                     VICON INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  June 30, 1999


Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and the  instructions  to Form  10-Q and  Rule  10-01 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they  do not  include  all 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 have
been included. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended  September 30, 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.

Note 2:  Earnings per Share

In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
"Earnings  per  Share" the  Company is  required  to present  basic and  diluted
earnings per share (EPS).  Basic EPS are computed based on the weighted  average
number of shares  outstanding  for the  period.  Diluted EPS reflect the maximum
dilution  that  would have  resulted  from the  exercise  of stock  options  and
incremental  shares  issuable  under  a  deferred  compensation  agreement.  The
following  table provides the  components of the basic and diluted  earnings per
share (EPS)  computations  for the three month and nine month periods ended June
30, 1999 and 1998:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with June 30, 1998


Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999  increased  $3.4 million or 21% to
$19.5  million  compared  with $16.1  million in the year ago period.  The sales
growth was  experienced  in the U.S. as sales  increased  $3.7 million or 31% to
$15.4 million principally as a result of systems and components supplied under a
contract with the U.S. Postal Service.  International sales declined $.3 million
or 6% to $4.1 million due to lower sales to a European private label reseller.

Gross profit  margins for the third quarter of 1999  increased to 33.9% compared
with 33.8% in the year ago period.  The margin  improvement  was  primarily  the
result of greater fixed cost absorption associated with the sales growth.

Operating  expenses for the third  quarter of 1999 were $4.4 million or 22.6% of
net  sales  compared  with  $3.6  million  or 22.2% of net sales in the year ago
period.  The  increase was  principally  the result of higher  selling  expenses
associated with the sales growth.

Operating  income  increased  to $2.2  million  for the  third  quarter  of 1999
compared  with $1.9  million in the year ago period  principally  as a result of
increased sales.

Interest expense decreased $104,000 to $143,000 for the third quarter of 1999 as
$9.0  million  of  interest-bearing  debt was  repaid  in May 1998  with the net
proceeds from a secondary stock offering.

Income tax expense was  $760,000  for the third  quarter of 1999  compared  with
$75,000 in the year ago period.  The current period reflects a normal income tax
provision  whereas U.S. taxable income in the year ago period was  substantially
reduced  by the  utilization  of  federal  and  state  net  operating  tax  loss
carryforwards.

As a result of the foregoing,  net income was $1.3 million for the third quarter
of 1999,  down  $229,000  from the year ago  period.  However,  periods  in 1998
benefitted  from the utilization of net operating tax loss  carryforwards  which
affect the comparability of operating results.  Assuming the year ago period had
incurred income taxes at the same effective tax rate as the current year period,
net income for the third  quarter of 1998 would have been $1.1 million ($.25 per
share diluted)  compared with $1.3 million ($.28 per share diluted) reported for
the third quarter of 1999.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with June 30, 1998


Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1999  increased $8.4 million or 18%
to $54.1 million  compared with $45.7 million in the year ago period.  The sales
growth was  experienced in the U.S. as sales  increased  $11.2 million or 36% to
$42.4 million principally as a result of systems and components supplied under a
contract with the U.S. Postal Service. International sales declined $2.8 million
or 19% to $11.7 million due principally to lower sales in Asia and to a European
private label reseller. The backlog of unfilled orders was $13.3 million at June
30, 1999 compared with $11.4 million at June 30, 1998.

Gross  profit  margins  for the first  nine  months of 1999  increased  to 33.5%
compared with 32.6% in the year ago period. The margin improvement was primarily
the result of a favorable sales mix, lower  procurement  costs and greater fixed
cost absorption associated with the sales growth.

Operating expenses for the first nine months of 1999 were $12.2 million or 22.5%
of net sales  compared  with $10.0 million or 21.9% of net sales in the year ago
period.  The  increase was  principally  the result of higher  selling  expenses
associated with the sales growth.

Operating  income  increased  to $5.9  million for the first nine months of 1999
compared  with $4.9  million in the year ago period  principally  as a result of
increased sales and higher gross margins.

Interest  expense  decreased  $495,000 to $446,000  for the first nine months of
1999 as $9.0  million of  interest-bearing  debt was repaid in May 1998 with the
net proceeds from a secondary stock offering.

Income tax expense  was $2 million  for the first nine  months of 1999  compared
with  $225,000 in the year ago  period.  The  current  period  reflects a normal
income tax  provision  whereas  U.S.  taxable  income in the year ago period was
substantially  reduced by the utilization of federal and state net operating tax
loss carryforwards.

As a result of the  foregoing,  net income was $3.6  million  for the first
nine months of 1999, down $170,000 from the year ago period. However, periods in
1998  benefitted  from the  utilization of net operating tax loss  carryforwards
which  affect the  comparability  of  operating  results.  Assuming the year ago
period had incurred  income taxes at the same  effective tax rate as the current
year  period,  net income for the first nine months of 1998 would have been $2.5
million  ($.70 per share  diluted)  compared  with $3.6 million  ($.76 per share
diluted) reported for the first nine months of 1999.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Net cash used in operating  activities was $.8 million for the first nine months
of 1999.  Net income for the period of $3.6 million was offset by an increase in
inventory of $3.4 million to support new product  production  and an increase in
accounts  receivable  of $1.8 million due to increased  sales.  Net cash used in
investing  activities  was $.7  million  for the first  nine  months of 1999 due
principally to capital  expenditures  for office  equipment and expansion of the
Company's principal operating  facility.  Net cash used in financing  activities
was $.7 million for the first nine months of 1999 due primarily to the scheduled
repayments of bank term and mortgage loans.  As a result of the foregoing,  cash
decreased  by $2.3 million for the first nine months of 1999 after the effect of
exchange rate changes on cash.

The Company  maintains a $7.5 million  revolving  credit  facility with its bank
which  expires in July 2002,  with an option to  increase  the  facility to $9.5
million  at any time  through  July 2000.  Borrowings  under the  facility  bear
interest at the bank's prime rate minus 2% or, at the  Company's  option,  LIBOR
plus 90 basis points (5.75% and 6.14%, respectively,  at June 30, 1999). At June
30, 1999, there were no borrowings under this agreement.  The agreement contains
restrictive covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain
certain  levels of  earnings  and ratios of debt  service  coverage  and debt to
tangible net worth.

In addition,  the Company maintains a bank overdraft  facility of 600,000 Pounds
Sterling  (approximately  $948,000)  in the U.K.  to support  the local  working
capital requirements of its U.K. subsidiary.  At June 30, 1999, borrowings under
this facility were $572,000.

The Company  believes that cash from  operations and funds  available  under its
credit agreements will be sufficient to meet its anticipated operating,  capital
expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months.


Year 2000

The Company's  software-based products have been tested for year 2000 compliance
and the Company  believes  that such  products  are year 2000  compatible.  With
respect to its own computer  operating  systems,  the Company has  completed the
upgrade  of  its  principal  operating  computer  software  to the  most  recent
available  revisions  sold by its software  suppliers,  which the suppliers have
represented to be year 2000 compliant.  The Company  believes that such upgrades
will solve those year 2000 problems  that could affect its  operating  software.
The costs for such  upgrades  were not  material.  It is possible  that  certain
computer  systems or software  products of the Company's  customers or suppliers
may experience year 2000 problems and that such problems could adversely  affect
the  Company.  The  Company  is in the  process of  assessing  the status of its
principal  suppliers'  year 2000  readiness and their plans to address  problems
that their computer systems may face in correctly processing date information as
the year 2000 approaches.  However,  since the ultimate success of the Company's
customers and suppliers to become  compliant is largely outside of the Company's
control,  no  assurances  can be made that the Company will be unaffected by the
year 2000.

Should the Company's suppliers fail to achieve year 2000 compliance,  the supply
of product to the Company may be interrupted  resulting in possible lost revenue
to the Company due to its inability to supply finished product to its customers.
If such interruptions were prolonged, it could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.  The Company intends to consider  contingency  plans to address the
risk its principal suppliers will not be year 2000 compliant during fiscal 1999.

 Purpose:                      Currency Hedging
 Limit:                     o  We have adopted the mark to market methodology to

                               This enables risk to be measured on a basis
                               linked to current/future replacement costs rather
                               than a limit expressed in terms of maximum gross

                            o  Measured utilisation and availability will vary
                               with market movement
                            o  There is no  commitment on our part to enter into
                               any foreign exchange contract with you.
