Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
(Unaudited) |
(Expressed in Canadian dollars) |
Nine months ended September 30, 2012 |
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, 2011. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other interim period.
The financial information as at September 30, 2012 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 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.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,092,504, reported a loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 of $780,294 and has positive working capital of $144,919 as at September 30, 2012. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $1,068,600. Although management is confident that the company can access sufficient working capital to maintain operations and ultimately generate positive cash flows from operations, the ability to sustain the current level of operations is dependent upon growing sales and achieving profits. The Companys bank credit facility was suspended on December 30, 2011 due to the banks assessment of the Companys financial position. Management has determined that the Company will need to raise a minimum of $500,000 by way of new debt or equity financing to continue normal operations for the next twelve months. Management has been actively seeking new investors and developing customer relationships, however a financing arrangement has not yet completed. Short-term loan financing is anticipated from related parties, however there is no certainty that loans will be available when required. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern.

5. | Derivative financial liabilities (contd) |
The fair value of the warrants and conversion option were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the lattice binomial pricing model, respectively, using the following current market assumptions: |
September 30, | December 31, | ||||||
2012 | 2011 | ||||||
Volatility | 180% | 180% | |||||
Dividend yield | - | - | |||||

Expected life | 3.19 4.69 yrs | 0.29 4.17 yrs |
6. | Capital stock |
|
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 retroactively restated to reflect the forward-stock-split. |
||
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series A shares) |
||
On June 7, 2012, the Company completed the sale of 1,000 shares of Series A Converitble Redeemable preferred Stock, par value US$0.001 per share and stated value of US$1,000 per share, for gross proceeeds of US$1,000,000. The Series A shares contain certain rights and preferences as follows: |
||
The Series A Shares are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of US$0.0407 per common share or 85% of the previous twenty day volume weighted average pricing. |
||
dividends of 8% payable in cash or Series A Shares. |
||
voting and conversion rights to 4.99% of the outstanding common stock per holder |
||
registration rights to the holders of the Series A Shares that may be exercised in certain circumstances. |
||
holders of Series A Shares are entitled to be paid 125% of the stated value of the Series A Shares, plus all accrued, but unpaid dividends on Series A Shares, upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, including forms of mergers and acquisitions, in priority to any payments to the holders of shares of common stock. |

6. | Capital Stock (contd) |
|
the Series A Shares may be redeemed by the holders for 150% of their stated value, plus all accrued, but unpaid dividends on Series A Shares, upon the occurrence of a default, which includes performance conditions, delisting or late filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). |
||
In connection with the Series A share issuance, the Company also issued to the shareholders 12,285,012 shares purchase warrants, each exercisable into one common shares at US$0.08 per share for a period of 5 years. The Company paid a cash comission of US$100,000 and issued 2,457,002 Agents warrants. Each Agent warrant exercisable into one common share of the Company at US$0.05 per share for a period of 5 years. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. |
||
The above Series A shares and share purchase warrants were first assessed under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that neither financial instrument was within the scope of ASC 480. These financial instruments were then assessed under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As a result of this evaluation, the share purchase warrants are recorded at their fair value at each reporting period, with the change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The Series A shares are deemed to be a debt host contract and accordingly the conversion option is subject to bifurcation and separate evaluation. The conversion option has been bifurcated and recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with the change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. |
||
On November 10, 2011, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for business relations, research services and consulting for equity placements, whereby the Company was required to issue 260,000 common shares at a price of $0.08, the stock price at the agreement date. The shares were issued on January 6, 2012. At December 31, 2011 an obligation to issue shares was recorded in the amount of $20,800. |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Results of Operations
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $858,128 and $903,477, respectively, a decrease of $45,349 or 5.0%. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $2,626,217 and $2,664,805, respectively, a decrease of $38,588 or 1.4%. These two comparative periods were consistent. MESH sales, which also include MESH EPX and MESH Freedom, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $434,344 and $451,195, respectively, a decrease of $16,851 or 3.7%. MESH sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $1,409,113 and $1,385,736, respectively, an increase of $23,377 or 1.7%. These two comparative periods were consistent. 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, 2012 and 2011 were $85,634 and $126,442, respectively, a decrease of $40,808 or 32.3%. Enterphone 2000 sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $284,489 and $294,437, respectively, a decrease of $9,948 or 3.4%. 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 started selling MESH Freedom, the new IT platform, developed and released during the last quarter of 2010. The MESH Freedom 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, 2012 and 2011, MESH sales were 53.7% and 52.0%, 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 1,380 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, 2012 and 2011, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $792,802 and $833,148, respectively, a decrease of $40,346 or 4.8%. These two comparative periods were consistent.
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 1,380 at September 30, 2012, as compared to 1,428 at December 31, 2011 and 1,434 at September 30, 2011. During the three quarters of 2012, 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, 2012, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $52,231.
Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 38.6% and 34.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 39.4% and 40.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Cost of sales has remained consistent as we continue to use 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, 2012 and 2011 was $527,181 and $591,245, respectively, a decrease of $64,064 or 10.8%. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,591,719 and $1,580,463, respectively, an increase of $11,256 or 0.7%. This corresponds with consistent sales and the declining cost of sales for the three and nine months ended months ended September 30, 2012 mentioned above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $768,565 and $763,396, respectively, an increase of $5,169 or 0.7%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $2,476,884 and $2,556,793, respectively, a decrease of $79,909 or 3.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 94.3% and 95.9%, respectively. Consulting fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $571,500 and $254,391, respectively, an increase of $317,109. Consulting fees, in part, increased due to paying a consultant US$103,000 to raise the US$1,000,000 on June 7, 2012. Other increases were related to Board of Directors fees and the addition of consultants to provide strategic advice and alliances for key markets including the US Federal Government for Freedom projects.
Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $120,085 and $105,484, respectively, an increase of $14,601 or 13.8%. Research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $262,685 and $365,342, respectively, a decrease of $102,657 or 28.1%. Engineering expenses were reduced due to the completion of the MESH Freedom hardware.
Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $780,294, as compared to a net loss of $325,852 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increased loss of $454,442. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $2,323,477, as compared to a net loss of $2,944,563 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, a decreased loss of $621,086. During the first three quarters of 2012, expenses were controlled to maintain cash flow and to minimize the net loss. The loss during 2011 was due to increased advertising, travel, tradeshow, and various office expenses. The loss in 2011 was increased by $1,582,939 as a result of a fair value adjustment of certain outstanding warrants that are accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. The loss in 2012 was increased by $1,155,826 as a result of an initial loss on recognition of a derivative financial instrument and fair value adjustment of certain warrants that are accounted for as a derivative financial instrument. The fair value adjustment has no cash flow impact.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash as of September 30, 2012, as compared to December 31, 2011 was $107,653 and $169,322, respectively, a decrease of $61,669.
On June 7, 2012, Viscount Systems, Inc. completed a sale of 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value US$0.001 per share, at a purchase price of US$1,000 and a stated value of US$1,000 per A Share, and for no additional consideration, an issuance of 12,285,012 share purchase warrants of the Company for gross proceeds of US$1,000,000. Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of US$0.08 per share for a period of 5 years from the closing date. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The A Shares are convertible, at the option of the holders, into 24,570,024 shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of US$0.0407 per share, subject to adjustment provisions.
In connection with the offering, the Company paid to a registered broker-dealer a cash commission of US$100,000 and issued share purchase warrants to acquire 2,457,002 shares of common stock of the Company. Each Agent Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of US$0.05 per share for a period of 5 years from the closing date. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.
At December 30, 2011 the Companys credit facility of which the lesser of $500,000 or 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days at the prime lending rate plus 1.75% could have been drawn was suspended due to the banks assessment of the Companys financial position. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $nil was drawn on this facility.
At September 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital of $144,919, as compared to working capital of $133,449 at December 31, 2011. Working capital had increased by $11,470. The current ratio at September 30, 2012 was 1.17, as compared with 1.14 at December 31, 2011.
The Company has the ability to finance operations and future growth through a stock-based equity injection of up to $2 million. However, the state of the global financial markets and recession fears present significant uncertainties for the timing and successful completion of an equity investment.
The Companys financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,092,504, reported a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $2,323,477. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months September 30, 2012 were $1,068,600. Although management is confident that the company can access, sufficient working capital to maintain operations and ultimately generate positive cash flow from operations, the ability to sustain the current level of operations is dependent upon growing sales and achieving profits. Management continues seeking new investors and developing customer relationships. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern.
The accounts receivable turnover ratio was 51 days at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011. The accounts receivable reserve was $115,445 at September 30, 2012, as compared to $133,389 at December 31, 2011. The accounts receivable reserve has decreased by $17,944 or 13.5%, since the year ended December 31, 2011. 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.
The Company is subject to significant liquidity risk. At September 30, 2012, the Companys current assets consist principally of trade accounts receivables and inventory. The Company must liquidate inventories and rapidly increase collection periods on its receivables to ensure that sufficient cash is available to settle payables and operating costs as they come due.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 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 lines. 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, 2012.
There are no known trends or uncertainties that will have a material impact on revenues.
Related Party Transactions
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company received a $45,000 loan from a shareholder. It was paid back this second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Critical Accounting estimates and judgements:
The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon the Companys financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, the provision for future warranty costs, the estimated useful lives of equipment and intangible assets, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation. Details are provided for critical estimates are as follows:
The Company follows the cost reduction method of accounting for investment tax credits and recognizes the estimated net recoverable amount when reasonable assurance exists as to their collectability. Investment tax credits claimed are ultimately subject to finalization of a review by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. No assurances can be provided that the Companys investment tax credit claims will be accepted as filed.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of its customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the uncollectability of the Companys trade accounts receivable balances. If the Company determines that the financial conditions of any of its customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made.
The Company reviews its intangible assets on an annual basis for impairment. The intangible assets are comprised of Enterphone service contracts. Management specifically reviews the number of contracts on hand and if there will be significant future cash flows to be generated from these contracts. If the Company determines that there is impairment, then a write-down will be made.
The Company maintains an allowance for inventory obsolescence. Management reviews the inventory on a quarterly basis by directly testing obsolete inventory.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, the Company considers estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected to reverse in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Derivative financial instruments that are not classified as equity and are not used in hedging relationships are measured at fair value. Susequent changes to fair value are recorded in the statement of operations.
