VirTra Releases 2014 Second Quarter Financial Results





Tempe, Arizona (August 15, 2014) -- VirTra Systems (OTC Pink: VTSI), a leading provider of firearms simulators to military, law enforcement agencies and other organizations, today announced the release of its 2014 second quarter financial statements. The financial statements are available on VirTra’s website and here .



Financial Summary:



· Net Sales were $2.1 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.5 million, or 34%, compared to the previous year’s second quarter sales of $1.6 million.



· Gross margin for the second quarter 2014 was 54% of Net Sales, compared to 68% last year. The drivers for the decrease are primarily due to client paid customization projects recorded in Cost of Products Sold.



· Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1.1 million in Q2 2014 decreased 11%, from $1.2 million in Q2 2013. As a percent of revenue, SG&A was 50% for Q2 2014 compared to 76% in Q2 2013. The decrease is mainly due to a portion of SG&A resources assigned to client paid customization projects.



· Income from operations increased $0.2 million in Q2 2014 to $0.1 million, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in Q2 2013.



· Through June 30, 2014, the Company used $1.4 million in cash from operating activities to fulfill orders secured by deposits. Cash and cash equivalents were $0.9 million at the end of Q2 2014, down from $2.4 million at December 31, 2013.



· The Company has no outstanding balance due on its line of credit as of June 30, 2014.



Bob Ferris, Chief Executive Officer of VirTra, commented, “Recent large international projects involved substantial investment in new technology and a major commitment of man hours, which will continue throughout the balance of 2014. The projects have pushed VirTra’s products to new levels of capability. VirTra is expanding its scope and pursuing numerous national and international sales.”
