Burnaby, British Columbia – Viscount Systems Inc. today announced results from its 2005 fiscal year, ended December 31, 2005. Highlights included:
"We are very pleased with our 2005 results," noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. "We continued to grow and began shipping increasing numbers of pre-booked MESH systems, this despite the delay of the release of our V5 Enterprise platform for shipping until late Q1 2006. We improved our bottom line dramatically and yet increased R&D to finalize a number of additional MESH enhancements for 2006 Q1 and Q2."
"The market for physical security continues to grow and MESH is on the leading edge of the continuing convergence of security and IT. We believe our commitment to MESH is about to pay off since the scope of physical security dwarfs our traditional telephone entry systems. This can be easily evidenced by noting that shipments of MESH surpassed $1 million, mainly through early commercialization sites booked back to 2003. Based on the size of the industry, sales of $1.3 million for MESH are not even indicative of the scope of the opportunity."
