                     VICON INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
      NOTES TO (CONDENSED) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 March 31, 2000


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 six months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended  September 30, 2000. 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, 1999.  Certain prior
year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.


Note 2:  Earnings per Share

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings per Share"  requires  companies to present
basic and diluted  earnings per share (EPS).  Basic EPS is computed based on the
weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  for the  period.  Diluted  EPS
reflects  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 six month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

Note 4:   Segment and Related Information

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  About Segments of an Enterprise
and  Related  Information"  in fiscal  1999,  which  changes the way the Company
reports  information about its operating  segments.  The Company operates in one
industry which  encompasses the design,  manufacture,  assembly and marketing of
closed-circuit video systems and system components for the electronic protection
segment of the security  industry.  The Company  manages its  business  segments
primarily on a geographic basis. The Company's principal reportable segments are
comprised  of  its  United  States  (U.S.)  and  United   Kingdom  (U.K.)  based
operations.  Its U.S. based operations  consists of Vicon Industries,  Inc., the
Company's corporate  headquarters and principal operating entity. Its U.K. based
operations consist of Vicon Industries  Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary which
markets and distributes the Company's products  principally within Europe. Other
segments  include the  operations of Vicon  Industries  (H.K.) Ltd., a Hong Kong
based  majority owned  subsidiary  which markets and  distributes  the Company's
products  principally  within Hong Kong and mainland China, and TeleSite U.S.A.,
Inc. and subsidiary,  a U.S. and Israeli based  manufacturer  and distributor of
remote video surveillance systems.

The Company evaluates  performance and allocates resources based on, among other
things, the net profit for each segment,  which excludes  intersegment sales and
profits.  Segment  information  for the three month and six month  periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 was as follows:

Note 5:   Investment in Affiliate

The Company has a 30% ownership interest in Chun Shin Electronics, Inc. (CSE), a
South Korean company which  manufactures and assembles  certain of the Company's
products.  The  Company  has not  recognized  its  interest  in the  accumulated
earnings of CSE since it does not have any control over its  operations and does
not have the ability to repatriate any of its accumulated  earnings.  Net assets
of CSE were  approximately $3.3 million at September 30, 1999. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis."

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared with March 31, 1999


Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $17.4 million  compared with
$17.5 million in the year ago period.  Domestic sales  decreased $1.2 million or
9% to $12.6  million,  due in part to decreased  system sales  supplied  under a
contract  with the U.S.  Postal  Service.  International  sales  increased  $1.2
million or 32% to $4.8 million. Sales for the current quarter were affected by a
technical problem associated with a new product line as reported in the previous
quarter ended December 31, 1999.

Gross profit  margins for the second quarter of 2000 decreased to 32.3% compared
with  34.8% in the year ago period as a result of lower  selling  prices and the
effect of lower than anticipated sales to fixed production overhead.

Operating  expenses for the second quarter of 2000 were $5.1 million or 29.5% of
net  sales  compared  with  $4.2  million  or 23.8% of net sales in the year ago
period.  The  increase  in  operating  expenses  was  principally  the result of
additional sales, sales support and product development personnel.

Operating  income  decreased  to $.5  million  for the  second  quarter  of 2000
compared with $1.9 million in the year ago period principally as a result of the
decrease in gross profit and increase in operating expenses as discussed above.

Interest  expense  increased to $206,000 for the second quarter of 2000 compared
with $149,000 in the year ago period  principally  as a result of an increase in
bank borrowings.

Income tax expense was $101,000  for the second  quarter of 2000  compared  with
$650,000 in the year ago period.

As a result of the  foregoing,  net income  decreased to $186,000 for the second
quarter of 2000 compared with $1.2 million for the year ago period.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Results of Operations
Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared with March 31, 1999


Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2000  increased  $2.3 million or 7%
to $37.0 million  compared  with $34.6 million in the year ago period.  Domestic
sales for the first six months of 2000 were $27.5  million  compared  with $27.0
million in the prior year period.  International sales increased $2.0 million or
26% to $9.5  million.  The backlog of unfilled  orders was $8.9 million at March
31, 2000 compared with $14.0 million at March 31, 1999.

Gross  profit  margins  for the first  six  months  of 2000  decreased  to 29.8%
compared with 34.5% in the year ago period.  The margin decline was  principally
attributable  to a first  quarter  warranty  charge  of $1.3  million  for costs
incurred and estimated costs as a result of a technical problem  associated with
a new product line. In addition, margins were impacted by lower selling prices.

Operating  expenses for the first six months of 2000 were $10.3 million or 27.7%
of net sales  compared  with $8.2  million or 23.8% of net sales in the year ago
period.  The  increase  in  operating  expenses  was  principally  the result of
additional sales, sales support and product development personnel.

Operating  income  decreased  to $.8  million  for the first six  months of 2000
compared with $3.7 million in the year ago period  principally  as a result of a
decrease in gross profit  resulting  from the $1.3 million  warranty  charge and
increased operating expenses.

Interest expense increased to $372,000 for the first six months of 2000 compared
with $302,000 in the year ago period  principally  as a result of an increase in
bank borrowings.

Income tax expense was $147,000 for the first six months of 2000  compared  with
$1,285,000 in the year ago period.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased to $271,000 for the first six
months of 2000 compared with $2.2 million for the year ago period.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Financial Condition
- ---------------------------------

Net cash used in operating  activities was $3.7 million for the first six months
of 2000 due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of $2.4 million as a
result of a general slowdown in collections and an increase in inventory of $1.8
million  related to new  product  line  production.  Net cash used in  investing
activities was $1.0 million for the first six months of 2000 due  principally to
capital  expenditures  related  to  the  expansion  of the  Company's  principal
operating facility.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.9 million,
which  included $3.0 million of borrowings  under the Company's  U.S.  revolving
credit  agreement  and $1.2  million of  proceeds  from a mortgage  loan used to
finance the facility expansion. As a result of the foregoing,  cash decreased by
$.8  million  for the first  six  months of 2000  after  the  nominal  effect of
exchange rate changes on the cash position of the Company.

The Company  has a $9.5  million  revolving  credit  facility  with a bank which
expires in July 2002.  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
(7.00%  and  7.03%,  respectively,  at  March  31,  2000).  At March  31,  2000,
outstanding  borrowings  under this facility  were $3.0  million.  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.

The Company also maintains a bank overdraft  facility of 600,000 Pounds Sterling
(approximately  $1.0  million)  in the U.K.  to support  local  working  capital
requirements  of Vicon  Industries  Limited.  At  March  31,  2000,  outstanding
borrowings under this facility were approximately $644,000.

In October 1999, the Company entered into a $1.2 million mortgage loan agreement
with its bank to finance the expansion of its principal operating facility.  The
loan is payable in equal monthly  principal  installments  through January 2008,
with a $460,000  payment due at the end of the term.  The loan bears interest at
the bank's prime rate minus 160 basis points or, at the Company's option,  LIBOR
plus 100 basis  points  (7.40% and 7.13%,  respectively,  at March 31, 2000) and
contains the same covenants as included in the existing mortgage loans.

The Company  believes that cash flow 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.

Certain Related Party Transactions
- ----------------------------------

The  Company is  substantially  dependent  upon  certain  outside  suppliers  to
manufacture  and  assemble its  products.  During the six months ended March 31,
2000, approximately $3.0 million or 14% of the Company's purchases of components
and  finished  products  were  supplied  indirectly  from CSE, a 30% owned South
Korean  company (see Note 5). The Company has no control over the  operations of
CSE and its  relationship  with this  investee is  strictly  that of a buyer and
supplier dealing with each other at arm's length.  Although the Company believes
that the principal  portion of components and products  supplied by CSE could in
time be sourced through alternative suppliers at prices comparable to those paid
to CSE,  the  immediate  loss of CSE or any other  significant  supplier for any
reason would impair the Company's  ability to meet its  obligations to customers
and would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.


                                     -11-


<PAGE>


Gross profit margins attributable to sales of CSE sourced products are generally
comparable with the margins reported in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.


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  upgraded 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.  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.  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.

To date, the Company has not  encountered  any  significant  effects of the Year
2000 problem either  internally or with third  parties.  This does not guarantee
that problems will not occur in the future or have not yet been detected.
