In an effort to expand upon the current market penetration of its ViewScan weapons detection system, View Systems, Inc. (OTC: VSYM) is in ongoing discussions with three firms regarding the potential of a future acquisition or merger. According to a recent press release, the company has received a letter of intent from multiple candidates, with the latest coming from a profitable, privately owned business with annual revenue of $7 million.
“We are actively reviewing [merger and acquisition] candidates and are working through careful due diligence with each company in consideration,” Gunther Than, chief executive officer of View Systems, stated in a news release. “Finding and moving forward with an M&A isn’t an exit from our current focus of operations, but rather a strategic path toward larger market penetration with our ViewScan product.”
The company’s management team has continued to highlight the importance of shareholder interest throughout its merger and acquisition discussions. Following thorough due diligence, it was decided that the previously announced merger with Potomac River Group LLC (PRG) would “take away from the impact… expected from an ideal merger/acquisition partner.”
“We are highly focused on acquiring or merging with someone to take ViewScan to [a] higher level, but we do so while keeping shareholder interest at the absolute forefront of our progression,” continued Than.
While View Systems continues to search for a partner, the company remains diligent in its efforts to increase shareholder value through the installation of its proprietary ViewScan systems. In June, the company highlighted this progress through a news release detailing recent installations in banks, police stations and schools throughout Michigan, Texas and California. This expanding national presence should give the company improved access to the massive global security industry, which has been one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global economy for nearly a decade. By leveraging the advantages that the ViewScan system boasts over ordinary metal detectors – including accelerated threat detection, reduced false positives and facial identification capabilities – View Systems is in a favorable strategic position to build on its recent growth moving forward.
For prospective investors, the diligence shown by the company’s management team is a promising indication of its strong market potential. Look for View Systems to continue leaning on this expertise in order to maximize shareholder value in the months to come. As the search for an ideal merger/acquisition partner continues, the overall marketability and expanding industry presence of the innovative ViewScan system should provide a platform for sustainable financial growth.
