Nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 |
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. Readers of these statements should read the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 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, 2009 or for any other interim period. | |
The financial information as at September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date included in the Form 10-K. |

2. | New accounting pronouncements |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” which changes how business acquisitions are accounted. SFAS 141R, requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and all liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain, provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent considerations); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in–process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits. SFAS No. 141R was effective for business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances beginning January 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R did not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations. | |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement, an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which establishes new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (NCI) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability; that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The provisions of the standard are to be applied to all NCIs prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. SFAS No. 160 was effective beginning January 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations. |

2. | New accounting pronouncements (cont’d…) |
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful life of Intangible Assets,” (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS No. 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 was effective beginning January 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations. | |
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance for estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity associated with those assets and liabilities has decreased significantly. The guidance also requires the disclosure of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position. | |
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on Subsequent Events. This requires companies to recognize in the financial statements the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. An entity shall disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued. Companies are not permitted to recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued. Some non recognized subsequent events must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading. For such events a company must disclose the nature of the event, an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. This Statement applies prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position. Please see note 13. |

2. | New accounting pronouncements (cont’d…) |
In June 2009, the FASB issued “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 168”. Upon its adoption, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. On the effective date, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Following this, the FASB will not issue new accounting standards in the form of FASB Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force abstracts. This will also modify the existing hierarchy of GAAP to include only two levels — authoritative and non-authoritative. This is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted | |
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for us beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software- enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. | |
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for us beginning July 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements. |

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. The Company is also allowed to draw on the credit facility up to 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days. At September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with debt covenants. | |
7. | Due to stockholders |
Amounts due to stockholders in the amount of $319,402 (2008, $392,402) are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment. | |

12. | 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. | ||
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. | ||
Information as to these reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows: |

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,478,348 and $1,299,280, respectively, an increase of $179,068 or 13.7% . Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3,838,918 and $3,942,767, respectively, a decrease of $103,849 or 2.6% . MESH sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,024,743 and $632,822, respectively, an increase of $391,921 or 61.9% . Mesh sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2,427,684 and $2,011,597, respectively, an increase of $416,087 or 20.6% . 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, 2009 and 2008 were $80,156 and $252,610, respectively, a decrease of $172,454 or 68.2% . Enterphone sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $318,610 and $735,296, a decrease of $416,686 or 56.6% . 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 have been 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, MESH sales were 63.2% and 51.0%, 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 1,587 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, 2009 and 2008, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $1,232,725 and $1,291,045, respectively, a decrease of $58,320 or 4.5% . 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 1,587 at September 30, 2009, as compared to 1,630 and 1,638 at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, respectively. During the three quarters of 2009, 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 September 30, 2009, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $114,907.
Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 41.1% and 46.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of sales and service for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 43.0% and 42.8%, respectively. Cost of sales has increased slightly during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due to the increased cost of materials. 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 September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $870,645 and $701,643, respectively, an increase of $169,002 or 24.0% . For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, gross profit was $2,187,873 and $2,255,987, respectively, a decrease of $68,114 or 3.0% .
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $650,826 and $636,574, respectively, an increase of $14,252 or 2.2% . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,771,724 and $2,092,984 respectively, a decrease of $321,260 or 15.3% . The decrease during these two comparative periods was due to decreases in variable costs such as advertising, tradeshow and various office expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 46.1% and 52.5%, respectively.
Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $71,854 and $78,994, respectively, a decrease of $7,140 or 9.0% . Research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $177,719 and $251,811, respectively, a decrease of $74,092 or 29.4% . Research and development costs have decreased during these two comparative periods, as more MESH project phases have been completed.
Net profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $135,682 and net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $29,308, an increase in profitability of $164,990. Net profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $194,506 and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $132,086, an increase in profitability of $326,592. The increase in profitability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was the result of decreased variable costs such as tradeshow, traveling, and various office expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash as of September 30, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008 was $246,414 and $255,172, respectively. Cash as of September 30, 2008 was $124,773. 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 1.75% . Amounts drawn are repayable on demand. At September 30, 2009, $154,329 was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.
At September 30, 2009, working capital was $527,245, as compared to a working capital of $301,036 at December 31, 2008. Working capital has increased by $226,209. The current ratio at September 30, 2009 was 1.49 to 1.0, as compared with 1.28 to 1.0 at December 31, 2008.
The accounts receivable turnover ratio at September 30, 2009 was 51 days, as compared 61 days at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008. The accounts receivable reserve was $334,838 at September 30, 2009, as compared to $336,776 at December 31, 2008. The accounts receivable reserve has decreased by $1,938 or 0.5%, since the year ended December 31, 2008. These two comparative periods were consistent. 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, 2009, there were minimal capital expenditures.
4
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, 2009.
There are no known trends or uncertainties that will have a material impact on revenues.
