Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business Operations

VirTra, Inc. (the “Company,” “VirTra,” “we,” “us” or “our”), located in Chandler, Arizona, is a global provider of judgmental use of force training simulators, firearms training simulators and driving simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets. The Company’s patented technologies, software, and scenarios provide intense training for de-escalation, judgmental use-of-force, marksmanship and related training that mimics real-world situations. VirTra’s mission is to save and improve lives worldwide through practical and highly-effective virtual reality and simulator technology. The Company sells its products worldwide through a direct sales force and international distribution partners. The original business started in 1993 as Ferris Productions, Inc. In September 2001, Ferris Productions, Inc. merged with GameCom, Inc. to ultimately become VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during half of March and April as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. On March 30, 2020, the Governor for the State of Arizona issued a stay-at-home order which expired on May 15, 2020, upon which Arizona entered Phase I of reopening. The Company carefully reviewed all rules and regulations of the government orders and determined it met the requirements of an essential business to remain open. The Company had the majority of its staff begin working remotely in mid-March, with only essential personnel continue working at the manufacturing and production facilities and currently remains in Arizona’s Phase I of reopening. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. To date, the COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in reduced customer shipments and customer system installations. These recent developments are expected to result in lower recognized revenue and possibly lower gross margin when they occur. To date, there have been no order cancellations; rather, there have only been delays in when orders ship or installations occur and all delayed orders remain in backlog. Any future impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is no longer investing in Certificates of Deposits as a precautionary measure to increase its liquid cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering uncertainty in the U.S. and global markets resulting from COVID-19. Additionally, the Company’s stock repurchase program was suspended as a result of interim rulings for public-company recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act. The stock repurchase suspension remained in effect for the duration of the outstanding PPP loan and continues to remain in effect even though the PPP loan has been forgiven and is no longer outstanding.

The Russian-Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any significant direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments, or sanctions. We have no basis to evaluate the possible risks of this conflict.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on August 2, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect, in our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2022 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We derived the December 31, 2021 condensed balance sheet data from audited financial statements; however, we did not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Interim results are subject to seasonal variations, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets, income tax valuation allowances, and the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in our contracts with customers.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018 and the Company elected to use the modified retrospective transition method which requires application of ASC 606 to uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Under ASC 606, the Company must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Significant judgment is necessary when making these determinations.

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from simulator and accessories sales, training and installation, the sale of customizable software and the sale of extended service-type warranties. The Company’s policy is to typically invoice upon completion of installation and/or training, until such time the performance obligations that have been satisfied are included in unbilled. Sales discounts are presented in the financial statements as reductions in determining net revenues. Credit sales are recorded as current assets (accounts receivable and unbilled revenue). Prepaid deposits received at the time of sale and extended warranties purchased are recorded as current and long-term liabilities (deferred revenue) until earned. The following briefly summarizes the nature of our performance obligations and method of revenue recognition:

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control or upon completion of the services for the simulator and accessories; for the installation and training and customized software performance obligations as the customer has the right and ability to direct the use of these products and services and the customer obtains substantially all of the remaining benefit from these products and services at that time. Revenue from certain customized content contracts may be recognized over the period the services are performed based on the terms of the contract. For the sales-based royalty exchanged for license of intellectual property, the Company recognized revenue as the sales occur over time.

The Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of services being rendered for the extended service-type warranties as these warranties represent a performance obligation to “stand ready to perform” over the duration of the warranties. As such, the warranty service is performed continuously over the warranty period.

Each contract states the transaction price. The contracts do not include variable consideration, significant financing components or noncash consideration. The Company has elected to exclude sales and similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. The contract’s transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based upon their stand-alone selling prices. Discounts to the stand-alone selling prices, if any, are allocated proportionately to each performance obligation.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Under ASC 606, disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors. The Company has evaluated revenues recognized and the following table illustrates the disaggregation disclosure by customer’s location and performance obligation.

Disaggregation of Revenue

 Schedule of Disaggregation of Revenues 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, governmental customers comprised $4,054,186, or 60% of total net sales, commercial customers comprised $1,623,544, or 24% of total net sales, and international customers comprised $1,075,498, or 16% of total net sales. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, governmental customers comprised $2,935,718, or 66% of total net sales, commercial customers comprised $330,333, or 7% of total net sales, and international customers comprised $1,175,858, or 27% of total net sales.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits consist of prepaid deposits received for equipment purchase orders and for Subscription Training Equipment Partnership (“STEP”) operating agreements that expire annually. Customer deposits are considered a deferred liability until the completion of the customer’s contract performance obligation. When revenue is recognized, the deposit is applied to customer’s receivable balance. Customer deposits are recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet and totaled $3,289,067 and $2,371,531 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Changes in deferred revenue amounts related to customer deposits will fluctuate from year to year based upon the mix of customers required to prepay deposits under the Company’s credit policy.

Warranty

The Company warranties its products from manufacturing defects on a limited basis for a period of one year after purchase, but also sells separately priced extended service-type warranties for periods of up to four years after the expiration of the standard one-year warranty. During the term of the initial one-year warranty, if the device fails to operate properly from defects in materials and workmanship, the Company will fix or replace the defective product. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties one year or less totaled $1,391,586 and $1,764,034 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties longer than one year totaled $2,089,195 and $1,815,871 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The accrual for the one-year manufacturer’s warranty liability totaled $385,000 and $384,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $669,510 and $712,708, respectively, related to the extended service-type warranties that was amortized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period. Changes in deferred revenue amounts related to extended service-type warranties will fluctuate from year to year based upon the average remaining life of the warranties at the beginning of the period and new extended service-type warranties sold during the period.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and notes receivable.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit are maintained with financial institutions with high credit standings and are FDIC insured deposits. The FDIC insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured and how the accounts are titled. The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. The Company had uninsured cash and cash equivalents of $15,184,899 and $19,207,786 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Most sales are to governments that are typically made on credit and the Company generally does not require collateral. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains an allowance for estimated losses. Historically, the Company has experienced minimal charges relative to doubtful accounts.

Historically, the Company primarily sells its products to United States federal and state agencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, one foreign agency comprised 16% of total net sales. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, one federal agency comprised 10% and one foreign agency comprised 22% of total net sales.

As of March 31, 2022, one federal agency comprised 14% of total accounts receivable. By comparison, as of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any customer that accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable.

Net Income (Loss)per Common Share

The net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that would occur if outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised. Earnings per share computations are as follows:

Schedule of Earnings Per Share

The Company has potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities, comprised entirely of the Company’s stock options, totaled 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 2. Inventory

Inventory consisted of the following as of:

 Schedule of Inventory

The loan terms include interest to be accrued at a fixed rate of 3% per year, 119 regular monthly payments of $40,978, and one irregular payment of $5,956,538 due on the maturity date of August 23, 2031. The Company began making monthly payments on September 23, 2021. The payment and performance of the loan is secured by a security interest in the property acquired.

The note payable amounts consist of the following:

 Schedule of Notes Payable

Note 8. Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company redeemed 8,750 and 8,750 previously awarded stock options nearing expiration from the Company’s CEO and COO. The redemption eliminated the stock options and resulted in a total of $24,150 and $57,067 in additional compensation expense in 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 2,500 and 2,500 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to one member of the Board of Directors for previously awarded stock options at an exercise price of $7,975 and $3,620, respectively.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

General or Threatened Litigation

From time to time, the Company is notified of threatened litigation or that a claim is being made against it. The Company evaluates contingencies on an on-going basis and has established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There is no threatened litigation at this time.

Restricted Stock Unit Grants

The Company granted 224,133 and 168,090 performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in August 2021 to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively. It is the Company’s policy to estimate the fair value of the RSU’s on the date of the grant and evaluate the probability of achieving the net profit (net income under GAAP) tranches quarterly. If the target is deemed probable, the expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining time period. The Company determined based on the vesting terms described above that the net profit (net income under GAAP) for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022, of $2,500,000 is probable, the expense for the three months ending March 31, 2022, was $26,250.

Profit Sharing

VirTra provides a discretionary profit-sharing program that pays out a percentage of Company profits each year as a cash bonus to eligible employees. The cash payment is typically split into two equal payments and distributed pro-rata in April and October of the following year to only active employees. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the amount expensed to operations was $75,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, no amount was credited to operations due to uncertainty related to on-going COVID restrictions.

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase

On October 25, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 million of its common stock under Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases made pursuant to this authorization will be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with the Rule 10b-18. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. On January 9, 2019, VirTra’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 million be allocated for the repurchase of VirTra’s stock under the existing 10b-18 plan. The stock repurchase program was suspended as a result of interim rulings for public-company recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act. The stock repurchase suspension remained in effect until the PPP loan was forgiven on July 20, 2021, and has continued to remain in effect.

Treasury Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased no additional treasury shares.

Non-qualified Stock Options

The Company has periodically issued non-qualified stock options to key employees, officers and directors under a stock option compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2009. Terms of option grants are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are generally seven years. Upon the exercise of these options, the Company expects to issue new authorized shares of its common stock. The following table summarizes all non-qualified stock options as of:

 Schedule of Non-qualified Stock Options

The Company did not have any non-vested stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The weighted average contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 7 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $258,077 and $443,036, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised and redeemed during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $30,675 and $52,898, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received payments related to the exercise of options in the amount of $7,975 and $3,620, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock for those stock options that have an exercise price lower than the fair value of the Company’s common stock. Options with an exercise price above the fair value of the Company’s common stock are considered to have no intrinsic value.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

Through March 31, 2022, 224,133 and 168,090 restricted stock awards and 14,057 and 10,543 restricted shares have been granted under the Equity Plan to the Company’s CEO and COO, respectively.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

On May 2, 2022, VirTra, Inc. announced the appointment of John F. Givens II as its co-Chief Executive Officer, effective April 11, 2022. Mr. Givens has been serving as a director of VirTra since November 2020.

VirTra has agreed to pay Mr. Givens an initial annual base salary of $298,990, subject to annual review. VirTra issued Mr. Givens a signing bonus of 64,815 shares of common stock which are restricted from transfer until the earlier of: i) 12 months of employment having lapsed or ii) the Company terminating employment with Mr. Givens without cause.

Mr. Givens was also granted 288,889 performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to VirTra’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Beginning on the last business day of August 2022, a tranche of restricted stock units, having an approximate value of $40,000, based on current grant day prices, may vest if the Company has achieved net profit for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 of at least $2,500,000. For every $500,000 earned in excess of $2,500,000 another tranche will vest. If the maximum net profit of $7,000,000 is achieved, ten tranches would vest. Similarly, on the last business day of August 2023, a tranche of restricted stock units may vest if the Company has achieved a net profit of at least $3,000,000, with the potential to have additional tranches vest up to a maximum of $9,000,000 in net profit. This vesting arrangement continues with the last business day of August 2024, with the minimum net profit threshold being $3,500,000 and the maximum net profit being $11,000,000.

The vesting schedule notwithstanding, the Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to declare the vesting of any number of restricted stock units should the Company experience unusual results of operations, such as falling below the net profit threshold one year and exceeding the maximum net profit the following year, so long as the total number of restricted stock units declared to be vested does not exceed the amount awarded. Additionally, while a maximum net profit per year has been set for allocation of the available shares at this time, it is very possible that the Company will exceed these levels during the next 3 years and if such performance occurs, the Compensation Committee will meet to determine if additional compensation is in the best interests of the Company at that time.

Recent Developments

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during half of March and April as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. On March 30, 2010, the Governor for the State of Arizona issued a stay-at-home order, currently in effect until May 15, 2020. The Company carefully reviewed all rules and regulations of the government orders and determined it met the requirements of an essential business to remain open. The Company had the majority of its staff begin working remotely in mid-March, with only essential personnel continue working at the manufacturing and production facilities. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. To date, the COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in reduced customer shipments and customer system installations. These recent developments are expected to result in lower recognized revenue and possibly lower gross margin when they occur. To date, there have been no order cancellations only delays in when orders ship or installations occur and all delayed orders remain in backlog. Although not a material component of our company, a significant adverse change in the business climate could affect the value of the Company’s long-term investment in TEC, currently there has not been a negative impact and any future impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company is no longer investing in Certificates of Deposits as a precautionary measure to increase its liquid cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering uncertainty in the U.S. and global markets resulting from COVID-19. Additionally, the Company’s stock repurchase program was suspended as a result of interim rulings for public-company recipients of a PPP loan under the CARES Act. The stock repurchase suspension has continued in effect, even though the PPP loan has been forgiven and is no longer outstanding.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021

Revenues. Revenues were $6,753,228 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $4,441,909 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $2,311,319, or 52%. The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulted from an increase in the number of simulators and accessories completed, delivered and revenue recognized compared to the same period in 2021.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales were $3,066,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1,873,404 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $1,192,734, or 64%. The increase was due to additional material costs due to higher quantities of simulator systems and accessories sold. The cost of sales on a dollar basis varies from quarter-to-quarter as a result of sales volume and product mix.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $3,687,090 for the three months ended March 31,2022 compared to $2,568,505 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $1,118,585, or 44%. The gross profit margin was 55% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 58% for the same period in 2021. The increase in gross profit in terms of dollars was due to the increase in revenues, while the decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues can be attributed to increased costs, and the product mix of systems, accessories and services sold.

Operating Expenses. Net operating expense was $2,975,787 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $2,004,450 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $971,337, or 48%. The increase was mainly due to increases in marketing, research and development, and professional services expenses.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income was $711,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to an operating income of $564,055 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $147,248, or 26%.

Other Income. Other expense net of other income was $10,229 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to other income net of other expense of $13,945 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $24,174, or 173%, primarily from an increase in interest expense related to the note payable.

Provision for Income Tax Benefit. Provision for income tax was $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a provision for income tax benefit of $77,163 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $201,163, or 261%. Provision (benefit) for income tax is estimated quarterly applying both federal and state tax rates.

Net Income (Loss). Net income was $577,074 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a net income of $655,163 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $78,089, or 12%. The fluctuations in net income (loss) relates to each respective section discussed above.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. Explanation and Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and before other non-operating costs and income (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently. The Company calculates its adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to the Company’s investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and because adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry, several of which present EBITDA and a form of adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative for net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA is provided in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. The Company had $15,686,234 and $19,708,565 of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Working capital was $25,850,734 and $25,944,717 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,116,254 and $1,748,428 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable, inventory, and unbilled revenues, offset by increases in trade accounts payable, accrued compensation, and deferred revenues, as well as other changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $856,077 and $48,205 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Investing activities consisted of the purchase of intangible assets and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $50,000 and $4,946 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Financing activities in 2022 consisted of principal payments on note payable offset by stock options exercised. Financing activities in 2021 consisted of stock options exercised and redeemed.

Bookings and Backlog

The Company defines bookings as the total of newly signed contracts and purchase orders received in a defined time period. The Company received bookings totaling $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company defines backlog as the accumulation of bookings that have not started or are uncompleted performance objectives and cannot be recognized as revenue until delivered in a future quarter. Backlog also includes extended warranty agreements and STEP agreements that are deferred revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of each respective agreement. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s backlog was $21.0 million, net of a $1.8 million reduction due to budgetary cuts and government de-funding. Management estimates the majority of the new bookings received in the first quarter of 2022 will be converted to revenue in 2022. Management estimates the conversion of backlog based on current contract delivery dates; however, contract terms and dates are subject to modification and are routinely changed at the request of the customer. Additionally, due to the impact of COVID-19, management’s estimates will change in accordance with federal and state guidelines. To date, the COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in reduced customer shipments and customer system installations. These recent developments are expected to result in lower recognized revenue and possibly lower gross margin when they occur. To date, there have been no order cancellations, only delays in when orders ship or installations occur and all delayed orders remain in backlog.

Cash Requirements

Our management believes that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating the company and maintaining our current business strategy for more than 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report. We are, however, open to raising additional funds from the capital markets, at a fair valuation, to expand our product and services offered, to enhance our sales and marketing efforts and effectiveness, and to aggressively take advantage of market opportunities. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down our plans for expanded marketing and sales efforts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to areas that require a significant level of judgment or are otherwise subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Significant accounting estimates in these financial statements include valuation assumptions for share-based payments, allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets, income tax valuation allowances, the carrying value of cost basis investments, and the allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We base our estimates on historical experience, our observance of trends in particular areas, and information or valuations and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts could differ significantly from amounts previously estimated. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to Part I, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Management believes that there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses, which we identified in our report on internal control over financial reporting contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 2, 2022.

Change in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we have implemented more formal review and documentation of workflow processes, and increased our ERP training for our staff. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
