1. Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q and by Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete set of annual financial statements. Readers of these statements should read the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 in conjunction therewith. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2009 or for any other interim period.

The financial information as at March 31, 2009 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited; however, such financial information includes all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date included in the Form 10-K.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has incurred losses and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to restore profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. Management is actively targeting sources of additional financing which would assure continuation of the Company’s operations.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to restore profitable operations and continue to raise funds in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the balance sheets.

Intangible assets

   

On May 16, 2003, the Company consummated an agreement for the purchase of certain assets of Telus Corporation (“Telus”) comprised primarily of service agreements for a product sold by Telus known as “Enterphone 2000”. At December 31, 2003, the Company had acquired 2,215 service agreements for which it paid a total of $208,921. At March 31, 2009, the Company held 1,615 service agreements (December 31, 2008 – 1,630) at a cost, net of accumulated amortization of $83,568 (December 31, 2008 - $78,345), of $125,353 (December 31, 2008 - $130,576).

   
5.

Bank indebtedness

   

Bank indebtedness represents cheques written in excess of funds on deposit of $21,864 (December 31, 2008 - $17,775) and amounts drawn under a bank credit facility of $15,000 (December 31, 2008 - $40,000) available to a maximum of $500,000. Amounts outstanding under the bank credit facility bear interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 1.75% and are repayable on demand. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement. The Company is required to maintain a current ratio greater than 1.5:1, measured quarterly, and a debt to tangible net worth ratio less than 1.5:1, measured annually, under the terms of the demand facility agreement. For purposes of debt covenant calculations, amounts due to stockholders are considered a component of equity and not a liability. The Company is also allowed to draw on the credit facility up to 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days. At March 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the ratio requirements.

   

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the bank required additional security for the credit facility consisting of a pledge of personal property of a significant shareholder.

Operating segments:

     

Commencing with the acquisition of the service agreements from Telus on May 16, 2003, as described in Note 4 herein and Note 6 in the financial statements in the most recent Form 10-K, the Company has organized its business into two reportable segments: manufacturing and servicing. The manufacturing segment designs, produces and sells intercom and door access control systems that utilize telecommunications wiring to control access to buildings and other facilities for security purposes. The servicing segment provides maintenance to these intercom and other door access control systems.

The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2 in the financial statements in the most recent Form 10-K. Management evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses, if any. Retail prices are used to report intersegment sales.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,070,644 and $1,307,638, respectively, a decrease of $236,994 or 18.1% . This decrease was due to decreased MESH and Enterphone sales. MESH sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $605,138 and $677,532, respectively, a decrease of $72,394 or 10.7% . MESH is a convergent technology developed by Viscount that increases security at a reduced cost of hardware, cabling and installation, and with simplified database management. Enterphone 2000 sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $103,978 and $236,223, respectively, a decrease of $132,245 or 56%. As an old technology, Enterphone sales have been dropping for several years and negating much of our MESH growth. MESH EPX is the replacement for our old Enterphone system. MESH EPX is the next generation of Enterphone systems but with features that are compatible with high speed internet and other newer technologies. With MESH EPX, we can anticipate recovering our lost Enterphone revenue while continuing to increase our MESH business.

Management believes that sales of the MESH product will continue to represent an increasing proportion of total sales relative to sales of our Enterphone products. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, MESH sales were 56.5% and 51.8%, respectively, of total sales.

We also provide Enterphone support and maintenance services pursuant to service contracts that were assigned to us from Telus Corporation in 2003. Sales from the 1,615 existing service contracts continue to be steady. On average, each service contract represents ongoing revenues of approximately $38 per month, inclusive of parts and labor. Typical customers include strata management and building owners as well as various residential, business and industrial users of Enterphone access control and security systems. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $374,726 and $449,442, respectively, a decrease of $74,716 or 16.6% . These sales included MESH sales by the service division.

The intangible assets held by the Company are comprised primarily of service contracts for our Enterphone 2000 product line. The number of service agreements held by the Company was 1,615 at March 31, 2009, as compared to 1,630 and 1,645 at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company performed a test for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) and evaluated the status of service agreements. Management determined that no charge for impairment was required but the continuing reduction in the number of service contracts held, indicated that the intangible asset should be deemed to have a definitive life based on the provisions of SFAS 142. Accordingly, the Company continued to amortize the cost of the service agreements on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years, which became effective as of April 1, 2005. At March 31, 2009, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $125,353.

Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 47.1 and 41.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of sales has increased slightly during these two comparative periods, due to the increased cost of materials. Management continues to focus on controlling the input costs by using multiple suppliers to ensure that the best and most cost effective raw materials are used in all of our products.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $566,436 and $763,942, respectively, a decrease of $197,506 or 25.9% . This decrease in gross profit corresponds with decreased sales and increased cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $522,985 and $728,338, respectively, a decrease of $205,353 or 28.2% . This decrease was due to decreases in variable costs such as advertising, tradeshow and various office expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 48.8% and 55.7%, respectively.

Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $43,237 and $86,321, respectively, a decrease of $43,084 or 49.9% . Research and development costs decreased during the first quarter of 2009, due to several completed stages of MESH development.

Net loss for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $20,153 and $65,344, respectively, a decrease in net loss of $45,191. The decrease in net loss during the first quarter of 2009 was the result of decreased variable costs such as tradeshow, traveling, and various office expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash as of March 31, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008 was $266,561 and $255,172, respectively. Cash as of March 31, 2008 was $95,156. We have a bank credit facility available for an operating loan of up to a maximum of $500,000 at the prime lending rate plus 1.75% . Amounts drawn are repayable on demand. At March 31, 2009, $36,864 was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.

At March 31, 2009, working capital was $297,566, as compared to a working capital of $301,036 at December 31, 2008. Working capital has decreased by $3,470. The current ratio at March 31, 2009 was 1.32 to 1.0, as compared with 1.27 to 1.0 at December 31, 2008.

The accounts receivable turnover ratio at March 31, 2009 was 42 days, as compared 61 days at December 31, 2008 and 63 days at March 31, 2008. The accounts receivable reserve was $311,168 at March 31, 2009, as compared to $336,776 at December 31, 2008. The accounts receivable reserve has decreased by $25,608 or 7.6%, since the year ended December 31, 2008. Management continues to follow-up on customer accounts to improve cash flow and to minimize bad debts. There had been no significant or material business conditions that would warrant further increases to the reserve at this time.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, there were minimal capital expenditures.

To date, we have not invested in derivative securities or any other financial instruments that involve a high level of complexity or risk. We expect that in the future, any excess cash will continue to be invested in high credit quality, interest-bearing securities.

We will likely require additional funds to support the development and marketing of our new MESH product. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, and may have to curtail operations.

There are no legal or practical restrictions on the ability to transfer funds between parent and subsidiary companies.

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2009.

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