menus, calendar of events, patient/guest guides and even ordering through the gift shop, can be linked through the CareView System™.

 

LOGO   LOGO

The CareView System™ also assists patients as they get ready to leave by providing them valuable information regarding follow-up care and provides feedback to the facility regarding their stay through a Satisfaction Survey. Patients can be provided discharge instructions (such as diets, E-scripts, and follow-up appointments), and receive a message from hospital management or their personal physician. The system can also send an e-mail to family and friends announcing the discharge.

System Costs

On average, the installation of each 200-unit hospital requires an incremental capital expenditure of approximately $200,000. This amount does not include the costs related to software design, development, marketing, maintenance and/or administrative costs. The Company does not incur these capital costs until the signing of a hospital agreement. The Company is also able to recover and reuse units if a facility terminates its service. (See Hospital Agreements beginning at page 17 herein.)

Revenue Streams

The CareView System™ is provided and installed in healthcare facilities at no charge to the facility after which the Company generates revenue from subscriptions to its product offerings. The Company offers its Primary Package (including SecureView™, NurseView™, PhysicianView™ and Virtual Bed Rails™) for a price of $69.95 per room/per month. On the Shared Revenue Package, PatientView™, MovieView™ and NetView™ are generally offered at a per day/per room charge. The hospital may elect to charge a package price for all services for any combination of days, including a package for the patient’s entire stay. BabyView™ pricing is negotiated with each facility. Pricing has yet to be established for the Connectivity Package and the Company expects that fees will be negotiated as an add-on to the Primary Package. Each facility may decide to bundle products for specialty pricing to the patients or may offer any or all services at no charge to the patient. Per product pricing is established with each healthcare facility upon finalization of a hospital agreement.

Products in Development

The Company has several product offerings in development including:

 

   

A third generation Room Control Platform (the “Generation 3 RCP”): The Generation 3 RCP will incorporate a much higher percentage of proprietary design. The present RCP uses several third party modules which develops a level of dependence on these third party modules and their suppliers. The Generation 3 RCP will incorporate a Compress design to eliminate the variances which can be introduced by third party suppliers. The Generation 3 RCP will have a 7-year parts life guarantee by all of the major component manufacturers to ensure consistency in manufacturing for at least that 7-year period. In addition, the Generation 3 RCP will be physically smaller in size which will reduce the cost of the unit. The Generation 3 RCP is tentatively scheduled for production in the first quarter of 2011.

 

   

Ulcer Management Module: The ulcer management software is presently in development with in-hospital beta testing trials tentatively scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2010. This module uses proprietary and patent pending techniques to detect if a patient has moved sufficiently as to relieve pressure areas susceptible to decubitus ulcers. The module works in concert with our Virtual Bed Rails™ system to alert healthcare employees of the need to turn a patient in a timely manner. The algorithms used detect the motion of a patient even while covered with bed linens. The system remains silent if the patient has moved enough to comply with the maximum times established by the industry to prevent bed sores. In the event the patient has not moved to a sufficient degree, the system will alarm the healthcare professional to turn the patient. Additionally, the module will document the procedure through both the data base and video recordings.

 

   

Patient Activity Board: The Patient Activity Board is a large screen flat panel monitor mounted in areas of the hospital where white boards are currently used. A great deal of manpower is needed to update these white boards on each floor. As currently installed CareView Systems™ are networked over the hospitals’ coaxial cable, the Patient Activity Board is easily deployable at significantly reduced costs to running new cabling to the monitors. The Patient Activity Board is ready for immediate deployment.

Device for Chinese Medical Industry to monitor vital signs: In cooperation with Weigao Holding on a Chinese joint venture, CareView has begun development on a module to monitor and record patients’ blood pressure, pulse, ECG and heart rate. This device will interface with the CareView System™ to deliver this information to a nursing station and will alert nurses in the event a patient’s vitals fall outside of a given set of parameters. This device is being developed specifically for the Chinese market due to high ratio of patients to nurses. We anticipate that this device will be ready for delivery by the end of the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

RFID: Presently CareView has been testing several RFID products from various manufacturers to be used in connection with the CareView System™. It is CareView’s intent to offer its customers a third party RFID solution tied to the CareView System™. As the infrastructure of the CareView System™ will already be in place at each hospital, this approach will allow CareView to provide the service at a greatly reduced price to the hospital versus the hospital contracting directly with other firms in the RFID business. This RFID product is scheduled for an in-hospital beta test in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Hospital Agreements

The Company offers its products and services for the CareView System™ through a subscription-based and/or shared revenue-pricing agreement with the medical facility (the “Hospital Agreement”). The Hospital Agreement requires payment of the monthly subscription fee to CareView. CareView collects the shared revenue directly and remits the portion due to the medical facility per the terms of each Hospital Agreement. During the term of the Hospital Agreement, the Company provides continuous monitoring of the CareView System™ and maintains and services all CareView System™ equipment.

CareView’s Hospital Agreements are for a five (5) year period with a provision for automatic renewal on its anniversary date for each successive year unless CareView receives written notice of termination from the medical facility within thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date. CareView owns all right, title, and interest in and to the CareView equipment installed at each location and agrees to maintain and repair all equipment, although CareView may charge for repairs or replacements due to damage or misuse. CareView is not responsible for maintaining data arising from use of the CareView System™ or for transmission errors, corruption or compromise of data carried over local or interchange telecommunication carriers. CareView maintains the right to insert two (2) channels onto the medical facilities’ network to support education and marketing of the CareView System™ and will have the right to transmit data to further the education and marketing features of the CareView System™. Subject to other terms of the Hospital Agreement, CareView grants each medical facility a limited, revocable, non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use the software, network facilities, content and documentation on and in the CareView System™ to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to access, explore and otherwise use the CareView System™ in real time. Such non-exclusive license expires upon termination of the Hospital Agreement.

The Company has installed, or is in the process of installing, eleven (11) hospitals, and is in the process of executing Hospital Agreements for an additional twenty-one (21) hospitals. The Company has entered into Hospital Agreements with Hillcrest Medical Center (Tulsa, OK), Southcrest Hospital (Tulsa, OK), Baylor Medical Center at Frisco (Frisco, TX), St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center (Paterson, NJ), St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital (Wayne, NJ), Saline Memorial Hospital (Benton, AR), Brooksville Medical Center (Brooksville, FL), Charlotte Regional Medical Center (Punta Gorda, FL), Carolina Pines Medical Center (Hartsville, SC), Central Mississippi Regional Medical Center (Jackson, MS), and Yakima Regional Medical Center (Yakima, WA). (See form of Products and Services Agreement (a/k/a Hospital Agreement), Exhibit 10.01, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

The Company’s Hospital Agreements cover eleven (11) hospitals with an aggregate of approximately 3,250 beds of which 1,500 beds have already been installed.

Joint Venture with Rockwell Holdings

On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship (the “Master Investment Agreement”) with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Rockwell”). The Company will use the funds provided under the joint venture to purchase the previously installed CareView Systems™ at two of its existing hospitals, as well as to fund the purchase and installation of additional CareView System™ equipment to complete the installations at the two facilities. Upon completion, it is anticipated that there will be over 900 installations of the CareView System™ in the combined facilities. The Company and Rockwell each own 50% of the joint venture in these two facilities. (See Master Investment Agreement, Exhibit 10.44, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Under the terms of the Master Investment Agreement, the Company will use the investment and financing from Rockwell to fully implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hillcrest”) and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas (“Saline”) (the “Project Hospital(s)”).

The Master Investment Agreement provides that the Company and Rockwell will establish a joint venture entity for each Project Hospital (the “Project LLC”) and that:

(i) The Company will assign its hospital contracts to the Project LLC,

 

19


Table of Contents

(ii) The Company will provide the Project LLC with a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license of intellectual property rights to enable the Project LLC to use the intellectual property needed to operate the CareView Systems™ in each Project Hospital,

(iii) The Company will sell all of the existing CareView Systems™ in the Project Hospitals to the Project LLC,

(iv) The Company will acquire, install, set-up and then sell and maintain, on behalf of the Project LLC, all equipment and other personal property necessary for the operation of the CareView Systems™ at each Project Hospital,

(v) The Project LLC will grant a security interest to Rockwell in all equipment, fixtures, and inventory, among other things, as collateral for payment of the Project Note, as described below.

The structure of the joint venture between Rockwell and the Company is in the form of a Project LLC for each of the Project Hospitals. Both Rockwell and the Company own 50% of each Project LLC and Rockwell will receive a Project Note for each Project LLC (as discussed below). Rockwell will have a preferred return of its equity in the Project LLC plus ten percent (10%) on the unreturned amount of that equity, and fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate monthly fees charged for the Primary Package will be dedicated to payment of Rockwell’s preferred return on its ownership.

Pursuant to the Master Investment Agreement, Rockwell provided $1,151,145 as the initial funding for the Hillcrest Project Hospital and the Saline Project Hospital, which funding was confirmed in a Funding Agreement entered into between the Company and Rockwell. The Funding Agreement anticipates future funding as provided for in the Master Investment Agreement upon completion of the Project Hospitals.

Each Project LLC is governed by an Operating Agreement under which the Company and Rockwell are its initial members, each owning 50% of the outstanding ownership units. Each Operating Agreement also allocates the distributions of cash, payment of company expenses and debt service, and distribution of remaining funds. Payments from a Project Hospital to a Project LLC are deposited into an escrow account jointly controlled by the Company and the Project LLC pursuant to a Project Escrow Agreement, and once deposits into the escrow account are collected by the escrow agent, they are immediately transferred into a separate account in the name of the Project LLC. (See form of Operating Agreement, Exhibit 10.50, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Each Project LLC has executed and delivered a Project Note to Rockwell in the amount of one-half of the funding already provided to it by Rockwell, and once the full funding is provided by Rockwell upon completion of the CareView System™ installations at the Project Hospitals, each Project LLC will replace the earlier Project Note by delivering to Rockwell an amended and restated Project Note representing the earlier Project Note’s outstanding balance together with one-half of the additional funding provided by Rockwell. A Project Note will earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%). Principal payments under each Project Note shall be payable in equal monthly installments of one-half of the aggregated monthly fees charged for the Primary Package under the Project Hospital contract. Payments shall commence on the earlier to occur of the date that monthly Primary Package fees first become payable under the Project Hospital contract or six months from the date of the original Project Note; provided, however, that the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest of a Project Note shall be paid in full on or before the third anniversary of the date that payments commenced thereunder. (See form of Project Note, Exhibit 10.48 and form of Amended and Restated Project Note, Exhibit 10.49, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

As additional consideration to Rockwell for providing the funding, the Company shall issue to Rockwell a warrant (“Project Warrant”) granting Rockwell the right to purchase, for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.52 per share, such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that is equal to the total amount of funding after completion of the Project Hospitals. (See form of Project Warrant, Exhibit 10.53, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Table of Contents

The Master Investment Agreement includes provisions under which the Company may elect to purchase, for cash, Rockwell’s entire interest in each Project LLC at a pre-determined price based on annualized net cash flow from the Project Hospital plus the payment of any unpaid preferred return (if any) and the estimated amount of any additional distributions that would be payable from the Project LLC to Rockwell during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital. In addition, upon the Company’s purchase of Rockwell’s interest in a Project LLC, the Company would have to pay the remaining balance due (if any) under the Project Note and any forgone interest under the Project Note that would have accrued during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital. Additionally, there are provisions under which Rockwell may, if the Project Note has been paid and Rockwell has received its preferred return, elect to require the Company to purchase its entire interest in each Project LLC based on a pre-determined percentage of the annualized net cash flow of the Project Hospital. If Rockwell makes that election, the Company may chose to fund the purchase with a five-year promissory note bearing interest at ten percent (10%) per annum. Rockwell was granted preferred investor status that provides, in the event that the Company funds similar projects through a different investor with more favorable terms, that Rockwell may elect to amend the terms of its existing project funding to be consistent with those more favorable terms. (See Rockwell JV Exhibits 10.44 through 10.53 inclusive, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Engagement of DLA Piper, LLP

On January 20, 2010, the Company engaged DLA Piper, LLP, a leading global business law firm (“DLA Piper”) to assist in developing and structuring a financial facility up to $50 million which would be secured by the stable revenue stream of CareView’s hospital contracts. DLA Piper has and will continue to introduce the Company to suitable institutional investors with whom they have existing relationships in the structured finance arena. Although no financing has yet been secured through the introductions of DLA Piper, the Company and DLA Piper are continuing negotiations to that end.

Lease Line of Credit with Fountain Fund 2 LP

On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of agreement with Fountain Fund 2 LP, managed by Fountain Partners of San Francisco (“Fountain”) for a lease line of credit for up to $5 million (the “Lease Line”). Under the Lease Line, CareView will lease installed CareView Systems™ from Fountain and will repay the draws on the Lease Line over a period of three (3) years. CareView and Fountain executed a Master Lease covering the installed CareView Systems™ which calls for pre-determined monthly rental over a three-year period (the “Base Term”). Prior to the expiration of the Base Term, CareView may elect to (i) purchase the equipment or (ii) extend or renew the lease for an additional twelve (12) months with a subsequent option to return the equipment to Fountain.

An origination fee of one percent (1%) of the lease schedule amount will be due upon signing of each lease schedule. The cost of equipment to Fountain shall not exceed $500,000 per month with each month carrying over to the next month if not used, unless this limit is waived by Fountain. The draw window is open to December 5, 2010 (“Draw Window”). CareView agrees to pay Fountain a deposit of two percent (2%) of the unused Lease Line amount. Upon execution of the Lease Line, CareView issued a ten-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase a total of 450,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.52 per share. On January 29, 2010 and April 22, 2010, the Company paid Fountain a deposit of $20,000 and $80,000 respectively for the unused Lease Line. In association with the Lease Line, the Company paid Mann Equity, LLC a cash fee of $100,000 and issued a five-year Warrant to purchase 400,000 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.52. (See Master Lease, Exhibit 10.55, Cooperative Agreement with Mann Equity, LLC, Exhibit 10.38, and Addendum to Cooperative Agreement with Mann Equity, LLC, Exhibit 10.58, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Joint Venture in China with Weigao Holding Company Limited

On April 13, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with AFH Holdings and Advisory, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, Discovery Medical Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company and Mann Equity, LLC, a California limited liability company (deemed together to be the “LLC Parties”). The purpose of the LOI was to introduce and negotiate a transaction with a target company doing business in The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, which target company was later identified as Weigao Holding Company Limited (“Weigao Holding”). The ultimate transaction would include a joint venture between Weigao Holding and CareView (the “China JV”) wherein CareView would agree to grant Weigao Holding an exclusive license to certain intellectual property, manufacturing rights, and guaranteed services to be provided by the Company relating to the CareView System™. Under the terms of the LOI, CareView agreed to transfer to the LLC Parties a portion of its ownership in the China JV. (See Letter of Intent [with LLC Parties], Exhibit 10.57, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

On July 29, 2010, an Amendment Agreement was entered into between the Company and the LLC Parties amending and setting forth the applicable percentage of ownership interest and gross revenue sharing for each of CareView and the LLC Parties in CareView’s interest in the China JV wherein CareView will own 70% of its interest and each of the LLC Parties will own 10% of CareView’s interest in the China JV. (See Amendment Agreement [with LLC Parties], Exhibit 10.60, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

In connection with the services provided by the LLC Parties as outlined above, on May 26, 2010, the Company signed a letter of intent with Weigao Holding (the “Weigao LOI”) to enter into the proposed joint venture. Weigao Holding is the leading medical device manufacturer in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Upon the successful execution of definitive documents, Weigao Holding will hold an exclusive license to manufacture and distribute the CareView System™ in the PRC. Both CareView and Weigao Holding have identified the major need to improve the level of care in acute care medical facilities in the PRC. Of particular importance is the anticipated use of the EquipmentView™ module of the CareView System™ that would allow Weigao Holding to significantly advance the level of care in the more than 8,800 medical facilities it services. The Weigao LOI provided for termination if definitive documents were not executed prior to August 1, 2010. The Company and Weigao Holding subsequently agreed to extend that date until November 1, 2010. (See Letter of Intent with Weigao Holding, Exhibit 10.59, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement with T2 Consulting, LLC and Tommy G. Thompson

On February 28, 2005, the predecessor of CareView-TX, CareView Communications, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“CareView LLC”), entered into a Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with an entity to be known as T2 Consulting, LLC (“T2”), and the principals of T2, namely Tommy G. Thompson (“Thompson”), Gerald L. Murphy (“Murphy”) , and Dennis Langley (“Langley”). Under the Subscription Agreement, T2 purchased a 17% ownership interest in CareView LLC for $1,000 and also received an Adjusted Gross Income Interest entitling T2 to receive 5% of the adjusted gross income of CareView LLC (the “5% AGII”). The 5% AGII was considered senior to any other priority or preference of any kind and at no time could be diluted. The 5% AGII included 5% of (i) all revenue of any type or nature from whatever source received by CareView LLC and its subsidiaries; less (ii) pre-tax, non-debt service, payments to non-affiliates or employees of the company, cost of goods sold (and not general and administrative expenses).

Under the Subscription Agreement, Thompson agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of CareView LLC for an initial service period of February 28, 2005 through May 31, 2008 which service period would continue in an evergreen fashion for successive three year terms. In addition to serving as Chairman, other responsibilities were to be provided by Thompson; however, he was not required to spend more than 25% of his business related time in his capacity as Chairman or by providing other services to CareView LLC. As consideration for those services to be rendered under Article IV of the Subscription Agreement (the “Article IV Payments”), Thompson was to be paid an Annual Base Payment of not less than $300,000 of which $100,000 was to be paid directly to T2 and $200,000 was to be paid to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm

with which Thompson is associated. In addition to the Annual Base Payment, terms provided for Thompson to receive other perquisites and benefits comparable to CareView LLC senior executives, reimbursement of travel and related expenses, and reimbursement of legal fees and expenses in association with the preparation and closing of the Subscription Agreement. Although Thompson began his service as Chairman, he was not required to provide any of the other services under the Subscription Agreement; however, neither he nor T2 would receive the Annual Base Payments or 5% AGII until the occurrence of two conditions subsequent to the Subscription Agreement; namely (i) the Company receiving financing and capitalization sufficient to adequately capitalize the Company, and (ii) the Company signing contracts with two federal hospitals and one private sector hospital. Once the two subsequent conditions had been fulfilled, the amount of the Annual Base Payment would be retroactively applied from March 1, 2005 until the date of the fulfillment of the subsequent condition even though Thompson and T2 might not have provided services under the Subscription Agreement during that time. If Thompson’s services as Chairman were terminated by CareView LLC, T2 would be paid a lump sum on the end date of the service period equal to two year’s worth of the Annual Base Payment in effect at the time of termination. (See Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement, Exhibit 10.00, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

CareView LLC converted to a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and the Subscription Agreement was assigned and assumed by CareView-TX under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent (“Assumption Agreement”) dated October 29, 2007 between T2, Thompson, and CareView-TX. In addition, the Assumption Agreement provided that the Article IV Payments were assigned to and assumed by Thompson personally. Subsequently, Thompson waived the accrual and any past or future obligations of CareView-TX to pay the Article IV Payments. (See Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent, Exhibit 10.08 and Letter of Waiver from Tommy G. Thompson, Exhibit 10.63, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

On August 20, 2010, in an effort to resolve all past, current and future claims due pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into a Revocation and Substitution Agreement with T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley (the “Agreement”). In exchange for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement by T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley, the Company agreed to issue to each of Thompson, Murphy, and Langley a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company’s Board of Directors believes the Agreement is in the best interest of all of the shareholder of the Company and has determined that it is not necessary to obtain a ‘fairness’ opinion from an independent third-party. (See Revocation and Substitution Agreement, Exhibit 10.64 (which Exhibit incorporates the a form of Warrant), filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

As additional consideration for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement with CareView-TX, Thompson, Murphy, and Langley will receive an aggregated 1  1/2% Gross Income Interest on all revenues (without deductions of any kind) of the Company and its subsidiaries, which income interest is retroactive to the date of the Subscription Agreement. In connection with the income interest, the Company executed an Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest with each of Thompson, Murphy and Langley dated August 20, 2010. An accrual of approximately $5,808 through June 30, 2010 is due pursuant to the 1  1/2% Gross Income Interest, which sum, when added to any sums due for the months of July and August 2010, will be recorded and reflected on the financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest does not have a termination date; however it does provide that the Company has the right to acquire the Gross Income Interest of Thompson, Murphy and Langley from September 1, 2013 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price and that Thompson, Murphy and Langley each have the right to require that their respective Gross Income Interest be purchased by the Company any time from September 1, 2011 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price. Purchase Price means, absent an agreement between Thompson, Murphy or Langley and the Company to the contrary, at CareView’s election, either: i) a monetary amount equal to the aggregated Gross Income Interest received by either of Thompson, Murphy or Langley in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the sale, transfer or exchange, or ii) the payment of the monetary amount as determined in i) above in shares of CareView’s Common Stock at Fair Market Value. As an

additional term in the Gross Income Interest agreement with Langley, the Company agreed that an affiliate of Langley shall be granted a distribution and sales agreement for the Company’s products for government entities in the U.S. including, but not limited to, HHS, VA, DOD and state and local governments. Terms of the distribution agreement will be negotiated at a future date. (See Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interests with Tommy G. Thompson, Exhibit 10.65, Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interests with Gerald L. Murphy, Exhibit 10.66, and Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interests with Dennis M. Langley, Exhibit 10.66, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Coincident with the execution of the above-mentioned agreements, T2 was dissolved and the 14,475,666 restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company were distributed equally among Thompson, Murphy and Langley.

Distribution and Regional Support

On January 9, 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive, three-year Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Foundation Medical, LLC (“Foundation Medical”) to distribute the CareView System™ on the east coast of the United States. Foundation Medical will also serve as CareView’s east coast representative for servicing of all CareView Systems™ installed in that region. The territory covered under the Agreement includes the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The Agreement is automatically renewable for additional periods of one (1) year unless written notice not to renew is delivered between the parties thirty (30) days prior to the automatic renewal. Commissions paid to Foundation Medical range from two to six percent (2% to 6%) on three-year hospital contracts and from three to ten percent (3% to 10%) on five-year hospital contracts. (See Distribution Agreement, Exhibit 10.56, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Installation and Technical Support

The Company provides installation and technical support for its customers through third-party providers across the United States on a per-job basis.

Competition

Medical communications technology companies who provide concise and timely medical information to healthcare facilities and their staffs are embarking on a relatively new frontier. Therefore, our competition may initially be light. We believe our CareView System™ is the only comprehensive product of its type currently available to the healthcare industry; however, other companies may offer products that potential customers may consider an acceptable alternative to our products and services. Some of these competitors may be larger and have greater financial resources than CareView. We compete with them based on price, engineering and technological expertise, knowledge and the quality of our products, systems and services. Additionally, the Company’s management believes that the successful performance of the Company’s installed products and systems is a key factor in retaining current business and gaining new business, as customers typically prefer to make significant purchases from a company with a solid performance history.

Various companies offer applications that may be similar to some of our product offerings, including, but not limited, to LodgeNetRX (owned by MDM Commercial Healthcare), SkyLight (owned by Skylight Healthcare Systems), eICU (owned by Royal Philips Electronics) and Stryker Video Network Hub.

LodgeNetRX, Skylight, and The GetWellNetwork provide interactive television. Skylight provides interactive patient systems. TeleHealth provides access to movies and Internet connectivity.

The clinical systems offered by our competitors do not appear to offer a video monitoring and observation option as provided by our system.

The Company is presently unable to predict what competitive impact, if any, regulatory development and advances in technology will have on our future business and results of operations. We believe our success depends upon our ability to maintain and enhance the performance, content and reliability of our products in response to the evolving demands of the industry and any competitive products that may emerge. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so successfully or that any enhancements or new products that we introduce will gain acceptance in the marketplace. If we are not successful or if our products are not accepted, we could lose potential customers to our competitors.

Research and Development Activities

The Company’s costs of research and development activities for years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled $540,000 and $445,208 respectively. None of the cost of such activities was borne directly by the Company’s customers.

Governmental Approval

Neither the Company nor its products are subject to government approval. The Company is unaware of any probable government regulations that may affect its business in the future.

Environmental Laws

The Company and its products are not affected by any federal, state, or local environmental laws; therefore, the Company has reserved no funds for compliance purposes.

Employees

As of the filing date of this Registration Statement, the Company employs twenty (20) persons on a full-time basis, three (3) of whom are executive officers.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

CareView Communications, Inc., formerly known as Ecogate, Inc., was formed in California in July 1997 as Purpose, Inc., changing its name to Ecogate, Inc. in April 1999. In October 2007, the Company changed its name to CareView Communications, Inc., and in November 2007, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Nevada. The Company’s primary focus is its operating businesses that focus on the business plan of its wholly owned subsidiary, CareView-TX.

CareView engages in the acquisition, development and operation of a high speed data network system that can be deployed throughout a healthcare facility using its existing cable television infrastructure in conjunction with the Company’s control server to provide bedside, point-of-care video monitoring and recording and a patient entertainment and education system. The Company is dedicated to working with all types of hospitals, nursing homes, adult living centers and selected outpatient care facilities with plans to implement this system in facilities throughout the United States and the world. The Company has installed, or is in the process of installing, eleven (11) hospitals, and is in the process of executing contracts for twenty-one (21) additional hospitals.

Table of Contents

CareView’s mission is to be the leading provider of products and on-demand application services for bedside video monitoring, recording and documentation patient care system for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities. We have positioned ourselves to meet the needs of the medical community while establishing relationships and building trust and loyalty for the future. Our goal is to communicate information to the medical industry without bias or limitation. Initially, our goal will be achieved by offering technology and services to clients that want to provide comprehensive technological systems to better serve their patients, hospitals, and staff.

CareView’s selling methodology focuses on significant and tangible cost savings, improved documentation, quality and timeliness of patient care, enhanced safety and security, support for new technologies, business growth, enhanced patient satisfaction, and return on investment. As previously stated, our initial focus will be to pursue large for-profit hospital management companies that own multiple facilities and large not-for-profit integrated delivery networks in major metropolitan areas.

During the next twelve months, CareView plans to commercialize its products and services through a controlled marketing roll out. CareView’s officers and directors have targeted a list of hospital ownership/administration companies that are well known to them and that have indicated interest in CareView’s product offerings. CareView will respond to personnel requirements in relationship to the speed with which the marketing roll out achieves success. Management is confident that the skilled personnel necessary for an aggressive roll out can be identified and secured. The Company’s Room Control Platform is being manufactured by unaffiliated third party providers domestically and internationally. Although CareView’s management is confident that its products can be manufactured to its specifications at a reasonable cost, and in substantially any quantity required, there is no assurance of that outcome. CareView plans to finance its growth through traditional bank financing sources and/or through potential debt and equity private placements. While management is confident that the required financing to fund the marketing roll out can be secured at terms satisfactory to the Company, there is no guarantee that future funding will be available, or that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. CareView also intends to complete its joint venture with Weigao Holding which will expand the Company’s reach to manufacture, distribute and install the CareView System™ in China’s hospitals.

We anticipate incurring costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports. We believe that we will be able to meet the costs of growth and public reporting with funds in our treasury and additional amounts to be loaned by or invested by our stockholders, management, traditional bank financing sources, and potential debt and equity private placements. Although management believes that the required financing to fund the marketing roll out and the costs related to public reporting can be secured at terms satisfactory to the Company, there is no guarantee that funds will be made available, and if funds are available, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We began the operation of our current business plan in 2002 and have not yet attained a level of revenue to allow us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations until approximately the second quarter of 2011 nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. We will be dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to adequately fund working capital, infrastructure, manufacturing expenses and significant marketing/investor related expenditures to gain market recognition, so that we can achieve a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure, none of which can be assured. While we have funded our initial operations with private placements of equity and bridge loans, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to us and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management. Historical financial information presented for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is that of the Company on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries.

Results of Operations – Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had revenues of $109,045 compared to revenues of $22,594 for the same period in 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, operating costs totaled $3,725,030 compared to $1,398,242 for the same period in 2009. This increase of $2,326,788 is primarily a result of approximately $1,766,000 in non-cash compensation costs related to options and warrants issued by the Company in 2010, approximately $404,000 in added selling and administrative costs, approximately $159,000 of increased network operation costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s business into new hospitals, and approximately $25,000 in depreciation expense, with a reduction in research and development costs of approximately $27,000. For the six months ending June 30, 2010, the Company had an operating loss of $3,615,985 compared to an operating loss of $1,375,648 for the same period in 2009. This is an increase of $2,240,337. The increase in operating loss exclusive of non-cash compensation costs totaled approximately $474,000.

Results of Operations – Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

For the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company had revenues of $87,086 compared to revenues of $41,606 for the same period in 2008. During the year ending December 31, 2009, operating costs totaled $4,161,887 compared to $2,590,574 for the same period in 2008. This increase of $1,571,313 is primarily a result of approximately $971,000 in non-cash compensation costs related to options and warrants issued by the Company in 2009, approximately $430,000 in added selling and administrative costs, approximately $127,000 of increased network operation costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s business into new hospitals, and approximately $95,000 in added costs associated with the Company’s further development efforts related to the CareView System™, with a reduction in depreciation expense of approximately $52,000. For the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company had an operating loss totaling $4,074,801 compared to an operating loss of $2,548,968 for the same period in 2008. This is an increase of $1,525,833. The increase in operating loss exclusive of non-cash compensation costs totaled approximately $555,000.

Effects of Inflation

During the periods for which financial information is presented, the Company’s business and operations have not been materially affected by inflation.

Table of Contents

Outlook

We anticipate the demand for our products and services to be strong as there is currently no other company with the same range of services we offer. We are well positioned to take advantage of that fact and are confident that the CareView System™ will be in demand because hospitals and nursing homes continue to be understaffed in nursing personnel and are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and provide better patient care.

We believe that the current trend of significantly increased public awareness surrounding the quality of healthcare in hospitals and nursing homes will continue to increase. We also believe there is an increase in public concern regarding the privacy of individuals in healthcare facilities as well as the recordation of events during treatment. Our CareView System™ will provide a safer environment for patients and provide families access to monitor activities and be involved in important healthcare decisions when they are not able to be at the facility in person.

This Outlook section and other portions of this document include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, among others, those statements preceded by, following or including the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the current expectations of management and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3. Properties.

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into a 63-month Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) for 10,578 square feet of office and warehouse space at 405 State Highway 121, Suite B-240, Lewisville, TX 75067. On June 29, 2010, the Company and the landlord entered into a First Amendment to Commercial Lease Agreement (“First Amendment”). The terms of the First Amendment provide (i) for the Company to lease an additional 6,032 square feet of space for an approximate total of 16,610 square feet of leased space, (ii) an extension of the Lease to a term of 68 months with a termination date of June 30, 2015, and (iii) an increase in the security deposit of approximately $8,500. Under the First Amendment, the landlord agreed to provide a tenant improvement allowance not to exceed $175,000 to be used toward the payment of construction costs. The Lease contains renewal provisions under which the Company may renew the Lease for an additional three year period under the same terms and conditions. Over the term of the Lease and First Amendment, the Company will pay an average monthly cost of $18,196 which includes base rent, common area fees, taxes and insurance. The Company’s management believes that the leased premises are suitable and adequate to meet its needs. (See Commercial Lease Agreement, Exhibit 10.43 and First Amendment to Commercial Lease Agreement, Exhibit 10.62, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

The Option is exercisable at any time after the vesting period for a period of ten (10) years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Several months after the adoption of the Advisory Board charter, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to postpone appointment of its other members. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors began identifying qualified candidates to serve as members of the Advisory Board with Mr. Benson continuing to serve as its Chairman. (See Advisory Board Charter, Exhibit 10.14, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Audit Committee

Any member may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and vacancies may be filled by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

Two members of the Company’s Board of Directors serve on the Compensation Committee, namely Tommy G. Thompson and Allen Wheeler. Mr. Thompson chairs the Compensation Committee. Although the Company’s Board of Directors believes the members will exercise their judgment independently, neither member is totally free of relationships that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, might interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a committee member. The Compensation Committee’s Chair and members are to be designated annually by a majority vote of the Board. Any member may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and vacancies may be filled by a majority vote of the Board.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors and executive officers of the Company. This code is intended to focus the members of the Board of Directors and each executive officer on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to directors and executive officers to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical conduct, and help foster a culture of honesty and accountability. All members of the Board of Directors and all executive officers are required to sign this code on an annual basis. (See 2010 Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Exhibit 14.00, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Code of Ethics for Financial Executives

On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all financial executives and any other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities. This code governs the professional and ethical conduct of the Company’s financial executives, and directs that they: (i) act with honesty and integrity; (ii) provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, and timely; (iii) comply with federal, state, and local rules and regulations; (iv) act in good faith with due care, competence and diligence; and (v) respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work and not use the information acquired for personal gain. All of the Company’s financial executives are required to sign this code on an annual basis. (See 2010 Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, Exhibit 14.01, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Insider Trading Policy

On December 13, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an Insider Trading Policy applicable to all directors and officers. Insider trading generally refers to the buying or selling of a security in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence while in possession of material, non-public information about the security. Insider trading violations may also include ‘tipping’ such information, securities trading by the person ‘tipped,’ and securities trading by those who misappropriate such information.

The scope of insider trading violations can be wide reaching. As such, our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that outlines the definitions of insider trading, the penalties and sanctions determined, and what constitutes material, non-public information. Illegal insider trading is against the policy of the Company as such trading can cause significant harm to the reputation for integrity and ethical conduct of the Company. Individuals who fail to comply with the requirements of the policy are subject to disciplinary action, at the sole discretion of the Company, including dismissal for cause. All members of the Company’s Board of Directors and all executive officers are required to ratify the terms of this policy on an annual basis. (See Insider Trading Policy, Exhibit 10.13, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Agreement with Tommy G. Thompson, Chairman

Under the Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement dated February 28, 2005 between CareView LLC, T2, Mr. Thompson, and other members of T2, Mr. Thompson agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of CareView LLC for an initial service period of February 28, 2005 through May 31, 2008 which service period would continue in an evergreen fashion for successive three year terms. In addition to serving as Chairman, other responsibilities were to be provided by Thompson; however, he was not required to spend more than 25% of his business related time in his capacity as Chairman or by providing other services to CareView LLC. As consideration for those services to be rendered under Article IV of the Subscription Agreement (the “Article IV Payments”), Thompson was to be paid an Annual Base Payment of not less than $300,000 of which $100,000 was to be paid directly to T2 and $200,000 was to be paid to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm with which Thompson is associated. In addition to the Annual Base Payment, terms provided for Thompson to receive other perquisites and benefits comparable to CareView LLC senior executives, reimbursement of travel and related expenses, and reimbursement of legal fees and expenses in association with the preparation and closing of the Subscription Agreement. Although Thompson began his service as Chairman, he was not required to provide any of the other services under the Subscription Agreement; however, neither he nor T2 would receive the Annual Base Payments or 5% AGII until the occurrence of two conditions subsequent to the Subscription Agreement; namely (i) the Company receiving financing and capitalization sufficient to adequately capitalize the Company, and (ii) the Company signing contracts with two federal hospitals and one private sector hospital. Once the two subsequent conditions had been fulfilled, the amount of the Annual Base

Table of Contents

Payment would be retroactively applied from March 1, 2005 until the date of the fulfillment of the subsequent condition even though Thompson and T2 might not have provided services under the Subscription Agreement during that time. If Thompson’s services as Chairman were terminated by CareView LLC, T2 would be paid a lump sum on the end date of the service period equal to two year’s worth of the Annual Base Payment in effect at the time of termination.

CareView LLC converted to a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and the Subscription Agreement was assigned and assumed by CareView-TX under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent (“Assumption Agreement”) dated October 29, 2007 between T2, Thompson, and CareView-TX. In addition, the Assumption Agreement provided that the Article IV Payments were assigned to and assumed by Thompson personally. Subsequently, Thompson waived the accrual and any past or future obligations of CareView-TX to pay the Article IV Payments.

On August 20, 2010, the Company entered into a Revocation and Substitution Agreement with T2, Thompson and other members of T2 (the “Agreement”). In exchange for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement by Thompson, the Company agreed to issue to Thompson a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a one-third portion of an aggregated 1  1/2% Gross Income Interest on all revenues (without deductions of any kind) of the Company and its subsidiaries, which income interest is retroactive to the date of the Subscription Agreement. (See further information at Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement with T2 Consulting, LLC and Tommy G. Thompson beginning at page 22 herein and Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement, Exhibit 10.00, Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent, Exhibit 10.08, Letter of Wavier from Tommy G.

LockUp Agreements

In February 2009, the Company’s board of directors ratified and approved LockUp Agreements between the Company and 14 individuals or entities covering an aggregate of 87,115,455 shares of its Common Stock.

The LockUp Agreements terminated in December 2009 after which the shareholders agreed not to dispose of or sell more than 2.5% of their holdings per quarter for the next twelve-month period. Two of the shareholders were permitted to sell up to 25% of their holdings per quarter for the twelve-month period after termination. The LockUp Agreements terminate upon any change of control of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

The investors received written disclosures that the securities had not been registered under the Securities Act and that any resale must be either registered under the Securities Act or in reliance upon an available exemption from registration. No general solicitation was undertaken by the issuer in connection with the offer or sale of these securities. All of the individuals and/or entities listed above that purchased the unregistered securities for cash were all known to the Company and its management through pre-existing business relationships, as long standing business associates, friends, and employees, or were personally known to investment bankers retained by the Company. All purchasers were provided access to all material information that they requested and all information necessary to verify such information, and were afforded access to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities for cash acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the securities or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.

In connection with the above-mentioned issuances of unregistered securities in exchange for services rendered or relative to conversion of debt, CareView made such issuances in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

All of the individuals and/or entities listed above that purchased the unregistered securities for cash were all known to the Company and its management, through pre-existing business relationships, as long standing business associates, friends, and employees, or were personally known to investment bankers retained by the Company. All purchasers were provided access to all material information that they requested and all information necessary to verify such information, and were afforded access to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities in exchange for services rendered or upon conversion of debt acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the securities or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.

None of the stock options, warrants, or convertible securities, nor the underlying shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise, have been registered under the Securities Act; and all documents have been issued with a restrictive legend prohibiting further transfer of the shares without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.

Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

We are registering our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) under this Registration Statement. A description of our Common Stock follows. We have also included a description of our preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) as we believe that if designated, issuances of our Preferred Stock may likely be convertible into shares of our Common Stock.

Description of Securities

We are authorized to issue an aggregate of 320,000,000 shares of capital stock, 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of this filing, the Company had 126,745,215 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and zero shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

All outstanding shares of our Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which shares, upon issuance, are fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company. Our Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Persons who hold a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on the election of directors can elect all of the directors who are eligible for election. This means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so; and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.

Dividends. Subject to the preferential dividend rights and consent rights of any series of Preferred Stock that we may from time to time designate, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available.

Liquidation and Dissolution. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, subject to the preferential liquidation rights of any series of Preferred Stock that we may from time to time designate, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and preferential liquidation rights.

Authority to Issue Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to issue the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock without action by the shareholders. The issuance of such shares would reduce the percentage ownership held by current shareholders.

Preferred Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

We are currently authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. The shareholders of our Preferred Stock shall have preference to shareholders of our Common Stock as to assets upon liquidation. Dividends on Preferred Stock may be set from time to time by the Board of Directors.

The descriptions of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock above are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. (See Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto, and Bylaws, Exhibits 3.0 through 3.12 inclusive, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Company and Affiliated Purchasers

There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or any of our affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2009, nor have there been any such purchases through the date of this filing.

Transfer Agent

The Company uses Holladay Stock Transfer Company, Inc. located at 2939 N. 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251 as its transfer agent.

 

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Nevada Corporation Law provides in relevant parts as follows:

(1) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(2) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

(3) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in (1) or (2) of this subsection, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

62


Table of Contents

(4) The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the Nevada Corporation Law.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Registrant may indemnify to the full extent of its power to do so, all directors, officers, employees, and/or agents. It is anticipated that CareView will indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the above-quoted statute.

Insofar as indemnification by CareView for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers and directors of CareView pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, CareView is aware that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

On June 21, 2010, the Company entered into an Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”) with each of its officers and directors (each known as the “Indemnitee”). In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a proceeding by reason of (or arising in part out of) an indemnifiable event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted. The parties intend that this Agreement shall provide for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by statute, including, without limitation, any indemnification provided by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, its Bylaws, vote of its stockholders or disinterested directors, or applicable law. The only limitation that shall exist upon the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Agreement shall be that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to Indemnitee that is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, to be unlawful. (See form of Indemnification Agreement, Exhibit 10.61, filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.)

CAREVIEW COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

NOTE A – THE COMPANY

CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“CareView-NV” or the “Company”), was formed in July 1997. The Company began its current operation in 2003 as a healthcare information technology company with a patented patient monitoring and entertainment system. The CareView System™ creates a high-speed data network throughout a healthcare facility utilizing the existing cable television infrastructure, Cat-5, or fiber and CareView’s control server. In addition, CareView’s room communication platform provides bedside, point-of-care monitoring, movies and patient education and wireless connectivity to the healthcare facility’s IT network, allowing remote monitoring of medical equipment in the patient’s room and deployment of other emerging point-of-care technologies, including the Company’s newest offering “Virtual Bed Rails” (patent pending). “Virtual Bed Rails” is a fall prediction system that monitors a patient’s activity while in bed and if the patient breaches the “virtual bed rails,” a fall alert is immediately transmitted to the healthcare professional at the nurse’s station.

On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Rockwell”), wherein the following two limited liability companies (the “LLC’s”) were formed, CareView-Hillcrest LLC and CareView-Saline LLC. Under the terms of a Master Investment Agreement, the Company and Rockwell each own 50% of the LLC’s with Rockwell providing the financing and the Company providing the technology and expertise to fully implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas.

Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “CareView,” or “our Company” refers to CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and unless otherwise specified, includes its wholly owned subsidiaries, CareView Communications, Inc., (“CareView-TX”) and CareView Operations, LLC (“CareView Operations” or together with CareView-TX, the “Company’s subsidiaries”) and its LLCs, CareView-Hillcrest LLC and CareView-Saline LLC, in which it has a controlling interest.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim reporting

While the information presented in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as used in the December 31, 2009 audited financial statements of the Company. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim financial statements and the notes thereto do not contain all of the disclosures normally found in year-end audited financial statements, and these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are abbreviated and contain only certain disclosures related to the six month period ended June 30, 2010. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end audited December 31, 2009 financial statements. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Reclassifications

Certain items in the financial statements for 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on net loss.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the LLCs in which it has a controlling interest. All intra-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers amounts held by financial institutions and short-term investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company periodically deposits cash with financial institutions in excess of the maximum federal insurance limits (FDIC) of $250,000 per bank.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Normal trade accounts receivable are due 30 days from invoice date and considered past due after that. At June 30, 2010, there were no past due trade accounts receivable and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided. Trade accounts receivable past due more than 90 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations, results of collection efforts, and specific circumstances of the customer. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded as reductions of bad debt expense when received.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance costs, which do not significantly extend the useful lives of the respective assets, and repair costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. The Company includes Network Equipment in fixed assets upon receipt, but only begins depreciating the Network Equipment when such equipment is installed and accepted by the installation site. The Company attributes no salvage value to the Network Equipment and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of seven years. Also using the straight-line method, depreciation of office and test equipment, warehouse equipment and furniture is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years for office and test equipment, and five years for warehouse equipment and furniture.

Allowance for System Removal

The Company would remove the CareView System™ due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, collection and revenue performance issues. The Company regularly evaluates the installed CareView Systems™. Costs attributed to the de-installation of equipment are charged to operating expense. As of June 30, 2010, no de-installations had occurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.

Software Development and Patents

The Company has capitalized certain costs of developing software for its CareView System™ in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Capitalized costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value, and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the CareView System™, not to exceed five years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized no software development costs. Amortization to date of all previously capitalized software development costs totaled $1,376,470. To date, the Company has capitalized $47,833 in patent related costs, none of which has been amortized.

The table below lists amortization expense for currently amortizable capitalized software development costs for future periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences for financial and income tax reporting related to net operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

CAREVIEW COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, when the selling price is fixed or determinable, when installation and official acceptance by the facility occurs, and when collection is probable.

The Company offers CareView’s products and services through a subscription-based contract with each facility for a minimum term of five years. The contract requires the facility to pay the Company the subscription fee monthly. The Company begins to bill monthly subscription fees to the facility upon official acceptance of the CareView System™ by the facility. Additionally, the Company collects gross shared revenue from the patient for daily usage, and per the terms of the contract, remits a portion of those collections to the facility. During the term of the contract, the Company provides continuous monitoring of the CareView System™ and is required to maintain and service all CareView System™ equipment. If the customer requires additional products or services, the contract is amended with new pricing or revenue sharing terms and conditions.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Such potential dilutive shares of Common Stock consist of stock options and warrants. Potential shares of Common Stock that have an anti-dilutive effect totaling 30,113,829 are excluded from the diluted earnings per share.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows the requirements of ASC 718-10, Share Based Payments with regard to stock-based compensation issued to employees. The Company has various employment agreements and consulting arrangements that call for stock to be awarded to the employees and consultants at various times as compensation and periodic bonuses. The expense for this stock-based compensation is equal to the fair value of the stock that was determined by using the closing trading price on the day the stock was awarded multiplied by the number of shares awarded.

Debt Discounts

Costs incurred with parties who are providing long-term financing, which include the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt. Amortization expense is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Amortization of debt discounts for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $5,007 and $901,590 respectively. The Company has no unamortized debt discount at June 30, 2010.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company expenses all shipping and handling costs as incurred. These costs are included in operating expense.

Concentration of Credit Risks and Customer Data

The Company currently derives all of its revenue from hospitals. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, two customers accounted for approximately 88% of the total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, one customer accounted for all of the total revenue.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2010, the FASB issue ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method (“ASU 2010-17”). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. The following criteria must be met for a milestone to be considered substantive. The consideration earned by achieving the milestone should (1) be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the item delivered as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone, (2) related solely to past performance, and (3) be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

Accordingly, an arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones. ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2010-17 on our financial statements.

Management does not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $3,616,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, had an accumulated deficit, and had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $2,468,000. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, as part of its then outstanding private placement memorandum, the Company generated net proceeds of approximately $5,400,000. Management plans to raise additional proceeds from equity transactions and to continue to increase its sales and marketing activities for the CareView System™.

NOTE C – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

At June 30, 2010, the Company had 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 authorized and none outstanding, which can be designated by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Common Stock

At June 30, 2010, the Company had 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value authorized, with 126,745,215 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, as part of the Company’s previously approved private placement memorandum under which it offered 15,000,000 shares for sale for a maximum offering price of $7,800,000, the Company sold an aggregate of 11,378,040 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,916,672 or $0.52 per share, resulting in cash to the Company of $5,516,035 net after placement costs. The offering was made in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and applicable state securities laws.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the Warrants issued during the three months was the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, an acceptable model in accordance with ASC 718-10. The Black-Scholes-Merton model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the Warrants.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the Warrants.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.

Litigation

On July 14, 2010, The EMG Irrevocable Trust dated February 19, 2009, and Shelly Lynn Sands, Trustee of the EMG Irrevocable Trust (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa against the Company and its subsidiary, its transfer agent, its Chief Financial Officer, consultants and agents of the Company, and shareholders of the Company (“Defendants”), claiming among other things, negligence, securities fraud, fraud in investment advisory services, and breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint involves a dispute relative to a private stock transaction between the beneficiary of the Trust and a shareholder of the Company. The Company has engaged legal counsel on its behalf and on behalf of the other Defendants to defend the lawsuit and to file a third party claim against the beneficiary. Counsel does not believe that there are any meritorious claims against the Company or its agents.

Issuance of Warrant

On July 8, 2010, the Company issued an individual a two-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 39,683 underlying shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.52 per share. The Warrant was issued in exchange for consulting services rendered pursuant to the Develo Consulting Agreement of September 1, 2009.

Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement with T2 Consulting, LLC and Tommy G. Thompson

On February 28, 2005, the predecessor of CareView-TX, CareView Communications, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“CareView LLC”), entered into a Subscription and Investor Rights Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with an entity to be known as T2 Consulting, LLC (“T2”), and the principals of T2, namely Tommy G. Thompson (“Thompson”), Gerald L. Murphy (“Murphy”) , and Dennis Langley (“Langley”). Under the Subscription Agreement, T2 purchased a 17% ownership interest in CareView LLC for $1,000 and also received an Adjusted Gross Income Interest entitling T2 to receive 5% of the adjusted gross income of CareView LLC (the “5% AGII”). The 5% AGII was considered senior to any other priority or preference of any kind and at no time could be diluted. The 5% AGII included 5% of (i) all revenue of any type or nature from whatever source received by CareView LLC and its subsidiaries; less (ii) pre-tax, non-debt service, payments to non-affiliates or employees of the company, cost of goods sold (and not general and administrative expenses).

Under the Subscription Agreement, Thompson agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of CareView LLC for an initial service period of February 28, 2005 through May 31, 2008 which service period would continue in an evergreen fashion for successive three year terms. In addition to serving as Chairman, other responsibilities were to be provided by Thompson; however, he was not required to spend more than 25% of his business related time in his capacity as Chairman or by providing other services to CareView LLC. As consideration for those services to be rendered under Article IV of the Subscription Agreement (the “Article IV Payments”), Thompson was to be paid an Annual Base Payment of not less than $300,000 of which $100,000 was to be paid directly to T2 and $200,000 was to be paid to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm with which Thompson is associated. In addition to the Annual Base Payment, terms provided for Thompson to receive other perquisites and benefits comparable to CareView LLC senior executives, reimbursement of travel and related expenses, and reimbursement of

legal fees and expenses in association with the preparation and closing of the Subscription Agreement. Although Thompson began his service as Chairman, he was not required to provide any of the other services under the Subscription Agreement; however, neither he nor T2 would receive the Annual Base Payments or 5% AGII until the occurrence of two conditions subsequent to the Subscription Agreement; namely (i) the Company receiving financing and capitalization sufficient to adequately capitalize the Company, and (ii) the Company signing contracts with two federal hospitals and one private sector hospital. Once the two subsequent conditions had been fulfilled, the amount of the Annual Base Payment would be retroactively applied from March 1, 2005 until the date of the fulfillment of the subsequent condition even though Thompson and T2 might not have provided services under the Subscription Agreement during that time. If Thompson’s services as Chairman were terminated by CareView LLC, T2 would be paid a lump sum on the end date of the service period equal to two year’s worth of the Annual Base Payment in effect at the time of termination.

CareView LLC converted to a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX”) and the Subscription Agreement was assigned and assumed by CareView-TX under the terms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Consent (“Assumption Agreement”) dated October 29, 2007 between T2, Thompson, and CareView-TX. In addition, the Assumption Agreement provided that the Article IV Payments were assigned to and assumed by Thompson personally. Subsequently, Thompson waived the accrual and any past or future obligations of CareView-TX to pay the Article IV Payments.

On August 20, 2010, in an effort to resolve all past, current and future claims due pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into a Revocation and Substitution Agreement with T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley (the “Agreement”). In exchange for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement by T2, Thompson, Murphy and Langley, the Company agreed to issue to each of Thompson, Murphy, and Langley a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company’s Board of Directors believes the Agreement is in the best interest of all of the shareholder of the Company and has determined that it is not necessary to obtain a ‘fairness’ opinion from an independent third-party.

As additional consideration for the revocation of the Subscription Agreement with CareView-TX, Thompson, Murphy, and Langley will receive an aggregated 1 1/2% Gross Income Interest on all revenues (without deductions of any kind) of the Company and its subsidiaries, which income interest is retroactive to the date of the Subscription Agreement. In connection with the income interest, the Company executed an Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest with each of Thompson, Murphy and Langley dated August 20, 2010. An accrual of approximately $5,808 through June 30, 2010 is due pursuant to the 1 1/2% Gross Income Interest, which sum, when added to any sums due for the months of July and August 2010, will be recorded and reflected on the financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended August 30, 2010. The Agreement Regarding Gross Income Interest does not have a termination date; however it does provide that the Company has the right to acquire the Gross Income Interest of Thompson, Murphy and Langley from September 1, 2013 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price and that Thompson, Murphy and Langley each have the right to require that their respective Gross Income Interest be purchased by the Company any time from September 1, 2011 until December 31, 2015, for the Purchase Price. Purchase Price means, absent an agreement between Thompson, Murphy or Langley and the Company to the contrary, at CareView’s election, either: i) a monetary amount equal to the aggregated Gross Income Interest received by either of Thompson, Murphy or Langley in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the sale, transfer or exchange, or ii) the payment of the monetary amount as determined in i) above in shares of CareView’s Common Stock at Fair Market Value. In an additional term in the Gross Income Interest agreement with Langley, the Company agreed that an affiliate of Langley shall be granted a distribution and sales agreement for the Company’s products for government entities in the U.S. including, but not limited to, HHS, VA, DOD and state and local governments. Terms of the distribution agreement will be negotiated at a future date.

its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Careview Communications, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and
2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended 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. As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, the Company has
suffered an accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these
matters are also described in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CAREVIEW COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE A – THE COMPANY

CareView Communications, Inc. (“CareView-NV” or the “Company”), formerly known as Ecogate, Inc, was formed in California in July 1997 as Purpose, Inc., subsequently changing its name to Ecogate, Inc. in April 1999. In October 2007, the Company changed its name to CareView Communications, Inc., and in November 2007, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Nevada.

On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability (“Rockwell”), wherein the following two limited liability companies (the “LLC’s”) were formed, CareView-Hillcrest LLC and CareView-Saline LLC. Under the terms of a Master Investment Agreement, the Company and Rockwell will each own 50% of the LLC’s with Rockwell providing the financing and the Company providing the technology and expertise to fully implement the CareView System™ (as described below) in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas. Refer to NOTE L – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT.

We began our current operation in 2003 as a healthcare information technology company with a patented patient monitoring and entertainment system. The CareView System™ creates a high-speed data network throughout a healthcare facility utilizing the existing cable television infrastructure, Cat-5, or fiber and CareView’s control server. In addition, CareView’s room communication platform provides bedside, point-of-care monitoring, movies and patient education and wireless connectivity to the healthcare facility’s IT network, allowing remote monitoring of medical equipment in the patient’s room and deployment of other emerging point-of-care technologies, including the Company’s newest offering “Virtual Bed Rails” (patent pending). “Virtual Bed Rails” is a fall prediction system that monitors a patient’s activity while in bed and if the patient breaches the “virtual bed rails,” a fall alert is immediately transmitted to the healthcare professional at the nurse’s station.

Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “CareView,” or “our Company” refers to CareView Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and unless otherwise specified, includes its wholly owned subsidiary, CareView Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CareView-TX” or the “Company’s subsidiary”).

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, and the LLC’s in which it has a controlling interest. All intra-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Standard Codification

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Position or Emerging Issue Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”).

The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been update for the Codification.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers amounts held by financial institutions and short-term investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company periodically deposits cash with financial institutions in excess of the maximum federal insurance limits (FDIC) of $250,000 per bank.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Normal trade accounts receivable are due 30 days from invoice date and considered past due after that. At December 31, 2009 there were no past due trade accounts receivable and therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided. Trade accounts receivable passed due more than 90 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations, results of collection efforts, and specific circumstances of the customer. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded as reductions of bad debt expense when received.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Maintenance costs, which do not significantly extend the useful lives of the respective assets, and repair costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. The Company includes Network Equipment in fixed assets upon receipt, but only begins depreciating the Network Equipment when such equipment is installed and accepted by the installation site. The Company attributes no salvage value to the Network Equipment and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of seven years. Also using the straight-line method, depreciation of office and test equipment, warehouse equipment and furniture is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three years for office and test equipment, and five years for warehouse equipment and furniture.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Allowance for System Removal

The Company would remove the CareView System™ due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, collection and revenue performance issues. The Company regularly evaluates the installed CareView Systems™. Costs attributed to the de-installation of equipment are charged to operating expense. As of December 31, 2009, no de-installations had occurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.

Software Development and Patents

The Company has capitalized certain costs of developing software for its CareView System™ in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Capitalized costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value, and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the CareView System™, not to exceed five years.

During 2009 and 2008, the Company capitalized no software development costs. Amortization of previously capitalized software development costs totaled $550,588 for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company capitalized $22,024 and $25,809, respectively in patent related costs, none of which has been amortized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences for financial and income tax reporting related to net operating losses that are available to offset future federal and state income taxes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

 

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company offers CareView’s products and services through a subscription-based contract with each facility for a minimum term of five years. The contract requires the facility to pay the Company the subscription fee monthly. Additionally, the Company collects gross shared revenue from the patient for daily usage and per the terms of the contract remits a portion of those collections to the facility. During the term of the contract, the Company provides continuous monitoring of the CareView System™ and is required to maintain and service all CareView System™ equipment. If the customer requires additional products or services the contract is amended with new pricing or revenue sharing terms and conditions.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Such potential dilutive common shares consist of stock options, non-vested shares (restricted stock) and warrants. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect totaling 25,615,381 are excluded from the diluted earnings per share.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows the requirements of ASC 718-10, Share Based Payments with regard to stock-based compensation issued to employees. The Company has various employment agreements and consulting arrangements that call for stock to be awarded to the employees and consultants at various times as compensation and periodic bonuses. The expense for this stock based compensation is equal to the fair value of the stock that was determined by using the closing trading price on the day the stock was awarded multiplied by the number of shares awarded.

Debt Discounts

Costs incurred with parties who are providing long-term financing, which include the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount. These discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required for Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. Adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 30, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 enhances the disclosure requirements for an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Since ASC 815 requires additional disclosures concerning derivatives and hedging activities, the adoption of ASC 815 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). ASC 805 requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. ASC 805 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“ASC 810-10-65”). ASC 810-10-65 states that a noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity, but separate from stockholders’ equity, in the consolidated financial statements. Previously, companies reported noncontrolling interests as a liability or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. Following the adoption of ASC 810-10-65, the Company will retroactively reflect noncontrolling interest as equity. ASC 810-10-65 changes the way a noncontrolling interest is presented in the consolidated statement of operations, by requiring that consolidated net income include amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. ASC 810-10-65 also requires disclosure on the face of the statement of operations of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to both parent and noncontrolling interest. ASC 810-10-65 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In February 2007, the FASB issued ASC 825-10, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- Including an amendment of ASC 320-10 (“ASC 825-10”). ASC 825-10 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. ASC 825-10 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. The adoption of ASC 825-10 on January 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a loss from operations of approximately $4,000,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009, had an accumulated deficit, and had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $2,700,000. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include raising additional proceeds from debt and equity transactions, and to continue to increase its sales and marketing activities for the CareView System™.

In February 2009, the Company accepted subscription agreements from four individuals whereby the Company sold an aggregate of 176,924 shares of its restricted Common Stock at $0.52 per share for an aggregate net purchase price of $82,800 after placement costs.

On June 1, 2009, the Company engaged a law firm on an hourly basis to represent the Company on general business matters and litigation. The retainer was paid through the issuance of 192,308 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock at a price of $0.52 (the “Retainer Shares”).

As of June 1, 2009, pursuant to the conversion provisions of Subordinated Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) with an entity and an individual, the Company converted the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes into shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock. An aggregate of $1,168,084 was converted into an aggregate of 2,253,464 shares at a conversion price of approximately $0.52.

On August 8, 2009, the Company approved a private placement under which it offered 10,000,000 shares for sale for a maximum offering price of $5,200,000. Through December 31, 2009, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,331,618 restricted shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,212,441 or $0.52 per share, resulting in cash to the Company of $1,142,916 net after placement costs. The aggregate shares and purchase price includes the Retainer Shares described above. The offering was made in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and applicable state securities laws. In connection with and upon the closing of the Company’s private placement, the Company’s placement agent will be issued five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”) for the purchase of shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the actual price paid by the funding source (including but not limited to the effect of any incentive shares issued by Company to an investor, on the price per share paid by the Investor). The number of Warrants to be issued will be equal to eight percent (8%) of the dollar amount of equity issued as a result of any investment. On December 31, 2009 the Company issued 500,000 Warrants valued at $351,000 using the Black-Scholes-Merton model under the terms of the agreement.

   16,271,307    $ 0.52-$1.0367    $ 0.7849    2.3
                       

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the Warrants issued during the year was the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, an acceptable model in accordance with ASC 718-10. The Black-Scholes-Merton model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the Warrants.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the Warrants and is calculated by using the average daily historical stock prices through the day preceding the grant date.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.

Share-based expense for financing and placement fees for Warrants totaling $1,206,836 and $0, recognized in our results for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, is based on awards vested and the Company estimated no forfeitures. ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates.

As of October 9, 2009, non-qualified stock options for all available shares under the 2007 Plan had been issued and the Plan was closed. On November 11, 2009, resulting from the termination of an employee, 10,000 options were cancelled. No options under the 2007 Plan have yet been exercised.

On August 9, 2009, the Company amended the terms of three of its previously issued non-qualified stock options wherein 600,000 underlying shares became immediately vested and the exercise period upon termination of employment for any reason was extended to a period of three (3) years from the date of termination. All other provisions of the non-qualified stock options remain unchanged.

On October 9, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders approved the CareView Communications, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) pursuant to which 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock was reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options.

Share-based compensation expense for stock options recognized in our results for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 ($905,492 and $11,517 respectively) is based on awards vested and the Company estimated no forfeitures. ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates.

At December 31, 2009, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was approximately $0.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. No tax benefit was realized due to a continued pattern of operating losses.

Lock-Up Agreements

In February 2009, the Company’s board of directors ratified and approved Lock-Up Agreements between the Company and 14 individuals or entities covering an aggregate of 87,115,455 shares of its Common Stock. Terms of the Lock-Up Agreements call for the shareholders to refrain from selling shares in order to encourage an orderly trading market for the Company’s stock. The Lock-Up Agreements terminate in December 2009 after which the shareholder agrees not to dispose or sell more than 2.5% of their holdings per quarter for the next twelve-month period. The Lock-Up Agreements terminate upon any change of control of more than 50% of the Company’s shares.

In 2009, the deferred tax valuation allowance increased by $175,000. The realization of the tax benefits is subject to the sufficiency of taxable income in future years. The combined deferred tax assets represent the amounts expected to be realized before expiration.

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent

and feasible profits. As a result of this analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will ultimately be recovered and, accordingly, no valuation allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2009.

NOTE L – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT

On November 16, 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture relationship (the “Master Investment Agreement”) with Rockwell Holdings I, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability (“Rockwell”). The Company will use the funds provided under the joint venture to purchase the previously installed CareView Systems™ at two of its existing hospitals as well as to fund the purchase and installation of additional CareView System™ equipment to complete the installations at the two facilities. Upon completion, it is anticipated that there will be over 900 installations of the CareView System™ in the combined facilities. The Company and Rockwell will each own 50% of the joint venture in these two facilities.

Under the terms of the Master Investment Agreement, the Company will use the investment and financing from Rockwell to fully implement the CareView System™ in Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma (“Hillcrest”) and Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, Arkansas (“Saline”) (the “Project Hospital(s)”).

The Master Investment Agreement provides that the Company and Rockwell will establish a joint venture entity for each Project Hospital (the “Project LLC”) and that:

(i) The Company will assign its hospital contracts to the Project LLC,

(ii) The Company will provide the Project LLC with a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license of intellectual property rights to enable the Project LLC to use the intellectual property needed to operate the CareView Systems™ in each Project Hospital,

(iii) The Company will sell all of the existing CareView Systems™ in the Project Hospitals to the Project LLC,

(iv) The Company will acquire, install, set-up and then sell and maintain, on behalf of the Project LLC, all equipment and other personal property necessary for the operation of the CareView Systems™ at each Project Hospital,

NOTE L – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (continued)

 

(v) The Project LLC will grant a security interest to Rockwell in all equipment, fixtures, and inventory, among other things, as collateral for payment of the Project Note, as described below.

The structure of the joint venture between Rockwell and the Company is in the form of a Project LLC for each of the Project Hospitals. Both Rockwell and the Company will own 50% of each Project LLC and Rockwell will receive a Project Note for each Project LLC (as discussed below). Rockwell will have a preferred return of its equity in the Project LLC plus 10% on the unreturned amount of that equity, and 50% of the aggregate monthly fees charged for the primary package will be dedicated to payment of Rockwell’s preferred return on its ownership. The Company classified Rockwell’s equity interest as mandatorily redeemable pursuant to FASB ASC 480-10-65 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” since it represents an unconditional obligation by the Company to redeem its membership interest in the LLC’s.

Pursuant to the Master Investment Agreement, Rockwell provided $1,151,145 as the initial funding for the Hillcrest Project Hospital and the Saline Project Hospital, which funding was confirmed in a Funding Agreement entered into between the Company and Rockwell. The Funding Agreement anticipates future funding as provided for in the Master Investment Agreement upon completion of the Project Hospitals.

Each Project LLC is governed by an Operating Agreement under which the Company and Rockwell are its initial members, each owning 50% of the outstanding ownership units. Each Operating Agreement also allocates the distributions of cash, payment of company expenses and debt service, and distribution of remaining funds. Payments from a Project Hospital to a Project LLC are deposited into an escrow account jointly controlled by the Company and the Project LLC pursuant to a Project Escrow Agreement, and once deposits into the escrow account are collected by the escrow agent, they are immediately transferred into a separate account in the name of the Project LLC.

Each Project LLC has executed and delivered a Project Note to Rockwell in the amount of one-half of the funding already provided to it by Rockwell, and once the full funding is provided by Rockwell upon completion of the CareView System™ installations at the Project Hospitals, each Project LLC will replace the earlier Project Note by delivering to Rockwell an amended and restated Project Note representing the earlier Project Note’s outstanding balance together with one-half of the additional funding provided by Rockwell. A Project Note will earn interest at the rate of ten percent (10%). Principal payments under each Project Note shall be payable in equal monthly installments of one-half of the aggregated monthly fees charged for the primary package under the Project Hospital contract. Payments shall commence on the earlier to occur of the date that monthly primary package fees first become payable under the Project Hospital contract or six months from the date of the original Project Note; provided, however, that the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest of a Project Note shall be paid in full on or before the third anniversary of the date that payments commenced thereunder. Accordingly the Company has classified one-third of the balance as current.

As additional consideration to Rockwell for providing the funding, the Company shall issue to Rockwell a warrant (“Project Warrant”) granting Rockwell the right to purchase, for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.52 per share, such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that is equal to the total amount of funding after completion of the Project Hospitals.

NOTE L – JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (continued)

 

The Master Investment Agreement includes provisions under which the Company may elect to purchase, for cash, Rockwell’s entire interest in each Project LLC at a pre-determined price based on annualized net cash flow from the Project Hospital plus the payment of any unpaid preferred return (if any) and the estimated amount of any additional distributions that would be payable from the Project LLC to Rockwell during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital. In addition, upon the Company’s purchase of Rockwell’s interest in a Project LLC, the Company would have to pay the remaining balance due (if any) under the Project Note and any forgone interest under the Project Note that would have accrued during the remaining balance (if any) of the initial term of the contract with the Project Hospital. Additionally, there are provisions under which Rockwell may, if the Project Note has been paid and Rockwell has received its preferred return, elect to require the Company to purchase its entire interest in each Project LLC based on a pre-determined percentage of the annualized net cash flow of the Project Hospital. If Rockwell makes that election, the Company may chose to fund the purchase with a five-year promissory note bearing interest at 10% per annum. Rockwell was granted preferred investor status that provides, in the event that the Company funds similar projects through a different investor with more favorable terms, that Rockwell may elect to amend the terms of its existing project funding to be consistent with those more favorable terms.

NOTE M – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Granting of Options

In January 2010, the Company granted non-qualified stock options (“Options”) to officers and directors of the Company to purchase 425,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the 2009 Plan. The ten-year Options vested immediately with all Options exercisable at any time after issuance through January 2020 at the exercise price of $0.52 per share.

Lease Line of Credit

On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of agreement with Fountain Fund 2 LP managed by Fountain Partners of San Francisco (“Fountain”) for a Lease Line of Credit (“Lease Line”) for up to $5 million. Under the Lease Line, CareView will lease installed CareView Systems™ from Fountain and will repay the draws on the Lease Line over a period of three (3) years. CareView and Fountain executed a Master Lease covering the installed CareView Systems™ which calls for pre-determined monthly rental over a three year period (the “Base Term”). Prior to the expiration of the Base Term, CareView may elect to (i) purchase the equipment, or (ii) extend or renew the lease for an additional twelve (12) months with a subsequent option to return the equipment to Fountain.

An origination fee of one percent (1%) of the lease schedule amount will be due upon signing of each lease schedule. The cost of equipment to Fountain shall not exceed $500,000 per month with each month carrying over to the next month if not used unless this limited is waived by Fountain. The draw window is open to December 5, 2010 (“Draw Window”). CareView agrees to pay Fountain a deposit of two percent (2%) of the unused Lease Line amount. Upon execution of the Lease Line, CareView issued a ten-year warrant to purchase a total of 450,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.52 per share. On January 29, 2010, the Company paid a $20,000 deposit to Fountain for the unused Lease Line.
