PART I


Item 1.  Description of Business

                                

Company History


View Systems was incorporated in Florida on January 25, 1989, as Beneficial Investment Group, Inc. and became active in September 1998 when we began development of our digital video product line and changed the company's name to View Systems, Inc.  Starting in 1999 we expanded our business operations through a series of acquisitions of technologies we use in our digital video recorder technology products and in our concealed weapons technology.


On July 25, 2003, View Systems incorporated View Systems, Inc. as a wholly-owned Nevada corporation for the sole purpose of changing the domicile of the company from Florida to Nevada.  On July 31, 2003, articles of merger were filed with the state of Nevada to complete the domicile merger.


Our Business Operations


View Systems, Inc. develops, produces and markets computer software and hardware systems for security and surveillance applications.  In 1998 digital video recorder technology was our first developed product and we enhanced this product line by developing interfaces with other various technologies, such as facial recognition, access control cards and control devices such as magnetic locks, alarms and other common security devices.  In 2003 we sold this product

to places like the Ronald McDonald house and the University of Maryland Medical Center. Other installations included schools, restaurants, night clubs, car washers and car dealers (license plate recognition was incorporated into these types of installations), ranches and gas stations.  In these

installations we integrated the digital video recorded technology with other electronic devices and we gained knowledge of the security needs of a wide range of businesses.


We expanded our product line in 2002 to include a concealed weapons detection system we call SecureScan.  We have penetrated four major market segments for this product: correctional facilities, courts, probation offices and federal facilities in the Mid-Atlantic states, the West Coast and the South.  In 2003 we added a hazardous material first response wireless video transmitting

system to our product line we refer to as Visual First Responder.  The markets for these units are first responder units such as the National Guard, Coast Guard, Army, state law enforcement agencies and fire departments.


Until 2005 we assembled all of our products in-house, but we currently contract with third party manufacturers to manufacture the components of SecureScan and Visual First Responder products.


Products and Services


1. SecureScan Concealed Weapons Detection System


We acquired exclusive licenses to manufacture, use, sub-license and distribute technology and processes for the concealed weapons detection technology and the first response wireless video transmitting system from Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC.  Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC manages and operates the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Engineering Laboratory ("Idaho Engineering Lab").  The development of the concealed weapons detection



5






technology was funded by the National Institute of Justice and development was performed by the Idaho Engineering Lab.  The SecureScan concealed weapons detection technology was patented by the Department of Energy and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.  View Systems owns the exclusive worldwide rights to the SecureScan technology and ongoing improvements currently being funded by the National Institute of Justice.


This product is a walk-through concealed weapons detector which uses sensing technology and artificial intelligence algorithms to accurately pinpoint the location, size and number of concealed weapons.  The control unit for this walk-through portal is a personal computer based unit which receives magnetic and video information and combines it in a manner that allows the suspected location of the weapon to be stored electronically and referenced.  SecureScan products are distributed in three basic configurations; stand-alone units, portable units and integrated door systems.


Concealed weapons detection systems are used in a wide range of situations in order to provide added security against violent crimes. In addition to the well-known use of concealed weapons detection systems in public airports, such weapons detection systems are increasingly being used in court houses, schools and other public/governmental facilities that may be subject to threats or

attacks by various members of the public.  Our marketing efforts and sales have been to courthouses, schools, correction facilities, and other public/governmental facilities, rather than public airports.


One commonly used concealed weapons detection system is the electromagnetic induction system.  Essentially an electromagnetic induction system operates by periodically broadcasting an electromagnetic pulse or series of pulses, usually in the kilohertz range.  The transmitted electromagnetic pulse induces an electrical current, or currents, in electrically conductive objects

contained within the sensing area. The induced electrical current or currents create their own electromagnetic signals which are then detected by a suitable detector associated with this type of weapons detection system.


While electromagnetic induction systems of the type described above have been used for decades as concealed weapons detection systems, they are not without their problems.  For example, such electromagnetic induction systems are generally sensitive to the overall size, i.e., surface area of the object, including its mass.  Consequently, small, compact, but massive objects, such as a small pistol, may not produce a "signature" that is significantly larger than the signature produced by a light weight object of the same or greater size, such as a cell phone or compact camera.  Another problem associated with electromagnetic induction systems is related to the fact that electromagnetic systems are sensitive to electrically conductive objects, regardless of

whether they are magnetic or non-magnetic. That is, electromagnetic systems tend to detect non-magnetic objects, such as pocket change, just as easily as magnetic objects, such as weapons.  Consequently, electromagnetic systems tend to be prone to false alarms.  In many circumstances, such false alarms need to be resolved by scanning the suspect with a hand-held detector in order to confirm or deny the presence of a dangerous weapon.


Our SecureScan system differs from electromagnetic induction systems because the SecureScan system uses passive magnetic technology.  When an object of a specific ferro-magnetic mass passes by the magnetic sensors the surrounding magnetic field is altered. The software calculates the difference between the magnetic field strength with the object in the magnetic field inside the

sensors' range and the normal magnetic field strength.  Then the system displays the results in graph format on a video display unit.  Since the SecureScan technology does not use transmitters to produce electromagnetic induction, it does not pose a problem for pacemakers.

The SecureScan portal uses an array of advanced magnetic sensors, each with internal digital signal processors.  The sensors communicate with the control unit's software which spatially places identified magnetic anomalies and visually places the location of the potential threat object with a red dot that is superimposed over a real time snapshot image of the person walking through the portal.  Along with the snapshot, a graph displays the sensor data which automatically scales the signal strength of the individual sensors and cross-references them to the video image.  All of this information is brought together on a video screen that displays the image of the person, the location of the weapon(s) and the size of the weapon(s), depending on the intensity of the magnetic signature.  The visual image allows the operator to determine what the object is without the need to conduct a personal search to locate the object and look at it.


The SecureScan technology discriminates weapons from non-weapons by assuming that possible threat objects will have ferromagnetic composition.  The SecureScan system promotes rapid, smooth traffic flow because it only detects the types of ferrous metals commonly found in guns and knives, rather than personal possessions such as coins, keys or belt buckles.  This capability

reduces false alarms and eliminates the need to use hand wands or resort to a personal search.  Body cavity object identification is also a feature, as well as locating objects that have been covered or masked with aluminum foil or other materials.  The SecureScan system operates faster than ordinary metal detectors and can scan as high as 1,200 persons per hour.


The SecureScan weapons detection system can be controlled via a central monitoring station using a Windows operating system and Pentium hardware. This can include additional closed-circuit television, two-way voice communication, door interlock, card-key and other biometric identification or access control components.  The functionality of the SecureScan portal is

increased by access control, database recording, video capture and archiving of images.


In 2004 we introduced the SecureScan product to the venue and stadium market.  In February 2005 we tested the SecureScan at the pre-game venues of the Super Bowl football game in Jacksonville, Florida.  During that installation, the portal scanned up to 3,000 to 4,000 people and at various times throughput ranged from approximately 600 to 1,200 persons per hour.


During 2005 we contracted with the University of Northern Florida to design new sensor boards for the SecureScan product which has allowed us to reduce the installed sensor cost by a factor of four.  The new lower costs allow us to offer price points to the market which compete directly with traditional metal detectors.  We sell these units for an average retail price of approximately $10,000 with a one year extended warranty.  We feel the new reduced price points and enhanced interface abilities will allow us to be more competitive, along with the advantages of three to four times the throughput rate, non-contact imaging and permanent visual storage, and a log of all

individuals scanned.  We are making additional cost reductions through economies of scale and larger scale integration by taking advantage of ongoing computer component improvements.


In February 2006 we demonstrated a SecureScan II product with a precision optical biometric fingerprint terminal.  We had developed this product with Sagem Morpho, a multi-biometric solutions provider.  In March 2006 the Georgia Courts placed a purchase order for three Secure Scan II units with fingerprint identification capabilities.  As expected,  the demand for biometric interfaces has increased significantly.  In addition to verifying that an individual is not carrying guns, knives and sometimes cameras, the units can perform multi-modal double and triple identity checks, including: fingerprint, facial,  iris, drivers license and employee identification card verification.

In spring of 2006 we entered into an additional CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to integrate nuclear radiation sensors  into the Securescan portal. We paid $50,000 (of a $200,000 total) as initial investment to license and deploy these sensors with the help of INL.  We also hired an additional electrical engineer to reengineer the Securescan to integrate this additional data with the magnetic and visual data processed by the firm/software.  The entire processing system was rewritten into a Linux based java operating system by another engineer hired for that purpose.  


We intend to continue development to integrate explosive and drug detections capabilities into the SecureScan


2.  Visual First Responder


In December 2003 View Systems obtained exclusive licensing and marketing rights for the HAZMAT CAM technology from the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory.  


Visual First Responder is a lightweight, wireless camera system housed in a tough, waterproof flashlight body.  The camera system sends back real-time images to a computer or video monitor at the command post located outside the exclusion zone or containment area.  Visual First Responder is able to transmit high quality video in the most difficult environments.  It uses a

patented triple-diversity antenna system that minimizes signal distortion in urban environments.  Traditional wireless videos use one antenna and a single receiver.  The problem with this configuration is that signals multi-path, which means they bounce off other structures, like buildings, file cabinets, etc., on the way to the receiver.  This multi-pathing causes interference and seriously degrades the video images.  The Visual First Responder receiver seeks the strongest signal from each of the three antennas and locks in that signal, resulting in a more reliable and clearer image.


The image received from the Visual First Responder monitor or on the Visual First Responder color LCD monitor, and can be easily recorded using a common camcorder or VCR with video input.  The camera can be completely submerged for fast and easy decontamination.  We also offer a unit with 360 degree coverage of a target area.


Visual First Responder also uses Extension Link which is a separate transmitter and receiving system that increases the operating range of the Visual First Responder.  The Extension Link has field-selectable channels to avoid interference at longer distances.  We have also incorporated a video encryption feature that allows first responders to transmit on-scene video to the command post without the data being intercepted by unwanted parties.


The complete Visual First Responder fully deployed by one person in a stand alone configuration in less than 10 minutes.  The system is battery operated and can operate for eight continuous hours using one set of spare camera batteries.  We sell this base product for approximately $18,000 retail, but the cost can be as high as $30,500 depending on additional special features

such as the extension link and encryption capabilities.


In March 2006 we introduced the Visual First Responder M2.  This new product allows "hands-free" operation of the unit because it allows the person to wear the unit as a helmet mounted monocle.




8






We have entered into a cooperative research and development agreement with the Idaho Engineering Lab for the Visual First Responder.  This agreement allows us to use the research and development resources of the Idaho Engineering Lab to further develop the technology as driven by customer need.  The cooperative research and development agreement provides a means for View Systems to efficiently continue to offer state of the art technology, yet concentrate on its marketing and manufacturing operations.


3.Cellphone Intercept Apparatus (C.I.A.)


View Systems recently added C.I.A. wireless cell phone detection and monitoring system to its product line. C.I.A. was originally created for the military as a tool to seek out cell phones being used to detonate bombs. It has the ability to locate cell phones, store their unique codes in a database and even drain battery power or disable the unit.  It has 4 Modes of Operation:


·

Interrogate Mode: Stores phone’s IMSI / IMEI code in system database and releases the handset back to the Commercial Network in a non-destructive manner.


·

Targeted Mode: Stores phone’s IMSI / IMEI code in system database, and releases them in a nondestructive manner except for ‘Targets’ which are locked to the system until they go out of range or are released by the system.


·

Firewall Mode: Stores phone’s IMSI / IMEI code in system database and locks them, controlling the ability to make or receive calls, SMSs, etc.


·

DF Mode: Stores phone’s IMSI / IMEI code in system database and releases the phone back to the commercial network in a non-destructive manner, except for those designated as ‘DF’ which will be locked until they go out of range or are placed into a “covert call” mode that facilitates their location with a DF unit.


The C.I.A. unit carries a price point in excess of $300,000  plus installation and training.  The gross margin of this product is in excess of 50%.  The patent holder of the product has asked us to be the exclusive manufacturer and distributer to other resellers and end users.  We feel that that will enhance gross margins through further cost reductions via re-engineering and volume discounts.  The indicated market size for correctional facilities alone is in excess of $300,000,000.

At the present time we only offer this product to government authorities and government controlled institutions.


4.ViewMaxx Digital Video System


ViewMaxx is a high-resolution, digital video recording and real-time monitoring system.  This system can be scaled to meet a specific customer's needs by using anywhere from one camera up to 16 surveillance cameras per each ViewMaxx unit.  The system uses a video capture card recording which translates closed-circuit television analog video data (a format normally used

by broadcasters for national television programs) to a computer readable digital format to be stored on direct access digital disk devices rather than the conventional television format of video tape.


ViewMaxx offers programmable recording features that can eliminate the unnecessary storage of non-critical image data.  This ability allows the user to utilize the digital disk storage more efficiently.  The ViewMaxx system can be programmed to satisfy each customer's special



9






requirements, be it coverage which is continuous, or only when events are detected.  For example, it can be programmed to begin recording when motion is detected in a surveillance area,

or a smaller field of interest within the surveillance area, and can be programmed to notify the user with an alarm or message.


Viewing of the stored digital images can be performed locally on the computer's video display unit or remotely through the customer's existing telecom systems or data network.  It also uses a multi-mode search tool to quickly play back files with simple point and click operations.  The search mode parameters can be set according to a specific monitoring need, such as: certain times of day, selected areas of interest in the field of view or breaches of limit areas.  These features and abilities avoid the need to review an entire, or many, VCR tapes for a critical event.


Our ViewMaxx products include the following features:


.     Use any and all forms of telecommunications, such as standard telephone

      lines;


.     Video can be monitored 24 hours a day by a security monitoring center;


.     Local and remote recording, storage and playback for up to 28 days, with

      optional additional storage capability;


.     The system may be set to automatically review an area in a desired

      camera sequence;


.     Stores the video image according to time or a criteria specified by the

      customer and retrieves the visual data selectively in a manner that the

      customer considers valuable or desirable;


.     The system may trigger programmed responses to events detected in a

      surveillance area, such as break-ins or other unauthorized breaches of

      the secured area;


.     Cameras can be concealed in ordinary home devices such as smoke

      detectors;


.     The system monitors itself to insure system functionality with alert

      messages in the event of covert or natural interruption; and


.     Modular expansion system configuration allows the user to purchase

      add-on components at a later date.


Depending on the features of a particular system the retail price can range from approximately $1,500 up to $6,500.


3. Additional Products


We also offer integration of other products with SecureScan or ViewMaxx.   Biometric verification is a system for recognizing faces and comparing them to known individuals, such as employees or individuals wanted by law enforcement agencies.  This product can be interfaced with SecureScan and/or ViewMaxx to limit individual access to an area.  SecureScan and/or



10






ViewMaxx can be coupled with magnetic door locks to restrict access to a particular area.  We also offer a central monitoring or video command center for SecureScan or ViewMaxx

products.


In addition, we offer support services for our products which include:

.      On site consulting/planning with customer architect and engineers,


.      Installation and technical support,


.      Training and "Train the Trainer" programs, and


.      Extended service agreements.


OUR MARKET


Our family of products offers government and law enforcement agencies, commercial security professionals, private businesses and residential consumers an enhanced surveillance and detection capacity.  Management has chosen to avoid the air passenger traffic and civilian airport market for metal detection because we believe that a larger market exists in venues such as sporting events, concerts, and race tracks, and schools, courthouses and municipal buildings, and law enforcement agencies.


Commercial business users represent the greatest potential users of our surveillance and weapons detection products.  Commercial businesses have already realized the need for surveillance and using access control devices for protection of employees, customers, and assets.  Our products can curtail crime and prevent loss caused by employees and others.  The market for surveillance technology includes many types of commercial buildings; including, hospitals, schools, museums, retail, manufacturing and warehousing facilities.


Our SecureScan products and technology can be used where there is a temporary requirement for real-time weapons detection devices in areas where a permanent installation is cost prohibitive or impractical.  For example, our SecureScan portal could be set up for special events, concerts, and conventions.  Our systems may reduce the need for a large guard force and can provide improved

pedestrian traffic flow into an event because individuals can be scanned quickly and false alarms are reduced.


Schools have been very receptive and enthusiastic about the SecureScan portal and its integration with School Technology Management's Comprehensive Attendance/Security System.  In early October 2003 we announced an alliance with School Technology Management, Inc. to integrate and market its products with ours.  School Technology Management developed the comprehensive Attendance, Administration and Security System ("Comprehensive Attendance/Security System"), which is designed to use a magnetic card swipe system to monitor identification of students entering a school and to verify each student's attendance.  School Technology Management combined our SecureScan portal with its card swipe system.


With the combined technology a student enters the portal and is scanned for any threat objects and his or her identity is concurrently confirmed to school security officers.  During the spring semester of 2004, a subcontractor of the National Institute of Justice conducted a study of the effectiveness of the SecureScan portal in a school environment and the results were positive.  The

combined technology has been tested in schools in New York and Philadelphia. Management estimates that there are over 120,000 schools in the United States that may have problems with



11






violence, truancy and other safety considerations, which may be addressed by the combined technology.


In addition to school security, the gathering of video and data images and weapons detection is commonplace in law enforcement.  Because our technology can be used for stakeouts and remote monitoring of areas, we believe there is a market potential with law enforcement agencies.  A primary market for our SecureScan portal is federal and state government courthouses, county and municipal buildings, and correctional facilities.  We have installed our SecureScan weapons detection products in a variety of court house situations.


The Visual First Responder product's market includes state National Guard units and first response agencies, such as; firemen, police swat and homeland security response teams.


The residential home security user may purchase our products from either commercial companies installing self-contained or centrally monitored systems, or directly from retail distribution centers.  However, at this time we do not have retail agreements in place.  Using our technology, individuals may run their own perimeter and interior surveillance systems from their own home

computer.  Real-time action at home can be monitored remotely through a modem and the Internet.  There is also the capability to make real-time monitors wireless.  An additional advantage of our technology is that it allows for the storage of information on the home computer and does not require a VCR.  This capability may reduce the expense and time of the home installation and may make installation affordable for a majority of homeowners.


Manufacturing


We initially manufactured the SecureScan portal internally at our facilities in Baltimore, Maryland.  During the second quarter of 2004 we set up a complete manufacturing line in the Baltimore, Maryland facility for building, testing and further development of the Visual First Responder product.  In August 2005 we contracted with Inter-Connect Electronics, Inc. to manufacture and assemble our Visual First Responder units.  In the summer of 2005, we  contracted with Sports Field Specialties, LLC, a sheet metal manufacturer, to build the SecureScan product line.    The Sports Field Specialties relationship did not work out due to quality and support issues.  We settled our issues with a separation of the relationship and a payment plan for supplied components. We continue to entertain other manufacturing alternatives to insure the lowest possible cost while maintaining the highest possible quality.


Our third party manufacturers create several of the hardware components in our systems and assemble our systems by combining other commercially available hardware and software together with our proprietary software.  We hold licenses for software components that are integrated into our proprietary software and installed in our systems.  We believe that we can continue to

obtain components for our systems at reasonable prices from a variety of sources.  Although we have developed certain proprietary hardware components for use in our products and purchased some components from single source suppliers, we believe similar components can be obtained from alternative suppliers without significant delay.


Sales and Distribution


We are in the process of building a United States domestic network of manufacturing representatives and dealers for the sale and distribution of our products. We have added a Distributor in the Texas region to manage our end user dealer relationships.  The distributor has successfully placed several units and we are encouraged by the progress. We are seeking security



12






consultants, specifiers and distributors of security and surveillance equipment that sell directly to schools, courthouses, and government and commercial buildings. We hired four in-house regional sales persons and intend to develop a national sales channel model and a distributor development program.


We use mailings and telephone calls to contact potential representatives in a geographical area with the intent to arrange a demonstration of our products to these persons.  We attend region specific trade shows such as sheriff's conventions, court administrators meetings, civil support team and state police shows.  Then we demonstrate or give trial offers in the area until a

sale is completed.  Once we have completed a sale in a specific market area, then we expand that market by contacting correctional facilities, courthouses and other municipal buildings.  We ship our products to the customer and each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund.


We have ongoing reseller arrangements with small- and medium-sized domestic and international resellers.  Our reseller agreements grant a non-exclusive right to the reseller to purchase our products at a discount from the list price and then sell them to others.  These agreements are generally for a term of one year and automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless

terminated by notice or in the event of breach.


We also have experienced international interest from security related resellers and system integrators.    Previously, we had chosen not to pursue international markets, but are now evaluating potential sales in the Middle East.  We have opened a distribution center in Bahrain and have sold units to several companies and have entered reseller relationships to distribute all our products more widely.


Backlog


As of December 31, 2006, we had a backlog of $650,000, up from September 30, 2006.  We measure backlog as orders for which a purchase order or contract has been signed or a verbal commitment for order or delivery has been made, but which has not yet been shipped and for which revenues have not been recognized.  We typically ship our products months after receiving an order.  However, we are attempting to shorten this lead time to several weeks.

Also, product shipments may require more lead-time and may be delayed for a variety of reasons beyond our control, including:


.      additional time necessary to conduct product inspections prior to

       shipping,


.      design or specification changes by the customer,


.      the customer's need to prepare the site, and


.      delays caused by other contractors on the project.


Major Customers


During the year ended December 31, 2006 we had one customer, Battelle Energy Alliance, L.L.C., that accounted for $149,050, or 11.9%, of our revenues. These sales were related to product sales of our Visual First Responder. Battelle Energy Alliance, L.L.C. is a science and



13






technology organization that develops and commercializes technology and manages laboratories for the National Laboratories, Department of Defense and other clients. These customers continue to order products from us.  We currently have a backlog of approximately $200,000 plus.


Competition


The markets for our products are extremely competitive.  Competitors include a broad range of companies that develop and market products for the identification and video surveillance markets.  In the weapons detection market, we compete with Ranger Security Scanners, Inc. and Garrett

Electronics, Inc. in the United States, and an Italian company, CEIA SpA, which has the most sophisticated electromagnetic induction product.  In the video surveillance market we compete with numerous VCR suppliers and digital recording suppliers, including, Sensormatic Corporation and NICE Systems, Ltd. and Integral Systems.

Certain features of our products and documentation are proprietary and we rely on a combination of patent, contract, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect our proprietary information.  We limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information.  As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and mutual non-disclosure agreements with our manufacturing representatives, dealers and systems integrators.  Notwithstanding such actions, a court considering these provisions may determine not to enforce

such provisions or only partially enforce such provisions.


The SecureScan concealed weapons detection technology involves sensing technology and data acquisition/analysis software subsystems that have patents pending or issued to the U. S. Department of Energy.  We hold an exclusive license, D.O.E. License No. 03-LA-18, to commercialize, manufacture and market the concealed weapons detection technology.  However, since the intellectual property was developed by the federal government under a grant from the

National Institute of Justice, the patents belong to the government and we pay royalties of 2% of the net sale price per SecureScan unit sold.  We also hold the exclusive license, D.O.E. License No. 03-LA-20, for the Visual First Responder technology and pay royalties of 4% of the net sale price per each Visual First Responder unit sold.


Governmental ownership of the patents is advantageous because the government has prosecution and stewardship responsibilities for the life of the patents. We enjoy the benefit of any continuations and improvements to the concealed weapons detection technology performed by the government under the ongoing contract between the Department of Energy and National Institute of Justice.  Our exclusive marketing agreement allows us to have cutting edge technology without funding the research and development or patent applications.


We have obtained software licensing agreements for


.      software operating systems components,


.      fingerprint identification to possibly integrate into our proprietary

       software, and


.      integration of commercially available operating systems software into



14






       our proprietary software for installation into our products.


Because the software and firmware (software imbedded in hardware) are in a state of continuous development, we have not filed applications to register the copyrights for these items.  However, under law, copyright vests upon creation of our software and firmware.  Registration is not a prerequisite for the acquisition of copyright rights.  We take steps to insure that notices are

placed on these items to indicate that they are copyright protected.  The copyright protection for our software extends for the 20-year statutory period from the date of first "publication," distribution of copies to the general public, or from the date of creation, whichever occurs first.


We provide software to end-users under non-exclusive "shrink-wrap" licenses, which are automatic licenses executed once the package is opened.  This type of license has a perpetual term and is generally nontransferable.  Although we do not generally make source code available to end-users, we may, from time to time, enter into source code escrow agreements with certain customers.  We have also obtained licenses for certain software from third parties for

incorporation into our products.


Research and Development


We have cooperative research arrangements with the Department of Energy to receive technical assistance and further enhancements of the concealed weapons detection technology, nuclear sensors and the Visual First Responder technology that are performed by the Department of Energy and the National Institute of Justice.  We also contract with engineers and other third parties to develop or vary the design of our products and we record these expenses as professional fees.


Regulatory Environment


We are not subject to government regulation in the manufacture of our products or the components in our products.  However, our products are subject to certain government restrictions on sales to "unfriendly" countries and countries designated as adversarial, which may limit our sales to the international market.  In addition, our resellers and end users may be subject

to numerous regulations that stem from surveillance activities.  We also benefit from the recent "made in America" trade laws where non-United States manufactures must secure waivers in order to sell security and surveillance products to United States domestic end-users.


Security and surveillance systems, including cameras, raise privacy issues and our products involve both video and audio, and added features for facial identification.  The regulations regarding the recording and storage of this data are uncertain and evolving.  For example, under the Federal wiretapping statute, the audio portion of our surveillance systems may not record people's conversations without their consent.  Further, there are state and federal laws associated with recording video in non-public places.


Employees


As of the date of this annual report, the Company employed approximately 17 persons, including four sales executives, 2 engineers and three office personnel.  Two persons are part-time and we also contract with two independent contractors who devote a majority of their work to a variety of our projects.  Our employees are not presently covered by any collective bargaining agreement.  Our relations with our employees are good, and we have not experienced any work stoppages.

Overview


Our product lines are related to visual surveillance, intrusion detection and physical security.  Our principal products include:


·

SecureScan Concealed Weapons Detection System – a walk-through concealed weapons detector which uses passive magnetic sensing technology and location algorithms to suggest the location of certain kinds of threat objects or other undesirable objects such as cell phones or digital cameras.  The control unit for this patented product combines the magnetic and video information in a manner that allows it to be stored and displayed for easy recognition and auditory warning.  The software system’s architecture allows for remote monitoring, networking and integration of biometrics and access control devices.


·

Biometric analysis such as fingerprint verification or facial recognition can be and have been incorporated into SecureScan.  The control unit can be programed to automatically search against “most wanted” or outstanding warrant databases. Access control methods such as magnetic door locks can and have been incorporated


·

Central monitoring or video command centers which have and can be combined with the SecureScan product.


·

Passport and driver’s license verification for positive identification in correctional facilities, large government and commercial office buildings have been and are currently being combined with the SecureScan portal.


·

A patented integrated and networkable neutron and gamma-ray radiation sub-system which is being integrated into other detection systems.


·

ViewMaxx Digitial Video products – a high-resolution, digital video recording and real-time monitoring system.


·

Visual First Responder – a lightweight, wireless camera system housed in a tough, waterproof flashlight body.  The camera systems sends real-time images back to a video monitor at a command post located outside the exclusion zone or contaminated area. The Visual First Responder is able to transmit high quality video in the most difficult environments.  It uses a triple-diversity antenna system that minimizes signal distortion in difficult environments.  A multitude of these systems have been deployed by the Department of Defense in combat areas.


Management believes that heightened attention to personal threats, potential large scale destruction and theft of property in the United States along with spending by the United States government on Homeland Security will continue to drive growth in the market for security products.


During 2004 we increased our product lines to include our Visual First Responder and during 2005 we had  engineering design changes made to the sensor boards for the SecureScan product to allow lower costs and to accommodate the price points required by competitive pressures.  Also, in 2005 we redesigned and outsourced the assembly and manufacture of the Visual First Responder and SecureScan products.



19







During 2005 we continued to establish new partnerships, add active resellers and dealers and we hired four sales representatives to build a United States domestic network for the sale and distribution of our products within the 48 states.  These developments have led to increased sales while at the same time decreasing the cost of products.  We intend to develop these sales and distribution channels to a level that will result in increased revenues and continued profitability.  We have completed sales in the correctional facility market, some Homeland Security departments and some sports venues.


During 2006 we previewed our Biometric SecureScan III which includes positive identification and biometric verification capabilities, expanded our dealers and resellers in the Mid-West and Southwest region of the United States, introduced two new products.  The SecureScan III includes a fingerprint identification and verification system, state-issued identification scanning device for driver’s licenses and passports, and a visitor badge printing system.  The new products introduced in 2006 include a product offering marketed as the “LAW,” which is a handheld metal detector designed to improve police officer safety and a new wireless network detection system that senses cell phones and recognizes their identity, can intercept their transmissions and/or pass the signal on or return “network busy” signals.  We do not manufacture the “LAW” product but use it as an adjunct to the SecureScan and sell it separately.   The wireless network detection system is currently a military product and we are intending to deploy it exclusively in the correctional facilities market.  Response to and interest in this technology has been from high security situations.  


We have also continued to explore international markets in the Mid-East and Thailand and have to establish some international relationships such as distributors and dealers.    We are continuing to develop the integration of nuclear sensor technology into our SecureScan and our Visual First Responder products to sense enriched low and high grade nuclear material.  This technology will allow our products to detect enriched nuclear material that may be used to build nuclear based explosive devices or for creating radiological disasters, such as “dirty bombs”.  In addition, this technology will be used in stand alone handheld portable detectors or network environments where smoke detectors or motion sensing including “intelligent video” systems have been deployed.  This technology is based on existing patents owned by the United States government and is licensed exclusively to View Systems for the purpose of commercializing it.


For the next twelve months our primary challenge will be to continue to develop our sales and distribution network into additional regions and markets in the United States and abroad.  We have been and plan to continue to increase sales by offering demonstrations of our products in specific geographical areas to potential customers or at region specific trade shows, such as sheriff’s conventions, court administrators’ meetings, civil support team, state police shows and dealers shows.  When a demonstration results in a sale of one of our products, then we attempt to expand that market by contacting other potential customers in the area, such as, correctional facilities, courthouses and other municipal buildings.  After several sales in a particular geographic area management will decide whether it is appropriate to open a sales and service office.


In the short term, management plans to raise funding through sales of our common stock for fulfillment (manufacturing, packaging and shipment), which will set the stage for future orders becoming self funding.  Then the next phase of our business plan is to raise additional funds through common stock offerings to provide working capital to finance several acquisitions and the integration of new technologies and businesses.




20






We have identified a company for acquisition that has just received a patent for an encryption engine which secures wireless and wired transactions (voice, data and video) from hackers and intruders.  The technology is a market disruptive technology which supersedes  any other encryption and security methods currently used.  Both inventors have been career encryption specialists with the federal government at the highest and most secure levels.  We have also identified a second company which is a Department of Defense service provider that is based in the Mid-east.  This company has significant revenues and a cadre of consultants that will be of great benefit during the deployment of our products in that region.  We are in the initial stages of negotiations for these acquisitions and we have not entered into a definite agreement with either company.


We have also entered into an agreement with the Bahrain Investment Development Bank , which is providing support for the establishment of a distribution and manufacturing entity.  We will be providing security screening for premier events in the gulf countries such as Formula 1 racing and venues ranging from UAE, Saudia Arabia and Bahrain.  The agreement gives View Systems access to dealerships and agents worldwide

Revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer.  The concealed weapons system and the digital video system each require installation and training.  Training is a revenue source separate and apart from the sale of the product.  In those cases revenue is recognized at the completion of the installation and training.  


Our marketing efforts have increased sales of our SecureScan and Visual First Responder and resulted in increased revenues for 2006 compared to 2005.  We also introduced new products in



21






2006, including the Cellphone Intercept Apparatus (C.I.A.) system.  Management anticipates that increases in revenues will continue as we develop our sales and marketing channels and establish local sales and service offices in geographic areas where we have already completed sales.  The increased net revenues for 2006 resulted in an increased gross profit for 2006 compared to 2005.


The following chart provides a breakdown of our sales in 2006 and 2005.

Our backlog at December 31, 2006, was $640,000, up from $200,000 at December 31, 2005.  The delay between the time of the purchase order and shipping of the product results in a delay of recognition of the revenue from the sale.  This delay in recognition of revenues will continue as part of our results of operations.


Cost of sales include costs of products sold and shipping costs and were approximately 60% of net revenues for 2006, an increase from 54% in 2005.  The increase from year to year was primarily the result of decreased price points for an increased volume of units shipped. Management anticipates that the relative margins of each product line should remain relatively the same during 2007.


For 2006 total operating expense decreased compared to 2005.  The decrease in 2006 was primarily a result of a reduction in professional fees expense recognized related to agreements and consulting contracts with third parties from $1,774,696 to $286,229.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years and had a net loss of $1,140,452 at December 31, 2006.  Our revenues from product sales have been increasing but are not sufficient to cover our operating expenses.  Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern.  


Historically, we have relied on revenues, debt financing and sales of our common stock to satisfy our cash requirements.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, we received cash from revenues of $1,250,188, proceeds from debt financing of $526,425 (less principal payments on notes payable of $10,797), $312,800 from sales of our common stock (less costs of issuance of common stock of $23,526) and $49,175 from stockholder advances.  For the year ended December 31, 2005 we received cash from revenues of $1,172,163, proceeds of $312,534 from sales of our common stock and relied on advances of $64,000 from Gunther Than, our CEO.  

We also continue to rely on the issuance of our common stock to pay for services and to convert debt when cash is unavailable. For the year ended December 31, 2006 we issued 795,000 shares, valued at $73,800, to officers and employees for services, and we issued 560,000 shares, valued at $70,400 to independent contractors and consultants for services.  For the year ended December 31, 2005 we issued 2,907,000 shares, valued at $294,540, to officers and employees for services, and we issued 7,199,000 shares, valued at $1,562,376 to independent contractors and consultants for services.  Management anticipates that we will continue to issue shares for services in the short term.  




22






As of December 31, 2006 we had approximately 1,601,588 authorized common shares remaining and management believes we will need to take the necessary steps to increase our authorized common stock during 2007.  On September 11, 2006, the Company filed an Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the SEC with respect to the receipt of the approval of holders of a majority of our then outstanding shares of, among other things, an increase in the authorized common stock of the Company to 250,000,000 shares.  However, due to possible or potential technical violations of the proxy rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the method of acquisition of such approvals and proxies, management of the Company notified the SEC in March 2007 that it will not rely on any prior proxies or approvals obtained with respect to the matters described in the Schedule 14C and would not pursue SEC approval of the preliminary Information Statement or filing or mailing of a definitive Information Statement related to such proxies and approvals.   Instead, the Company intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders during the second quarter of 2007 to consider, among, other things, an increase in the authorized common stock of the Company to 250,000,000 shares.


Management intends to finance our 2007 operations primarily with the revenue from product sales and any cash short falls will be addressed through equity financing, if available.  Management expects revenues will continue to increase but not to the point of profitability in the short term.  We will need to continue to raise additional capital, both internally and externally, to cover cash shortfalls and to compete in our markets.  At our current revenue levels management believes we will require an additional $500,000 during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $100,000 per month.  These operating costs include cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, salaries and benefits and professional fees related to contracting engineers.  We have insufficient financing commitments in place to meet our expected cash requirements for 2007and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms.  If we cannot obtain financing to fund our operations in 2007, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations.


COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES


The Company leases office and warehouse space in Baltimore, MD under a three-year non-cancellable operating lease, expiring October 2008.  Base rent is $2,872 per month with an annual rent escalator of 3%.  The Company also leases warehouse and office space in Jacksonville, FL under a two-year non-cancellable operating lease, expiring in January 2008. Base rent is $1,506 with an annual rent escalator of 4%.  The Company also rents additional space in Baltimore, MD and Lomita, CA under leases which are not long term.  Rent expense was $135,690 and $81,216 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  At December 31, 2006, future minimum payments for operating leases related to our office and manufacturing facilities were $86,193 through December 31, 2008.  


Our total current liabilities increased to $1,338,691 at December 31, 2006 compared to $712,658 at December 31, 2005.  Our total current liabilities at December 31, 2006 included accounts payable of $421,908, accrued expenses of $35,452, accrued interest of $100,860, accrued royalties of $75,000, loans to a shareholder of $113,175 and notes payable of $592,296.  Our total current liabilities at December 31, 2005 included accounts payable of $343,430, accrued expenses of $43,229, accrued interest of $77,000, accrued royalties of $75,000, loans to an officer of $64,000 and a note payable to a former stockholder of Xyros Technology of $110,000.   


Our notes payable consists of the following:




23






·

A note in the principal amount of $110,000 payable to the former shareholder of Xyros Technology, Inc.  The note is due on demand with interest at 10% per annum.  As of December 31, 2004, we are in default on the note which was due in 1999.  We negotiated to repay the loan as cash flows permit and this debt remains outstanding.  We are in doubt about the intentions, will or ability of the note holder to attempt collection of this debt.  At this time, the entity is no longer in existence and we have been unable to locate the principals of that company.


·

We issued notes in the aggregate amount of $343,093 pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated December 23, 2005, with three accredited investors;  Starr Consulting, Inc., Active Stealth, LLC, and KCS Referral Service LLC (the “Subscribers”).  We agreed to sale and the Subscribers agreed to purchase convertible promissory notes and warrants.  However, on January 6, 2006, the Subscribers consented to the removal of the warrants from the subscription agreement, with the understanding that the warrants would be reinstated after we increased our authorized common stock and the shares underlying the warrants would be registered at a later date.  The Subscribers did not receive any other additional consideration for the removal of the warrants.  The Subscribers agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $500,000 of 8% promissory notes convertible into shares of our common stock at a per share conversion price of $0.10.  The notes were originally to be due and payable by December 31, 2006.  The Subscribers agreed to purchase the promissory notes over a 5 month period in $100,000 per month installment; however, the investment threshold was never achieved, so the conversion option of the notes was terminated and the loans became due on demand with interest at 8% per annum.  As of the date of this report the investors have demanded repayment of these loans. The company is taking steps to negotiate these defaults.


·

An unsecured loan from a stockholder in the aggregate amount of $39,203, which is being paid in monthly installments of $2,512, which includes interest at 10%.


·

An unsecured loan from a stockholder in the principal amount of $100,000 which was due in full on November 1, 2007 with interest at 7%.  The note is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of lender at the rate of $0.075 per share of common stock. If converted in full this amounts to 1,333,333 shares.

As of the date of this Report, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Estimates of particular significance in our financial statements include annual tests for impairment of our licenses.  These estimates could likely be materially different if events beyond our control, such as changes in government regulations that affect the usefulness of our licenses or the introduction of new technologies that compete directly with our licensed technologies affect the value of our licenses.


We first determine the value of the license using a projected cash-flow analysis to determine the present value of cash flows.  The test is done using assumptions as to various scenarios of increases and decreases in the revenue stream and applying a discount rate of 6%.  If the value achieved under these various methods is less than the carrying value of the assets then it is considered that an impairment has occurred and the asset’s carrying value is adjusted to reflect the impairment.


Management also makes estimates on the useful life of our licenses based on the following criteria:

·

Whether other assets or group of assets are related to the useful life of the licenses,

·

Whether any legal, regulatory or contractual provisions will limit the use of the assets,

·

We evaluate the cost of maintaining the license,

·

We consider the possible effects of obsolescence, and

·

Whether there is maintenance or any other costs associated with the license.


Risk Factors


You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below because they could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock. Also, you should be aware that the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yet know of, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations and financial results. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our



25






Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

In assessing these risks you should also refer to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference to this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, including our financial statements and the related notes.


We have experienced historical losses and a substantial accumulated deficit. If we are unable to reverse this trend, we will likely be forced to cease operations.


We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years and had a net loss of $1,140,452 at December 31, 2006. In addition, at December 31, 2006, View Systems, Inc. had a retained earnings deficit of $19,515,797. Our operating results for future periods will include significant expenses, including new product development expenses, potential marketing costs, professional fees and administrative expenses, and will be subject to numerous uncertainties. As a result, we are unable to predict whether we will achieve profitability in the future, or at all.


We have a working capital deficit and significant capital  requirements. Since we will continue to incur losses until we are able to generate sufficient revenues to offset our expenses, investors may be unable to sell our shares at a profit or at all.


The Company has a net loss of $1,140,452 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and net cash used in operations of $768,816 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and a working capital deficiency of $960,346 at December 31, 2006.  Because the Company has not yet achieved or acquired sufficient operating capital and given these financial results along with the Company's expected cash requirements in 2006, additional capital investment will be necessary to develop and sustain the Company's operations.


Our independent registered public accounting firm has raised doubt over our continued existence as a going concern.


We have incurred substantial operating and net losses, as well as negative operating cash flow and do not have financing commitments in place to meet expected cash requirements for the next twelve months.   


Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,140,452 and our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $2,473,934.  Our retained deficit was $19,515,797 at December 31, 2006.  We are unable to fund our day-to-day operations through revenues alone and management believes we will incur operating losses for the near future while we expand our sales channels.  While we have expanded our product line and expect to establish new sales channels, we may be unable to increase revenues to the point that we attain and are able to maintain profitability.  As a result we rely on private financing to cover cash shortfalls.


As a result, we continue to have significant working capital and stockholders' deficits including a substantial accumulated deficit at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. In recognition of such, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 that expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.




26






We need additional external capital and if we are unable to raise sufficient capital to fund our plans, we may be forced to delay or cease operations.


Based on our current growth plan we believe we may require approximately $1,200,000 in additional financing within the next twelve months to develop our sales channels.  Our success will depend upon our ability to access equity capital markets and borrow on terms that are financially advantageous to us. However, we may not be able to obtain additional funds on acceptable terms. If we fail to obtain funds on acceptable terms, then we might be forced to

delay or abandon some or all of our business plans or may not have sufficient working capital to develop products, finance acquisitions, or pursue business opportunities.  If we borrow funds, then we could be forced to use a large portion of our cash reserves, if any, to repay principal and interest on those loans.  If we issue our securities for capital, then the interests of

investors and stockholders will be diluted.


We are currently dependent on the efforts of resellers for our continued growth and must expand our sales channels to increase our revenues and further develop our business plans.


We are in the process of developing and expanding our sales channels, but we expect overall sales to remain down as we develop these sales channels. We are actively recruiting additional resellers and dealers and have hired in-house sales personnel for regional and national sales.  We must continue to find other methods of distribution to increase our sales.  If we are unsuccessful in developing sales channels we may have to abandon our business plan.


We may not be able to compete successfully in our market because we have a small market share and compete with large national and international companies.


We estimate that we have less than a 1% market share of the surveillance and weapons detection market.  We compete with many companies that have greater brand name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and managerial resources.  The position of these competitors in the market may prevent us from capturing more market share.  We intend to remain competitive by increasing our existing business through marketing efforts, selectively acquiring complementary technologies or businesses and services, increasing our efficiency, and reducing costs.


Our revenues are dependent in part upon our relationships and alliances with government and partners.


While we own exclusive licenses for the SecureScan technology, we are dependent upon the continuation of the ongoing contract between the Department of Energy for continuations and improvements to the concealed weapons detection technology.  We are also reliant upon the Department of Energy for continuations and improvements to the Visual First Responder.  If this entities should discontinue its operations or research and development we may lose our competitive edge in our market.






We must successfully introduce new or enhanced products and manage the costs associated with producing several product lines to be successful.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to continue to improve our existing products and to develop new products using the latest technology that can satisfy customer needs.  For example, our short term success will depend on the continued acceptance of the Visual First Responder and the SecureScan portal product line.  We cannot be certain that we will be successful at producing



27






multiple product lines and we may find that the cost of production of multiple product lines inhibits our ability to maintain or improve our gross profit margins.  In addition, the failure of our products to gain or maintain market acceptance or our failure to successfully manage our cost of production could adversely affect our financial condition.


Our directors and officers are able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval.

      

Currently, our directors and executive officers collectively hold approximately 6% of the voting power of our common and preferred stock entitled to vote on any matter brought to a vote of the stockholders. Specifically, Gunther Than, our CEO, holds approximately 4 % of the total voting power as of the date of this report.  Pursuant to Nevada law and our bylaws, the holders of a majority of our voting stock may authorize or take corporate action with only a notice provided to our stockholders.  A stockholder vote may not be made available to our minority stockholders, and in any event, a stockholder vote would be controlled by the majority

stockholders.  


Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with section 404 of the sarbanes-oxley act would lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information.


 Pursuant to proposals related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.


In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act within the prescribed period, we will need to engage in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which will be both costly and challenging.  In this regard, management will need to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan.


During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to

time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to

helping prevent financial fraud.



There is no significant active trading market for our shares, and if an active trading market does not develop, purchasers of our shares may be unable to sell them publicly.


There is no significant active trading market for our shares and we do not know if an active trading market will develop. An active market will not develop unless broker-dealers develop interest in trading our shares, and we may be unable to generate interest in our shares among



28






broker-dealers until we generate meaningful revenues and profits from operations. Until that time occurs, if it does at all, purchasers of our shares may be unable to sell them publicly. In

the absence of an active trading market:


   o  Investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining

       market quotations;


   o  Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and


   o  A lack of visibility for our common stock may depress the market price for

       our shares.


The success of our business depends upon the continuing  contribution of our key personnel, including mr. Gunther than, our chief executive officer, whose knowledge of our business would be difficult to replace in the event we lose his services.


Our operations are dependent on the efforts and relationships of Gunther Than and the senior management of our organization. We will likely be dependent on the senior management of our organization for the foreseeable future. If any of these individuals becomes unable to continue in their role, our business or prospects could be adversely affected. For example, the loss of Mr. Than could damage customer relations and could restrict our ability to raise additional working capital if and when needed.  There can be no assurance that Mr. Than will continue in his present capacity for any particular period of time.


Our common stock could be considered a "penny stock."


Our common stock is considered to be a "penny stock" because it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include but are not limited to, the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if quoted, has a price less

than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade it on an

unsolicited basis.


Broker-dealer requirements may affect trading and liquidity.


Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such

disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stocks." Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine,



29






 based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.


Our common stock may be volatile, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you may pay for the shares.


Because of the limited trading market expected to develop for our common stock, and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our common stock may suffer greater declines because of its price volatility.


The price of our common stock may be higher or lower than the price you may pay. Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:


   o    variations in our quarterly operating results;


   o    loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions;


   o    additions or departures of key personnel; and


   o    fluctuations in stock market price and volume.


Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the over-the-counter markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price,

regardless of our operating performance.


In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies' common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.





We have not paid, and do not intend to pay, cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business.  Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which we may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and Stockholders

View Systems, Inc.

Baltimore, Maryland


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of View Systems, Inc., and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of View Systems, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2005, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 1, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion.


We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present, in all material respects, the financial position of View Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred ongoing operating losses and does not currently have financing commitments in place to meet expected cash requirements through 2007.  This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005



1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Operations


View Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) designs and develops computer software and hardware used in conjunction with surveillance capabilities.  The technology utilizes the compression and decompression of digital inputs.  In March 2002, the Company acquired Milestone Technology, Inc., which has developed a concealed weapons detection portal.


Basis of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Milestone Technology, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Use of Estimates


Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  Management periodically reviews the open accounts and makes a determination as to the ultimate collectibility of each account.  Once it is determined that collection is in doubt the account is written off as a bad debt.  In order to provide for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s judgment and the Company’s prior experience with managing accounts receivable.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Revenue Recognition


The Company has three main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system, the visual first responder system and the Viewmaxx digital video system.  In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer.  The concealed weapons system and the digital video system each require installation and training.  The customer can engage us for installation and training, which is a revenue source separate and apart from the sale of the product.  In those cases revenue is recognized at the completion of the installation and training.  However, the customer can also self install or can engage another firm to provide installation and training.  Each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund.  Prior to the issuance of financial statements management reviews any returns subsequent to the end of the accounting period which are from sales recognized during the accounting period, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.  Product prices are fixed or determinable and products are only shipped when collectibility is reasonably assured.


Inventories


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the last-in-first-out method (LIFO).  All inventory as of December 31, 2006 consisted of finished goods.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives, using the straight-line and accelerated depreciation methods.  Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.  The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows:


Equipment

5-7 years

Software tools

3 years


Repairs and maintenance charges which do not increase the useful lives of assets are charged to operations as incurred.  Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $6,394 and $15,861, respectively.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Licenses


In connection with the acquisition on Milestone, the Company received various licenses to products developed by INEEL (Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory).  Milestone transferred the licenses to View Systems, Inc., and in November 2003, two separate licenses were signed in the name of View Systems with Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI).


BBWI is the management and operating contractor of the INEEL under its Contract No. DE-AC07-99ID13727 (“M&O Contract”) and has the authorization, right and ability to grant the license of the Agreement.  The licenses allow View Systems to commercially develop, manufacture, use, sell and distribute processes and products embodying the U.S. Patent No. 6.150.810 “Method for Detecting the Presence of a Ferromagnetic Object Using Maximum and Minimum Magnetic Field Data”, and U.S. Patent Application S/N 10/623,372, “Communication Systems, Camera Devices, and Communication Methods”.


The valuation of these licenses consist of the cost of acquiring Milestone, that is, the difference of the cost paid for the entity vs. the value of the underlying assets and liabilities which was determined to be $1,626,854.  The cost of the licenses is being amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining useful lives of the underlying patents, which at the date of the purchase was 15.5 years.  Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $104,958 and $104,958, respectively.  Consistent with SFAS No. 142, the license was also analyzed to determine if any impairment existed at December 31, 2006.  It was determined to not be impaired.


Income Taxes


Deferred income taxes are recorded under the assets and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the rate change becomes effective.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Research and Development


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Equipment and facilities acquired for research and development activities that have alternative future uses are capitalized and charged to expense over the estimated useful lives.


Advertising


Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $16,876 and $26,024.


Nonmonetary Transactions


Nonmonetary transactions are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” which requires the transfer or distribution of a nonmonetary asset or liability to be based generally, on the fair value of the asset or liability that is received or surrendered, whichever is more clearly evident.


Financial Instruments


For most financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals, management believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value, as the majority of these instruments are short-term in nature.


Net Loss Per Common Share


Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholder by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding.  Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants in addition to shares that may be issued in the event that convertible debt is exchanged for shares of common stock.  The calculation of the net loss per share available to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 does not include potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their impact would be antidilutive.  The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

2. GOING CONCERN


The Company has incurred and continues to incur, losses from operations.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred net losses of $1,140,452 and $2,473,934, respectively.  During 2006 and 2005, the Company implemented marketing and information strategies to increase public awareness of its products and thereby sales.  It also was able to reduce the per unit cost of manufacturing its products.  Additionally, the Company has increased the efficiency of its processes and focused its development efforts on products with greater sales potential.


Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily through private financing however increases in sales revenue during 2006 made a significant contribution to working capital.  It is management’s intention to finance operations during 2007 primarily through increased sales although there will still be a need for additional equity financing.  There can be no assurance, however, that this financing will be successful and the Company may be required to further reduce expenses and scale back operations.


3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting.  The Company has reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that the following new accounting standards are applicable to the Company.


In May 2005, the FASB issued statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and a replacement of FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”.  FASB 154 changes the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle.  The statement requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by new accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so.  The  statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors in fiscal years beginning  after December 15, 2005.  Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors during fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005.

3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” amending SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140.  SFAS No. 155 eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS No. 133 to securitized financial assets.  The provisions of SFAS No. 155 are to be applied to financial instruments issued or acquired during fiscal periods beginning after September 15, 2006.  The adoption of SFAS is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48) was issued in June 2006.  It clarifies recognition and derecognition criteria for tax positions taken in a return that may be subject to challenge upon audit.  If it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, the benefit is to be recognized in the financial statements.  Conversely, if the position is less likely than not to be sustained, the benefit should not be recognized.  The recognition/derecognition decision should be reflected in the first interim period when the statues change and not deferred to a future settlement upon audit.  General tax reserves to cover aggressive positions taken in filed returns are no longer allowable.  


Each issue must be judged on its own merits and a recognition/derecognition decision recorded in the financial statements.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Because the Company knowingly takes no aggressive positions in its tax returns and accordingly, carries no income tax reserves on its books, this interpretation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in future periods.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” which amends and puts in one place guidance on the use of fair value measurements which had been spread through four APB Opinions and 37 FASB standards.  No extensions of the use of fair value measurements are contained in this new pronouncement and with some special industry exceptions (such as broker-dealers), no significant changes in practice should ensue.  The standard is to be applied to financial statements beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132”.  This standard requires recognition in the balance sheet of the funded status of pension plans, rather than a footnote disclosure which has been the current practice.  Publicly traded companies are to reflect the new standard in financial statements ending after December 15, 2006, and non-public companies are to apply it in statements endings after June 15, 2007.  Because View Systems, Inc. does not maintain a defined benefit pension plan and has no intentions to do so, this standard should not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.  This standard permits the use of fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet with the net change in fair value recognized in periodic net income.  The Standard is in effect for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations because the majority of its debts are short term or due on demand so that fair value approximates recorded value.   


4.  BUSINESS COMBINATION


The Company purchased 100% of the common stock of Milestone Technology, Inc., effective March 25, 2002.  The purchase was accomplished in two transactions.  The Company acquired 6% of Milestone in December 2001 in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  In March 2002, the Company acquired the remaining 94% of Milestone for 3,300,000 share of the Company’s common stock.  Based on the market value of the Company’s common stock ($0.55 per share in December and $0.31 per share in March) the total cost of the acquisition was $1,298,000.


Milestone Technology, Inc., is a developer of concealed weapons detections systems.  Its primary product is a walk-through detector that uses advanced magnetic technology to accurately pinpoint the location, size, and numbers of concealed weapons.  Prior to its acquisition, Milestone Technology, Inc., was considered to be a development stage enterprise.

Investor/stockholder group

During 2006 the Company negotiated a loan arrangement with a group of investors to loan a specific amount to the Company which, once the total amounts loaned reached a certain amount, the loans would be converted into shares of common stock. Since the threshold was never achieved, the conversion option was terminated and the loans became due on demand with interest at 8% per annum.  As of the date of this report the investors have demanded repayment of these loans.

       34,093

 

 

Stockholder

An unsecured loan from a stockholder which is being paid in monthly installments of $2,512, which includes interest at 10%.

39,203

 

 

Stockholder

An unsecured loan from a stockholder which is due in full on November 1, 2007 with interest at 15%.  The note is convertible into shares of common stock at the option of lender at the rate of $0.075 per share of common stock. If converted in full this amounts to 1,333,333 shares.
