Sales to domestic customers are generally made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency) through commissioned third-party sales agents. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
|
|
·
|
Sales to international customers are generally made through independent distributors who purchase products from
the Company
at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies) at a retail price. The international distributor retains the margin as their compensation. The international distributor maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the international distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement. Occasionally, the company contracts directly with the foreign customer for the sale of products and we pay commissions to the distributor responsible for the sale.

|
|
•
|
Expected term is determined using the contractual term and vesting period of the award;
|
|
|
•
|
Expected volatility of award grants made in the Company’s plan is measured using the weighted average of historical daily changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock over the period equal to the expected term of the award;
|
|
|
•
|
Expected dividend rate is determined based on expected dividends to be declared;
|
|
|
•
|
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and
|
|
|
•
|
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted and management’s analysis of potential forfeitures.

We experienced an increase in revenues during the third quarter 2010 but less than we expected due in part to the challenging economy, which has negatively impacted state, county and municipal budgets. We expect that the current economic downturn will continue to depress certain state and local tax bases, and continue to make 2010 a challenging business environment.
|
|
·
|
We believe that delays in the introduction of our DVM-750 resulted in significant lost revenues in 2009 and contributed to our lower than expected revenues and operating losses in 2009, along with the impact of the current economic recession. Large orders generally have long sales cycles and because of the delays incurred we were not able to compete for several large contracts in 2009 that required the specifications of the DVM-750, which adversely impacted our revenues in the first half of 2010. We believe that lower sales in 2010 are a result of our inability to respond to bidding opportunities for the DVM-750 during 2009. Commercial deliveries of the DVM-750 commenced in the second quarter 2009, which were a prime component of our improved sales for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009 over first quarter 2009. We expect that our current order backlog for the DVM-750 and continued acceptance of this new product will help to improve our revenues in 2010 over 2009, despite the impact of the current economic recession on the budget of our primary governmental agency customers.

Our gross profit on sales has eroded to 46.8% in the third quarter 2010 from 50.2% in the second quarter 2010 and 54.5% in the first quarter 2010. The gross margin erosion is primarily the result of higher costs on DVM systems sold with the wireless download module upgrade and the introduction of new products, in particular the DVM-750, and the phase-out of our legacy DVM-500 product. In addition, international revenues improved during the third quarter 2010 over the first two quarters and international sales are generally at lower gross margins than domestic sales. We have incurred higher levels of production inefficiencies, engineering changes and rework that have negatively affected our gross margin from the DVM-750 product compared to the legacy DVM-500 product series. In addition, we have discontinued the production of the DVM-500 legacy system, which was a mature product with comparatively higher margins. We expect the pressure on gross margins to continue for the remainder of 2010 as we continue to launch new products. To address this problem, we evaluated our supply chain to reduce costs for our raw materials and component parts. We have a specific plan to improve gross margins through better outsourcing of our component parts in the future. In addition, we are experiencing increased price competition and pressure from certain of our competitors that has led to pricing discounts on larger contract opportunities. We believe this pricing pressure will continue as our competitors attempt to regain market share and revive sales in the stagnant economy.

We believe that current and potential customers may be delaying orders due to a number of factors, including budget reductions in order to preserve their currently available funding and budgets. In light of the historically high levels of federal funding, estimated at over $4 billion, allocated to law enforcement under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, and other programs
,
we expect that law enforcement agencies will have access to federal funding which has not been available to them in the past. However, many of these funding programs require matching funds from the local agencies that continues to be difficult given the budget restrictions. We believe that such funding could have a positive impact on our revenues in the future, but cannot predict the amount of the funds that will be used for products such as ours or the timing of the release of such funds.

Our international revenues were substantially less than expectation during the first three quarters of 2010. During October 2009, we received an order from Turkey for DVM-750 units valued in excess of $3.3 million. This order represented our largest single international or domestic order for 2009 and was shipped during the fourth quarter 2009. Sales to certain countries that were strong revenue sources for us historically have been negatively impacted by political and social unrest, the economic recession and a weakening of their currency exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar. We have focused on our international business by hiring an international sales manager in January 2009, hiring a European-based sales manager in November 2009, and by appointing international distributors in new countries during 2009 and 2010. We believe that international sales will improve if there is an easing of economic, political and social conditions affecting certain of our key international customers and as initial sales to new countries occur, although we can make no assurances in this regard. In addition, we expect that the availability of the DVM-750 will help to improve our international revenues. During April 2010, we received an order from a South American country for approximately 700 DVM-750 units. We have continued to experience delays in the receipt of payment for this order. Since that time, while the customer has provided us with a number of assurances of payment, it has also cited various factors, including delayed funding and political and social unrest, for its inability to make the payment. Under our policy, we must receive payment before the shipment of such an order. We are hopeful that certain other smaller prospective international orders will materialize in the fourth quarter of 2010. However, we do not have sufficient clarity that such orders will materialize within this time frame. We have built in capability to install a variety of language packs into our DVM-750 system, which currently includes English, Spanish, Turkish and Arabic, with additional languages to become available during the balance of 2010. We believe this language flexibility will be a positive in our efforts to improve future international sales.

Our recent operating losses and increases in inventory levels have caused deterioration in our cash levels and liquidity in 2010 and 2009. Our cash balances decreased during the third quarter 2010, as our inventory balances increased and we repurchased approximately $470,000 of our common shares under our stock repurchase program. We borrowed $1,250,000 under our line of credit as of September 30, 2010, which leaves $1,250,000 unused and available under the revolving line-of-credit as of September 30, 2010. Our available line of credit will provide us short-term liquidity if the need arises, provided that we continue to satisfy the facility’s covenants, one of which is maintaining a $15.0 million minimum tangible net worth. Currently, we have approximately $14.2 million in working capital. Management is focusing on reducing inventory and accounts receivable levels to generate additional liquidity and improve our cash position during the balance of 2010. We believe that our liquidity trends will improve during the balance of 2010 if our revenues and profitability increase and that our current credit facility will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the reasonably foreseeable future.

Sales to domestic customers are generally made direct to the end customer (typically a law enforcement agency) through commissioned third-party sales agents. Revenue is recorded when the product is shipped to the end customer.
|
|
·
|
Sales to international customers are generally made through independent distributors who purchase products from us at a wholesale price and sell to the end user (typically law enforcement agencies) at a retail price. The international distributor retains the margin as their compensation. The international distributor maintains product inventory, customer receivables and all related risks and rewards of ownership. Revenue is recorded when products are shipped to the international distributor consistent with the terms of the distribution agreement. Occasionally, we contract directly with the foreign customer for the sale of product and pay commissions to the distributor responsible for the sale.

Revenues increased primarily due to a number of larger customers placing orders for our DVM-750 because this newer product establishes its advanced features and high reliability for larger customer deployments. The increase in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2010 would have been more substantial had we not also experienced weakness in our international sales and specifically a delay in the shipment of an order to a South American country in 2010. During April 2010, we received an order from a South American country for approximately 700 DVM-750 units for which we expected deliveries to commence in the third quarter 2010. However, due to certain factors including not receiving payment from the customer and political and social unrest, we made no shipments to it in the third quarter. Our policy with respect to shipment of international orders requires that
|
|
|
we receive full payment or a bank letter of credit in advance of shipping. This and certain other prospective international orders would have improved our revenues substantially in the third quarter 2010. We also were not able to ship certain domestic orders that needed wireless downloading upgrades because we had insufficient supplies of the wireless transmitter module (“WTM”) that is required for the wireless downloading feature. We have located a new source for the WTM component and are currently shipping our backlog that requires this upgraded feature.
|
|
·
|
Our average order size decreased from approximately $6,700 in 2009 to $6,000 during 2010. We shipped nine individual orders in excess of $100,000 each, for an aggregate of approximately $2,602,000 in revenue during the third quarter 2010, compared to eight orders in excess of $100,000 each, for an aggregate of approximately $1,340,000 in revenue in the third quarter 2009. We believe that this is indicative of reduced law enforcement budgets under which the customers are covering only the minimum required needs rather than full fleet deployments and the lack of large international sales.
|
|
·
|
Our international revenues increased to $559,121, representing 8% of total revenues during the third quarter 2010, compared to $270,491, representing 5% of total revenues during the third quarter 2009. Despite the improvement in international sales, our international revenues are substantially lower than expected in 2010. The delay in shipping the South American and other international orders during the third quarter 2010 negatively impacted our international revenues for the quarter. In addition, sales to certain countries that were strong revenue sources for us on an historical basis were negatively impacted by political and social unrest, economic recession and a weakening of their currency exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar. We have focused on improving our international business by hiring an international sales manager in January 2009, hiring a salesperson to cover Europe and the Middle-East territories and appointing international distribution agents in 11 new countries since January 1, 2009, which brings our total to 36 agents representing our products in various countries throughout the world. We experienced an increase in inquiries and bid activity from international customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. However, international sale cycles generally take longer than domestic business. During October 2009, we were awarded a $3.3 million plus contract for our DVM-750 product from a customer in Turkey that shipped in the fourth quarter 2009. In April 2010, we announced that a sales agent in South America received a contract for 700 DVM-750 systems from the highway patrol division of a South American country. We have continued to experience delays in the receipt of payment for this order. Since that time, while the customer has provided us with a number of assurances of payment, it has also cited various factors, including delayed funding and political and social unrest, for its inability to make the payment. Under our policy, we must receive payment before the shipment of such an order. We are hopeful that certain other smaller prospective international orders will materialize in the fourth quarter of 2010. However, we do not have sufficient clarity that such orders will materialize within this time frame.

Our cash flow from operating activities was also negatively affected by non-cash deferred tax benefits during the period.
