VSYS New High on News Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority Chooses MESH Thursday February 5, 9:00 am ET BURNABY, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 5, 2004 -- Viscount Systems (OTC BB: VSYS) today announced The Company has received its first MESH order from the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA). CMHA is the 17th largest housing authority in the United States. "The Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority has evaluated a number of entry systems and has chosen MESH for its ability meet the needs of its residents," Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. "MESH features such as audible instructions and feedback will enable visitors to more easily understand and operate the system. MESH software and visitor tracking will assist CMHA security by helping to identify problem tenants and visitors." The first MESH system will be installed at The Riverview, a seniors housing community in Walnut Hills, Ohio. The CMHA will evaluate MESH and may change out each of its 12 senior housing communities. In 2003, The United States Government's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) once again bestowed the coveted "High Performer" status on the CMHA through the Public Housing Assessment System. "This is the first MESH installation with a major US housing agency," continued Mr. Pineau. "We have long standing relationships with many housing authorities including New York City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Boston. MESH has new benefits that will provide strong incentives for these and other housing and HUD agencies to initiate MESH upgrade programs." About the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority CMHA was established in December of 1933 under the provisions of the Ohio Housing Authority Law.
