VIRTRA SYSTEMS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006. They do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Companys Form 10-KSB/A, as amended on August 20, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the respective full year.
Note 2. Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has significant deficit working capital and recurring losses. Although the Company has engaged in fund raising efforts, there is no guarantee that either the fund raising efforts or cash flows from operations, if any, will generate sufficient working capital for the Company to remain as a going concern.
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital and fails to achieve profitable operations with positive cash flows, it will be forced to liquidate its assets in an attempt to pay creditors at which time the assets on the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 will be liquidated at amounts possibly substantially less than carried as of that date. It is therefore possible that, should the Company be forced to liquidate, there will be insufficient cash to pay all creditors and provide the Companys shareholders a return on their investment.
Note 3. Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from custom application contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date, to the total estimated costs for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material, and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tools, and repairs costs. General and administrative costs, including all salaries and wages, are charged to expense as incurred.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized.
Embedded Derivatives and Beneficial Conversion Features of Financing Arrangements
Certain of our debentures payable contain embedded derivatives and conversion features as defined in SFAS 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Specifically, these financing arrangements contain
beneficial conversion features which allow the debenture holder to convert the debenture into common stock at a rate which is variable depending on the market price. Moreover, since the number of shares to be issued upon such conversion, if any, is indeterminable and since it is possible that the number of shares to be issued under this arrangement could exceed the amount of authorized shares, we must provide for the possibility of having to settle such an obligation using means other than our own common stock (the Derivative Liability).
We use the Black-Scholes method to value the beneficial conversion features and the derivative liability. The value of the beneficial conversion features are accounted for as a discount on the face amount of the debentures. This discount is amortized over the life of the debentures using the effective interest method.
The derivative liability was valued at inception of the debentures and is revalued at each reporting period with the resulting gain or loss reporting on the Statement of Operations under Gain/(loss) on derivative liability.
Note 4. Convertible Debentures
During February 2005 and August 2005 the Company issued $750,000 and $500,000, respectively, in convertible debentures. The debentures bear interest at 8% per year payable in cash or registered common stock at the Companys option. The debentures mature in February and August 2008 and are convertible, at the option of the holder, to shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the lowest closing bid price for the common stock for the fifteen days prior to the conversion date; or (ii) 125% of the volume weighted average price on the closing date.
In addition the Company issued to the holders of the convertible debentures warrants to purchase 750,000 and 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock (see Note 6).
Pursuant to SFAS 133, the Company bifurcated the conversion feature from the debentures because the conversion price is not fixed and the debentures are not convertible into a fixed number of shares. Accordingly, the embedded derivative must be bifurcated and accounted for separately.
At and as of September 30, 2007, the following items relating to the convertible debentures, the discount on the convertible debentures relating to the beneficial conversion features, and the embedded derivative liability have been included in these financial statements:
9/30/07 | 12/31/06 | |
Balance Sheet Effect: | ||
Principal balance on debentures payable | 422,002 | 470,117 |
Unamortized discount | (126,542) | (255,792) |
Net debenture liability | 295,460 | 214,325 |
Accrued interest on debentures | 545,725 | 496,239 |
Total balance sheet effect of debentures payable | 841,185 | 843,968 |
Statement of Operations Effect: | ||
Interest expense | 56,562 | |
Amortization of debenture discount | 129,250 | |
Total Statement of Operations Effect | 185,812 |
Note 5. Stock Options and Warrants
The Company periodically issues incentive stock options to key employees, officers, directors, and outside consultants to provide additional incentives to promote the success of the Companys business and to enhance the
9
ability to attract and retain the services of qualified persons. Warrants are periodically issued in connection with financing arrangements.
On January 25, 2007, our board of directors granted 13,074,499 options to employees, officers and directors, to purchase our common stock pursuant to our employee stock option plan. The options are fully vested on the grant date and are exercisable for seven years with an exercise price of $0.04. We valued these options at $413,445 using the Black-Scholes method using a volatility rate of 144.06%, an exercise price of $0.04, and a discount rate of 4.79%. The value of these options is included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
In October of 2005 the Company registered the sale by Duchess Private Equities Fund II, L.P. (Duchess) of an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock issuable to that company upon conversion of convertible debentures and upon exercise of warrants issued to it. On July 1, 2006, a portion of the shares covered by that registration statement remained unsold and the financial statements included in that registration statement's prospectus exceeded the maximum age for financial statements permitted under the SEC's regulations. The Company did not inform Duchess, as it was required to do under its contract, that the prospectus could no longer be used. As a result, sales made by Duchess after July 1, 2006 by means of the outdated prospectus were regarded as unregistered for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, giving purchasers of those shares a right to rescind their purchases at any time within one year after the date of purchase. During the period from July 6, 2006 through October 20, 2006, Duchess sold an aggregate of 5,434,138 shares using the updated prospectus, at prices ranging from $0.03 to $0.073. The aggregate sales price for all of those sales was $254,977. The Company is required under its agreement with Duchess to indemnify Duchess for any loss it might suffer as a result of any exercise of those rescission rights by purchasers. The Company is unable to predict whether any of those purchasers will seek rescission of their purchases. If they do, the Company will be obligated to indemnify Duchess for an amount equal to the difference between the sales prices of those shares and the value of the shares it receives back from the purchasers upon rescission. If all of the purchasers were to rescind their purchases and if all of the shares taken back by Duchess as a result or to become totally valueless, the Company would owe Duchess $254,977 as a result of the rescission. As of September 30, 2007, and through the date of this report we are unaware of any claims presented to Duchess under this provision of our agreement with them.
Note 7. Common Stock Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we issued the following shares:
On January 16, 2007, we issued 1,875,000 shares to three accredited investors for $81,250 in cash.
On January 26, 2007, we issued 3 million shares to our counsel representing us in our lawsuit with Jones and Cannon. We valued these shares at $75,000 based upon the closing price of the Companys common stock at the measurement date and the cost is included in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On June 28, 2007, we issued 5,168,388 shares to members and ex-members of our board of directors as compensation for services. These shares were valued at $175,725 in these financial statements and were recorded as a retirement of previously-accrued compensation for our board of directors.
Upon receipt of notice of conversion from Duchess Private Equities Fund II, L.P., we issued the following shares to convert our debenture balances into our common stock: 969,725 shares on April 18; 323,275 shares on August 2; 350,000 shares on August 22; 351,000 shares on August 31; 402,500 shares on September 5; 450,000 shares on September 5; 550,000 shares on September 21 and 600,000 shares on September 25, for an aggregate total of 3,996,500 shares. In issuing these shares, we retired $75,266 of our interest and principal liability on these debentures.
10
On August 28, 2007, we issued 5,200,000 shares to a consultant for services provided throughout 2006 and 2007. We valued these shares at $130,000, the fair value at issuance, and retired existing debt to the consultant.
We issued 2,500,000 shares in partial settlement of the judgment entered against us in the matter of Jones and Cannon, LP Vs VirTra Systems, Inc. We will carry the remaining liability on this matter of $167,526 until the matter is completely settled.

We have incurred total costs of $463,276 on contracts totaling $1,469,515 of total revenue. We estimate that we will incur approximately $75,000 of additional costs and do not expect to incur any losses on our uncompleted contracts. Our Cost in excess of billings was $61,549.
Note 9. Other Assets
Other assets at September 30, 2007 is comprised of costs of internally developed software for our products of $240,770, less the accumulated amortization of $174,408. The balances at December 31, 2006 for the cost of internally developed software and the related accumulated amortization was $213,432 and $125,358, respectively.

Business Overview
Our principal business began in 1993 with the organization of Ferris Productions, Inc. Ferris designed, developed, distributed, and operated virtual reality products for the entertainment, simulation, promotion, and education markets. Virtual reality is a generic term associated with computer systems that create a real-time visual/audio/haptic (touch and feel) experience. Virtual reality immerses participants into a three-dimensional real-time synthetic environment generated or controlled by one (or several) computer(s). In September of 2001, Ferris merged into GameCom, Inc., a publicly held Texas company whose principal business at the time was the development and marketing of an Internet-enabled video game system. Our historic areas of application have included the entertainment/amusement, advertising/promotion, and training/simulation markets. We effectively left the entertainment/amusement market in the spring of 2003 in order to more fully focus on the advertising/promotional and training/simulation markets.
Our immersive virtual reality™” devices are computer-based, and allow participants to view and manipulate graphical representations of physical reality. Stimulating the senses of sight, sound, touch, and smell simultaneously, our virtual reality devices envelop the participant in dynamic filmed or computer-generated imagery, and allow the participant to interact with what he or she sees using simple controls and body motions. Virtual reality products have traditionally employed head-mounted displays that combine high-resolution miniature image source monitors, wide field-of-view optics, and tracking sensors in a unit small and light enough to be worn on the head. These products usually surround the participant with dynamic three-dimensional imagery, allowing the user to change perspective on the artificial scenes by simply moving his or her head. Virtual reality devices have in the past been used primarily in connection with electronic games, as, by surrounding the player with the sights, sounds, and smells he or she would experience in the real world, play is made far more realistic than it would be if merely presented in a two-dimensional flat screen display. Now, however, virtual reality is finding increasing applications in the advertising/promotion and training/simulation markets.
We maintain our corporate office at 2500 City West Blvd., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 77042, and our telephone number is (832) 242-1100. We also maintain engineering, technical, and production offices, and a demonstration facility, at 1406 West 14th Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281, with a phone number of (480) 968-1488.
We face all the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the expansion and development of a business, difficulties in maintaining delivery schedules if and when volume increases, the need to develop support arrangements for systems at widely dispersed physical locations, and the need to control operating and general and administrative expenses.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2006
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, our revenues increased to $1,222,325, a 268% increase over the $462,921 we posted for the same period in 2006. This is principally due to the general increase in business volume we have enjoyed from the strong demand for our products. Our gross margins of $746,289 remain fairly constant at 62% of our net sales versus the same period in 2006, where we posted 61% gross margins, or $284,348.
Our general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $1,280,723 were up significantly over the $561,870 we recorded over the same period in 2006. The majority of the increase is due to our recording of non-cash stock options, valued at $413,445, to our employees, officers and directors.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
12
Our revenues of $1,827,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 represented a significant increase over the $1,255,827 reported for the same period in 2006. Virtually all of the increase is due to the revenues we recorded in the third quarter.
Our general and administrative expenses of $1,797,167, when adjusted downward for non-cash options of $413,445, are slightly lower than the $1,430,549 reported for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Plan of Operation
As of September 30, 2007, we remain extremely illiquid because of our short-term liabilities. Though current liabilities declined to $4,139,912 from the year-end 2006 total of $4,601,937, we have been unable to service our debt because of a lack of current assets and cash flows from operations.
Historically, VirTra Systems met capital requirements by acquiring needed equipment under the Ferris non-cancelable leasing arrangements, through capital contributions, loans from principal shareholders and officers, certain private placement offerings, through our previous equity line financing with Duchess Private Equities Fund, L.P., and through our current convertible debenture with Duchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. and Duchess Private Equities Fund II, L.P. We are experiencing difficulty in raising additional capital and have funded our current operation almost exclusively from our operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our net loss is $680,875. After taking into account the non-cash items included in that loss, our operations generated a small positive cash flow of $60,027, although this does not take into consideration cash which we should have paid, but could not.
Our focus in the short term is to maintain and increase our business volume and the resulting cash flows from operations, reduce our outstanding obligations and raise capital to refinance some of our more burdensome debt arrangements.
The opinion of our independent auditor for the year ended December 31, 2006 expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Despite expense reductions that the Company has implemented, VirTra will need substantial additional capital or new lucrative custom application projects with deposits on account to become profitable. Management believes that a continuation of sales growth, purchase order financing to sustain the production and additional sales of common stock will carry the Company through the next twelve months.
Item 3 Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and because of the errors and corrections identified by our auditors with respect to the complex rules for accounting for embedded derivatives which caused our restatements of our financial statements filed on form 10-KSB for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2007 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Additional effort is needed to fully remedy our identified deficiencies as discussed below and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control procedures and processes. Our management intends to continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors, as appropriate, to develop and then apply our controls and procedures with the goal of achieving adequate and effective disclosure controls. We believe that with a properly planned, designed and implemented system of internal controls over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures are expected to become effective.
13
There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the Chief Executive Officer completed his evaluation.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management made an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2007 and identified deficiencies related to expense recognition and disclosure control deficiencies related to embedded derivatives. The adjustment to expense and the footnote disclosure deficiencies were detected by our independent auditors during the review process and are appropriately corrected, recorded and disclosed in this quarterly report on form 10-QSB for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Following a review of these deficiencies, management determined that we had not correctly accounted for the embedded derivatives related to the beneficial conversion feature and warrants associated with our Duchess Private Equities, LLP debenture. As a result, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management concluded that the following two deficiencies were present in our control process as of September 30, 2007:
* | We did not have a systematic and documented program of internal controls and procedures over our accounting and financial reporting process to ensure that unusual or complex transactions are recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. |
* | We do not have adequate supervision and training of our accounting staff. |
Corrective Action
None.
