SecureAlert reports second quarter results, expands international footprint

SANDY, Utah, May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SecureAlert, Inc. (OTCBB: SCRA), a global tracking and electronic monitoring services company, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The operating results reflect the company's ongoing investment and expansion of its technologies and international footprint, which are fueling its momentum toward full recovery and positioning as an emerging industry leader.

The company had a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaling $1,292,119 compared to a net loss of $1,638,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $346,666. This decrease is a result of other income and an offset to expenses recognized from a settlement agreement and licensing arrangement offset by a reduction of gross profit generated from monitoring services in connection with an international customer.

The second quarter was highlighted by SecureAlert's acquisition of Global Tracking & Surveillance System Ltd. (GPS Global), a privately-held technology research, development and services company based in Kfar Saba, Israel, a suburb of Tel Aviv.  The acquisition brought to SecureAlert a significant suite of low-cost, high-performance products and solutions, as well as established access into a number of new international markets.  In addition, SecureAlert gained a robust research and development presence in a nation well-known for its many entrepreneurial innovations in technology, electronics and security systems.

"We achieved several important milestones in our second quarter that will provide steady progress in enhancing our talent, proprietary infrastructure, product portfolio and access to markets around the world," said Chairman Guy Dubois.  "SecureAlert will continue to pursue this expansion and development path as we become one of the few truly premier international brand names in the growing but fragmented electronic monitoring industry."

"We will continue to pursue our growth strategy with vigor," Dubois said, "as this repositioning of the company to an acknowledged position of industry leadership is the best means of delivering superior value to our shareholders."

A detailed discussion of its first quarter results is included in SecureAlert's 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2014. A copy of this report is available at www.securealert.com.
