UBL and Advice Interactive Group to Align Presence Management Product Suites Under LocalHub Brand
The LocalHub Brand Will Combine Global Business Listing API Syndication Networks and Local Search Technology Tools From Both Companies That Recently Announced Their Plans to Merge
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ubl-advice-interactive-group-align-133016004.html
with the price accumulating over the last month with little news you have to wonder if it's the outreach of Grillo getting the story out.
I saw that too......The delay is typical and nothing to be worried about over the long run.
Here's a little more info on DHS contract it's currently for (25)v-300 base units and (2)v-300 master units.
looks like a good event

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ubl-advice-interactive-group-merge-151941985.html
It's been pushed back again to early April
Nice pic!!
Like this too "He also said large deals and new partnerships would be announced with some global firms at IDEX and that IGG is seeking to assert its presence and support in IDEX along with other national companies in the UAE."
I like the way this sounds "These companies are our strategic business partners who are among the leading defence firms in the world...IDEX shall be a great opportunity for them to showcase their products and services to armed forces and defense authorities in the MENA region."

Interesting article about Middle East protecting their borders since we just received an award it.

JMO, but I think we here something next week during the show about sales in the middle east. over on twitter Lavidge employee Diego Romero is attempting to contact journalist and schedule them to stop by the Virtra Stand at IDEX next week.
I do too!!!
We never heard who the customer was that placed the 2+ million order back in 2013 that would take 18 months to develop Which included new Hardware & software enhancements that were requested by the customer. When finalized 15 representatives were involved in testing and accepting the new features.
IMO the customer is IGG......Took from an article about IGG “With its product portfolio in defense and security, IGG is one of the key contributors to security preparedness in the UAE" http://www.albawaba.com/tawazn-holding-acquire-26-international-golden-group
You Also have that weird PR "Watching the watchmen" I think they PR"d it was because of a chart showing non-public info. Virtra's top 5 customers and the 5th stated "Police forces throughout the middle east." http://www2.marketwire.com/mw/frame_mw?attachid=2714619 I don't recall that ever being announced and You have IGG who procures large contracts throughout the middle east.
The list of companies that are being represented (including Virtra) in IGG's stand are large and reputable. See list

This is why I made my statement last week that we see some sort of announcement during IDEX. We shall see :)
Nice!! Didn't catch that.
Pg 56-59
I was Expecting some push back on #4 Rudy miller ;)
V-180 le La Mesa http://www.cityoflamesa.com/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/7225 page 1
thought I'd have a little fun speculating
I compiled a list of what I thinks going to take place over the next six months in the following order that could help drive the stock.
1. At IDEX Virtra announces strategic partnership and large contract award with International Golden Group. This is possibly the large international client order announced early 2013.
2. 4th quarter earnings come in at 4.5-5 million.
3. Moves off the pinks and up-lists...reverse split 1/10
4. Rudy Miller named as an independent Board Member
5. 1st quarter results of 8.5-9 million.
6. Modern round opens first location
7. Artemis defense institute expands it's national footprint.
8. International Sales continue to surge 2nd half of the year

A bit perplexed why the shooter is wearing the StressVest and not the ThreatFire belt in a Virtra simulator
It appears to be the same address as smith and wesson holdings corp. so probably not.
http://usplaces.com/Gun%20Repair%20and%20Services/scottsdale-az/smith-wesson-holding-corporation
Indeed, we have a lot to look forward to in the next 6 months.
Here is a little more on IGG. I like this statement...“With its product portfolio in defense and security, IGG is one of the key contributors to security preparedness in the UAE"…….this is in-line with Virtras vision.

IDEX 2015 Feb 22-26th
This show could be interesting ...... any thoughts?
At first glance and based off the IDEX 2015 International shows exhibit floor Virtra is presenting in booth/stand #04-C20. According to the floor plan the Booth is gigantic!!! I mean huge and it appears it's International Golden Groups Stand where they are an umbrella Contractor for a list of defense companies worldwide. In fact there are 32 companies total that are in this stand represented by IGG in some way or another. From the little research I have done so far IGG is a very large contractor based in the middle east (UAE) that has ties to top tier contracts and contractors. They have formed relationships with BAE, GD, Thales, ATK, L3, Raytheon and the list goes on and on. I went through the entire list of companies exhibiting in Booth #04-C20 and listed them below. We can only assume that Virtra has formed some type of partnership or reseller agreement with IGG.

FYI
VIrtra has been using Lavidge for their media/public relations for the last few months and from all the press and articles published has been doing a nice job. IrProfiles is their Investor relations firm which took over for Miller Group a few weeks ago.
Why do these recent interim filings say (EDGAR). Hmmmm.
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/VTSI/filings
Does anyone know how many directors Virtra needs to uplist? Company and independent?
Port,
I believe the patent violation is only when another company uses a immersive simulator with a threat-fire like device. so in anther words FAAC is not infringing unless the shock device is used during training in the sim.
Arotech Inc./FAAC. and their subdivision Milo training simulation systems began working on immersive systems identical to Virtras in late 2012......Milo systems were strictly single screen systems up until recently.
The best compliment someone can give is to copy you
see video
sry it was a link from a login site
I would think they would at least receive a royalty payment.
