View Systems, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2010


GENERAL

View Systems, Inc. (the Company) has elected to omit substantially all footnotes to the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 since there have been no material changes (other than indicated in other footnotes) to the information previously reported by the Company in its Annual Report filed on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 UNAUDITED INFORMATION

The information furnished herein was taken from the books and records of the Company without audit.  However, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to properly reflect the results of the interim period presented.  The information presented is not necessarily indicative of the results from operations expected for the full fiscal year.



9



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RE-AUDIT OF 2008 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


We have re-audited our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s concerns that our principal accountant was not independent at the time that the audit of our 2008 financial statements was conducted.  The re-audited financial statements are included in Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2010.


EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW


The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report.


Overview


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.


Our current product lines are related to visual surveillance, intrusion detection and physical security.  We introduced a new product that we call the MINI (Mobile Intelligent Network Informer).  We have received multiple inquires about the need for such a device during 2008 and have invested engineering resources to create a working device.  In the fall of 2009 we discovered a device in China that fit our specifications closely so we decided to enter the market with that device instead of continuing to spend our own engineering dollars. We commenced Internet sales efforts of the MINI as a distributor in February 2010.  


During 2009, the Company secured significant international sales opportunities in China and the Middle East through our respective local agents.   We anticipate further and substantial growth in the sale of ViewScans and our complimentary security technologies in 2010 as a result of the positive feedback we received. We will continue to work closely with our overseas agents to assist them in securing new orders. In addition we will seek new agents for as yet untapped markets for ViewScan and our range of security technologies.


 On November 24, 2008 and December 26, 2008, we announced that a merger with Wytan Corp. was underway.  We also announced that additional conditions to the merger closing were required by Wytan and that the merger would not occur until such time as the conditions were satisfied.  Attempts to merge ceased in November 2009 and this proposed transaction was terminated. Wytan then demanded payment for its costs incurred in connection with this attempted merger.  In February 2010 we agreed to pay $20,000 in installments, and we completed the final payment in April 2010.


On August 13, 2009 we announced the formation of a strategic technology partnership with Super Nova Resources designed to facilitate sales of Visisys Holdings, Plc.’s VisoVue personal identity recognition system.  The Company has no estimate of the impact that such a partnership may have on its revenues at this time.  The project is terminated because Super Nova Resources is defunct.


We have been approached by certain entities that would make use of our public structure and/or our net tax loss carry-forward of approximately $21,800,978.   However, it is our intention to continue to execute our current business plan until such time, if ever, that we conclude that an acquisition or merger will lead to greater value for our principals and shareholders. We have not entered into definite agreements or decisions about any business combination opportunities.  However, we continue to explore potential merger and acquisition options.


Our strategy for 2010 will be to extend our sales and service provision. To increase sales we offer demonstrations of our products to potential customers in specific geographical areas and at region - specific trade shows, such as sheriff’s conventions, court administrators’ meetings, civil support team, state police and dealer 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.   


In the short term, management plans to raise funds 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 will be to raise additional funds through common stock offerings to provide working capital to finance several acquisitions and the integration of new technologies and businesses. We anticipate registering in the second quarter of 2010 sufficient shares of our common stock to raise at least $2,000,000.00. We also intend to continue to strengthen our balance sheet by paying off debt either through exchange of equity for cancellation of debt obligations or the payment of debt obligations with cash.   


As of March 2010, all of our outstanding equity compensation and equity incentive plans had expired by their terms.


Our current principal products and services include:


1. ViewScan Concealed Weapons Detection System


ViewScan, which is also sold under the name “Secure Scan”, is a walk-through concealed weapons detector which uses 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 location of the weapon to be stored electronically and referenced.  Because ViewScan does not produce a graphic anatomical display of a scanned person, the Company does not believe that ViewScan is susceptible to privacy concerns raised about certain personnel scanners produced by other companies.


ViewScan products are distributed in three basic configurations; stand-alone units, portable units and integrated door systems.    


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.


ViewScan is designed to overcome the traditional shortcomings of electromagnetic induction scanners.   The ViewScan 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 ViewScan system operates faster than ordinary metal detectors and can scan as high as 1,200 persons per hour.  Since the ViewScan technology does not use transmitters to produce electromagnetic induction, it does not pose a problem for pacemakers.   The ViewScan self calibrates and does not need operator intervention or special calibration tools.


In 2004 we introduced the ViewScan product to the venue and stadium market.   In February 2005 we tested the ViewScan 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 ViewScan 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.


In February 2006 we demonstrated a ViewScan product with a precision optical biometric fingerprint terminal.   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.


Today we sell these units for an average retail price of approximately $9,000 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 have been making additional cost reductions through economies of scale and larger scale integration by taking advantage of ongoing computer component improvements.


2. Visual First Responder and Multi-Mission Mobil Video


In December 2003 View Systems obtained exclusive licensing and marketing rights for the HAZMAT CAM technology from the U.S. Department of Energy's INEL.  We marketed the HAZMAT CAM under the name “Visual First Responder.”  Visual First Responder was a lightweight, wireless camera system housed in a tough, waterproof flashlight body.  The camera system was designed to transmit real-time images to a computer or video monitor at a location outside the exclusion zone or containment area.  Now in its third generation, we now license the manufacture of our proprietary unit, the Multi-Mission Mobil Video (MMV).   The MMV is a lightweight, wireless camera system housed in a tough, waterproof 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.   The MMV is able to transmit high quality video in the most difficult environments.   The image is received from the MMV and displayed on a 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.


The MMV also uses an Extension Link which is a separate transmitter and receiving system that increases the operating range of the MMV.   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 MMV is 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 $9,000 retail, but the cost can be as high as $18,500 depending on additional special features such as the extension link and encryption capabilities.


This new product allows hands-free operation of the unit because it allows the person to wear the unit with a helmet mounted monocle.

3. 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 32 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 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 game 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.

4. Additional Applications and Integration of ViewScan and ViewMaxx


We also offer integration of other products with ViewScan 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 ViewScan and/or ViewMaxx to limit individual access to an area.   ViewScan and/or 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 ViewScan or ViewMaxx products.


5.   The MINI


The MINI (Mobile Intelligent Network Informer) is a portable, wireless watchdog communication device that checks for intrusion into uninhabited areas such as foreclosed houses, storage spaces and vacation homes.  The MINI senses motion and sends text messages to a user's cell phone. Property and remote assets may be guarded by this innovative device that requires no plug-in electricity, no physical phone line and no monitoring service. The MINI runs on batteries and one configuration of the system can even send a photo of the intruder to the user's cell phone.   Camera settings can be controlled and changed via SMS commands.

We license the MINI from its manufacturer and act as a distributor.   The Company established a dedicated e-commerce platform for the direct sale of this innovative product, which went online in February 2010.  As of February 2010, we are marketing the MINI to large potential users, such as real property managers, as well as to retail customers through the www.minicamsim.com website.


6. Network Services


View Systems Inc. Network Services group supplies integrated electronic security and control systems for commercial and industrial applications throughout the Mid Atlantic area.


The Network Services group specializes in the installation of complex electronic control systems which typically include access control, parking and vehicular control, closed circuit television surveillance, audio intercommunication, and proprietary alarm monitoring systems in commercial and multi-tenant residential applications. The Network Service's true specialty is the integration of two or more of these subsystems into one complete and easy to operate package with all subsystems being highly integrated and easy to manage.   


The installation of fiber optic backbones is a primary focus of Network Services.  Since March 2009 we have been a subcontractor of MasTec North America, Inc. for the installation of fiber optic cable networks.  Using a credit line provided by Lafayette Commercial Bank, in 2009 we spent more than $200,000 to purchase tools and equipment to enhance our fiber optic installation capability. The Company secured six security / surveillance installation projects at residential complexes and commercial and government locations in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.  Payment (less a 10% holdback) for our services is expected at 45 days after completion of each project.


We will continue to work with MasTec North America, Inc. on the installation of fiber cable infrastructure, as well as seek video surveillance and access control system design, installation, maintenance and support contracts in our geographical areas of proximity and strength.


7. FiberXpress, Inc.


On July 24, 2009 we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire FiberXpress, Inc., a company that sells specialist data network related products through its Internet web site.  The transaction closed on September 15, 2009. The FiberXpress acquisition has not resulted in meaningful sales, and we are looking for suitable options.

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.   



15



We have experienced a slight increase in sales of our products which resulted in a slight increase in revenues for the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.  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 March 31, 2010 was $210,000 up from December 31, 2009, which was $215,000.  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. 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 weeks or 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 an installation site, and delays caused by other contractors on the project.  We have a back log because we do not hold unsold units in inventory.


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


Inflation has not been a significant factor in either our price points nor in the cost of products sold.  The sales cycles are long and cross budget and annual review boundaries.  The approval for purchase process is affected by both federal funds being available and state decisions interacting with local needs and review of safety and homeland security committees comprised of sheriffs, police, fire and SWAT teams.  We have not found elasticity in price affecting decision for purchase or approval.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We had insufficient funds to deliver our backlog in the last half of 2009.  Our revenues from several product sales have been increasing and some others decreasing but are not sufficient to cover all of 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, we received cash from revenues of $263,991, repaid $21,200 on lines of credit, repaid $2,359 on notes payable, and repaid $3,000 of stockholder loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we received cash from revenues of $111,362, $196,765 under a line of credit, $60,890 in loans from shareholders, and paid down $1,547 on notes payable. 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 three months ended March 31, 2010, was $458,305, as compared with a net loss of $481,922 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our net loss was offset by adjustments which resulted in $6,938 net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared with $182,726 net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $259, as compared with $57,599 net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009, both of which derived exclusively from purchases of equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our net cash was decreased by financing activities by $26,559, as compared with $256,108 net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had a net decrease in cash of $19,880, resulting in $50,924 cash on hand, as



16



compared with a net increase in cash of $15,783, resulting in $17,551 cash on hand for the three months ended March 31, 2009.


Management believes we will need to take the necessary steps to file a registration of common stock to fund growth and acquisitions during 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 re-audited our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s concerns that our principal accountant was not independent at the time that the audit of our 2008 financial statements was conducted.  The re-audited financial statements are included in Form 10-K/A to the 2008 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2010.


Management intends to finance our 2010 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 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 $2,000,000 during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $100,000 per month for operations and to facilitate our business plan.  


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 2010 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 2010, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations.


Commitments and Contingent Liabilities


The Company leased office and warehouse space in Baltimore, Maryland under a six-month non-cancelable operating lease, which expired February 2010.  Base rent is $3,300 per month. We continue to lease this property on a month to month basis.


Our total current liabilities increased to $1,700,222 at March 31, 2010, compared to $1,694,445 at March 31, 2009.  Our current total liabilities at March 31, 2010 included accounts payable of $509,119, accrued expenses of $90,792 accrued interest of $108,382, accrued royalties of $225,000, loans from shareholders of $190,028, notes payable (short term) of $516,648, and deferred revenue of $60,253.


As of March 31, 2010, our short and long term 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 sell 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 $181,000 in cash payments from the sale of stock received.  The amount currently outstanding is approximately $162,093.



17



This debt was settled in principal terms subsequent to the reporting period with the Company’s agreement to issue 4,500,000 shares of Company common stock.  The stock has not been issued pending negotiation of additional terms of the proposed settlement.

·

We issued unsecured convertible loans from two stockholders in the principal amount of $216,000.

The first loan of $100,000 was due in full on November 1, 2007 with interest at 7%.  In August 2009, the Holder sued the Company to enforce the note, and in January 2010 the Holder agreed to accept 3,500,000 common shares in payment of principal and interest on the note and litigation related fees, costs, and post-judgment interest. The total due under this loan at the date of settlement was $163,366.27. Should the holder not realize $163,366.27 from the sale of 3,500,000 shares, then he will be granted additional shares to resolve any shortfall, provided his sales have been in good faith.

The holder of the second note of $116,000 has been receiving interest payments irregularly in the form of cash and common stock.  The amount currently outstanding is $119,480.

·

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 $178,800.  Interest is payable monthly at 7% per annum and the loan is due during 2010.  The line of credit was used to purchase inventory and equipment for our fiber optics business.

·

We have two vehicles financed in 2009 through Chase Auto Finance in the principal amounts of $22,087, and $25,052 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 are in default of a September 18, 2009 demand loan payable to an investor which was due December 17, 2009 in the amount of $50,000.  Interest has accrued at 5% per month since December 17, 2009.

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.


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




18



· 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.


Changes in Authorized Capital Stock and Terms of Preferred Stock


Effective March 29, 2010, we increased our authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 950,000,000 shares.  We also authorized conversion rights to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a ratio of 15:1.  In addition to certain technical corrections, we also renumbered our Articles of Incorporation.  A complete copy of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3(i).1 to this quarterly report.  A summary of the significant amendments to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is as follows:

Section 6, which authorizes the Board of Directors to determine the adequacy of the consideration given for the issuance of capital stock, stock rights, or options, provides that the Board of Directors’ judgment in this regard shall be conclusive, in the absence of fraud, and provides that the Articles shall not be amended in this particular.


Increase in Authorized Common Shares


Each of the newly authorized shares of Common Stock has the same rights and privileges as previously authorized Common Stock. The new shares, like the previously authorized shares, do not have preemptive rights. The Amendment did not change the par value of the Common Stock.


The Company's Board of Directors and majority shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of outstanding Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, to 950,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value.  The purpose of the amendment was to enable sufficient authorized, but unissued, Common Stock for future financing purposes.


Prior to the Record Date, the Company had authorized 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, of which 89,647 Series A Shares are outstanding.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock had voting rights equal to fifteen (15) shares of Common Stock, a ratio of 15:1, which in the aggregate amounted to voting rights of 150,000,000 Common Shares, which exceeded the authorized amount of Common Shares and rights to vote Common Shares by 50,000,000.  


While the change to the Series A Preferred Stock did not affect the total number of shares of authorized Series A Preferred stock, the change enabled all of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted into an aggregate of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at a Conversion Ratio of 15:1.  The conversion ratio is not subject to change.  The change also allowed the Series A Preferred Stock to be re-issuable; whereas previously any Series A Preferred Shares that were cancelled could not be reissued.  




20



The additional 850,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized may be utilized for public and private issuances of Common Stock or other securities convertible into Common Stock in connection with financing transactions, acquisitions or other corporate transactions, as well as stock dividends, warrants, stock option plans and other stock-based incentive or compensation programs. The availability of additional shares of Common Stock for issuance, without delay and expense of obtaining stockholder approval, will afford the Company greater flexibility in acting upon opportunities and transactions which may arise in the future.

 

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's stockholders depending on the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares. The increase could deter takeovers, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Company is not aware of any efforts to accumulate the Company’s securities and to obtain control of the Company and has no present intention or agreement requiring the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock other than as described herein, and other than as provided in the Company’s equity incentive and compensation plans. The Company has no present intention of soliciting a stockholder vote on any proposal, or series of proposals, to deter takeovers. In addition, an issuance of additional shares by the Company could have an effect on the potential realizable value of a stockholder's investment. In the absence of a proportionate increase in the Company's earnings and book value, a future increase in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Company caused by the issuance of the additional shares would dilute the earnings per share and book value per share of all outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. If such factors were reflected in the price per share of Common Stock, the potential realizable value of a stockholder's investment could be adversely affected. The Board, within the limitations and restrictions contained in the Amended Articles of Incorporation and without further action by the Company's holders of Common Stock, has the authority to issue Common Stock from time to time. This proposal does not affect any rights, privileges, powers or preferences of any of the Company’s common stockholders.


No dissenting stockholder will have a right of appraisal or right to receive payment for his stock by reason of such dissent.



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.




21



In assessing these risks you should also refer to the information contained in or incorporated by reference to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, including our financial statements and the related notes thereto.


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 $ 1,560,012 for 2009 and had a net loss of $458,305 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition, at March 31, 2010, the Company had a retained deficit of $22,782,739.  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 $158,305 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and net cash used in operations of $6,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 was $458,305 and our net loss for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 was $481,922. Our retained deficit was $22,782,739 at March 31, 2010. 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 March 31, 2010. 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008 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 $2,000,000 in additional financing within the next twelve months for operations and 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.




22



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 46.1% 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.  Including the effects of Gunther Than’s, our CEO’s, voting preferred stock, our directors and officers have the power to vote approximately 46.8% of common shares (based on the assumed effects of conversion of all of Mr. Than’s 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.


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.



23




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.




24



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.




25



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.


ITEM 3. QUANTI TATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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 March 31, 2010. 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.


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 first quarter of 2010. 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 first quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Whether or not a sinking fund or a purchase fund shall be provided for the redemption or purchase of the shares of such series, and, if such a sinking fund or purchase fund shall be provided, the terms and conditions thereof.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this subsection D, each holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right at such holder’s option, at any time, prior to the close of business on the tenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption of such shares pursuant to subsection H hereof, to convert all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock.

Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 15 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “ Conversion Rate ”).

 

(ii)

Mechanics of Optional Conversion. The holder of any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right specified in this subsection D.1. by surrendering to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, accompanied by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert all or a specified portion of the shares represented thereby.

2.

Required Conversion . At any time immediately prior to the Corporation transferring all or substantially all of its assets or merging with or into another entity, the Corporation may, at its option, cause all of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to convert into Common Stock on the terms set forth in subsection D.1 hereof by delivering notice of such conversion to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon delivery to the Corporation of certificates representing such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Corporation shall request that each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock deliver the stock certificates representing such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for a stock certificate representing the Common Stock receivable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, but if the stock certificate representing the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not returned to the Corporation, it shall thereafter represent only the Common Stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted.

 

E.

Corporate Change .  In the event of a merger, reorganization, recapitalization or similar event of, or with respect to, the Corporation (a "Corporate Change") (other than a Corporate Change in which the Corporation is the surviving entity or in which all of substantially all of the consideration received by the holders of the Corporation's capital stock upon such Corporate Change consists of cash or assets other than securities issued by the acquiring entity or any affiliate thereof), this Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be assumed by the acquiring entity.

 

F.

Voting Rights .  The Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have 15 votes for every share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held and shall be entitled to vote on any and all matters brought to a vote of shareholders of Common Stock.  Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which they would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Corporation's Bylaws and applicable statutes.  

 

G.

Protective Provisions .  So long as shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by voting or written consent, as provided by Nevada law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

1.

alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

H.

Redemption of Stock .

 

1.

Redemption Price .  For each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which is to be redeemed, the Corporation will be obligated on the Redemption Date (as defined below) to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation's principal office or to the Corporation's transfer agent of the certificates representing such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Liquidation Value plus all accrued dividends as of the Redemption Date.

 

2.

Notice of Redemption .  The Corporation will mail written notice of each redemption of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to each record holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock not more than sixty (60) nor less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made.  The date specified in such notice for redemption is herein referred to as the "Redemption Date."

 

3.

Termination of Rights .  On the Redemption Date all rights pertaining to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to any right of conversion, will cease, and such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be outstanding.  All certificates representing the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock subject to redemption will represent only the right to receive payment in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph H.

 

4.

Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares .  Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall not be canceled, may be reissued as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or such other series as the Board of Directors may determine, and, unless a determination by the Board of Directors has been made as to said shares’ status, shall be returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock without designation as to series.

 

I.

Preference Rights .  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the Board of Directors of the Corporation from issuing one or more series of preferred stock with such preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion.

SECTION 6

Adequacy of Consideration .  The capital stock, stock rights, or options shall be issued for such consideration as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.  In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the Directors as to the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of capital stock, stock rights, or options and the sufficiency thereof shall be conclusive. When capital stock, stock rights, or options are issued upon payment of the consideration fixed by the Board of Directors, such securities shall be deemed fully paid and shall be non-assessable.  The Articles shall not be amended in this particular.

6.8.1  Termination for Cause.  An Option may not be exercised in the event a Participant’s Termination of Service is for cause.


6.8.2

Termination Due To Disability, or Retirement. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, an Option may not be exercised more than one (1) year after a Participant’s Termination of Service due to Disability, or Retirement.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.


6.8.4

Termination For Other Reasons.  Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement, an Option may not be exercised more than ninety (90) days after a Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than described in Section 6.8.2 or 6.8.3.

7.3

Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.


7.4

Other Restrictions.  The Board may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate in accordance with this Section 7.4.


7.4.1

“THE SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, WHETHER VOLUNTARY, INVOLUNTARY, OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY’S EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN, AND IN A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT.  A COPY OF THIS PLAN AND SUCH RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”


7.5

Removal of Restrictions.  Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under this Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.  The Board may accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse and remove any restrictions.   After the end of the applicable Period of Restriction, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends under Section 7.4.2 removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be freely transferable by the Participant.

SECTION 8

PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES


8.1

Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.


8.2

Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.


8.3

Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service Providers. The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the “Performance Period.” Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.


8.4

Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.


8.5

Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof.


8.6

Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.


SECTION 9

LEAVES OF ABSENCE/TRANSFER BETWEEN LOCATIONS


Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months following the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option.



A-12





SECTION 10

TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS


10.1

General. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.


10.2

Award Transfer Program. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Administrator shall have all discretion and authority to determine and implement the terms and conditions of any Award Transfer Program instituted pursuant to this Section 10 and shall have the authority to amend the terms of any Award participating, or otherwise eligible to participate in, the Award Transfer Program, including (but not limited to) the authority to (i) amend (including to extend) the expiration date, post-termination exercise period and/or forfeiture conditions of any such Award, (ii) amend or remove any provisions of the Award relating to the Award holder’s continued service to the Company, (iii) amend the permissible payment methods with respect to the exercise or purchase of any such Award, (iv) amend the adjustments to be implemented in the event of changes in the capitalization and other similar events with respect to such Award, and (v) make such other changes to the terms of such Award as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion.


SECTION 11

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION; DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION; MERGER OR CHANGE IN CONTROL


11.1

Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which has been authorized for issuance under the Plan, including Shares as to which no Award have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award and including the annual increase provided for in Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award and/or the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award.


11.2

Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.


11.3

Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that each Award be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. The Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.


In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and



A-13




all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.


For the purposes of this subsection, an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or upon the payout of a Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.


Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.


11.4

Outside Director Awards. With respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following such assumption or substitution the Participant’s status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant (unless such resignation is at the request of the acquirer), then the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Options as to all of the Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Units and Performance Shares, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.


SECTION 12

TAX WITHHOLDING


12.1

Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).


12.2

Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part (without limitation), by (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (c) delivering to the Company Shares then owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount that the Board agrees may be withheld at the time any such election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.



A-14





SECTION 13

MISCELLANEOUS


13.1

Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date adopted by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section 14 of the Plan.


13.2

No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Stock Award Agreement or other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.


13.3

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.


13.4

Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Stock Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of a Stock Award to any Participant shall be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Stock Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant.


13.5

Stockholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has exercised the Stock Award pursuant to its terms and the Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of record until the issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to such exercise has been entered into the books and records of the Company.


13.6

Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (x) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (y) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.


13.7

Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet.


13.8

Deferrals. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with Section 409A of



A-15




the Code, the Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still an employee. The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Stock Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the Participant’s termination of employment or retirement, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law.


13.9

Compliance with Section 409A. To the extent that the Board determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences described in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the Effective Date.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

OF

VIEW SYSTEMS, INC.

(A Nevada Corporation)


This INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (“Option Agreement”) is entered into as of ____________, 2010 (the “Grant Date”), by and between View Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and ___________________ (the “Participant”).

The Company and Participant agree as follows:


1.

Grant of Option. Participant is hereby granted an Incentive Stock Option, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (the “Option”), to purchase Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the View Systems, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option and this Option Agreement are subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect. Any terms which are used in this Option Agreement without being defined and which are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan. This Option may only be granted to persons who are Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Grant Date.


2.

Date of Grant. The date of the grant of the Option is the date set forth above, the date of the action by the Board of Directors or its Committee which administers the Plan (the “Board”) in granting the same.  


3.

  Number and Price of Shares. The Option entitles the Participant to purchase _________ shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Option Shares”), at a price of $______ per share (the “Option Price”).   The exercise price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.


4.

Exercise of Option .


(a)

Vesting .  25 percent (25%) of the Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares) shall vest on first anniversary of the Grant Date; and the remaining Option Shares shall vest ratably (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares), as of the last day of each calendar month, over the next 36-month period.


(b)

After an Option is granted, the Board may accelerate the exercisability of the Option. If the Board provides that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Board may determine.


(c)

In all events, vesting under this Section shall cease upon termination of Participant’s service with the Company for any reason.  Termination of Service as defined in the Plan means (a) in the case of an Employee, a cessation of the employee-employer relationship between an employee and the Company for any reason, and (b) in the case of a Director or Consultant, a cessation of service as a member of the Board for any reason; but excluding in all cases any such cessation where there is a simultaneous reengagement of individual by the Company.  


(d)

Time of Exercise .  No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all class of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.


If the Participant does not pertain to the provision 4(d) above, then the Participant may exercise the right to purchase vested Option Shares at any time, in whole or in part, on or before the earlier of:


(i)

Twelve (12) months following the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability; or




A-19




(ii)

Ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death or Disability; or


(iii)

The tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Grant Date.


In the event the Participant fails to exercise his right to acquire vested Option Shares within the foregoing timeframe, all rights of the Participant with respect to such Option Shares shall terminate.


(e)

Change of Control .  Notwithstanding any provision in this Option Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not accelerate vesting with respect to the Participant’s outstanding Option Shares.


5.

Notice of Exercise .  The Participant, or the person or persons having the right to exercise the Option upon the death or Disability of the Participant, shall exercise the Option by delivering to the Company written notice specifying the number of Option Shares which the Participant elects to purchase, together with either (i) cash, (ii) cancellation of any indebtedness owed by the Company to the Participant, or (iii) any combination of the above, the sum of which equals the total price to be paid upon the exercise of the Option, and the common stock purchased shall thereupon be promptly delivered.  The Participant will not be deemed to be a holder of any shares, pursuant to the exercise of the Option, until the date of issuance to the Participant of a stock certificate, for such shares, and until the shares are paid in full.


6.

Limited Transferability of Option . This Option may not be transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, except that the Board may permit a transfer, upon the Participant’s death, to beneficiaries designated by the Participant as provided in Sections 13.14 and 6.8.3 of the Plan. The Board may also permit a limited transfer due to disability, or retirement as provided in Section 6.8.2 of the Plan.


7.

Forfeiture of Option and Option Proceeds . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Option Agreement, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for Cause (as defined below), then the following events of “Forfeiture” shall occur:


(a)

The Participant’s unexercised Options, irrespective of whether or not exercisable or vested, shall immediately terminate; and


(b)

The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or any portion of the Option Shares previously issued to the Participant for cash in an amount equal to Option Price paid by the Participant with respect to such shares, without interest.  The Company may exercise its right under this subparagraph by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than one year after the event giving rise to such Forfeiture, with such notice including the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the purchase price of such Option Shares.


For the purposes of this Option Agreement, Termination of Service for “Cause” shall occur if the Board reasonably and in good faith determines that the Participant (i) has committed a significant act of dishonesty, deceit or breach of duty in the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company or a Subsidiary, including but not limited to, fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, failure of the Participant to follow the directions of the Board or the officers and supervisors of the Company, or any willful or negligent misconduct; (ii) is convicted of, or files a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere to any felony, misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or crime or offense involving dishonesty with respect to the Company; or (iii) has failed to comply with the covenants contained in the Plan or any other restrictive covenants that may apply with respect to the Participant.


This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Option Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Participant agrees that any breach of this Section 7 will result in substantial and irrevocable damage to the Company and therefore, in the event of



A-20




any such breach, in addition to the consequences set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7 and such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief.


8.

Notices .  Any notice required or permitted under this Option Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Participant or the Company.


9.

Withholding of Taxes .  As a condition to the issuance of the Option Shares, the Participant shall (a) remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (b) instruct the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable law from any compensation payable to the Participant the taxes required to be held by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (c) make other arrangements acceptable to the Board in its discretion. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion withhold a portion of the Option Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Option in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements, or it may in its sole and absolute discretion permit Participant to tender Option Shares previously acquired in order to satisfy such requirements.  The determination of the amount of any such withholding and the satisfaction of this condition shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.


10.

Disposition of Option Shares .  As a condition of issuing the Option Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant may not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares issued pursuant to this Option Agreement other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, may be exercised only by the Participant.


11.

Restrictions on Transfer and Right of First Refusal .  In the event that the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or a portion of such Option Shares for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than 3 months after such termination (or if later, one year after the last date that any outstanding Option awarded under this Option Agreement may be exercised by the Participant following such termination), such notice to include the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares.


12.

Adjustment of Option Shares . In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, or other change affecting the corporate structure of the Company’s Shares, the Board shall adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the numerical limits of Sections 4.1, 6.1, and 7.1 of the Plan in such a manner as the Board shall determine to be advisable or appropriate to prevent the dilution or diminution of such Awards.


13.

Legend on Stock Certificates .  All stock certificates representing shares of common stock issued to the Participant upon exercise of this Option shall have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form, in addition to any other legends required by the Company or applicable state law:


“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH STOCK IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.  THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS ENFORCED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S 2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.”




A-21




14.

Employee Benefits . Participant agrees that the grant and vesting of the Option and the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option will constitute special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or other remuneration plan of the Company.


15.

No Employment Contract.  Participant understands and agrees that this Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Participant's part to continue to work for the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), or of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to continue to employ the Participant, if applicable.


16.

Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver .  The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Option Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.


17.

Receipt and Incorporation of Plan .  By entering into this Option Agreement, Participant acknowledges (i) that he or she has received and read a copy of the Plan, (ii) that this Option Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect, and (iii) that the Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Option and this Option Agreement are subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time in the discretion of the Board.


18.

Governing Law . The terms of this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Nevada.


19.

Amendment . Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may modify, extend or renew the Option, or accept the surrender of the Option to the extent not theretofore exercised and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefore, except that no such action shall diminish or impair the rights under the Option without the consent of the Participant.


20.

Interpretation . The interpretations and constructions of any provision of and determinations on any question arising under the Plan or this Option Agreement in good faith shall be made by the Board, and all such interpretations, constructions and determinations shall be final and conclusive as to all parties.


21.

Miscellaneous .

If any provision of this Option Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Option Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the parties hereto. All notices or other communications which are required to be given or may be given to either party pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the parties as set forth following the signature of such party.

In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the Plan shall prevail.


1.        Restricted Stock . The Board shall determine the number of Shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to each Participant; provided, however, no Participant shall receive more than 100,000 Shares of Restricted Stock during any Fiscal Year.


2.

Vesting Schedule and Conversion of SAs . Subject to the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan and provided that Participant continues to serve as an Employee or Consultant of the Company throughout the vesting periods set out below, the SAs shall vest and be converted into an equivalent number of Shares that will be distributed to the Participant as follows, provided that fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number or paid in cash at the discretion of the Company:

Payment of Award . Subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement, the Performance Award shall be paid as soon as practicable after the Administrator determines, in its discretion after the end of the Performance Period, whether and to what extent the performance goals have been achieved in accordance with the terms set forth in the Certificate. After the Performance Award becomes payable pursuant to Section 3, 4 or 5 hereof, and following payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall promptly cause the Award to be issued to you or your legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs, as the case may be.

OF

VIEW SYSTEMS, INC.

(A Nevada Corporation)


This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT is entered into as of ____________, 2010 (the “Grant Date”), by and between View Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and ___________________ (the “Participant”).

The Company and Participant agree as follows:


1.

Grant of Option. Participant is hereby granted a Nonqualified Stock Option (“the Option”), to purchase Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the VIEW SYSTEMS, INC. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. This Option and this Option Agreement are subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect. Any terms which are used in this Option Agreement without being defined and which are defined in the Plan shall have the meaning specified in the Plan.


2.

Date of Grant. The date of the grant of the Option is the date set forth above, the date of the action by the Board of Directors or its Committee which administers the Plan (the “Board”) in granting the same.  


3.

  Number and Price of Shares. The Option entitles the Participant to purchase _________ shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Option Shares”), at a price of $______ per share (the “Option Price”). The exercise price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.


4.

Exercise of Option .

(a)

Vesting .  25 percent (25%) of the Option Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares) shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; and the remaining Option Shares shall vest ratably (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares), as of the last day of each calendar month, over the next 36-month period.


(b)

After an Option is granted, the Board may accelerate the exercisability of the Option. If the Board provides that any Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Board may determine.


(c)

In all events, vesting under this Section shall cease upon termination of Participant’s service with the Company for any reason.  Termination of Service as defined in the Plan means (a) in the case of an Employee, a cessation of the employee-employer relationship between an employee and the Company for any reason, and (b) in the case of a Director or Consultant, a cessation of service as a member of the Board for any reason; but excluding in all cases any such cessation where there is a simultaneous reengagement of individual by the Company.  


(d)

Time of Exercise .  The Participant may exercise the right to purchase vested Option Shares at any time, in whole or in part, on or before the earlier of:


(i)

Twelve (12) months following the Participant’s Termination of Service due to death or Disability; or

(ii)

Ninety (90) days following the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death or Disability; or

(iii)

The tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Grant Date.



A-30





In the event the Participant fails to exercise his right to acquire vested Option Shares within the foregoing timeframe, all rights of the Participant with respect to such Option Shares shall terminate.


(e)

Change of Control .  Notwithstanding any provision in this Option Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not accelerate vesting with respect to the Participant’s outstanding Option Shares.


5.

Notice of Exercise .  The Participant, or the person or persons having the right to exercise the Option upon the death or Disability of the Participant, shall exercise the Option by delivering to the Company written notice specifying the number of Option Shares which the Participant elects to purchase, together with either (i) cash, (ii) cancellation of any indebtedness owed by the Company to the Participant, or (iii) any combination of the above, the sum of which equals the total price to be paid upon the exercise of the Option, and the common stock purchased shall thereupon be promptly delivered.  The Participant will not be deemed to be a holder of any shares, pursuant to the exercise of the Option, until the date of issuance to the Participant of a stock certificate, for such shares, and until the shares are paid in full.


6.

Limited Transferability of Option . This Option may not be transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, except that the Board may permit a transfer, upon the Participant’s death, to beneficiaries designated by the Participant as provided in Sections 13.14 and 6.8.3 of the Plan. The Board may also permit a limited transfer due to disability, or retirement as provided in Section 6.8.2 of the Plan.


7.

Forfeiture of Option and Option Proceeds . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Option Agreement, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for Cause (as defined below), then the following events of “Forfeiture” shall occur:


(a)

The Participant’s unexercised Options, irrespective of whether or not exercisable or vested, shall immediately terminate; and


(b)

The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or any portion of the Option Shares previously issued to the Participant for cash in an amount equal to Option Price paid by the Participant with respect to such shares, without interest.  The Company may exercise its right under this subparagraph by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than one year after the event giving rise to such Forfeiture, with such notice including the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the purchase price of such Option Shares.


Termination of Service for “Cause” shall occur if the Board of Directors reasonably and in good faith determines that the Participant (i) has committed a significant act of dishonesty, deceit or breach of duty in the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Company or a Subsidiary, including but not limited to, fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, failure of the Participant to follow the directions of the Board of Directors or the officers and supervisors of the Company, or any willful or negligent misconduct; (ii) is convicted of, or files a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere to any felony, misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or crime or offense involving dishonesty with respect to the Company; or (iii) has failed to comply with the covenants contained in the Plan or any other restrictive covenants that may apply with respect to the Participant..


This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Option Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Participant to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Participant agrees that any breach of this Section 7 will result in substantial and irrevocable damage to the



A-31




Company and therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to the consequences set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7 and such other remedies which may be available, the Company shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief.


8.

Notices .  Any notice required or permitted under this Option Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Participant or the Company.


9.

Withholding of Taxes .  As a condition to the issuance of the Option Shares, the Participant shall (a) remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (b) instruct the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable law from any compensation payable to the Participant the taxes required to be held by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (c) make other arrangements acceptable to the Board of Directors in its discretion. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion withhold a portion of the Option Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Participant upon exercise of the Option in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements, or it may in its sole and absolute discretion permit Participant to tender Option Shares previously acquired in order to satisfy such requirements.  The determination of the amount of any such withholding and the satisfaction of this condition shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.


10.

Disposition of Option Shares .  As a condition of issuing the Option Shares hereunder, the Participant agrees that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant may not sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Option Shares issued pursuant to this Option Agreement other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.


11.

Restrictions on Transfer .  In the event that the Participant incurs a Termination of Service for any reason, the Company shall have the right to acquire from the Participant all or a portion of such Option Shares for cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares by giving written notice thereof to the Participant not more than 3 months after such termination (or if later, one year after the last date that any outstanding Option awarded under this Option Agreement may be exercised by the Participant following such termination), such notice to include the number of Option Shares to be acquired by the Company, the closing date of such acquisition (which shall not be more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice), and the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares.


12.

Adjustment of Option Shares . In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock split, stock dividend, or other change affecting the corporate structure of the Company’s Shares, the Board shall adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the numerical limits of Sections 4.1, 6.1, and 7.1 of the Plan in such a manner as the Board shall determine to be advisable or appropriate to prevent the dilution or diminution of such Awards.


13.

Legend on Stock Certificates .  All stock certificates representing shares of common stock issued to the Participant upon exercise of this Option shall have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form, in addition to any other legends required by the Company or applicable state law:


“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH STOCK IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL

SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.  THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO OTHER RESTRICTIONS ENFORCED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S 2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN.”


14.

Employee Benefits . Participant agrees that the grant and vesting of the Option and the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option will constitute special incentive compensation that will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or other remuneration plan of the Company.


15.

No Employment Contract.  Participant understands and agrees that this Agreement is not an employment contract and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the Participant's part to continue to work for the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), or of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to continue to employ the Participant, if applicable.


16.

Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver .  The failure of the Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Option Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.


17.

Receipt and Incorporation of Plan .  By entering into this Option Agreement, Participant acknowledges (i) that he or she has received and read a copy of the Plan, (ii) that this Option Agreement is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, as now or hereinafter in effect, and (iii) that the Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Option and this Option Agreement are subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time in the discretion of the Board.


18.

Governing Law . The terms of this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Nevada.


19.

Amendment . Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may modify, extend or renew the Option, or accept the surrender of the Option to the extent not theretofore exercised and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefore, except that no such action shall diminish or impair the rights under the Option without the consent of the Participant.

(c)  It is the Company’s sole discretion at the time your option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal , pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.



A-36





(e)  You may exercise the vested portion of your option (and the unvested portion of your option if your Grant Notice so permits) during its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

                      (i) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than your Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such twelve (12) month period your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in Section 5, your option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service;


                     (ii) twelve (12) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability;

Change in Control.


(a) In the event of (i) a Corporate Transaction, or (ii) any Exchange Act Person becoming the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities, then your option shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of such transaction) become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effectiveness of such transaction, and your option shall terminate if not exercised at or prior to such time.


(b) Except as otherwise provided in a written agreement between you and the Company, if any payment or benefit you would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“ Payment ”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “ Excise Tax ”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless you elect in writing a different order (provided,



A-37




however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of Stock Awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of Stock Award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of your Stock Awards (i.e., earliest granted Stock Award cancelled last) unless you elect in writing a different order for cancellation.


(c) The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.


(d) The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish you and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon you and the Company.


6.

Limited Transferability of Option . This Option may not be transferred, gifted, bequeathed, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, voluntarily or involuntarily, except that the Board may permit a transfer, upon the Participant’s death, to beneficiaries designated by the Participant as provided in Sections 13.14 and 6.8.3 of the Plan. The Board may also permit a limited transfer due to disability, or retirement as provided in Section 6.8.2 of the Plan.


7.

Securities Law Compliance.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.


8.

Option Not a Service Contract.  Your option is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.


9.

Withholding of Taxes .  As a condition to the issuance of the Option Shares, the Participant shall (a) remit to the Company at the time of any exercise of the Option any taxes required to be withheld by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (b) instruct the Company to withhold in accordance with applicable law from any compensation payable to the Participant the taxes required to be held by the Company under federal, state or local laws as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (c) make other arrangements acceptable to the Board in its discretion.

A-38




Option in order to satisfy tax withholding requirements, or it may in its sole and absolute discretion permit Participant to tender Option Shares previously acquired in order to satisfy such requirements.  The determination of the amount of any such withholding and the satisfaction of this condition shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.

1.

I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of the registrant for the quarter ended March 31, 2010;


 

 

 

 

2.

Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report;


 

 

 

 

3.

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the period presented in this quarterly report;


 

 

 

 

4.

I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f)) for the registrant and have:


 

 

 

 

a.

designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is prepared;


 

 

 

 

b.

designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, 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;


 

 

 

 

c.

evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report based on such evaluation; and


 

 

 

 

d.

disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and


 

 

 

 

5.

I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):


 

 

 

 

a.

all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and


 

 

 

 

b.

any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
