VIRTRA SYSTEMS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying un-audited 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/A2, 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, negative cash flows from operations 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 June 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 embedded derivative liability.
Stock-based compensation
Virtra records as compensation expense the fair value of shares and options as calculated pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123R"), recognized over the related requisite service period. Virtra accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services". For accounting purposes, the value of common stock issued to non-employees and consultants is determined based on the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever value it more reliably measurable. Virtra utilizes a standard option pricing model, the Black-Scholes model, to measure the fair value of stock options and warrants granted.
Note 4. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 5. 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.
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.
As of and for the six month period ended June 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:
Balance Sheet Effect | |
Principal balance on debentures payable | 470,117 |
Unamortized discount | (148,590) |

Net amount | 321,527 |
Accrued interest on debentures | 525,097 |
Total balance sheet effect of debentures payable | 846,624 |
Statement of Operations Effect | |
Interest expense | 28,858 |
Gain on embedded derivative liability | 783 |
Total Statement of Operations Effect | 29,641 |
Note 6. 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 ability to attract and retain the services of qualified persons. Warrants are periodically issued in connection with financing arrangements. There were no stock options or warrants granted, expired or exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
In October of 2005 the Company registered the sale by Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, L.P. 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 Dutchess, as it was required to do under its contract, that the prospectus could no longer be used. As a result, sales made by Dutchess 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, Dutchess 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 Dutchess to indemnify Dutchess 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 Dutchess 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 Dutchess as a result or to become totally valueless, the Company would owe Dutchess $254,977 as a result of the rescission. As of June 30, 2007, we are unaware of any claims presented to Dutchess under this provision of our agreement with them. Any remaining contingency will expire one year from the last sale by Duchess of our shares, which will occur on October 20, 2007.
The Company has approximately $900,000 accrued for various payroll tax liabilities. In May 2006, the Company received notices from the IRS of tax liens that have been filed related to these accrued amounts, and in April, 2007 the Company received further notices of intent to levy by the Internal Revenue Service.
In February, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with Charter Capital Partners, LLC to repay $184,100 in amounts that had been advanced by other companies during the course of 2006. As of April 30, 2007 the Company was in default on this note to the extent of approximately $107,000.
In the first quarter of 2006, a judgment was entered against the Company in a lawsuit brought on by one of the leaseholders, Edward Slagle. As part of the agreement, the plaintiff agreed to wait one year for payment. The Company has not yet been able to pay, and in February, 2007 the Company received notice from the plaintiffs
9
lawyer that the plaintiff intends to enforce the judgment. The amount owed is approximately $90,000 and has been accrued for in the financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2007, a previously accrued lawsuit was settled for 5,000,000 share of common stock, the value of these shares based upon the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of the agreement was $225,000. The Company has previously accrued approximately $498,000 for this litigation resulting in a gain during the six month period needed June 30, 2007 of approximately $273,000.
Guarantees
On September 19, 2006, we entered into a factoring arrangement intended to provide additional working capital through factoring of our accounts receivable. At the time, we were moving toward a merger with VirTra Merger Corporation, separate company that had been formed to acquire Chrysalis Manufacturing Corporation, (a/k/a Altatron EMS) and another company. Upon consummation of those acquisitions, VMC was to be acquired by VirTra Systems, Inc.
The lender did not regard either VirTra Systems, Inc. or VMC as sufficiently creditworthy to grant a credit line without guarantees. As a result, we entered into an arrangement whereby CapNet Securities Corporation would be the borrower under the factoring arrangement, would secure its borrowings by accounts receivable of VirTra Systems and VMC, and would relend the borrowed funds to us and to VMC. We, VMC and Daniel L. Ritz, Jr., , a principal of CapNet, jointly and severally guaranteed payment of amounts drawn under the credit arrangement up to $1,000,000.
We borrowed $100,000 under the arrangement described above, an amount which is still outstanding. We understand that VMC and/or another company associated with CapNet borrowed additional amounts under the arrangement, and that the total amount due the lender currently stands at approximately $500,000.
The expected merger with VMC did not occur. We do not intend to borrow any more money from Charter Capital/CapNet under the arrangement and VMC (now known as ComCon Manufacturing Services, Inc.) informs us that they also do not intend to borrow additional amounts under the arrangement. Charter Capital has been notified that the parties intend to discontinue the facility altogether.
Charter Capital has agreed in principle to a modification which would limit the amount of our guaranty to $200,000.
In addition to the $100,000 borrowed by the company under this arrangement, we also have unsecured advances $96,650 from other companies largely owned and/or controlled by Daniel L. Ritz, Jr. No further payments will be made on those advances until we have been released from our guaranty to Charter Capital.
On February 28, 2007 VirTra Systems, Inc. formalized the credit arrangement directly with Charter Capital for repayment over 90 days, at which time the company will be unconditionally released from the guarantee. Subsequent to June 30, 2007 the Company was allowed to change their payment terms under this agreement and at June 30, 2007 has a balance of approximately $54,000.
Note 8. Common Stock Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we issued the following shares:
We issued 3,000,000 share s for services that were previously recorded and accrued during the calendar year ended December 31, 2006.
We issued 1,875,000 shares for cash as part of a private placement resulting in cash proceeds of $81,250.
10
We issued 650,000 shares for services valued at $46,651 based upon the closing price of the Companys stock at the measurement date.
We issued 969,725 shares in connection with the forced conversion of accrued penalties associated with a debenture holder. These shares are valued at their fair market value of $33,941 in these financial statements. Of this amount $6,788 is included in general and administrative expenses and $27,152 was recorded as a retirement of a previously-accrued interest cost.
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 their fair market values of $175,724.
Note 9. Accrued Liabilities
At June 30, 2007 we had $2,147,084 in accrued liabilities. The major items included in this amount are: accrued compensation to officers and directors of $249,153; accrued tax liens from the internal revenue service of $891,822; an accrual of $251,293 for the judgment against us in the Edward and Linda Strickland v. VirTra Systems, Inc. case and unpaid interest of $515,695 on the convertible debentures issued in 2005.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
On August 20, 2007, we amended our reports on forms 10-KSB for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. We amended our reports to restate our financial statements after having identified certain accounting errors related to the recording of our debt arrangements.
Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes thereto included in this quarterly report and in our audited consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") contained in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain statements in the following MD&A are forward looking statements.

Business Overview
11
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 June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our revenues increased to $605,198, a 158% increase over the $234,254 we posted for the same period in 2006. This is principally due to the total number of active jobs open and in progress during those periods as the Company continues with its marketing efforts. Our net loss for this period increase 30% to $362,487, principally due to the increased amortization rate of our discount on the debentures payable and continued costs associated with legal and other professional fees.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Our revenues of $844,584 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 represent a slight increase over the $792,906 that reported for the same period in 2006. Our general and administrative expenses of $1,054,226 are only slightly higher than the $868,679 reported for the same period last year after adjusting for bad debts incurred in the first quarter of this year and the significant legal and professional fees that we have incurred
Liquidity and Plan of Operation
As of June 30, 2007, we remain extremely illiquid because of our short-term liabilities. Our working capital deficit increased by approximately $55,000 from December 31, 2006 to $4,158,938. This significant deficit is due primarily to our note payable, debenture payable, and accrued liabilities offset by relatively few current assets.
12
We had negative cash flows from operating activities of $211,365 due primarily to our continued operating deficit. Our financing activities provided $161,593 due primarily from borrowings on notes payable and sales of common stock. This generation of cash from financing is consistent with the six month period ended June 30, 2006 in which we generated $159,942, again primarily from borrowing on notes payable and sales of common stock.
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 Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P., and through our current convertible debenture with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, L.P. and Dutchess Private Equities Fund II, L.P.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our net loss was $657,106. After taking into account the non-cash items included in that loss, our cash requirements for operations were $207,272 The predominant source of cash to cover the operating deficit was the sale of approximately $81,000 in a private placement of restricted common stock and borrowings on notes payable of approximately $107,000.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $891,823 accrued for various payroll tax liabilities for prior periods. After the Companys offer in compromise with the Internal Revenue Service that was rejected as deficient last year, VirTra received notice from the IRS of tax liens that had been filed that relate to these accrued amounts. The Company later negotiated a 120-day stand still agreement in November, 2006. That agreement expired before Virtra could pay the amounts due and in March, 2007, the Company received new notices of intent to levy. The Company has engaged another law firm to negotiate a resolution with the Internal Revenue Service.
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.
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
13
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 embedded derivative liability.
Stock-based compensation
Virtra records as compensation expense the fair value of shares and options as calculated pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123R"), recognized over the related requisite service period. Virtra accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and EITF No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services". For accounting purposes, the value of common stock issued to non-employees and consultants is determined based on the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever value it more reliably measurable. Virtra utilizes a standard option pricing model, the Black-Scholes model, to measure the fair value of stock options and warrants granted.
Item 3 Controls and Procedures
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, the companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the date of that evaluation. This conclusion was reached principally due to the restatements to reports 10-KSB for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Management is currently undertaking to implement an effective system of controls and procedures.
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 and Acting Chief Financial Officer completed their evaluation.
