Current Report.
ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION.
On April 28, 1999, Kroll-O'Gara's Board of Directors approved a formal plan
to discontinue operations of the Voice and Data Communications Group pursuant to
several outside expressions of interest to purchase this business. In May 2000,
Kroll-O'Gara terminated all then pending negotiations to sell this business to
outside third parties and reclassified the results of operations of the Voice
and Data Communications Group for all prior periods from discontinued operations
to continuing operations.
Because the results of operations of the Voice and Data Communications
Group for all prior periods was reclassified from discontinued operations to
continuing operations, the consolidated balance sheets of The Kroll-O'Gara
Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1999 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999 have been restated to give effect to the
reclassification of the results of operations of the Voice and Data
Communications Group. In addition, Management's Discussion and Analysis for the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 and Selected Financial Data
for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 have been updated to include
the results of operations of the Voice and Data Communications Group.
