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 June 30, 2009 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited; however, such financial information includes all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying 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 primarily incurred losses and the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern depends upon its ability to maintain profitable operations and 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 maintain 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.

New accounting pronouncements

   

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” which changes how business acquisitions are accounted. SFAS 141R, requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and all liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain, provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent considerations); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in–process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits. SFAS No. 141R was effective for business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances beginning January 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R did not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations.

   

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement, an amendment of ARB No. 51,” which establishes new standards governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (NCI) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability; that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The provisions of the standard are to be applied to all NCIs prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. SFAS No. 160 was effective beginning January 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations.

New accounting pronouncements (cont’d…)

   

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful life of Intangible Assets,” (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS No. 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 was effective beginning January 1, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have an impact on its financial position and results of operations.

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 June 30, 2009, the Company held 1,598 service agreements (December 31, 2008 – 1,630) at a cost, net of accumulated amortization of $88,791 (December 31, 2008 - $78,345), of $120,130 (December 31, 2008 - $130,576).

Bank indebtedness

   

Bank indebtedness represents cheques written in excess of funds on deposit of $22,637 (December 31, 2008 - $17,775) and amounts drawn under a bank credit facility of $185,000 (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 June 30, 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.

   
7.

Due to stockholders

   

Amounts due to stockholders are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment.

   

During the 2008 fiscal year, the President loaned the Company $100,000, of which $47,000 remains outstanding. The loan bears interest at 9.5% per annum, is unsecured and has no fixed terms of repayment.

   
8.

Note payable

   

The note payable to an individual bears interest at 8% per annum, is unsecured, and is due December 31, 2009. Principal prepayments are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Segment information

     
(a)

Operating segments:

     

The Company organizes its business into two reportable segments: manufacturing and servicing. The manufacturing segment designs, produces and sells intercom and door access control systems that utilize telecommunications wiring to control access to buildings and other facilities for security purposes. The servicing segment provides maintenance to these intercom and other door access control systems.

     

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

     

Information as to these reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Products and services:

     

Enterphone 2000 sales represented 10.1% of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2009 (2008 – 18%). MESH sales represented 59% of total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2009 (2008 – 52%). The balance of the Company’s revenues are derived from other products such as access tracking and control, closed circuit monitors, infrared and radio frequency remotes and servicing of intercom equipment.



Item 2.      Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,289,926 and $1,335,849, respectively, a decrease of $45,923 or 3.5% . Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2,360,570 and $2,643,487, respectively, a decrease of $282,917 or 10.7% . MESH sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $797,803 and $701,243, respectively, an increase of $96,560 or 13.8% . Mesh sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,402,941 and $1,378,775, respectively, an increase of $24,166 or 1.76% . MESH is a convergent technology developed by Viscount that increases security at a reduced cost of hardware, cabling and installation, and with simplified database management. Enterphone 2000 sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $134,476 and $246,463, respectively, a decrease of $111,987 or 45.5% . Enterphone sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $238,454 and $482,686, a decrease of $244,232 or 50.6% . As an old technology, Enterphone sales have been dropping for several years and negating much of our MESH growth. MESH EPX is the replacement for our old Enterphone system. MESH EPX is the next generation of Enterphone systems but with features that are compatible with high speed internet and other newer technologies. With MESH EPX, we can anticipate recovering our lost Enterphone revenue while continuing to increase our MESH business.

Management believes that sales of the MESH product will continue to represent an increasing proportion of total sales relative to sales of our Enterphone products. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, MESH sales were 59.4% and 52.2%, 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 1,598 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 six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $704,195 and $871,282, respectively, a decrease of $167,087 or 19.2% . 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 1,598 at June 30, 2009, as compared to 1,630 and 1,634 at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. During the first and second 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 June 30, 2009, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $120,130.

Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 41.8% and 40.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cost of sales and service for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 44.2% and 41.2%, 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 June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $750,791 and $790,402, respectively, a decrease of $39,611 or 5.1% . For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, gross profit was $1,317,227 and $1,554,344, respectively, a decrease of $237,117 or 15.3% . This marginal gross profit decrease corresponds with the decreased sales and increased cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $597,913 and $728,072, respectively, a decrease of $130,159 or 17.9% . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1,120,898 and $1,456,410 respectively, a decrease of $335,512 or 23.1% . The decrease during these two comparative periods was due to decreases in variable costs such as advertising, tradeshow and various office expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 47.5% and 55.1%, respectively.

Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $62,628 and $86,496, respectively, a decrease of $23,868 or 27.6% . Research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $105,865 and $172,817, respectively, a decrease of $66,952 or 38.8% . Research and development costs have decreased during these two comparative periods, as more MESH project phases have been completed.

Net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $78,977 and net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $37,434, an increase in profitability of $116,411. Net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $58,824 and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $102,778, an increase in profitability of $161,602. The increase in profitability during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was the result of decreased variable costs such as tradeshow, traveling, and various office expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash as of June 30, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008 was $228,898 and $255,172, respectively. Cash as of June 30, 2008 was $48,304. 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 June 30, 2009, $207,637 was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.

At June 30, 2009, working capital was $384,115, as compared to a working capital of $301,036 at December 31, 2008. Working capital has increased by $83,079. The current ratio at June 30, 2009 was 1.34 to 1.0, as compared with 1.28 to 1.0 at December 31, 2008.

The accounts receivable turnover ratio at June 30, 2009 was 46 days, as compared 61 days at December 31, 2008 and 60 days at June 30, 2008. The accounts receivable reserve was $318,670 at June 30, 2009, as compared to $336,776 at December 31, 2008. The accounts receivable reserve has decreased by $18,106 or 5.4%, 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 six months ended June 30, 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.

4


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

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

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2009.

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

Item 4(T).   Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
