InstaCare Corp.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K/A. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of consolidated interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-01 (ASU 2011-01) Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, the guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual period ending after June 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2011-01 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon attaining profitable operations based on the development of distributions platforms through which our products that can be sold. We intend to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the affects of our cash position, however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if required, will be available. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY LINE OF CREDIT
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we authorized the release of an additional 200,000 shares of preferred series E stock valued at $85,000 for Centurions authorization to fund an advance in excess of amounts define in our loan agreement. In addition, as a condition of authorizing the excess advance, Centurion required collateral in the form of our preferred series B stock, to be issued in their name and held by their legal counsel. In the event of default, Centurion maintains the ability to convert the aforementioned shares into common shares at a rate of 100,000 to 1 in order to cure any potential default. The outstanding shares of this issue if fully converted, would create 100,000,000 shares of new $.001 par value common stock. The fair value of the underlying common shares at the date of issuance totaled $5,900,000, Due to the material relationship that has developed as a result of our financing activities with Centurion, they are deemed to be a related party in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. As of March 31, 2011, the balance owed net of amortizable loan fees was $1,898,326

a)
In 2005, our former CEO determined that it was in the best interests of the company to borrow funds by offering a series of convertible promissory notes to private investors. The principal sum of these notes was $170,000. Pursuant to these notes, we agreed to pay each note holder their principal balance and accrued interest at an annual rate of 15% maturing in one year from the date of issuance. Our former CEO employed the services of a sales agent and paid this agent certain fees in 2005 and 2006. On March 30, 2010 after a dispute arose over whether our former CEO was authorized to borrow these funds without prior approval of the Board, and after several disputes arose with these investors, the company determined that each debt would be dealt with separately and accordingly we entered into a debt settlement agreement with the one such investor for the payment of his principal balance of $25,000 and accrued interest of $15,938 for a total amount owed of $40,938. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we issued 300,000 shares of our common stock valued at $34,500 and agreed to pay an additional $15,000 in cash to the investor for a total sum of $49,500. The excess payment of $8,562 was recorded as interest expense. As of March 31, 2011, the principal balance owed to the remaining investors was $145,000 with accrued interest of $116,625.
b)
On June 20, 2007, we entered into a promissory note with Invacare for the principal amount of $160,385, bearing interest at a rate of 9% per annum and maturing on June 10, 2010. On March 4, 2011, we re-negotiated this note whereby the principal balance and accrued interest were reduced by $35,335 and $6,541, respectively. In addition, the maturity was extended an additional twelve months to March 2012. As a result of the amendments to the note, we recognized a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $41,849. Pursuant to the amended terms of the note, we are required to make monthly principal and interest payments of $1,900. As of March 31, 2011, the principal balance totaled $43,410 and accrued interest was $326.
We have recorded interest and financing expense totaling $309,797 and $60,441 for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 5 FAIR VALUE
Our financial instruments consist principally of notes payable and lines of credit. Notes payable and lines of credit are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. Management determines the fair value of notes payable and lines of credit based on the effective yields of similar obligations and believe all of the financial instruments recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.
We comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement (ASC 820-10-35), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. The Company also follows ASC 825 Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to expand required disclosures.
ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below:
6
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011:

Preferred
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, we have issued an additional 40,000 shares of our preferred Series E stock to Centurion Credit Resources to be held in escrow with Centurions legal counsel for financing fees in connection with our line of credit.

NOTE 9 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
We currently maintain an executive office at 2660 Townsgate Road, Suite 300, Westlake Village, CA 91361. The space consists of approximately 2,300 square feet. The monthly rental for the space is $4,170 per month on a month-to-month basis.
On June 7, 2005, we entered into a month to month agreement for the right to use offices, warehouses and shipping facilities for the storage and shipping of pharmaceuticals located at 515 Inman Avenue, Colonia, NJ 07067 and 25 Minna Street, Rahway, New Jersey.
Rent expense amounted to $35,200 and $32,201 for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Contingencies
We transact commerce in several medical products market channels. We also transact commerce by licensing our proprietary medical software that functions by moving confidential medical data through our proprietary medical information technology devices and networks. Our new Shasta Genstrip product required initial regulatory approval by the USFDA as well as on-going USFDA approvals during the product life cycle. Further, Shasta Genstrip required medical patient trials and will compete directly with a major platform manufacturer.
Healthcare, especially those segments where the company competes, is a very litigious. The medical industry is also intertwined. From time to time, we may become involved in claims and litigation that arise out of the normal course of business, such as litigation that emerges from disputes over damaged, missing or contaminated product. We may also become involved in disputes that arise over the business or business practices of our suppliers, payors and customers. The company maintains substantial insurance coverage against suits that may arise over issues of damaged, recalled or counterfeit product and other product liability issues. The company has also been a victim of the unapproved acts of prior management. These acts have resulted in claims from individuals and entities since the Board relieved former management of duty in 2006. Nonetheless, these claims have resulted in the use of management time and company resources to investigate, litigate, or settle. In addition, the company accrues contingent legal fees and product liability fees. As of March 31, 2011, our accrual was $205,500.
From time to time, the company may also be subject to demands from individuals or entities. These demands and disputes may consume management time and company resources. Other than as noted below there are no pending matters at the current time that in managements judgment may be considered potentially material to us.
NOTE 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855, management evaluated all activity of the Company through the issue date of the financial statements and concluded that no other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
instaCare Corp. is a nationwide prescription and non-prescription diagnostics and home testing products distributor. The U.S. FDA in a manner similar to prescription drugs regulates diagnostic test kits and at-home patient testing products but the products we distribute, for the most part, do not require a doctors prescription for anything other than insurance benefit compliance. Our subsidiaries, Pharma Tech Solutions, Inc., Pharmtech Direct Corp. and PDA Services, Inc. operate in several healthcare products distribution channels. We distribute brand name prescription and non-prescription diagnostics products, as well as several lines of ostomy, wound care and post-surgery medical products.
We have recently begun gearing up to introduce a proprietary diagnostic product, the Shasta Genstrip, for the at-home testing of blood glucose, a $20 billion worldwide market. Shasta Genstrip will compete directly with the largest of the platform manufacturers in the at-home blood glucose testing market, the platform manufacturers product currently used daily by over 3 million diabetes afflicted Americans. In anticipation of the introduction of Genstrip in late 2Q 2011 or 3Q 2011 we have phased out sales of those brand name products that will, in the future, compete with our Shasta Genstrip and we have begun the new product investments needed for the coming product launch. Phasing out sales of these products lowered our order intake by approximately $1,875,000 in 1Q 2011.
Typically, and except for our own Shasta Genstrip, which is an alternative product, we distribute name brand products. The company directs its marketing efforts to ambulatory and semi-ambulatory older Americans afflicted with diabetes and complications caused by diabetes and old age. The company, originally a medical IT company with proprietary IT product lines, acquired its medical products distribution business in late 2004 through a merger with Phoenix, Arizona based CareGeneration, Inc. We have grown the original CareGeneration business through subsequent acquisitions of private businesses and strategic partnerships with larger private pharmacies. We intend to acquire additional private companies in this industry to achieve our goal of becoming a full service value added provider of products and services to an ever-growing market.
We also offer information technology solutions in several medical care market channels by providing physicians with information at the point of care. Our products, unlike those from many other medical information companies, make use of smart cell phones such as the Apple iPhone, the Palm Pre, the Google Droid and a wide selection of Microsoft Windows based smart phones and operate in either in a wireless or wired mode, which allow physicians to carry, access and update their patients histories, also known as electronic medical records or EMR, medication data, and best care guidelines - all at the point of care, or from any other location the physician may be located. In addition, the companys products employ proprietary mathematical game theory features adapted by the company for medical use that allow acceptance of diagnoses and treatment protocols where the medical information may have originated from one or several locations and one time or several times.
We have entered into eight partnerships with freestanding pharmacies in the states of New York, Maryland, New Jersey and Arizona. We believe that we will be able to provide value added services to our customers by cost reductions brought about by increased efficiencies and cross marketing opportunities.
We have received multiple inquiries from companies interested in perhaps collaborating with the company for the implementation of its cell phone centric technologies MD@Hand and MD@Work. We are in final discussions with a Florida based concern who is a leader in the mobile health computing market. In addition to this proposed partnership, we continue to discuss alternative propositions with other interested companies ranging from clinical laboratories, service organizations owned or aligned with medical health insurers, a medical content provider and legacy healthcare systems companies. All of our discussions are with companies are much larger than instaCare. We may or may not entertain additional proposed partnerships for our implementation of the cell phone centric technologies, which has been hindered, by the slow implementation of regulations, protocols and data formats by the Federal government.
In May 2010, we entered into agreement with Shasta Technologies, Inc. and Broadtree, Inc. This agreement granted our Pharma Tech Solutions, Inc. subsidiary the exclusive marketing rights to a new diagnostic product not yet on the market, now named Shasta Genstrip (Genstrip). The Genstrip product was developed to compete against the market leader in the $20 billion at home testing market. In April 2011, the company renegotiated its agreement changing its many roles and adding responsibility for regulatory approval, manufacturing and forecasting, international sales and additional sales markets in the U.S.
In September 2010, we entered into agreement with Wal-mart Stores, Inc., for the provision of the retail store version of the Shasta Genstrip. Wal-mart is the largest retailer in the world. In February 2011, we renewed the agreement with Wal-mart adding the Medicare version of Shasta Genstrip for Wal-marts Medicare Parts B and D initiatives. The company is also in discussions with other retailers, chain pharmacies, chain supermarkets and master wholesale distributors and plans to conclude these agreements in 2011.
11
We currently employ five full-time staff at our executive office located at 2660 Townsgate Road, Suite 300, Westlake Village, California 91361. In addition, we maintain two full-time and seven part-time positions between our properties located in Florida, Arizona, California and New Jersey. These positions are for sales and marketing, distribution and customer service representatives. Our telephone number is (805) 446-1973 and our website address is www.instaCare.net.
Business activities throughout the next twelve months:
The companys business on a day-to-day basis includes the distribution of prescription and non--prescription diagnostics, at-home testing, post-surgical products, and later in the latter part of 2Q 2011 or 3Q 2011, the sales and distribution of Shasta Genstrip. Beginning in November 2009, we introduced our cell-phone centric medical IT products that offer solutions in medical care and management by providing physicians with information at the point of care. Unlike other medical information systems using standard computer terminals or even palm-sized computers (PDAs), our software applications operate on a series of late generation smart e-cell phones including the Apple iPhone, the Palm Pre, the Google Droid, several makes of RIMs Blackberry and many versions of the Microsoft Windows smart phones. Our products allow physicians to access and update their patients histories, medication data, and best care guidelines - all at the point of care. The companys Electronic Medical Records software is believed to be the first EMR application running on any palm sized mobile device.
Our business objectives include:
| 1. | Providing medical communication and EMR medical history and storage devices based on networks of smart cell phones These products are believed to provide benefits of on demand medical information to private practice physicians, licensed medical service providers such as diagnostic testing laboratories, and medical insurers. We have created cell phone-centric products and a suite of Internet enhanced software applications that include those features that specifically respond to the requirements of the practicing physician and the regulations currently being promulgated by the Federal government. |
| 2. | Combining our newly acquired wholesale and retail drug distribution with our cell phone centric technologies, creating wholesale and retail ePharmacies similar in function to existing Internet pharmacies but directed to serving the large base of underinsured and uninsured Americans; and |
|
|
|
| 3. | The practice of specializing in the distribution of brand-name medical diagnostic and medical disposable products associated with the on-going care of diabetes-inflicted patients now that our new proprietary diagnostic product Shasta Genstrip is coming to the market. |
We also have adapted our medical communications and EMR technologies to service the real estate management and hotel/motel/convenience industries in their own commercial settings. In March 2010, our Board approved the sale of the companys hotel/motel technologies and business base so we can focus on our core medical IT and medical distribution businesses. We have recently received several inquiries. In the past when we had market focus on the hotel/motel industry, our real estate and hotel/motel objectives include building electronic commerce networks based on personal digital assistants (PDA) and pad based computers to the hotels, motels and single building, multi-unit apartment buildings with a desire to offer local advertising and electronic services to their tenants/guests.
Financing Requirements
At March 31, 2011, we had cash of $593,000 and working capital of $2,402,000. We were advanced a total of $1,880,000 on our line of credit and repaid $1,680,000 during the three-months ended March 31, 2011. We estimate that approximately $6.3 million in additional advances will be required to finance our cost of goods during the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2011. We also anticipate that we will require $56 million in advances to finance our expected sales of Genstrip. We will continue to seek a combination of equity and long-term debt financing as well as other traditional cash flow and asset backed financing to meet our financing needs and to reduce our overall cost of capital. Additionally, in order to accelerate our growth rate and to finance general corporate activities, we may supplement our existing sources of funds with financing arrangements at the operating system level or through additional short-term borrowings. As a further capital resource, we may sell or lease certain rights or assets from our portfolio as appropriate opportunities become available. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing, on acceptable terms or at all.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) included under Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.
Revenues and cost of sales
During the 1st quarter of 2011, we experienced a decline in revenue compared to the same period in the previous year. We attribute the decline in revenue to the phasing out of sales of those brand name diagnostic products that will directly compete with our new Shasta Genstrip. In addition, the overall at home testing market is being hindered by the general poor economic conditions, which have continued into the current year. Our decrease in cost of sales is primarily the direct result of our revenue decline. However, we were able to achieve a slight increase in our overall gross profit margin based on our re-negotiated wholesale pricing.
Operational Expenses
Operational expenses include general and administration expenses, compensation expense consulting and professional fees.
General and administration expenses include office expenses (including rent, cleaning and maintenance, utilities, and telephone), bad debt, insurance, and bank charges. During the 1st quarter of 2011, general and administration expenses increased by $195,000 to $277,000 (1st quarter 2010 - $82,000). The significant increase relates to a non-recurring charge of $191,000 for potential uncollectible accounts receivable. General and administration expenses currently account for approximately 9% of our total revenue and are not expected to increase significantly during the remainder of 2011 in relation to revenue. As we experience growth in revenues, general and administration expenses are expected to decrease on a percentage of revenue basis.
13
Compensation expense for the 1st quarter of 2011 increased by $1,000 to $11,000 (1st quarter 2010 - $10,000) an increase of 9%. This increase is mainly due to a small net gain of essential support personnel for new business development over the last 12 months. Generally, our staffing levels have remained constant at five full-time employees as at March 31, 2011 in our Westlake California facility, and seven full time professionals nationwide. We do not expect to increase the number of individuals we currently utilize during 2011, except for certain people to be brought on as a result of new distributing agreements as well as the launch of Genstrip, requiring an increase the number of sales and marketing teams currently in place.
Consulting expenses Historically, management shifts its labor requirements between, outside consultants, casual labor and in-house management dependent upon availability and cost effectiveness of resources. During the 1st quarter of 2011, the majority of our labor expense was derived from casual-labour verses the use of outside consultants whereas in 2010, it was primarily outside consultants. Our compensation structure is comprised of both cash and equity of the Company.
Professional fees include accounting services, legal fees and regulatory reporting compliance. The increase of $19,000 is comprised of an increase in both accounting and legal fees. The majority of which is attributable to an increase in legal fees of $12,000. During the 1st quarter of 2011, we engaged additional legal counsel to assist in the review of potential new sales/distributing agreements as well as to review general corporate matters. We anticipate our legal fees to continue until all ongoing litigation issues are resolved. Accounting and audit fees increased by $7,000 over the previous period as expected due changes in service providers.
Other Income and Expense
Our other income and expense includes costs related to our financing activities, more specifically the costs associated with our line of credit with Centurion Credit Resources, LLC. (Centurion). Centurion has provided us a line of credit up to $2,500,000. Our costs associated with maintaining our line of credit include the issuance of shares of our common stock equal to 80% of each advance. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we authorized the release of an additional 200,000 shares of preferred series E stock valued at $85,000 for Centurions authorization to fund an advance in excess of amounts define in our loan agreement. In addition, as a condition of authorizing the excess advance, Centurion required collateral in the form of our preferred series B stock, to be issued in their name and held by their legal counsel. In the event of default, Centurion maintains the ability to convert the aforementioned shares into common shares at a rate of 100,000 to 1 in order to cure any potential default.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, management has entered into various agreements for the settlement of the Companys historic debt obligations. As a result of these negotiated settlements, the Companys obligations have been reduced from their historical carrying amounts. In 2011, settlements were negotiated down $42,000 compared to $15,000 below carrying amounts in 2010. We do not anticipate further gains on debt settlement or other settlement cost during 2011.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss for the 1st quarter of 2011 of $340,000 compared to net income in the comparable period of 2010 a period over period change totalling $511,000. The loss has been realized due to several non-cash and non-recurring expenses recognized during the quarter. The substantial components of these transactions include the recording of a bad debt allowance in the amount of $191,000 and the preferred stock issuance to Centurion valued at $85,000, which related to a single excess line of credit advance authorized in March 2011. In addition, we also recorded a $100,000 non-cash expense for the amortization of our loan renewal fee, which was not imposed in the prior period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A critical component of our operating plan affecting our continued existence is the ability to obtain favourable capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. We do not anticipate generating sufficient positive internal operating cash flow until we can increase our existing market share and improve operating margins, which may take several years. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to cease or significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.
The following table summarizes our current assets, liabilities and working capital at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010.

Our accounts receivable have increased by $1,280,000 (2010 $400,000) due to an increase in our collections period. Prepaid expenses decreased by $1,309,000 (2010 $390,000). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have increased by $67,000 (2010 $368,000) due to our operations being partially financed by our creditors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Financial Officer, Keith Berman, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no change in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system, which is determined to be effective, cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We transact commerce in several medical products market channels. We also transact commerce by licensing our proprietary medical software that functions by moving confidential medical data through our proprietary medical information technology devices and networks. Our new Shasta Genstrip product required initial regulatory approval by the USFDA as well as on-going USFDA approvals during the product life cycle. Further, Shasta Genstrip required medical patient trials and will compete directly with a major platform manufacturer.
Healthcare, especially those segments where the company competes, is a very litigious. The medical industry is also intertwined. From time to time, we may become involved in claims and litigation that arise out of the normal course of business, such as litigation that emerges from disputes over damaged, missing or contaminated product. We may also become involved in disputes that arise over the business or business practices of our suppliers, payors and customers. The company maintains substantial insurance coverage against suits that may arise over issues of damaged, recalled or counterfeit product and other product liability issues. The company has also been a victim of the unapproved acts of prior management. These acts have resulted in claims from individuals and entities since the Board relieved former management of duty in 2006. Nonetheless, these claims have resulted in the use of management time and company resources to investigate, litigate, or settle. In addition, the company accrues contingent legal fees and product liability fees. As of March 31, 2011, our accrual was $205,500.
From time to time, the company may also be subject to demands from individuals or entities. These demands and disputes may consume management time and company resources. Other than as noted below there are no pending matters at the current time that in managements judgment may be considered potentially material to us.
Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd (BVI) in receivership vs. instaCare Corp. et al.

(BVI) (in receivership) brought an action in United States District Court, Central District of California, Case # CV 10 4703 against instaCare Corp., Keith Berman and Robert Cox alleging conversion by InstaCare of certain Convertible Preferred Series C Stock allegedly owned by Monarch, breach of contract and breach of a promissory note. On August 12, 2010, the company received an initial formal settlement offer through the counsel for the Liquidator. Subsequently there have been additional offers and counter-offers. Among other stated issues, these offers of settlement are intended to end the litigation.
