development stage since its formation on January 26,
1989. It designs and develops high technology software
used in conjunction with surveillance capabilities.

devoted primarily to raising capital, developing the technology,
promotion, and administrative functions.
Basis of Consolidation

View Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Real View
Systems, Inc. and Xyros Systems, Inc. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue and the related
cost of goods sold upon shipment of the product.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over
their estimated 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.

December 31, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $4,706 and $4,526, respectively.
Advertising
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Loss Per Share
Loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the
period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between
basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax
purposes.

future tax return consequences of those differences,
which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets
or liabilities are recovered or settled.
Use of Estimates

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
