Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q and by Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete set of annual financial statements. Readers of these statements should read the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 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, 2010 or for any other interim period.

The financial information as at June 30, 2010 and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is unaudited; however, such financial information includes all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date included in the Form 10-K.

New accounting pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition which is effective beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The Company believes the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective beginning July 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The Company believes adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

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, 2010, the Company held 1,539 service agreements (December 31, 2009 – 1,577) at a cost, net of accumulated amortization of $109,683 (December 31, 2009 - $99,237), of $99,237 (December 31, 2009 - $109,684). The estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:


  Year ending December 31:      
         
  2010 $  20,892  
  2011   20,892

  2013   20,892  
  2014   20,892  

6.

Bank indebtedness

   

Bank indebtedness represents cheques written in excess of funds on deposit of $14,505 (December 31, 2009 - $18,703) and amounts drawn under a bank credit facility of $40,000 (December 31, 2009 - $200,000) 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 and a pledge of personal property of a significant shareholder. The Company is required to maintain a current ratio greater than 1.5:1, measured quarterly, and a debt to tangible net worth ratio less than 1.5:1, measured annually, under the terms of the demand facility agreement. For purposes of debt covenant calculations, amounts due to stockholders are considered a component of equity and not a liability. The Company is also allowed to draw on the credit facility up to 75% of accounts receivable less than 90 days. At June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with debt covenants.

   
7.

Due to stockholders

   

Amounts due to stockholders in the amount of $292,402 (2009, $292,402) are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment. Amounts due to stockholders are subordinated to amounts due on the company’s credit facility.

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.


  For the three months ended June 30, 2010   Manufacturing     Servicing     Total  
                     
                     
  Sales to external customers $ 621,113   $ 272,759   $ 893,872

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $893,872 and $1,289,926, respectively, a decrease of $396,054 or 30.7% . Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1,905,061 and $2,360,570, respectively, a decrease of $455,509 or 19.3% . This decrease was due partly to a slower U.S. and Canadian economy, resulting in decreased sales of our MESH and Enterphone units, and a shortage of certain inventory components to fill significant orders. MESH sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $471,092 and 797,803, respectively, a decrease of $326,711 or 41.0% . MESH sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,090,512 and $1,402,941, respectively, a decrease of $312,429 or 22.3% . 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, 2010 and 2009 were $97,296 and $134,476, respectively, a decrease of $37,180 or 27.6% . Enterphone 2000 sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $162,935 and $238,454, respectively, a decrease of $75,519 or 31.7% . As an older technology, Enterphone sales have been dropping for several years. 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 a significant proportion of total sales relative to sales of our Enterphone products. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, MESH sales were 57.2% and 59.4%, 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 1,539 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, 2010 and 2009, customer service contracts and new equipment sales generated aggregate sales revenues of $619,773 and $704,195, respectively, a decrease of $84,422 or 12.0% . 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 1,539 at June 30, 2010, as compared to 1,577 and 1,598 at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively. During the first two quarters of 2010, the Company performed a test for impairment 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. 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, 2010, the cost of the service agreements, net of accumulated amortization, was $99,238.

Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 45.4% and 41.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cost of sales and services as a percentage of sales was 40.2% and 44.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cost of sales has changed during these two comparative periods due to a combination of increases and decreases in the overall costs for many MESH component parts and management’s continued 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, 2010 and 2009 was $488,363 and $750,791, respectively, a decrease of $262,428 or 35.0% . For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, gross profit was $1,140,175 and $1,317,227, respectively, a decrease of $177,052 or 13.4% . This decrease in gross profit corresponds with decreased sales and changes in product mix for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $552,465 and $597,913, respectively, a decrease of $45,448 or 7.6% . Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1,086,527 and $1,120,898, respectively, a decrease of $34,371 or 3.1% . These two comparative periods were consistent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 57.0% and 47.5%, respectively.

Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $57,134 and $62,628, respectively, a decrease of $5,494 or 8.8% . Research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $100,704 and $105,865, respectively, a decrease of $5,161 or 4.9% . These two comparative periods were consistent.

Loss before income tax for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $(129,485), as compared to income before income tax of $78,977 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This equates to a decrease in quarter over quarter income of $208,462. Loss before income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $(63,280), as compared to income before income tax of $58,824 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This equates to a decrease in six month period over six month period income of $122,104. The decrease in profitability was the result of fewer sales due to the poor economy and delivery problems from our main supplier, offset by reductions in staffing costs, advertising, travel, tradeshow, various office expenses and the aforementioned reductions in input prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash as of June 30, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009 was $125,111 and $124,378, respectively. Cash as of June 30, 2009 was $228,898. The Company has 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, 2010, $54,505 was drawn on this facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of our assets under a general security agreement.

At June 30, 2010, working capital was $729,820, as compared to a working capital of $778,879 at December 31, 2009. Working capital has decreased by $49,059. The current ratio at June 30, 2010 was 1.82 to 1.0, as compared with 1.67 to 1.0 at December 31, 2009.

The accounts receivable turnover ratio at June 30, 2010 was 91 days, as compared 61 days at December 31, 2009 and 46 days at June 30, 2009. The increase at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is caused in its entirety by one large accounts receivable from a large customer. Ignoring this receivable, the turnover ratio at June 30, 2010 would have been 48 days, which is more consistent with the 46 days at June 30, 2009. This consistency was due to consistent follow up and monitoring of slower paying accounts on a monthly basis by management. The accounts receivable reserve was $336,893 at June 30, 2010, as compared to $337,475 at December 31, 2009. The accounts receivable reserve has remained consistent, since the year ended December 31, 2009. 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, 2010, there were no 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 may 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, 2010.

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