Basis of presentation

   

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q and by Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete set of annual financial statements. Readers of these statements should read the audited annual consolidated financial statements of Viscount Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conjunction therewith. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2011 or for any other interim period.

   

The financial information as at March 31, 2011 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is unaudited; however, such financial information includes all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date included in the Form 10-K.

   

Effective April 18, 2011, the Company completed a three for one forward-split of its common stock. All common stock and related per share amounts in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are stated on an after-forward-split basis (Note 13).

   
2.

Restatement

   

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 have been restated to correct the accounting for warrants that were issued in connection with a private placement completed on April 16, 2007. The exercise price of these warrants is denominated in United States dollars, which differs from the Company’s functional currency (Canadian dollars) and therefore these warrants cannot be considered to be indexed to the Corporation’s own stock and accordingly must be accounted for as a derivative liability with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of operations.

   

The effect of the resulting adjustments on the company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:


      As previously              
      reported     Adjustment     As restated  
                     
  Fair value adjustment on derivative liability $  -   $  49,358   $  49,358  
  Net income   66,205     49,358     115,563  
  Income per common share – basic and diluted   0.00     0.00     0.00

Intangible assets

   

On May 16, 2003, the Company consummated an agreement for the purchase of certain assets of Telus Corporation (“Telus”) comprised primarily of service agreements for a product sold by Telus known as “Enterphone 2000”. At December 31, 2003, the Company had acquired 2,215 service agreements for which it paid a total of $208,921. At March 31, 2011, the Company held 1,468 service agreements (December 31, 2010 – 1,482) at a cost, net of accumulated amortization of $125,352 (December 31, 2010 - $120,129), of $83,569 (December 31, 2010 - $88,792). The aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:


  Year ending December 31:      
         
  2011 $ 20,892  
  2012   20,892  
  2013   20,892  
  2014   20,892  

6.

Bank indebtedness

   

The Company has a bank credit facility which allows it to borrow up to the lesser of $500,000 and 75% of its accounts receivable, less than 90 days old. Amounts outstanding under the bank credit facility bear interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 1.75% and are repayable on demand. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement and a pledge of personal property of a significant shareholder. The Company is required to maintain a current ratio greater than 1.5:1, measured quarterly, and a debt to tangible net worth ratio less than 1.5:1, measured annually, under the terms of the demand facility agreement. For purposes of debt covenant calculations, amounts due to stockholders are considered a component of equity and not a liability. At March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with debt covenants. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance of amounts drawn under this facility was $Nil.

   
7.

Due to stockholders

   

Amounts due to stockholders in the amount of $172,402 (December 31, 2010 - $172,402) are non- interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment. Amounts due to stockholders are subordinated to amounts due on the company’s credit facility.

Derivative financial liabilities

   

Derivate financial liabilities consist of warrants that were originally issued in private placements that have exercise prices denominated in United States dollars, which differs from the Company’s functional currency. The fair value of these warrants as at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:


      Exercise     March 31,     December 31,  
      price     2011     2010  
  5,032,650 warrants expiring on April 16, 2012   US$    0.083   $  244,990   $  282,997  
  12,000,000 warrants expiring on December 7, 2015   US$    0.080     857,925     691,300  
  10,950,000 warrants expiring on March 3, 2016   US$    0.080     784,701     -  
          $  1,887,616   $  974,297  

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized a charge to operations of $645,964 (2010 – credit of $49,358) being the change in the fair value of the warrants during the period, or since the warrants were issued.

The fair value of these warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

    March 31, December 31,
    2011 2010
  Volatility 178% - 187% 175% - 201%
  Dividend yield -                            -
  Risk-free interest rate 0.30% - 2.24% 0.29% - 2.01%
  Expected life 1.04 – 4.92 yrs 1.29 – 4.94 yrs

9.

Capital stock

   

Common Stock:

   

On March 3, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 10,950,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for total proceeds of US$547,500 (CDN$542,272). Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant of the Company, with each warrant exercisable to acquire an additional share of the Company at a price of US$0.08 for a period of 5 years, expiring March 3, 2016. $267,355 of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants and recorded as a derivative liability and the balance of $220,167, which is net of share issuance costs of $54,750, was allocated to common stock and additional paid-in capital. The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility of 177%; a dividend yield rate of 0%; a risk-free interest rate of 2.24% and an expected life of five years, adjusted for market liquidity and allocated on a relative basis.

Segment information

     
(a)

Operating segments:

     

The Company organizes its business into two reportable segments: manufacturing and servicing. The manufacturing segment designs, produces and sells intercom and door access control systems that utilize telecommunications wiring to control access to buildings and other facilities for security purposes. The servicing segment provides maintenance to these intercom and other door access control systems.

     

Each of the segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 in the financial statements in the most recent Form 10-K. Management evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses, if any. Retail prices are used to report intersegment sales.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $861,197 and $1,011,189, respectively, a decrease of $149,992 or 14.8% . This decrease was due to decreased MESH sales. MESH sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $427,179 and $619,420, respectively, a decrease of $192,241 or 31.0% . MESH is a convergent technology developed by Viscount that increases security at a reduced cost of hardware, cabling and installation, and with simplified database management. Enterphone 2000 sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $84,074 and $65,639, respectively, an increase of $18,435 or 28.1% . As an older technology, Enterphone sales are no longer a significant part of our total sales. MESH EPX is the replacement for our old Enterphone system. MESH EPX is the next generation of Enterphone systems but with features that are compatible with high speed internet and other newer technologies. The Company has also introduced MESH Freedom, the new IT platform, developed and released during the last quarter of 2010. This IT platform can turn any card reader into an IP device by connecting the Freedom IP device with built-in I/O to a POE switch and then every card usage is processed on a redundant MESH server either in your building or anywhere in the world. The software component of MESH Freedom is the MESH web browser security operating platform. Unlike control panels, the user database and the door control software is written in IT language located on a server(s), thereby future proofing systems from the traditional issue of proprietary hardware version obsolescence and improving scalability by eliminating the need for additional hardware every time a reader is added to the system.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, MESH sales were 49.6% and 61.3%, respectively, of total sales.

We also provide Enterphone support and maintenance services pursuant to service contracts that were assigned to us from Telus Corporation in 2003. Sales from the 1,468 existing service contracts continue to be steady. On average, each service contract represents ongoing revenues of approximately $38 per month, inclusive of parts and labor. Typical customers include strata management and building owners as well as various residential, business and industrial users of Enterphone access control and security systems. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $283,485 and $347,014, respectively, a decrease of $63,529 or 18.3% . This decrease was due to the slower local economy.

The intangible assets held by the Company are comprised primarily of service contracts for our Enterphone 2000 product line. The number of service agreements held by the Company was 1,468 at March 31, 2011, as compared to 1,482 and 1,559 at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company performed a test for impairment and evaluated the status of service agreements. Management determined that no charge for impairment was required but the continuing reduction in the number of service contracts held, indicated that the intangible asset should be deemed to have a definitive life. Accordingly, the Company continued to amortize the cost of the service agreements on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years, which became effective as of April 1, 2005. At March 31, 2011, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $83,569.

Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 48.2% and 35.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of sales has increased during these two comparative periods due to a combination of increases in the overall costs for many MESH component parts. However, management continues to focus on controlling the input costs by using multiple suppliers to ensure that the best and most cost effective raw materials are used in all of our products.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $446,253 and $651,812, respectively, a decrease of $205,559 or 31.5% . This decrease in gross profit corresponds with consistent decreased sales and increased cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $762,918 and $534,062, respectively, an increase of $228,856 or 42.9% . This increase was mainly due to increased marketing expenses to promote the new MESH Freedom product and various selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 88.6% and 52.8%, respectively.

Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $138,054 and $43,570, respectively, an increase of $94,484. This increase was due to increased engineering expenses to produce and develop the MESH Freedom product.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1,107,412, as compared to net income of $115,563 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. This equates to an increase in quarter over quarter loss of $1,222,975. This increase in loss was the result of increased advertising, travel, tradeshow, consulting fees, and various office expenses. The increase in loss was also a result of a fair value adjustment of certain outstanding warrants that are accounted for as derivative financial instruments. The fair value adjustment has no cash flow impact and the charge to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $645,964 compared to $49,358 credited to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash as of March 31, 2011, as compared to December 31, 2010 was $807,580 and $820,344, respectively. These two periods were consistent. Cash as of March 31, 2010 was $127,798. Cash increased by $679,782 at March 31, 2011, as compared to March 31, 2010. On December 7, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of 4,000,000 units (12,000,000 units on a post 3:1 forward-stock-split basis) at a price of $0.15 per unit for total proceeds of $600,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant of the Company, with each warrant exercisable to acquire an additional share of the Company at a price of $0.24 ($0.08 on a post forward-stock-split basis) for a period of 5 years, expiring December 7, 2015. On March 3, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 3,650,000 units (10,950,000 units on a post 3:1 forward-stock-split basis) at a price of $0.15 per unit for total proceeds of $547,500. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant of the Company, with each warrant exercisable to acquire an additional share of the Company at a price of $0.24 ($0.08 on a post forward-stock-split basis) for a period of 5 years, expiring March 3, 2016. In addition to cash on hand, the Company has a credit facility that can be drawn upon to the lesser of $500,000 or 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days at the prime lending rate plus 1.75% . Amounts drawn are repayable on demand. At March 31, 2011, $nil was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.

At March 31, 2011, working capital was $1,017,798, as compared to a working capital of $984,984 at December 31, 2010. Working capital has increased by $32,814. The current ratio at March 31, 2011 was 2.25 to 1.0, as compared with 2.05 to 1.0 at December 31, 2010.

The accounts receivable turnover ratio at March 31, 2010 was 51 days, as compared 73 days at December 31, 2010 and 91 days at March 31, 2010. The decrease at March 31, 2011 was the result of receiving payment in its entirety by one large accounts receivable from a large customer. Ignoring this receivable, the turnover ratio at March 31, 2010 would have been 51 days, which is comparable to March 31, 2011.

4


This consistency was due to consistent follow up and monitoring of slower paying accounts on a monthly basis by management. The accounts receivable reserve was $117,206 at March 31, 2011, as compared to $97,642 at December 31, 2010. The accounts receivable reserve has increased by $19,564 or 20.0%, since the year ended December 31, 2010. Management continues to follow-up on customer accounts to improve cash flow and to minimize bad debts. There had been no significant or material business conditions that would warrant further increases to the reserve at this time.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no capital expenditures.

To date, we have not invested in derivative securities or any other financial instruments that involve a high level of complexity or risk. We expect that in the future, any excess cash will continue to be invested in high credit quality, interest-bearing securities.

We will likely require additional funds to support the development and marketing of our new MESH product. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, and may have to curtail operations.

There are no legal or practical restrictions on the ability to transfer funds between parent and subsidiary companies.

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2011.

There are no known trends or uncertainties that will have a material impact on revenues.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards issued during this period ended March 31, 2011 that have or are expected to have a material impact on the Company.
