NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 1998 and the results of its operations for the
three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for
the nine month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 have been included.

         Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended December
31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending March 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998.

         The Company's fiscal year ends on March 31. All references to fiscal
years in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent the year in which the
fiscal period ends (i.e. fiscal 1999 is the year ended March 31, 1999)
unless otherwise noted.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

         Net income per share - basic is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each period.

         Net income per share - diluted gives effect to the net additional
shares that would have been issued had all dilutive stock options been
exercised. The Company had no other potential common stock outstanding.

RECENTLY ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the AICPA's Accounting
Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Opinion (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities". This SOP requires that the costs of
start-up activities be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is required to be adopted
for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 and
requires the cumulative effect of the accounting change to be reported in net
income in the year of adoption. The Company will adopt SOP 98-5 effective the
first quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company believes adoption of this standard
will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." This standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 in
its fiscal 1999 year-end financial statements. The Company believes adoption of
this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
disclosures.

NOTE B - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", in
the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. SFAS No. 130 requires presentation of
comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.

31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was as follows:

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS OF OPERATING CONTRACTS

         During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, the Company acquired
staffing service contracts from five entities for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $7.7 million. The Company believes that the purchase of these
contracts is substantially equivalent to the purchase of a business.
Accordingly, the acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The purchase prices have been allocated to the contracts and,
when applicable, covenants not to compete, based upon their estimated fair
market values; the excess of the purchase prices over those values have been
allocated to goodwill, which is being charged to operations on a straight-line
basis over 20 years. The operating results related to the acquired contracts
have been included in the Company's results of operations from the respective
dates of acquisitions.

NOTE D - CONTINGENCIES

          In December 1998, the FAA issued a proposed civil penalty in the
amount of $152,000 for alleged violations of Federal Aviation Regulations
pertaining to the Company's drug testing program. The Company is contesting the
proposed penalty and believes that the final outcome will not be material. The
financial statements do not include any provision for this contingency, as the
amount cannot be estimated at this time.

NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In January 1999, two ITS Security Officers were fatally shot and two
others were critically wounded while at a job site in Compton, CA. While the
financial impact of this incident has not yet been determined, management
believes that the Company will be responsible for approximately $250,000 in
damages arising from this incident. The Company will accrue adequate reserves
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 to cover what it believes will be the
ultimate cost of this incident.

                              Results of Operations
                 Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998

                                     ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

         Revenues. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased by
$13.1 million, or 28.4 percent, to $59.4 million, as compared with the third
quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
revenues from the five acquisitions completed during the current fiscal year and
the inclusion of revenues from the eleven acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998.
The five acquisitions completed in fiscal 1999, which were primarily
non-aviation security service contracts, contributed $4.0 million to the total
increase in revenues for the quarter. The inclusion of the eleven acquisitions
completed in fiscal 1998 contributed $7.8 million to the increase in revenues.
Internal growth contributed $1.3 million of the increase in revenues in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared with the third quarter of 1998.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit was $8.0 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 compared with $7.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998, an
increase of $.6 million, or 8.5 percent. The five acquisitions completed in
fiscal 1999, and the inclusion of operating results from the eleven acquisitions
completed in fiscal 1998, contributed $1.0 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, to the increased gross profit. As a percentage of revenues, gross
profit declined to 13.6 percent in fiscal 1999, from 16.0 percent in fiscal 1998
due to increased labor costs. The current strength of the United States economy,
which has driven unemployment to low levels, has adversely impacted the
Company's ability to attract and retain the workforce needed to provide the
services required under its service contracts. The difficulty in attracting
these workers has forced the Company to raise the wages paid to employees in
advance of negotiating increases in the rates paid by the Company's customers
and has resulted in the Company's payment of increased overtime. These factors
have resulted in downward pressure on the Company's gross margins. 

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 were $5.1 million
compared with $4.0 million in the prior year, an increase of $1.1 million, or
27.2 percent. Measured as a percentage of operating revenues, these expenses
were 8.5 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and 8.7 percent in the
third quarter of last year.

         Contract and Goodwill Amortization. Contract and goodwill amortization
expense increased to $0.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $0.3
million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase is a result of the
eleven acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998 and the five acquisitions completed
in fiscal 1999.

         Interest Expense. Net interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal
1999 was $0.3 million compared with net interest income of $0.06 million in the
prior year. The Company completed its initial public offering of common shares
during the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and as such had lower average borrowings
in last year's third quarter. The increase in net interest expense is a result
of higher average borrowings in fiscal 1999.

                  Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998

         Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rates were 40.7
percent and 40.2 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

         Net Income. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company's net
income decreased to $1.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared
with $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. As a percentage of
operating revenues, net income was 1.7 percent compared with 3.9 percent in the
prior year.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

         Revenues. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 increased
by $51.7 million to $174.9 million, or 42.0 percent as compared with the first
nine months of fiscal 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in revenues from the five acquisitions completed during the current
fiscal year, the inclusion of revenues from the eleven acquisitions completed in
fiscal 1998 and internal growth. The five acquisitions completed in fiscal 1999,
which were primarily non-aviation security service contracts, contributed $7.9
million to the total increase in revenues. The inclusion of the eleven
acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998 contributed $37.8 million to the increase
in revenues. Internal growth contributed $6.0 million of the increase in
revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared with the first nine
months of 1998.

         Gross Profit. Gross profit was $23.8 million in fiscal 1999 compared
with $20.3 million in fiscal 1998, an increase of $3.5 million, or 17.2 percent.
The five acquisitions completed in fiscal 1999, and the inclusion of operating
results from the eleven acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998, contributed $1.8
million and $5.4 million, respectively to the increased gross profit. As a
percentage of revenues, gross profit was 13.6 percent in fiscal 1999, compared
with 16.5 percent in fiscal 1998. The current strength of the United States
economy, which has driven unemployment to low levels has adversely impacted the
Company's ability to attract and retain the workforce needed to provide the
services required under its service contracts. The difficulty in attracting
these workers has resulted in the Company's payment of increased overtime and
has forced the Company to raise the wages paid to employees in advance of
negotiating increases in the rates paid by the Company's customers. These
factors have resulted in downward pressure on the Company's gross margins. 

         Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 were $15.4
million compared with $12.0 million in the prior year, an increase of $3.4
million, or 27.8 percent. Measured as a percentage of operating revenues, these
expenses were 8.8 percent in fiscal 1999 and 9.8 percent in the first nine
months of last year. This decrease is primarily due to the synergies realized
from the Company's acquisition program.

         Contract and Goodwill Amortization. Contract and goodwill amortization
expense increased $1.1 million to $1.7 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999 from $0.6 million in fiscal 1998. The increase is a result of the
eleven acquisitions completed in fiscal 1998 and the five acquisitions completed
in fiscal 1999.

                  Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998

         Interest Expense. Net interest expense decreased in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 to $0.6 million from $0.7 million in the prior year. The
decrease is a result of lower average interest rates and lower average
borrowings in fiscal 1999.

         Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rates were 41.3
percent and 41.2 percent for the first nine months of fiscal years 1999 and
1998, respectively.

         Net Income. As a result of the above factors, the Company's net income
decreased to $2.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared with
$3.8 million in fiscal 1998. As a percentage of operating revenues, the first
nine months of fiscal year 1999's net income was 1.5 percent compared with 3.1
percent in the prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Operating activities provided $2.3 million in cash in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999, a net increase of $5.8 million when compared to the $3.5
million used by operating activities last year. The net increase was primarily
attributable to a decreased year-over-year investment in accounts receivable and
a change in the level of accrued expenses.

         While accounts receivable increased $4.0 million to $24.8 million      
arising primarily from acquisitions, the increase was $3.5 million lower
than the increase experienced during the same period last year. The favorable
impact from accounts receivable is due to a decrease in the level of
acquisitions year-over-year resulting in a smaller incremental investment in
accounts receivable.

             The impact on operating cash flows from accrued expenses was due
primarily to the timing of payment of these expenses resulting in a favorable
year-over-year comparison of $3.2 million.

         Investing activities used $10.7 million, a decrease of $3.7 million
over the same period in fiscal 1998. With regard to investing activities, $8.6
million relates to investments in acquisitions compared with $13.6 million in
fiscal 1998. Capital expenditures increased $1.6 million to $2.5 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared with the first nine months of 1998 due
to increased investments in systems, security equipment, and service equipment.

         The Company anticipates making capital expenditures in fiscal 1999 of
approximately $4.0 million, primarily related to security equipment, service
equipment, and computer software and systems. In addition, the Company
anticipates that it will continue making significant expenditures to fund its
ongoing acquisition program.

         Financing activities provided $11.3 million, compared with $20.4
million in the same period of fiscal 1998. The completion of the company's
initial public offering in September 1997 provided $30.0 million to financing
activities in fiscal 1998.

                  Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998

         The Company has a two-year revolving credit facility providing maximum
availability of $30 million subject to certain borrowing base limitations. At
December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $6.6 million available under
this facility. This facility expires in September 1999 and is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets. The interest rate on this credit
facility is based on either LIBOR or the bank's base lending rate, plus a margin
depending on the Company's ratio of its debt to tangible net worth. Borrowings
under this credit facility currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5 percent.
The credit facility contains customary restrictions and covenants which limit
the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends, and
requires the Company to maintain prescribed debt-to-equity and fixed charge
coverage ratios, minimum net worth levels, and to satisfy certain other
financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at
December 31, 1998.

        The Company believes that operating cash flows and amounts available    
under its credit facility are sufficient to meet its anticipated cash
requirements. 


YEAR 2000 BUSINESS MATTERS

         The Company has completed its assessment of its two most significant
systems to determine the readiness of those systems to handle year 2000
information processing needs. The two systems covered in this assessment are the
Company's enterprises software package, which processes payroll, accounts
payable, accounts receivable and financial accounting transactions, and the
Company's time and attendance system.

        The version of enterprise software package that the Company is  
currently running is not year 2000 compliant, and as such the Company has
purchased the latest version of this package from the software vendor. The      
software vendor has assured the Company that this new version is fully year
2000 compliant. The process of converting to this new version is underway and
is anticipated to be completed by the end of March 1999. The total cost of this
new version and its installation is anticipated to be approximately $0.3
million, of which approximately $0.2 million has already been spent.

            The Company's current PC based time and attendance system is also
not year 2000 compliant. The Company has developed, internally, a new
AS400-based time and attendance system which is fully year 2000 compliant. This
new system is already operational in several locations and it is expected that
it will be fully implemented by the end of September 1999. The total cost of
developing and installing this new system is anticipated to be approximately
$0.4 million, of which approximately $0.1 million has already been spent.

             The Company will conduct an internal review to determine if any
other areas of exposure exist. The Company does not anticipate that any other
material internal or third party issues will exist however, because this review
is not yet complete there can be no assurances that this will be the case. The
expenditures outlined above are in addition to the Company's normal budgeted
level for information systems.
