VirTra Systems Announces Record 2nd Quarter Results
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VirTra Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:VTSI), today announced its unaudited financial report for the second quarter 2008.
For the three-month period ending on June 30, 2008, revenue increased 29% to $783,261; this marks a $178,063 jump in revenue from the same period in 2007.
The general and administrative costs for the second quarter totaled $140,374, a significant decrease from the $516,444 recorded during the same period in 2007. The principle reasons for the dramatic decrease were due to the reduction in expenses due to the Company’s deregistration with the SEC and the closing of our Houston, Texas office. VirTra posted a second quarter operating profit of $272,274.
VirTra’s net profit for the second quarter was a record $1,063,634; a one-time, $730,303 adjustment of the Dutchess liability had a significant impact on net profit.
Net profit for the quarter was $.008 per share. The report can be found at: http://www.virtra.com/cu_investor.html
“This quarterly report is the first data to show hard results from the new management team. By increasing sales, reducing costs and reducing liabilities, we were able to generate the highest quarterly net profit ever in the company’s history. Our goal is to radically improve VirTra’s performance quarter after quarter and it is wonderful to report the first successful results of our strategy,” said Bob Ferris, President.
