Viscount Systems Releases Liberty Access Control System


Will Offer the Same Security and Cost Benefits of Freedom

BURNABY, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCQB: VSYS) today announced that the Company will launch Liberty, a new access control technology at ISC West, a leading security industry trade show which begins on April 10 in Las Vegas, NV. Liberty offers the same security and cost advantages as Viscount’s Freedom access control technology. Unlike Freedom, which continues to be a certified product for large commercial and Federal Government clients, Liberty has been designed as a packaged product for smaller integrators and dealers with a focus on simplicity. It will be sold through standard distribution. For more information visit www.libertyaccess.net.

“Some industry estimates show that facilities of under 12 doors represent up to 80% of the access control market,” noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. “With Liberty we now have a powerful new product to complement Freedom and at the same time penetrate the mass market without impacting our certified reseller program.”

Viscount Systems to Release 2012 Financial Results

Company to Hold Investor Update Call on Wednesday, March 27 th at 4:15pm EDT

BURNABY, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Viscount Systems (OTCQB:VSYS), a leading-edge, high technology supplier of security systems and software announced today that its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012 will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, March 27, 2013.

The Company will host a conference call at 4:15pm EDT on March 27th to discuss the financial results and provide a corporate update. The company will host this call for its shareholders and all interested members of the financial community including analysts, brokers and interested investors.

Stephen Pineau, Chief Executive Officer of Viscount Systems, commented, “We look forward to this call as an opportunity to update our shareholders on the success we’ve had with our Freedom access control security platform. Last year was the first full year of Freedom sales, and we were able to win early stage contracts with important reference accounts, including: in the federal market, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; in the industrial market, Methanex, the world’s largest producer of Methanol; and in the commercial market, a high-rise condominium project. These deployments helped to demonstrate that Freedom offers enhanced security at a significantly reduced price point when compared to competing systems, and enabled us to close two rounds of financing with our first institutional investors.”

“So far in 2013, we have announced follow-on purchase orders from the U.S. government and new contracts with a diverse set of commercial customers, including two school districts, a Canadian hotel chain and a large, U.S. industrial facility. Our pipeline of business opportunities for Freedom is currently valued at more than $12 million, its highest level since the launch of Freedom and a number significantly greater than our pipeline of one year ago. We are working diligently towards converting this potential value into actual sales. We’ve been in active discussions with strategic channel partners in order to accelerate our market presence and reach, and we expect to conclude agreements with one or more of these companies. Finally, we have improved our ability to execute on our growth plan and manage our growth by bringing on a new Chief Operating Officer and additional salespeople.”

Dial-in information for the conference call on March 27, 2013 at 4:15pm EDT is as follows:
