VIEW SYSTEMS INC - Quarter Report: 2009 September (Form 10-Q)

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

View Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries

Unaudited Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements

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.   

We have experienced a decrease in sales of our products which resulted in continuing decreased revenues for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008.  We believe the cause of that is the domestic and worldwide down turn of the economy although we received verbal indications of increased need from our international customers such as Pakistan, UAE and China.  Those orders have been stalled and or cancelled; we suspect at this time that they have been canceled.  We have had inquiries for quotes from India and indications of additional purchases by the United Arab Emirates.  Management anticipates that revenues will resume as the general economic situation in the world improves.   

Our backlog at September 30, 2009 was $463,000 up from June 30, 2009, which was $160,000.  We received cancelations for orders and indications that these orders would be re-established when the economic climate improves. 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.

The decrease of margins from quarter to quarter was primarily the result of increased costs and due to a decrease in volume of units shipped. Management realizes that the relative margins of each product line will increase with

12

higher volume and decrease with lower volume.  For 2009, our attention been focused on future fiber (FIOS) data installation work.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Annually our revenues from product sales have been decreasing and are not sufficient to cover our operating expenses.  Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern.  We are continuing to push sales and control costs. Historically, we have relied on revenues, debt financing and sales of our common stock to satisfy our cash requirements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received cash from revenues of $256,436, $252,018 from borrowings under a line of credit, $0 from issuance of equity, and $18,390 from stockholder loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received cash from revenues of $953,776, $0 from issuance of equity and $298,299 from stockholder loans. We will also continue to rely on the issuance of our common stock to pay for services and to debt when cash is unavailable. Management anticipates that we will continue to issue shares for services in the short term.

Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $1,035,129, as compared with a net loss of $92,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our net loss was offset by adjustments which resulted in $230,393 net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with $66,452 net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $38,652, which was derived exclusively from purchases of equipment, as compared with $0 net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had $270,408 net cash provided by financing activities, as compared with $67,701 net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had a net increase in cash of $1,363, resulting in $3,131 cash on hand, as compared with a net decrease in cash of $1,249, resulting in $5,952 cash on hand for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Management believes we will need to take the necessary steps to increase our authorized common stock during 2009 or early 2010.  Our ability to take this action will depend on our ability to pay for legal, accounting, and auditing services in conjunction with a notice to shareholders.  We have also informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that we will undertake to re-audit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of its concerns that our principal accountant was not independent at the time that the audit of our 2008 financial statements was conducted.

Management intends to finance our 2009 operations primarily with the revenue from product sales and any cash short falls will be addressed through equity or debt financing, if available.  Management expects revenues will continue to decrease.  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 $1,200,000 during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $100,000 per month for operations.  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 2009 and 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 2009, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations.

We are actively pursuing alternative strategies to merge with suitable entities that are interested in our products, customer base and market penetration and can provide operating capital while utilizing our tax credits.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company leased office and warehouse space in Baltimore, MD under a three-year non-cancelable operating lease, which expired October 2008.  Base rent is $3,300 per month.  We are leasing this property on a month to month basis.  

Our total current liabilities increased to $1,680,729 at September 30, 2009, compared to $1,591,021 at September 30, 2008.  Our current total liabilities at September 30, 2009 included accounts payable of $433,469, accrued expenses of $44,796 accrued interest of $175,401, accrued royalties of 281,250, loans from shareholders of $154,528 and notes payable of $591,285.

13

Our notes payable consist of the following:

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 installments; 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 has taken steps to negotiate these defaults.  In November of 2008 the holders agreed to accept shares of common stock as payment.  The holders of these notes have received $181,00 in cash payments from the sale of stock received.  The amount currently outstanding is approximately $162,093.

We issued unsecured convertible loans from two stockholders in the principal amount of $216,000.   $100,000 of the loans was due in full on November 1, 2007 with interest at 7%.  The holder of this note has demanded payment of $137,150.68 in cash and has chosen not to convert to equity.  The holder of the second note of $116,000 has been receiving interest payments irregularly.  The amount currently outstanding is $136,880.

We have two vehicles financed in 2009 through Chase Auto Finance in the principal amounts of $24,788 and $26,545, respectively.  Combined payments are $1,003 per month which includes interest at 5.34%.  The loans are for 60 months with the final payments due in July 2014. 

We have a line of credit arranged for and secured by our Director Dr. Bagnoli in the amount of $200,000 of which the outstanding balance is $198,566.  Interest is payable monthly at 7% per annum and the loan is due during 2009.  The line of credit was used to purchase inventory and equipment for our fiber optics business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Critical Accounting Policies

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.

14

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, including Going Concern Opinion

You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified 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 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 information contained in or incorporated by reference to our most recently amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, 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 which consists of a net loss of $173,539 for 2008 and had a net loss of $1,035,129 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. 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 $1,035,129 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and net cash used in operations of $230,393 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. 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 2009, 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 quarter ending September 30, 2009 was $140,557 and our net income for the quarter ending September 30, 2008 was $134,913. Our retained deficit was $21,799,551 at September 30, 2009. 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.

15

As a result, we continue to have significant working capital and stockholders’ deficits including a substantial accumulated deficit at September 30, 2009. 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 that expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

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 ViewScan portal product line.  We cannot be certain that we will be successful at producing 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 42.1% of the voting power of our common and 100% of the preferred stock entitled to vote on any matter brought to a vote of the stockholders. Specifically, Gunther Than, our CEO, holds approximately 8.6% of the total voting power of our common stock and 100% of the voting power of our preferred stock 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.  

16

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-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, 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 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:

·

Investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations;

·

Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and

·

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 IS CONSIDERED TO BE "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.

17

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, 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:

·

variations in our quarterly operating results;

·

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

·

additions or departures of key personnel; and

·

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.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2009. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

View Systems, Inc.’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting for the Company. View Systems, Inc.’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting of the Company includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairy reflect the transactions of the company.

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error or circumvention through collusion of improper overriding of controls. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

The management of View Systems, Inc. assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSD) in Internal-Control-Integrated Framework and implemented a process to monitor and assess both the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.

19

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of 2009. In connection with such evaluation, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred since the beginning of the Company’s third quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
