Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Nine months ended September 30, 2011

1.

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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of Viscount Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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 September 30, 2011 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 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.

   

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 9).

   
2.

Prior year restatement

   

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 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 (“US$”), 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 September 30, 2010 is as follows:


      As previously              
      reported     Adjustment     As restated  
  Statement of Operations:                  
  Fair value adjustment on derivative liability $  -   $  33,812   $  33,812  
  Net loss   (39,379 )   33,812     (5,567 )

Intangible assets

On May 16, 2003, the Company completed 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 September 30, 2011, the Company held 1,434 service agreements (December 31, 2010 – 1,482) at a cost, net of accumulated amortization of $135,798 (December 31, 2010 - $120,129), of $73,123 (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  
  2015   5,224  

6.

Bank indebtedness

The Company has a bank credit facility which allows it to borrow up to a maximum of $500,000 or 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 the Company’s assets under a general security agreement and a pledge of personal property of a significant shareholder. When the faicility is in use, the Company is required to maintain a current ratio greater than 1.5:1, measured quarterly, under the terms of the demand facility agreement. At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with debt covenants. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance of amounts drawn under this facility was $Nil.(See Note 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.

   
8.

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 table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers, in and/or out, of financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the quarter ended September 30, 2011:


  Fair Value Measurements Using Level 3 Inputs  
      Derivative liability  
      - warrants  
         
  Beginning balance as of December 31, 2009 $  225,456  
  Fair value of warrants issued in December 2010   293,031  
  Total fair value adjustment   455,810  
  Balance as of December 31, 2010   974,297  
  Total fair value adjustment   1,582,939  
  Fair value of warrants issued in March 2011   267,355  
  Transfers out to Equity   (1,865,692 )
  Ending balance at September 30, 2011 $  958,899  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a charge to operations of $1,582,939 (2010 – credit of $141,581) being the change in the fair value of the derivative warrants during the period.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company obtained the consent of 16,063,002 warrant holders to have the currency that the exercise price of their warrants is denominated in, changed from United States dollars to Canadian dollars. As the exercise price of these warrants no longer differs from the Company’s functional currency, their fair value was reclassified to equity on the date of conversion. The total amount reclassified to additional paid-in capital totalled $1,865,692.

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

      September 30,     December 31,  
      2011     2010  
  Volatility   180%     175% - 201%  
  Dividend yield   -     -  
  Risk-free interest rate   0.30% - 2.24%     0.29% - 2.01%  
  Expected life   0.54 – 4.42 yrs     1.29 – 4.94 yrs

Capital stock

Common Stock:

On March 3, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 10,950,000 units at a price of US$0.05 per unit for total proceeds of $542,272 (US$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 US$0.08 for a period of 5 years, expiring March 3, 2016. Upon issuance of the units, $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 of the warrants 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.

Effective April 18, 2011, the Company completed a three for one forward-stock-split of its common stock with a corresponding increase in its authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 300,000,000 shares of common stock. All common stock, option, warrant and per share amounts are stated on a post forward-stock-split 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 annual financial statements included 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 September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $903,477 and $1,052,658, respectively, a decrease of $149,181 or 14.2% . Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $2,664,805 and $2,957,718, respectively, a decrease of $292,913 or 9.9% . This decrease was due to decreased MESH sales. MESH sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $451,195 and $576,610, respectively, a decrease of $125,415 or 21.8% . MESH sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $1,385,736 and $1,667,123, respectively, a decrease of $281,387 or 16.9% . 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 September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $126,442 and $66,245, respectively, an increase of $60,197 or 90.9% . Enterphone 2000 sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $294,437 and $229,180, respectively, an increase of $65,257 or 28.5% . 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, MESH sales were 52.0% and 56.4%, 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 1,434 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $833,148 and $945,509, respectively, a decrease of $112,361 or 11.9% . 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 1,434 at September 30, 2011, as compared to 1,482 and 1,512 at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively. During the first three quarters 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 September 30, 2011, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $73,123.


Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 34.6% and 47.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 40.7% and 42.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Cost of sales has decreased as a result of a decline in sales as well as through the use of lower cost input materials in the MESH and Freedom Bridge products. Management has continued 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 September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $591,245 and $553,467, respectively, an increase of $37,778 or 6.8% . For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, gross profit was $1,580,463 and $1,693,641, respectively, a decrease of $113,178 or 6.7% . This decrease in gross profit corresponds with decreased sales and the declining cost of sales for the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2011 as mentioned above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $763,396 and $451,795, respectively, an increase of $311,601 or 69.0% . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $2,556,793 and $1,538,323, respectively, an increase of $1,018,470 or 66.2% . This increase was mainly due to increased marketing expenses to promote the new MESH Freedom product and various selling, general and administrative expenses. Also included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was stock-based compensation expense of $363,000, compared to $Nil in the corresponding period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 95.9% and 52.0%, respectively. The nine month period saw significant increases in advertising, travel, tradeshow, consulting fees, and various office expenses as part of the Company’s increased marketing and promotional efforts.

Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $105,484 and $133,757, respectively, a decrease of $28,273 or 21.1% . Research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $365,342 and $234,461, respectively, an increase of $130,881 or 55.8% . This increase was due to increased engineering expenses to produce and develop the MESH Freedom product.

Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 was $325,852, as compared to a net loss of $5,567 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, an increased loss of $320,285. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2,944,563 as compared to a net gain of $38,920 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This equates to an increase in nine month period over nine month period loss of $2,983,383. 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 September 30, 2011 was $41,643 compared to $141,581 credited to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash as of September 30, 2011, as compared to December 31, 2010 was $196,930 and $820,344, respectively. Cash as of September 30, 2010 was $461,656. Cash decreased by $264,726 at September 30, 2011, as compared to September 30, 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 September 30, 2011, $nil was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.

At September 30, 2011, working capital was $493,873, as compared to a working capital of $984,984 at December 31, 2010. Working capital has decreased by $491,111. The current ratio at September 30, 2011 was 1.66 to 1.0, as compared with 2.05 to 1.0 at December 31, 2010.

The accounts receivable turnover ratio at September 30, 2011 was 51 days, as compared 73 days at December 31, 2010 and 78 days at September 30, 2010. The decrease at September 30, 2011 was the result of receiving payment in its entirety by one large accounts receivable from a large customer. The accounts receivable reserve was $163,632 at September 30, 2011, as compared to $97,642 at December 31, 2010. The accounts receivable reserve has increased by $65,990 or 67.6%, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2011.

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