Six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 |
1. | Basis of presentation |
These unaudited interim condensed 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 the Company filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 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, 2008 or for any other interim period. | |
The financial information as at June 30, 2008 and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date included in the Form 10- KSB. | |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. | |
The Company has incurred losses and the ability of the Company to continue as a going- concern depends upon its ability to restore profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. Management is actively targeting sources of additional financing which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations. | |
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to restore profitable operations and continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the balance sheets. |

1. | Basis of presentation (cont’d…) |
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 applies to all financial instruments being measured and reported on a fair value basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued a staff position that delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities except for those recognized or disclosed at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provision of FAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. | |
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 are marketable equity available for sale securities that are traded in an active exchange market. | |
Level 2 – Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Instruments included in this category are warrants and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 includes assets and liabilities whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. | |
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to adopt the fair value option under this statement. | |
The adoption of these pronouncements did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

4. | 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. The cost of the service agreements was included in intangible assets. The service agreements were initially considered to have an indefinite life and were not amortized through March 31, 2005. The number of service agreements held by the Company decreased to 1,868 at December 31, 2004, 1,780 at December 31, 2005, 1,705 at December 31, 2006 and 1,664 at December 31, 2007. During fiscal 2005, the Company performed a test for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) 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 based on the provisions of SFAS 142. Accordingly, the Company began, effective as of April 1, 2005, to amortize the cost of the service agreements on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years. At June 30, 2008, the Company held 1,634 service agreements (December 31, 2007 – 1,664) at a cost, net of accumulated amortization of $67,899 (December 31, 2007 - $57,453), of $141,022 (December 31, 2007 - $151,468). | |
5. | Bank indebtedness |
Bank indebtedness represents cheques written in excess of funds on deposit ($26,080) and amounts drawn under a bank credit facility ($245,000) available to a maximum of $500,000. Amounts outstanding under the bank credit facility bear interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 1% and are repayable on demand. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement. 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. The Company is also allowed to draw on the credit facility up to 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the ratio requirements. | |
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the bank required additional security for the credit facility consisting of a pledge of personal property of a significant shareholder. |

Commencing with the acquisition of the service agreements from Telus on May 16, 2003, as described in Note 4 herein and Note 6 in the financial statements in the most recent Form 10-KSB, the Company has organized 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. The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 in the financial statements in the most recent Form 10-KSB. 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1,335,849 and $1,324,311, respectively, an increase of $11,538 or 0.88% . Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2,643,487 and $2,665,921, respectively, a decrease of $22,434 or 0.85% . These three and six month comparative periods were consistent. MESH sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $701,243 and $511,826, respectively, an increase of $189,417 or 37.0% . MESH sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1,378,775 and $1,093,010, respectively, an increase of $285,765 or 26.1% . 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $246,463 and $352,828, respectively, a decrease of $106,365 or 30.1% . Enterphone sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $482,686 and $708,138, respectively, a decrease of $225,452 or 31.8% . As an old technology, Enterphone sales have been dropping for several years and negating much of our MESH growth. 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. With MESH EPX, we can anticipate recovering our lost Enterphone revenue while continuing to increase our MESH business.
Management believes that sales of the MESH product will continue to represent an increasing proportion of total sales relative to sales of our Enterphone products. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, MESH sales were 52.2% and 41.0%, 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 1,634 existing service contracts continue to be steady. On average, each service contract represents ongoing revenues of approximately $33 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $871,282 and $895,949, respectively, a decrease of $24,667 or 2.8% . These sales included MESH sales by the service division.
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 1,634 at June 30, 2008, as compared to 1,664 and 1,687 at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. During the first and second quarter of 2008, the Company performed a test for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) 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 based on the provisions of SFAS 142. 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 June 30, 2008, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $141,022.
Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 40.8% and 41.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 41.2% and 41.6%, respectively. Cost of sales has remained consistent during these two comparative periods. 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $790,402 and $779,837, respectively, an increase of $10,565 or 1.4% . For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gross profit was $1,554,344 and $1,557,165, respectively, a decrease of $2,821 or 0.19% . This marginal
decrease in gross profit corresponds with the consistent sales and cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $720,201 and $707,998, respectively, an increase of $12,203 or 1.7% . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $1,441,601 and $1,357,018, respectively, an increase of $84,583 or 6.2% . The increases during these two comparative periods were due to increases in variable costs such as advertising, tradeshow and various office expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 54.5% and 50.9%, respectively.
Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $86,496 and $81,475, respectively, an increase of $5,021 or 6.2% . Research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $172,817 and $159,828, respectively, an increase of $12,989 or 8.1% . Research and development costs remained consistent during these two comparative periods.
Net loss for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $37,435 and $28,704, respectively, an increase in net loss of $8,731. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $102,778 and $5,344, respectively, an increase in net loss of $97,434. The increase in net loss during these two comparative periods was the result of increased variable costs such as tradeshow, traveling, and various office expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash as of June 30, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007 was $48,304 and $111,173, respectively. Cash as of June 30, 2007 was $211,290. We have a bank credit facility available for an operating loan of up to a maximum of $500,000 at the prime lending rate plus 1.0% . Amounts drawn are repayable on demand. At June 30, 2008, $271,080 was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.
On April 16, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 1,677,550 units at a price of US$0.16 per unit for gross proceeds of US$268,408. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant. Each warrant is exerciseable at a price of US$0.25 per share until April 16, 2012 to acquire an additional share of common stock.
At June 30, 2008, working capital was $263,797, as compared to a working capital of $349,734 at December 31, 2007. Working capital has decreased by $85,937. The current ratio at June 30, 2008 was 1.20 to 1.0, as compared with 1.31 to 1.0 at December 31, 2007.
The accounts receivable turnover ratio at June 30, 2008 was 60 days, as compared 63 days at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. This reflected an improvement of 3 days. The accounts receivable reserve was $246,710 at June 30, 2008, as compared to $223,390 at December 31, 2007. The accounts receivable reserve has increased by $23,320 or 10.4%, since the year ended December 31, 2007. Management identified slower paying accounts to be conservative. 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 six months ended June 30, 2008, there were minimal 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 June 30, 2008.
There are no known trends or uncertainties that will have a material impact on revenues.

Amounts outstanding under the bank credit facility bear interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 1% and are repayable on demand. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement. 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. The Company is also allowed to draw on the credit facility up to 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days. At June 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the ratio requirements.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the bank required additional security for the credit facility consisting of a pledge of personal property of a significant shareholder.
Amounts due to stockholders are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 applies to all financial instruments being measured and reported on a fair value basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued a staff position that delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities except for those recognized or disclosed at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provision of FAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also
establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 are marketable equity available for sale securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Instruments included in this category are warrants and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 includes assets and liabilities whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to adopt the fair value option under this statement.
Other recently issued pronouncements are not expected to be applicable to the Company or have significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Item 4(T). Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
