Preliminary Offering Circular

October 17 , 2017

Subject to Completion

 

An Offering Circular pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this Preliminary Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the Offering Circular filed with the Commission is qualified. This Preliminary Offering Circular shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor may there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. We may elect to satisfy our obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale to you that contains the URL where the Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.

 

VIRTRA, INC.

 

$5,000,000 Minimum Offering Amount ( 1,428,571 Shares of Common Stock)

$10,000,000 Maximum Offering Amount ( 2,857,142 Shares of Common Stock)

 

VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), is offering a minimum of 1,428,571 shares of Common Stock and a maximum of 2,857,142 shares of Common Stock (the “Offered Shares”), par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on a “best efforts” basis. The minimum offering amount (“Minimum Offering Amount”) is $5,000,000 and the maximum offering amount (“Maximum Offering Amount”) is $10,000,000. We expect that the fixed initial public offering price per share will be from $3.00 to $4.00 per share upon qualification of the Offering Statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In computing the minimum and maximum number of shares of Common Stock, we assumed an initial public offering price of $3.50 per share of Common Stock, which is the midpoint of the price range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share. This offering will terminate on the date which is ninety (90) days immediately following the date of qualification, subject to extension for up to ninety (90) days with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriters, as defined below; provided that, if we have received and accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Offered Shares on or before the date which is ninety (90) days immediately following the date of qualification, or the end of the ninety (90) day extension, if exercised, then we will close on the minimum offering amount (the “Initial Closing”) and this offering will continue until the earliest of (i) the date which is ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing, or (ii) with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriters, a date which is less than ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing in order to coordinate with the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which the maximum offering amount is sold (such earliest date, the “Termination Date”). If, on the Initial Closing date, we have sold less than the maximum number of Offered Shares, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales (each an “Additional Closing”), up to the maximum number of Offered Shares, and until the Termination Date. Our company and the Underwriters will consider various factors in determining the timing of any Additional Closings, including the amount of proceeds received at the Initial Closing, any Additional Closings that have already been held, the level of additional valid subscriptions received after the Initial Closing, the eligibility of additional investors under applicable laws and coordination with the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock.

 

Until we achieve the minimum offering amount, the proceeds for the offering will be kept in a non-interest bearing account (the “Offering Escrow Account”). Upon achievement of the minimum offering amount and the closing on such amount, the proceeds from the minimum offering amount will be distributed to us and the associated Offered Shares will be issued to the investors. Upon each Additional Closing, if any, the proceeds subject to that Additional Closing will be distributed to us and the associated Offered Shares will be issued to the investors in such Offered Shares. If the offering does not close, the proceeds for the offering will be promptly returned to investors, without deduction and without interest. FinTech Clearing, LLC will serve as the Offering Escrow Account agent. Checks should be made payable to FinTech Clearing, LLC (the “Deposit Account Agent”) as deposit account agent for VirTra, Inc.

 

The minimum purchase requirement per investor is $1,000; however, we can waive the minimum purchase requirement on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. We expect to commence the sale of the Offered Shares as of the date on which the Offering Statement the (“Offering Statement”) of which this Offering Circular is a part, is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQX tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol, “VTSI.” On October 13, 2017, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the OTCQX was $3.00 per share. We intend to apply to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “VTSI” after we register our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), upon the qualification of this offering. Our Common Stock will not commence trading on NASDAQ until a number of conditions are met for us to meet the initial listing requirements of NASDAQ. We will not consummate and close this offering without a listing approval letter from NASDAQ.

 

   -2-  
 

 

We have engaged Boustead Securities, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), as the underwriter (the “Underwriter”) to offer the Offered Shares to prospective investors in the United States on a best efforts basis, and our Underwriter will have the right to engage such other broker-dealers or agents as it determines to assist in such offering.

 

A maximum of $10,000,000 of Offered Shares will be offered worldwide. No sales of Offered Shares will be made anywhere in the world prior to the qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC in the United States. All Offered Shares will be initially offered in all jurisdictions at the same U.S. dollar price that is set forth in this Offering Circular.

 

See “Underwriting” and “Description of Securities” for a description of our capital stock.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we will be subject to reduced public reporting requirements. See “Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status.”

(1) This table depicts broker-dealer commissions of 7% of the gross offering proceeds. Please refer to the section entitled Underwriting” beginning on page 25 of this Offering Circular for additional information regarding total underwriter compensation. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses subject to our prior written consent. We paid the Underwriter an advisory fee, consisting of $25,000 upon the execution of the engagement agreement and $25,000 upon the filing of an application for listing on NASDAQ. We have also agreed to pay up to an additional $75,000 for reimbursement of the Underwriter’s legal counsel fees, subject to certain conditions, and pay up to $25,000 for a third party due diligence report.

 

(2) In computing the minimum and maximum number of shares of Common Stock offered by the Company, we assumed an initial public offering price of $3.50 per share of Common Stock, which is the midpoint of the price range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share. The fixed initial public offering price per share in the range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share will be determined upon qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC. 

 

(3) In addition to the broker-dealer discounts and commissions included in the above table, our Underwriters will have the right to acquire warrants to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 7% of the aggregate shares sold in this offering (“Underwriter Warrants”). The Underwriter Warrants have an exercise price of 120% of the offering price.

 

(4) Does not include estimated offering expenses including, without limitation, legal, accounting, auditing, listing fees, deposit Account Agent, transfer agent, other professional, printing, advertising, travel, marketing, blue-sky compliance and other expenses of this Offering. We estimate the total expenses of this Offering, excluding the Underwriter’s commissions, will be approximately $369,500 (Which includes $150,000 of Underwriters expenses). See “Underwriting” beginning on page 25.

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

In this Offering Circular, unless the context indicates otherwise, “VirTra,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” or “us” refer to VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

 

Our Corporate History

 

VirTra, Inc. is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The original business started in 1993 as Ferris Productions, Inc. In September 2001, Ferris Productions, Inc. merged with GameCom, Inc. to ultimately become VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas Corporation.

 

Effective as of October 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), we completed a conversion from a Texas corporation to a Nevada corporation pursuant to a Redomestication Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) that was approved by our Board of Directors on June 23, 2016 and our shareholders on September 16, 2016. On the Effective Date, 15,855,005 shares of common stock of VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, were converted into 15,855,005 shares of Common Stock of VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation. No shareholders exercised appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the Texas Business Organization Code.

 

As part of the Plan of Conversion, we filed Articles of Incorporation in Nevada whereby we changed our name from VirTra Systems, Inc. to VirTra, Inc. and revised our capitalization. Our Articles of Incorporation filed in Nevada authorize us to issue 125,000,000 shares, of which (1) 120,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of which (a) 100,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001, (b) 5,000,000 shares shall be Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and (c) 15,000,000 shares shall be Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) and (2) 5,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors be issued in one or more series (the “Preferred Stock”). We also adopted new bylaws as part of the Plan of Conversion.

 

Effective October 20, 2016, we effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references to shares of our common stock in Offering Circular refer to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (unless otherwise indicated).

 

Business Overview

 

We develop, sell and support use of force training and marksmanship firearms training systems and accessories for law enforcement, military and civilian use. Our simulators use software, hardware and content to create uniquely effective and realistic training that does not require live ammunition or less-than-lethal munitions, which can both save money and provide certain training capabilities unavailable to live fire exercises. We have developed a higher standard in simulation training including capabilities such as: multi-screen video based scenarios, unique scenario authoring ability, superior training scenarios, the patented Threat-Fire™ shoot-back system, powerful gas-powered simulated recoil weapons, and more.

 

Also, we are engaged in licensing our technology to Modern Round Entertainment Corporation (“MREC”), a developer and operator of a combined dining and entertainment concept centered on an indoor shooting experience.

 

Business Strategy

 

We have four main customer groups, namely, law enforcement, military, educational (includes colleges and police academies), and civilian. These are very different markets and require different sales and marketing programs as well as personnel. Our focus is to expand the market share and scope of our training simulators sales to these identified customer groups by pursuing the following key growth strategies:

 

   -6-  
 

 

  Build Our Core Business. Our goal is to profitably grow our market share by continuing to develop, produce and market the most effective simulators possible. Through disciplined growth in our business, we have achieved a solid balance sheet by increasing our working capital and no bank debt. We plan to add staff to our experienced management team, as needed, to meet the expected increase in demand for our products and services as we increase our marketing and sales activities.
     
  Increase Total Addressable Market. We plan to increase the size of our total addressable market. This effort will focus on new marketing and new product and/or service offerings for the purpose of widening the number of types of customers who might consider our products or services uniquely compelling.
     
  Broaden Product Offerings. Since formation in 1993, our company has had a proud tradition of innovation in the field of simulation and virtual reality. We plan to release revolutionary new products and services as well as continue incremental improvements to existing product lines. In some cases, the company may enter a new market segment via the introduction of a new type of product or service.
     
  Partners and Acquisitions. We try to spend our time and funds wisely and not tackle tasks that can be done more efficiently with partners. For example, international distribution is often best accomplished through a local distributor or agent. We are also open to the potential of acquiring additional businesses or of being acquired ourselves, based on what is expected to be optimal for our long-term future and our shareholders.

 

Simulator Product Offerings

 

Our simulator products include the following:

 

  V-300™ Simulator – a 300° wrap-around screen with video capability is the higher standard for simulation training
     
  V-180™ Simulator – a 180° screen with video capability is for smaller spaces or smaller budgets
     
  V-100™ Simulator – a single-screen based simulator system
     
  The V-100™ MIL is sold to various military commands throughout the world and can support any local language. The system is extremely compact and can even share space with a standard classroom or squeeze into almost any existing facility. If a portable firearms simulator is needed, this model offers the most compact single-screen simulator on the market today – everything organized into one standard case.
     
  V-ST™ Simulator – a highly-realistic single screen simulated shooting range simulator with the ability to scale to multiple screens
     
  Top Subject Matter Expert Content – content supplied with our simulators is approved by top training experts
     
  V-Author™ Software – allows users to create, edit, and train with content specific to agency’s objectives
     
  Simulated Recoil – a wide range of highly realistic and reliable simulated recoil kits/weapons
     
  Return Fire Device – the patented Threat-Fire™ device which applies real-world stress on the trainees during simulation training

 

Our Board of Directors

 

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, Robert D. Ferris, Matthew Burlend, Jeffrey Brown, Mitchell A. Saltz, and Jim Richardson who are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. Our board of directors has ultimate responsibility for our operations, corporate governance, compliance and disclosure. The number of directors are fixed by our board of directors, subject to our articles of incorporation and our bylaws.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

Our board of directors has a Chairman, Mr. Ferris. The Chairman has authority, among other things, to preside over board of director’s meetings and set the agenda for board of director’s meetings. We currently have three independent board members, Messrs. Brown, Saltz and Richardson.

 

   -7-  
 

 

Board Committees

 

Our board of directors has established three standing committees —audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance —each of which operate under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors. Messrs. Brown, Saltz and Richardson serve as independent members on each of our audit committee, compensation committee and governance committee in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

Risks Affecting Us

 

An investment in the Offered Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section immediately following this Offering Circular Summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  our dependence on government contracts for substantially all of our revenues;
     
  intense competition;
     
  our inability to anticipate customer preferences or to effectively identify, market and sell future products;
     
  assertions by third parties of infringement or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights.
     
  our dependence on our executive officers;
     
  our inability to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
     
  costs incurred and substantial management time devoted as a result of operating as a public company; and
     
  volatility of the price of our Common Stock.

 

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

 

Emerging Growth Company. We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of all of these exemptions.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until those standards are applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

 

We could be an emerging growth company until the last day of the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first common equity offering, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier if our annual revenues exceed $1.0 billion, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in any three-year period, or if we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

Smaller Reporting Company. We also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company at such time as we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings some of which are similar to those of an emerging growth company, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

RISK FACTORS

 

The purchase of the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Each prospective investor should consult his, her or its own counsel, accountant and other advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial, and related aspects of an investment in the securities offered hereby. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following specific risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this Offering Circular, before purchasing the securities offered hereby.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We depend on government contracts for substantially all of our revenues and the loss of government contracts or a delay or decline in funding of existing or future government contracts could decrease our backlog or adversely affect our sales and cash flows and our ability to fund our growth.

 

Our revenues from contracts, directly or indirectly, with foreign and U.S. state, regional and local governmental agencies represented substantially all of our total revenues in fiscal year 2016. Although these various government agencies are subject to common budgetary pressures and other factors, many of our various government customers exercise independent purchasing decisions. As a result of the concentration of business with governmental agencies, we are vulnerable to adverse changes in our revenues, income and cash flows if a significant number of our government contracts, subcontracts or prospects are delayed or canceled for budgetary or other reasons.

 

The factors that could cause us to lose these contracts and could decrease our backlog or otherwise materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations include:

 

  budget constraints affecting government spending generally, or specific departments or agencies such as U.S. or foreign defense and transit agencies and regional transit agencies, and changes in fiscal policies or a reduction of available funding;
     
  re-allocation of government resources as the result of actual or threatened terrorism or hostile activities or for other reasons;
     
  disruptions in our customers’ ability to access funding from capital markets;

 

   -11-  
 

 

  curtailment of governments’ use of outsourced service providers and governments’ in-sourcing of certain services;
     
  the adoption of new laws or regulations pertaining to government procurement;
     
  government appropriations delays or blanket reductions in departmental budgets;
     
  suspension or prohibition from contracting with the government or any significant agency with which we conduct business;
     
  increased use of shorter duration awards, which increases the frequency we may need to recompete for work;
     
  impairment of our reputation or relationships with any significant government agency with which we conduct business;
     
  decreased use of small business set asides or changes to the definition of small business by government agencies;
     
  increased use of lowest-priced, technically acceptable contract award criteria by government agencies;
     
  increased aggressiveness by the government in seeking rights in technical data, computer software, and computer software documentation that we deliver under a contract, which may result in “leveling the playing field” for competitors on follow-on procurements;
     
  impairment of our ability to provide third-party guarantees and letters of credit; and
     
  delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices.

 

Government spending priorities and terms may change in a manner adverse to our businesses.

 

A significant percentage of our revenue comes from domestic and foreign police forces. If these government entities have to cut their budgets, it is possible that we will lose this source of revenue, which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We are working at diversifying our business so that we are not as dependent, but there is no assurance that we will be successful at doing so.

 

Intense competition could negatively impact our sales and operating results.

 

Our products are sold in highly competitive markets with limited barriers to entry. We compete against a number of established companies that provide similar products and services, some of which have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources significantly greater than ours. There are also companies whose products do not compete directly, but are sometimes closely related to the products we offer. Meggitt Training Systems, Arotech, Inc., Ti Training Corp., Cubic, Inc. and Laser Shot, Inc. are our main competitors in some or all of our markets.

 

We believe that our products and services are superior to those offered by our competitors based on our strength in developing higher quality software solutions and our extensive library of training scenario content that would require a substantial investment by a competitor to offer a comparable product. The introduction by competitors of lower-priced or more innovative products could, however, result in a significant decline in our revenues and have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

 

If we are unable to anticipate customer preferences or to effectively identify, market and sell future products, our future revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to effectively identify, market and sell new products that respond to new and evolving customer preferences. Accordingly, our revenues and operating results may be adversely affected if we are unable to identify or acquire rights to new products that satisfy customer preferences. In addition, any new products that we market may not generate sufficient revenues to recoup their identification, development, acquisition, marketing, selling and other costs.

 

   -12-  
 

 

Decline in state and local government spending would likely negatively affect our product revenues and earnings.

 

Success of each of the products we plan to sell depends substantially on the amount of funds budgeted by state and local government agencies that make up our current and potential customers. Global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme disruptions in the recent past, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that similar disruptions will not occur in the future. Deterioration in general economic conditions may result in lower tax revenues that could lead to reductions in government spending, especially spending for discretionary simulation training products such as ours. Poor economic conditions could in turn lead to substantial decreases in our net sales or have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

 

We may not be able to receive or retain the necessary licenses or authorizations required for us to export or re-export our products, technical data or services, or to transfer technology from foreign sources and to work collaboratively with them. Denials of such licenses and authorizations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

U.S. regulations concerning export controls require us to screen potential customers, destinations, and technology to ensure that sensitive equipment, technology and services are not exported in violation of U.S. policy or diverted to improper uses or users. In order for us to export certain products, technical data or services, we are required to obtain licenses from the U.S. government, often on a transaction-by-transaction basis. These licenses are generally required for the export of the military versions of our products and technical data and for defense services. We cannot be sure of our ability to obtain the U.S. government licenses or other approvals required to export our products, technical data and services for sales to foreign governments, foreign commercial customers or foreign destinations.

 

In addition, in order for us to obtain certain technical know-how from foreign vendors and to collaborate on improvements on such technology with foreign vendors, we may need to obtain U.S. government approval for such collaboration through manufacturing license or technical assistance agreements approved by U.S. government export control agencies. The U.S. government has the right, without notice, to revoke or suspend export licenses and authorizations for reasons of foreign policy, issues over which we have no control. Failure to receive required licenses or authorizations would hinder our ability to export our products, data and services and to use some advanced technology from foreign sources. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our failure to comply with export control rules could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our failure to comply with the export control rules described above could expose us to significant criminal or civil enforcement action by the U.S. government, and a conviction could result in denial of export privileges, as well as contractual suspension or debarment under U.S. government contracts, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

 

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in the foreign countries where we sell our products and services. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

   -13-  
 

 

We may face competition from providers of comparable products. Increased competition in those product categories could negatively affect our future revenues and operating results.

 

Since we will not be the only seller and since we have a limited number of patents, the introduction of comparable products designed to compete with our products may increase in the future. With so much focus on homeland security and terrorism, it is possible that more companies will enter our business and sell new and/or innovative training tools. One area of particular concern is new virtual reality (VR) hardware and software. If other companies are able to create new training tools that are more realistic or effective, we may not be able to compete effectively. Introduction by competitors of comparable products, a maturing product lifecycle or other factors could result in a decline in our revenues derived from these products. A significant decline in our sales of these products, without offsetting sales gains, would have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

 

We operate in a highly competitive market and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, resulting in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our revenues and gross profit.

 

The markets for law enforcement, military, educational and commercial simulation training are highly competitive and include many new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies expanding their production and marketing of performance products. Despite owning patents, trademarks and copyrights, our current and future competitors could manufacture and sell products with performance characteristics and functionality similar to the products we sell and that we plan to sell. Some of our competitors are large companies with strong worldwide brand recognition, such as Cubic and Meggitt that have significantly greater financial, distribution, marketing and other resources than we do. Some of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including longer operating histories, larger sales forces, bigger advertising budgets, better brand recognition, greater economies of scale and long-term relationships with key military customers that are potentially highly valuable because of the significant volume that our competitors sell to them.

 

As a result, these competitors may be better equipped than we are to influence customer preferences or otherwise increase their market share by:

 

  quickly adapting to changes in customer requirements;
     
  readily taking advantage of acquisition and other opportunities;
     
  discounting excess inventory that has been written down or written off;
     
  devoting resources to the marketing and sale of their products, including significant advertising, media placement and product endorsement;
     
  adopting aggressive pricing policies; and
     
  engaging in lengthy and costly intellectual property and other disputes.

 

Some of the components of our products pose potential safety risks which could create potential liability exposure for us.

 

Some of the components of our products contain elements that may pose potential safety risks. In addition to these risks, there can be no assurance that accidents in the facilities that use our products will not occur. Any accident, whether occasioned by the use of all or any part of our products or technology or by our customers’ operations, could adversely affect commercial acceptance of our products and could result in claims for damages resulting from injuries or death. Any of these occurrences would materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition. In the event that our products fail to perform as specified, users of these products may assert claims for substantial amounts. These claims could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. There is no assurance that the amount of the general product liability insurance that we maintain will be sufficient to cover potential claims or that the present amount of insurance can be maintained at the present level of cost, or at all.

 

Assertions by third parties of infringement or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and operating results.

 

Companies engaged in the sales of products are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights. Some companies, including some of our competitors, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, which they may use to assert claims against us. Third parties may in the future assert that we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights. Existing laws and regulations are evolving and subject to different interpretations, and various federal and state legislative or regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws or regulations. We cannot guarantee you that we are not infringing or violating any third-party intellectual property rights.

 

   -14-  
 

 

We cannot predict whether assertions of third-party intellectual property rights or any infringement or misappropriation claims arising from such assertions will substantially harm our business and operating results. If we are forced to defend against any infringement or misappropriation claims, we may be required to expend significant time and financial resources on the defense of such claims, even if without merit, settled out of court, or determined in our favor. Furthermore, an adverse outcome of a dispute may require us to: pay damages, potentially including treble damages and attorneys’ fees, if we are found to have willfully infringed a party’s intellectual property; cease making, licensing or using products or services that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others; expend additional development resources to redesign our products; enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies or materials; or to indemnify our partners and other third parties. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required or desirable, may be unavailable on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may require significant royalty payments and other expenditures. In addition, we do not carry broadly applicable patent liability insurance and any lawsuits regarding patent rights, regardless of their success, could be expensive to resolve and would divert the time and attention of our management and technical personnel.

 

Our business is dependent on proprietary rights that may be difficult to protect and could affect our ability to compete effectively.

 

Our ability to compete effectively will depend on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and content through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements and licensing arrangements.

 

Litigation, or participation in administrative proceedings, may be necessary to protect our proprietary rights. This type of litigation can be costly and time consuming and could divert company resources and management attention to defend our rights, and this could harm us even if we were to be successful in the litigation and there is no guarantee we would be successful in such litigation. In the absence of patent protection, and despite our reliance upon our proprietary confidential information, our competitors may be able to use innovations similar to those used by us to design and manufacture products directly competitive with our products. In addition, no assurance can be given that others will not obtain patents that we will need to license or design around. To the extent any of our products are covered by third-party patents, we could need to acquire a license under such patents to develop and market our products.

 

Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we may not be successful in doing so. In addition, competition is intense, and there can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. In the event of patent litigation, we cannot assure you that a court would determine that we were the first creator of inventions covered by our issued patents or pending patent applications or that we were the first to file patent applications for those inventions. If existing or future third-party patents containing broad claims were upheld by the courts or if we were found to infringe third-party patents, we may not be able to obtain the required licenses from the holders of such patents on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain these licenses could cause delays in the introduction of our products or necessitate costly attempts to design around such patents, or could foreclose the development, manufacture or sale of our products. We could also incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in patent infringement suits brought by others and in prosecuting patent infringement suits against infringers.

 

We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our customers, employees, consultants, and entities with which we maintain strategic relationships. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.

 

   -15-  
 

 

We depend on our executive officers, the loss of whom could materially harm our business.

 

We rely upon the accumulated knowledge, skills and experience of our executive officers and significant employees. Our Chief Executive Officer, Robert Ferris, built our business from inception and, along with other members of the management team, are responsible for many of the products and clients that we have today. If they were to leave us or become incapacitated, we might suffer in our planning and execution of business strategy and operations, impacting our financial results. We also do not maintain any key man life insurance policies for any of our employees.

 

If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Common Stock may decline.

 

As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. Further, we will be required to report any changes in internal controls on a quarterly basis. In addition, we will be required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will design, implement, and test the internal controls over financial reporting required to comply with these obligations. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of the Common Stock could be negatively affected. We also could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which the securities are listed, the Commission, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

  have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
     
  comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
     
  submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency”; and
     
  disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

   -16-  
 

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the price of our securities may be more volatile.

 

As an emerging growth company, our auditor is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting while we are an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company as defined under rules promulgated by the SEC. This means that the effectiveness of our financial operations may differ from our peer companies in that they may be required to obtain independent registered public accounting firm attestations as to the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting and we are not. While our management will be required to attest to internal control over financial reporting and we will be required to detail changes to our internal controls on a quarterly basis, we cannot provide assurance that the independent registered public accounting firm’s review process in assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, if obtained, would not find one or more material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Further, once we cease to be an emerging growth company and no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company, we will be subject to independent registered public accounting firm attestation regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Even if management finds such controls to be effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may decline to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and issue a qualified report.

 

If we become a public company (reporting under the Exchange Act), we will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

 

If we become a company with an obligation to file reports with the SEC under Exchange Act after we register our common stock under the Exchange Act upon the qualification of this offering, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company whose shares were quoted on the OTC Markets. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act imposes various requirements on public companies including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur to meet our additional disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act or the timing of such costs.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, we will be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting the later of our second annual report on Form 10-K or the first annual report on Form 10-K following the date on which we are no longer an emerging growth company and no longer qualify as a smaller reporting company. Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts including hiring additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

 

Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and comply with Section 404 requires us to be able to prepare timely and accurate financial statements. We expect that we will need to continue to improve existing, and implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to manage our business effectively. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new or enhanced systems, procedures or controls, may cause our operations to suffer and we may be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective and to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our auditors as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This, in turn, could have an adverse impact on trading prices for our Common Stock, and could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets.

 

   -17-  
 

 

If we do not become a public company, compliance with Regulation A and reporting to the SEC could be costly, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to the compliance requirements of Regulation A.

 

If we do not become a public company, compliance with Regulation A could be costly and requires legal and accounting expertise. Because the new rules implementing Title IV of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 took effect in June 2015, we have no experience complying with the new provisions of Regulation A or making the public filings required by the rule. Besides qualifying this Form 1-A, we must file an annual report on Form 1-K, a semiannual report on Form 1-SA, and current reports on Form 1-U.

 

Our legal and financial staff may need to be increased in order to comply with Regulation A. Compliance with Regulation A will also require greater expenditures on outside counsel, outside auditors, and financial printers in order to remain in compliance. Failure to remain in compliance with Regulation A may subject us to sanctions, penalties, and reputational damage and would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Risks Relating to Our Stock and this Offering

 

We may not satisfy NASDAQ’s initial listing standards and, even if we do, we may experience a delay in the initial trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

 

We intend to apply to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “VTSI.” Our Common Stock will not commence trading on NASDAQ until a number of conditions are met, including that we have raised the minimum amount of offering proceeds necessary for us to meet the initial listing requirements of NASDAQ. There is no guarantee that we will be able to sell a sufficient number of shares to raise the required minimum amount of offering proceeds. Assuming we sell a sufficient number of shares to list on NASDAQ, we expect trading to commence following the Termination Date of this offering. However, we may wait before terminating the offering and commencing the trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ in order to raise additional proceeds. In addition, in order to list, we will be required to, among other things, file with the SEC a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, and then file an SEC Form 8-A in order to register our shares under the Exchange Act. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee that such amendment will be qualified quickly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause a delay in the initial trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ. For all of the foregoing reasons, you may experience a delay between the closing of your purchase of our Common Stock and the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock.

 

Investors may have to wait up to ninety (90) days from the date of their investment before obtaining the shares of Common Stock purchased in this offering.

 

If and when we consummate an Initial Closing, the offering will continue until a date which is the earliest of: (i) ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing; or (ii) with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriters, a date which is less than ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing in order to coordinate with the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock; or (iii) the date on which the maximum offering amount is sold. Additionally, in its discretion, the Company may elect to not hold another closing following the Initial Closing. Accordingly, any investors that invest in this offering after the Initial Closing may not receive shares of Common Stock until ninety (90) days after such investment is made, or not at all if there are no closings after the Initial Closing (in which case outstanding investment amounts will be returned, without deduction and generally without interest). During this period you will not have access to your investment, nor will you have shares of Common Stock.

 

   -18-  
 

 

NASDAQ may delist our Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit stockholders’ ability to trade our Common Stock.

 

In the event we are able to list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ will require us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our Common Stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If our Common Stock is delisted and we are not able to list our Common Stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

 

Our Common Stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

 

The market price of our Common Stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our Common Stock could be volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

 

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, including the loss of a large or key customer or vendor;
     
  the absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
     
  we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held;
     
  overall stock market fluctuations;
     
  announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors;
     
  actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
     
  conditions or trends in the industry;
     
  litigation;
     
  changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
     
  future sales of Common Stock;
     
  departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
     
  general market conditions.

 

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for the Offered Shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase or in the future.

 

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for our Shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our board of directors has determined the offering price in our sole discretion. The fixed offering price for the Offered Shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our Company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for the Offered Shares may not be supported by the current value of our Company or our assets at any particular time.

 

   -19-  
 

 

Because our officers and board of directors will make all management decisions, you should only purchase our securities if you are comfortable entrusting our directors to make all decisions.

 

Our board of directors will have the sole right to make all decisions with respect to our management. Investors will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific projects that will be financed with future operating income. You should not purchase our securities unless you are willing to entrust all aspects of our management to our officers and directors.

 

We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise necessary additional capital, our business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may be materially adversely affected.

 

As an emerging growth company, we will need to secure adequate funding for opportunities we may encounter. Such opportunities may include acquiring complementary businesses, securing new marketing and sales opportunities, giving bonuses to employees to reward them for past service and incentivize them for future successes. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow more money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail our operations and our business could fail.

 

Our issuance of additional Common Stock in exchange for services or to repay debt would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights and could have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

We may generally issue shares of Common Stock and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants to pay for debt or services, without further approval by our stockholders based upon such factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is possible that we will issue additional shares of Common Stock under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.

 

Our management team will have immediate and broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our offering and we may use the net proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

The net proceeds from our offering will be immediately available to our management to use at their discretion. We anticipate that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the following purposes in the following order: (a) first towards the fees and expenses (legal, auditing, accounting, transfer agent and financial printer) associated with qualification of Offering under Regulation A; and (b) second towards the implementation of our business plan, including but not limited to, (i) research and development, (ii) expansion of our product line, and (iii) sales and marketing activities; and (c) the balance of capital raised for general corporate purposes, including working capital, sales and marketing activities and general and administrative purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us or our stockholders. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operation.

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the approximately 15,855,178 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of October 16, 2017, approximately 15,132,143 shares are tradable without restriction. In addition, all of the shares of Common Stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our affiliates as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Given the limited trading of our Common Stock, resale of even a small number of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

   -20-  
 

 

Our equity incentive plan allows us to issue stock options and award shares of our Common Stock. We may in the future create additional equity incentive plans, which may at that time require us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the issuance of shares upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted or otherwise purchased under those plans. As a result, any shares issued or granted under the plans may be freely tradable in the public market. If equity securities are issued under the plans, if implemented, and it is perceived that they will be sold in the public market, then the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially.

 

No holders of any shares of our Common Stock have rights to require us to file registration statements for the public resale of such shares.

 

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation’s disinterested stockholders. Further, our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue additional series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

 

We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock and have no plans to do so in the future.

 

Holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our Common Stock may have will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of Common Stock. See “Dividend Policy.”

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We anticipate that the net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the following purposes in the following order: (a) first towards the fees and expenses (legal, auditing, accounting, listing fees, transfer agent and financial printer) associated with qualification of Offering under Regulation A; and (b) second towards the implementation of our business plan, including but not limited to, (i) research and development, (ii) expansion of our product line, and (iii) sales and marketing activities; and (c) the balance of capital raised for general corporate purposes, including working capital, sales and marketing activities and general and administrative purposes. In the event that we sell less than the maximum shares offered in the Offering, our first priority is to pay fees associated with the qualification of this Offering under Regulation A. No proceeds will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to officers or directors except for ordinary payments under employment or consulting agreements.

 

The proceeds of this Offering will be $10,000,000 if all of the Shares offered hereunder are purchased. However, we cannot guarantee that we will sell all of the Shares we are offering.

  other factors as were deemed relevant.

 

DILUTION

 

Dilution is the amount by which the offering price paid by purchasers of Common Stock sold in this offering will exceed the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after the offering. As of June 30, 2017, our net tangible book value was approximately $10,045,679, or $0.60 per share, assuming the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants to purchase Common Stock. Net tangible book value is the value of our total tangible assets less total liabilities.

 

Based on an assumed initial offering price of $3.50 per one share of Common Stock, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this Offering Circular, on an as adjusted basis as of June 30, 2017, after giving effect to the offering of shares of Common Stock and the application of the related net proceeds, our net tangible book value would be:

 

(i) $18,976,179, or $1.01 per share of Common Stock, assuming the sale of 100% of the shares offered (2,857,142 shares) with net proceeds in the amount of $8,930,500 after deducting estimated broker commissions of $700,000 and estimated offering expenses of $369,500;

 

(ii) $16,663,679, or $0.93 per share of Common Stock, assuming the sale of 75% of the shares offered (2,142,857 shares) with net proceeds in the amount of $6,618,000 after deducting estimated broker commissions of $525,000 and estimated offering expenses of $357,000; and

 

(iii) $14,351,179, or $0.83 per share of Common Stock, assuming the sale of 50% of the shares offered (1,428,571 shares) with net proceeds in the amount of $4,305,500 after deducting estimated broker commissions of $350,000 and estimated offering expenses of $344,500.

  Purchasers of shares of Common Stock in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share for financial accounting purposes, as illustrated in the following table on an approximate dollar per share basis, depending upon whether we sell 100%, 75% or 50% of the shares being offered in this offering:

 

Percentage of offering shares of Common Stock sold     100%       75%       50%  
Assumed offering price per share of Common Stock (1)   $ 3.50     $ 3.50     $ 3.50  
Net tangible book value per share of Common Stock before this offering   $  0.64     $ 0.64      $ 0.64   
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors   $ 0.37      $ 0.29      $ 0.19   
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering   $ 1.01      $ 0.93      $ 0.83   
Immediate dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors   $ 2.49      $ 2.57      $ 2.67

UNDERWRITING

 

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter, with respect to the shares of our Common Stock in this offering. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to issue and sell to the public through the Underwriters, and the Underwriters has agreed to offer and sell, up to 2,857,142 shares of our Common Stock, on a best efforts basis.

 

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the Underwriter to arrange for the offer and sale of the shares of our Common Stock, on a best efforts basis, is subject to certain conditions precedent. The Underwriter is under no obligation to purchase any shares of our Common Stock for its own account. As a “best efforts” offering, there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated, or even if consummated that we will in fact obtain a listing on NASDAQ. The Underwriter may, but is not obligated to, retain other selected dealers that are qualified to offer and sell the shares and that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The Underwriter proposes to offer the shares to investors at the public offering price, and will receive cash equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross amount to be disbursed to the Company. The gross proceeds of this offering will be deposited in an Offering Deposit Account established by us, until we have sold a minimum of 1,428,571 shares of Common Stock and otherwise satisfy the listing conditions to trade our Common Stock on NASDAQ.

 

This offering will terminate on the date which is ninety (90) days immediately following the date of qualification, subject to extension for up to ninety (90) days with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriters; provided that, if we have received and accepted subscriptions for the minimum number of Offered Shares on or before the date which is ninety (90) days immediately following the date of qualification, or the end of the ninety (90) day extension, if exercised, then we will close on the minimum offering amount (the “Initial Closing”) and this offering will continue until the earliest of (i) the date which is ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing, or (ii) with the mutual agreement of us and our Underwriters, a date which is less than ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing in order to coordinate with the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock, or (iii) the date on which the maximum offering amount is sold. Once we satisfy the minimum stock sale and NASDAQ listing conditions, the funds will be released to us less offering expenses, including but not limited to, underwriter’s fees and expenses.

 

We intend to apply to NASDAQ to list shares our Common Stock under the symbol “VTSI.” In order to list, we will have to comply with NASDAQ listing standards and approval from NASDAQ will be conditional upon meeting these listing standards. We expect our Common Stock to begin trading on NASDAQ upon the consummation of the Offering.

Total minimum offering   $ 5,000,000     $       $

We have agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for expenses incurred relating to the offering, including all actual fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with, among other things, due diligence costs, which shall not exceed $25,000, and the fees and expenses of the Underwriter’s counsel, which shall not exceed $75,000. We have also agreed to pay the Underwriters an advisory fee of $50,000 paid or payable as follows: $25,000 upon the execution of the engagement agreement and $25,000 upon the filing of an application for listing on NASDAQ. We estimate that the total expenses of this offering (including the foregoing expenses set forth in this paragraph), excluding underwriting commissions described above, will be approximately $369,500.

 

As additional compensation to the Underwriter, upon consummation of this offering, we will issue to the Underwriter or its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock equal to 7% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in this offering, at an exercise price per share equal to 120% of the initial public offering price (the “Underwriter Warrants”). The Underwriter Warrants and the underlying shares of Common Stock will not be exercised, sold, transferred, assigned, or hypothecated or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Underwriter Warrants by any person for a period of 180 days from the qualification date of the offering circular for this offering in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110. The Underwriter Warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of the qualification date of the offering, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G)(i).

The Underwriter may agree to allocate a number of shares to selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the Underwriter and selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

 

We have agreed that we will not: (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of our company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of our company; (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of our company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of our company; or (iii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of our company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of our company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case without the prior consent of the Underwriter for a period of twelve months after the date of this Offering Circular, other than (A) the shares of our Common Stock to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance by us of shares of our Common Stock upon the exercise of a stock option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date of this offering, hereafter issued pursuant to our currently existing or hereafter adopted equity compensation plans or employment or consulting agreements or arrangements of which the Underwriters have been advised in writing or which have been filed with the Commission or (C) the issuance by us of stock options or shares of capital stock of our company under any currently existing or hereafter adopted equity compensation plan or employment/consulting agreements or arrangements of our company. There are exceptions to these restrictions if our price per share exceeds certain amounts for a five-day period.

 

Mr. Ferris, our Chief Executive Officer, has entered into a lock-up agreement with the Underwriter. Under the lock-up agreement, subject to certain exceptions, Mr. Ferris may not, without the prior written approval of the Underwriter, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or hedge our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Common Stock. These restrictions will be in effect for a period of approximately one year after the date of this Offering Circular.

 

   -26-  
 

 

The underwriting agreement provides that we will indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments the Underwriter may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

We intend to apply to have our Common Stock approved for listing on NASDAQ under the symbol “VTSI.” If the application is approved, trading of our Common Stock on NASDAQ is expected to begin within five days after the date of initial issuance of the Common Stock. We will not consummate and close this offering without a listing approval letter from NASDAQ. Our receipt of a listing approval letter is not the same as an actual listing on NASDAQ. The listing approval letter will serve only to confirm that, if we sell a number of shares in this best efforts offering sufficient to satisfy applicable listing criteria, our Common Stock will in fact be listed.

 

We intend to market the Offered Shares in this Offering, in whole or in part, through the FlashFunders™ online platform located at http://www.flashfunders.com (the “Platform”) operated by FlashFunders, Inc. (collectively, with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “FlashFunders”), where this Offering Circular will be posted.

ERISA Considerations

 

Special considerations apply when contemplating the purchase of Shares of our common stock on behalf of employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA, and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”). A person considering the purchase of the Offered Shares on behalf of a Plan is urged to consult with tax and ERISA counsel regarding the effect of such purchase and, further, to determine that such a purchase will not result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, the Code or a violation of some other provision of ERISA, the Code or other applicable law. We will rely on such determination made by such persons, although no Shares of our common stock will be sold to any Plans if management believes that such sale will result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

 

Marketability

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQX tier of the OTC Markets. The OTC Markets is maintained by OTC Market Group, Inc. The securities traded on the OTC Markets are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, these securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. Over-the-counter stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

Notwithstanding our Common Stock being quoted on the OTC Markets, a purchaser of the Offered Shares may not be able to resell them. Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our Common Stock because they will be considered penny stocks and will be subject to the penny stock rules. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on FINRA brokers-dealers who make a market in a “penny stock.” A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transactions is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

 

   -27-  
 

 

The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the Offered Shares and impede the sale of our Offered Shares in the secondary market, assuming one develops.

 

Foreign Regulatory Restrictions on Purchase of the Offered Shares

 

We have not taken any action to permit a public offering of our Offered Shares outside the United States or to permit the possession or distribution of this prospectus outside the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to this offering of Offered Shares and the distribution of the prospectus outside the United States.

We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions. Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

 

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited, non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

 

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your Net Worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Offered Shares.

 

In order to purchase Offered Shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to our satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

 

Non-U.S. investors may participate in this Offering by depositing their funds in the Offering Deposit Account held at Pacific Western Bank. Any such funds that the Deposit Account Agent receives shall be held on deposit until the applicable closing of the Offering or such other time as mutually agreed between the Company and the Underwriter, and then used to complete securities purchases, or returned if this Offering fails to close.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared or paid dividends on our Common Stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our Common Stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our Common Stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not anticipate paying dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly public trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Corporate History

 

We are a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The original business started in 1993 as Ferris Productions, Inc. In September 2001, Ferris Productions, Inc. merged with GameCom, Inc. to ultimately become VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas Corporation.

 

Effective as of October 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), we completed a conversion from a Texas corporation to a Nevada corporation pursuant to a Redomestication Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) that was approved by our Board of Directors on June 23, 2016 and our shareholders on September 16, 2016. On the Effective Date, 15,855,005 shares of common stock of VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, were converted into 15,855,005 shares of Common Stock of VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation. No shareholders exercised appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the Texas Business Organization Code.

 

   -30-  
 

 

As part of the Plan of Conversion, we filed Articles of Incorporation in Nevada whereby we changed our name from VirTra Systems, Inc. to VirTra, Inc. and revised our capitalization. Our Articles of Incorporation filed in Nevada authorize us to issue 125,000,000 shares, of which (1) 120,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of which (a) 100,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001, (b) 5,000,000 shares shall be Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and (c) 15,000,000 shares shall be Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) and (2) 5,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors be issued in one or more series (the “Preferred Stock”). We also adopted new bylaws as part of the Plan of Conversion.

 

Effective October 20, 2016, we affected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references to shares of our common stock in Offering Circular refer to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (unless otherwise indicated).

 

Business Overview

 

We develop, sell and support use of force training and marksmanship firearms training systems and accessories for law enforcement, military, educational or civilian use. Our simulators use software, hardware and content to create uniquely effective and realistic training that does not require live ammunition or less-than-lethal munitions, which can both save money and provide certain training capabilities unavailable to live fire exercises. We have developed a higher standard in simulation training including capabilities such as: multi-screen video based scenarios, unique scenario authoring ability, superior training scenarios, the patented Threat-Fire™ shoot-back system, powerful gas-powered simulated recoil weapons, and more.

 

The VirTra simulator allows marksmanship and realistic scenario based training to take place on a daily basis without the need for a shooting range, protective equipment, role players, safety officers, or a scenario based training site. The simulator also allows students to receive immediate feedback from the instructor without the potential for sustaining injuries by the instructor or the students. The instructor is able to teach and re-mediate critical issues, while placing realistic stress on the students due to the realism and safe training environment created by the VirTra simulator.

 

We also are engaged in licensing our technology to Modern Round Entertainment Corporation (“MREC”), a developer and operator of a combined dining and entertainment concept centered on an indoor shooting experience (the “MREC Concept”).

 

Business Strategy

 

We have four main customer groups, namely, law enforcement, military, educational (includes colleges and police academies) and civilian. These are very different markets and require different sales and marketing programs as well as personnel. Our focus is to expand the market share and scope of our training simulators sales to these identified customer groups by pursuing the following key growth strategies:

 

  Build Our Core Business. Our goal is to profitably grow our market share by continuing to develop, produce and market the most effective simulators possible. Through disciplined growth in our business, we have achieved a solid balance sheet by increasing our working capital and limiting our bank debt. We plan to add staff to our experienced management team as needed to meet the expected increase in demand for our products and services as we increase our marketing and sales activities.
     
  Increase Total Addressable Market. We plan to increase the size of our total addressable market. This effort will focus on new marketing and new product and/or service offerings for the purpose of widening the number of types of customers who might consider our products or services uniquely compelling.

 

   -31-  
 

 

  Broaden Product Offerings. Since formation in 1993, our company has had a proud tradition of innovation in the field of simulation and virtual reality. We plan to release revolutionary new products and services as well as continue incremental improvements to existing product lines. In some cases, the company may enter a new market segment via the introduction of a new type of product or service.
     
  Partners and Acquisitions. We try to spend our time and funds wisely and not tackle tasks that can be done more efficiently with partners. For example, international distribution is often best accomplished through a local distributor or agent. We are also open to the potential of acquiring additional businesses or of being acquired ourselves, based on what is expected to be optimal for our long-term future and our shareholders.

Modern Round

 

On the civilian side, we have a Co-venture agreement with Modern Round, Inc. (formerly, Modern Round, LLC) (“Modern Round”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Modern Round Entertainment Corporation (“MREC”), a developer and operator of a combined dining and entertainment concept centered on an indoor shooting experience. MREC plans to roll out its entertainment concept nationally and currently operates one virtual shooting lounge facility in Peoria, Arizona. Under the terms of the agreement, we granted Modern Round an exclusive, non-transferable royalty-bearing right and license to use our software in virtual shooting lounge facilities provided that certain minimums are met every year. See “Description of Business – Modern Round Co-Venture Agreement.”

 

Operations and Suppliers

 

We produce some of our own products. We also rely on a variety of suppliers. Management does not expect to encounter future delays with suppliers that would have a material impact on us. However, supplier delays would adversely affect us.

 

Competition and Competitive Landscape

 

We compete against a number of established companies that provide similar products and services, some of which have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources significantly greater than ours. There are also companies whose products do not compete directly, but are sometimes closely related to the products we offer. Meggitt Training Systems, Arotech, Inc., Ti Training Corp., Cubic, Inc. and Laser Shot, Inc. are our main competitors in some or all of our markets.

 

We believe that our products and services are superior to those offered by our competitors based on our strength in developing higher quality software solutions and our extensive library of virtual shooting scenario content that would require a substantial investment by a competitor to offer a comparable product.

 

Modern Round Co-Venture Agreement

 

On January 16, 2015 we entered into a Co-Venture Agreement (the “Co-Venture Agreement”) with Modern Round. We agreed to develop interactive games, skills drills, and advanced training simulation content for Modern Round pursuant to the terms of the Co-Venture Agreement, the costs of which were born by Modern Round. We also licensed our software, virtual shooting content and other intellectual property (the “VirTra Technology”) to Modern Round for a portion of its total revenue. We continue to own virtual shooting scenario content that is used in conjunction with the Modern Round platform, whether such content is created by a third-party developer or by Modern Round’s in-house development team. When a virtual shooting scenario content is used in conjunction with the Modern Round’s platform, however, Modern Round has an exclusive, worldwide license to use such content, whether created by a third-party developer or by Modern Round’s in-house development team subject to certain milestones discussed below.

 

   -33-  
 

 

The Co-Venture Agreement provided for (i) the grant to us of 1,365,789 membership units of Modern Round (“Units”), (ii) a right to participate to the extent of five percent of any offering by Modern Round of its Units, (iii) warrants to purchase 1,365,789 Units exercisable 12 months after the opening of Modern Round’s first range facility utilizing the VirTra technology pursuant to the Co-Venture Agreement at a price of $0.25 per share and (iv) Modern Round’s payment of a royalty to us equal to 7% of its gross revenues for each location that uses the VirTra Technology with minimum royalty payments of $280,000, $560,000, and $840,000 (thereafter) for each 12-month period following the opening of the first location in the United States or Canada based on sales in these territories. In addition, on April 14, 2015 Modern Round issued to us an option to purchase 125,000 of its Units. The option fully vested and became exercisable on the date of grant at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per Unit. The April 14, 2015 option terminates on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, if not earlier pursuant to the terms of the option.

 

The Co-Venture Agreement provides for a 7% royalty payment to us based on gross revenue of the Modern Round facility. The royalty commenced on June 1, 2016 with the opening of Modern Round’s Peoria, Arizona location. The agreement also provides for minimum royalty payments of $280,000, $560,000, and $840,000 (thereafter), for each subsequent 12-month period following the opening of the first location in the United States or Canada, and separate minimum royalty payments, following the opening of the first location outside of the United States and Canada, each based on sales in each of the respective territories.

 

Modern Round’s exclusive license is conditional upon achieving certain milestones. They are required to open a location in the United States or Canada within 24 months, and are required to open an international location within five years of the execution of the Co-Venture Agreement. Additionally, they must meet the minimum royalty payments noted when they become effective. They achieved the United States or Canada milestone with the opening of their Peoria, Arizona location in June 2016. The term of the Co-Venture Agreement continues so long as Modern Round exercises any rights under the agreement with respect to the VirTra Technology. The Co-Venture Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party if the breaching party fails to cure any material breach within 30 days after written notice from the non-breaching party. If we are the breaching party, Modern Round may elect to retain the right to use the VirTra Technology and continue to pay royalties to us as provided for in the Co-Venture Agreement.

 

In addition to our other obligations under the Co-Venture Agreement, we issued to affiliates of MREC warrants to purchase 919,382 shares of our common stock exercisable at $1.36 per share any time subsequent to the earlier of the first anniversary of the opening of Modern Round’s first range facility utilizing the VirTra Technology or after MREC opens its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology and the payment of all required minimum royalty payments during the first 12-month period. We also granted warrants to affiliates of MREC to purchase 919,382 shares of our common stock exercisable at $1.36 per share any time subsequent to Modern Round’s payment to us of $2,000,000 in royalty fees.

 

On December 31, 2015, Modern Round merged with a subsidiary of MREC pursuant to a Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and each unit of Modern Round issued and outstanding as of the effective time of the merger automatically converted into the right to receive approximately 1.2277 shares of MREC common stock. As a result of the Merger Agreement, we held 1,676,748 shares of MREC, options to purchase 153,459 shares of MREC common stock at an exercise price of $.41 per share, and conditional warrants to purchase 1,676,747 shares of MREC common stock at an exercise price of $.20 per share. On October 22, 2016, we exercised the warrant and purchased 1,676,747 shares of MREC common stock for $335,349 resulting in our aggregate holdings of MREC increasing to 3,353,495 common shares representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of MREC.

 

On July 28, 2017, the Company received Notices of Exercise for all 919,382 warrants currently exercisable (the “Tranche 1 Warrants”) from all the MREC affiliate holders electing to purchase warrants pursuant to the terms of the net exercise provision set forth in the Warrant Agreement. Mr. Saltz held 778,243 of the Tranche 1 Warrants prior to the assignment of the warrants to MREC on August 11, 2017. Under the net exercise provision, in lieu of exercising the warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of the warrant and the Company issuing to holder the number of computed shares. Using the July 28, 2017 OTCQX closing price at $2.18 as fair value and the $1.36 warrant exercise price, upon conversion the 919,382 warrants entitle the holders to receive 345,823 shares of the Company’s common stock without payment of any additional consideration pursuant to the net exercise terms of the Tranche 1 Warrants that are currently exercisable.

 

   -34-  
 

 

Effective August 16, 2017, the Company and the MREC affiliate holders entered into an agreement (the “Warrant Buyout Agreement”) whereby the Company acknowledged the assignment of the Tranche 1 Warrants to MREC and agreed to repurchase them at a price of $1.962 per share of common stock issuable by the Company pursuant to the net exercise terms of the Warrants for a total of $678,505.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to repurchase from MREC an additional 919,382 warrants held by MRC that are not currently exercisable (the “Tranche 2 Warrants”). Mr. Saltz held 728,243 of the Tranche 2 Warrants prior to their assignment to MREC on August 11, 2017. The Warrant Buyout Agreement amends the Tranche 2 Warrants to provide for the immediate exercise on a net exercise basis of 48,415 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price for the Tranche 2 Warrants of a total of $94,990 is based on a price of $1.962 per share of common stock issuable on a net exercise basis based on 48,415 shares of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate purchase price of the Tranche 1 Warrants and the Tranche 2 Warrants was $773,495.

 

MREC agreed that proceeds of the warrant redemption, net of applicable taxes, would be used to fund the development of a second stand-alone Modern Round location. In addition, MREC agreed that, after giving effect to their payment to us of $161,573 towards the $240,000 minimum royalty due covering the first 12-month royalty period, the balance due to us in order to maintain exclusivity was $118,427. Further, MREC acknowledged that the second 12-month minimum royalty calculation period provided for in the Co-Venture Agreement began on June 1, 2017 and ends on May 31, 2018. Total minimum royalty payments due during this period required to maintain MREC’s exclusive rights under the Co-Venture Agreement are $560,000 including any shortfalls for prior periods being due no later than June 30, 2018. By fully funding the Minimum Royalty Payment, MREC will retain its exclusive license to use the Company’s shooting scenario content and other intellectual property in MREC’s facilities for a future 12-month period in accordance with the Co-Venture Agreement.

 

In addition, on August 16, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Co-Venture Agreement to permit MREC to sublicense the VirTra Technology to third party operators of stand-alone location-based entertainment companies. MREC agreed to pay us royalties for any such sublicenses in an amount equal to 10% of the revenue paid to MREC in cases where MREC pays for the cost of the equipment for such location or 14% of the revenue paid to MREC in cases where it does not pay for the cost of the equipment.

We own the trademark for “VirTra Systems” and “The Higher Standard in Firearms Training Simulators”. These trademarks are registered in the United States. We have filed applications that are pending for the trademark for “VirTra” and “Threat-Fire”. We consider the protection of our trademarks to be important to our business.

 

We also have copyright protection for the simulator content we produce for use in our products.

 

We rely on the laws of unfair competition and trade secrets to protect our proprietary rights. We attempt to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with customers, suppliers, employees and consultants, and through other security measures. However, we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Effective trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we offer or intend to offer our products and services to the same extent as in the United States. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could harm or even destroy our brands and impair our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and may not prove successful. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful.

 

Research and Development

 

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, our research and product development expenses were approximately $1,100,000 and $1,666,000, respectively.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials/Manufacturing and Assembly

 

We obtain the key components of our products from a variety of sources that we purchase on a purchase order basis from local suppliers at market prices based on our production requirements. We believe alternative sources generally exist for the components used in our products.

 

Our manufacturing, assembly, warehouse and shipping facilities are located in Tempe Arizona. See Business – Property.

 

Employees

 

As of October 16, 2017, we employed 74 full-time employees. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and have not experienced any labor disputes.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. On October 20, 2016 a former employee filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, District of Arizona against us alleging our failure and/or refusal to pay overtime in violation of 29 U.S.C. Sec. 201, et. seq. and a claim for wrongfully withheld wages under A.R.S. Sec. 23-350 et. seq. The complaint seeks certification of class action status, declaratory relief, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and such other relief the Court deems just and proper. We intend to vigorously defend our company in this case. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation with an unfavorable ruling resulting in monetary damages against us, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material effect on its earnings, cash flows, or financial position.

 

   -36-  
 

 

Property

 

We lease approximately 37,729 rentable square feet of office and warehouse space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office, manufacturing, assembly, warehouse and shipping facility located at 7970 South Kyrene Road, Tempe, Arizona 85284. This lease expires in April 2019. In addition, we lease approximately 4,529 rentable square feet of office and industrial space from an unaffiliated third party for our parts manufacturing facility at 2169 East 5th St., Tempe, Arizona 85284. This lease expires in March 2018.

 

Operations

 

Our operations are conducted from our principal executive office in Tempe, Arizona. We have no offices or employees internationally. However, our U.S.-based sales force works to secure contracts to supply our products in U.S. and foreign markets. As of September 30, 2017, we had existing sales contracts or warranty service obligations in the U.S. and the following seven foreign countries: Australia, Bahrain, Costa Rica, Greenland, Israel, Mexico and United Arab Emirates. When our products are introduced into an international market, it is either pursuant to a contract directly with a customer located in the foreign country, or pursuant to a contract between our company and a U.S. government agency (such as the Department of State or the United States Army). In the latter instance, our customer is the relevant U.S. government agency. The government agency may then distribute our products to third parties within the particular country.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

Our business is heavily regulated in most of our markets. We deal with numerous U.S. government agencies and entities, including, but not limited to, branches of the U.S. military and the Department of Homeland Security. Similar government authorities exist in our international markets.

 

We are also subject to export laws and regulations. These laws include, among others, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (the “ITAR”), administered by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, and trade sanctions, regulations and embargoes administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control. Among its many provisions, the ITAR requires a license application for the export of firearms and congressional approval for any application with a total value of $1 million or higher. We have been issued an exemption under the ITAR that eliminates the need to apply for individual licenses to export our products outside the United States.

 

Any failures to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil or criminal penalties, fines, investigations, adverse publicity and restrictions on our ability to export our products, and repeat failures could carry more significant penalties. Any changes in export regulations may further restrict the export of our products. The length of time required by the licensing processes can vary, potentially delaying the shipment of products and the recognition of the corresponding revenue. Any restrictions on the export of our products could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

 

For additional information related to export regulations, see Item 1A, entitled “Risk Factors – We may not be able to receive or retain the necessary licenses or authorizations required for us to export or re-export….”

 

Government Contracts

 

The U.S. government, and other governments, may terminate any of our government contracts at their convenience, as well as for default, based on our failure to meet specified performance requirements. If any of our U.S. government contracts were to be terminated for convenience, we generally would be entitled to receive payment for work completed and allowable termination or cancellation costs. If any of our government contracts were to be terminated for default, generally the U.S. government would pay only for the work that has been accepted and can require us to pay the difference between the original contract price and the cost to re-procure the contract items, net of the work accepted from the original contract. The U.S. government can also hold us liable for damages resulting from the default. For additional information related to government contracts, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Government Contracts.”

 

Environmental

 

We are subject to various federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the discharge, treatment, storage, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and wastes. We continually assess our compliance status and management of environmental matters to ensure our operations are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. Investigation, remediation, operation and maintenance costs associated with environmental compliance and management of sites are a normal, recurring part of our operations. These costs often are allowable costs under our contracts with the U.S. government. It is reasonably possible that continued environmental compliance could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows if additional work requirements or more stringent clean-up standards are imposed by regulators, new areas of soil and groundwater contamination are discovered and/or expansions of work scope are prompted by the results of investigations.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016

 

Revenues. Revenues were $5,251,565 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3,385,882 for the same period in 2016. The increase was due to additional sales of simulators, accessories, warranties and other services. Revenues were $9,460,852 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $9,618,176 for the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily a result of recognizing $2.7 million in revenue on one single international order during the 2016 period.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $1,501,467 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1,410,700 for the same period in 2016. The increase was due to additional sales volume partially offset by a reduction in the cost of manufacturing system and product components in our recently acquired machine shop, an increase in sales of mix of higher margin products including training, service and warranty sales, and a reduction in material costs due to higher volume purchases and more favorable pricing of raw materials and systems components in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Cost of sales was $3,280,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3,511,725 for the same period in 2016. The decrease is a result of a reduction in the cost of manufacturing system and product components in our recently acquired machine shop, an increase in sales of mix of higher margin products including training, service and warranty sales and a reduction in material costs due to higher volume purchases and more favorable pricing of raw materials and systems components in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. These increases were partially offset by increased costs due to higher sales volume.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $3,750,098 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1,975,182 for the same period in 2016. The increase in gross profit margin of 71% compared to 58% for the same period in 2016 was a result of a reduction in the cost of manufacturing system and product components in our recently acquired machine shop, an increase in sales of mix of higher margin products including training, service and warranty sales and a reduction in material costs due to higher volume purchases and more favorable pricing of raw materials and systems components in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Gross profit was $6,180,440 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $6,106,451 for the same period in 2016. The gross profit margin was 65% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 63% for the same period in 2016. Gross profit increased due to the same factors we discussed above for the three month period as noted above. The Gross Profit increases were also due to sales mix of higher margin products that includes training, service and warranty sales.

 

Operating Expenses. Net operating expense was $2,129,478 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1,613,539 for the same period in 2016. Net operating expense was $4,086,166 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3,662,900 for the same period in 2016. The three month and six month year over year increases were due to expanding staffing levels, annual increases in payroll and benefits for current staff, sales and marketing expansion, new research and development work, and IT infrastructure upgrades.

 

Net Income. Net income was $1,648,091 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $322,027 for the same period in 2016. The increase in the net income resulted from increases in revenue and gross profit partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as noted above. Net income was $2,049,979 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2,371,212 for the same period in 2016. The decrease in net income resulted from a slight decrease in revenue and an increase in operating expenses as noted in each respective section.

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (AEBITDA)

 

Explanation and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. The Company calculates its adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to the Company’s investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and because adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry, several of which present EBITDA and a form of adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net (loss) income, cash flows from operating activities and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. The Company had $4,283,216 and $3,703,579 in cash as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The working capital was $7,433,993 and $5,268,654 for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $749,610 and $1,441,133 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting from a decrease in net income and significant changes in accounts receivables, prepaid expense, other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $70,923 and $221,374 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting from a reduction in purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $99,050 and $467,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, resulting from the purchase of treasury stock and from the repurchase and cancellation of stock options.

 

Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the year ended December 31, 2015

 

Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $15,652,168 compared to $13,342,336 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This represents a 17% increase. Overall product line sales increased in all areas including an increase in simulator sales, accessories sales and extended warranty agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2016, revenues included $90,047 from MREC, a related party, for royalties.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $5,970,058 compared to $5,652,125 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This represents a 6% increase. The increase resulted primarily from increased product sales as noted above, partially offset by an increase in sales of mix of higher margin products including training, service and warranty sales, and a reduction in material costs due to higher volume purchases and more favorable pricing of raw materials and systems components in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

 

Gross Profit. Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $9,682,110 which represented a 62% profit margin. Gross Profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $7,690,211 which represented a 58% profit margin. The Gross Profit increased by 26% from years ended 2015 to 2016 due to sales mix of higher margin products that includes training, service and warranty sales and a reduction in material costs due to higher volume purchases and more favorable pricing of raw materials and systems components in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. We do not expect our gross profit margins to change significantly during the remaining periods in fiscal 2017 as our input costs have remained relatively stable.

 

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $7,555,784 compared to $6,199,628 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This represents a 22% increase. The operating expenses increase resulted from increases in employee costs, professional services, sales and marketing, plus research and development costs.

Net Income. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016, totaled $2,050,022 compared to $1,536,983 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This represents a 33% increase. The increase in the net income resulted from increases in revenue and gross profit partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as noted above.

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (AEBITDA)

 

Explanation and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-operating costs and income (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA are non-U.S. GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA means net income (i) plus depreciation, (ii) plus non-cash stock option expense, (iii) plus treasury stock canceled, (iv) minus other income – receipt of unclaimed property, and (v) plus provision for income taxes. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. We calculate adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations and because adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, several of which present EBITDA and a form of adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had $3,703,579 and $3,317,020 cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The working capital was $5,268,654 and $3,878,996 for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We had assets at December 31, 2016 of $9,911,989 compared to $7,270,007 at December 31, 2015.

 

   -41-  
 

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,754,880 compared to $1,742,841 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in net income and non-cash related items, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivables, inventory and prepaid expenses and a reduction in accounts payable.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $830,334 and $332,953 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of an investment in MREC, purchases of property and equipment and other assets.

 

Net cashed used in financing activities was $537,987 and $5,597 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in repurchases of stock-based options, partially offset by proceeds from exercises of common stock options.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016 totaled $3,703,579, an increase of $386,559 over our balance at December 31 2015. In addition, we had working capital of $5,268,654, an increase of $1,389,658 over the amount as of December 31, 2015. The amount of cash and cash equivalents and working capital at December 31, 2016 along with expected net cash provided by operating activities is believed sufficient to meet our current operating cash needs over the next twelve months from the filing of this Offering Circular. We do not expect a significant change to our plan of operations or the number of employees.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our management believes that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our current business strategy for more than 12 months from the filing of this Offering Circular. We are, however, seeking to raise additional funds to expand our product and services offered, to enhance our sales and marketing efforts and effectiveness, and to aggressively take advantage of market opportunities. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down our plans for expanded marketing and sales efforts.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets, income tax valuation allowances and the carrying value of cost basis investments. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

   -42-  
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments approximates their carrying values at December 31, 2016 and 2015 due to their short maturities. These financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in MREC, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We recognize an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Accounts receivable are charged off after all reasonable collection efforts have been taken. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $20,000 and $59,266, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on the average cost method. Work in progress and finished goods inventory includes an allocation for capitalized labor and overhead. The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventory and provides reserves when appropriate to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or market to reflect estimated net realizable value. As of December 31, 2016, management has determined that it was necessary to record a reserve of $17,282. There was no inventory reserve recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Investments in Other Companies

 

Minority investments in other companies are accounted for under the cost method of accounting because we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the companies’ operations. Under the cost method of accounting, investments in private companies are carried at cost and are only adjusted for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distribution of earnings.

 

Management regularly evaluates the recoverability of its investment based on the investee company’s performance and financial position. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we did not recognize any losses due to other-than-temporary declines of the value of the investments. In addition, management regularly assesses the classification of its investments.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of depreciation. Gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets are recognized in operations in the period incurred. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Depreciation commences at the time the assets are placed in service. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets or for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term, which are summarized as follows:

 

Computer equipment 3-5 years
Furniture and office equipment 5-7 years
Leasehold improvements 7 years

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

Net revenues include sales of products and services and are net of discounts. Product sales consist of simulators, upgrade components, scenarios, scenario software, recoil kits, Threat-Fire® and other accessories. Services include installation, training, limited warranties, service agreements and related support. Certain components of our sales include multiple elements comprising of both products and services. Our revenue recognition falls under ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements, with the delivery of the simulator and installation being two separate deliverables. Our delivery of the simulator and the installation has been assessed to qualify as separate units of accounting:

 

  1. The simulator unit upon shipment or delivery and customer acceptance, depending on the shipping terms.
     
  2. The installation upon completion and customer sign-off.

 

Additionally, we recognize revenue for these products and services when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is considered realized and earned when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred and/or services have been rendered; (iii) the price is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Shipping fees charged to customers are recorded as a component of net revenues. All sales and sales contracts, including international sales, have been denominated in US dollars.

 

Products

 

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Delivery is considered complete when products have been shipped to the customer and title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. For customers other than United States governmental agencies, we generally require deposits in advance of shipment for customer sales orders. Customer deposits are recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet and totaled $51,334 and $658,426 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Services

 

Services include installation of product, separately priced extended limited warranties on parts and labor, and technical support. Revenue is recognized for service contracts as earned, which is generally upon completion of installation or, as it relates to the extended warranties, on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The Company does warranty its products from manufacturing defects on a limited basis for a period of one year after purchase, but also sells separately priced extended warranties for periods of up to four years after the expiration of the standard one year warranty. After the one year standard warranty expires and during the term of the extended warranty, if the device fails to operate properly from defects in materials and workmanship, we will fix or replace the defective product. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties longer than one year totaled $2,014,571 and $865,415 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recorded a gross to net revenue adjustment and accrues on an annual basis the estimated cost of complying with the warranty agreements for the next fiscal year. The accrual for the one-year manufacturer’s warranty liability totaled $122,000 and $77,400 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company calculates a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes are required.

 

In assessing realizable deferred tax assets, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets will or will not be realized. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for all net deferred tax assets.

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions. Interest or penalties, if any, will be recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no significant unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. Tax positions are positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions expected to be taken in a future tax return that are reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements.

 

   -44-  
 

 

The Company reflects tax benefits, only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain the tax return position, based on its technical merits. If a tax benefit meets this criterion, it is measured and recognized based on the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

The Company is potentially subject to tax audits for its United States federal and Arizona state income tax returns for tax years ended 2014 to 2016 and 2013 to 2016, respectively; however, earlier years may be subject to audit under certain circumstances. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company calculates the cost of awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates

 

The expected term of the options is the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards and other options is amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company’s forfeiture rate was calculated based on its historical experience of awards which ultimately vested.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and has not yet determined the effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 – “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires leases to put most leases on their balance sheets by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. This ASU will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

 

We implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Mr. Richardson studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley.

There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our directors, executive officers, significant employees or control persons has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Board Composition

 

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. The number of directors are fixed by our board of directors, subject to our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. Currently, our board of directors consists of five directors.

 

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that (i) Messrs. Saltz, Brown and Richardson do not have a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or responsibilities and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of NASDAQ and (ii) Messrs. Ferris and Burlend are non-independent directors. Therefore, a majority of our board of directors consist of “independent directors” as defined under the listing standards of NASDAQ.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

Our board of directors has a Chairman, Mr. Ferris. The Chairman has authority, among other things, to preside over board of director’s meetings and set the agenda for board of director’s meetings. Accordingly, the Chairman has substantial ability to shape the work of our board of directors. Because of the addition of our independent board members, we currently believe that separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is not necessary to ensure appropriate oversight by the board of directors of our business and affairs. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The board of directors recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the board of directors may periodically review its leadership structure. In addition, following the completion of the offering, the board of directors will hold executive sessions in which only independent directors are present.

 

Our board of directors is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization. The audit committee will oversee management of financial risks; our board of directors regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The board of directors regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our product development and commercialization efforts. Our Compensation Committee is expected to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Board Committees

 

Our board of directors has established three standing committees —audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance —each of which operate under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors. We have appointed persons to the board of directors and committees of the board of directors as required meeting the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

Audit Committee

 

We have appointed three members of our board of directors to the audit committee, Messrs. Saltz, Brown, and Richardson. Mr. Brown serves as the chairman of the audit committee and satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Listing Rules. In making a determination on which member will qualify as a financial expert, our board of directors considered the formal education and nature and scope of such members’ previous experience.

  To meet at least four times a year to fulfill its responsibilities.

Compensation Committee

 

We have appointed three members of our board of directors, Messrs. Saltz, Brown, and Richardson, to the compensation committee. Mr. Saltz serves as the chairman of the compensation committee. Our compensation committee will assist our board of directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers.

 

Our compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

  To review and approve the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and to approve the compensation of all other executive officers.
     
  To review, and approve and, when appropriate, recommend to the Board for approval, any employment agreements and any severance arrangements or plans, including any benefits to be provided in connection with a change in control, for the CEO and other executive officers, which includes the ability to adopt, amend and terminate such agreements, arrangements or plans.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

We have appointed three members of our board of directors, Messrs. Saltz, Brown, and Richardson, to the nominating and corporate governance committee. Mr. Richardson serves as the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

 

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

  To determine the qualifications, qualities, skills, and other expertise required to be a director and to develop, and recommend to the Board for its approval, criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for director.
     
  To select and approve the nominees for director to be submitted to a stockholder vote at the annual meeting of stockholders.
     
  To review the Board’s committee structure and composition and to appoint directors to serve as members of each committee and committee chairmen.
     
  To develop and recommend to the Board for approval standards for determining whether a director has a relationship with us that would impair its independence.

  To monitor compliance with our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code”), to investigate any alleged breach or violation of the Code and to enforce the provisions of the Code.
     
  To meet at least two times a year.
     
  To review the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter at least annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval

 

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Whistleblower Protection Policy

 

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics, which outlines the principles of legal and ethical business conduct under which we do business. In addition, we have adopted a written Whistleblower Protection Policy to prevent adverse employment action of any kind against any of our employees who lawfully report information about (i) fraudulent activities within our company (including wire fraud, mail fraud and bank fraud), (ii) violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 pertaining to fraud against stockholders of the Company, (iii) questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters of the Company, and (iv) conduct by our executives that violate our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, or that cause reports and other public disclosures by us that are not full, fair and accurate. To advance this commitment, we have adopted this Whistleblower Protection Policy. The code and the policy is applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees and will be available on our corporate website following the completion of the offering. We intend to disclose any amendments to our code of business conduct and ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website or in filings under the Exchange Act to the extent required by applicable rules and exchange requirements.

Executive Employment Agreements

 

On April 2, 2012, we entered into three-year Employment Agreements with Messrs. Ferris and Burlend, the executives, that call for base annual salaries of $195,000 and $175,000, respectively, subject to increases based on the cost of living at a minimum. The agreements automatically extend for additional periods of one year. These contracts have been renewed annually with upward adjustments each year. On January 1, 2017, Messrs. Ferris and Burlend’s annual compensation was increased to $228,122 and $204,725, respectively. The employment agreements entitle the executives to an annual cash bonus determined by our board of directors based on our performance. In addition, the agreements entitle the executives to participate in any stock option or restricted stock plan adopted by our board of directors. The amount of an award under any such plan and the vesting terms shall be as deterred by the board. In addition, we are obligated to provide the executives with family medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance and participation in pension and retirement plans and other compensation plans discussed above.

 

We may terminate an executive’s employment for cause as defined in the employment agreement and such cause is deemed to exist as determined by our board of directors at a board meeting at which the executive and his counsel are first given the opportunity to address the board with respect to such determination. If Messrs. Ferris and Burlend are terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, or if either of them voluntarily terminate their own respective employment for good reason but not including a change in control, then we shall, subject to the terms of the respective employment agreements, be obligated to pay the executive who terminated his employment an amount equal to the greater of (a) the executive’s annual base salary in effect on the day preceding the date of such termination or (b) the executive’s annual base salary during the twelve full calendar months preceding the date of such termination, times three. If a change of control of our company occurs while the executive is our employee and within 36 months from the date of such change in control we terminate the executive’s employment for any reason (except for the death or disability of the Executive or for Cause) or the executive terminates his employment for any reason, then we shall, subject to certain limitations, pay the executive any earned and accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus an amount of severance pay equal to the greater of (a) the executive’s annual base salary in effect on the day preceding the date on which the change of control occurred or (b) the executive’s annual base salary during the twelve full calendar months preceding the date on which the change of control occurred, times four. In addition, any stock options awarded to the executives shall immediately vest and become exercisable upon a change of control. If the executive is terminated for any reason other than the executive’s voluntary termination for good reason as defined in the employment agreement, the executive whose employment has been terminated is prohibited for a period of two years from the date of termination of the employment agreement from direct competition with us, and shall not solicit any of our employees or customers. The employment agreements require us to indemnify each of the respective executives to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law, our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which ever affords the greater protection to the executive.

Employee Benefit and Equity Incentive Plans

 

Stock Options

 

We periodically issue non-qualified incentive stock options to the directors under a stock option compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2009. Terms of option grants are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are generally seven years. Each quarter Messrs. Ferris and Burlend are awarded options to purchase 10,000 and 7,500 shares of our common stock at the market value of the shares on the date of the award. As of June 30, 2017, there were 1,120,833 options outstanding and 1,080,833 options exercisable at a weighted exercise price of $0.84 and $0.82, respectively.

 

On March 9, 2016, our board of directors approved a program under which we may repurchase outstanding vested Company stock options on an exception basis. Under the terms of the program, our CEO or COO may cause us to redeem for cash any positive stock options for the net value of the stock option (stock price on the redemption date minus strike price). The cash redemption of stock options held by the CEO or COO must be approved by our independent directors. Any redeemed options are immediately cancelled. We retain the right to reject any redemption request that is not in the best interest of our company

 

Profit Sharing

 

We have a discretionary Profit Sharing program that pays out a percentage of our profits each year as a cash bonus to active and eligible employees. The cash payment is typically split into two equal payments and distributed pro-rata to employees in good standing at time of distribution in April and October of the following year after the completion of the annual financial audit. For the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount charged to operations was fifteen percent (15%) of net profit.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On August 23, 2017, our board approved, subject to shareholder approval at the annual meeting of shareholders on October 6, 2017, the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan is intended to make available incentives that will assist us to attract, retain and motivate employees, including officers, consultants and directors. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units and other cash-based or stock-based awards.

 

A total of 2,375,000 shares of our common stock will be initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan. This reserve will automatically increase on January 1, 2018 and each subsequent anniversary through 2027, by an amount equal to the smaller of (a) 3% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (b) an amount determined by the board.

 

Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the Equity Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards which expire or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the Equity Plan. The shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash or by shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Only the net number of shares issued upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares will be deducted from the shares available under the Equity Plan.

 

The Equity Plan will be generally administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the Equity Plan, the compensation committee will determine in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the sizes of such awards and all of their terms and conditions. However, the compensation committee may delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to grant awards to persons who are not officers or directors, subject to certain limitations contained in the Equity Plan and award guidelines established by the committee. The compensation committee will have the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the Equity Plan and awards granted under it. The Equity Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by us of any director, officer or employee against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any legal action arising from such person’s action or failure to act in administering the Equity Plan.

 

The Equity Plan will authorize the compensation committee, without further stockholder approval, to provide for the cancellation of stock options or stock appreciation rights with exercise prices in excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock in exchange for new options or other equity awards with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock or a cash payment.

 

The Equity Plan limits the grant date fair value of all equity awards and the amount of cash compensation that may be provided to a non-employee director in any fiscal year to an aggregate of $300,000.

 

Awards may be granted under the Equity Plan to our employees, including officers, directors or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. All awards will be evidenced by a written agreement between us and the holder of the award and may include any of the following:

 

  Stock options. We may grant nonstatutory stock options or incentive stock options (as described in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code), each of which gives its holder the right, during a specified term (not exceeding 10 years) and subject to any specified vesting or other conditions, to purchase a number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share determined by the administrator, which may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.
     
  Stock appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right gives its holder the right, during a specified term (not exceeding 10 years) and subject to any specified vesting or other conditions, to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of our common stock between the date of grant of the award and the date of its exercise. We may pay the appreciation in shares of our common stock or in cash.
     
  Restricted stock. The administrator may grant restricted stock awards either as a bonus or as a purchase right at such price as the administrator determines. Shares of restricted stock remain subject to forfeiture until vested, based on such terms and conditions as the administrator specifies. Holders of restricted stock will have the right to vote the shares and to receive any dividends paid, except that the dividends will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the related shares.

 

   -53-  
 

 

  Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units represent rights to receive shares of our common stock (or their value in cash) at a future date without payment of a purchase price, subject to vesting or other conditions specified by the administrator. Holders of restricted stock units have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends unless and until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant restricted stock units that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights subject to the same vesting conditions as the related units.
     
  Performance shares and performance units. Performance shares and performance units are awards that will result in a payment to their holder only if specified performance goals are achieved during a specified performance period. Performance share awards are rights denominated in shares of our common stock, while performance unit awards are rights denominated in dollars. The administrator establishes the applicable performance goals based on one or more measures of business performance enumerated in the Equity Plan, such as revenue, gross margin, net income or total stockholder return. To the extent earned, performance share and unit awards may be settled in cash or in shares of our common stock. Holders of performance shares or performance units have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends unless and until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant performance shares that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights subject to the same vesting conditions as the related units.
     
  Cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The administrator may grant cash-based awards that specify a monetary payment or range of payments or other stock-based awards that specify a number or range of shares or units that, in either case, are subject to vesting or other conditions specified by the administrator. Settlement of these awards may be in cash or shares of our common stock, as determined by the administrator. Their holder will have no voting rights or right to receive cash dividends unless and until shares of our common stock are issued pursuant to the award. The administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights with respect to other stock-based awards.

 

In the event of a change in control as described in the Equity Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the Equity Plan or substitute substantially equivalent awards. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control or are not exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control. The compensation committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all awards held by members of the board of directors who are not employees will automatically be accelerated in full. The Equity Plan will also authorize the compensation committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each share subject to the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award.

 

The Equity Plan will continue in effect until it is terminated by the administrator, provided, however, that all awards will be granted, if at all, within 10 years of its effective date. The administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the Equity Plan at any time, provided that without stockholder approval, the plan cannot be amended to increase the number of shares authorized, change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options, or effect any other change that would require stockholder approval under any applicable law or listing rule.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock at October 16, 2017 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares of Common Stock in this offering, for:

 

  each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock;
     
  each named executive officer;
     
  each of our directors; and
     
  all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

 

Unless otherwise noted below, the address for each beneficial owner listed on the table is in care of VirTra, Inc., 7970 S. Kyrene Road, Tempe, AZ 85284. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 15,855,178 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of October 16, 2017.

 

   -57-  
 

 

In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to options or issuable upon conversion of preferred stock held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of October 16, 2017. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

On January 16, 2015, we entered into a Co-Venture Agreement with Modern Round and in connection with this agreement we agreed to develop interactive games, skills drills, and advanced training simulation content for Modern Round and license VirTra Technology to Modern Round for a portion of its total revenue, acquired rights to purchase MREC common stock and issued to affiliates of MREC that included Mr. Saltz, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,838,764 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.36 per share. Pursuant to our rights to acquire shares of MREC common stock we obtained pursuant to this agreement, we acquired 3,353,495 shares of MREC common stock representing approximately 8.9% of its issued and outstanding common stock. See “Business - Modern Round Co-Venture Agreement.”

 

On July 1, 2016, we issued 50,000 shares of our Series A Preferred stock to Mr. Ferris and he paid $2,500 for these shares. Effective on September 16, 2016, these 50,000 shares of the Series A Preferred shares were automatically redeemed from Mr. Ferris by us for $2,500 and cancelled.

 

During the fiscal year ending 2016, we received $ 90,047 in revenues from MREC.

 

Mr. Mitch Saltz, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is also Chairman of the Board of Directors and a majority stockholder of MREC. Through the terms of the Co-Venture Agreement, the Company acquired 3,353,495 shares of MREC common stock representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of MREC common stock. In addition, MREC paid the Company $160,417 and $9,915 for license fees (royalties) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively pursuant to the terms of the Co-Venture Agreement and $204,229 and $9,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Effective August 16, 2017, the Company agreed to repurchase warrants held by Mr. Saltz and other affiliates of MREC for an aggregate of purchase price of $773,495. The warrants were assigned to MREC and the proceeds are intended to be used by MREC to fund the development of a second stand-alone Modern Round location under the Co-Venture Agreement. In addition, effective August 16, 2017, the Company and MREC amended the Co-Venture agreement to permit MREC to sublicense certain of our technology to third party operators of stand-alone location-based entertainment companies and revise the royalties for any such sublicenses. See “Business - Modern Round Co-Venture Agreement.”

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by NRS. Further, employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, both of whom are directors, require us, among other things, to indemnify these individuals for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts reasonably incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in our right, on account of any services undertaken by such person on behalf of our company or that person’s status as an officer or a member of our Board of Directors to the maximum extent allowed under Nevada law. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

 

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

 

All future transactions, if any, between us and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates, as well as any transactions between us and any entity with which our officers, directors or principal stockholders are affiliated will be reviewed and approved or ratified in accordance with policies and procedures that our board of directors intends to adopt effective upon the completion of this offering. Such policies and procedures will require that related person transactions be approved by the audit committee or our board of directors or otherwise in accordance with the then applicable SEC and rules and regulations governing the approval of such transactions. The audit committee and the board of directors have adopted policies and procedures for review of, and standards for approval of related party transactions. These policies and procedures have not been and will not be applied to the related party transactions described above.

 

   -59-  
 

 

All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. A majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions, and we will maintain at least two independent directors on our board of directors to review all material transactions with affiliates.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

We are offering a minimum of 1,428,571 shares of Common Stock and maximum of 2,857,142 shares of Common Stock (the “Offered Shares”), par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on a “best efforts” basis, pursuant to this Offering Circular. In computing the minimum and maximum number of shares of Common Stock offered by the Company, we assumed an initial public offering price of $3.50 per share of Common Stock, which is the midpoint of the price range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share. The fixed initial public offering price per share in the range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share will be determined upon qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC.

 

The following description of our capital stock is based upon our articles of incorporation, our bylaws, and applicable provisions of law, in each case as currently in effect. This discussion does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and our bylaws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to this Offering Circular.

 

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 22, 2016, our authorized capital stock consists of 125,000,000 shares of capital stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, 15,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, which may, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors be issued in one or more series (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

The Board may from time to time authorize by resolution the issuance of any or all shares of the Common Stock, Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and the Preferred Stock authorized in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the articles of incorporation for such purposes, in such amounts, to such persons, corporations, or entities, for such consideration and in the case of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, all as the Board in its discretion may determine and without any vote or other action by the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote voting together with the Common Stock together as a single class and Holders of our Class B Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any matter, except that the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class with respect to amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class, increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class, or alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely. Holders of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the votes of holders of the Common Stock and Class A Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our Common Stock and Class A Common Stock representing a one-third of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.

 

Holders of our Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to share in all dividends that our Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Our Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our capital stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Board of Directors is authorized at any time, and from time to time, to provide the for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to determine the designations, preferences, limitations and relative or other rights of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof. For each series, the Board of directors shall determine, by resolution or resolutions adopted prior to the issuance of any shares thereof, the designations, preferences, limitations and relative or other rights thereof. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by stockholders and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock.

Warrants

 

At June 30, 2017, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,838,764 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $1.36 per share that were issued in connection with the Co-Venture Agreement we entered into with MREC on January 16, 2015 (the “MREC Warrants”). The MREC warrants expire on January 16, 2020. The MREC Warrants are exercisable as follows: (i) 919,382 warrants may be exercised commencing at the earlier of the first anniversary of MREC’s opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology or after MREC opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology and the payment of all required US/Canada Minimum Royalty Payments during the first 12 month period has been made to VirTra and (ii) 919,382 warrants may be exercised any time subsequent to MREC’s payment of $2,000,000 in royalty fees to us.

 

Effective August 16, 2017, the Company agreed to repurchase the MREC Warrants for an aggregate of purchase price of $773,495. The warrants were assigned to MREC and the proceeds are intended to be used by MREC to fund the development of a second stand-alone Modern Round location under the Co-Venture Agreement. In addition, effective August 16, 2017, the Company and MREC amended the Co-Venture agreement to permit MREC to sublicense certain of our technology to third party operators of stand-alone location-based entertainment companies and revise the royalties for any such sublicenses. See “Business - Modern Round Co-Venture Agreement.”

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law and our Articles of Incorporation

 

Provisions of the NRS and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Effects of authorized but unissued common stock and blank check preferred stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common stock and undesignated preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

In addition, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance also may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of those holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

Prohibition on Cumulative Voting. Our Articles of Incorporation prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

   -61-  
 

 

Removal of Directors. Our Bylaws provide that a director may only be removed from office for cause by a vote of the majority of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders held for the purpose of removing a director.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Interested Stockholder Statute. We are subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.411 through 78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with us, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of our capital stock entitled to vote. We have, however, elected in our Articles of Incorporation to not be governed by the provisions of NRS Sections 78.411 through 78.444.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors. NRS limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our Articles of Incorporation include provisions that require us to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the NRS, our directors or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of our company, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the NRS. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect our company, our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the NRS and in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock & Transfer & Trust Company located at 17 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004 and its telephone number is (212) 509-4000.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

 

Prior to this offering, our shares of common stock have been quoted on the OTCQX tier of the OTC Markets. Although there has been a public market for our common stock, we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or the perception that these sales could occur in the public market after this offering could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

 

Upon completion of this offering, assuming the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock offered in this offering are sold, there will be approximately 18,712,320 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. In computing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock offered by the Company, we assumed an initial public offering price of $3.50 per share of Common Stock, which is the midpoint of the price range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share. The fixed initial public offering price per share in the range from $3.00 to $4.00 per share will be determined upon qualification of the Offering Statement by the SEC. This number excludes any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock that could occur in connection with:

 

  any exercise of stock options outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular.

 

   -62-  
 

 

These 18,712,320 shares of our Common Stock will be freely tradable in the public market, except to the extent they are held by or acquired by an “affiliate” of ours, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. Under Rule 405, an affiliate of a specified person is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified person. Any affiliate of ours that acquires our shares can only further transact in such shares in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which imposes sales volume limitations and other restrictions on such further transactions. See “— Rule 144,” below. In addition to the foregoing, 720,335 shares of our Common Stock not sold in this offering will be restricted securities written the meaning of Rule 144, and would be tradable only if they are sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, including under Rule 144. See “— Rule 144,” below.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any person who is or has been an affiliate of ours during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned shares for at least six months is entitled to sell, within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the date of this Offering Circular, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

 

  1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, which will equal approximately 187,123 shares immediately after this offering; and
     
  the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, subject to the filing of a Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

 

A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least six months is entitled to sell his or her shares under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations described above, subject only to the availability of current public information about us during the six months after the initial six-month holding period is met. After a non-affiliate has beneficially owned his or her shares for one year or more, he or she may freely sell his or her shares under Rule 144 without complying with any Rule 144 requirements.

 

We are unable to estimate the number of shares that will be sold under Rule 144, since this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the sellers and other factors. Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the common stock, and there can be no assurance that a significant public market for the common stock will develop or be sustained after the offering. Any future sale of substantial amounts of the common stock in the open market may adversely affect the market price of the common stock offered by this Offering Circular.

 

Rule 701

 

In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, any of our employees, directors, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a qualified compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement and in compliance with Rule 701, is eligible to resell those shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with the various restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Mr. Robert Ferris has agreed, or will agree, with the Underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, we and he will not, directly or indirectly, during the period ending 365 days after the date of the Offering Circular.

 

   -63-  
 

 

● offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition; or

 

● enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

This agreement does not apply, in our case, to securities issued pursuant to existing employee benefit plans or securities issued upon exercise of options, and other exceptions, and in the case of our officers, directors and other holders of our securities, exercise of stock options issued pursuant to a stock option or similar plans, and other exceptions.

 

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

 

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that purchases our common stock pursuant to this offering and holds such common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of the Code. This discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the Code, applicable United States Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and rulings and pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or subject to different interpretation. This discussion does not address all the tax consequences that may be relevant to specific holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (such as financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, retirement plans, partnerships and their partners, dealers in securities, brokers, United States expatriates, persons who have acquired our common stock as compensation or otherwise in connection with the performance of services, or persons who have acquired our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment). This discussion does not address the state, local, or foreign tax or United States federal estate or alternative minimum tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of our common stock. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock, as well as the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws.

 

As used in this discussion, the term “non-U.S. holder” refers to a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not, for United States federal income tax purposes, any of the following:

 

  an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
     
  a corporation (or other entity or arrangement taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including the District of Columbia;
     
  any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes;
     
  an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or
     
  a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (ii) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership that holds our common stock and any partner who owns an interest in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our common stock.

 

   -64-  
 

 

You should consult your tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other applicable taxing jurisdiction in light of your particular circumstances.

 

Distributions on Common Stock

 

As discussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not currently expect to make distributions on our stock. If we do make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our stock or rights to acquire our stock) in respect of our common stock, the distribution generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, on a share-by-share basis, to the extent of the non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in our common stock, and, to the extent such portion exceeds the non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in our common stock, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of the common stock, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition.”

 

The gross amount of dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to our common stock generally will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless (i) an applicable income tax treaty reduces or eliminates such tax, and the non-U.S. holder certifies that it is eligible for the benefits of such treaty in the manner described below, or (ii) the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) and the non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification and disclosure requirements. In the latter case, generally, a non-U.S. holder will be subject to United States federal income tax with respect to such dividends on a net income basis at regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in the same manner as a United States person (as defined under the Code). Additionally, a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items.

 

A non-U.S. holder that wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty with respect to dividends on our common stock will be required to provide the applicable withholding agent with a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury that such holder (i) is not a United States person (as defined under the Code) and (ii) is eligible for the benefits of such treaty, and the withholding agent must not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the certification is incorrect. This certification must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of dividends and may be required to be updated periodically. If our common stock is held through a non-United States partnership or non-United States intermediary, such partnership or intermediary will also be required to comply with additional certification requirements under applicable Treasury regulations. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

 

Prospective investors, and in particular prospective investors engaged in a United States trade or business, are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of owning our common stock.

 

Sale, Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition

 

Generally, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized upon the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States), (ii) such non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied, or (iii) we are or become a “United States real property holding corporation” (as defined in Section 897(c) of the Code) at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for our common stock and either (a) our common stock has ceased to be traded on an established securities market prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition occurs, or (b) the non-U.S. holder owns (actually or constructively) more than five percent of our common stock at some time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or such holder’s holding period for our common stock. Although there can be no assurances in this regard, we believe that we are not a United States real property holding corporation, and we do not expect to become a United States real property holding corporation.

 

   -65-  
 

 

Generally, gain described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph will be subject to tax on a net income basis at regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person (as defined under the Code). A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. An individual non-U.S. holder described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph will be required to pay (subject to applicable income tax treaties) a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States.

 

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

 

Withholding at a rate of 30% is required on dividends in respect of our common stock, and, after December 31, 2016 will be required on gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock, in each case, held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the United States Treasury Department to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain United States persons and by certain non-United States entities that are wholly or partially owned by United States persons and to withhold on certain payments. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, or future Treasury regulations, may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our common stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-United States entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies that such entity does not have any substantial United States owners or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s substantial United States owners. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their investment in our common stock.

After the completion of this Tier II, Regulation A offering, we intend to become subject to the information and periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

Such reports and other information will be available for inspection and copying at the public reference room and on the Commission’s website referred to above.

The board of directors shall be deemed to have made a report available to each stockholder as required if it has either (i) filed such report with the SEC via its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval, or EDGAR, system and such report is publicly available on such system or (ii) made such report available on any website maintained by us and available for viewing by the stockholders.

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business Operations

 

VirTra, Inc. (the “Company” or “VirTra”) is engaged in the sale and development of judgmental use of force training simulators and firearms training simulators for law enforcement, military and commercial uses. The Company sells simulators and related products worldwide through a direct sales force and international distribution partners. The original business started in 1993 as Ferris Productions, Inc. In September 2001, Ferris Productions, Inc. merged with GameCom, Inc. to ultimately become VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas Corporation.

 

Effective as of October 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), the Company completed a conversion from a Texas corporation to a Nevada corporation pursuant to a Redomestication Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 23, 2016 and its shareholders on September 16, 2016. On the Effective Date, 15,855,005 shares of common stock of VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, were converted into 15,855,005 shares of common stock of VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation. No shareholders exercised appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the Texas Business Organization Code.

 

As part of the Plan of Conversion, the Company filed Articles of Incorporation in Nevada whereby it changed its name from VirTra Systems, Inc. to VirTra, Inc. and revised its capitalization. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation filed in Nevada authorized the Company to issue 125,000,000 shares, of which (1) 120,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), of which (a) 100,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.0001, (b) 5,000,000 shares shall be Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), and (c) 15,000,000 shares shall be Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”) and (2) 5,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors be issued in one or more series (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company also adopted new bylaws as part of the Plan of Conversion.

 

Effective October 20, 2016, the Company affected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references to shares of its common stock in this report refer to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (unless otherwise indicated).

 

The Company corporate office is located in Tempe, Arizona. All transactions in the financial statements and accompanying notes are presented in US Dollars.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included in these unaudited condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

   F-6  
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments approximates their carrying values at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 due to their short maturities. These financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Accounts receivable are charged off after all reasonable collection efforts have been taken. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $20,000, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on the average cost method. Work in progress and finished goods inventory includes an allocation for capitalized labor and overhead. The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventory and provides reserves when appropriate to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recorded reserves of $28,000 and $17,000, respectively.

 

Investments in Other Companies

 

Minority investments in other companies are accounted for under the cost method of accounting because the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the other companies’ operations. Under the cost method of accounting, investments in private companies are carried at cost and are only adjusted for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distribution of earnings. Management regularly evaluates the recoverability and classification of its investment. During the periods ended June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not recognize any losses due to other-than-temporary declines of the value of the investments.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of depreciation. Gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets are recognized in the period incurred. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Depreciation commences at the time the assets are placed in service. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the fixed assets or over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term, which are summarized as follows:

 

Computer equipment 3-5 years
Furniture and office equipment 5-7 years
Leasehold improvements 7 years

 

   F-7  
 

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

Net revenues include sales of products and services, net of discounts. Product sales consist of simulators; upgrade components, scenarios, scenario software, recoil kits, Threat-FireTM and other accessories. Services include installation, training, limited warranties, service agreements and related support. Certain components of the Company’s sales include multiple elements comprising both products and services. The Company’s revenue recognition qualifies under ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements with the delivery of the simulator and installation being two separate deliverables and as such, qualifies as separate units of accounting:

 

  1. The simulator unit upon shipment or delivery and customer acceptance, depending on the shipping terms.
     
  2. The installation upon completion and customer sign-off.

 

Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue for these products and services when it is earned which is when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred and/or services have been rendered; (iii) the price is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Shipping fees charged to customers are recorded as a component of net revenues. All sales and sales contracts, including international sales, are recorded in US Dollars.

 

Products

 

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when products have been shipped to the customer and title and risk of loss passes to the customer. For customers other than United States government agencies, the Company generally requires advance deposits prior to shipment. Customer deposits are recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue and totaled $953,041 and $51,334 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Services

 

Services include installation of product, separately priced extended limited warranties on parts and labor and technical support. Revenue is recognized for service contracts as earned which is generally upon completion of installation or, if extended warranties, on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The Company offers a standard warranty on its products from manufacturing defects on a limited basis for a period of one year after purchase and also offers separately priced extended warranties for periods of up to four years beginning after the expiration of the standard one-year warranty. After the standard warranty expires but during the term of the extended warranty, if the device fails to operate properly from defects in materials and workmanship, the Company will repair or replace the defective product at no additional charge. The Company records a gross to net revenue adjustment for the one year standard warranty and accrues annually the estimated cost of complying with the warranty agreements for all extended warranty years. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties longer than one year totaled $1,897,504 and $2,014,571 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents manufacturing costs consisting of materials, labor and overhead related to finished goods and components. Shipping costs incurred related to product delivery are included in cost of sales.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs relating to domestic and international tradeshows, website and sales promotional materials are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $173,595 and $101,415 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $307,123 and $160,662 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs include labor and expenses directly related to research and development support and are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were $278,917 and $169,383 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $621,106 and $432,342 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

   F-8  
 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions having high credit ratings. The FDIC insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank and per ownership category. The Company had uninsured cash and cash equivalents of $3,832,091and $2,986,694 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

The Company sells its products internationally primarily to governmental entities and in the United States primarily to federal and state agencies. One federal agency comprised 17% and one state agency comprised 27% of the total net sales for the three months ending June 30, 2017, and two international customers comprised 45% and one state agency comprised 11% of the total net sales for the three months ending June 30, 2016. One federal agency comprised 14% and one state agency comprised 20% of the total net sales for the six months ending June 30, 2017, and one international customer comprised 28% and one federal agency comprised 11% of the total net sales for the six months ending June 30, 2016.

 

One federal agency represented 48%, and one international customer represented 16% of the total accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2017, respectively. Two federal agencies represented 43%, one international customer represented 21%, and one commercial customer represented 13% of the total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

The Company generally requires significant advance deposits prior to shipments domestically and full prepayment prior to shipments internationally unless credit terms have been established. For customers with established credit terms, and for sales made to domestic government agencies. The Company does not require collateral. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Historically, the Company has experienced minimal charges relative to doubtful accounts.

 

The Company currently purchases small machined parts, custom assemblies and electronic components from suppliers located in the United States. Although the Company obtains many of these components from single-source suppliers, the Company could seek to have the parts, custom assemblies and electronic components manufactured elsewhere. Additionally, the Company has purchased and operates a machine shop to custom manufacture parts and assemblies to mitigate supplier risks, although some risk remains.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company currently maintains a full valuation allowance on all of its net deferred tax assets.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Long lived assets, such as equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company concluded that there was no indication of impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets so no impairment was recorded.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company calculates the cost of awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates

The expected term of the options is the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards and other options is amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company’s forfeiture rate was calculated based on its historical experience of awards which ultimately vested.

 

Treasury Stock

 

The Company utilizes the cost method to account for the reacquisition cost of shares repurchased until the shares are either reissued or retired. It is the intention of the Board of Directors to approve the retirement of treasury shares after their purchase, resulting in the cancellation of the treasury stock and a reduction in the number of shares of issued stock.

 

Net income per Common Share

 

The net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. Weighted average common shares outstanding and dilutive shares consisted of the following as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:

 

    Three Months Ending June 30,     Six Months Ending June 30,  
    2017     2016     2017     2016  
Net income   $ 1,648,091     $ 322,027     $ 2,049,979     $ 2,371,212  
                                 
Weighted average common stock outstanding     15,854,677       15,825,005       15,854,841       15,825,005  
Incremental shares from stock options     683,875       588,256       706,491       537,678  
Incremental shares from warrants     330,448       165,678       352,952       58,736  
                                 
Weighted average common stock outstanding - diluted     16,869,000       16,578,939       16,914,284       16,421,419  
                                 
Net income per common share and common equivalent shares                                
Basic   $ 0.10     $ 0.02     $ 0.13     $ 0.15  
Diluted   $ 0.10     $ 0.02     $ 0.12     $ 0.14  

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 80,833 and 103,333 shares, respectively, of common stock underlying stock options were excluded from the dilutive stock calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 53,333 and 125,833 shares, respectively, of common stock underlying stock options were excluded from the dilutive stock calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and has not yet determined the effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11 – “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The amendment’s purpose is to simplify the measurement, reduce costs and increase comparability for inventory measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This accounting guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2017 and its adoption did not to have a material significant impact on the Company’s financial statement position and results of operations.

 

   F-10  
 

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 – “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The amendment’s purpose is to require deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position (Balance Sheet). This accounting guidance will become effective beginning in the first quarter of 2017. Early application is permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 – “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires leases to put most leases on their balance sheets by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. This ASU will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 – “Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11 – “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I applies to entities that issue financial instruments such as warrants, convertible debt or convertible preferred stock that contain down round features. Part II simply replaces the indefinite deferral for certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests and mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities contained within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480 with a scope exception and does not impact the accounting for these mandatorily redeemable instruments. This ASU is effective for public companies for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the standard may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5. Collaboration Agreement

 

On January 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Co-Venture Agreement (the “Co-Venture Agreement”) with Modern Round, LLC (“Modern Round”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Modern Round Entertainment Corporation (“MREC”), a related party. MREC is a restaurant and entertainment concept centered on its indoor virtual reality shooting experience. The Co-Venture Agreement provides Modern Round access to certain software and equipment relating to the Company’s products in exchange for royalties.

 

The Company received 1,365,789 units, representing a 5% ownership interest in Modern Round on the date of the Co-Venture Agreement. The Company recorded the investment at the estimated fair value of the units and which were valued at $0.10 per unit based on Modern Round’s other membership unit sales. . The Co-Venture Agreement also provides the Company with conditional warrants to purchase an additional 5% of Modern Round as of the date of that agreement, at an exercise price of $0.25.

 

On April 14, 2015 Modern Round issued the Company an option to purchase 125,000 units of Modern Round. The option fully vested and became exercisable on the date of grant at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per unit and terminates on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, if not earlier pursuant to the terms of the option.

 

On December 31, 2015, Modern Round merged with a subsidiary of MREC pursuant to a Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and each unit of Modern Round issued and outstanding as of the effective time of the merger automatically converted into the right to receive approximately 1.2277 shares of MREC common stock. As a result of the Merger Agreement, the Company held 1,676,748 shares of MREC common stock, options to purchase 153,459 shares of MREC common stock at an exercise price of $.41 per share, and conditional warrants to purchase 1,676,747 shares of MREC common stock at an exercise price of $.20 per share.

 

On October 25, 2016, the Company exercised the conditional warrant and purchased 1,676,747 shares of MREC common stock for $335,349 resulting in the Company’s aggregate holdings of MREC increasing to 3,353,495 common shares representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of MREC. The MREC equity securities have been recorded as a cost method investment as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over MREC.

 

As part of the Co-Venture Agreement, the Company granted 919,382 conditional warrants to affiliates of MREC to purchase 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Co-Venture Agreement. The conditional warrants are exercisable commencing at the earlier of the first anniversary of MREC opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra technology or after MREC opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra technology and the payment to the Company of all required US/Canada minimum royalty payments during the first 12-month period. MREC opened its first location on June 1, 2016. On June 1, 2017, the options vested and became exercisable at an exercise price equal to $1.36 per unit and terminate on the fifth anniversary of the date of vesting, if not earlier pursuant to the terms of the option. On June 1, 2017, these warrants vested and were recorded at the Black-Scholes Merton fair value using annual volatility of 91.5%, an annual risk free rate of 1.76%, expected term of five years and a fair value of $2.14 a share for a fair value of $1,516,246 as an additional investment in MREC. See Note 9. Subsequent Events

 

The Company also granted 919,382 of additional conditional warrants to affiliates of MREC to purchase another 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the Co-Venture Agreement date. These conditional warrants are exercisable any time subsequent to MREC’s payment of $2.0 million in cumulative license fees (royalty). Cumulative license fees (royalty) earned and paid to the Company amounted to $204,229 and $90,047 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These conditional warrant issuances are for a period of five years with an exercise price of $1.36. These conditional warrants are considered contingent consideration for the equity investment as they do not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the contingent consideration is not included in the cost of the equity investment until the contingency is resolved and the warrant becomes exercisable.

 

   F-13  
 

 

The Co-Venture Agreement grants MREC an exclusive non-transferrable license to use the Company’s technology solely for use at locations to operate the concept, as defined in the Co-Venture Agreement. The license would become non-exclusive if the first U.S. location is not opened within 24 months of the effective date and at least one location is opened outside the U.S. and Canada within five years of the Co-Venture Agreement date, the respective milestone dates. Throughout the duration of the Co-Venture Agreement, MREC will pay the Company a royalty based on gross revenue, as defined and subject to certain minimum royalties commencing with the first twelve-month period subsequent to the respective milestone date of June 1, 2017. If the total royalty payments for locations in the United States and Canada together do not total at least the minimum royalty amount specified in the agreement, MREC may pay to VirTra the difference between the amount of total royalty payments and the minimum specified in the agreement to maintain exclusivity. The Company recognized $204,229 and $9,915 for license fees (royalties) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company entered into the Co-Venture Agreement with MREC as disclosed in Note 5. Through the terms of that agreement, the Company owns 3,353,495 shares of MREC common stock representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of MREC common stock. In addition, MREC paid the Company $160,417 and $9,915 for license fees (royalties) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively pursuant to the terms of the Co-Venture Agreement and $204,229 and $9,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

General or Threatened Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is notified of threatened litigation or that a claim is being made against it. The Company’s policy is to not disclose the specifics of any claim or threatened lawsuit until such complaint is actually served on the Company. On October 20, 2016, a former employee filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, District of Arizona alleging the Company’s failure and/or refusal to pay overtime in violation of 29 U.S.C. Sec. 201, et. seq. and a claim for wrongfully withheld wages under A.R.S. Sec. 23-350 et. seq. The complaint seeks certification of class action status, declaratory relief, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and such other relief the Court deems just and proper. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation with an unfavorable ruling resulting in monetary damages against us, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material effect on its earnings, cash flows, or financial position.

Of that amount, 20,000 options will vest equally in October 2017 and October 2018.

 

Warrants

 

As part of the Co-Venture Agreement, the Company granted 919,382 conditional warrants to affiliates of Modern Round Entertainment Company (“MREC”), a related party, to purchase 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The conditional warrants are exercisable commencing at the earlier of the first anniversary of MREC opening its first range facility utilizing the Company’s Technology and the payment of all required minimum royalty/licensing fee payments during the first 12- month period. The Company also granted 919,382 conditional warrants to affiliates of MREC to purchase 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis, which are exercisable any time subsequent to MREC’s payment of $2.0 million in royalty fees. The conditional warrants have a contractual term of five years and an exercise price of $1.36. On June 1, 2017, the one-year anniversary of MREC opening its first range facility, 919,382 warrants vested and were recorded at a Black-Scholes Merton fair value using annual volatility of 91.5%, an annual risk free rate of 1.76%, expected term of five years and a fair value of $2.14 a share for a fair value of $1,516,246 as additional investment in MREC.

 

Note 9. Subsequent Events

 

On July 1, 2017, the Company granted to members of its Board of Directors options to purchase 27,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.88 and a term of seven years.

 

On July 1, 2017, the Company redeemed from the CEO and COO, 25,000 previously awarded stock options for cash totaling $34,000 of which $12,500 had been previously expensed in 2010 with the balance of $21,500 being recognized as additional compensation cost in July, 2017.

 

Warrant Redemptions and Co-Venture Agreement Amendment

 

On July 28, 2017, the Company received Notices of Exercise for all 919,382 warrants currently exercisable (the “Tranche 1 Warrants”) from all the MREC affiliate holders electing to purchase warrants pursuant to the terms of the net exercise provision set forth in the Warrant Agreement. Mr. Saltz, a director of the Company and a substantial shareholder of MREC held 778,243 of the Tranche 1 Warrants prior to the assignment of the warrants to MREC on August 11, 2017. Under the net exercise provision, in lieu of exercising the warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of the warrant and the Company issuing to holder the number of computed shares. Using the July 28, 2017 OTCQX closing price at $2.18 as fair value and the $1.36 warrant exercise price, upon conversion the 919,382 warrants entitle the holders to receive 345,823 shares of the Company’s common stock without payment of any additional consideration pursuant to the net exercise terms of the Tranche 1 Warrants that are currently exercisable.

 

Effective August 16, 2017, the Company and the MREC affiliate holders entered into an agreement (the “Warrant Buyout Agreement”) whereby the Company acknowledged the assignment of the Tranche 1 Warrants to MREC and agreed to repurchase them at a price of $1.962 per share of common stock issuable by the Company pursuant to the net exercise terms of the Warrants for a total of $678,505.

 

   F-16  
 

 

In addition, the Company agreed to repurchase from MREC an additional 919,382 warrants held by MRC that are not currently exercisable (the “Tranche 2 Warrants”). Mr. Saltz held 728,243 of the Tranche 2 Warrants prior to their assignment to MREC on August 11, 2017. The Warrant Buyout Agreement amends the Tranche 2 Warrants to provide for the immediate exercise on a net exercise basis of 48,415 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price for the Tranche 2 Warrants of a total of $94,990 is based on a price of $1.962 per share of common stock issuable on a net exercise basis based on 48,415 shares of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate purchase price of the Tranche 1 Warrants and the Tranche 2 Warrants was $773,495.

 

MREC agreed that proceeds of the warrant redemption, net of applicable taxes, would be used to fund the development of a second stand-alone Modern Round location. In addition, MREC agreed that the minimum royalty due to us during the first 12-month royalty period in order to maintain exclusivity is $118,427. Further, MREC acknowledged that the second 12-month minimum royalty calculation period provided for in the Co-Venture Agreement began on June 1, 2017 and ends on May 31, 2018. Total minimum royalty payments due during this period required to maintain MREC’s exclusive rights under the Co-Venture Agreement are $560,000 including any shortfalls for prior periods being due no later than June 30, 2018. By fully funding the Minimum Royalty Payment, MREC will retain its exclusive license to use the Company’s shooting scenario content and other intellectual property in MREC’s facilities for a future 12-month period in accordance with the Co-Venture Agreement.

 

In addition, on August 16, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Co-Venture Agreement to permit MREC to sublicense the VirTra Technology to third party operators of stand-alone location-based entertainment companies. MREC agreed to pay us royalties for any such sublicenses in an amount equal to 10% of the revenue paid to MREC in cases where MREC pays for the cost of the equipment for such location or 14% of the revenue paid to MREC in cases where it does not pay for the cost of the equipment.

 

On August 17, 2017, VirTra paid the aggregate purchase price of Tranche 1 Warrants and Tranche 2 Warrants of $773,495 reduced by the minimum royalty payment of $118,427 for net cash payment to MREC totaling $655,068.

 

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On August 23, 2017, our board approved, subject to shareholder approval at the annual meeting of shareholders on October 6, 2017, the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan is intended to make available incentives that will assist us to attract, retain and motivate employees, including officers, consultants and directors. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units and other cash-based or stock-based awards.

 

A total of 2,375,000 shares of our common stock will be initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan. This reserve will automatically increase on January 1, 2018 and each subsequent anniversary through 2027, by an amount equal to the smaller of (a) 3% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (b) an amount determined by the board.

 

Awards may be granted under the Equity Plan to our employees, including officers, directors or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. All awards will be evidenced by a written agreement between us and the holder of the award and may include any of the following: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units and cash-based awards and other stock-based awards.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business Operations

 

VirTra, Inc. (the “Company” or “VirTra”) is engaged in the sale and development of judgmental use of force training simulators and firearms training simulators for law enforcement, military and commercial uses. The Company sells simulators and related products worldwide through a direct sales force and international distribution partners. The original business started in 1993 as Ferris Productions, Inc. In September 2001, Ferris Productions, Inc. merged with GameCom, Inc. to ultimately become VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas Corporation.

 

Effective as of October 1, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), the Company completed a conversion from a Texas corporation to a Nevada corporation pursuant to a Redomestication Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 23, 2016 and its shareholders on September 16, 2016. On the Effective Date, 15,855,005 shares of common stock of VirTra Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation, were converted into 15,855,005 shares of Common Stock of VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation. No shareholders exercised appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights for such shares in accordance with the Texas Business Organization Code.

 

As part of the Plan of Conversion, the Company filed Articles of Incorporation in Nevada whereby it changed its name from VirTra Systems, Inc. to VirTra, Inc. and revised its capitalization. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation filed in Nevada authorized the Company to issue 125,000,000 shares, of which (1) 120,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of which (a) 100,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.0001, (b) 5,000,000 shares shall be Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and (c) 15,000,000 shares shall be Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) and (2) 5,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors be issued in one or more series (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company also adopted new bylaws as part of the Plan of Conversion.

 

Effective October 20, 2016, we affected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references to shares of our common stock in this report refer to the number of shares of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (unless otherwise indicated). After giving effect to the reverse split, there are 15,855,005 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

The corporate office is located in Tempe, Arizona. All transactions are denominated in US dollars.

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), unless otherwise noted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets, income tax valuation allowances and the carrying value of cost basis investments. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments approximates their carrying values at December 31, 2016 and 2015 due to their short maturities. These financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment in MREC, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

   F-24  
 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Accounts receivable are charged off after all reasonable collection efforts have been taken. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $20,000 and $59,266, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on the average cost method. Work in progress and finished goods inventory includes an allocation for capitalized labor and overhead. The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventory and provides reserves when appropriate to reduce inventory to the lower of cost or market to reflect estimated net realizable value. As of December 31, 2016, management has determined that it was necessary to record a reserve of $17,282. There was no inventory reserve recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Investments in Other Companies

 

Minority investments in other companies are accounted for under the cost method of accounting because the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the companies’ operations. Under the cost method of accounting, investments in private companies are carried at cost and are only adjusted for other-than- temporary declines in fair value and distribution of earnings. For investments in public companies that have readily determinable fair values, the Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale, and accordingly records these investments at their fair values with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and in total comprehensive income (loss). Upon sale or liquidation, realized gains and losses are included in the statements of operations.

 

Management regularly evaluates the recoverability of its investment based on the investee company’s performance and financial position. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not recognize any losses due to other-than-temporary declines of the value of the investments. In addition, management regularly assesses the classification of its investments.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of depreciation. Gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets are recognized in operations in the period incurred. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Depreciation commences at the time the assets are placed in service. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets or for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term, which are summarized as follows:

 

Computer equipment     3-5 years  
Furniture and office equipment     5-7 years  
Leasehold improvements     7 years  

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

Net revenues include sales of products and services and are net of discounts. Product sales consist of simulators, upgrade components, scenarios, scenario software, recoil kits, Threat-FireTM and other accessories. Services include installation, training, limited warranties, service agreements and related support. Certain components of the Company’s sales include multiple elements comprising of both products and services. The Company’s revenue recognition falls under ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements, with the delivery of the simulator and installation being two separate deliverables. The Company’s delivery of the simulator and the installation has been assessed to qualify as separate units of accounting:

 

1. The simulator unit upon shipment or delivery and customer acceptance, depending on the shipping terms

 

2. The installation upon completion and customer sign-off.

 

   F-25  
 

 

Additionally, the Company recognizes revenue for these products and services when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is considered realized and earned when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred and/or services have been rendered; (iii) the price is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Shipping fees charged to customers are recorded as a component of net revenues. All sales and sales contracts, including international sales, have been denominated in US dollars.

 

Products

 

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Delivery is considered complete when products have been shipped to the customer and title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer. For customers other than United States governmental agencies, the Company generally requires deposits in advance of shipment for customer sales orders. Customer deposits are recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet and totaled $51,334 and $658,426 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Services

 

Services include installation of product, separately priced extended limited warranties on parts and labor, and technical support. Revenue is recognized for service contracts as earned, which is generally upon completion of installation or, as it relates to the extended warranties, on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The Company does warranty its products from manufacturing defects on a limited basis for a period of one year after purchase, but also sells separately priced extended warranties for periods of up to four years after the expiration of the standard one year warranty. After the one year standard warranty expires and during the term of the extended warranty, if the device fails to operate properly from defects in materials and workmanship, the Company will fix or replace the defective product. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties longer than one year totaled $2,014,571 and $865,415 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company records a gross to net revenue adjustment and accrues on an annual basis the estimated cost of complying with the warranty agreements for the next fiscal year. The accrual for the one-year manufacturer’s warranty liability totaled $122,000 and $77,400 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Cost of Products Sold

 

Cost of products sold represents manufacturing costs, consisting of materials, labor and overhead related to finished goods and components. Shipping costs incurred related to product delivery are included in cost of products sold.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Costs associated with advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $448,948 and $365,920 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These costs include domestic and international tradeshows, website, and sales promotional materials.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily include expenses, including labor, directly related to research and development support. Research and development costs were $1,100,000 and $1,666,000 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions with high credit standings. The FDIC insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. The Company had uninsured cash and cash equivalents of $2,986,694 and $3,141,304 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

   F-26  
 

 

Sales are typically made on credit and the Company generally does not require collateral. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for estimated losses. Historically, the Company has experienced minimal charges relative to doubtful accounts.

 

Historically, the Company primarily sells its products to United States federal and state agencies. No single federal or state customer comprised more than 10% of total net sales in the year ended December 31, 2016. One federal agency comprised 36.9% of total net sales in the year ended December 31, 2015. One international customer comprised 17.9% and 0.0% of total net sales in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Overall, just one single customer exceeded 10% of net sales for 2016 and one single customer exceeded 10% of net sales for 2015. The Company’s accounts receivable balances were with twenty-four customers and fifteen customers as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The Company currently purchases small machined parts, custom assemblies and electronic components from suppliers located in the United States. Although the Company currently obtains many of these components from single source suppliers, the Company could seek to have the parts, custom assemblies and electronic components manufactured elsewhere. On August 16, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and acquired a machine shop where the Company can manufacture many of the components needed. This transaction will mitigate the risk associated with single source suppliers. The Company acquires its components on a purchase order basis and does not have long-term contracts with suppliers.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company calculates a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes are required.

 

In assessing realizable deferred tax assets, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets will or will not be realized. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for all net deferred tax assets.

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions. Interest or penalties, if any, will be recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no significant unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. Tax positions are positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions expected to be taken in a future tax return that are reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements.

 

The Company reflects tax benefits, only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain the tax return position, based on its technical merits. If a tax benefit meets this criterion, it is measured and recognized based on the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

The Company is potentially subject to tax audits for its United States federal and Arizona state income tax returns for tax years ended 2014 to 2016 and 2013 to 2016, respectively; however, earlier years may be subject to audit under certain circumstances. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Long lived assets, such as equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company concluded that there has been no indication of impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. As such, no impairment has been recorded.

 

   F-27  
 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company calculates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the resulting estimates of weighted-average fair value per share of options granted during those periods, are as follows:

 

      December 31, 2016       December 31, 2015  
                 
Volatility     95% to 150%       106% to 113%  
Risk-free interest rate     1% to 2%       1% to 2%  
Expected term     7 years       5 - 7 years  

 

The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not plan to pay any dividends in the near future. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards and other options is amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the relevant vesting period. As share-based compensation expense recognized is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company’s forfeiture rate was calculated based on its historical experience of awards which ultimately vested.

 

Net income per Common Share

 

The net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. Weighted average common shares outstanding and dilutive shares consisted of the following as of December 31:

 

    2016     2015  
Net income   $ 2,050,022     $ 1,536,983  
Weighted average common stock outstanding     15,834,046       15,825,880  
Incremental shares from stock options     470,210       862,227  
Incremental shares from warrants     302,481       0  
Weighted average common stock outstanding - diluted     16,606,737       16,688,107  
Net income per common share and common equivalent shares Basic   $ 0.13     $ 0.10  
Diluted   $ 0.12     $ 0.09  

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB continues to release guidance clarifying certain aspects of the revenue guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and has not yet determined the effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 

   F-28  
 

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17 – “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The amendment’s purpose is to require deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position (Balance Sheet). This accounting guidance will become effective beginning in the first quarter of 2017. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures from the adoption of this updated standard.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. This ASU will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”) that introduces a new methodology for accounting for credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for- sale debt securities. The guidance establishes a new “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments by using all practical and relevant information. Any expected credit losses are to be reflected as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2016-13 may have on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 5. Collaboration Agreement

 

On January 16, 2015, the Company entered into a Co-Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) with Modern Round, LLC (“Modern Round”), a related party. Modern Round is in the business of developing and operating a combined dining and entertainment concept centered on an indoor shooting experience. The Agreement provides Modern Round access to certain software and related technology relating to firearm simulation training. The Company received 1,365,789 units, representing a 5% ownership interest in Modern Round on the date of the Agreement. The Company recorded the investment at the estimated fair value of the units received which were valued at $0.10 per unit based on Modern Round’s other membership unit sales . As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $136,579, which is recorded in other income on the statement of operations. The Modern Round equity securities are accounted for as a cost method investment as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Modern Round.

 

The Agreement also provides the Company conditional warrants to purchase 1,365,789 units, representing an additional 5% of Modern Round as at the date of the Agreement, at an exercise price of $0.25. Such warrants are exercisable on the first anniversary of the opening of Modern Round’s first facility and ending five years from the date of grant. In addition, on April 14, 2015 Modern Round issued the Company an option to purchase 125,000 units. The option fully vested and became exercisable on the date of grant at an exercise price equal to $0.50 per unit. The April 14, 2015 option terminates on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, if not earlier pursuant to the terms of the option.

 

The Agreement further provided VirTra with certain anti-dilution rights, including the right to acquire units to assure the Company’s ownership of 1% of the outstanding units on a fully diluted basis, as well as the right to purchase up to 5% of any unit offering. These anti-dilution rights terminated on December 31, 2015 upon the completion of a Plan of Merger between Modern Round, LLC and Nuvola Merger SubCo., a subsidiary of Nuvola Inc. (“NMS”), (the “Merger Agreement”), the result of which was that NMS was merged with and into Modern Round with Modern Round continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuvola Inc. (the “Modern Round Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement each unit of Modern Round issued and outstanding as of the effective time, automatically converted into the right to receive approximately 1.2277 shares of Nuvola, Inc. (the “Conversion Ratio”). On December 31, 2015, Modern Round completed the Modern Round Merger discussed above. On February 11, 2016 Nuvola, Inc. filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that had the effect of, among other matters, changing the name of the company to Modern Round Entertainment Corporation (“MREC”).

 

   F-30  
 

 

As a result of the Modern Round Merger, the Company held 1,676,748 shares of MREC, options to purchase 153,459 shares of MREC at an exercise price of $.41 per share, and conditional warrants to purchase 1,676,747 shares of MREC at an exercise price of $.20 per share. On October 20, 2016, the Company exercised the warrant and purchased 1,676,747 shares of stock for $335,349 resulting in the Company’s aggregate holdings of MREC increasing to 3,353,495 common shares representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of MREC.

 

As part of this Co-Venture Agreement, the Company granted 919,382 conditional warrants to affiliates of MREC, a related party, to purchase 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Agreement. The conditional warrants are exercisable commencing at the earlier of the first anniversary of MREC opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology or after MREC opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology and the payment of all required US/Canada Minimum Royalty Payments during the first 12 month period has been made to VirTra. MREC subsequently opened its first location on June 1, 2016.

 

The Company also granted 919,382 of additional conditional warrants to affiliates of MREC to purchase another 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the Agreement date. These conditional warrants are exercisable any time subsequent to MREC’s payment of $2.0 million in cumulative license fees (royalty). Cumulative license fees (royalty) earned and paid to the Company amounted to $90,047 and $0 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Both conditional warrant issuances are for a period of five years with an exercise price of $1.36. These contingent considerations for the equity investment do not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 as of December 31, 2016. As such, the contingent consideration is not included in the cost of the equity investment until the contingency is resolved and the warrant becomes exercisable.

 

The Agreement grants MREC an exclusive non-transferrable license to use the Company’s technology solely for use at locations to operate the Concept, as defined in the Agreement. The license would become non-exclusive to the extent the first U.S. location is not opened within 24 months of the effective date and at least one location is opened outside the U.S. and Canada within five years of the Agreement date, the respective milestone dates. Through the termination of the Agreement, MREC will pay the Company a high single digit royalty on Gross Revenue, as defined and subject to certain minimum royalties commencing with the first twelve month period subsequent to the respective milestone date. The Company earned $90,047 and $0 for license fees (royalties) in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 22,500 stock options to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.40; 22,500 stock options to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.12; 22,500 stock options to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.095 and 25,833 stock options to purchase shares of common stock are a purchase price of $2.70. All of the options are exercisable within seven years of grant date. These stock options were issued to the CEO, COO and members of the Board of Directors.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, related parties redeemed 375,000 previously awarded options reaching expiration. These redemptions resulted in $341,838 in additional compensation expense in 2016, of which $293,188 were related to redemptions by the Company’s CEO and COO.

 

On July 1, 2016, 50,000 shares of the Series A Preferred shares were issued to Robert Ferris, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director and he paid $2,500 for these shares. Effective on September 16, 2016, these same 50,000 shares of the Series A Preferred shares were automatically redeemed from Mr. Ferris by the Company for $2,500 and cancelled.

 

Mr. Saltz who is a member of our Board of Directors is also Chairman of the Board of Directors of Modern Round Entertainment Company, as well as, a majority stockholder of MREC. The Company has entered into a Co-venture Agreement with MREC as disclosed in Note 5. In addition, the Company owns 3,353,495 shares of MREC common stock representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of MREC common stock.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Lease Obligations

 

The Company’s operating lease obligations primarily relate to a facility lease for the Company’s corporate office space located at 7970 South Kyrene Road, Tempe, Arizona 85284, which expires in April, 2019, unless renewed. As part of the purchase of Profiles Tools & Engineering on August 2, 2016, discussed in Note 7, the Company assumed the lease for the building at 2169 East 5th St., Tempe, Arizona 85284, which expired in March, 2017 but was renewed until March, 2018.

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

 

2017   $ 314,921  
2018     313,553  
2019     105,542  
Total   $ 734,016  

 

The Company has a liability of $122,126 and $159,941 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, relative to the increasing future minimum lease payments. Rent expense was $380,522 and $360,562 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

General or Threatened Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company is notified of threatened litigation or that a claim is being made against it. The Company’s policy is to not disclose the specifics of any claim or threatened lawsuit until such complaint is actually served on the Company. On October 20, 2016 a former employee filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, District of Arizona against the Company alleging its failure and/or refusal to pay overtime in violation of 29 U.S.C. Sec. 201, et. seq. and a claim for wrongfully withheld wages under A.R.S. Sec. 23-350 et. seq. The complaint seeks certification of class action status, declaratory relief, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and such other relief the Court deems just and proper. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself. While acknowledging the uncertainties of litigation with an unfavorable ruling resulting in monetary damages against us, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material effect on its earnings, cash flows, or financial position.

 

Employment Agreements

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into three-year Employment Agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer that call for base annual salaries of $195,000 and $175,000, respectively, subject to cost of living adjustments, and contain automatic one-year extension provisions. These contracts have been renewed annually with upward adjustments each year. If the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer are terminated by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, or if the Executive voluntarily terminates his own employment for Good Reason but not including a Change in Control, then the Company shall, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreements, be obligated to pay the Executive an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect on the day preceding the date of such termination or (b) the Executive’s annual base salary during the twelve full calendar months preceding the date of such termination, times three. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs while the Executive is an employee of the Company and within 36 months from the date of such Change in Control the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for any reason (except for the death or disability of the Executive or for Cause) or the Executive terminates his employment for any reason, then the Company shall, subject to certain limitations, pay the Executive any earned and accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus an amount of severance pay equal to the greater of (a) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect on the day preceding the date on which the Change of Control occurred or (b) the Executive’s annual base salary during the twelve full calendar months preceding the date on which the Change of Control occurred, times four. These employment agreements have been automatically extended.

Profit Sharing

 

VirTra provides a discretionary Profit Sharing program that pays out a percentage of company profits each year as a cash bonus to active and eligible employees. The cash payment is typically split into two equal payments and distributed pro-rata to employees in April and October of the following year after the completion of the annual financial audit. For the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount charged to operations was fifteen percent (15%) of net profit.

 

Note 8. Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On August 2, 2016, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Profiles Tool and Engineering, Inc., an Arizona corporation that operated an engineering and custom machining facility in Mesa, AZ (“Profiles”). The total purchase price, including assumed liabilities, was $286,220 and is considered an asset acquisition as the assets assumed only support the Company’s existing assembly operations. With the purchase of this machine shop the Company is able to build parts directly and more efficiently.

 

Note 9. Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including excess tax benefits of share-based payments, based on the tax ordering of deductions to be used on its tax returns. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is as follows:

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
             
Deferred tax assets                
Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 1,739,000     $ 2,062,000  
Deferred revenue     826,000       609,000  
Non-qualified stock option expense     540,000       467,000  
Reserves, accruals and other     133,000       146,000  
Tax intangible assets and accumulated depreciation/amortization     1,187,000       1,566,000  
Total deferred tax assets     4,425,000       4,850,000  
Less: Valuation allowance     (4,425,000 )     (4,850,000 )
 Net deferred tax assets   $ -     $ -  

 

The company maintains a valuation allowance equal to the potential benefit of the net deferred tax assets.

 

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three year period. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred but we have not analyzed it at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved. The Company believes it has approximately $6.1 million of federal net operating loss carry-forwards that are available to offset future taxable income that expire in various years through 2034. The state net operation loss carry-forward was fully utilized in the tax year 2015.

 

Significant components of the (provision) benefit for income tax as follows:

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
                 
Current   $ 103,000     $ 89,000  
Deferred     425,000       539,000  
Change in valuation allowance     (425,000 )     (539,000 )
Provision for income taxes   $ 103,000     $ 89,000  

 

   F-33  
 

 

The Company is subject to federal and state taxes. A reconciliation of the Company’s effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate is as follows:

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
             
Federal income tax benefit at the statutory rate   $ 697,000     $ 553,000  
State income taxes, net of federal benefit     103,000       89,000  
Permanent differences     (16,000 )     (14,000 )
Tax return true-ups     (256,000 )     -  
Change in valuation allowance     (425,000 )     (539,000 )
Provision for income taxes   $ 103,000     $ 89,000

$.40 - $2.99       1,115,833     $ 0.77       1,075,833     $ 0.79  

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable were $1,997,415 and $1,363,099 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that have an exercise price lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Options with an exercise price above the fair value of the Company’s common stock are considered to have no intrinsic value. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is $181,786 and $133,552, respectively.

 

On March 9, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a program under which the Company may repurchase outstanding vested Company stock options on an exception basis. Under the terms of the program, the Company’s CEO or COO may cause the Company to redeem for cash any positive stock options for the net value of the stock option (stock price on the redemption date minus strike price). The cash redemption of stock options held by the CEO or COO must be approved by the Company’s independent directors. Any redeemed options are immediately cancelled. The Company retains the right to reject any redemption request that is not in the best interest of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company redeemed 500,000 stock options for $554,338 of which $212,500 has been previously expensed in 2009 using the Black-Scholes fair value method with the balance of $341,838 being recognized as additional compensation cost during 2016. This amount is included in the accompanying statement of operations in general and administrative expense. Management does not expect to have significant volume of cash redemptions in the future, and has thus determined that equity classification for these awards remains appropriate.

 

Warrants

 

As part of the January 2015 Co-Venture Agreement, the Company granted conditional warrants to affiliates of Modern Round Entertainment Company, a related party, to purchase 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The conditional warrants are exercisable commencing at the earlier of the first anniversary of Modern Round opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology or after Modern Round opening its first range facility utilizing VirTra Technology and the payment of all required US/Canada Minimum Royalty Payments during the first 12 month period has been made to VirTra. The Company also granted 1,838,764 conditional warrants to affiliates of Modern Round to purchase 5% of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis, which are exercisable any time subsequent to Modern Round’s payment of $2.0 million in royalty fees. The conditional warrants have a contractual term of five years and an exercise price of $1.36.

 

Note 12. Subsequent Events

 

In January, 2017 VirTra executed a lease addendum on its 2169 E Fifth Street location for the renewal period April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018 at a new monthly lease of $3,600 base rent plus $226 common area maintenance per month.

The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) and any subsequent closing (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) shall take place at the office of the Representative or such other location as the Representative, the Company shall mutually agree. The Initial Closing and all Subsequent Closings shall each be referred to as a “Closing.” All actions taken at a Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously on the date of such Closing.

 

(ii)       If the Requisite Funds have not been received immediately prior to the initial Closing Date, the Offering will not proceed and the Escrow Agent will promptly return the funds to the investors without interest.

 

  2  

 

 

(iii)       On each Closing Date, the Company will issue to the Representative (and/or its designee) the Boustead Warrant. The Boustead Warrant shall have an exercise price per share equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the price per Share as shown on the cover page of the Final Offering Circular. The Boustead Warrant will be exercisable for a term of five years beginning on the Qualification Date (as defined below). The Representative understands and agrees that there are significant restrictions pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 5110 against transferring the Boustead Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock during the one hundred eighty (180) days after the Qualification Date and by its acceptance thereof shall agree that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate the Boustead Warrant, or any portion thereof, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Qualification Date to anyone other than (i) the Representative or selected dealer in connection with the Offering contemplated hereby or (ii) a bona fide officer or partner of the Representative or selected dealer; and only if any such transferee agrees to the foregoing lock-up restrictions.

This indemnity agreement is not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability, which the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Underwriter Indemnified Party.

 

(b)       Reserved.

 

  21  

 

 

(c)       Indemnification by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company’s directors, its officers who signed the Final Offering Circular and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Company Indemnified Parties” and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), to which such Company Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use, or (ii) the omission to state in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Underwriter expressly for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriter’s Information and shall reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(c), in no event shall any indemnity by the Underwriter under this Section 10(c) exceed the total discount and commission received by the Underwriter in connection with the Offering.

 

(d)       Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 10 except to the extent it has been materially adversely prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under 10(a), (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time any such indemnified party (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter if the indemnified party under this Section 10 is an Underwriter Indemnified Party or by the Company if an indemnified party under this Section 10 is a Company Indemnified Party. Subject to this Section 10(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 10 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated herein effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

 

  22  

 

 

(e)       Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand from the offering of the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 10(e) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 10(e) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company or on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Shares purchased by investors as contemplated by this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting commissions received by the Underwriter in connection with the Offering, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Offering Circular. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter for use in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, consists solely of the Underwriter’s Information. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commission received in cash by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering less the amount of any damages that the Underwriters have otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

Section 11. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the initial Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NASDAQ; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or Delaware authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Final Offering Circular or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to the Representative, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of each Underwriter as provided for herein, (b) the Underwriter to the Company, or (c) of any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 (with respect to the reimbursement of out-of-pocket accountable, bona fide expenses actually incurred by the Underwriter or persons associated with the Underwriter) and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

2.       Exercise.

 

2.1       Exercise Form. In order to exercise this Purchase Warrant, the exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) must be duly executed and completed and delivered to the Company, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or by certified check or official bank check to the order of the Company. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date, this Purchase Warrant shall become and be void without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

 

2.2       Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Purchase Warrant by payment of cash or check payable to the order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 above, Holder may elect to receive the number of Shares equal to the value of this Purchase Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Purchase Warrant to the Company, together with the Exercise Form, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder, Shares in accordance with the following formula:

 

 

Where, X = The number of Shares to be issued to Holder;
Y = The number of Shares for which the Purchase Warrant is being exercised;
A = The fair market value of one Share; and
B = The Exercise Price.

 

For purposes of this Section 2.2, the fair market value of a Share is defined as follows:

 

(i)       if the Company’s common stock is traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the weighted average price of the Shares on such exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the Exercise Form being submitted in connection with the exercise of this Purchase Warrant; or

 

(ii)       if the Company’s common stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the weighted average price of the Shares for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Exercise Form being submitted in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Warrant; if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

2.3       Legend. Each certificate for the securities purchased under this Purchase Warrant shall bear a legend as follows unless such securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”):

 

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or applicable state law. Neither the securities nor any interest therein may be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state law which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, is available.”

 

  A-2  

 

 

3.       Transfer.

 

3.1       General Restrictions. The registered Holder of this Purchase Warrant agrees by his, her or its acceptance hereof, that such Holder will not for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Qualification Date of the Offering Statement: (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this Purchase Warrant to anyone other than: (i) Boustead or an underwriter or a selected dealer participating in the offering (the “Offering”) contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, or (ii) officers or partners of Boustead, each of whom shall have agreed to the restrictions contained herein, in accordance with FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(g)(1), or (b) cause this Purchase Warrant or the securities issuable hereunder to be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this Purchase Warrant or the securities hereunder, except as provided for in FINRA Rule 5110(g)(2). On and after that date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Qualification Date of the Offering Statement, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, the Holder must deliver to the Company the assignment form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed and completed, together with this Purchase Warrant and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith. The Company shall within five (5) Business Days transfer this Purchase Warrant on the books of the Company and shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant or Purchase Warrants of like tenor to the appropriate assignee(s) expressly evidencing the right to purchase the aggregate number of Shares purchasable hereunder or such portion of such number as shall be contemplated by any such assignment.

 

3.2       Restrictions Imposed by the Act. The securities evidenced by this Purchase Warrant shall not be transferred unless and until: (i) the Company has received the opinion of counsel for the Holder that the securities may be transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws, the availability of which is established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, (ii) a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of such securities that includes a current prospectus with respect to which the Holder has exercised its registration rights pursuant to Section 4.2 herein, has been filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and compliance with applicable state securities law has been established.

 

4.       Registration Rights.

 

4.1       Demand Registration.

 

4.1.1       Grant of Right. The Company, upon written demand (a “Demand Notice”) of the Holder(s) of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Purchase Warrants and/or the underlying shares (“Majority Holders”), agrees to register, on one occasion, all or any portion of the shares underlying the Purchase Warrants that are permitted to be registered under the Act (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). On such occasion, the Company will file a registration statement with the Commission covering the Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand Notice and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective promptly thereafter, subject to compliance with review by the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Notice if the Company has filed a registration statement with respect to which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if such registration statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the Company, until the offering covered by such registration statement has been withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The demand for registration may be made at any time during a period of four (4) years beginning on the Exercise Date. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Purchase Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten (10) days after the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice.

 

4.1.2       Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.1.1, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the filing required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such registration would cause: (i) the Company to be obligated to register or license to do business in such State or submit to general service of process in such State, or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 4.1.1 to remain effective for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months after the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement are first given the opportunity to sell all of such securities. The Holders shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the shares covered by such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.1.2, the Holder shall be entitled to a demand registration under this Section 4.1.2 on only one (1) occasion and such demand registration right shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the qualification date of the registration statement in accordance with FINRA 5110(f)(2)(G)(iv).

 

4.2       “Piggy-Back” Registration.

 

4.2.1       Grant of Right. Unless all of the Shares underlying the Purchase Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) are included in an effective registration statement with a current prospectus, the Holder shall have the right, for a period of five (5) years commencing one hundred eighty (180) days after the Qualification Date, to include the remaining Registrable Securities as part of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145 promulgated under the Act or pursuant to Form S-3 or any equivalent form); provided, however, that if, solely in connection with any primary underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall, in its reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the registration statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall reasonably permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities.

 

  A-3  

 

 

4.2.2       Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.2.1 hereof, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than thirty (30) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each registration statement filed by the Company until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holder. The holders of the Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. Except as otherwise provided in this Purchase Warrant, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holder may request registration under this Section 4.2.2.

 

4.3       General Terms.

 

4.3.1       Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter contained in Section 5.1 of the Underwriting Agreement. The Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section 5.2 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to indemnify the Company.

 

4.3.2       Exercise of Purchase Warrants. Nothing contained in this Purchase Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Purchase Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.

 

4.3.3       Documents Delivered to Holders. If the registration statement includes an underwritten public offering, the Company shall furnish to each underwriter of any such offering, a signed counterpart, addressed to such underwriter, of: (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated as of the date on which the Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter for sale pursuant to such registration, and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter dated the effective date of such registration statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement signed by the independent registered public accounting firm which has issued a report on the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriter(s) in underwritten public offerings of securities. The Company shall also deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter(s) to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times as any such Holder shall reasonably request.

 

  A-4  

 

 

4.3.4       Underwriting Agreement. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s), if any, selected by any Holders whose Registrable Securities are being registered pursuant to this Section 4, which managing underwriter shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing Underwriter, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holders shall be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of such Underwriter(s) shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the Underwriter(s) except as they may relate to such Holders, their Shares and their intended methods of distribution.

 

4.3.5       Documents to be Delivered by Holder(s). Each of the Holder(s) participating in any of the foregoing offerings shall furnish to the Company a completed and executed questionnaire provided by the Company requesting information customarily sought of selling security holders.

 

4.3.6       Damages. Should the registration or the effectiveness thereof required by Section 4.3 hereof be delayed by the Company or the Company otherwise fails to comply with such provisions, the Holder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief available to the Holder(s), be entitled to obtain specific performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach of such provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity of posting bond or other security.

 

4.3.7       Rule 144 Registration. The provisions of this Section 4 shall be inapplicable to the extent the Registrable Securities become eligible for sale by the Holder without the need for current pubic information or other restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act.

 

5.       New Purchase Warrants to be Issued.

 

5.1       Partial Exercise or Transfer. Subject to the restrictions in Section 3 hereof, this Purchase Warrant may be exercised or assigned in whole or in part. In the event of the exercise or assignment hereof in part only, upon surrender of this Purchase Warrant for cancellation, together with the duly executed exercise or assignment form and funds sufficient to pay any Exercise Price and/or transfer tax if exercised pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without charge a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor to this Purchase Warrant in the name of the Holder evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Purchase Warrant has not been exercised or assigned.

 

  A-5  

 

 

5.2       Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Purchase Warrant and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Purchase Warrant of like tenor and date. Any such new Purchase Warrant executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Company.

 

6.       Adjustments.

 

6.1       Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares underlying this Purchase Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

6.1.1       Share Dividends; Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Shares or by a split up of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective day thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased.

 

6.1.2       Aggregation of Shares. If, after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below, the number of outstanding Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

 

6.1.3       Replacement of Shares upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares other than a change covered by Section 6.1.1 or Section 6.1.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Shares, or in the case of any share reconstruction or amalgamation or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Holder of this Purchase Warrant shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of the right of exercise of this Purchase Warrant) to receive upon the exercise hereof, for the same aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder immediately prior to such event, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, share reconstruction or amalgamation, or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, by a Holder of the number of Shares of the Company obtainable upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in Shares covered by Section 6.1.1 or Section 6.1.2, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 6.1.1, Section 6.1.2 and this Section 6.1.3.

6.2       Substitute Purchase Warrant. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or share reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company with or into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Shares), the corporation formed by such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplemental Purchase Warrant providing that the holder of each Purchase Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the stated expiration of such Purchase Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Purchase Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or share reconstruction or amalgamation, by a holder of the number of Shares of the Company for which such Purchase Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, share reconstruction or amalgamation, sale or transfer.

The Company further covenants and agrees that upon exercise of this Purchase Warrant and payment of the exercise price therefor, all Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights of any shareholder.

Where the Parties are unable to agree on such a formula, however, the Parties hereby agree to enter into a mediated negotiation, including representatives of Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP (or such other public accounting firm that the Parties may elect), to attempt to reach agreement as to such formula. Provided, however, that where the Parties are unable to reach such agreement after negotiations of at least thirty (30) days, then in such case either Party may terminate this Agreement, including all licenses and rights to receive Royalties hereunder, upon notice to the other Party. VirTra acknowledges and agrees that the use of VirTra executives should be very limited and only on an “as needed” basis for specific tasks and projects that require their technical expertise that is directly related to the development of the Project and not for their general managerial expertise. The sum of the Development Expense and Overhead per month in the Development Budget will be defined as the “Monthly Expense.” The aggregate amount per month for the costs listed under subsection (c) above in the Development Budget will be defined as the “Capital Expense.” For example, if VirTra must purchase a new computer system or new software licenses from vendors needed to perform work for Modern Round, then those purchases would be considered Capital Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Development Budget is a preliminary estimate and that the exact scope of the development effort and the actual costs associated with the development of the Project are unknown. Accordingly, revisions to the Development Budget are likely to be necessary as the Project and requirements for operating the Concept are further identified and finalized. It is the objective of the Parties that VirTra is to be reimbursed its actual employee pay and Overhead costs to achieve “break-even” for VirTra. The Parties shall meet from time to time and discuss the calculation of Overhead, and shall, where reasonably necessary, amend this Agreement to reflect a different means of such calculation. In no event will Modern Round use Royalty payments earned by VirTra as an offset against Monthly Expenses described in this Section 2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT IT IS THEIR SHARED INTENT THAT VIRTRA NEITHER MAKE NOR LOSE ANY MONEY IN THE COURSE OF DEVELOPING THE PROJECT HEREUNDER.

Each Party agrees to cooperate and cause all necessary and appropriate employees and authorized contractors of such Party, and those of its Affiliates, to cooperate in such Party’s performance obligations under this Agreement; specifically VirTra will staff for the Project to levels as directed and approved by Modern Round. Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely complete the Collaboration Activities set forth herein, and each Party agrees to cooperate in good faith to allow the other Party to achieve completion of the assigned activities in a timely and professional manner. Each Party understands and agrees that the other Party’s performance of the assigned activities may depend on timely approvals and completion of certain tasks or adherence to schedules within the other Party’s control.

Validation shall include the validation requirements as applicable for the end product, prototype, or part, the processes and all lower level component/sub-assemblies and related materials to be used. In addition to validation testing, Modern Round agrees that testing with representative customers prior to public release is important to ensure success and will be used as needed and a part of the Development Budget.

 

2.7 Ownership. Specifically excluding the Noma Software, VirTra shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Existing Scenarios, the Scenarios, the Integrated Software, and the Customizations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of any Indemnitee set forth in this Section 10 may apply, the indemnifying Party will promptly notify such Indemnitees, which will then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party will be responsible for payment of such expenses if such Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party.

11.6 Dispute Resolution. Any disputes arising between the Parties relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement or any term or condition hereof, or the performance by either Party of its obligations hereunder, whether before or after termination of this Agreement, will be resolved as follows:

 

(a) Senior Management. Disputes will be submitted to escalating levels of Modern Round’s and VirTra’s senior management for review.

 

(b) Arbitration. If the senior management of the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within a thirty (30) day period following such escalation, either Party may submit the matter to binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 11.6(b). Except as specified below, the arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of, and under the auspices of, the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator with relevant technical expertise who is jointly selected by the Parties or, if the Parties cannot mutually agree, is selected by the AAA administrator and is not employed by and does not have a material financial relationship with, a Party or any of its Affiliates. The arbitration shall take place at a location that is jointly selected by the Parties or, if the Parties cannot mutually agree, is selected by such AAA administrator. This Agreement will remain in effect pending completion of the proceedings brought under this Section 11.6(b). Within ten (10) business days after the arbitrator is selected, each Party will submit to the arbitrator that Party’s proposed resolution of the dispute and justification therefor. All arbitration proceedings must be completed within thirty (30) days after the arbitration is convened. The Parties hereby agree that the arbitrator has authority to issue rulings and orders regarding all procedural and evidentiary matters that the arbitrator deems reasonable and necessary with or without petition therefor by the Parties as well as the final ruling and judgment. Rulings will be issued by written order summarizing the arbitration proceedings. Any judgment or award by the arbitrator in any dispute will have the same force and effect as the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this arbitration clause will prevent either Party from seeking a pre-award attachment of assets or injunctive relief to enforce its rights in intellectual property, confidentiality, or non-solicit obligations under this Agreement, or to enjoin any event that might cause irreparable injury, in a court of competent jurisdiction prior to an award on the merits by the arbitrator.

 

11.7 Amendment. No amendment, modification or supplement of any provision of this Agreement will be valid or effective unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of each Party.

 

11.8 Waiver. No provision of the Agreement will be waived by any act, omission or knowledge of a Party or its agents or employees except by an instrument in writing expressly waiving such provision and signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving Party.

 

11.9 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. No failure on the part of Modern Round or VirTra to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

 

11.10 Severability. If any clause or portion thereof in this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same will not affect any other portion of this Agreement, as it is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement will be construed in such fashion as to maintain its existence, validity and enforceability to the greatest extent possible. In any such event, this Agreement will be construed as if such clause or portion thereof had never been contained in this Agreement, and there will be deemed substituted therefore such provision as will most nearly carry out the intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Additionally, each Party further acknowledges and agrees that they have had the opportunity to consult with counsel of their choosing regarding the terms and conditions of this Agreement and have either done so or freely elected not to do so.

 

11.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No Person other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

 

11.14 Independent Contractors. Both Parties are independent contractors under this Agreement. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties hereto or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party. Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

11.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile signature, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, will be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate.

 

(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled or, if uncertificated, a book entry to that effect, and

 

(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or book entry (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, with a Warrant Amount equal to (x) the Warrant Amount, less (y) the aggregate amount of Exercise Price paid by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant prior to the date of issuance of such new warrant (including, in the event of any Net Exercise, the aggregate value of such amount of Shares foregone in such Net Exercise (calculated as X minus Y under the formula set forth in Section 4 below, as applied to such Net Exercise)).

 

Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder that Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

 

   Exhibit A-2  

 

 

 

 

Where

 

  X = The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
     
  Y = The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation).
     
  A = The fair market value of one (1) Share (at the date of such calculation).
     
  B = The Exercise Price per Share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the following: (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) the price will be averaged over the fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which “Fair Market Value” is being determined; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per Share as determined jointly by the Board and the Holder.

 

4. Covenants of the Company.

 

(a) Shares Outstanding Notice. Upon request by the Holder at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company shall deliver, the next business day after such request, a certificate of an officer of the Company, representing to the number of Shares outstanding as of the date of delivery by the Company of such notice, so that the Holder may determine the Exercise Price and number of Shares issuable as of such date of delivery. Absent manifest error, the Holder shall be entitled to rely without investigation on such certificate for the purposes of completing and submitting a Notice of Exercise.

 

   Exhibit A-3  

 

 

Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued, and that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action in the opinion of its counsel, to be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 

(b) No Impairment. Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its governing instruments or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

 

5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.

 

Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding Shares shall be subdivided (by any stock split, recapitulation, or otherwise) into a greater number of Shares or if the Company shall pay a dividend or may any other distribution upon the Shares shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, dividend, or distribution be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If outstanding Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

   Exhibit A-4  

 

 

Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)), consolidation or merger of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger, or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 6; and in each such case; appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing party is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value for the Shares reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction), and the terms of this Section 6 shall be applicable to the Shares or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

6. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional share or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

7. No Member Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying this Warrant, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive distributions thereon, Shares or be notified of membership meetings.

 

8. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Arizona as applied to agreements among Arizona residents, made and to be performed entirely within the state of Arizona.

 

9. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.

 

10. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.

 

11. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

VIRTRA SYSTEMS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

 

 

This certifies that ______________________________________ (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price (as defined below), from VirTra Systems Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth below (the “Warrant Amount”) in the Company.

 

15. Purchase of Shares.

 

(a) Warrant Amount. The Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company ____________ shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), representing five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, including Common Stock of the Company subject to options, warrants, and other purchase rights, or _______________ Shares after taking into account warrants granted on the date hereof to other affiliates of Modern Round, L.L.C.

 

Exercise Price. The purchase price for each Share issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be $____________, which is equal to the average of the closing or last price of Common Stock of the Company on its principal trading market during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the issuance of this Warrant. Such purchase price is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.”

 

16. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the term commencing at the time that Modern Round, L.L.C. has paid the Company at least $2,000,000 in Royalty payments pursuant to that Co-Venture Agreement between Modern Round, L.L.C. and the Company and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time five years from the date hereof, which date shall be called the “Expiration Date.”

 

  Exhibit B-1  

 

 

17. Method of Exercise.

 

(a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Unless exercised in accordance with Section 4 below, such exercise shall be effected by the following:

 

(i) the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and

 

(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

 

(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate.

 

(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled or, if uncertificated, a book entry to that effect, and

 

(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or book entry (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, with a Warrant Amount equal to (x) the Warrant Amount, less (y) the aggregate amount of Exercise Price paid by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant prior to the date of issuance of such new warrant (including, in the event of any Net Exercise, the aggregate value of such amount of Shares foregone in such Net Exercise (calculated as X minus Y under the formula set forth in Section 4 below, as applied to such Net Exercise)).

 

Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder that Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

 

 

  Exhibit B-2  

 

 

Where

 

  X= The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.
     
  Y=

The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation).

     
  A= The fair market value of one (1) Share (at the date of such calculation).
     
  B= The Exercise Price per Share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the following: (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) the price will be averaged over the fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which “Fair Market Value” is being determined; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per Share as determined jointly by the Board and the Holder.

 

18. Covenants of the Company.

 

(a) Shares Outstanding Notice. Upon request by the Holder at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company shall deliver, the next business day after such request, a certificate of an officer of the Company, representing to the number of Shares outstanding as of the date of delivery by the Company of such notice, so that the Holder may determine the Exercise Price and number of Shares issuable as of such date of delivery. Absent manifest error, the Holder shall be entitled to rely without investigation on such certificate for the purposes of completing and submitting a Notice of Exercise.

 

Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued, and that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action in the opinion of its counsel, to be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

 

  Exhibit B-3  

 

 

(b) No Impairment. Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its governing instruments or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

 

19. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.

 

Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding Shares shall be subdivided (by any stock split, recapitulation, or otherwise) into a greater number of Shares or if the Company shall pay a dividend or may any other distribution upon the Shares shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, dividend, or distribution be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If outstanding Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)), consolidation or merger of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger, or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 6; and in each such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing party is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value for the Shares reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction), and the terms of this Section 6 shall be applicable to the Shares or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

  Exhibit B-4  

 

 

20. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional share or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

21. No Member Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying this Warrant, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive distributions thereon, Shares or be notified of membership meetings.

 

22. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Arizona as applied to agreements among Arizona residents, made and to be performed entirely within the state of Arizona.

 

23. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.

25. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

VirTra Files Preliminary Offering Circular with the SEC

 

Tempe, Ariz. September 11, 2017VirTra, Inc. (OTCQX: VTSI), (the “Company”), a global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets, announced that it has filed a preliminary offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Regulation A framework, which is open to both accredited and unaccredited investors. VirTra also intends to file an application to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “VTSI.”

 

The purpose of the filing is to enable the Company to issue new shares of common stock to raise gross proceeds of between $5 million and $10 million. Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) will serve as underwriter.  Pricing will be determined at a future date, based on market conditions. The Company cannot predict the timing of when, or if, its offering statement will become qualified with the SEC and/or its application with NASDAQ will be approved, but expects to complete the transactions within 2017. For more information on the offering circular, visit www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html.

 

“This potential offering and the launch of our uplisting efforts are key events in our plans to significantly expand our product and service offerings, greatly enhance our sales and marketing efforts, and ensure that VirTra is poised for growth through strategic acquisitions in our current industry, as well as in the broader virtual reality simulation sector,” said Bob Ferris, CEO, VirTra, Inc.

 

“Becoming an SEC registrant and uplisting to a national exchange, such as NASDAQ, may significantly increase our stature in the capital markets and help us enhance shareholder value. We are pleased to have Boustead Securities leading the effort, given that their expertise in the NASDAQ listing process and Regulation A has proven successful in the past,” said Ferris.

At the meeting held on Friday, October 6, 2017 at the Company’s corporate offices, the shareholders approved, in line with the Board of Directors’ recommendations, all proposals presented at the meeting. Shareholders voted, among other proposals, to elect all five of the director nominees (Robert D. Ferris, Matthew D. Burlend, Mitchell A. Saltz, Jeffrey D. Brown and Jim Richardson, the Company’s newest member of the board).

 

In connection with Mr. Richardson’s election, the size of the Board of Directors was increased from four to five members. Also, the Board of Directors confirmed the independence of Messrs.

Ratified the appointment of Friedman, LLP as VirTra’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Bob Ferris, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VirTra, commented, “Jim brings a deep understanding of the simulation industry and a wealth of experience in strategy execution and business development. He built a startup enterprise into a highly successful long-term investment, and we believe his experience in taking companies to the next level will prove invaluable as we continue to grow VirTra. The addition of a third, independent director meets the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements, enriches board oversight and is a continuation of our commitment to strong corporate governance, an essential element to creating long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.”

 

Mr. Richardson is the co-founder and has been the Chief Executive Officer of NaturalPoint Inc. since 1996. NaturalPoint is a provider of VR (virtual reality) and tracking products that are ubiquitous throughout the simulation industry from major military simulation projects to consumer virtual reality products. Mr. Richardson has had an integral role at NaturalPoint since its formation and is responsible for devising its high-level strategy and the engineering, marketing and sales efforts. Through Mr. Richardson’s efforts, he led the company to profitable revenue growth, enabling it to gain significant market share culminating in its sale to Planar Systems, Inc., a developer, manufacturer and marketer of electronic display products and systems for $125 million in cash. Mr. Richardson studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley.
