BALTIMORE, May 13, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VYST), a cutting edge homeland defense solutions provider, highlights the growing sales of the VFR and Secure Scan product lines realized during the first quarter.
In the quarter, View Systems continued to recognize increased sales and awareness of both the Secure Scan Concealed Weapons Detection Portal and the Visual First Responder HAZMAT Cam. These divisions have attracted predominate industry distributors and resellers which are fueling the company's continuing sales.
In the period, View announced sales of the VFR to the Illinois Civil Support team and two separate orders to the United States Army, totaling seven units. Aramsco, a large safety equipment distributor, initiated its first order and launched a marketing campaign featuring the VFR in the company's 2005 sales catalog. Additional exposure was generated by a documentary on the Lifetime Network that featured the Hazmat Cam being used by actual first responders.
The Secure Scan Portal also received great exposure with its performance at NFL sponsored events during Super Bowl week, a Homeland Security presentation in Florida and a featured article in Law Enforcement Magazine. Accutech announced a sale to The Security Exchange Commission, and is focusing on marketing the units to similar facilities.
"The company has taken the momentum generated in the fourth quarter and turned it into increased sales," stated CEO of View Systems Gunther Than. "We realized the largest single VFR order was through the United States Army, who we believe will be a long-term customer of these wireless first-responder video systems. We also generated invaluable exposure in the sports and entertainment market and have since tested our Secure Scan at several venues, including Jacksonville, a sector that is currently untapped and very diverse. We see this growth trend continuing in the second quarter and the foreseen future."
