Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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.

Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-9, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and the related amendments (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method. Topic 606 was applied to all uncompleted contracts by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018. Due to the cumulative net impact of adopting ASC 606, the January 1, 2018 balance of accumulated deficit was increased by $51,148, primarily relating to the accelerated recognition of revenue on installation projects.
Under Topic 606, revenue is measured based on consideration specified in the contract with a customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Topic 606. Revenue from all customers is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or service to a customer. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in revenue.
The Company has three main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system, the visual first responder system and the Viewmaxx digital video system. The concealed weapons detection system and the digital video system each require installation and training. The customer can engage us for installation and training, which is a separate performance obligation and apart from the sale of the product. Each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund. Customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty.
During 2018 and 2019, the Company did not sell it’s products or installation and training, but rather only fulfilled extended warranties on its’ existing installed units. Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for one year period that begins after any other warranties expire. Under the new guidance, there is no change in our revenue recognition for extended warranty as compared to revenue recognition for these transactions under the prior revenue recognition standards. The Company recognizes revenue from extended warranty ratably over the warranty period.
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 periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $0 and $200, respectively.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded under the assets and liabilities 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 carry forwards. 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.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions, and in various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010. The Company policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it takes and expects to take on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising costs for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $25 and $0, respectively.
Nonmonetary Transactions
Nonmonetary transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 845 “ 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation at fair value. Share-based compensation cost for stock options granted to employees, board members and service providers is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model that uses level 3 unobservable inputs. The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

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 periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 does not include potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their impact would be antidilutive.

2. GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred and continues to incur, losses from operations. For periods ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $198,915, respectively. In addition, certain notes payable have come due and the note holders are demanding payment.
Management is very actively working to cure these situations. It has implemented major plans to for the future growth and development of the Company. Management is in the process of renegotiating more favorable repayment terms on the notes payable and the Company anticipates that these negotiations will result in extended payment plans.
Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily through private financing. It is management’s intention to finance operations during the remainder of 2018 primarily through increased sales although there will still be a need for additional equity financing. In addition, management is actively seeking out mergers and acquisitions which would be beneficial to the future growth of the Company. 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.
As described in Note 4, the Company is currently in default on a $50,000 loan from a stockholder.
The consolidated financial statements presented above and the accompanying Notes have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and does not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of any extraordinary regulatory action, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
Due to the conditions and events discussed above, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for leases, which supersedes previous lease guidance. Under this guidance, for all leases with terms in excess of one year, including operating leases, the Company will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria is substantially similar to previous guidance. Additionally, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company implemented this standard effective January 1, 2019. Implementation of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT
The Company has notes payable with elements that qualify as a derivative instrument. The note payables had a variable conversion feature that similarly prevented the calculation of the number of shares into which they were convertible. The note bear interest at 12% and are convertible at variable prices based upon discounts of 42% to 50% of the lowest trading price during the previous 15 to 25 days ending on the last trading day prior to notice These variable conversion feature requires bifurcation from the convertible debenture and measurement at fair value.
The derivative liability, as it relates to the instrument, is shown in the following table:
Beginning balance, January 1, 2019 | $ | 244,004 | ||
Additional issuance | - | |||
Exercised/converted | - | |||
Reclassification to equity | - | |||
Change in value of derivative liability | 25,295 | |||
Fair value, March 31, 2019 | $ | 269,299 |
All of the convertible notes were analyzed at the time of their issuance for derivative accounting consideration. In some instances, the Company concluded that a derivative liability existed. The derivative liabilities were measured using the commitment-date stock price. As of June 30, 2019, the Company determined that the fair value of these derivative liabilities totaled $269,299
The value of the derivative liabilities was determined using the following Black-Scholes methodology:
Expected dividend yield (1) 0.00% | For the Years Ended | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate (2) 2.0% | December 31, 2017 |
December 31, 2016 |
||||||
Expected volatility (3) 246% | ||||||||
Expected life (in years) 0.75 | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
(1) | The Company has no history or expectation of paying cash dividends on its common stock. |
(2) | The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the promissory notes in effect at the time of issuance. |
(3) | The volatility of the Company’s common stock is based on trading activity for the previous contractual term ended at each promissory note issuance date. |
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company converted, upon receiving formal notices from its noteholders, $8,011 in note principal, plus accrued interest totaling $8,254, into common stock.
The Company has adopted the guidance under ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured on a fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. Further authoritative accounting guidance (ASU No. 2009-05) under ASC Topic 820, provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update.

VIEW SYSTEMS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of input, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Input other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the over- all fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair value of free-standing derivative instruments such as warrant, and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes modes.
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair value were determined by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2019 as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Overview
View Systems, Inc. has developed, produced and marketed 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.
We expanded our product line in 2002 to include a concealed weapons detection system we call View Scan and consequently sold about 500 units Domestically and Internationally.
Our strategy for 2019 is 1: to patent an enhanced and more complex Weapons Detection Portal. 2: Create a subsidiary that contains all security related technologies, patents, and expertise to further capitalize in the security market with superior products 3: utilize the current View Systems public structure to initially manage and promote Medicinal Cannabis related products as a supplier of the raw materials. The company will divide its operations into manufacturing and promoting security devices internationally in one subsidiary and become an importer of raw materials used in the Cannabis market space for medical purposes in another subsidiary operation.
We have announced that we have acquired a company called Sannabis that grows and ships Cannabis grown for medical and industrial purposes. The Board of Directors will be John Campo as President and Chairman, Juan Pablo Guzman as Director and Chief Operations Officer of Sannabis Operations. We have filled an 8K the effect on July 31, 2019. Dr. Martin Maassen has resigned from the Board.
Products and Services
Our current products and services include:
ViewScan Concealed Weapons Detection System
ViewScan, which has also been sold under the name “Secure Scan”, is a walk-through concealed weapons detector which uses magnetic data sensing technology to accurately pinpoint the location, size and number of concealed weapons. This walk-through portal is controlled by a master processing board and a personal computer based unit which receives magnetic and video information and combines it in a manner that allows the suspected locations of the concealed weapon(s) to be displayed and stored electronically.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussions are based on our consolidated financial statements, including our subsidiaries. These charts and discussions summarize our financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, included with our most recent Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2018.
Our net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was ($127,286) compared to a net income of $1,054,384 during the three month period ended June 30, 2018 (an decrease in net loss of $1,181,670). We generated net revenues of $700 during the three month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to $775 during the three month period ended June 30, 2018 (a decrease in net revenue of $75).

We have experienced a decrease in sales of our services and products which resulted in a decrease of revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2018. We believe the decreased revenue is the result of licensing the technology of the current ViewScan to IPVideo a substantial security technology provider to manufacture and distribute the current ViewScan product. We also continue service our remaining install base of security products and we continue to receive purchase orders for the View Scan which we direct to IPVideo to quote, sell and service.

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years and had a net loss of $198,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our revenues from service and product sales have been insufficient to cover our operating expenses. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern. We have continued to push warranty sales, service contracts and control costs but the large overwhelming marketing budgets of our competitors in spite of our superior technology has diminished our ability to compete.
Our Board of Directors has decided to broaden our perspective and add additional business related or unrelated to the current security product market. The BoD has investigated multiple markets. The Board, since selling its sub; Medical Therapeutics, has decided to separate the operation into one focusing on further security product development and one open to financial opportunities which can capitalize on current trends rapidly.
Going Concern
If the market price of our common stock falls below the fixed price of our registered stock offering, as in prior years we may again have insufficient financing commitments in place to meet our expected cash requirements for 2019. 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 2019, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern. Footnote 2 to our financial statements provides additional explanation of Management’s views on our status as a going concern. The audited financial statements contained in this Annual Report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of assets or the amounts of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our independent registered accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their reports on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Our total current liabilities decreased to $994,410 at June 30, 2019 compared to $953,885 at fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, our short and long term notes payable consist of the following:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer, installed (if necessary) and accepted by the customer as a completed sale. Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for one year period that begins after any other warranties expire. The revenue from warranties is recognized on a straight line bases over the period covered by the warranty. 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 collectability is reasonably assured.

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.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019. 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 our internal controls. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of March 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
