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.

 

Employment Agreements

 

On April 2, 2012, the Company entered into three-year Employment Agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer that provide for annual base salaries of $195,000 and $175,000, respectively, subject to cost-of-living adjustments, and contain 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.

 

On August 26, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of VirTra, Inc. (the “Company”), relying upon third-party studies and recommendations, took several actions to bring the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) up to industry standards and provide meaningful incentive for future performance. The Committee (1) approved grants of 224,133 and 168,090 performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to the Company’s CEO and COO, respectively, with fair value on the grant date of August 26, 2021, of $1,559,966 and $1,169,906, respectively; (2) approved grants of 14,057 and 10,543 restricted shares with a fair value of $97,837 and $73,379, respectively, to the CEO and COO, respectively, based on the Company’s performance for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021; and (3) increased the annual base salaries effective August 15, 2021 to $349,860 and $251,140 for the CEO and COO, respectively. While their salaries have been annually increased with Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments, this was the first comprehensive review and adjustment undertaken since 2012.

 

Beginning on the last business day of August 2022, a tranche of restricted stock units may vest if the Company has 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 in excess of $2,500,000 another tranche will vest. If the maximum net profits (net income under GAAP) 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 (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 continues 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, 2022, of $2,500,000 is probable, the expense for the period ending September 30, 2021, is considered to be nominal.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, $225,000 was accrued for profit sharing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, $56,057 was accrued for profit sharing. The 2021 profit sharing estimate is revised quarterly and will be finalized after the year-end financial audit.
