NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS __________
1. Basis of
Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles 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, 2001. They do not
include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles 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, 2001 included
in the Company’s Form 10-KSB and Form DEF 14A 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.
Effective September 21, 2001,
GameCom, Inc. merged with Ferris Productions, Inc. by issuing 18,072,289 shares
of GameCom common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Ferris. The merger,
which was initiated prior to June 30, 2001, is accounted for as a pooling of
interests in the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements. The pooling of interests method of accounting assumes that GameCom
and Ferris have been merged since their inception and the historical interim
consolidated financial statements for periods prior to consummation of the
merger are restated as though the companies have been combined since their
inception.
Effective April 15, 2002, the
Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s name
to VirTra, Systems, Inc.
2. Notes Payable
to Stockholders
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, the Company borrowed an additional $199,500 from certain
stockholders of the Company and incurred $199,500 of finance charges associated
with the issuance of these new loans.
3. Income
Taxes
The difference between the 34%
federal statutory income tax rate and amounts shown in the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements is primarily attributable to an increase in
the valuation allowance applied against the tax benefit from the future
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.
4. Convertible Debentures
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, the Company issued $450,000 in convertible debentures. The
debentures bear interest at 5% per year payable in cash or registered common
stock at the Company’s option. The debentures mature in September 2005 and
are convertible, at the option of the holder, to shares of the Company’s
common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (i) 85% of
the average of any four of five closing bid prices for the common stock for the
five 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 500,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock with a strike price of $0.7094 per share and
a conversion period of three years. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following assumptions: (1) volatility of 100%, and (2) interest rate of
5%, the value of the warrants were estimated to be $89,400, which was recorded
as interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations. Accordingly,
the actual weighted average interest rate on these debentures, including the
effect of the cost of the beneficial conversion feature of $67,500, is
approximately 15%.
Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
The statements contained in this Report that are not
historical are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our
expectations, intentions, beliefs or strategies regarding the future.
Forward-looking statements include our statements regarding liquidity,
anticipated cash needs, and availability and anticipated expense levels. All
forward-looking statements included in this Report are based on information
available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any
such forward-looking statement. It is important to note that our actual results
could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
Effective May 6, 2002, our name was changed from
“GameCom, Inc.” to “VirTra Systems, Inc.,” pursuant to
authority granted to the board of directors by the shareholders at its
September, 2001 meeting.
Effective September, 2001, we completed the
acquisition of Ferris Industries, Inc., a leading developer and operator of
virtual reality devices. Ferris designed, developed, and distributed
technically-advanced products for the entertainment, simulation, promotion, and
education markets. Its virtual reality (VR) devices are computer-based and allow
people to view and manipulate graphical representations of physical reality. The
acquisition provided us with a wider array of products within our industry, an
experienced management team, an existing revenue stream, and established
distribution channels. Until we acquired Ferris, we had devoted substantially
all of our efforts to implementing our `Net GameLink (TM), product, an
interactive entertainment system designed to allow a number of players to
compete with one another in a game via an intranet or the Internet. We intend to
continue development and deployment of that entertainment system while at the
same time expanding Ferris' business. Post-merger, the anticipated deployment of
our existing virtual reality technology is anticipated to be highly profitable.
The Ferris acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Ferris was much larger than GameCom in terms of assets, and had substantial
revenues whereas GameCom had essentially no revenues at the time of the
acquisition. As a result, the discussion below relates in major part to the
former Ferris operations rather than GameCom's.
Future revenues and
profits will depend upon various factors, including market acceptance of our
two advanced training prototypes currently under production, the success of our
continued sales to the advertising/promotion markets, and on a rebound of
amusement park attendance. Our anticipated entry into the training/simulation
market was advanced by the aftermath of September 11, 2001. We remain in
advanced discussions with representatives of Homeland Security regarding our
technology, and our capabilities in the detection and mitigation of risks; in
fact, we have recently learned that one federal protective agency has budgeted
to buy several of our advanced systems upon the agency's approval of the
applicable prototype. There can be no assurances that these advanced
discussions will be fruitful or that the prototype will be
satisfactory.
We face all of 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. While the Ferris acquisition provided an established
stream of revenues and historically favorable gross margins, Ferris had not yet
generated a profit, and substantial additional capital, or major
highly-profitable custom applications, will be needed if those operations are to
become profitable.
Results
of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to
Three Months Ended September 30, 2001
Two major factors affected our
results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to
the corresponding period of 2001. First, revenues declined. Second, general and
administrative expense also declined.
Revenues from both of our current
virtual reality product lines -- theme parks and arcades and custom applications
-- are somewhat unpredictable. Theme park and arcade revenues are affected by
both the overall traffic at facilities of this type and by the extent to which
we are able to provide new and attractive content to attract more users and
increase repeat business. Custom applications tend to consist of a few large
projects at any time, and the stage of completion of any particular project can
significantly affect revenue. We had revenue of $680,806 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 compared to $941,672 for the corresponding three months
of 2001. Revenue from theme parks and arcades declined primarily because of a
significant national decline in theme park attendance, and because we did not
substantially update the content of our virtual reality systems at these
facilities during 2002. Revenue from custom applications and other sources
increased. The main component of this item is the initial revenue from the
recently announced contract with a Fortune 100 company to produce a promotional
VR project. Cost of sales and services did not decrease in proportion to the
reduced sales because the costs of people required to operate our products at
theme parks and arcades do not change directly in proportion to the number of
visitors. General and administrative costs of $442,690 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to $737,119 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, decreased primarily due to acquisition-related professional
fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Ferris acquisition during
the 2001 quarter, which were not repeated in 2002, and due to post-merger
operational efficiencies.
Interest expense increased to $381,129 for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $362,875 for the corresponding
period of 2001 largely because of additional promissory notes issued to
stockholders.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine
Months Ended September 30, 2001
Three major factors affect our
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to
the corresponding period of 2001.
revenues
declined.
general
and administrative costs decreased.
interest
expense increased.
Revenues from both of our current virtual reality product
lines -- theme parks and arcades and custom applications -- are somewhat
unpredictable. Theme park and arcade revenues are affected by both the overall
traffic at facilities of this type and by the extent to which we are able to
provide new and attractive content to attract more users and increase repeat
business. Custom applications tend to consist of a few large projects at any
time, and the stage of completion of any particular project can significantly
affect revenue. We had revenue of $1,333,373 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 compared to $2,313,790 for the corresponding nine months of 2001.
Revenue from theme parks and arcades declined primarily because
theme
park attendance is down across the country, averaging a 22% decline at the theme
parks where our VR Zones are located,
season
passholder attendance is up significantly, indicating local visitors, who
typically do not spend as much per capita as destination tourists, returning to
their local parks, and
we
did not substantially update the content of our virtual reality systems at these
facilities during 2001.
Revenue from custom applications and other sources also
declined, reflecting the fact that we completed several major projects in the
first two quarters of 2001 and revenues from new projects in this area began
only at the end of the third quarter in 2002. During the third quarter we began
to book a small amount of revenue from our recently announced virtual reality
development contract with a Fortune 100 company. We expect that we will
recognize the remainder of the revenue for that project in the fourth quarter.
Cost of sales and services decreased in proportion to the reduced sales. General
and administrative costs of $1,456,073 for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, compared to $2,010,276 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
decreased primarily due to our efforts to reduce our overhead costs, and because
we incurred professional fees and other costs relating to the acquisition of
Ferris in 2001 and those costs were not repeated in 2002, and because of
post-merger operational efficiencies.
Interest expense increased to
$1,067,584 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $933,710 for
the corresponding period of 2001 largely because we received additional loans
from our shareholders in 2002 and, as an incentive to loan additional funds, we
issued common stock to those shareholders and incurred $199,500 in additional
finance charges in 2002. The decrease in other income of $49,335 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 to $6,872 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 was a result primarily of the sale during the 2001 fiscal period of the
entire future revenue stream from one of our contractual locations for a lump
sum.
Liquidity
and Plan of Operations
As of September 30, 2002 our
liquidity position remained precarious. However our sale of debentures to
Dutchess, described below, has given us some breathing room. As of September 30,
2002 we had current liabilities of $6,551,848, including $2,400,877 in
obligations under the lease financing for our virtual reality systems,
$1,284,525 in accounts payable, and short-term notes payable of $973,396 (plus
related accrued interest ), some of which were either demand indebtedness or
were payable at an earlier date and were in default. As of September 30, 2002
there were only $339,928 in current assets available to meet those liabilities.
We will be able to continue operations only if holders of our short-term notes
and lease obligations continue to forebear enforcement of those
obligations.
On July 12, 2002, we entered
into an agreement with Dutchess Private Equities, L.P., pursuant to which
Dutchess and other investors participated in the private placement of
$450,000.00 in convertible debentures, as well as a private equity line of
$5,000,000.00 over the next two years. Registration of the shares to be issued
under the terms of the agreement was accomplished pursuant to the terms of an
SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2002, and
which became effective on September 2, 2002. Dutchess has fully funded the
debentures.
We may not make any draws
under our equity line with Dutchess, as the price and volume of trading in our
shares may be too low to make that source of financing attractive. To date we
have met our capital requirements by acquiring needed equipment under
non-cancelable leasing arrangements, through capital contributions, loans from
principal shareholders and officers, and certain private placement offerings.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the net loss was $(2,119,949).
Approximately $1,934,637 of the loss was attributable to non-cash charges for
depreciation and amortization, amortization of interest and debt issuance costs,
financing charges on the debentures issued to Dutchess through the issuance of
securities with favorable conversion features, payment in common stock of
financing fees, interest and compensation for services, and increases in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. After taking into account the non-cash
items included in that loss, our cash requirements were approximately $184,400.
To cover these cash requirements and improve our liquidity, we issued $450,000
in principal amount of debentures to Dutchess increased our borrowings from
shareholders by $199,500, and borrowed $35,000 from an unrelated party, applying
$141,068 of the proceeds of these borrowings to payments on notes payable,
$15,000 to payment on one equipment financing lease/promissory note, and $33,172
to repayment of a book overdraft. This left us with cash and cash equivalents of
$335,848 at the end of the period.
The opinion of our independent
auditor for each of the last two fiscal years expressed substantial doubt as to
our ability to continue as a going concern. We will either need substantial
additional capital, or to be successful with lucrative custom application
projects in the promotional/advertising markets, or for our entry into the
training/simulation market to be successful so as to generate profits to fund
the company. We may need additional financing in order to carry out our
expansion plans. Based upon our anticipated increase in the stock's trading
volume following our entry into the training/simulation market, management
believes that the Dutchess financing will allow us to continue our operations
for at least the next 12 months, provided holders of our short-term notes and
equipment lease obligations continue to give us the breathing room necessary for
our new applications to make significant contributions to revenue.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation
performed within 90 days of this report, our CEO and CFO has concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material
information relating to our company is made known to management, including the
CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being
prepared, and that our internal controls are effective to provide reasonable
assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
In accord with SEC
requirements, the CEO and CFO notes that, since the date of his evaluation to
the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no significant changes in
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
