ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

     View  Systems,  Inc.  (the  "Registrant")  disputes the claim of beneficial
ownership by Rubin  Investment  Group  ("Rubin").  In its Schedule 13D filing on
July 12, 2001,  Rubin claimed  beneficial  ownership of 2,235,000 shares that it
may acquire upon the exercise of certain warrants.  The warrants were originally
issued by the  Registrant in  consideration  of Rubin's  undertaking  to perform
certain  services  for  the  Registrant.   Rubin  failed  to  perform,   causing
substantial  harm to the Registrant,  and, as a result,  on January 9, 2001, the
Registrant notified Rubin that it cancelled the warrants.

     Rubin also  misrepresented  the  percentage of Registrant  stock covered by
warrants.  Rubin's Schedule 13D stated that the warrant shares represented 19.2%
of the Registrant's common stock based on 9,054,120 outstanding shares. In fact,
the  Registrant  reported  in its  latest  publicly  filed  document  14,871,620
outstanding  shares  at the time of  filing  of the  Schedule  13D,  so that the
warrant  shares would  actually  represent  only 13.0%,  if the warrants were in
effect.

     The Registrant has instructed its transfer agent not to issue any shares of
common stock upon any attempted exercise of any portion of the warrants.

     The  Registrant  has also notified the SEC of Rubin's errant filing and has
requested the SEC to take appropriate action.
