Viscount Systems (OTCBB:VSYS) today released its financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2010. After tax profit for Q1 2010 was $66,205 compared to a loss of $(20,153) for 2009, an improvement of $86,358. Sales were $1,011,189, compared to $1,070,644 for 2009.

?We are pleased with the continued improvement in our bottom line,? noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. ?While our sales decreased slightly, this reflected a reduction of our obsolete Enterphone system and not our core MESH product. Our outlook for the balance of 2010 remains positive and our improved bottom line continues despite increased marketing and R&D expenditures on new products. However, for Q2 and Q3 we anticipate some additional costs associated with consulting, patents, and the product launch of our new Freedom platform.?
