Note 11. 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. In June 2018, the Company initiated a declaratory judgment action in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona. A former customer had raised allegations of breach of contract and breach of warranty and the Company sought relief and clarification from the Superior Court regarding the allegations and the Company’s obligations under the contract with the former customer. In May 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement of $76,250. The agreement does not constitute an admission of any unlawful conduct or wrongdoing. The Company had established a probable and estimated loss contingency of $40,000 as of December 31, 2018. The full amount of the settlement has been paid at December 31, 2019.

 

The Company evaluated the collection history on its trade note receivable (See Note 2. Notes Receivable) and determined the note was in default. Based on collection history, interest accrual was suspended as of the last payment received in February 2019. In accordance with the terms of the note, accelerated payment was demanded. The Company filed a verified complaint in the Superior Court of Arizona for the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest, late fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees. On September 20, 2019, the Superior Court of Arizona awarded, in favor of VirTra, a Form of Judgement totaling $396,575, with interest accruing at the rate of 6.25% from date of judgment until such amount has been paid in full. In November 2019 the customer dissolved its legal entity and the balance of the note receivable $102,473 was written off to bad debt expense at December 31, 2019.

 

Employment Agreements

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into three-year Employment Agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer that call 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 have been renewed annually and have been adjusted based on the same percentage increase approved for Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments. As of December 31, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer’s base annual salary was $248,791 and the Chief Operating Officer’s base annual salary was $223,274.

 

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, 2020 and 2019, the amount expensed to operations was $206,869 and $93,160, respectively.
