PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

In this report, unless the context requires otherwise, references to the "Company", "View Systems", "we", "us" and "our" are to View Systems, Inc.

CORPORATE HISTORY

View Systems was incorporated in Florida on January 25, 1989, as Beneficial Investment Group, Inc. and became active in September 1998 when we began development of our digital video product line and changed the company's name to View Systems, Inc. Starting in 1999 we expanded our business operations through a series of acquisitions of technologies we use in our digital video recorder technology products and in our concealed weapons technology.

On July 25, 2003, View Systems incorporated View Systems, Inc. as a wholly owned Nevada corporation for the sole purpose of changing the domicile of the company from Florida to Nevada. On July 31, 2003, articles of merger were filed with the states of Florida and Nevada to complete the domicile change.  In 2016 we domiciled to Colorado.

OUR BUSINESS

View Systems, Inc. develops, produces and markets computer software and hardware systems for security and surveillance applications. In 1998 digital video recorder technology was our first developed product and we enhanced this product line by developing interfaces with other various technologies, such as facial recognition, access control cards and control devices such as magnetic locks, alarms and other common security devices.

We expanded our product line in 2002 to include a concealed weapons detection system we call ViewScan. We have penetrated four major market segments for this product: correctional facilities, judicial facilities, probation offices and federal facilities in the Mid-Atlantic States, the West Coast and the South. In 2003 we added a hazardous material first response wireless video transmitting system to our product line we refer to as Visual First Responder. The markets for these units are first responder units for agencies such as the National Guard, Coast Guard, Army, state law enforcement agencies, and fire departments. Both of these technologies were licensed from the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Engineering Laboratory ("INEL"). Until 2005 we assembled all of our products in-house, but we currently contract with third party manufacturers to manufacture some components of our products.

4

Historically, we have relied upon exclusive technology licensing agreements with federal departments to license and distribute the ViewScan technology. In anticipation of the expiration of federal licenses, we developed propriety components and made sufficient engineering design changes to the ViewScan product to lower production costs and to accommodate the price points required by competitive pressures. By redesigning the ViewScan, we offset the impact of the expiration of our license agreements and continued to capitalize on the competitive advantage we had in the markets we had entered.

Letter of Intent

In January 14, 2016 we entered into an agreement to acquire a company called YM Advantage, Inc. After considerable study the Board of Directors of View Systems decided that the acquisition was not in the best interests of the company.  The experience and data gathered about the market that YM Advantage was attempting to be in led us to believe that the erectile dysfunction (ED) market was very profitable.  Our board of directors has two doctors who investigated the ED market broadly. They determined it could be highly profitable to own a clinic that offered products to the ED market. We embarked on an effort that is establishing one clinic to test their suppositions. If successful, the company would then embark on a path that would establish multiple ED clinics.

On May 18, 2016 we filed an 8K dissolving our agreement to acquire YM Advantage.

Our plan is to maintain our current course of security business and simultaneously add this new additional ED business to our line of products.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We currently have one main product, namely the concealed weapons detection system. We no longer manufacture the "first responder" system for competition reasons.   Our current principal products and services include:

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.  Today we no longer sell these units except for special orders paid in advance for an average retail price of approximately $9,500 with a one year extended warranty.

OUR REMAINING MARKET

A primary market for our ViewScan portal has been federal and state government courthouses, county and municipal buildings, and correctional facilities. We have installed our ViewScan weapons detection products in a variety of courthouse, federal government and correctional facility situations including the Security and Exchange Commission.  Today we do service and service contracts.

 MANUFACTURING

We no longer manufacture the View Scan product except for larger quantities which are specially ordered.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

Even though we get the occasional new order, we no longer solicit sales of View Scans but instead capitalize on the demand for parts and service. Until we a have our new and improved model in production we will service, fix and repair field operating units.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS

New Jersey, Maryland and about 20 other states plus a variety of international concerns IE: Bangladesh

COMPETITION

The markets for our products are extremely competitive. Competitors include a broad range of companies that develop and market products for the identification and video surveillance markets. In the weapons detection market, we compete with Ranger Security Scanners, Inc. and Garrett Electronics, Inc. in the United States, and an Italian company, CEIA SpA, which has the most sophisticated electromagnetic induction product.  CIEA apparently believes we have good ideas as they have copied various methods and enhancements from our products.

TRADEMARK, LICENSES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Certain features of our products and documentation are proprietary, and we rely on a combination of patent, contract, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and other measures to protect our proprietary information. We limit access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation and other proprietary information. As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and mutual non-disclosure agreements with our manufacturing representatives, dealers and systems integrators. Notwithstanding such actions, a court considering these provisions may determine not to enforce such provisions or only partially enforce such provisions.

The ViewScan concealed weapons detection technology involves sensing technology and data acquisition/analysis software subsystems that have patents pending or issued to the U.S. Department of Energy. We have not renewed our license, with the INEL to commercialize, manufacture and market the concealed weapons detection technology. View Systems has not filed for patents and has found that the expense and difficulty of patenting this product would be financially prohibitive.

Governmental ownership of the patents is advantageous to us; however, the costs have outweighed the benefits. We have not received improvements, the promised funding or active support from our government licensors. We have, however, paid money and spent time to advance the technologies.

Because the software and firmware (software imbedded in hardware) are in a state of continuous development, we have not filed applications to register the copyrights for these items. However, under law, copyright vests upon creation of our software and firmware. Registration is not a prerequisite for the acquisition of copyright rights. We take steps to insure that notices are placed on these items to indicate that they are copyright protected. The copyright protection for our software extends for the 20-year statutory period from the date of first "publication," distribution of copies to the general public, or from the date of creation, whichever occurs first.

We have also obtained licenses for certain software from third parties for incorporation into our products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We outsource improvements or changes when requested by customers and warranted financially.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

We are not subject to government approval or regulation in the manufacture of our products or the components in our products. However, our products are subject to certain government restrictions on sales to "unfriendly" countries and countries designated as adversarial, which may limit our sales to the international market. In addition, our resellers and end users may be subject to numerous regulations that stem from surveillance activities. We also benefit from the recent "made in America" trade laws where non-United States manufactures must secure waivers in order to sell security and surveillance products to United States domestic end-users.

Cost and effect of compliance with environmental laws

The Company has not determined any recognizable cost related to compliance with environmental laws.

6

EMPLOYEES

As of the date of this Annual Report, we approximately four persons, including two customer service engineers and two office personnel, which includes a doctor. Two persons are part-time and we also contract with two independent contractors who devote a majority of their work to a variety of our projects. Our employees are not presently covered by any collective bargaining agreement. Our relations with our employees are good, and we have not experienced any work stoppages by our employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below because they could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Also, you should be aware that the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yet know of, or that we currently believe are immaterial, may also impair our business operations and financial results. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

In assessing these risks you should also refer to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our financial statements and the related notes.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HISTORICAL LOSSES AND A SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REVERSE THIS TREND, WE WILL LIKELY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.

We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years, which consist of a net loss of $$418,799 for 2015 and a net loss of $190,619 for 2016. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $29,367,990 at December 31, 2015 as compared with $29,558,609 at December 31, 2016. Further, we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital will be required for future periods for: (i) new product development expenses; (ii) potential marketing costs and professional fees; or (iii) we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative expenses or offering costs. As a result, we are unable to predict whether we will achieve profitability in the future, or at all.

The uncertainty and factors described throughout this section may impede our ability to economically develop, produce, and market our products effectively. As a result, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future.

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.

We had a net loss of $190,619 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and net cash used in operations of $17,933 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Because we have not yet achieved or acquired sufficient operating capital and given these financial results along with our expected cash requirements in 2016, additional capital investment will be necessary to develop and sustain our operations.

7

OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS RAISED DOUBT OVER OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

The independent registered public accounting firm's report accompanying our December 31, 2015 and 2016 audited financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared "assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern." Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or eventually have positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders will be materially and adversely affected

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 year ended December 31, 2016 was $190,619 and our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $418,799. Our accumulated deficit was $29,558,609 at December 31, 2016. 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. We have had to 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 December 31, 2016. In recognition of such, our independent registered public accounting firms have included an explanatory paragraph in their respective reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2016 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 $350,000 in additional financing within the next twelve months to develop our sales channels. Furthermore, if the cost of our development, production and marketing programs are greater than anticipated, we may have to seek additional funds through public or private share offerings or arrangements with corporate partners. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise these required funds, or on terms satisfactory to us. Our success will depend upon our ability to access equity capital markets and borrow on terms that are financially advantageous to us. However, we may not be able to obtain additional funds on acceptable terms. If we fail to obtain funds on acceptable terms, then we might be forced to delay or abandon some or all of our business plans or may not have sufficient working capital to develop products, finance acquisitions, or pursue business opportunities. If we borrow funds, then we could be forced to use a large portion of our cash reserves, if any, to repay principal and interest on those loans. If we issue our securities for capital, then the interests of investors and stockholders will be diluted. We are attempting to raise at least $600,000 through an offering of securities.

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. OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY MAY DEPEND UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF OUR MARKETING EXPENDITURES IN RECRUITING NEW CUSTOMERS.

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.

8

Moreover, our future growth and profitability will depend in large part upon the effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing expenditures, including our ability to: (i) create greater awareness of our ViewScan products and brand name; (ii) identify the most effective and efficient level of spending in each market, media and specific media vehicle; (iii) determine the appropriate message and media mix for advertising, marketing and promotional expenditures; (iv) effectively manage marketing costs, including creative and media expense in order to generate and maintain acceptable costs; (v) generate leads for sales, including obtaining lists of businesses in a cost-effective manner; and (vi) drive traffic to our website.

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. WE OPERATE IN A MARKET WHICH IS SUBJECT TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL AND OTHER CHANGES AND INCREASING COMPETITION COULD LEAD TO PRICING PRESSURES, REDUCED OPERATING MARGINS, LOSS OF MARKET SHARE AND INCREASED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.

Our future success depends on our ability to continue to improve our existing products. For example, our short-term success will depend on the continued acceptance of 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.

The markets for our ViewScan product is highly competitive and we expect increased competition in the future that could adversely affect our revenue and market share. Larger established companies with high brand recognition may develop products and services that are competitive with our core products and services. These competitors may be able to devote greater resources than us to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services and respond more quickly than we can to new technologies or changes. We may not be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources or more established customer bases, which may materially adversely affect our sales and our business.

PROTECTION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS LIMITED AND ANY MISUSE OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BY OTHERS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS, REPUTATION AND COMPETITIVE POSITION.

Our trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, trade dress and designs are valuable and integral to our success and competitive position. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately protect our proprietary rights through reliance on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and technical measures from outside influences.

Protection of trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in the markets in which we operate and compete is highly uncertain and may involve complex legal questions. We cannot completely prevent the unauthorized use or infringement of our intellectual property rights, as such prevention is inherently difficult.

9

We also expect that the more successful we are, the more likely that competitors will try to illegally use our proprietary information and develop products that are similar to ours, which may infringe on our proprietary rights. In addition, we could potentially lose future trade secret protection for our source code if any unauthorized disclosure of such code occurs. The loss of future trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our products by copying functionality. Any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, the trade secret and other intellectual property laws in any country in which we operate may compromise our ability to enforce our trade secret and intellectual property rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our confidential information and trade secret protection. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights or if third parties independently develop or gain access to our or similar technologies, our business, service revenue, reputation and competitive position could be materially adversely affected.

THE CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-DISCLOSURE AND OTHER AGREEMENTS WE USE TO PROTECT OUR PRODUCTS, TRADE SECRETS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION MAY PROVE UNENFORCEABLE OR INADEQUATE.

We protect our products, trade secrets and proprietary information, in part, by requiring all of our employees and consultants to enter into agreements providing for the maintenance of confidentiality. We also enter into non-disclosure agreements with our technical consultants to protect our confidential and proprietary information. We cannot assure you that our confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other third parties will not be breached, that we will be able to effectively enforce these agreements, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets and other proprietary information will not be disclosed or will otherwise be protected.

WE HAVE NOT REGISTERED COPYRIGHTS FOR OUR VIEWSCAN PRODUCTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO ENFORCE THEM.

We have not registered our copyrights in all of our materials, website information, designs or other copyrightable works. The United States Copyright Act automatically protects all of our copyrightable works, but without registration we cannot enforce those copyrights against infringers or seek certain statutory remedies for any such infringement. Preventing others from copying our products, written materials and other copyrightable works is important to our overall success in the marketplace. In the event we decide to enforce any of our copyrights against infringers, we will first be required to register the relevant copyrights, and we cannot be sure that all of the material for which we seek copyright registration would be registrable in whole or in part, or that once registered, we would be successful in bringing a copyright claim against any such infringers.

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.

We are dependent on the services of Gunther Than, our Chief Executive Officer, and a member of our Board and our other executive officers and members of our senior management team. 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. Other than non-compete provisions of limited duration included in employment agreements that we may or will have with certain executives, we do not generally seek non-compete agreements with key personnel, and they may leave and subsequently compete against us. The loss of service of any of our senior management team, particularly those who are not party to employment agreements with us, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

10

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE SKILLED EMPLOYEES NEEDED TO SUSTAIN AND GROW OUR BUSINESS.

Our success to date has largely depended on, and will continue to depend on, the skills, efforts and motivations of our executive team and employees, who generally have significant experience with our Company. Our success also depends largely on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified presons. We may experience difficulties in locating and hiring qualified personnel and in retaining such personnel once hired, which may materially and adversely affect our business.

OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS ARE ABLE TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER MATTERS REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have 326,705,526 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 5,589,647 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Currently, our directors and executive officers collectively hold approximately 19% of the voting power of our common and 91% 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 Chief Executive Officer's voting preferred stock, our directors and officers have the power to vote approximately 32.22% of common shares (based on the assumed effects of conversion of all of Mr. Than's preferred stock) as of the date of this Annual Report. Pursuant to Colorado 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.

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY BE SUBJECT TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

Some of our officers and directors serve only part time and can become subject to conflicts of interest. Some devote part of their working time to other business endeavors, including consulting relationships with other entities, and have responsibilities to these other entities. Such conflicts include deciding how much time to devote to our affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to us. Because of these relationships, our officers and directors could be subject to conflicts of interest. Currently, we have no policy in place to address such conflicts of interest.

COLORADO LAW AND OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION MAY PROTECT OUR DIRECTORS FROM CERTAIN TYPES OF LAWSUITS.

Nevada law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

FAILURE TO 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 Amendment No. 2 to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we have been 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.

11

To maintain compliance with Section 404 of the Act, we engage in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging and requires management to dedicate scarce internal resources and to retain outside consultants.

During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time for securities disclosure reporting deadlines. In addition, if we fail to 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

Moreover, the market price for our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and revisions to our expected results; (ii) changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts; (iii) conditions in the market for our products; (iv) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies specializing in the defense industries; (v) announcements by us or our competitors of new services, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; (vi) addition or departure of key personnel; (vii) litigation related to any intellectual property; and (viii) sales or perceived potential sales of our shares.

In addition, the securities market has from time to time, and to an even greater degree since the last quarter of 2007, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares.  Furthermore, in the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company's securities, shareholders have frequently instituted securities class action litigation against that company. Litigation of this kind could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources.

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.

12

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. If a trading market for our common stock develops, our common stock will probably become subject to the penny stock rules, and shareholders may have difficulty in selling their shares.

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 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 market price of our common stock may be higher or lower than the price you may pay for your shares. 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.

13

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the over-the-counter markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies' common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.

WE HAVE NOT PAID, AND DO NOT INTEND TO PAY, CASH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Dividend payments in the future may also be limited by other loan agreements or covenants contained in other securities which we may issue. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital and legal requirements and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK RELYING UPON RULE 144 MAY DEPRESS PRICES IN THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK BY A MATERIAL AMOUNT.

As of the date of this Annual Report, all of our common stock held by non-affiliates that was issued before December 31, 2015 and was either issued in a registered offer for sale or exchange or has been issued and outstanding beyond applicable holding periods imposed by Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Thus, with 100% of our common stock issued prior to December 31, 2013 to non-affiliates being freely tradeable, there is a significant risk that sales under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to registration of shares of Common Stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our common stock in the over-the-counter market, especially in situations where a large volume of shares is offered for sale at the same time.

Securities saleable pursuant to the Rule 144 exemption from registration may only be resold, however, if all of the requirements of Rule 144 have been met, including, but not limited to, the requirement that the issuer of the securities have made available all required public information. However, there is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate (i.e., a stockholder who has not been an officer, director or control person for at least 90 consecutive days) after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of at least six months and the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. Presently shares of restricted Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the Company may be sold, subject to compliance with Rule 144, six months after issuance, provided that our Exchange Act registration remains in effect and we are current in our disclosure reporting obligations.

(2)	Represents shares reserved for the Company's 2010 Service Provider Stock Compensation Plan.

2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan ("EIP") is intended to attract, motivate, and retain employees of the Company, consultants who provide significant services to the Company, and members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company. The EIP is designed to further the growth and financial success of the Company by aligning the interests of the participants, through the ownership of stock and through other incentives, with the interests of the Company's stockholders.

Benefits under the 2010 EIP. As defined under the 2010 EIP, the Board may grant any one or a combination of Incentive Stock Options (within meaning of the Code), Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, as well as Performance Awards (collectively, "Awards").

Administration of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The EIP will be administered by the Board of Directors. If it chooses, the Board may delegate its authority to a Compensation Committee to be appointed by the Board (the "Committee"), which Committee may be comprised of two or more "outside directors" as described in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Subject to certain limitations in the 2010 EIP, the Board establishes the terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2010 EIP, interprets the 2010 EIP and all awards under the 2010 EIP, and administers the 2010 EIP.

Eligible Participants under the 2010 EIP. Except for Incentive Stock Options which may only be granted to Employees of the Company, Awards under the 2010 EIP may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants of the Company (as such terms are defined in the 2010 EIP) who are designated by the Board. No employee may receive Awards under this 2010 EIP in any given year which, singly or in the aggregate, cover more than 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

Shares Available under the 2010 EIP. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred to grantees under the 2010 EIP shall not exceed 50,000,000 shares. If there is a stock split, stock dividend or other relevant change affecting the Company's shares, appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of shares that may be issued or transferred in the future and in the number of shares and price of all outstanding Awards made before such event. If shares under an Award are not issued or transferred, those shares would again be available for inclusion in future Award grants.

16

Awards Under the 2010 EIP

Stock Options. The Board may grant options qualifying as incentive stock options under the Code and nonqualified stock options. The term of an option shall be fixed by the Board, but shall not exceed ten years. In the case of death of the holder of the option or upon the termination, removal or resignation of the option holder for any reason other than for cause within one year of the occurrence of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the 2010 EIP), an option may be extended for up to 12 months depending on the circumstances. The option price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In the case of an award of Incentive Options to an employee possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation as those terms are defined in the Code, the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the option term shall not exceed five years from date of grant. Payment of the option price may be by cash or, with the consent of the Board, by tender of shares of Common Stock having an equivalent fair market value or delivery of shares of Common Stock for which the option is being exercised to a broker for sale on behalf of the option holder. With respect to Incentive Options, the aggregate fair market value of shares of Common Stock for which one or more options granted may for the first time become exercisable during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

Restricted Stock. The Board may also award shares of Restricted Stock. The shares will be issued as restricted stock within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such grant would set forth the terms and conditions of the award, including the imposition of a vesting schedule during which the grantee must remain in the employ of the Company in order to retain the shares under grant. If the grantee's employment terminates during the period, the grant would terminate and the grantee would be required to return any unvested shares to the Company. However, the Board may provide complete or partial exceptions to this requirement as it deems equitable. Unless an Award specifically provides otherwise, any shares not otherwise vested shall vest upon the death, disability, termination, removal or resignation of the grantee for any reason other than for cause within one year of the occurrence of a Change of Control (as that term is defined in the 2010 EIP). The grantee cannot dispose of the shares prior to the expiration of forfeiture restrictions set forth in the grant. During this period, however, the grantee would be entitled to vote the shares and, at the discretion of the Board, receive dividends. Each certificate would bear a legend giving notice of the restrictions in the grant.

Performance Awards. The Board may grant Performance Units or Performance Shares in consideration of services performed or to be performed, under which payment may be made in shares of the Common Stock, a combination of shares and cash, or cash if the performance of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company selected by the Board meets certain goals established by the Board during an award period. The Board would determine the goals, the length of an award period and the minimum performance required before a payment would be made. In order to receive payment, a grantee must remain in the employ of the Company until the completion of, and settlement under, the award period, except that the Board may provide complete or partial exceptions to that requirement as it deems equitable.

Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards. The Board also may grant shares of common stock or performance based Awards on the terms and conditions it determines in its discretion, as well as other rights not an Award otherwise described in the 2010 EIP but is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of common stock or cash as are deemed by the Board to be consistent with the purposes of the 2010 EIP. Such other stock or performance-based Awards may be in addition to, or in lieu of, cash or other compensation due the grantee.

Other Information about the 2010 EIP

The 2010 EIP will terminate in 2020 unless terminated earlier by our Board or extended by our Board with the approval of the stockholders.

Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2010 EIP at any time, but such amendment, suspension or termination shall not adversely affect any Award then outstanding without the participant's consent. Any amendment that would constitute a "material amendment" of the 2010 EIP (as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, subject to the rules and regulations of the OTCBB, if any, governing the use of such term in the context of an employee benefit plan), as amended, shall be subject to stockholder approval. Likewise, if the Exchange Act requires the Company to obtain stockholder approval, then such approval will be sought.

17

Unless approved by stockholders or as specifically otherwise required by the 2010 EIP (for example, in the case of a stock split), no adjustments or reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding incentive may be made in the event of a decline in stock price, either by reducing the exercise price of outstanding incentives or by canceling outstanding incentives in connection with re-granting incentives at a lower price to the same individual.

Awards may be exercised only by the Employee, Director, or Consultant to whom they are granted and are generally not assignable or transferable except for limited circumstances upon a grantee's death, or pursuant to rules that may be adopted by the Board. The Board may establish rules and procedures to permit a grantee to defer recognition of income or gain for incentives under the 2010 EIP.

It is anticipated that all members of the Board of Directors will participate in the 2010 EIP. Although the 2010 EIP has been approved, the Board of Directors has not contracted with the Company to implement the 2010 EIP into effect.

Amendments, Termination, Alteration or Suspension of the plan will impair the rights of any participant, only if mutually agreed to, in writing and signed by the participant and the Company.

General Information about the 2010 Service Provider Stock Compensation Plan

The Company's 2010 Service Provider Stock Compensation Plan ("SCP") is intended to promote the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries by offering those officers, directors, employees and consultants or advisors of the Company or any subsidiary who assist in the development and success of the business of the Company or any subsidiary, the opportunity to be compensated for their services in the form of Company stock in lieu of payment in cash.

Benefits of the 2010 SCP. The 2010 SCP is registered with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act. Therefore, all eligible recipients accepting awards of stock for services under the SCP will receive registered stock. Payment for services in the form of registered stock is beneficial to the Company because it enables the Company to preserve its cash while enabling it the possibility of receiving valuable services from service providers. Not all service providers are expected to accept payment in Company stock. Those service providers that accept payment for services in Company Common Stock may liquidate the stock at any time at market price provided there is sufficient volume in the stock at time of sale. The usual investment risks in our Common Stock would apply to the stock issued pursuant to the SCP.

Administration of the 2010 SCP. The 2010 SCP initially will be administered by the Board of Directors. If it chooses, the Board may delegate its authority to a Board-appointed committee comprised of two or more "outside directors" as described in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for general administration of the SCP. The Board may also delegate its authority to a committee comprised of inside directors to administrate the SCP for non-executive officers and other service providers. The Board or the respective committees establish the terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2010 SCP, interpret the 2010 SCP and all awards under the 2010 SCP, and administer the 2010 SCP.

Eligible Participants under the 2010 SCP. Awards under the 2010 SCP may be granted to employees, officers, or directors of the Company or its affiliates, and/or to consultants or advisers currently providing bona fide services to the Company or its affiliates ("Service Providers"). Awards may be made under the SCP only if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("Form S-8") is available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such Service Provider because the nature of the services that the Service Provider is providing to the Company is consistent with the instructions governing the use of Form S-8, including the SEC interpretive Releases pertaining to Form S-8, then in effect. No Award under the Plan may be made for services provided in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction or for services that directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities.

18

Shares Available under the 2010 SCP. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred to grantees under the 2010 SCP shall not exceed 50,000,000 shares. The number of shares of Stock reserved for the SCPshall be adjusted proportionally to reflect, subject to any required action by stockholders, any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change. Available shares under a stockholder approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the SCP and will not reduce the number of shares available under the SCP, subject to applicable stock exchange requirements. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. If shares covered by an Award are forfeited or expire, or terminates without delivery of any stock subject thereto, those shares would again be available for inclusion in future Award grants.

Other Information about the 2010 SCPThe 2010 SCP will terminate automatically in 2020 unless terminated earlier by our Board or extended by our Board with the approval of the stockholders.

Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the 2010 SCP at any time as to any shares of Common Stock as to which awards have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on approval of the Company's stockholders to the extent stated by the Board, required by applicable law or required by applicable stock exchange requirements.

Grant of Options under the 2010 SCP. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we did not grant any stock options. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we granted an aggregate of 10,000,000 stock options to one of our directors. The stock options are exercisable into shares of common stock at $0.03 per share for a period of ten years. As of the date of this Annual Report, none of the stock options have been exercised. See "Item 11. Executive Compensation".

INFORMATION RELATING TO OUTSTANDING SHARES

As of November 30, 2016, there were 326,705,526 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and 5,589,647 shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding. Except for 50,000,000 shares reserved under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, we have not reserved any other shares for issuance upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants or stock options.

All of our issued and outstanding common shares (of which 45,507,132 shares are owned by officers, directors and principal stock holders) were issued in a registered transaction or otherwise have been held for a period in excess of six months and are eligible to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

The resale of our shares of common stock owned by officers, directors and affiliates is subject to the volume limitations of Rule 144. In general, Rule 144 permits our affiliate shareholders who have beneficially-owned restricted shares of common stock for at least six months to sell without registration, within a three-month period, a number of shares not exceeding one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock. Furthermore, if such shares are held for at least six months by a person not affiliated with the company (in general, a person who is not one of our executive officers, directors or principal shareholders during the three month period prior to resale), such restricted shares can be sold without any volume limitation, provided all of the other requirements for resale under Rule 144 are applicable.

On March 10, 2014, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-1 to register 100,000,000 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $0.04 to raise up to $4,000,000.00 in proceeds and to register 6,000,000 shares on behalf of two selling shareholders. The SEC file number of the registration statement is 333-169804.The Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on August 14, 2014. The stated primary purposes of the offering are to obtain additional capital to: (1) facilitate product fulfillment (manufacturing, packaging and shipment), which we anticipate will enable future orders to be self funding; (2) provide working capital to finance corporate acquisitions and the integration of new technologies; and (3) retire debt through cash payment or the exchange of debt obligations with payment in registered common stock. The offering price for our shares registered in the offering is $0.04 per share for an aggregate offering price of $4,000,000.00.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not sold or exchanged common stock registered in the registration statement for cash, services, or in exchange for forgiveness of any debt obligation. The offering at all times has been self-underwritten, meaning we have been offering the registered shares ourselves, and we have not entered into an agreement for an underwriter to acquire some or all of the shares registered. We have not incurred a material amount of expenses in offering the shares for sale because the market price of our common stock was below the fixed offering price provided in the prospectus. Also, we understand that the selling shareholders named in the prospectus have not sold their respective shares registered in the registration statement.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other information presented elsewhere in this annual report.

OVERVIEW

We have decided to include in our sales efforts other products aside the concealed weapons detection system. Currently, customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty. Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for a one year period that begins after any other warranties expire.

We have studied a variety of medical services and products and have decided to open medical clinics, which offer specialty products and services as an adjunct to our current activities.

In the short term, management plans to self fund through personal investment of time and money. 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.  In the past, when possible we have conserved our cash by paying employees, consultants, and independent contractors with our common stock. On June 1, 2010, by majority shareholder consent, we adopted our 2010 Service Provider Stock Compensation Plan. Reserved for equity issuances under the Service Provider Stock Compensation Plan are 50,000,000 shares of our common stock. On July 21, 2010, we registered the common stock issuable under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2010 Service Provider Stock Compensation Plan. A total of 100,000,000 shares are reserved for issuances under the two plans.

Merger or Acquisitions  in 2016

We entered into an agreement to acquire a company called YM Advantage that proposed to acquire and operate clinics in the erectile dysfunction (ED) medical market.  Our board of directors has two doctors that investigated the acquisition and decided that the acquisition was not in the best interest of the company.  However, as the result of the investigation we found that the ED market was lucrative and easy to get into. As a consequence of this decision we cancelled the intended acquisition of YM Advantage.  As of this date there are no pending acquisitions at the time of this filing.

Manufacturing

We no longer manufacture the ViewScan since we have determined a new improved model is needed to continue in the walk through portal security market.  Since we do not have funds to set up a new manufacturing process we are quiescent in our manufacturing activities.

Our sales backlog at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $-0--.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015.

Our net loss for fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was ($190,619) compared to a net loss of ($418,799) during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (a decrease in net loss of $228,180).

We generated revenues of $58,295 during fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $128,492 during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

We have experienced a decrease in sales of our products, which resulted in decreased revenues for fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Operating expenses incurred during fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 decreased primarily due to a significant decrease in professional fees, salaries and benefits, and administrative driven by a decrease in sales.

Thus, our loss from operations during fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was ($190,619) compared to a loss from operations of ($418,799) during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 323,612,873 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 296,940,184 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016

As of December 31, 2016, our current assets were $5,041 and our current liabilities were $1,827,022, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $1,821,981. As of December 31, 2016, current assets were comprised of: (i) $94 in cash; (ii) $3,859 in accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0-); and (iii) inventory of $1,088. As of December 31, 2016, current liabilities were comprised of: (i) $432,841 in accounts payable and accrued expenses; (ii) $149,170 in deferred compensation; (iii) $187,030 in accrued and withheld payroll taxes payable; (iv) $125,625 in accrued interest payable; (v) $225,000 in accrued royalties payable; (vi) $591,208 in loans from stockholders; (vii) $50,000 in notes payable; and (viii) deferred revenue of $66,148.

23

As of December 31, 2016, our total assets were $8,833 comprised of: (i) $5,041 in current assets; (ii) property and equipment (net) of $2,197; and (iii) $1,595 in deposits. The decrease in total assets during fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 from fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to the substantial decrease in cash and receivables.

As of December 31, 2016, our total liabilities were $1,827,022 comprised of current liabilities. The increase in liabilities during fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 from fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans from stockholders.

Stockholders' deficit decreased from ($1,644,370) for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 to ($1,818,189) for fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, net cash flows used in operating activities was $17,933 compared to $121,375 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, net cash flows used in investing activities was $-0- compared to $-0- for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which related to additions to fixed assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We have financed our operations primarily from debt or the issuance of equity instruments. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $15,410 compared to $110,915 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Cash flows from financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 consisted of $-0- in proceeds from sales of common stock and $15,410 in proceeds/payments from stockholders loans, with zero payments on notes payable..

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING

We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years and had a net loss of $190,619 at fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Our revenues from several product sales have been decreasing and 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.

Management intends to finance our 2017 operations primarily with the revenue from service revenue and any cash short falls will be addressed through equity or debt financing, if available. Management expects revenues will continue to decrease 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 $350,000 in equity financing during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $25,000 per month for operations and to facilitate our new business plans.

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 2017 and we cannot assure the company we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain financing to fund our operations in 2017, then we will be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations.

24

Going Concern

The market price of our common stock has fallen below the fixed price of our registered stock offering, as in prior years we may again have insufficient financing commitments in place to meet our expected cash requirements for 2016. 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 2016, then we may be required to further reduce our expenses and scale back our operations. These factors raise substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern. Footnote 2 to our financial statements provides additional explanation of Management's views on our status as a going concern. The audited financial statements contained in this Annual Report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of assets or the amounts of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their reports on the accompanying financial statements for December 31, 2016 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

We lease 1,480 sq. ft. of office space at 6 Park Center Court, Suite 201, Owings Mills, Maryland with a one year lease ending on August 30, 2017.

Our total current liabilities increased to $1,827,022 at fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $1,1,659,742 at fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, our short and long term notes payable consist of the following:

Stockholder Demand loan payable with interest at 5% per month dated September 18, 2009. The loan is secured by the Company's accounts receivable.  The note was payable in full  on December 17, 2009 and is currently in default 50,000 50,000

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our 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, we are not required to provide this information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have one main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system. In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer, installed (if necessary) and accepted by the customer as a completed sale. Each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund. Customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty. Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for one year period that begins after any other warranties expire. The revenue from warranties is recognized on a straight line bases over the period covered by the warranty. Prior to the issuance of financial statements management reviews any returns subsequent to the end of the accounting period which are from sales recognized during the accounting period, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary. Product prices are fixed or determinable and products are only shipped when collectability is reasonably assured.

25

Stock Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation at fair value. Stock based compensation cost for stock options granted to employees, board members and service providers is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model. The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and

Stockholders of View Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of View Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of View Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's continuing operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

View Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") designs, develops and sells computer software and hardware used in conjunction with surveillance capabilities.  The technology utilizes the compression and decompression of digital inputs.  In March 2002, the Company acquired Milestone Technology, Inc., which has developed a concealed weapons detection portal.  In July 2009, the Company acquired FibreXpress, Inc., which is a company that specializes in developing and selling equipment and components for the fiber optic and communication cable industries.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Milestone Technology, Inc. and FibreXpress, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  Management periodically reviews the open accounts and makes a determination as to the ultimate collectability of each account.  Once it is determined that collection is in doubt the account is written off as a bad debt.  In order to provide for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's judgment and the Company's prior experience with managing accounts receivable.

  Management's determination is that the accounts receivable are collectible and therefore no allowance for possible uncollectible accounts receivable has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has three main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system, the visual first responder system and the Viewmaxx digital video system.  In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer, installed (if necessary) and accepted by the customer as a completed sale.  The concealed weapons detection system and the digital video system each require installation and training.  The customer can engage us for installation and training, which is a 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 and acceptance by the customer.  However, the customer can also self-install or can engage another firm to provide installation and training.  Each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund.  Customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty.  Warranties can be purchased for various periods but

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

generally they are for one year period that begins after any other warranties expire.  The revenue from warranties is recognized on a straight line basis over the period covered by the warranty.  Prior to the issuance of financial statements management reviews any returns subsequent to the end of the accounting period which are from sales recognized during the accounting period, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.  Product prices are fixed or determinable and products are only shipped when collectability is reasonably assured.

Inventories

Inventories stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in-first-out method (FIFO).  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company's inventory consisted of a number of assembled units as well as unassembled parts of the product.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives, using the straight-line and accelerated depreciation methods.  Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.  The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows:

Equipment                               5-7 years

Software tools                            3 years

Repairs and maintenance charges which do not increase the useful lives of assets are charged to operations as incurred.  Depreciation expense for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $800 and $925, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the assets and liabilities method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carry forwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the rate change becomes effective.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions, and in various state jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.  The Company policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.  The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it takes and expects to take on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $125 and $2,175, respectively.

Nonmonetary Transactions

Nonmonetary transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 845 " Nonmonetary Transactions" which requires the transfer or distribution of a nonmonetary asset or liability to be based generally, on the fair value of the asset or liability that is received or surrendered, whichever is more clearly evident.

Financial Instruments

For most financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals, management believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value, as the majority of these instruments are short-term in nature.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation at fair value.  Share-based compensation cost for stock options granted to employees, board members and service providers is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model that uses level 3 unobservable inputs.  The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholder by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding.  Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants in addition to shares that may be issued in the event that convertible debt is exchanged for shares of common stock.  The calculation of the net loss per share available to common stockholders for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 does not include potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their impact would be antidilutive.  The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

				Weighted Avg
	(Loss)			Shares		Per-share
	(Numerator)			(Denominator)		Amount
Year ended December 31, 2016
Loss from operations which is the amount

2.GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred and continues to incur, losses from operations.  For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net losses of $190,619 and $418,799, respectively, and has a working capital deficiency of $1,735,690 at June 30, 2016 .  In addition, certain notes payable have come due and the note holders are demanding payment.

Management is very actively working to cure these situations.  It has implemented major plans to for the future growth and development of the Company.  Management is in the process of renegotiating more favorable repayment terms on the notes payable and the Company anticipates that these negotiations will result in extended payment plans.  In addition, during 2016 and 2015, the Company implemented marketing and information strategies to increase public awareness of its products and thereby sales.  It has established new international markets which it believes will be the source for sales growth in the very near future.  It also was able to reduce the per-unit cost of manufacturing its products.  Additionally, the Company has increased the efficiency of its processes and focused its development efforts on products that appear to have greater sales potential.

Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily through private financing.  It is management's intention to finance operations during the remainder of 2017 primarily through increased sales although there will still be a need for additional equity financing.  In addition, management is actively seeking out mergers and acquisitions which would be beneficial to the future growth of the Company.  There can be no assurance, however, that this financing will be successful and the Company may be required to further reduce expenses and scale back operations.

As described in Note 4, the Company is currently in default on a $50,000 loan from a stockholder.

The consolidated financial statements presented above and the accompanying Notes have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and does not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability  and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of any extraordinary regulatory action, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the conditions and events discussed above, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

3.NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for leases, which supersedes previous lease guidance. Under this guidance, for all leases with terms in excess of one year, including operating leases, the Company will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria is substantially similar to previous guidance. Additionally, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenues which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The main principle under this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue at the amount it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

the process of quantifying the impact on its consolidated financial statements. The cumulative effect of the initial adoption will be reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of application of the guidance; however, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements on an annual basis. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

5.INCOME TAXES

               For income tax purposes the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $28,105,000 as of December 31, 2016 that may be used to offset future taxable income.  In the instance of future corporate acquisitions, the net operating losses may be used to offset the future taxable income of a qualifying subsidiary corporation which meets IRS regulations governing such situations.  The losses have accumulated since 1998 and they will start to expire in 2018.  IRS regulations also provide that significant changes in ownership (greater than 50%) could result in the expiration of some of the net operating loss carry forwards.  As of  the date of this report the Company has not made an analysis of the changes in ownership to determine if any of these losses have expired.

The components of the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016 are as follows:
Effect of net operating loss carry forward	$	11,804,000
Less evaluation allowance		(11,804,000	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	-

            The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

	Year ended
	December 31,			December 31,
	2016			2015
Net loss per financial statements which approximates
net loss per income tax returns	$	( 190,619	)	$	(418,799	)
Income tax expense (benefit) applying prevailing
Federal and state income tax rates		(80,000	)		(176,000	)
Less valuation allowance		80,000			176,000
Net income tax expense (benefit)	$	-		$	-

Net income tax benefit is not recognized at this time because there is no reasonable expectation that the benefit will be realized in the future.

The Company has adopted accounting rules that prescribe when to recognize and how to measure the financial statement effects, if any, of income tax positions taken or expected on its income tax returns. These new rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained.

Based on that evaluation, if it were more than fifty percent (50%) probable that a material amount of income tax would be imposed at the entity level upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, a liability would be recognized in the accompanying balance sheet along with any interest and penalties that would result from that assessment.  Should any such penalties and interest be incurred, the Company's policy would be to recognize them as operating expenses.

Due to continuous losses from operations the Company has assigned a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

ITEM 9A. 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 December 31, 2016. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

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

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

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

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

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO 2013") in Internal-Control-Integrated Framework and implemented a process to monitor and assess both the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

42

We have instituted a remediation plan which involves reeducating our management, the accounting staff, and the administrative staff as to the elements of a completed sale. We increased the oversight of the process by increasing the frequency of involvement of outside accounting consultants. Internal systems are being put into place to track and document significant dates, such as delivery, installation and customer acceptance. In addition, the bookkeeping system has been modified so that all sales of extended warranties are automatically recorded as deferred revenue and that the amount of revenue that is ultimately recognized as warranty revenue is as the result of an analysis of the significant aspects of the warranty such as coverage and period.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2016. In connection with such evaluation, there have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred since the beginning of our fourth quarter of 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. While there have been no changes, we have assessed our internal controls as being deficient and will be taking steps beginning in 2017 to remedy such deficiencies.

INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None of our directors, executive officers or control persons has been involved in any of the legal proceedings required to be disclosed in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, during the past five years.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Audit Committee

The board of directors has established an audit committee, and the functions of the audit committee are currently performed by our Corporate Secretary, with assistance by expert independent accounting personnel and oversight by the entire board of directors. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that we establish or maintain an audit committee.

Board of Directors Independence. Our board of directors currently consists of three members. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include "independent" directors.

Audit Committee Financial Expert. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee who (a) understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, (b) is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (c) has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to the Company's financial statements, (d) understands internal controls over financial reporting and (e) understands audit committee functions.

We have not yet replaced our former audit committee financial expert, but we are engaged in finding a suitable replacement.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a code of ethics for our executive officers, directors and employees. However, our management intends to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to the SEC, and compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations.

Nominating Committee

We have not yet established a nominating committee. Our board of directors, sitting as a board, performs the role of a nominating committee. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that we establish a nominating committee.

44

Compensation Committee

We have not established a compensation committee. Our board of directors, sitting as a board, performs the role of a compensation committee. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that we establish a compensation committee. During the last fiscal year, Mr. Gunther Than, an executive officer, participated in our board of directors' deliberations concerning executive officer compensation.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received and written representations from reporting persons required to file reports under Section 16(a), all of the Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such persons, with respect to fiscal year 2014, appear not to have been complied with to the best of our knowledge.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Management has been compensated entirely in accrued salary, common stock, and reimbursement of fuel expense during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The cash value of Mr. Gunther Than's compensation was determined in negotiations with directors Drs. Maassen and Bagnoli and was determined based upon an informal survey of human resource firms as to the compensation awarded to chief executives in companies with similar revenues. Our limited revenues have prevented our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Than, from receiving payment in cash for compensation for services. Mr. Than received $-0- and $0 in cash for salary for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We paid compensation to each of the directors and executive officers in the following amounts during fiscal year 2016:

Name	Salary		Position
Gunther Than (1)	$	0		As Chairman of the Board, Director
	$	0		As Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer
Martin Maassen	$	0		As Director
Michael Bagnoli	$	0		As Secretary and Director

 (1) Mr. Than is reimbursed for his living expenses while out of town from his home. Mr. Than earns an executive salary of $120,000, which is more fully discussed below in the Summary Compensation Table.

(1) Of the $120,000 salary, $-0- was paid in cash, therefore, the entire amount accrued.

(2) Of the $120,000 salary, $-0- was paid in cash, therefore, the entire amount accrued.

(3) During fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock valued at $75,000, all of which was for payment of unpaid salary accrued for periods prior to 2015.

Mr. Than also receives reimbursement of motor fuel expense.

Payroll is accrued payable to Mr. Than at the rate of $10,000 per month. Therefore his annual rate of pay is $120,000.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Gunther Than - Executive Employment Agreement

Mr. Than is our only executive officer and he has a written employment agreement.

On January 1, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the execution of that certain executive employment agreement (the "Executive Agreement") with our President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer, Gunther Than (the "Executive"). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Executive Agreement: (i) the Executive shall provide services and perform all duties typical of the offices held by the Executive; (ii) we shall pay to the Executive a base salary of $10,000 per month, payable in form of cash or shares of our common stock as agreed upon, (ii) we shall pay to the Executive an incentive bonus to be determined by the Board of Directors based upon our performance and the results achieved by the Executive in his job performance; (iii) we shall issue stock options to the Executive to purchase shares of our common stock, such stock options to accrue and vest in accordance with a set schedule to be decided by the Board of Directors; (iv) we shall pay to the Executive a per annum payment of at least 1,600,000 shares of common stock and additionally whatever the Board of Directors may give as a bonus at their discretion in exchange for the non-compete provisions contained therein; and (v) in the event of a change in control of the Board of Directors or a buyout or a takeover or substantial change of management, we shall pay to the Executive a minimum of three years salary plus 4,800,000 shares of S-8 common stock or the equivalent in cash at the Executive's discretion.

In further accordance with the terms and provisions of the Executive Agreement, in consideration of the payment specified above in subparagraph (iv), and for so long as the Executive is employed by us, and for one calendar year following termination of this Executive Agreement, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial or other assistance to or participate in or be connected with as an officer, employee, partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business entity that materially competes with us.

The term of the Executive Agreement shall commence January 1, 2014 and continue in effect unless terminated by either party upon ninety days written notice. However, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated by us at our discretion and is without cause, for a period of three years following such termination, the Executive shall be paid his base salary and a bonus for each of the three years equivalent in value to the bonus received in the year prior to his termination. In the event the Executive terminates his employment, we shall pay the Executive the compensation the Executive has earned to the termination date. Lastly, in the event we are acquired or the non-surviving party in a merger or sell all or substantially all of our assets, this Executive Agreement shall not be deemed terminated as a result thereof.

46

Issuance of Preferred Stock

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock valued at $75,000, all of which was for payment of unpaid salary accrued for periods prior to 2015.

Directors Compensation

No director received compensation for services rendered in any capacity to us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, and our Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of our officers and directors, except where such person has been adjudicated liable by reason of his negligence or willful misconduct toward the Company or such other corporation in the performance of his duties as such officer or director. Our Bylaws also authorize the purchase of director and officer liability insurance to insure them against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in that capacity or arising from such person's status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person under the applicable law.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

We have not established a compensation committee. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that we establish a compensation committee. During the last fiscal year, Mr. Gunther Than, an executive officer, participated in our board of directors' deliberations concerning executive officer compensation.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following tables set forth information as of November 14, 2015 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common and preferred stock (Series A), (a) each stockholder who is known by the Company to own beneficially in excess of 5% of our outstanding common stock; (b) each director known to hold common or preferred stock; (c) the Company's chief executive officer; and (d) the executive officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all persons listed below have (i) sole voting power and investment power with respect to their shares of stock, except to the extent that authority is shared by spouses under applicable law, and (ii) record and beneficial ownership with respect to their shares of stock. The percentage of beneficial ownership of common stock is based upon 326,705,526 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 30, 2015. The percentage of beneficial ownership of preferred stock is based upon 5,589,647 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of November 30, 2014.

			NUMBER OF SHARES			PERCENT OF SHARES

(1) Represents 12,507,125 common shares held by Mr. Bagnoli, 500 common shares held by his spouse and 875 common shares held by a trust.

(2) Represents 10,000,249 common shares held by Mr. Maassen and his spouse and 829,375 common shares held by his spouse.

(3) Represents 20,812,200 common shares held by Mr. Than and 350,625 common shares held by his spouse.

The above table reflects share ownership as of the most recent date. Each share of common stock has one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. We have one class of preferred stock, which we named "Series A." Each share of Series A preferred stock has the equivalent of fifteen votes per share of common stock and is entitled to vote on all matters. Accordingly, Mr. Than's preferred stock has the voting rights of, and is convertible into, 61,344,705 common shares in addition to his ownership and voting rights to 22,168,383 common shares.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

We do not have a specific policy or procedure for the review, approval, or ratification of any transaction involving related persons. We historically have sought and obtained funding from officers, directors, and family members as these categories of persons are familiar with our management and often provide better terms and conditions than we can obtain from unassociated sources. Also, we are so small that having specific policies or procedures of this type would be unworkable.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued for the audit and other services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

		2016		2015
Audit fees	$	10,000	$	10,000
Audit related fees		0		0
Tax fees		0		0
All other fees		0		0

Audit Fees

Audit fees represent the professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our financial statements included in quarterly reports, along with services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit Related Fees

Audit-related fees represent professional services rendered for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements that are not reported under audit fees.

Tax Fees

Tax fees represent professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

48

All Other Fees

All other fees represent fees billed for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported for the other categories.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES

Our audit committee does not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures. Typically, Management has sought out audit firm candidates and presented them to the audit committee. Before the auditor renders audit and non-audit services our board of directors approves the engagement.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

View Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") designs, develops and sells computer software and hardware used in conjunction with surveillance capabilities.  The technology utilizes the compression and decompression of digital inputs.  In March 2002, the Company acquired Milestone Technology, Inc., which has developed a concealed weapons detection portal.  In July 2009, the Company acquired FibreXpress, Inc., which is a company that specializes in developing and selling equipment and components for the fiber optic and communication cable industries.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Milestone Technology, Inc. and FibreXpress, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  Management periodically reviews the open accounts and makes a determination as to the ultimate collectability of each account.  Once it is determined that collection is in doubt the account is written off as a bad debt.  In order to provide for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's judgment and the Company's prior experience with managing accounts receivable.

  Management's determination is that the accounts receivable are collectible and therefore no allowance for possible uncollectible accounts receivable has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has three main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system, the visual first responder system and the Viewmaxx digital video system.  In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer, installed (if necessary) and accepted by the customer as a completed sale.  The concealed weapons detection system and the digital video system each require installation and training.  The customer can engage us for installation and training, which is a 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 and acceptance by the customer.  However, the customer can also self-install or can engage another firm to provide installation and training.  Each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund.  Customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty.  Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for one year period that begins after any other warranties expire.  The revenue from warranties is recognized on a straight line basis over the period covered by the warranty.  Prior to the issuance of financial statements management reviews any returns subsequent to the end of the accounting period which are from sales recognized during the accounting period, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.  Product prices are fixed or determinable and products are only shipped when collectability is reasonably assured.

Inventories

Inventories stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in-first-out method (FIFO).  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company's inventory consisted of a number of assembled units as well as unassembled parts of the product.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives, using the straight-line and accelerated depreciation methods.  Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.  The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows:

Equipment 5-7 years

Software tools 3 years

Repairs and maintenance charges which do not increase the useful lives of assets are charged to operations as incurred.  Depreciation expense for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $800 and $925, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the assets and liabilities method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carry forwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the rate change becomes effective.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions, and in various state jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.  The Company policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.  The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it takes and expects to take on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $125 and $2,175, respectively.

Nonmonetary Transactions

Nonmonetary transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 845 " Nonmonetary Transactions" which requires the transfer or distribution of a nonmonetary asset or liability to be based generally, on the fair value of the asset or liability that is received or surrendered, whichever is more clearly evident.

Financial Instruments

For most financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals, management believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value, as the majority of these instruments are short-term in nature.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation at fair value.  Share-based compensation cost for stock options granted to employees, board members and service providers is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model that uses level 3 unobservable inputs.  The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholder by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding.  Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants in addition to shares that may be issued in the event that convertible debt is exchanged for shares of common stock.  The calculation of the net loss per share available to common stockholders for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 does not include potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their impact would be antidilutive.  The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

 

				Weighted Avg
	(Loss)			Shares		Per-share
	(Numerator)			(Denominator)		Amount
Year ended December 31, 2016
Loss from operations which is the amount
that is available to common stockholders	$	(190,619	)		323,612,873	$	(0.00	)

2. GOING CONCERN

2.GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred and continues to incur, losses from operations.  For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net losses of $190,619 and $418,799, respectively, and has a working capital deficiency of $1,735,690 at June 30, 2016 .  In addition, certain notes payable have come due and the note holders are demanding payment.

Management is very actively working to cure these situations.  It has implemented major plans to for the future growth and development of the Company.  Management is in the process of renegotiating more favorable repayment terms on the notes payable and the Company anticipates that these negotiations will result in extended payment plans.  In addition, during 2016 and 2015, the Company implemented marketing and information strategies to increase public awareness of its products and thereby sales.  It has established new international markets which it believes will be the source for sales growth in the very near future.  It also was able to reduce the per-unit cost of manufacturing its products.  Additionally, the Company has increased the efficiency of its processes and focused its development efforts on products that appear to have greater sales potential.

Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily through private financing.  It is management's intention to finance operations during the remainder of 2017 primarily through increased sales although there will still be a need for additional equity financing.  In addition, management is actively seeking out mergers and acquisitions which would be beneficial to the future growth of the Company.  There can be no assurance, however, that this financing will be successful and the Company may be required to further reduce expenses and scale back operations.

As described in Note 4, the Company is currently in default on a $50,000 loan from a stockholder.

The consolidated financial statements presented above and the accompanying Notes have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and does not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the recoverability  and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of any extraordinary regulatory action, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the conditions and events discussed above, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

3.NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for leases, which supersedes previous lease guidance. Under this guidance, for all leases with terms in excess of one year, including operating leases, the Company will be required to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases and the classification criteria is substantially similar to previous guidance. Additionally, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenues which provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance. The main principle under this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue at the amount it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

The process of quantifying the impact on its consolidated financial statements. The cumulative effect of the initial adoption will be reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of application of the guidance; however, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements on an annual basis. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

5.INCOME TAXES

               For income tax purposes the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $28,105,000 as of December 31, 2016 that may be used to offset future taxable income.  In the instance of future corporate acquisitions, the net operating losses may be used to offset the future taxable income of a qualifying subsidiary corporation which meets IRS regulations governing such situations.  The losses have accumulated since 1998 and they will start to expire in 2018.  IRS regulations also provide that significant changes in ownership (greater than 50%) could result in the expiration of some of the net operating loss carry forwards.  As of  the date of this report the Company has not made an analysis of the changes in ownership to determine if any of these losses have expired.

The components of the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016 are as follows:
Effect of net operating loss carry forward	$	11,804,000
Less evaluation allowance		(11,804,000	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	-

            The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

	Year ended
	December 31,			December 31,
	2016			2015
Net loss per financial statements which approximates
net loss per income tax returns	$	( 190,619	)	$	(418,799	)
Income tax expense (benefit) applying prevailing
Federal and state income tax rates		(80,000	)		(176,000	)
Less valuation allowance		80,000			176,000
Net income tax expense (benefit)	$	-		$	-

Net income tax benefit is not recognized at this time because there is no reasonable expectation that the benefit will be realized in the future.

The Company has adopted accounting rules that prescribe when to recognize and how to measure the financial statement effects, if any, of income tax positions taken or expected on its income tax returns. These new rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained.

Based on that evaluation, if it were more than fifty percent (50%) probable that a material amount of income tax would be imposed at the entity level upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, a liability would be recognized in the accompanying balance sheet along with any interest and penalties that would result from that assessment.  Should any such penalties and interest be incurred, the Company's policy would be to recognize them as operating expenses.

Due to continuous losses from operations the Company has assigned a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2016

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

View Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") designs, develops and sells computer software and hardware used in conjunction with surveillance capabilities.  The technology utilizes the compression and decompression of digital inputs.  In March 2002, the Company acquired Milestone Technology, Inc., which has developed a concealed weapons detection portal.  In July 2009, the Company acquired FibreXpress, Inc., which is a company that specializes in developing and selling equipment and components for the fiber optic and communication cable industries.

Basis of Consolidation

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Milestone Technology, Inc. and FibreXpress, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ from the estimates that were used.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers.  Management periodically reviews the open accounts and makes a determination as to the ultimate collectability of each account.  Once it is determined that collection is in doubt the account is written off as a bad debt.  In order to provide for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management's judgment and the Company's prior experience with managing accounts receivable.

  Management's determination is that the accounts receivable are collectible and therefore no allowance for possible uncollectible accounts receivable has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

  

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company has three main products, namely the concealed weapons detection system, the visual first responder system and the Viewmaxx digital video system.  In all cases revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer, installed (if necessary) and accepted by the customer as a completed sale.  The concealed weapons detection system and the digital video system each require installation and training.  The customer can engage us for installation and training, which is a 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 and acceptance by the customer.  However, the customer can also self-install or can engage another firm to provide installation and training.  Each product has an unconditional 30 day warranty, during which time the product can be returned for a complete refund.  Customers can purchase extended warranties, which provide for replacement or repair of the unit beyond the period provided by the unconditional warranty.  Warranties can be purchased for various periods but generally they are for one year period that begins after any other warranties expire.  The revenue from warranties is recognized on a straight line basis over the period covered by the warranty.  Prior to the issuance of financial statements management reviews any returns subsequent to the end of the accounting period which are from sales recognized during the accounting period, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.  Product prices are fixed or determinable and products are only shipped when collectability is reasonably assured.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in-first-out method (FIFO).  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company's inventory consisted of a number of assembled units as well as unassembled parts of the product.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives, using the straight-line and accelerated depreciation methods.  Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.  The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows:

Equipment 5-7 years

Software tools 3 years

Repairs and maintenance charges which do not increase the useful lives of assets are charged to operations as incurred.  Depreciation expense for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $800 and $925, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the assets and liabilities method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences, measured by enacted tax rates, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carry forwards.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the rate change becomes effective.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions, and in various state jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010.  The Company policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.  The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions it takes and expects to take on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.

Research and Development

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $125 and $2,175, respectively.

Nonmonetary Transactions

Nonmonetary Transactions

Nonmonetary transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 845 " Nonmonetary Transactions" which requires the transfer or distribution of a nonmonetary asset or liability to be based generally, on the fair value of the asset or liability that is received or surrendered, whichever is more clearly evident.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

For most financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals, management believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value, as the majority of these instruments are short-term in nature.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation at fair value.  Share-based compensation cost for stock options granted to employees, board members and service providers is determined at the grant date using an option pricing model that uses level 3 unobservable inputs.  The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholder by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding.  Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants in addition to shares that may be issued in the event that convertible debt is exchanged for shares of common stock.  The calculation of the net loss per share available to common stockholders for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 does not include potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their impact would be antidilutive.  The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:
