TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' CEO and president (Pink Sheets:VTSI), today announced VirTra's 5th consecutive profitable and record-breaking quarter. VirTra is known for setting the highest simulation training standard in the industry by developing the world's most effective and realistic firearm training systems (FATS) for both law enforcement and military organizations throughout the world. With today's announcement, VirTra has now posted five consecutive profitable quarters since new management took control in 2008.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2009, gross revenue grew 23.7% from $783,261 to a record $968,814, due to successful sales efforts, specifically with the growing list of international customers.

General and administration costs are higher from $140,374 for the second quarter 2008 up to $369,602 for second quarter 2009. The primary differences are: a $114,795 amortization expense, hiring additional sales staff, increased tradeshow expenses, and increased sales related travel.

Net income from operations increased from $272,274 for the 2nd quarter 2008 to $328,587 (adding back Amortization Expense of $114,795) for the 2nd quarter 2009. This is an increase in operating profit of 20.7%.

Net gain per share for the second quarter of 2009 was $.0021, compared to $.0082 per share in 2008. However, second quarter 2008 had $824,975 of non-operational income that is non-recurring and is directly due to forgiveness of debt income, gain on litigation settlements and gain on derivative liability.

Overall, VirTra has made consistent improvements in financial performance since the second quarter of 2008. For the quarter ending June 30, 2009, net income is $279,602 as compared to $123,864 during second quarter 2008. Net income improved by $61,327 in the second quarter of 2009 as compared with the first quarter of 2009. This was a 28.1% increase over the first quarter this year.

VirTra's cash on hand improved to $284,377 as of June 30, 2009 as compared to $66,033 from June 30, 2008. Also, Shareholders' equity increased over $500,000 to $5.89 million at the end of second quarter as compared to $5.36 million from the end of 2008.

VirTra Receives Third Order from Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support
Aug 27, 2009 9:20:00 AM
Copyright Business Wire 2009

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' CEO and president (Pink Sheets:VTSI), today announced that VirTra has received another order from Lockheed Martin Simulation Training and Support business for VirTra's proprietary tetherless M-4 recoil kit, which is specially engineered to work with an authentic M-4 rifle. The order also includes VirTra's automatic refill station that uses low-cost CO2 and is the most operator friendly refill system on the market. Also included in the order is a recharge station, which rapidly recharges each magazine's internal battery.

VirTra's system is the most advanced and realistic tetherless recoil system that works with a genuine M-4. By using a real M-4, the trigger pull of the training weapon perfectly matches that of an actual M-4 weapon. The system also permits the instructor to induce a jam during training. Once the trainee has fired 30 shots, the weapon responds just like a real M-4. Tactical reloads are also possible, whereby the magazine remembers the number of remaining rounds.

The system uses CO2 instead of ammunition or blank rounds, greatly reducing the cost and improving the safety of training exercises. Also, without the requirement to shoot in just one direction for safety reasons (like on a live range), exercises can utilize 360-degree freedom for enhanced realism.

"We are honored that Lockheed Martin has expanded their interest in VirTra and ordered our advanced M-4 recoil kit and accessories. The recoil system is a very effective training tool for anyone requiring improved skill with the M-4 rifle," said Bob Ferris, CEO and President of VirTra Systems.
