Part I
STATEMENT REGARDING THIS AMENDMENT
We are amending our Annual Report on Form 10KSB/A to restate our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the related disclosures. We have identified certain accounting errors related to the
recording of our debt arrangements. We have performed an analysis of our existing debt agreements and have concluded that we incorrectly recorded our debt obligations and associated warrants as a beneficial conversion feature pursuant to EITF 98-5. Our analysis determined that the warrants associated with our convertible notes payable are derivatives as defined under SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19. We also did not appropriately account for financing costs incurred as a direct result of these debt arrangements.
During February 2005 and August 2005 the Company issued $750,000 and $500,000, respectively, in convertible debentures. These debentures contained conversion features that were based upon market value and outside of the control of the Company, as a result the Company has accounted for the convertible debt and associated warrants as derivative instrument liabilities. Additionally, the embedded conversion features of the debentures have been bifurcated from the debt and accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities. We have amended Note 11 to disclose the derivative instrument liabilities and provide information on subsequent changes.
We are required to record the fair value of the conversion features and the warrants on our balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the statement of operations as "Gain/(loss) on derivative liability." Morevover, we amortize the value attributed to the conversion features as interest expense. The effect of the (non-cash) changes related to accounting separately for these derivative instrument liabilities and amortization on our statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was a decrease of $169,650 in our net loss attributable to common shareholders, for a restated net loss of $1,303,857. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the effect was a decrease in our net loss attributable of common shareholders of $326,786, for a restated net loss of $1,668,270. Basic loss attributable to common shareholders per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was not materially affected by the restatements. The cumulative effect on our balance sheet was to increase total current liabilities by $209,082 and $378,732 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and to reduce shareholders deficit by the same amount as of those dates.
In all other material respects, this Amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A-2 is unchanged from the Amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A-1 previously filed by us on May 23, 2007. This Amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB-2 does not attempt to modify or update any other disclosures set forth in the Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSB/A-1 previously filed or discuss any other developments after the respective dates of those filings except to reflect the effects of the restatements described above, certain risk factor disclosure and except as otherwise specifically identified herein.
Item 1. Description of Business
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).
Since September, 2001 when Ferris Production, Inc. merged with GamCom, Inc. to ultimately become VirTra Systems, Inc., we have directed our efforts away from the historical areas of application in the entertainment/amusement arenas of business and toward the immersive virtual realityTM line of products that are computer based and that allow participants to experience, 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
2
real world, play is made far more realistic than it would be if merely presented in a two-dimensional flat screen display. Our emphasis is on the advertising/promotion, and training/simulation markets.
In 2003, we made the strategic decision to take our 360-degree core technology from headset-based systems to larger, more complex projection-based systems.
We currently manufacture, market, and sell our immersive virtual reality products in two distinct markets: training/simulation and advertising/promotion. Within the training and simulation market, we offer two different versions of our patent-pending IVR™ 360-degree high-definition firearms training simulators: the IVR HD™, launched in March of 2004, for use in marksmanship, conflict resolution, and situational awareness training of law enforcement and security officers, and the IVR 4G™, launched in December of 2004, for use in military firearms/marksmanship training, situational awareness, and “fourth-generation” squad-based training.
Within the advertising/promotion market, we market the patented Immersa-Dome® personal immersive virtual reality theater, featuring the sensations of sight, sound, touch, and smell, and our 3-D multisensory theater, a product offering customized three-dimensional projected content in high-definition, with multisensory effects, for multiple viewers.
We maintain our corporate office at 2500 City West Blvd., Suite 300, Houston, Texas 76042, 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) 960-1488.
Entertainment/Amusement
The entertainment/amusement market was the original market for our products. Our “immersive virtual reality™” devices were designed to produce a highly-realistic experience at a significantly lower cost than traditional virtual reality technology. Within the entertainment/amusement market, we installed and operated virtual reality entertainment centers known as VR Zones in over a dozen theme parks and high-traffic visitor locations, such as:
·
Six Flags,
·
Paramount Parks,
·
Busch Gardens, and
·
Carnival Cruise Lines.
These VR Zones were equipped with systems we developed and manufactured, and were operated by our employees on a revenue-share basis with the theme park locations. We sold our VR Zones and effectively left this market in the spring of 2003, in order to more fully focus on the advertising/promotional and training/simulation markets.
Advertising/Promotion
We entered the advertising/promotion market, our second, with our 2000 “Drive With Confidence Tour™” for Buick, featuring a virtual reality “test-drive” of a Buick LeSabre with PGA professional Ben Crenshaw accompanying the participant. This project led us to additional projects within this market, such as:
·
a virtual reality bi-plane experience for Red Baron® Pizza,
·
a virtual reality ski jump promotional program for Chevrolet in conjunction with its Olympic Torch City Celebration Tour™,”
·
an interactive promotional project for Shell Oil Product’s Pennzoil® division’s “Vroom Tour™”, which featured Jay Leno “inside” an automobile engine demonstrating how oil functions inside an automobile engine, and ended with the visitor driving Pennzoil’s Formula One car around the Las Vegas Motor Speedway at speeds in excess of 220 miles per hour,
·
a 50-seat, 3-D immersive theater for Red Baron® Pizza’s “3-D Flying Adventure™,” which featured special glasses, Dolby® 5.1 sound, and special effects that literally jump off the screen,
3
·
a virtual reality recruitment tool for the United States Army, in which participants ride in an Army Black Hawk helicopter performing an exciting rescue mission, and
·
a 3-D immersive theater project for Sea-Doo®, using our 3-D technology for 2-D to 3-D video conversion and 3-D computer animation, for 1) a motion simulator utilizing polarized glasses, 2) a theater-style presentation utilizing anaglyph (cyan-blue) glasses, and 3) a web-suitable version utilizing 3-D anaglyph glasses, all in connection with Bombardier's launch of its new 2004 Sea-Doo® 3D™ personal watercraft.
We made a strategic move from headset-based to projection-based technology in 2004, evidenced by the development and launch of our patented Immersa-Dome®, featuring a domed-shaped screen which surrounds the seated viewer and delivers a high-definition resolution virtual reality experience.
The May 3, 2004, launch of the Immersa-Dome product was rapidly followed by several new projects:
·
a mobile promotional experience for Buick's new Terraza™ and LaCrosse™ vehicles, using four Immersa-Dome units installed in two of Buick's event-marketing trailers. This was our second collaboration with Buick's event marketing agency, Momentum Detroit,
·
a sale of three Immersa-Domes to the United States Army Recruiting Command in Fort Knox, Kentucky, for installation in mobile recruiting trailers traveling the United States to major events, high schools, and universities in connection with the Army's recruiting efforts,
·
the installation of three Immersa-Domes at the new Red Baron® Museum in Marshall, Minnesota, providing the visual experience of flying an acrobatic bi-plane with the Red Baron® Pizza Squadron™ in an 180-degree multisensory experience.
2005 advertising/promotion projects included projects for both new and returning customers. In addition, 2005 witnessed a new custom project that adapted our IVR™ product for use in the treatment of patients, and training of clinicians, for speech disorders. This speech disorder project represented the application of our immersive virtual reality technology into a new market medical treatment and training.
Returning customers during 2005 requested license renewals and/or upgrades of previous projects, including:
·
the Schwan Food Companys renewal and upgrade of both its promotions for the Red Baron Pizza Squadron's 2005 air show season; renewal of the Red Baron Flight Club™ virtual reality experience, and integration of the Red Baron brand's 3-D Flying Adventure™, a 3-D multisensory theater promotion, inside of a new, standard 18-wheel trailer, and
·
Buick renewed and upgraded its Immersa-Dome® promotional experience for the 2006 Lucerne™ luxury sedan ,with new high-definition content featuring professional golfer Tiger Woods promoting Buick's new Lucerne automobile, which was installed into two themed trailers traveling throughout North America, stopping at Buick special events and selected PGA Tour events.
In addition, two new projects were received in 2005:
·
An Immersa-Dome® promotional tour for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals trade show activities, featuring three specially themed Immersa-Domes delivering customized promotional content describing newly-developed drugs, and
·
the sale of a specially-modified IVR 180 to Case Western Reserve Universitys speech pathology department, for researching the efficacy of virtual reality to treat patients for, and educate clinicians in, diagnoses of speech disorders.
In 2006, the Case Western Reserve University project has shown enormous success and as data is being gathered and analyzed more opportunities there appear possible, as well as expansion of the technology beyond this customer to others.
A civilian contractor for the United States Navy awarded us a significant job in 2006. For the Navy recruiting efforts, they acquired several of the companys Immersa-domes with indications of further orders in the future. We
4
also enjoyed work from a third-party producer of customer 3-D hardware and content to their own high profile advertising clients.
Training/Simulation
Since introducing our IVR™ line of projection-based training simulators for judgmental use-of-force, situational awareness, combat-readiness, and tactical judgment objectives three years ago, we have advanced upon the technology and refined the applications.
The two IVR product lines provide the law enforcement, military, and security markets with 360-degree immersive training environments. Our IVR HD™ series, designed primarily for law enforcement objectives, was completed in January of 2004. Our military-oriented IVR 4G™ system, designed to train soldiers for “fourth generation” warfare, was debuted at the industry-leading I/ITSEC trade show in Orlando, Florida in December of that year. Fourth generation warfare, is characterized by transnational groups without territorially-based armies, engaging in highly irregular practices such as guerilla warfare, terrorist tactics, and low-intensity, close quarter conflict, enabling groups that are weaker militarily to defeat larger, stronger forces. Fourth-generation battlefields may include the whole of the enemy's society, where small, well-trained, highly maneuverable forces may tend to dominate.
In 2005, the installation base of our IVR HD and IVR 4G models grew both internationally and domestically, as we gained new military and law enforcement customers. We sold or installed IVR HD law enforcement simulators to law enforcement agencies in Washington County, Utah; Manistee, Michigan; Duluth, Georgia; and Charleston, South Carolina. In addition, our IVR 4G military version simulators were sold or installed, both domestically and abroad, at MacDill AFB, Florida: Fort Hood, Texas; and at two Mexican locations. We announced our initial sale in this market in September of 2003, and, as of March 15, 2006, we had sold to
·
all of the armed services of the United States except the Coast Guard,
·
a classified Department of Defense customer,
·
the United States Marshall Service,
·
the Department of Homeland Security,
·
several domestic law enforcement agencies, and
·
state police and security organizations in Mexico.
Our initial IVR series installation was accomplished in March of 2004 and we have follow up work there underway. Several serious inquiries from new customers, more than ever before, are being reviewed at year end
Virtual Reality Products
Our “immersive virtual reality™” products include:
Training/Simulation Products
The IVR HD™ and IVR 4G™ series, designed for law enforcement and military use, respectively, are projection-based, multi-screened, high-definition resolution, combat-readiness and judgmental use-of-force firearms training simulators. The IVR™ series simulators use company-produced high-definition filmed content as well as our Hybrid-CGI™ content. Our Hybrid-CGI software combines film content with computer-generated images, allowing users to create their own customized 360-degree training scenarios by combining “green-screen” video, panoramic photorealistic images, computer-generated images, and 3-D sound. Green-screen filming is the technique of filming actors and other visual elements in the foreground against an evenly-colored green background, and subsequently extracting the actors and other visual elements and placing them onto a new panoramic background specifically suited to the users needs and locale.
The IVR systems use off-the-shelf computer equipment, extremely-accurate laser-based weapons tracking, 360-degree video and audio, and ultra-high resolution interactive graphics. The systems deliver both photorealistic and computer-generated imagery -based video for training scenarios. The systems support one to six users, and have the option to be reconfigured into a 20-lane, military-approved, virtual shooting range for realistic marksmanship training.
Trainees step into the simulator, and then interact with a training scenario selected by the instructor, using their weapon of choice. The training scenarios teach combat-readiness, situational awareness, fourth-generation warfare
5
tactics, and judgmental use-of-force with both lethal and non-lethal weapons currently used by military, law enforcement, and security agencies.
The IVR 4G military series of simulator products are offered in four different configurations:
·
the IVR 4G-base™ is a single-screen model, and its compact size offers portability and supports one to four trainees.
·
the IVR 4G-180™ offers an 180-degree field-of-view for more realistic combat training and marksmanship. It supports one to four trainees.
·
the IVR 4G-300™ delivers 300-degree field-of-view for more realistic combat scenarios and marksmanship training, and supports one to five trainees.
·
the IVR 4G-360™ offers a 360-degree field-of-view for combat and marksmanship training, and supports one to six trainees.
The IVR HD law enforcement series is offered in four different configurations:
·
the IVR HD-base™ is a single-screen model, offering portability, and supports one to four trainees.
·
the IVR HD-180™ offers an 180-degree field-of-view for more realistic training and target tracking. It supports one to four trainees.
·
the IVR HD-300™ delivers 300-degree use-of-force scenarios, and supports one to five trainees.
·
the IVR-360™ HD offers 360-degree firearms training, and supports one to six trainees.
We also have developed and market proprietary training accessories for use with both our IVR product lines, as well as those manufactured by third-parties:
·
the wireless Threat-Fire™ belt permits the simulator's instructor to deliver an electric "stun" to the trainee, simulating the sensation of being shot, thus enhancing the multi-directional experience of our IVR simulators by increasing the seriousness and stress of training scenarios.
·
our Hybrid-CGI™ scenario creation software integrates "green-screen" video, panoramic photorealistic images, computer-generated images, and 3-D sound, decreasing both cost and time of scenario production. Our Hybrid-CGI software offers the end-user more custom scenario options than traditional scenario production methods and other forms of training software.
·
a wireless/tetherless drop-in recoil conversion kit, which transforms a live weapon into an accurate and safe training weapon. It features 1) a laser-based tracking mechanism, 2) self-contained, tetherless pneumatic recoil, and 3) instructor-controlled weapon malfunction capability to simulate a jammed weapon in the field. The system provides no possibility of chambering a live bullet while in training mode.
·
laser-based pneumatic recoil conversion kits for most military and law enforcement handguns, assault rifles, and shotguns.
·
less-lethal, laser-based training tools, including Taser® and canister OC pepper spray.
·
TMaR (Trainee Monitor and Recording) debriefing product, which records and plays back the trainees actions in the simulator, allowing systematic review of the trainees performance.
·
wireless/tetherless handgun training conversion drop-in recoil kits, which transform a handgun into a safe training weapon, allowing modification of a trainee's sidearm for training in our IVR simulators.
Advertising/Promotional Products
·
the Immersa-Dome® is a patented projection-based virtual reality system, which uses a domed-shaped screen to surround the viewer. The Immersa-Dome offers photorealistic environments with 180-degree field-of-view and high-definition resolution. The system is composed of the dome’s base, the viewer’s seat, and a separate projector/mirror stand.
6
·
the 3-D Multisensory Theater™ is a portable-seat, high-capacity (50-100 viewers) 3-D theater with special effects packages, including fog, wind, and simulated lighting, among others. This theater system features 3-D, high-resolution imagery on a large projected screen. Participants wear polarized glasses, which facilitate 3-D depth in the screen images. This system also features time-triggered smells, wind simulation, and a Dolby® 5.1 sound system. The 3-D Multisensory Theater uses a silver screen and two projectors. Three-dimensional filming techniques are used and processed to finalize the 3-D experience. Computer-generated 3-D imagery is an alternative development method to 3-D filming.
·
the 360-degree headset-based virtual reality system delivers photorealistic content. In addition, the user, while seated, is tracked in 360 degrees. The multisensory system incorporates off-the-shelf computer equipment, gyroscopic head-tracking, stereo sound, wind simulation, and smell. The system comes standard for one user.
Competition
Competition within each of our markets is intense.
There are several large competitors in the general field of high-tech simulation. For instance, the January 7, 2002 edition of Forbes magazine contains a feature story on L3 Communications, Inc., a company purportedly doing in excess of $5 billion in business with the United States government in this market. L3 has so far focused on other types of simulators (such as aircraft motion simulators) and to-date we have never directly competed against L3, and may never compete with them regarding our IVR simulators. Other companies have made essentially the same single-screen style simulator for the past 15 years or longer.
As our virtual reality experiences are usually custom applications, and we deal primarily with advertising agencies, or directly with the client, it is difficult to quantify the competition. Sometimes companies are able to penetrate one or two particular high-tech promotions. With over 13 years in the marketplace, we currently are not aware of any other virtual reality-based advertising/promotion company with products similar to ours.
Some general competitors within the virtual reality industry that promote substitute and similar technologies are as follows:
·
Advanced Interactive Systems, Inc. (AIS)--has been a provider of interactive simulation systems designed to provide training for law enforcement, military, and security agencies since 1993. Its line of products uses primarily video production in judgmental training scenarios. AIS also markets to anti-terrorist and other special application training facilities for military and special operations groups. Its systems have historically used only single screen technology.
·
Cubic Defense Applicationsperforming in a wide range of industries, including military simulation, Cubic currently produces a product (EST-2000) which was developed several years ago as mainly a marksmanship training system, with limited immersive combat training capabilities. Due to its size and corporate strength, Cubic could become a formidable competitor if it chose to focus on firearms training.
·
Firearms Training Systems, Inc. (FATS)--claims to have over 4,000 training systems installed worldwide by military, law enforcement, and commercial customers. FATS is a full service training/simulation company that also uses video scenarios with single-screen technology. FATS also produces other types of simulators and recoil weapons. AIS, Cubic and FATS products are similar in many respects, although FATS has been in the market longer.
·
IES Interactive Training, Inc. (IES)--a supplier of basic simulation equipment to law enforcement. Having fielded several hundred single screen systems in the law enforcement marketplace, it is mainly focused on the law enforcement marketplace.
·
Straylight--has focused on the use of virtual reality in the promotions and conventions market. .
Our recent patent applications may hamper or halt potential plans by our competitors to enter the multi-screen simulator industry to compete with our IVR simulator.
7
The above summaries of competition are by no means exhaustive, since these industries are fluid and, at times, rapidly expanding.
Marketing
Marketing within the training/simulation market is conducted primarily through trade shows, trade journal advertisements, search engine strategies, and one-on-one demonstrations. We recently completed and publicly unveiled the IVR HD™ series of law enforcement-focused advanced training simulators at the Trexpo West trade show in March of 2004, and we publicly unveiled the military-oriented IVR 4G™ fourth generation warfare simulators at the I/ITSEC trade show in December of 2004. We have demonstrated the IVR simulators to high-level officers in the United States military, the Department of Defense, as well as to municipal, state, and federal agencies both domestically and internationally.
Marketing within the advertising/promotional market is conducted primarily by web-based search engine strategies and by the face-to-face sales efforts of our vice-president of advertising and promotion. Our Immersa-Dome demonstration unit uses high-definition content from our projects for Pennzoil, Buick, Red Baron® Pizza, Chevrolet, and the U.S. Army. Marketing within this industry is conducted primarily by one-on-one appointments and demonstrations of our technology to agencies and qualified corporations. We also attend industry tradeshows to generate leads and to garner further market exposure.
With each additional sale, we have one more customer upon whom we can depend upon for a referral. The more systems that we get into circulation, the less difficult it is to demonstrate to a prospective customer that we have a viable product.
Employees
At December 31, 2006, we employed 16 people. None of our employees are members of a union, and we consider relations with our employees to be satisfactory.
Trademarks/Patents
We have obtained a patent for our Universe Control Board™, and various federal trademarks. We have also filed for federal registration of our “Immersive Virtual Reality™” and “IVR™” trademarks.
On December 20, 2005, we successfully registered our claim on the trademark Immersa-Dome® from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
On March 15, 2004, we applied for a patent on our IVR™ series of advanced training simulators, seeking a patent for our “multiple screen simulation system and method for situational response training.”
On May 3, 2004, we announced that we had obtained an exclusive license to the patented technology behind the Immersa-Dome.
On December 3, 2004, in advance of industry demonstration at the industry-leading Interservice/Industry Training and Simulation Education Conference in Orlando, Florida, we submitted three separate provisional patent applications for innovations in the field of firearms training. These included: 1) the Threat-Fire™ Belt, 2) our Hybrid-CGI™ software, and 3) a "drop-in" kit and magazine for wireless recoil in real weapons.
First, the Threat-Fire Belt permits the simulator's instructor to deliver an electric "stun" to the trainee, simulating the sensation of being shot, thus enhancing the multi-directional experience associated with our IVR simulators.
Second, the Hybrid-CGI software integrates "green-screen" video, panoramic images, computer-generated images, and 3-D sound. Green-screen filming is the technique of filming actors and other visual elements in the foreground against an evenly-colored green background, and subsequently extracting the actors and other visual elements and placing them onto a new panoramic background specifically suited to the users needs and locale. Hybrid-CGI software decreases both cost and time of scenario production, and provides more scenario options to the end user than traditional production methods.
Third, the "drop-in" kit and magazine is non-permanent, and delivers wireless recoil to a real weapon. The magazine is refillable, and the aiming laser features hyper-accurate collinear placement for both immersive combat
8
training and marksmanship qualification. Use of un-tethered training weaponry is highly desirable in firearms simulators.
On November 22, 2005, the provisional patent applications filed in 2004 for the Threat-Fire™ belt and Hybrid-CGI™ software were upgraded to full patent applications, submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and are currently awaiting patent office action.
In December of 2005, we decided to not proceed with a full patent application of the provisional application originally filed on December 3, 2004, relating to the "drop-in" kit and magazine recoil design, due to significant design improvements incorporated since the preparation of the original provisional patent application.
There can be no assurance that patents or trademarks will issue on these applications, or that, if issued, they will be sufficiently broad to provide meaningful protection.
Item 2. Description of Property
Our executive offices are located in Houston, Texas, in leased space at 2500 City West Blvd. Our monthly rent is $2,300. There is no assurance that these offices will remain sufficient for our use indefinitely. We have no plans for expanding leased administrative space in 2007.
Our production offices are located in Tempe, Arizona, in leased space that costs $7,611 per month. In September of 2006, we sold the office building owned by Ferris Holdings, L.L.C. See Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. Ferris Holdings has charged us $7,772.00 per month for our office space since August of 2000. We had a 25 1/2-year lease with Ferris Holdings that has been canceled without penalty. From the proceeds of the building sale, we retired a significant amount of debt.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On May 13, 2004, suit was filed against us in the federal district court of South Carolina, in cause number 04CP402455, styled Garland and Leota Slagle v. VirTra Systems, Inc., seeking payment of the principal sum of $90,000, plus accrued interest, in equipment leases allegedly entered into by the Slagles with the former Ferris Productions, Inc. in 2001. We have contested the allegations. In May of 2006, judgment was awarded to the plaintiff in the amount of $116,005. At present this liability remains unpaid and is accruing interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
On December 30, 2004, suit was filed against us in the federal district court of North Carolina, in cause number 4:04-CV-199-H2, styled Edward and Linda Strickland v. VirTra Systems, Inc., seeking payment in the principal sum of $72,000, plus accrued interest, in equipment leases allegedly entered into by Mr. Strickland with the former Ferris Productions, Inc. 2001. We contested the allegations. In February of 2006, we entered into an agreed judgment in the amount of $85,000, with a contractual provision in the judgment that there would be no collection activity on the judgment prior to February of 2007. On March 12, 2007 we received notice from counsel for the plaintiffs that they will within 30 days begin post-judgment discovery. The company believes that adequate accruals have been made on the books.
On August 28, 2006, Virtra Systems received notice from Jones & Cannon, P.C. of Arlington, Texas, notifying the company of a lawsuit filed in the 352nd Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas for fees and other charges that Jones & Cannon alleges are owed to it, in the amount of $508,362.55. The suit is for fees and charges Jones & Cannon claims to have accrued during the time that Kelly Jones, its lead partner, served as CEO of Virtra Systems, Inc. The current management and board of directors disagree with the merits of this case and have contested the matter vigorously. On January 15, 2007 both parties agreed to a settlement of the claim.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements. The following discussion regarding our financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to those financial statements.
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. In September of 2001, Ferris merged into GameCom, Inc., a publicly held Texas company whose principal
10
business at the time was the development and marketing of an internet-enabled video game system. We subsequently adopted our present name.
Prior to the merger of Ferris and GameCom, both companies had incurred substantial debt, much of which was eliminated in December of 2004 in a debt for equity conversion. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to successfully implement our expansion plans. As we enter the training/simulation market, we face all of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the expansion and development of a new 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
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.
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 total estimated costs for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs, and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for our stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We provide disclosure in accordance with the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method as defined. Under the modified prospective method we will record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion as of January 1, 2006, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or
foreign currency risks.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at it fair value and is then re−valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option−based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black−Scholes model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each
reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non−current based on whether or not net−cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Results of Operations
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,887,768, 93% above 2005 revenues of $977,358. Both the training/simulation and advertising/promotion sectors showed healthy growth.
2006 | 2005 | % | |
Training/Simulation | $ 1,279,654 | $ 714,435 | 79.1 |
Advertising/Promotion | $ 545,216 | $ 167,969 | 224.5 |
Cost of sales and services rose only $65,946, or less than 10%, to $729,322, for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $663,376 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Component costs of the finished products were reduced through modifications to the software and optics employed in the IVR products.
General and administrative grew $670,106 to $2,807,575, or 31.3%. During 2006, the companys stock price significantly declined. We repay the principal amount on our convertible debentures by issuing stock to the lender. The lower stock price resulted in far more shares being converted in order to reduce the principal, with the result being that the company exhausted its authorized capital. Although we were successful in obtaining a vote of the shareholders to increase the authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares, there was nonetheless a period whereby we could not fulfill our contractual conversion commitments. Penalties from the lender totaled $601,239.
Other income and expense grew to $175,622 from a loss of $401,569 in 2005. The most significant changes from the prior year were in interest expenses and a gain on the sale of real estate. Our interest expense and finance charges fell to $708,656 from $1,321,211 in the prior year. Not only had we reduced the principal amount of our convertible debentures measurably (before the authorized capital was exhausted), the sale of the companys office building in Phoenix, AZ resulted in a gain of $521,305. Virtra Systems also recorded a $212,782 gain on the forgiveness of debt income from the real estate sale, although we had a gain in the prior year of $516,220 from the exchange of certain notes payable and obligations under product financing agreements.
Liquidity and Plan of Operations
As of December 31, 2006, our liquidity position was extremely precarious. We had current liabilities of $4,601,937, including $454,980 in obligations remaining under the lease financing for the old Ferris Productions virtual reality systems, $3,233,438 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term notes payable of $133,145. As of December 31, 2006, there was only $498,005 in current assets available to meet those liabilities.
We met our 2006 capital requirements primarily from private placement offerings of equity. During the year we sold 17,454,541 shares of common stock, and another 9,690,138 were issued upon conversion of our debentures.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, our net loss was $1,303,857. After taking into account the non-cash items included in that loss, our cash requirements for operations were approximately $1,100,000. In addition, we made capital expenditures of $11,865, and repaid notes and certain advances in the amount of $1,027,898. To cover these cash requirements, we issued common stock for net cash proceeds of $704,784 and sold real estate for $1,210,430.
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. Although our revenues have begun to grow consistently and we approach a break-even point in terms of profitability, we will need substantial additional capital in order to build new systems and reduce our debt load. During 2005 we completed two private placements with Dutchess for $1,250,000 in convertible debentures and management believed that this equity line would allow us to continue our operations for at least the next 12 months and it did. During 2006, we did not borrow any more money except for comparatively minor working capital needs. All financings needed were funded through the sale of equity. During the year we also took bona fide steps to address the tax deficiency to the Internal Revenue Service.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
VirTra Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of VirTra Systems, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operation, stockholders deficit and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VirTra Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and at December 31, 2006 is in a negative working capital position and a stockholders deficit position. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 to correct errors in its accounting for convertible notes payable and related warrants to purchase common stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Background
GameCom, Inc. (GameCom), a Texas corporation, was founded in 1996. Effective September 21, 2001 GameCom merged with Ferris Productions, Inc. (Ferris) (together the Company) and the Company changed its name to VirTra Systems, Inc. (VirTra). The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with a production facility located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company develops, manufactures and operates technically advanced personal computer and non-personal computer based products including virtual reality (VR) products for the training/simulation and advertising/promotion markets.
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.
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 total estimated costs for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs 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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash in well known banks selected based upon managements assessment of the banks financial stability. Balances periodically exceed the $100,000 federal depository insurance limit; however, the Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.
Accounts receivable generally arise from sales of equipment and services to various companies throughout the world. Collateral is generally not required for credit granted. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company had three customers representing 33% and 36% of its custom application revenue, respectively. Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 is $222,630 or 55% due from these three customers.
21
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the original estimated economic useful lives of the applicable assets are capitalized. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Capitalized Development Costs
Capitalized development costs consist of direct costs incurred in developing proprietary technology exclusively used in its products and costs incurred in obtaining a patent on such technology. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period. As of December 31, 2006, accumulated amortization of these intangible assets is $125,358. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded amortization expense of $59,950 and $65,408, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company did not capitalize any additional development costs.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are deferred and recognized, using the interest method, over the term of the related debt.
Shipping and Delivery Costs
The cost of shipping and delivery is charged directly to cost of sales and service at the time of shipment.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their net realizable value.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the outstanding shares by common equivalent shares from common stock options and warrants. There were no commons stock equivalents included in diluted EPS at December 31, 2006 and 2005 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 Revised 2004, Share-Based Payment, which establishes accounting for stock-based payment transactions for employee services and goods and services received from non-employees. SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), and supersedes APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's or non-employee's service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity grant.
22
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with FAS 123. As allowed under SFAS 123, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting which bases compensation expense on the difference between the quoted market price of the award at the measurement date less the amount, if any, the employee is required to pay for the stock. As of December 31, 2004 all options were vested and no options were granted during the calendar year ended December 31, 2005.
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application method and, accordingly, no prior periods have been restated as a result of the adoption of this pronouncement. Under this method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 included: (a) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123; and (b) compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. The Company's forfeiture estimates were not changed as a result of adopting SFAS 123(R). " Proforma information is not presented as there would be no change in the amounts reported in the periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset, including associated intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or the assets estimated fair value to the assets carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company includes fair value information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to the current period presentation.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at it fair value and is then re−valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option−based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black−Scholes model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non−current based on whether or not net−cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," (SFAS No. 123(R)), which revises SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," (APB No. 25).

Going Concern Considerations
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has defaulted on its notes payable and obligations under product financing arrangements, has continued to accumulate payables to its vendors and has experienced negative financial results as follows:
2006 | 2005 | |
Net income (loss) | $(1,303,857) | $1,668,270 |
Negative cash flows from operations | $(750,752) | $(1,419,085) |
Negative working capital | $(4,103,932) | $(5,122,487) |
Accumulated deficit | $(14,725,943) | $(13,422,086) |
Stockholders deficit | $(3,876,331) | $(4,041,901) |
These conditions create an uncertainty as to Virtra's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is trying to raise additional capital through various funding arrangements. The financial statements did not include any adjustment that might be necessary if Virtra is unable to continue as a going concern.
3.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from certain companies for the purchase of equipment and services. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided, when appropriate, based on past experience and other factors which, in managements judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable bad debts. Such factors include circumstances with respect to specific accounts receivable, growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2006 all accounts receivable are considered collectible and the allowance for doubtful accounts is $0.
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. Our accounts receivable have been recorded at the net realizable amount net of any applicable factoring fees if any.

Obligations Under Product Financing Arrangements
In financing the production of its arcade equipment, the Company had entered into agreements whereby an entity or individual advanced funds to the Company to produce specific arcade equipment. Under this arrangement, the Company had agreed to make monthly payments for a specified amount for three years, with an automatic renewal for an additional three years unless cancelled in writing, from the origination date as specified in the agreement. In addition, the entity or individual advancing the funds had the right to exercise a buy-out whereby the Company has 180 days to repay the obligation upon exercise of the buy-out. Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of approximately 16%.
In connection with these financing arrangements, the Company had incurred debt issuance costs of approximately 21% of the total obligation. These costs were amortized over a three year period using the interest method resulting in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 29% on these obligations.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company was in default on its remaining obligations under the product financing arrangements (See Note 9) totaling $454,980, which included accrued interest. The Company has not made any interest payments on these obligations since September 2001 and has received notices from various individuals and entities demanding buyouts of these obligations.
8.
Debt Exchange Agreement
During 2004, the Company presented an exchange offer to the holders of certain of its notes payable and obligations under product financing arrangements whereby the debt holders were allowed to convert the principal and accrued interest related to its debt to common stock of the Company under one of three options. Under Option A, the debt holder could receive common stock equal to 0.6 shares per dollar of principal amount he or she was owed, and was not required to lock up any of the shares he or she receives in the exchange. Under Option B, each debt holder could receive common stock equal to 0.9 shares per dollar of principal amount he or she was owed, but could not sell any of the shares for a period of six months, after which the shares could be sold in six equal monthly installments. Under Option C, each debt holder could receive common stock equal to 1.2 shares per dollar of principal amount he or she was owed, but could not sell any of the shares for a period of one year, after which the shares could be sold in six equal monthly installments.
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company issued 0 and 393,400 shares of its common stock in exchange for principal and accrued interest. As a result of these conversion base d upon the market price of the Companys common stock at the exchange date compared to the principal and accrued interest exchanged the Company recorded a gain of $0 and $516,220 in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

11. 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 14).
Based on the guidance in SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, the Company concluded that these instruments were required to be accounted for as derivatives. SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 require the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features of the convertible debentures and warrants issued as
embedded derivatives.
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.
Furthermore, the Company concluded that the exercise price and the number of shares to be issued under the warrants are not fixed. Therefore, exercise of these warrants and these debentures might result in issuing an indeterminate number of shares, and it cannot be concluded that the Company has a sufficient number of authorized shares to settle these warrants. As such, the warrants were accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities. The Company is required to record the fair value of the conversion features and the warrants on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the statement of operations as "Gain (loss) on embedded derivative liability." The derivative liabilities were not previously classified as such in the Company's historical financial statements. In order to reflect these changes, the Company is concurrently restating its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006.
The impact of the application of SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 is as follows:
2006 | 2005 | |
Convertible debentures, face amount | 470,117 | 774,046 |
Unamortized discount of conversion feature | (255,792) | (613,286) |
Embedded derivative liability - warrants | 342,486 | 692,848 |
Total | 556,811 | 853,608 |
The impact on statements of operations for this restatement for the year ended December 31, 2006 is as follows:
27
As previously reported | Adjustments | Restated 12/31/2006 | |||
Interest Expense | (527,944) | 180,712 | (a) | (708,656) | |
Gain on embedded derivative liability | - | (350,362) | (b) | 350,362 | |
Net Loss | $1,473,507 | (169,650) | $1,303,857 | ||
EPS | $(0.02) | - | $(0.02) |
(a)To adjust interest expense for discount amortization associated with the bifurcation of the embedded derivatives.
(b) To record the fair value of derivatives from inception through December 31, 2006 net of bifurcation.
12.
Income Taxes
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and, therefore, has not been subject to federal income taxes. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $12,848,500 which expire in various tax years through 2026. Under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code the ownership change in the Company that resulted from the merger of the Company could severely limit the Companys ability to utilize its NOL carryforward to reduce future taxable income and related tax liabilities. Additionally, because United States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOL for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income.
The composition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related tax effects at December 31, 2006 are as follows: | |
Deferred tax assets: | |
Net operating losses | $4,158,907 |
Valuation allowance | (4,153,991) |
Total deferred tax assets | 4,916.00 |
Deferred tax liabilities: | |
Property and equipment | (4,916) |
Total deferred tax liability | (4,916) |

The difference between the income tax benefit in the accompanying statement of operations and the amount that would result if the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 34% were applied to pre-tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows: | ||||||

In July 2002, the Company entered into an agreement for up to a maximum $5,000,000 sale of its common stock to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LP (Dutchess). Under this investment agreement the Company has the right to issue a put notice to Dutchess to purchase the Companys common stock. Put notices cannot be issued more frequently than every seven days. The required purchase price is equal to 92% of
30
the average of the four lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the five-day period immediately following the issuance of the put notice. Each individual put notice is subject to a maximum amount equal to 175% of the daily average volume of the common stock for the 40 trading days before the issuance of the put notice multiplied by the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock for the three trading days immediately preceding the put notice date. Regardless of the amount stated in a put notice, the maximum amount that Dutchess is required to purchase is the lesser of the amount stated in the put notice or an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate trading volume of the common stock during the five days immediately following the date of the put notice times 92% of the average of the four lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during this five-day period. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company received $76,142 of net proceeds from the issuance of 246,352 shares of its common stock related to this agreement.
In February 2005, the Company entered into a new investment agreement with Dutchess for up to a maximum $6,000,000 sale of its common stock. Under this investment agreement the Company has the right to issue a put notice to Dutchess to purchase the Companys common stock. Put notices cannot be issued more frequently than every seven days. The required purchase price is equal to 92% of the average of the four lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the five-day period immediately following the issuance of the put notice. Each individual put notice is subject to a maximum amount equal to 175% of the daily average volume of the common stock for the 40 trading days before the issuance of the put notice multiplied by the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock for the three trading days immediately preceding the put notice date. Regardless of the amount stated in a put notice, the maximum amount that Dutchess is required to purchase is the lesser of the amount stated in the put notice or an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate trading volume of the common stock during the five days immediately following the date of the put notice times 92% of the average of the four lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during this five-day period. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 6,500,000 shares of common stock were issued under this agreement for proceeds of approximately $264,784.
Upon accepting employment in 2006, General Dalby was awarded options to purchase $1,000,000 shares of common stock of the company at a strike price of $0.035. At the time of the grant, the market price of the stock was $.04. The company recorded an expense of $5,000.

In connection with the issuance of Convertible Debentures in 2005 (see note 11) the Company issued stock warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.33, 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock at the lowest market price five days prior to funding and 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.19 per share. These warrants are exercisable over a 5 year period.
During August of 2005, the Company issued stock warrants to a consultant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.40 per share. These warrants vest upon grant and are exercisable over a three-year period. Using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: (i) volatility of 71%, and (ii) interest rate of 3.5%, the value of the warrants were estimated to be $40,251 which was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. For the accounting treatment of this investment agreement, see Note 11.

Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Obligations
The Company rents office space in Houston, Texas on a month-to-month basis at $2,139 per month and in Tempe at $7,611 per month. Both facilities are leased from third parties.
In prior years, the company leased office space in Arlington, Texas from the law firm of Jones & Cannon. No payments were made during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Included in accounts payable at December 31, 2005 is $75,750 owed to the officer and stockholder for this rent. Included in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 is rent expense of $18,000.
These lease charges were a component of the lawsuit against us by Jones & Cannon. The company has reserved adequate amounts on its books for this liability.
Employment Contract
Effective September 1, 2003, the Company entered into a contract with an employee whereby the employee is to receive a base salary and a four percent cash commission on all sales originated by the employee. In addition, the employee is entitled to receive options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock with an exercise price of $0.10 per share, if certain sales targets are achieved for each of the next three years. If the sales targets are not achieved, the stock options will not be exercisable. As of December 31, 2004 the sales target in the first year was achieved, therefore, options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock became exercisable. During December 31, 2006 and 2005 the sales target in the second and third year was not achieved, therefore, options to purchase 300,000 and 500,000 respectively, shares of common stock were cancelled (See Note 14).
Litigation
The Company is involved in litigation related to its delinquent repayment of certain of its obligations under product financing arrangements, notes payable to stockholder and accounts payable to vendors. Management believes that such litigation will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the amounts owed to these individuals and entities have been accrued in the accompanying balance sheet.
During the course of 2006, the prospectus covering the registration of shares for conversion by Dutchess Private Equities lapsed, unbeknown either to VirTra Systems or Dutchess. From July through October, Dutchess continued to convert and Virtra honored their conversions to common stock in an apparent
32
violation of securities laws. However it was not Virtra, but a selling shareholder that was selling the unregistered stock. There is no way to know whom the end buyers were so no formal offer of recission, the normal remedy in such cases, can be made. However, certain shareholders who acquired this stock during that period could seek recission. The companys potential liability could be up to $250,000. We do not consider this loss probable at this time.
The Company is currently a party to certain other litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that such litigation will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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. As of March 30, 2007, we are current with Charter Capital.

Included in other current liabilities on the balance sheet are $82,252 owed to an officer of the company for advances he has made to Virtra Systems over the years.

Restatement
The Company has restated its annual financial statements from amounts previously reported on December 31, 2006. The Company previously recorded the convertible features of its debt as a beneficial conversion feature and reflected such discount as a reduction in the debt as a discount. The Company has determined that certain financial instruments issued by the Company contain features that require the Company to account for these features as derivative instruments. Accordingly, the debentures and associated warrants have been accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities rather than as equity. Additionally, the embedded conversion features of the debentures and warrants related to the debt have been bifurcated from the debt and accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities. Note 11 was amended to disclose the derivative instrument liabilities and provide information on subsequent changes.
The Company is required to record the fair value of the conversion features and the warrants on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the statement of operations as "Gain (loss) on derivative instrument liabilities." The effect of the (non-cash) changes related to accounting separately for these derivative instrument liabilities and modifying the estimated volatility, on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was a decrease in the net loss attributable to common shareholders of $169,650 and $326,786, respectively. This restatement had no material impact on net loss per share available to common shareholders for either year.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Section 16"), requires that reports of beneficial ownership of capital stock and changes in such ownership be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Section 16 "reporting persons," including directors, certain officers, holders of more than 10% of the outstanding common stock and certain trusts of which reporting persons are trustees. We are required to disclose in this annual report on Form 10-K each reporting person whom we know to have failed to file any required reports under Section 16 on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 or prior fiscal years.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive officer and senior financial officers. The board of directors intends to hold these officers to the highest ethical standards in their conduct of our business, but it does not believe that for a small company like ours formal exhortations to that effect are effective or contribute to that objective. The board of directors also believes that publishing a laundry list of specific prohibitions would be counter-productive, as it would detract from the board of director's objective by encouraging the attitude that all conduct not specifically prohibited is permitted.
Significant Employees
In addition to the officers and directors identified above, the following employees play a significant role in our operations.
Tom Milks, age 44, serves as our vice-president of advertising and promotion sales. Previously, Mr. Milks ran the North American operations office of Virtuality, a virtual reality company.

Further, he is entitled to stock options under which he may purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.035 per share upon achievement of the following goals:

2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan
In February, 2000, the board of directors adopted, and a majority of the shareholders approved, our 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan, subject to approval of shareholders at the next annual meeting. The purpose of the plan is to enable us to attract, retain and motivate key employees who are important to the success and growth of our business, and to create a long-term mutuality of interest between our shareholders and those key employees by granting them options to purchase our common stock. Options granted under the plan may be either incentive stock options or non-statutory options. The plan is to be administered either directly by the board, or by a committee consisting of two or more outside directors (the "Committee"). Under the plan, options may be granted to our key employees. The option price is to be fixed by the Committee at the time the option is granted. If the option is intended to be an incentive stock option, the purchase price is to be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option is granted, or, if the person to whom the option is granted is the owner of 10% or more of our common stock, 110% of such fair market value. The Committee is to specify when and on what terms the options granted to key employees are to become exercisable. However, no option may be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant or five years from the date of grant in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of our common stock. In the case of incentive stock options, the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which the options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 unless this limitation has ceased to be in effect under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue code. If there is a change of control of our company, all outstanding options become immediately exercisable in full. In the event of an employee's death, or following the employee's retirement at or after age 65 or before age 65 with the consent of the Committee, outstanding options may be exercised for a period of one year from the applicable date of death or retirement. If the employee's employment is terminated for reasons other than death or retirement, the options remain exercisable for a period of three months after such termination unless termination was for cause, in which case all outstanding options are immediately canceled. 1,500,000 shares of common stock have been initially authorized for issuance under the plan. Under the plan, eligible individuals may, at the discretion of the Committee, be granted options to purchase shares of common stock. However, no eligible individuals may be granted options for more than 500,000 shares in any calendar year. The option price and number of shares covered by an option will be adjusted proportionately in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, etc., and the Committee is authorized to make other adjustments to take into consideration any other event which it determines to be appropriate to avoid distortion of the operation of the plan. In the event of a merger or consolidation, option holders will be entitled to acquire the number and class of shares of the surviving corporation which they would have been entitled to receive after the merger or consolidation if they had been the holders of the number of shares covered by the options. If we are not the surviving entity in a merger and consolidation, the Committee may in its discretion terminate all outstanding options, and in that event option holders will have 20 days from the time they received notice of termination to exercise all their outstanding options. The plan terminates ten years from its effective date unless terminated earlier by the board of directors or the shareholders. Proceeds of the sale of shares subject to options under the plan are to be added to our general funds and used for its general corporate purposes.
38
On September 21, 2001, our shareholders approved the 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan, and increased the shares authorized for the plan from 1,500,000 to 6,000,000.
In May of 2002, options for 150,000 shares under the plan, at an option price of $0.21, were granted to our corporate secretary and our then-current vice-president of operations. The former vice-president of operations has exercised his options.
In February of 2005, options for 1,700,000 shares under the plan, at an option price of $0.30, were granted to our vice-president of production and senior engineer; our vice-president of advertising/promotion; our vice-president of investor relations; our director of training; our corporate secretary; our senior engineer; our senior graphics designer; our videographer; and our graphic artist.
There were no stock options issued in 2006.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Mr. Ferris, our president, is the owner of Ferris Holdings, L.L.C., which was the landlord on the lease for our engineering, technical, and production facilities in Phoenix, Arizona. On December 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (Revised). This accounting change added assets and liabilities to the balance sheet as of that date resulting from the consolidation of Ferris Holdings, L.L.C., into our financial statements. Ferris Holdings, L.L.C. is an entity 100% owned by Mr. Ferris, and the entitys only asset is the land and building in Phoenix, Arizona, which we currently lease, Since we also guarantee the debt related to this property, we have an implicit variable interest in this entity. This accounting change resulted in $827,263 of additional property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, a $67,885 reduction in note receivable from a related party, and $805,856 of additional notes payable, but did not require an adjustment to earnings and is not expected to affect future earnings or cash flows. The accounting change did result in a loss of $(46,478), which is reported as a Cumulative effect of accounting change in the accompanying statement of operations. On September 15, 2006, the building was sold and Virtra was released from the lease without penalty. The company now leases space from an unrelated third party.
In December, 1997, we agreed to redeem at par value an aggregate of 1,505,399 shares of the common stock held by the ten former shareholders of First Brewery of Dallas, Inc., a company we acquired in April, 1997. The aggregate redemption price was $7,527.02. That redemption was to have occurred no later than March 31, 1998. However, we did not have sufficient funds to honor this commitment and are currently in default under the agreement as to a few of these shareholders. Mr. Jones and Ms. Biggs were among those whose shares were to have been redeemed. In February, 2000, we and Mr. Jones agreed that the shares that were to have been redeemed from Mr. Jones would not be redeemed. In September of 2004, we and Ms. Biggs agreed that the shares that were to have been redeemed from Ms. Biggs would not be redeemed. In February, 2002, we completed the redemption of 287,531 of these shares from one shareholder, and those shares when received were canceled. In December, 2004, and January, 2005, we completed the redemption of 67,743 and 34,624 of these shares from two shareholders. Demand has been made upon the remaining four shareholders for 371,834 shares.
During the period from July, 1997 through May, 1998 Mr. Jones, our chairman of the board and chief executive officer, lent us an aggregate of $90,000 for use as operating capital. Of this amount, $65,000 was subsequently eliminated when Mr. Jones accepted in full satisfaction of that debt certain equipment securing bank debt which Mr. Jones had guaranteed, leaving a balance of $25,000.00. This indebtedness was evidenced by an unsecured demand promissory note at an annual interest rate of 12 % per annum. During the period from November, 2000 through December, 2001, Mr. Jones lent us an aggregate of $81,000 for use as operating capital, for a total indebtedness of $106,000. This $81,000 indebtedness was evidenced by unsecured promissory notes without interest. All of this indebtedness was converted to 151,200 common shares, contractually locked up until as long as June of 2006, as part of our debt conversion plan approved on December 13, 2004.
