Viscount Secures $2M Commitment for 2008


Burnaby, British Columbia - Thursday, May 31, 2007 - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS.OB) announced today the Company has signed a brand labeling and distribution agreement with one of Asia’s largest public conglomerates. Under the terms of the agreement the conglomerate has committed to preliminary purchases of $100,000 for 2007 and $2,000,000 for 2008. They have been granted exclusive rights to MESH™ and other Viscount products in India and protected rights in the other countries in which they operate. The company is involved in projects in most Asian countries, the Middle East, Africa and South America.

“This agreement represents a major milestone in developing MESH™ as the leading international brand for IT based physical access control and facility protection,” noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. “We are very happy to begin this association with an internationally recognized technology and construction conglomerate. The customer will be using MESH™ for their own projects as well as third party applications. MESH™ provides substantial performance benefits compared to old control panels, with lower costs. MESH™ also fits well with their commitment to pursuing Green Building technology.”

“Under SEC rules this agreement is material to Viscount since this single deal represents potential growth of over 40%. Since we will be private labeling our products it may be some time before the full terms of the agreement can be released.”
