Notes to Financial Statements
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.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
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 credit losses and notes receivable, inventory reserves, accrual for warranty reserves, the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible 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.
Restatement of year over year revenue numbers
During the audit of the 2024 financial statements, it was discovered that due to issues in the implementation of new accounting software, a revenue line was missing in 2023. This occurred when a deposit from a 2021 customer was not accurately entered into the 2021 initial launch of Epicor. $747,977 of revenue was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 instead of in 2023. Had this been properly recorded, revenue would have been 2% higher and net income would have been 9% higher in 2023. Cost of goods related to this unrecorded revenue had already been recorded in 2023; accordingly, all of the unrecorded revenue increased net income. We do not believe this would have made a significant impact to investment decisions with respect to our stock as we already had a significant increase in revenues and net income over 2022. This 9% increase in net income would not have made a material impact. We also believe that because this is a year over year issue and does not change the 2024 fiscal year ending stockholders’ equity, it does not warrant a full restatement and reissuance of the prior period financial statements.

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, the sale of customized content scenarios, and the sale of extended service-type warranties. 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:
| Performance Obligation | Method of Recognition |
|---|---|
| Simulator and accessories | Upon transfer of control |
| STEP Program | Deferred and recognized over the life of the contract |
| Installation and training | Upon completion or over the period of services being rendered |
| Extended service-type warranty | Deferred and recognized over the life of the extended warranty |
| Customized software and content | Upon transfer of control or over the period services are performed depending on the terms of the contract |
| Customized content scenario | As performance obligation is transferred over time (input method using time and materials expended) |
| Design and prototyping | Recognized at the completion of each agreed upon milestone |
| Sales-based royalty exchanged for license of intellectual property | Recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied over time – which is as the sales occur |
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 on 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.

Segment Information
Information related to the Company’s reportable operating business segments is shown below. The Company’s reportable segments are reported in a manner consistent with the way management evaluates the businesses. The results of operations are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer. The Company identifies its reportable business segments based on differences in products and services. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. To evaluate each reportable segment’s performance, the CODM uses income from operations as a measure of profit and loss. The CODM compares operational performance against management expectations when making decisions regarding allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment.

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 the customer’s receivable balance. Customer deposits are recorded as a current liability under deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet and totaled $3,755,187 and $4,047,269 on December 31, 2024, and 2023 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 $2,600,129 and $2,627,763 on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Deferred revenue for separately priced extended warranties longer than one year totaled $2,207,950 and $2,974,710 on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The accrual for the one-year manufacturer’s warranty liability totaled $212,000 and $354,000 on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $4,155,550 and $3,897,578, respectively, related to the extended service-type warranties that were 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.
STEP Revenue
The Company’s STEP operations consist principally of leasing its simulator products under operating agreements expiring in one year. At the commencement of a STEP agreement, any lease payments received are deferred and no income is recognized. Subsequently, payments are amortized and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The agreements are generally for a period of 12 months and can be renewed for an additional 12-month period up to two additional 12-month periods maximum of 36-months for the entire agreement. This is a change from prior years which allowed for renewals up to 48 months for a total of 60 months. Agreements may be terminated by either party upon written notice of termination at least sixty days prior to the end of the 12-month period. The payments are generally fixed for the first year of the agreement, with increases in payments in subsequent years to be mutually agreed upon. The agreements do not include variable lease payments or free rent periods. In addition, the agreements do not provide for the underlying assets to be purchased at their fair market values at interim periods or at maturity. Each STEP agreement comes with full customer support and stand-ready advance replacement parts to maintain each system for the duration of the lease. The amount that the Company expects to derive from the STEP equipment following the end of the agreement term is dependent upon the number of agreement terms renewed. The agreements do not include a residual value guarantee. Management notes with 4-year history of providing this service and additional revenue stream, the Company has only had cancellation of a totalof 8 STEP agreements before the 5-year end date of the contract this equates to less than 5% of all agreements.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivable, payables and accruals approximates fair value die to the short-term nature of these items. The notes payable also approximate fair value based on evaluations of market interest notes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Certificates of Deposit and Mutual Funds
The Company invests its excess cash in certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds issued by financial institutions with high credit ratings. The certificates of deposit generally have an average maturity of approximately six months and are subject to penalties for early withdrawal. The money market mutual funds are open-ended and can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.
Accounts and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Accounts receivable does not bear interest and are charged off after all reasonable collection efforts have been taken. The Company maintained an allowance for credit losses of $177,056 and $343,695 on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined on the average cost method. Work in progress and finished goods inventory includes an allocation for capitalized labor and overhead. The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventory for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory and, when appropriate, will record an adjustment to reduce inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Inventory reserves were $487,371 and $429,488 on December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of depreciation. Gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets are recognized in operations in the period incurred. Costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Depreciation commences at the time the assets are placed in service or for STEP equipment under agreements, when the equipment is made available for use by the customer. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets or for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term. For STEP equipment under agreements, depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the sixty-month maximum useful life instead of the remaining agreement term. Estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:
| Computer equipment | 3-5 years |
|---|---|
| Furniture and office equipment | 5-7 years |
| Leased STEP equipment | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 7 years |
| Building | 39.5 years |
| Building Improvements | 7 years |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets on December 31, 2024 and 2023 are comprised of various patents. We compute amortization expense on the patents using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of 16 years. We compute amortization expense on media content using the straight-line method over the weighted average remaining period which is 15 years.
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold represents manufacturing costs, consisting of materials, labor, travel and overhead related to finished goods, components and install and service trips . Cost of products sold includes depreciation of STEP contract fixed assets. Shipping costs incurred related to product delivery are included in the cost of products sold.
Advertising Costs
Costs associated with advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $239,285 and $156,010 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs include domestic and international trade shows, websites, and sales promotional materials.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily include expenses, including labor, directly related to research and development support. Research and development expenses were $3,003,302 and $2,794,314 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Legal Costs
Legal costs relating to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. See Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies.
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 and accounts 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 $17,540,827 and $18,349,842 on December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Sales 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.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had two customers that accounted for 28% and 13% of gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had two customers that accounted for 28% and 14% of total accounts receivable.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had one customer that accounted for 11% of the total revenue. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one customer that accounted for 19% of the total revenue
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company calculates a provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by identifying the temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in financial statements or tax returns, judgment and interpretation of statutes are required.
In assessing realizable deferred tax assets, management assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more likely than not that net deferred tax assets will or will not be realized. After review of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740, management determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will fully realize all its deferred tax asset and no valuation allowance was recorded on December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions on December 31, 2024 and 2023. Interest or penalties, if any, will be recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no significant unrecognized tax benefits because of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. Tax positions are positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions expected to be taken in a future tax return that are reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements.
The Company receives tax benefits, only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain the tax return position, based on its technical merits. If a tax benefit meets this criterion, it is measured and recognized 84 based on the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions on December 31, 2024 or 2023.
The Company is potentially subject to tax audits for its United States federal and various state income and excise tax returns for tax years between 2017 and 2024; however, earlier years may be subject to audit under certain circumstances. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long lived assets, such as equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company concluded that there has been no indication of impairment to the carrying value of its long-lived assets. As such, no impairment has been recorded.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The Company calculates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rates. See Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies and Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity regarding stock-based awards made during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The expected term of the options is the estimated period of time until exercise and was determined using an average of vesting and contractual terms, as we did not have sufficient historical experience of similar awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not plan to pay any dividends in the near future. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards and other options is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them at the time of grant.
Net Income 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:
| 2024 | 2023 (Restated) | |
|---|---|---|
| Net Income | $1,363,681 | $9,150,835 |
| Weighted average common stock outstanding | 11,162,917 | 10,958,448 |
| Incremental shares from stock options | - | 5,029 |
| Weighted average common stock outstanding, diluted | 11,162,917 | 10,963,477 |
| Net Income (Loss) per common share and common equivalent share | ||

On August 25, 2021, the Company completed the purchase of real property located in Chandler, Arizona (the “Property”) for $10,800,000, paid with cash and proceeds from a mortgage loan from Arizona Bank & Trust in the amount of $8,600,000 (Note 7). The Property consists of approximately 4.3 acres and an industrial building of approximately 76,650 square feet. The Company moved all of its operations and headquarters to the Property during 2022.
Under the provision of ASC 805, the Company determined this acquisition was an asset acquisition. This determination was based on substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in the similarly identifiable assets of the Property. The fair value was allocated to the land, building, and acquired leases based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50-30-3.
The fair value of the in-place leases is the estimated cost to replace the leases (including loss of rent, estimated commissions and legal fees paid in similar leases). The capitalized in-place leases are amortized over the remaining term of the leases as amortization expense. The fair value of the above or below market lease is the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the estimated current market lease rate expected over the remaining non-cancellable life of the lease. The capitalized above or below market lease values are amortized as a decrease or increase to the rental income over the remaining term of the lease.

Note 5. Leases
From 2016 through March 2019, the Company leased approximately 4,529 rentable square feet of office and industrial space from an unaffiliated third party for our machine shop at 2169 East 5th St., Tempe, Arizona 85284. In April 2019, the Company relocated the machine shop from the 5th St. location to 7910 South Kyrene Road, located within the same business complex as its main office. The Company executed a lease amendment to add an additional 5,131 rentable square feet for the machine shop and extended its existing office lease through April 30, 2024. On June 1, 2022, we entered into a new lease of approximately 9,350 square feet located at 12301 Challenger Parkway, Orlando, Florida, from an unaffiliate third party through May 2027.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees, restrictive covenants or variable lease payments. The Company has not entered into any financing leases.
In addition to base rent, the Company’s lease generally provides for additional payments for other charges, such as rental tax. The lease includes fixed rent escalations. The Company’s lease does not include an option to renew.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right of use assets, net, operating lease liability – short-term, and operating lease liability – long-term on its balance sheets.
Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption was 4.5%. Significant judgement is required when determining the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Effective June 1, 2022, the Company obtained a right-of-use asset in exchange for a new operating lease liability in the amount of $840,855. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company obtained a right-of-use asset in exchange for a new operating lease liability in the amount of $1,721,380 and derecognized $46,523 deferred rent for an adjusted operating lease right-of-use asset in the net amount of $1,674,857.

Employment Agreements
On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into three-year Employment Agreements with its (now former) Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer that called for base annual salaries of $195,000 and $175,000, respectively, subject to cost-of-living adjustments, and containing automatic one-year extension provisions. These contracts were renewed annually and were adjusted based on the same percentage increase approved for Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments. As of December 31, 2023, the former’s Chief Executive Officer’s base annual salary was $349,860. He resigned effective July 12, 2024.
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 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 were 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 granted 288,889 Restricted Stock Units, to be awarded based on the achievement of certain performance goals over the next three years.
The Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Givens effective August 15, 2023 that provides for an annual base salary of $349,860, subject to increases based on the cost of living at a minimum. The agreement automatically extends for additional periods of one year. The contract shall be renewed annually with upward adjustments each year applying the same percentage increase approved for Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments. The employment agreement entitles Mr. Givens to an annual cash bonus if so determined by VirTra’s Board of Directors. In addition, the agreement entitles Mr. Givens to participate in any equity incentive plan adopted by the Company.
Restricted Stock Units
Beginning on the last business day of August 2022, with respect to the then Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Operating Officer, a tranche of restricted stock units could vest if the Company had achieved net profit (net income under GAAP) for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022, of at least $2,500,000. For every $500,000 earned more than $2,500,000 another tranche would vest. If the maximum net profits (net income under GAAP) of $7,000,000 was achieved, ten tranches would vest. Similarly, on the last business day of August 2023, a tranche of restricted stock units could vest if the Company had achieved a net profit (net income under GAAP) 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 (net income under GAAP). This vesting arrangement continued with the last business day of August 2024, with the minimum net profit (net income under GAAP) threshold being $3,500,000 and the maximum net profit (net income under GAAP) being $11,000,000.
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, 2023, of $3,000,000 was probable and recorded an expense of $105,405 related to the RSUs for the period ending December 31, 2022. The Company determined that the net profit (net income under GAAP) over $4,500,000 would be probable and recorded an expense of $199,477 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company determined that the net profit (net income under GAAP) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 was at least $4,500,000 and therefore awarded 22,988 (prior to deduction of 9,142 shares to pay the tax withholding liability) and 29,360 (prior to deduction of 11,394 shares to pay the tax withholding liability) shares of common stock to its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively.
The Company determined based on vesting terms described above that the net profit (net income under GAAP) for the twelve months ending June 30, 2024 of $4,500,000 was probable and recorded an expense of $207,995 related to the RSU expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023.
In October 2023, the Chief Executive Officer was issued 133,333 shares upon settlement of restricted stock units.
In July 2024, the Executive Chairman was issued 100,000 (prior to the deduction of 41,457 shares to pay tax withholding) for a total issuance of 58,543 shares upon settlement of restricted stock units.
In October 2024, a single employee was granted 2,500 shares of common stock upon settlement of restricted stock units as a one-time compensation payment
In October 2024, the Chief Executive Officer was issued 118,519 (prior to the deduction of 46,367 shares to pay tax withholding) for a total issuance of 72,152 shares upon settlement of restricted stock units.
In December 2024, the Chief Financial Officer was awarded 10,000 (prior to deduction of 3,716 shares to pay tax withholding) for a total of 6,284 shares of common stock upon settlement of restricted stock units.
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 only to active employees. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount expensed to operations was $216,255 and $1,260,431, respectively.
Note 10. Income Taxes

Note 12. Subsequent Events
VirTra settled a lease dispute on the Kyrene property (signed in 2018) in February 2025. Since we had the full settlement amount of $275,000 before the financials were closed and the lease agreement ended in 2024, we recorded the entire expense in the 2024 financial statements under Other Expense and accrued the amount as a miscellaneous payable on the balance sheet.
