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 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.

         During the quarter the Company experienced  improvement in results over
the same period in 1999, but had expected an even stronger  quarter in 2000. The
Company  has  experienced  some  delays  from  clients in  implementing  capital
expenditures for security, due to the slow down in economy. However, the Company
currently  has in excess of $20  million in  backlog  and  identified  follow on
business from existing clients as well as a strong bid and proposal log.

         The  Company  continues  to build its  infrastructure  and  broaden its
client base. The Company believes its annual revenues for year 2000 will be from
$16 to 18 million and should  reach from $25 to 30 million in year 2001,  versus
1999 revenues of $10.6  million and 1998  revenues of $6.6 million.  The Company
has added senior sales personnel in Texas, Georgia, Virginia and California. The
2000 revenue  results do not reflect the  relationships  and experience that the
expanded sales force  contribute.  In addition,  the move to the west coast will
add several million dollars to the existing revenue base of the Company.

         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% down payment 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.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared With Three Months Ended September
30, 1999

         Revenues  increased  by 42% from $2.4 million in the three months ended
September 30, 1999 to $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2000.
The increase was due primarily to revenue from new customers.  The customer base
increased to 70 accounts with revenue split evenly between 15 major accounts and
the other 50 small or new accounts.

         Cost of earned revenues increased from $1.7 million in the three months
ended September 30, 1999 to $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30,
2000,  primarily  due to the increase in revenues.  Gross margin  improved  from
28.1% in the 1999 period to 41.9% in 2000. The  improvement in margins  resulted
from  better  volume  discounts  on  material  prices as well as  higher  margin
contracts.

         Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased 50.6% from $0.8
million in the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 to $1.3  million in the
three months ended September 30, 2000.

         Interest expense and financing fees increased from $0.03 million in the
three months ended September 30, 1999 to $0.10 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2000.  Interest expenses increased due to an increase in borrowing
resulting from the increase in revenues and costs.

         Net  income  improved  from a net loss of $0.2  million  in 1999 to net
income of $3.2 thousands in 2000.

Nine Months Ended  September 30, 2000 Compared With Nine Months Ended  September
30, 1999

         Revenues  increased  by 94% from $6.1  million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 to $11.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The increase was due primarily to revenue from new customers.

         Cost of earned revenues  increased from $4.3 million in the nine months
ended  September 30, 1999 to $7.6 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2000,  primarily due to the increase in revenues.  Gross margin  increased  from
29.2% in the 1999 period to 35.8% in 2000.  Gross margin  increases  were due to
better volume discounts on cost of material as well as higher margin contracts.

         Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  as  a  percentage  of
revenues  decreased  from 40.7% in the nine months ended  September  30, 1999 to
30.2% in the nine months ended  September  30, 2000.  The decrease was primarily
due to Company initiatives to reduce unnecessary  administrative overhead costs,
and due to the  increase in the revenue  base.  These  expenses  also  reflect a
significant increase in expenses related to increasing the sales force.

         Interest expense and financing fees remained at 2.5% of revenues in the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and in the nine months ended September 30,
2000.

         Net  income  improved  from a net loss of $0.84  million in 1999 to net
income of $0.37 million in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         In October 1997, the Company  completed its initial public  offering of
Common  Stock,  which  resulted in net proceeds to the Company of  approximately
$9.7 million  after payment of offering  expenses by the Company.  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 initial  public
offering to repay $3.4 million of outstanding notes payable.

         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 Company sold an  additional  $400,000 of  debentures  as of
August  25,  1998.  The  debentures  had an  interest  rate of 10%,  were due on
December 31, 1999 and were 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 value
of the warrants of $71,394 was determined based upon the Black Scholes Valuation
Model and was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

         During February 1999, the $1.9 million the Company was required to post
as  collateral  for a bond pending its appeal of a lawsuit was released when the
trial  court's  judgment was  reversed.  In February  1999,  the Company  repaid
$920,000 of the outstanding debentures.

         During  September  1999 all of the holders of the  company's 10% senior
notes  totaling  $930,000 due December 31, 1999,  have agreed to exchange  their
notes for the Company's common stock valued at $1.50 per share. Additionally, to
support the  significant  increase  in  business,  the board  approved a private
placement of 500,000 shares at $1.50 per share, which was subsequently increased
to 1,204,855 shares. The board also approved the sale of up to 21% equity in the
Company to a  minority  partner.  Netcom  Solutions  International  subsequently
purchased  approximately 8% or 700,000 shares of the Company at $1.50 per share.
As of March 23, 2000, all of these transactions had been completed.  In summary,
$930,000 of debt was  converted  to equity,  $1.8  million  was  received by the
private  placement and $1.05  million in the form of cash and a short-term  note
was received from the sale of a minority interest.

         During the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  approximately  $2.6
million  of cash  was used in  operating  activities.  This was a result  of net
income offset by increases in accounts receivables,  inventories,  and costs and
estimated  earnings in excess of billings on  uncompleted  contracts  due to the
increase in business during the period.

         As of  September  30,  2000,  the Company had cash of $0.2  million and
working   capital  of  $3.5   million.   The  Company  is   pursuing   obtaining
financing/credit  facilities to increase  working  capital to fund a significant
ramp up of new business.
