              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To: Norment Industries, Inc. and
    Norshield Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Norment
Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Norshield Corporation (an
Alabama corporation) as of November 28, 1998 and February 28, 1998 and
the related combined statements of income, net assets, and cash flows
for the nine month period ended November 28, 1998 and for each of the
two fiscal years in the period ended February 28, 1998.  These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial
position of Norment Industries, Inc. and Norshield Corporation as of
November 28, 1998 and February 28, 1998 and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for the nine month period ended
November 28, 1998 and for each of the two fiscal years in the period
ended February 28, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               November 28, 1998 and February 28, 1998


1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Norment Industries, Inc. ("Norment"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apogee
Enterprises, Inc. ("Apogee") and headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, is
a comprehensive security and detentions systems manufacturer, integrator,
and contractor, which operates through four divisions.  SESCO, located in
Montgomery, Alabama, is a systems integrator, providing both physical
security and installation of electronic systems to the corrections
market.  Trentech, also located in Montgomery, Alabama, designs and
manufactures custom electronic security systems primarily for the
corrections industry.  Products and services provided by Trentech include
electronic control and annunciation systems, graphic control panels,
touch-screen control systems, badging and video ID systems, access
control systems, custom command centers, close-circuit television, and
perimeter and intrusion detection systems.  Airteq, located in Portland,
Oregon, designs and manufactures pneumatic security locks and sliding 
door locking devices.  Airteq also manufactures mechanical and
electro-mechanical locks, as well as a complete line of door hardware. 
EMSS, located in Livermore, California, is a leading detention systems
contractor primarily serving the West Coast.  The operations of EMSS are
essentially the same as the services offered by SESCO and Trentech.  EMSS
provides a single point of responsibility for engineering and integrating
all the critical security components into the overall construction for
the facilities including hardware, hollow metal, bullet-resistant
glass, and the electronic controls system. 

Norshield Corporation ("Norshield" and collectively with Norment, the
"Companies"), also a wholly owned subsidiary of Apogee and located in
Montgomery, Alabama, is one of the world's largest manufacturers and
suppliers of ballistic, attack, and blast-resistant products.  Norshield
manufactures and supplies a full line of detention equipment, including
detention furnishings, custom security windows, control room framing,
bullet-resistant aluminum enclosures, woven rod mesh, security hardware,
and pneumatic locking systems.

As further discussed in Note 10, Norment and Norshield were acquired from
Apogee by CompuDyne Corporation ("CompuDyne") effective November 28,
1998.  The accompanying combined financial statement presentation
includes the accounts of Norment and Norshield.  All significant 
transactions between the Companies have been eliminated.  Excluded from
the presentation are the accounts of VoiceTrack, a division of Norment,
which was not acquired by CompuDyne.


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fiscal Year-End

Prior to November 28, 1998, the Companies were on a 52/53 week
year ending on the Saturday closest to February 28.  As a result
of the business combination (see Note 10), the Companies'
financial reporting year will become December 31 to conform with
CompuDyne.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Certain estimates used by management are susceptible to
significant changes in the economic environment.  These include
estimates of percentage-completion on long-term contracts and
valuation allowances for contract accounts receivable.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, which approximates
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost.


Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization and include expenditures for major renewals
and betterments that substantially increase the useful lives of existing
assets.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. 
Upon sale, retirement, or other disposition of these assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts, and the related gain or loss is credited or charged to income. 
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated service lives of the depreciable assets as follows:

<TABLE>

<S>            <C>                                  <C>
         Buildings                            20-40 years
         Leasehold improvements               Life of lease
         Machinery and equipment              5-10 years
         Office equipment and furniture       3-7 years
         Vehicles                             3-7 years
</TABLE>


Long-Term Contracts and Revenue Recognition

Long-term contract earnings are recognized on the percentage of
completion method whereby that portion of the total contract price
is recognized based on the percentage of costs incurred to date to
total estimated costs.  Revisions in revenue, costs, and profit
estimates occurring during the course of a contract are reflected
from the time the revisions are determined.  Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which such losses are determined.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts represent the excess of contract revenues recognized to
date over billings to date on certain contracts.  Billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts
represent the excess of billings to date over the amount of
revenue recognized to date on the remaining contracts.


Income Taxes

The Companies have not filed their own income tax returns, but
have been included in the consolidated federal and state income
tax returns of Apogee.  The provisions for income taxes are based
on the Companies' income before taxes and represent assessments by
Apogee which approximate taxation of the Companies as if they were
stand-alone taxpayers.  The Companies also recognize deferred tax
assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between
financial and tax reporting.  Recognition of deferred tax asset
balance sheet amounts is based on management's belief that it is
more likely than not that the tax benefit associated with certain
temporary differences will be realized.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Companies enter into forward currency exchange contracts in
order to manage specific foreign currency exposures related to
foreign construction contracts, receivables, and cash denominated
in foreign currencies.  At November 28, 1998, the Companies had
forward contracts maturing at various dates, the last of which is
August 17, 1999, with a value of approximately $2,400,000.  Gains
and losses on forward contracts related to cash and receivables
are recognized currently, while gains and losses related to
construction projects are deferred and accounted for as a part of
the related transaction.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In preparing disclosures about the fair value of financial
instruments, management has determined that the carrying amount
approximates fair value for current financial instruments due to
the short maturities of those instruments.

Net Assets

For purposes of the combined financial statement presentation, Net
Assets consist of the Companies' capital stock accounts and
Apogee's intercompany investment in each subsidiary, as follows:

                                    ===========        ===========
</TABLE>

 
Earnings Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  SFAS No. 128 replaced the
presentation of primary EPS with the presentation of basic EPS. 
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. 
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock are exercised or converted into
common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then
shared in the earnings of the entity.

For purposes of presenting combined EPS for the Companies on a
stand-alone basis, the number of common shares outstanding for
each of the Companies were added together and divided into the
income available to common stockholders.  There were no dilutive
shares, and as such, the computation of basic and diluted EPS is
the same.


New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in the financial statements.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130 did not
have a material impact on the Companies' combined financial reporting.


In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which
establishes new standards for segment reporting, using the
"management approach," in which reportable segments are based on
the same criteria or which management disaggregates a business for
making operating decisions and assessing performance.  As separate
subsidiaries of Apogee, the Companies were considered to be a
single segment by Apogee.  As subsidiaries, presentation of
segment information is not required.

In July 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes
the accounting definition of a derivative and specifies
measurements, recognition, and disclosure of changes in the fair
value of derivatives (hedges) held by a company.  This standard
will require derivatives designated as hedges to be recorded on
the balance sheet at fair value with the change in fair value of
the underlying hedged item.  This standard will be adopted by the
Companies in the year 2000 and is not expected to have a material
impact on the Companies' combined balance sheets or results of
operations.


3. RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable and unbilled retainage consist of the following at
November 28, 1998 and February 28, 1998:

5.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

In addition to participation in the benefit plans described in
Note 7, the Companies are parties to a number of transactions with
their parent, Apogee.

The Companies have an arrangement whereby an affiliate of Apogee
provides various accounting and management services to the
Companies.  Allocated costs for these management functions totaled
$346,989 for the period ended November 28, 1998 and $448,992 and
$506,295 for the fiscal years ended February 28, 1998 and March 1,
1997, respectively.  Certain of these accounting and information
management services will continue to be provided by the Apogee
affiliate subsequent to the closing of the CompuDyne transaction
until a plan of conversion to CompuDyne systems can be completed.

Apogee provides funding to the Companies through a combination of
intercompany debt and temporary equity funding.  Interest
assessments for intercompany funding deemed to be debt by Apogee
totaled $1,181,386 for the period ended November 28, 1998 and
$1,543,824 and $1,243,824 for the fiscal years ended February 28,
1998 and March 1, 1997, respectively.

Related to a contract Apogee was fulfilling, the Companies
recorded sales of $1,011,154 and costs of goods sold of $709,714
during the fiscal year ended March 1, 1997.  There were no
material sales to or purchases from Apogee in periods subsequent
to fiscal 1997.

6. INCOME TAXES

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Prior to November 28, 1998, the Companies participated in Apogee's
qualified defined contribution pension plan, which covers
substantially all full-time nonunion employees.  Contributions to
the Plan are based on a percentage of employees' base earnings. 
Apogee makes deposits with the trustee on behalf of the Companies'
participants on an annual basis.  The Companies' contributions to
the Plan were $209,940, $258,589, and $234,844 for the nine months
ended November 28, 1998 and the fiscal years ended February 28,
1998 and March 1, 1997, respectively.

Prior to November 28, 1998, the Companies also participated in
Apogee's 401(k) savings plan, which allows all employees to
contribute 1% to 13% of their annual compensation subject to
Internal Revenue Service limitations.  Apogee matches 30% of
employee contributions up to the first 6% contributed.  The
Companies' expense related to this plan was $83,104, $100,914, and
$89,021 for the nine months ended November 28, 1998 and the fiscal
years ended February 28, 1998 and March 1, 1997, respectively.

8. OPERATING LEASES

The Companies have operating leases for buildings and equipment. 
Minimum future rental payments for all operating leases having
remaining terms in excess of one year are as follows:

Fiscal year ending in:
        1999               $ 363,015
        2000                 153,336
        2001                  31,002
                           ---------
                           $ 547,353
                           =========
</TABLE>

Total rental expense amounted to $205,099, $236,465, and $238,945
for the nine months ended November 28, 1998 and the fiscal years
ended February 28, 1998 and March 1, 1997, respectively.


9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Companies are party to various legal proceedings incidental to
normal operating activities.  In particular, like others in the
construction industry, the Companies' construction business is
routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of
the construction projects.  Although it is impossible to predict
the outcome of such proceedings, management of the Companies
believes that any resulting liability will not have a material
effect on its financial position or results of future operations.


10.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

Effective November 28, 1998, CompuDyne acquired all of the capital
stock of Norment and Norshield from Apogee for a total purchase
price approximating $22.5 million.  The transaction, which
provided for the retention by Apogee of Norment's VoiceTrack
division, certain contracts, cash, and certain scheduled
liabilities, closed November 30, 1998, subject to adjustments for
working capital as of the effective date.



Item 7(b)

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements give effect to the December 3, 1998
acquisition of Norment and Norshield by CompuDyne Corporation. 
The pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet gives effect
to the transaction as if it had been consummated on November 28,
1998 and the pro forma consolidated condensed statements of
operations give effect to the transaction as if it had been
in effect throughout the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and
the nine month period ended September 30, 1998.  The unaudited
pro forma financial statements have been adjusted for the
purchase method of accounting whereby the assets and liabilities
of Norment and Norshield are adjusted to estimated fair market
value, based upon preliminary estimates, which are subject to
change as additional information is obtained.  The allocations of
purchase costs are subject to final determination based upon
estimates and other evaluations of fair market value.  Therefore,
the allocations reflected in the following unaudited pro forma
financial statements may differ from the amounts ultimately
determined.   The information should be read in conjunction with
the accompanying notes and the separate financial statements of
Norment and Norshield included herein.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations
are based on assumptions and estimates and are not necessarily
indicative of what the actual results of operations of CompuDyne
would have been assuming such transactions had been completed as
of January 1, 1997, nor do they purport to represent the results
of operations for future periods.  Further, the unaudited pro
forma condensed statement of operations for the interim period
ended September 30, 1998 is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the full year.
