Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

GENERAL

View Systems, Inc. (the Company) has elected to omit substantially all footnotes to the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 since there have been no material changes (other than indicated in other footnotes) to the information previously reported by the Company in their Annual Report filed on the Form 10-KSB for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008 the Board of Directors of View Systems, Inc. approved a reverse split of 80:1 of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stocks. The reverse split did not change the authorized shares or the par value in either case. The split became effective subsequent to September 30, 2008 but before these statements were issued, therefore the change is reflected in the balance sheet as of and the statement of stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2008 and the adjustments for the change are reflected in all periods presented.

UNAUDITED INFORMATION

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

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2008 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Overview

Our product lines are related to visual surveillance, intrusion detection and physical security. Our principal products include:

We are introducing a new product we call the “MINI” (Mobil Intelligent Network Informer). MINI is a portable battery operated device that senses motion, sends text messages and transmits pictures to a user’s cell phone(s). MINI is perfect for monitoring vacant property, vacation homes, boats, storage buildings and parked truck trailers. The device contains a GSP module to track its location in the event of theft or movement.

ViewScan Magnetic Detection System – a walk-through archway detector which uses passive magnetic sensing technology and unique location algorithms to suggest the location of certain kinds of threat objects and other potentially undesirable objects such as cell phones or digital cameras. The control unit combines the magnetic and video information in a manner that allows it to be displayed for easy recognition and auditory warning. The network architecture allows for remote monitoring, integration of biometrics and access control devices and storage locally on the control unit or remotely on servers.

Biometric analysis such as fingerprint verification or facial recognition can be and have been incorporated into ViewScan. Access control methods such as magnetic door locks can and have also been incorporated.

Passport and driver’s license verification for positive identification in correctional facilities, large government and commercial office buildings have been and are currently being combined with the ViewScan portal.

ViewMaxx Digital Video products – a high-resolution, digital video recording and real-time monitoring system.

Multi-Mission Mobile Video (MMV) – a lightweight mobile camera and recording system housed in a tough, waterproof enclosure. The camera systems sends real-time images back to a video monitor at a command post located outside the exclusion zone or contaminated area. The MMV is able to transmit high quality video in the most difficult environments. A multitude of these systems have been deployed and are currently being field-tested.

A hand held metal scanner we call “the LAW” (Locate All Weapons) to search the person if a potential threat object is suspected.

Management believes that heightened attention to personal threats, potential large scale destruction and theft of property in the United States along with spending by the United States Government on homeland security will continue to drive growth in the market for security products.

For the next twelve months we will continue to develop our sales and distribution network into additional regions and markets in the United States and abroad. We have been and plan to continue to increase sales by offering demonstrations of our products in specific geographical areas to potential customers or at region specific trade shows, such as sheriff’s conventions, court administrators’ meetings, civil support team, state police shows, and dealer shows. When a demonstration results in a sale of one of our products, then we attempt to expand that market by contacting other potential customers in the area, such as, correctional facilities, courthouses and other municipal buildings.

We have also continued to develop international markets in the China and the Mid-East and have established international relationships with distributors and dealers. We will be separating our international business from our domestic business to gain efficiency and financial backing.

In September 2008 we disseminated an information statement to shareholders to inform them of a forthcoming reverse-split of our common stock. The share split occurred in October 2008 and was effected in a 1:80 ratio. Following the recapitalization of our common stock structure, 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 of new technologies and/or businesses. We also intend to strengthen our balance sheet by paying off debt with cash if possible or through the exchange of equity securities for the release of debt obligations.

We have been approached by certain entities that would make use of our public structure and/or our net tax loss carry-forward of approximately $8,235,583. However, it is our intention to continue to execute our current business plan until such time, if ever, that we conclude that an acquisition or merger will lead to greater value for our principals and shareholders. We have not entered into definite agreements or decisions about any business combination opportunities.

We intend to hold an annual meeting as soon as practicable. However, no firm plan or date has been identified. Thus, we will issue notice of a meeting at an appropriate time

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussions are based on the consolidated financial statements of View Systems and its subsidiaries. These charts and discussions summarize our financial statements for the nine months’ ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, included with this report at Part II, Item 7, below.



SUMMARY COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS
		Nine months ended September 30,
	2008		2007
Revenues, net	953,776		1,089,907
Cost of sales	300,357		445,888
Gross profit (loss)	653,419		644,019
Total operating expenses	684,960		1,195,612
Profit (loss) from operations	(31,541)		(551,593)
Total other income (expense)	(61,178)		(50,445)
Net income (loss)	(92,719)		(602,038)
Net income (loss) per share	$ (0.07)		$ (0.49)

The gross profit during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is 69% and 69% of net revenue, respectively, as compared to 48% and 59%, respectively, for the same periods in 2007. The increase in gross profit is due to a decrease in cost due to continued engineering changes and further reduction due to economies of scale. We have been able to hold this higher percentage for three quarters. The positive net profit (loss) has decreased dramatically during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, to ($114,653) and ($31,541), respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007, ($295,441) and ($551,593), respectively, is mostly due to further decreases of professional fees and administrative costs. We anticipate further reduction of production costs from the overseas manufacturing opportunities we are currently investigating. We have received favorable reduced cost estimates from several international manufacturing facilities.

We have made use of loans from shareholders to reduce debt. It is our intention to continue to reduce debt.

Revenue is considered earned when the product is shipped to the customer. The concealed weapons system and the digital video system each require installation and training. Training and extended warranties are 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.

Our marketing efforts continue to further sales of the SecureScan and have resulted in increased revenues for the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2008 by 55%. The year-to-date sales in 2007 ending in September 30, 2007 include VFR sales that have not been achieved in 2008, since the MMV (replacement product) has not been ready for production even though we have some back orders for the new product. Management anticipates that increases in revenues will continue as the new Multi-mission Video product comes on line more strongly.

Our backlog at September 30, 2008, was $120,000. The delay between the time of the purchase order and shipping of the product results in a delay of recognition of the revenue from the sale. This delay in recognition of revenues will continue as part of our results of operations.

The decrease of costs from year to year is primarily the result of more efficient operations and engineering changes, and a decrease of delay time between order and delivery of product. Management anticipates that the relative margins of each product line will increase even more with an increase in number of units shipped. The quantities per average sale have been increasing steadily.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In spite of a decrease in net revenue from product sales, our net profits have been increasing and have been enough to pay ongoing costs such as rent, telephone, payroll and materials but are not sufficient to cover our old accounts payable. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern. We are continuing to push sales and control costs.

Historically, we have relied on revenues, debt financing, and sales of our common stock to satisfy our cash requirements. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we received cash from revenues of $199,204, $0 from issuance of equity, and $0 from stockholder advances. We intend to rely on the issuance of our common stock to convert debt into equity and to raise cash. Management anticipates that we will continue to issue some shares for services in the short term.

Management intends to finance our 2008 operations primarily with the revenue from product sales and any cash short falls will be addressed through equity or debt financing, if available. Management expects revenues will continue to increase but are not guaranteed to the point of profitability in the short term. We will need to continue to raise additional capital, both internally and externally, to cover cash shortfalls and reduce debt incurred in the last several years to compete in our markets. At our current revenue levels, management believes we will require an additional $300,000 during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $25,000 per month for operations and revenue expansion. These operating costs include cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, salaries and benefits, and professional fees related to sales and marketing and contracting engineers. We have insufficient financing commitments in place to meet our expected cash requirements for 2008, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain financing to fund our operations in 2008, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations even further.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company leases office and warehouse space in Baltimore, Maryland under a four month operating lease, expiring February 2009. Base rent is $2,872 per month with an annual rent escalator of 3%. At September 30, 2008, future minimum payments for operating leases related to our office and manufacturing facilities were $9,900 through February 28, 2009.

Our total current liabilities decreased to $2,173,354 at September 30, 2008 compared to $2,165,418 at December 31, 2007. Our total current liabilities at September 30, 2008 included accounts payable of $455,103 accrued expenses of $92,538 accrued interest of $203,118 accrued royalties of $150,000, loans from shareholder of $313,599 and notes payable of $958,996.

Our notes payable consist of the following:

A note in the principal amount of $110,000 payable to the former shareholder of Xyros Technology, Inc. The note is due on demand with interest at 10% per annum. As of December 31, 2004, we are in default on the note which was due in 1999. We negotiated to repay the loan as cash flows permit and this debt remains outstanding. We are in doubt about the intentions, will or ability of the note holder to attempt collection of this debt. At this time, the entity is no longer in existence and we have been unable to locate the principals of that company.

We issued notes in the aggregate amount of $343,093 pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated December 23, 2005, to three accredited investors: Starr Consulting, Inc., Active Stealth, LLC, and KCS Referral Service LLC (the “Subscribers”). We agreed to sell and the Subscribers agreed to purchase convertible promissory notes and warrants. However, on January 6, 2006, the Subscribers consented to the removal of the warrants from the subscription agreement, with the understanding that the warrants would be reinstated after we increased our authorized common stock while the shares underlying the warrants would be registered at a later date. The Subscribers did not receive any other additional consideration for the removal of the warrants. The Subscribers agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $500,000 of 8% promissory notes convertible into shares of our common stock at a per share conversion price of $0.10. The notes were originally due and payable by December 31, 2006. The Subscribers agreed to purchase the promissory notes over a 5 month period in $100,000 per month installments; however, the investment threshold was never achieved, so the conversion option of the notes was terminated, and the loans became due on demand with interest at 8% per annum. As of the date of this report the investors have demanded repayment of these loans. The Company is taking steps to negotiate these defaults.

An unsecured loan from a stockholder in the aggregate amount of $39,203, which is being paid in monthly installments of $2,512, which includes interest at 10%.

Unsecured convertible loans from two stockholders in the principal amount of $216,000. $100,000 of the loans was due in full on November 1, 2007 with interest at 7%. The holder of this note has demanded payment and has chosen not to convert to equity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2008 (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the

Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.

The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We resolved a material matter during the reporting period. There are no other pending legal proceedings.

Sigma International Holdings, Inc. v. View Systems, Inc.

In August 2006 we entered into a consulting agreement with The Riderwood Group, a Maryland limited liability investment banker, for the purpose of assisting in raising private equity financing and finding suitable acquisition targets. The Riderwood Group subsequently introduced the Company to Sigma International Holdings in 2007 which signed a non-binding merger and acquisition agreement and in addition loaned us $250,000. Sigma soon thereafter demanded satisfaction of their note or a control block of the Company. View Systems’ Board of Directors decided not to give Sigma control of View Systems. Sigma sued the Company on the note and was awarded a judgment on May 11, 2008 in Montgomery County, Maryland, Case Number 288395-V, for $296,000.00 which included interest and legal fees.

The Board of Directors of View Systems after several meetings decided to settle the debt, $296,000 plus another $5,196.50 interest and costs for a total of $301,196.50, which was paid to Sigma International Holdings for full and final settlement. Of the total, $100,000 was paid by the Company. Our director, Dr. Michael Bagnoli, provided the balance of $201,196.50.

On September 4, 2008, we received documents from the District Court of Denver, Colorado acknowledging our full satisfaction of the judgment held by Sigma International Holdings effective as of August 29, 2008.
