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 second  quarter,  the Company  continued  to expand its business
development  strategy of  identifying  additional  opportunities  with  existing
national/corporate  clients.  The Company was notified of several  multi-million
dollar  opportunities  from its existing  clients that the Company expects to be
awarded  prior to the end of 2000.  In  addition,  the  Company  added three new
national  level  accounts  during the quarter.  Backlog and follow-on  work with
existing  clients  exceeded  $20  million  at the end of the  quarter.  Based on
currently  identified  backlog and  opportunities,  the Company  expects to show
significantly higher revenue and profitability for the entire year.

         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.

</TABLE>

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

         Revenues  increased by 118% from $2.2 million in the three months ended
June 30,  1999 to $4.7  million in the three  months  ended June 30,  2000.  The
increase was due primarily to revenue of new  customers  and  increased  revenue
from existing customers. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the growth
of large commercial accounts such as MCI Worldcom and Nokia.

         Cost of earned revenues increased from $1.4 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $3.4  million in the three  months  ended June 30,  2000,
primarily due to the increase in revenues.  Gross margin decreased from 35.7% in
the  1999  period  to  28.8%  in  2000.  Second  quarter revenue  had  a  larger
proportionate number of price-competitive contracts than the historical average.
As the ratio of non-competitive  contracts to price-competitive  contracts moves
back to the norm, margins will increase.

         Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased 1.7% from $1.03
million in the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 to $1.01  million in the three
months  ended  June  30,  2000.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  Company
initiatives  to  control the  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses.

         Interest expense and financing fees increased from $0.06 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to $0.12 million in the three months ended June
30, 2000.  The growth in interest and financing  fees was  proportionately  less
than the growth in revenue thereby decreasing the interest and financing fees as
a percentage of revenue.

         Net  income  improved  from a net loss of $0.3  million  in 1999 to net
income of $0.2  million  in 2000.  The  improvement  was due to  improved  gross
margins,  constrained growth in selling, general and administrative expenses and
dramatically improved revenue.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Revenues  increased  by 128% from $3.7  million in the six months ended
June 30,  1999 to $8.4  million  in the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000.  The
increase was due primarily to revenue of new  customers  and  increased  revenue
from existing customers. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the growth
of large commercial accounts such as MCI Worldcom and Nokia.

         Cost of earned  revenues  increased from $2.6 million in the six months
ended  June 30,  1999 to $5.6  million in the six  months  ended June 30,  2000,
primarily due to the increase in revenues.  Gross margin increased from 30.0% in
the 1999 period to 33.3% in 2000.  Margins improved due to improved pricing from
key vendors on several large projects and higher rates for labor.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses increased 39% from $1.6
million in the six months  ended June 30, 1999 to $2.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000.  The increase was primarily due to Company  initiatives  to
increase business development,  and to manage the increased business. The growth
in selling,  general and administrative  expenses was proportionately  less than
the growth in  revenues  thereby  decreasing  the  expenses as a  percentage  of
revenues.

         Interest expense and financing fees increased from $0.12 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $0.20 million in the six months ended June 30,
2000.  The growth in interest and financing fees was  proportionately  less than
the growth in revenue  thereby  decreasing  the interest and financing fees as a
percentage of revenue.

         Net  income  improved  from a net loss of $0.6  million  in 1999 to net
income of $0.3  million  in 2000.  The  improvement  was due to  improved  gross
margins,  constrained growth in selling, general and administrative expenses and
dramatically improved revenue.


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 six months ended June 30, 2000,  approximately  $2.5 million
of cash was used in operating activities. This was a result of net income offset
by  increases  in  acounts  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 June 30,  2000,  the Company had cash of $0.4 million and working
capital of $3.4  million.  The  Company is pursuing  obtaining  financing/credit
facilities  to increase  working  capital to fund a  significant  ramp up of new
business.
