PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Description of Business
- -------------------------
CompuDyne Corporation ("CompuDyne" or the "Company"), a Nevada corporation,
incorporated in Pennsylvania on December 8, 1952, changed its state of
incorporation to Nevada on May 8, 1996.
Overview
- ---------
CompuDyne operates in three general sectors of the security industry -
Corrections, Attack Protection and Federal Systems:
Corrections - CompuDyne's Norment Security Group ("NSG"), headquartered in
- ------------ Montgomery, AL, provides physical and electronic security products
and services primarily to the corrections industry (jails and prisons) and
secondarily to the courthouse, municipal and commercial markets. NSG operates
through the following subsidiaries and divisions:
Norment is a detention contractor, responsible for most installation work
on larger projects. Installation will involve hardline (steel security
doors, frames, locking devices, etc) and sophisticated electronic security
systems including software, electronics, touchscreens, CCTV, perimeter
alarm devices, etc.
TrenTech is an electronic security systems designer, manufacturer and
integrator. TrenTech integrates generally available products and software
as well as designing proprietary systems such as IDEAS and a video badging
system. TrenTech provides systems to Norment for installation.
Airteq, supplemented by Norshield Corporation's, ("Norshield Security
Products or Norshield") manufacturing capacity, offers a complete
line of locks and locking devices to the corrections industry. Long an
industry leader and innovator in pneumatic locking technology, AirTeq in
January 2000 introduced an innovative new electromechanical sliding
device, which completes its product line.
NSG Regional Offices provide field level design, installation and
maintenance of both hardline (physical) and electronic security products.
Primary offices are in Hanover, MD, Raleigh, NC, Columbia, SC, Phoenix, AZ,
Tucson, AZ, Milwaukee, WI, and Livermore, CA. Smaller offices are located
in Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Combined, NSG is the country's largest supplier of physical and
electronic security products, integration services and maintenance for
jails, prisons and courthouses. Projects range from very small to as large
as $15-$20 million. Security maintenance outsourcing contracts range from
very small to over $1 million per year and provide for the routine
maintenance and emergency repair of sophisticated security control systems
and related equipment.
NSG also includes software based control products. CorrLogic develops,
installs and maintains the most robust and extensive software in the
industry for the management of inmates and other personnel and processes
within the courthouse, jail and prison environment. CorrLogic software is
designed to handle the country's largest jails, with recent installations
including Wayne County (Detroit), MI, Shelby County (Memphis), TN, and
Hennepin County (Minneapolis), MN. SYSCO has exclusive North American
rights to the PC-ADACS (Alarm and Distributed Access Control System)
software based system developed by Shorrock Electronics in England. SYSCO
also has a proprietary product, SecurLan, which is designed to provide
physical protection for Local Area Network conduits and cables for computer
networks.
Attack Protection - Norshield is the country's largest manufacturer of bullet,
- ----------------- blast and attack resistant windows and doors designed for
high security applications such as embassies, courthouses, Federal Reserve
buildings, and banks. Norshield's largest customer is the U.S. Department of
State, and Norshield is a major supplier of bullet, blast and attack resistant
products to U.S. Embassies around the world. Norshield produces an integrated
structurally secure product where the rated protection comes not from just the
glass but from the frame and encasement as well. Norshield also manufactures
bullet, blast and attack resistant products on an Original Equipment
Manufacturer ("OEM") basis for a selected group of corporate clients. Examples
of Norshield commercial products include security doors and windows, transaction
accessories, cash drawers, guard booths, toll booths and drive up windows.
Norshield also manufactures cell door sliding devices for sale under the Airteq
brand.
Federal Systems - Quanta Systems, Inc., ("Quanta") has been serving the federal
- ---------------- government's intelligence community since 1950. Serving the
military, government agencies, and state and local customers, Quanta provides
specialty engineering and security services, often of a classified nature. In
recent years Quanta has developed and emphasized a special competence in
physical and electronic security, which has become its primary focus. Quanta,
along with its Data Control Systems division, ("DCS"), provides electronic black
box manufacturing, tactical systems integrations, and the design and production
of proprietary communications products.
MicroAssembly - Located in Willimantic, Connecticut, MicroAssembly is a
- ------------- manufacturer of a proprietary automated process called the
Stick-Screw System. All of the assets of MicroAssembly were sold on May 31,
1999 and MicroAssembly changed its name to 4 Focus, Inc..
See Note 15 "Operating Segment Information" to the Consolidated Financial
Statements of CompuDyne for more information about the results of operations
from the three operating segments.
Market
- -------
The market for jail and prison security systems is related to new facility
construction, existing facility upgrades, and the trend towards outsourcing
government services. Approximately $3.1 billion is spent annually on
correctional facility construction, of which typically 14%-15% relates to
security hardware and security electronics. Most upgrade and all maintenance
work would be in addition to this. Other security markets, which the Company
serves, including state and local government facilities, federal government
facilities, and large commercial installations are much larger. The commercial
security marketplace is often estimated at $1.8 billion and federal government
expenditures on security are conservatively estimated at $1.7 billion.
The Company faces considerable competition, from large and small companies, in
all of its lines of business. While the Company is the largest supplier of
physical and electronic security to the corrections industry, it does compete
with one other medium sized competitor and many small competitors.
Most of the Company's business is done on a bid or request for proposal basis.
Much of the federal systems work is on a cost plus basis and is subject to
audit.
General Information
- -------------------
The Company purchases most of the parts and raw materials used in its products
from various suppliers. The primary raw materials used in the manufacturing of
Norment's, Quanta Systems' and DCS' products are electronic components and steel
or aluminum sheets, stampings and castings. These materials are generally
available from a number of different suppliers. While the bulk of such raw
material is purchased from relatively few sources of supply, the Company
believes that alternative sources are readily available.
There is no significant seasonality in CompuDyne's business.
The Company's backlog of orders as of December 31, 1999 was $100.3 million
compared to $80.4 million as of December 31, 1998. Backlog for Corrections was
$78.4 million at December 31, 1999 compared with $69.6 million at December 31,
1998. Attack protection had $15.4 million in backlog at December 31, 1999
compared with $6.8 million at December 31, 1998 and Federal Systems had $6.5
million at December 31, 1999 compared with $4.0 million at December 31, 1998.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, direct sales to the U.S. Government
amounted to $10.9 million or 10% of the Company's total net sales compared with
$7.8 million and $9.3 million in fiscal years 1998 and 1997, respectively, or
24% and 47% of the Company's total net sales. No other single customer
accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net sales.
The Company undertakes research and development activities at DCS to expand and
improve its product lines. Research and development expenditures were $80
thousand during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, compared with $169
thousand and $172 thousand during 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1999,
expenditures were made by DCS to upgrade and expand the capabilities of its
products.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had 632 permanent employees. None of the
permanent employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. NSG
regularly hires union personnel on a temporary basis for field projects. These
personnel are subject to various collective bargaining agreements depending on
their skills and locale. At December 31, 1999, 110 of these employees were
covered under collective bargaining agreements.
Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------
Subsequent to December 31, 1999 and to date, the Company has not had any adverse
effects to its systems or operations resulting from the Year 2000 issue. As a
result, there has been no need to implement any Year 2000 contingency plans.
Additionally, to date, no customers, vendors, or service providers have informed
the Company that the Year 2000 issue has impacted them. Although no Year 2000
issues have impacted the Company, management intends to continue monitoring its
critical systems so that identification of any Year 2000 issues that may occur
will be identified and remedied on a timely basis.
Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Export sales for the Company were $7.5 million, $2.5 million and $257 thousand,
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Any statements in this annual report that are not statements of historical fact
are forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of important risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Specifically, any forward-looking statements in this annual report related to
the Company's objectives of future growth, profitability and financial returns
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited
to, risks related to a growing market demand for the Company's existing and new
products, continued growth in sales and market share of the Company's products,
pricing, market acceptance of existing and new products, general economic
conditions, competitive products, and product and technology development. There
can be no assurance that such objectives will be achieved.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company occupies its principal executive offices adjacent to Baltimore
Washington International Airport in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company leases
approximately 3,200 square feet of office space.
As of March 1, 2000 Corrections leased primary facilities for engineering,
assembly and administration including Alabama - 55,875 square feet, California -
15,795 square feet, Colorado - 15,378 square feet, Oregon - 10,815 square feet,
Maryland - 9,500 square feet, Arizona - 4,000 square feet, North Carolina -
2,000 square feet and South Carolina - 1,800 square feet.
As of March 1, 2000 Attack Protection owned primary facilities for engineering,
manufacturing and administration in Alabama - 100,703 square feet. This
facility is encumbered by the Industrial Revenue Bond.
As of March 1, 2000 Federal Systems leased primary facilities for engineering,
assembly and administration in Maryland - 23,090 square feet.
(1) See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information relating to lease expense and commitments.
The Company leases only those properties necessary to conduct its business and
does not invest in real estate or interests in real estate on a speculative
basis. The Company believes that its current properties are suitable and
adequate for its current operations, however; as its operations grow, additional
space may be required to service contracts in other areas.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to certain legal actions and inquiries for environmental
and other matters resulting from the normal course of business. Although the
total amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained,
management of the Company believes that any resulting liability should not have
a material effect on its financial position, results of future operations or
cash flows.
The Company has been served over the past several years with a number of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania lawsuits involving asbestosis related personal
injury and death claims in which York-Shipley, Inc. and/or CompuDyne Corporation
and/or CompuDyne, Inc. is a defendant. The complaints against CompuDyne, Inc.
have been referred to the trustee in bankruptcy for CompuDyne, Inc. The Company
itself has been named as a defendant more frequently in 1998 and 1999 in New
York state litigation and has advised its insurers of each of these cases for
which the insurers are providing a defense pursuant to agreement with the
Company, subject to reservation of rights by the insurer. The insurers have
advised that claims in such litigation for punitive damages and intentional
conduct are not covered. The Company cannot ascertain the total amount of
potential liability with respect to these matters, but does not believe that any
such liability should have a material effect on its financial position, future
operations or future cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Long-term debt was $17.4 million and the current portion of long-term debt was
$2.3 million at December 31, 1999 compared with long-term debt of $19.4 million
and current portion of long-term debt of $1.1 million at December 31, 1998.
During 1999 the Company paid down its long-term debt by $2.1 million and
incurred additional long-term debt of $1.1 million for the purchase of
CorrLogic. Working capital decreased from $18.8 million at December 31, 1998 to
$16.1 million at December 31, 1999.
During 1999 CompuDyne had net income of $2.7 million compared with $847 thousand
in 1998. The results for 1999 included twelve months of operating results for
Norment and Norshield whereas 1998 included only one month since they were
acquired in November 1998.
Results of Operations 1999 Compared with 1998
- ---------------------------------------------
CompuDyne's net sales increased $78 million (244%) from $32 million in 1998 to
$111 million in 1999. The Norment Security Group accounted for the largest part
of this increase. Sales in the Corrections group were $82 million in 1999, up
$66 million or 413% from $16 million in 1998. Norment accounted for $57
million, the largest portion of this increase. Norment only operated one month
in 1998 compared with twelve months in 1999, since it was acquired on November
28, 1998. CorrLogic had incremental sales of $4.6 million, since it was
acquired in May of 1999. Attack Protection Group accounted for $13.8 million of
the increase with sales of $15.1 million in 1999 compared with $1.3 million in
1998. The Attack Protection Group also operated twelve months in 1999 compared
with one month in 1998, since it was acquired on November 28, 1998. The Federal
Systems Group's sales increased from $12.5 million in 1998 to $13.2 million in
1999, an increase of $618 thousand. Sales at Micro Assembly were down $1.1
million in 1999, to $670 thousand from $1.8 million in 1998. The assets of
Micro Assembly were sold on May 31, 1999 and therefore it only operated for five
months in 1999 compared with twelve months in 1998.
CompuDyne's gross margin was $21.4 million in 1999, up $15.3 million from $6.1
million in 1998. The Corrections Group's gross margin increased $12.7 million
to $16.1 million in 1999, from $3.4 million in 1998. Norment had an increase of
$8.3 million in 1999 to $9.7 million, up from $1.4 million in 1998. This
reflected operations for twelve months in 1999 compared with one month in 1998.
The Attack Protection Group's gross margin increased $3.0 million in 1999 to
$3.3 million, up from $313 thousand in 1998. This also reflects twelve months
of operation in 1999 compared with one month in 1998. CorrLogic had an
incremental margin of $2.3 million since it was acquired on May 31, 1999. The
Federal Systems group had a decrease in gross margin of $79 thousand from $1.9
million in 1998 to $1.8 million in 1999. MicroAssembly had a $310 thousand
decrease in gross margin decreasing from $462 thousand in 1998 to $152 thousand
in 1999. This reflects operating only five months in 1999 compared with twelve
months in 1998.
CompuDyne's selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.8 million
at CompuDyne in 1999, up from $4.4 million in 1998 to $15.2 million in 1999. In
the Corrections Group, the selling, general and administrative expenses
increased from $2.3 million in 1998 to $11.2 million in 1999, an increase of
$8.9 million. The largest part of this increase was from Norment's operations.
It had an increase of $5.3 million, up from $874 thousand in 1998 to $6.2
million in 1999. Norment only operated one month in 1998 compared with twelve
months in 1999, since it was acquired on November 28, 1998. CorrLogic also had
an additional $2.3 million of selling, general and administrative costs in
1999. These costs were incremental since it was acquired on May 30, 1999.
The Attack Protection Group had an increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses of $1.5 million to $1.8 million in 1999, up from $278
thousand in 1998. This increase is a result of twelve months of operations in
1999 compared with one month in 1998, since its acquisition on November 28,
1998. The Federal Systems group had a decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses of $86 thousand, down to $717 thousand in 1999 compared
with $803 thousand in 1998. MicroAssembly's selling, general and administrative
expense was $148 thousand in 1999, down $264 thousand from $412 thousand in
1998. This reflects operations of only five months in 1999 compared with twelve
months in 1998. CompuDyne's corporate selling general and administrative
expense increased from $634 thousand in 1998 to $1.4 million in 1999, an
increase of $753 thousand.
Research and Development costs related to Quanta System's DCS division were $80
thousand in 1999, down $89 thousand from $169 thousand in 1998. The $80
thousand was used to upgrade and expand the capabilities of its equipment.
Interest expense in 1999 was $2.2 million, up $1.9 million from $295 thousand in
1998. This increase was due to expanded borrowings to finance the acquisition
of Norment/Norshield.
CompuDyne operating income increased $4.5 million in 1999 to $6.0 million, up
from $1.5 million in 1998. The Corrections Group had operating income of $4.9
million in 1999, up $3.8 million from $1.1 million in 1998. The largest portion
of this increase was from Norment, which had an increase in operating income of
$3 million from $500 thousand in 1998 to $3.5 million in 1999. This reflects
operations for twelve months in 1999 compared with only one month in 1998 since
Norment was acquired on November 28, 1998. The Attack Protection Group had
operating income of $1.5 million in 1999. This was an increase of $1.5 million
from $34 thousand in 1998. This reflects operations for a full twelve
months in 1999 compared with only one month's operations in 1998. Operating
income for the Federal Systems Group increased $96 thousand in 1999, up from
$920 thousand in 1998 to $1.0 million in 1999.
Results of Operations 1998 Compared with 1997
- ---------------------------------------------
The following discussion has been changed since it was previously issued, in
order to conform to the new operating segments as defined in 1999.
CompuDyne's net sales increased from $20.0 million in 1997 to $32.0 million in
1998, an increase of $11.9 million. Sales in Corrections accounted for $10.1
million of the total increase with sales of $16.3 million in 1998 compared with
$6.2 million in 1997. Quanta SecurSystems, Inc. ("SecurSystems") had an
increase of $4.3 million and Norment had an increase of $5.6 million. These
sales are incremental since Norment was acquired in November 1998. Attack
Protection had net sales of $1.3 million in 1998, which was incremental since it
was also acquired in November 1998. Federal Systems had net sales of $12.5
million in 1998, a $505 thousand increase over $12.0 million in 1997.
CompuDyne's gross margin increased $2.8 million to $6.1 million in 1998 up from
$3.3 million in 1997. Corrections accounted for $2.3 million of this increase,
$865 thousand at SecurSystems and $1.4 million at Norment, which was
incremental. Attack Protection contributed $313 thousand to the total increase,
which was also incremental. Federal Systems accounted for an additional $256
thousand to the increase in gross margin. There was a $97 thousand decrease in
gross margin at MicroAssembly.
CompuDyne's selling, general and administrative costs increased $1.9 million, up
from $2.5 million in 1997 to $4.4 million in 1998.
Corrections added $1.1 million to the increase, $874 thousand of which was due
to the newly acquired Norment. The acquisition of the Attack Protection group
in November 1998 added an additional $278 thousand and the Federal Systems group
added $120 thousand to the increase.
Research and development costs, which related to Quanta Systems' DCS product
division were $169 thousand in 1998 compared with $172 thousand in 1997. The
costs in 1998 were expended to develop three new products.
Interest expense in 1998 totaled $295 thousand, an increase of $233 thousand
over the 1997 total of $62 thousand. This increase was due to the expanded
borrowings to finance the acquisition of Norment/Norshield.
CompuDyne's 1998 income from operations increased $928 thousand or 172% in 1998
to $21.5 million, up from $540 thousand in 1997. The Corrections group had
income of $1.1 million in 1998, up $1.2 million from a loss of $64 thousand in
1997. Attack Protection had incremental income of $34 thousand and the
Federal Systems group had income of $920 thousand in 1998, an increase of $139
thousand over $781 thousand in 1997.
Liquidity
- ----------
The Company's principal source of cash is from operating activities and bank
borrowings. The Company's primary requirement for financing is to carry
inventory, billed and unbilled receivables, the majority of which are due under
prime contracts with the United States Government, state and local governments
or subcontracts thereunder.
Net cash flows provided by operations was $4.5 million in 1999 compared with
$3.8 million in 1998. Net income increased from $847 thousand in 1998 to $2.7
million in 1999. Another effect on cash from operations is $1.5 million in
depreciation and amortization. Accounts receivable account for a net cash out
flow of $4.4 million whereas accounts payable represents $5.1 million of cash
flow. The net of billings in excess of costs and costs in excess of billings
totaled $2.4 million of cash received. A total of $1.4 million was realized on
the sale of the assets of MicroAssembly. The purchase of CIS required $1.2
million in cash. Capital expenditures included $2.1 million for an expansion at
Norment, $225 thousand for the accounting system at Norment and $1.5 million
for other normal capital expenditures. The Company repaid $4.1 million of
borrowings from long-term debt, of which $2.1 million was prepaid, and received
$2.1 million from an Industrial Revenue Bond issued for the expansion at
Norment.
CompuDyne entered into an Automatic Investment Service Agreement dated December
23, 1998 with LaSalle National Bank. This agreement allows LaSalle National
Bank to transfer funds over $100 thousand from the main CompuDyne account to an
investment account on a daily basis. The investment account earns interest at a
variable rate determined by the bank on a daily basis, based on the current days
market rate for commercial paper, less a spread for providing the service. The
experience to date has been an average interest rate earned of 4.4%.
Capital Resources
- -----------------
Capital expenditures totaled $3.6 million in 1999 compared with $432 thousand in
1998. The Company has projected spending up to $2.1 million for capital
expenditures in fiscal 2000. These projected expenditures includes $1.3 million
for the purchase of a new facility to house the Corporate headquarters and the
Northeast regional office of the Norment Security Group and $880 thousand for
normal asset purchases and replacements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard
- ------------------------------------
In July 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 accounted for
depending on the intended use of the derivative. This standard will be adopted
by the Company in the year 2001 and the Company has not determined what impact,
if any, this standard will have when it is adopted.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
- -------------------
CompuDyne used fixed and variable rate notes payable to finance its acquisition
of Norment/Norshield. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the
extent they provide for variable rates of interest, expose the Company to
interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from
changes in the LIBOR rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to the
borrowing under the Company's loan from LaSalle National Bank.
The information below summarizes CompuDyne's sensitivity to market risks
associated with fluctuations in interest rates as of December 31, 1999. To the
extent that the Company's financial instruments expose the Company to interest
rate risk, they are presented in the table below. The table presents principal
cash flows and related interest rates by year of maturity of the Company's notes
payable with variable rates of interest in effect at December 31, 1999. Note 8
to the consolidated financial statements contain descriptions of the Company's
notes payable and should be read in conjunction with the table below

The Company used a foreign exchange contract to partially hedge their exposure
to exchange rate risk related to one firmly committed sales contract. The
foreign exchange contract was entered into for non-trading purposes and was
matched to the underlying transaction and did not constitute speculative or
leveraged positions independent of this exposure. As most of this contract was
completed during 1999, no significant exchange risk exists as of December 31,
1999.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders of CompuDyne Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CompuDyne
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying
index at Item 14(a)(2). These consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CompuDyne Corporation and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to
the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- ----------------------------
Description of Business
CompuDyne operates in three general sectors of the security industry -
Corrections, Attack Protection and Federal Systems:
Corrections - CompuDyne's Norment Security Group ("NSG"), headquartered in
- ----------- Montgomery, AL, provides physical and electronic security products
and services primarily to the corrections industry (jails and prisons) and
secondarily to the courthouse, municipal and commercial markets. NSG operates
through the following subsidiaries and divisions:
Norment is a detention contractor, responsible for most installation work
on larger projects. Installation will involve hardline (steel security
doors, frames, locking devices, etc) and sophisticated electronic security
systems including software, electronics, touchscreens, CCTV, perimeter
alarm devices, etc.
TrenTech is an electronic security systems designer, manufacturer and
integrator. TrenTech integrates generally available products and software
as well as designing proprietary systems such as IDEAS and a video badging
system. TrenTech provides systems to Norment for installation.
Airteq , supplemented by Norshield manufacturing capacity, offers a
complete line of locks and locking devices to the corrections industry.
Long an industry leader and innovator in pneumatic locking technology,
AirTeq in January 2000 introduced an innovative new electromechanical
sliding device, which completes its product line.
NSG Regional Offices provide field level design, installation and
maintenance of both hardline (physical) and electronic security products.
Primary offices are in Hanover, MD, Raleigh, NC, Columbia, SC, Phoenix, AZ,
Tucson, AZ, Milwaukee, WI, and Livermore, CA. Smaller offices are located
in Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Combined, NSG is the country's largest supplier of physical and
electronic security products, integration services and maintenance for
jails, prisons and courthouses. Projects range from very small to as large
as $15-$20 million. Security maintenance outsourcing contracts range from
very small to over $1 million per year and provide for the routine
maintenance and emergency repair of sophisticated security control systems
and related equipment.
NSG also includes software based control products. CorrLogic develops,
installs and maintains the most robust and extensive software in the
industry for the management of inmates and other personnel and processes
within the courthouse, jail and prison environment. CorrLogic software is
designed to handle the country's largest jails, with recent installations
including Wayne County (Detroit), MI, Shelby County (Memphis), TN, and
Hennepin County (Minneapolis), MN. SYSCO has exclusive North American
rights to the PC-ADACS (Alarm and Distributed Access Control System)
software based system developed by Shorrock Electronics in England. SYSCO
also has a proprietary product, SecurLan, which is designed to provide
physical protection for Local Area Network conduits and cables for computer
networks.
Attack Protection - Norshield Security Products ("Norshield") is the country's
- ----------------- largest manufacturer of bullet, blast and attack resistant
windows and doors designed for high security applications such as embassies,
courthouses, Federal Reserve buildings, and banks. Norshield's largest
customer is the U.S. Department of State, and Norshield is a major supplier
of bullet, blast and attack resistant product to U.S. Embassies around the
world. Norshield produces an integrated structurally secure product where the
rated protection comes not from just the glass but from the frame and encasement
as well. Norshield also manufactures bullet, blast and attack resistant products
on an Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") basis for a selected group of
corporate clients. Examples of Norshield commercial products include security
doors and windows,transaction accessories, cash drawers, guard and toll booths
and drive up windows. Norshield also manufactures cell door sliding devices for
sale under the Airteq brand.
Federal Systems - Quanta Systems, Inc., ("Quanta") has been serving the federal
- --------------- government's intelligence community since 1950. Serving the
military, government agencies, and state and local customers, Quanta provides
specialty engineering and security services, often of a classified nature. In
recent years Quanta has developed and emphasized a special competence in
physical and electronic security, which has become its primary focus. Quanta
along with its Data Control Systems division, ("DCS"), provides electronic black
box manufacturing, tactical systems integrations, and the design and production
of proprietary communications products.
MicroAssembly - Located in Willimantic, Connecticut, MicroAssembly is a
- ------------- manufacturer of a proprietary automated process called the
Stick-Screw System.All of the assets of MicroAssembly were sold on May 31, 1999
and MicroAssembly changed its name to 4 Focus, Inc..
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
- --------------------------- accounts of CompuDyne Corporation and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All material inter-company
transactions have been eliminated.
Inventories - Raw material inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
- ----------- market. Work-in-process represents direct labor, materials and
overhead incurred on products not yet delivered. Finished goods are valued
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method. Inventories are net of an obsolesence reserve of $166 thousand
and $313 thousand as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
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 contracts accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue under cost reimbursement contracts is recognized
- ------------------- to the extent of costs incurred to date plus a
proportionate amount of the fee earned. Revenue under time and materials
contracts are recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered
plus materials expenses incurred. Revenue from fixed price contracts is
recognized under the percentage of completion method. Revenue from the sale
of manufactured products is recognized based on shipment date. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in the period 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 certain contracts.
Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are recorded at
- ----------------------------- cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is computed using principally the straight-line
method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated
useful lives are as follows:
Buildings and improvements 7-39 years
Machinery and equipment 3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-10 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the
term of the underlying lease, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repair
costs are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
Capitalized Software - The Company has capitalized software that was acquired
- -------------------- when it purchased CorrLogic in 1999. The value allocated
resulting from the purchase was $1.6 million. The software is the base product
used in its sales product and is being amortized over 7 years. Accumulated
amortization was $183 thousand at December 31, 1999.
Goodwill - In conjunction with the purchase of the assets of Ackley Dornbach in
- -------- 1999, goodwill has been recorded on the balance sheet and is being
amortized over 25 years. Accumulated amortization was $6 thousand as of
December 31, 1999. Goodwill also includes credit for negative goodwill recorded
due to the acquisition of SecurSystems and is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 5 years. Accumulated amortization was $(72) thousand and ($51)
thousand at December 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
Other Intangible Assets - Other tangible assets consist primarily of amounts
- ----------------------- recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of Norment
and Norshield, including trade names, trademarks, Department of State
Certifications, UL listings, patents and ASTM standards. These are amortized on
a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 25 years. Accumulated
amortization was $124 thousand and $14 thousand as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
- ------------------------- Company considers temporary investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes - The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,
- ------------ ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS 109,
deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences of
differences between tax bases of assets and liabilities and financial reporting
amounts, based upon enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the
periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable
for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company continues to account for stock-based
- ------------------------ compensation using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock
Issued to Employees", ("APB No. 25") for the recognition and measurement of
employees stock-based compensation and has adopted only the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation",
("SFAS No. 123").
New Accounting Pronouncement - In July 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
- ---------------------------- Board, ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", ("SFAS No. 133"), 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 accounted for depending on the intended use of the
derivative. SFAS No. 133 will be adopted by the Company in the year 2001 and
the Company has not determined what impact, if any, this standard will have when
it is adopted.
Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
- ----------------- to the current year presentation.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." This Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share on the face of the income statement. Basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. Options to purchase 122,302 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $7.38 to $8.75 per share were outstanding during 1999 but were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for 1999
because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price
of the common shares. Options to purchase 303,000 shares of common stock at
$4.31 and warrants to purchase 297,924 shares of common stock at $3.25 were
outstanding during 1998 but were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per common share because the exercise price was greater than the
average market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 53,050 shares of
common stock at $2.81 were outstanding during 1997 but were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per common share for 1997 because the options'
exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.
The following is a reconciliation of the amounts used in calculating basic and
diluted earnings per common share:

line of credit which allowed borrowings against eligible accounts receivable.
Of this line, $2.1 million was used for a letter of credit to secure the
Industrial Revenue Bond used for the expansion of the Norment/Norshield
operations.
9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Long-Term Debt - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
approximate fair value as the amounts are at rates and terms available to the
Company at December 31, 1999 and 1998 for borrowings for similar transactions.
Rate Swap Agreement - The Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement on December 15, 1999 to limit the effect of increases in the interest
rates on the floating rate of the term note. The differential is accrued as
interest rates change and is recorded in interest expense. The effect of this
agreement is to limit the interest rate exposure to 7.55% on $6.75 million of
the Company's term loan. The fair value as of December 31 ,1999 and 1998 as
estimated by dealers was a favorable $202 thousand and $3 thousand,
respectively.
Foreign Exchange Contract - The Company entered into a foreign exchange
contract in December 1998 and estimates its fair value to approximate its cost
at December 31, 1999 and 1998

At December 31, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries have net operating loss
carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $28
million, subject to certain severe limitations. These carry-forwards expire
between 2000 and 2009. The utilization of substantially all of these tax loss
carry-forwards is limited to approximately $200 thousand each year as a result
of the ownership change, which occurred in 1995. The Company also has carry-
forwards available for alternative minimum tax purposes, which do not differ
significantly from regular net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company also
has research and development tax credits of approximately $459 thousand expiring
between 1999 and 2003.
11. COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has various stock option plans. Under these plans, options to
purchase common stock may be granted until 2006. Options generally are granted
at fair market value at the date of grant, are exercisable from 1 to 5 years
from the date of grant, and expire 10 years after the date of grant. The plans
permit the issuance of either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock
options. Under all plans, there were 524,898 shares of common stock reserved
for future grants as of December 31, 1999. Transactions are summarized as

As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to account for its
employee stock-based compensation plans and options granted under APB No. 25. No
compensation expense has been recognized in connection with options, as all
significant options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair
value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company has
provided below the additional disclosures specified in SFAS No. 123 for 1999
and 1998. For SFAS No. 123 purposes, the fair value of each option grant has
been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate
of 6.00%, expected life of 10 years, dividend rate of zero percent and expected
volatility of 109%. Using these assumptions, the fair value of the stock
options granted in 1999, 1998 and 1997 is $1,200,000, $2,700,000 and $0,
respectively, which would be amortized as compensation expense over the vesting
period of the options. Had compensation expense been determined consistent with
SFAS No. 123, utilizing the assumptions detailed above, the Company's net income
and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
</TABLE>

Earnings per share:
As reported $ 0.51 $ 0.20 $ 0.23
Pro forma $ 0.45 $ 0.18 $ 0.23
</TABLE>
The resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that
expected in future years.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has established a non-qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan in
October, 1999, the terms of which allow for qualified employees (as defined) to
participate in the purchase of designated shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company matches at a rate of 15% of the employee purchase at the market
value of the common stock for the monthly purchase period. The Company bought
and distributed 4,466 shares of common stock during fiscal 1999 pursuant
to this plan at an average price of $8.6317 per share.
The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan covering all employees. All
employees are eligible to participate in the plan after completing one year of
service. Participants may make before tax contributions of up to 15% of their
annual compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. CompuDyne
currently matches 30% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 6% of annual
earnings for all Norment/Norshield employees enrolled in the plan. CompuDyne
currently matches employee contributions up to the first 2.5% contributed for
all other employees enrolled in the plan. Expense for matching contributions to
the Plan was $245 thousand, $128 thousand and $114 thousand for 1999, 1998, and
1997, respectively.
The Company established a money purchase pension plan covering salaried
Norment/Norshield employees. All salaried Norment/Norshield employees are
eligible to participate in the plan after one year of service. The Company
makes annual contributions of 3% of annual compensation for employees with less
than 10 years of service, 4% for 10 to 20 years of service and 5% for 20 years
or more of service. Expense related to this plan was $246 thousand in 1999 and
$24 thousand in 1998.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are obligated as lessees under
various operating leases for office, distribution, manufacturing and storage
facilities.
As of December 31, 1999, future minimum rental payments required under operating
leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable terms in excess of one year
are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>
Rental expense was $1.1 million, $542 thousand and $452 thousand in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively.
The Company is party to certain legal actions and inquiries for environmental
and other matters resulting from the normal course of business. Although the
total amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained,
management of the Company believes that any resulting liability will not have a
material effect on its financial position or results of future operations.
14. KOLUX PENSION PLAN
In March 1987, the Company ceased its Kolux plant operations resulting in a
curtailment of the defined benefit pension plan covering certain plant
employees.

In February 2000, the Company purchased an annuity contract to cover the
plan's vested benefits. The purchase of the annuity is irrevocable and relieves
the Company of primary responsibility for pension plan obligations and
eliminates significant risks related to the obligation and the assets used to
effect settlements. The annuity contract cost $848 thousand and the net pension
plan obligation was $808 thousand at the time the annuity was purchased.
15. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 defines
"operating segments" to be those components of a business about which separate
financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by management in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. SFAS No. 131
further requires that the segment information presented be consistent with the
basis and manner in which management internally desegregates financial
information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions.
During 1999, the Company changed the structure of its internal organization in a
manner that caused the composition of its reportable segments to change.
Accordingly, the Company has restated the corresponding items of segment
information for earlier periods.
The following segment information includes operating information for CompuDyne's
three operating segments, Corrections, Attack Protection, Federal Systems in
addition to Corporate activities for the three years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997. Also included is operating information from MicroAssembly's
Stick-Screw product sales during the period from January 1, 1999 to May 31, 1999
(date of disposal) and years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, Norment
(Corrections segment) and Norshield (Attack Protection segment), are included
since their date of acquisition, November 28, 1998 Ackley Dornbach, Inc.
(Corrections segment) and since its date of acquisition, November 12, 1999, and
CorrLogic (Corrections segment) since its date of acquisition, April 30, 1999.

16. FOREIGN CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE CONTRACT
The Company had a long-term contract in South Africa which required payments to
the Company in South African rand. The Company had entered into a foreign
exchange contract to hedge its risk in converting rands into U.S. dollars. The
foreign currency exchange contract entered into expires on April 18, 2000 and
required the Company to convert approximately 15,600,000 rand to U.S. dollars at
rates ranging from 5.9 to 7.0. Gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of foreign receivables
and payables, are included in the consolidated statement of operations. As most
of this contract was completed during 1999, no significant exchange risk exists
at December 31, 1999.
