                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation

         The  unaudited  balance  sheet as of March 31,  1998 and the  unaudited
statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998 are condensed  financial  statements in accordance  with
the  rules  and   regulations  of  the   Securities  and  Exchange   Commission.
Accordingly,  they omit  certain  information  included  in  complete  financial
statements and should be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
notes  contained in a Form 10-K which the Company filed with the  Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 31, 1998.

         In the opinion of the Company,  the unaudited  financial  statements at
March 31, 1998 and for the three months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,  include
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair  presentation of the financial  position and results of operations for such
periods. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

2.  Net Income (Loss) Per Share

         The Company  has adopted  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  Per Share,"  which
requires  public   companies  to  present  basic  earnings  per  share  and,  if
applicable,  diluted  earnings  per  share.  Basic EPS is based on the  weighted
average  number of common shares  outstanding  without  consideration  of common
stock  equivalents.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. The calculation takes
into  account the shares that may be issued upon  exercise of stock  options and
warrants,  reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received
from the exercise, based on the average price during the period. For 1998, stock
options  and  warrants  have not been  included  in the  calculation  of diluted
earnings per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

3.  Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

         Costs and estimated  earnings on uncompleted  contracts at December 31,
1997 and March 31, 1998 which are expected to be  collected  within one year are
as follows;

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

         This discussion and analysis of the Company's  financial  condition and
historical  results  of  operations  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
condensed financial  statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere
in this report.

Overview

         The   Company   is   a   single-source   provider   of   comprehensive,
technology-based   security  solutions  for  medium  and  large  commercial  and
government  facilities  in the United  States and abroad.  The Company  offers a
broad  range  of  services,   including:   (i)  consulting  and  planning;  (ii)
engineering  and design;  (iii) systems  integration;  and (iv)  maintenance and
technical support.

         The Company derives its revenues primarily from long-term,  fixed-price
contracts.  Earnings are  recognized  based upon the Company's  estimates of the
cost and percentage of completion of individual contracts. Earned revenues equal
the project's  total contract  amount  multiplied by the proportion  that direct
project  costs  incurred on a project bear to  estimated  total  project  costs.
Project costs include direct labor and benefits,  direct  material,  subcontract
costs, project related travel and other direct expenses.

         Clients  are  invoiced  based upon  negotiated  payment  terms for each
individual contract.  Terms usually include a 25% downpayment and the balance as
stages of the work are  completed.  Maintenance  contracts  are billed either in
advance,  monthly,  or quarterly.  As a result,  the Company records as an asset
costs and estimated  earnings in excess of billings and as a liability  billings
in excess of costs and estimated earnings.

Results of Operations

         The  following  table sets  forth the  percentages  of earned  revenues
represented  by  certain  items   reflected  in  the  Company's   statements  of
operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 
1997

         Revenues decreased by 60.0% from $3.3 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1997 to $1.3 million in the three  months  ended March 31,  1998.  The
decrease was due primarily to a decline in work completed on existing  projects.
Revenues from the World Trade Center  project  declined from $1.9 million in the
1997  period  to $0.5  in the  1998  period.  In  addition,  revenues  from  the
Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority declined from $0.7 million in the 1997
period to $0.4  million in the 1998 period.  The revenue from MCI also  declined
$0.1 for the comparable periods.

         Cost of earned revenues decreased from $2.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to $1.1  million in the three  months ended March 31, 1998,
primarily due to decrease in revenues.  Gross margin decreased from 29.6% in the
1997  period to 16.2% in the 1998  period as the margins on both the World Trade
Center project and Metropolitan  Washington Airport Authority projects are lower
than in the previous year.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses increased by 66.2% from
$0.6 million in the three  months  ended March 31, 1997,  to $1.1 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1998.  Overhead salaries  increased by $0.2 million
from the previous  year's period as project staff worked less on jobs due to the
decreased  revenues,  professional fees increased by $0.1 million for recruiting
fees for the new corporate  officers and office  expenses  increased $0.1 due to
increased office space.

         Interest  expense and financing fees decreased  89.9% from $0.1 million
in the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 to $0.01  million in the three months
ended  March 31, 1998 due to a decrease in  outstanding  indebtedness  resulting
from the repayment of the subordinated debentures in October 1997.

         Net income  decreased  from a net  income of $0.2  million in the three
months  ended March 31, 1997 to a net loss of $0.9  million in the three  months
ended  March 31,  1998.  This  decrease in net income was  primarily  due to the
significant  decrease in  revenues  and the  increase  in  selling,  general and
administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Prior to the Offering in October 1997, the Company's primary sources of
cash were the proceeds  from private  placements  of Common Stock and notes from
1992 through 1995 and of subordinated debentures and warrants during 1995, 1996,
and the first three months of 1997.  During each of those years,  the  Company's
operations  had  negative  cash flows as the  Company  increased  its  marketing
efforts,  opened new offices and hired additional  staff to support  anticipated
growth.  The net use of cash from  operations in 1994,  1995,  and 1996 was $1.9
million,  $1.9 million and $1.6 million.  For the year ended  December 31, 1997,
the use of cash from operations was $7.4 million, primarily due to the operating
loss, the  restriction of $1.9 million in cash as collateral for the appeal bond
posted in litigation,  and a reduction in accounts payable. For the three months
ended March 31, 1998, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $0.8
million as a result of its operating loss.

         From 1992 through 1995,  members of a private  investor group purchased
an aggregate of 3.6 million  shares of Common Stock at a total purchase price of
$8.3 million,  generating net proceeds to the Company of $8.0 million,  and $0.5
million  aggregate  principal  amount of 10% demand  notes,  generating an equal
amount of net proceeds to the Company.  The demand notes were  converted in 1995
into 103,000 shares of Common Stock.

         In  addition,  from 1995 through  March 31,  1997,  members of the same
investor  group  purchased  $3.4  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  10%
subordinated  debentures,  together with warrants to purchase  478,580 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, generating net proceeds to
the Company of $3.2  million.  In 1996,  an  additional  $0.2 million was raised
through the exercise of warrants by members of the Board of Directors.

         In October 1997, the Company completed the Offering,  which resulted in
net  proceeds to the Company of  approximately  $9.7  million  after  payment of
offering expenses by the Company. Following the Offering, the Company's interest
in a partnership was redeemed at its cost of $0.7 million plus interest of $0.02
million.  In the fourth  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company  received  proceeds  of
approximately  $0.7 million  upon the  exercise of warrants to purchase  269,382
shares of Common Stock by employees.  In October 1997, the Company used proceeds
of the Offering to repay $3.4 million of outstanding notes payable.

         As of March 31, 1998, the Company has $0.4 million in unrestricted cash
and working capital of $3.6 million. Of that amount, $2.1 million is in the form
of restricted  cash.  This cash is restricted to serve as collateral  for a bond
posted by the Company  pending  appeal of a $1.9  million  judgment  against the
Company.

         During April 1998,  the Board of Directors  approved the issuance of up
to $2.0 million of  convertible  subordinated  debentures to provide  additional
working capital.  As of May 13, 1998, the Company had issued and sold $1,450,000
of debentures.  The debentures have an interest rate of 10%, are due on December
31,  1999 and are  convertible  into  common  stock of the  Company at $8.50 per
share.  In  addition,  the holders  were issued 100  warrants for each $1,000 of
investment with an exercise price of $2.50 and a term of three years.

         The  Company  has in the past  experienced  cash  flow  shortages.  The
Company believes that the $1.5 million  unrestricted  portion of working capital
and the  subordinated  debenture  financing  is  sufficient  to meet its current
operating needs.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

         The Company's  Registration  Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-26439)
relating to the initial  public  offering  (the  "Offering")  of an aggregate of
2,208,000  shares (the "Shares") of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share,
was declared  effective by the Securities and Exchange  Commission on October 1,
1997. Of the 2,208,000  shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration
Statement,  1,400,000  were  sold by the  Company  and  808,000  were  sold by a
