NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and notes 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
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. The
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996
has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet
as of that date. The unaudited interim financial
information of Alarmguard Holdings, Inc. ("Alarmguard" or
the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements of Security
Systems Holdings, Inc.("SSH") as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 included in the Registration Statement of
Triton Group Ltd. on Form S-4 (File # 333-23307) filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 1997.
2. MERGER
On April 15, 1997, Triton Acquisition Corp. ("Merger
Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triton Group Ltd.
("Triton"), consummated a merger (the "Merger") with SSH
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December
23, 1996, as amended March 6, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"),
by and among Triton, Merger Sub and SSH. As a result of the
Merger, Merger Sub ceased to exist and SSH has continued as
the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. In addition, in connection with the Merger,
Triton effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split (the
"Reverse Stock Split").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and in consideration of
the Merger, SSH's preferred and common stockholders received
an aggregate of 2,877,321 new shares of common stock of
Triton, representing approximately 57% of the common stock
outstanding upon consummation of the Reverse Stock Split and
the Merger. Additionally, post-merger, the Company was
renamed Alarmguard Holdings, Inc., the common shares of
which are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange
under the symbol "AGD". As a result of the Merger,
Alarmguard's fiscal year end was changed to December 31 and
the Board of Directors of the Company was reconstituted to
include five representatives from SSH's Board of Directors
and two representatives from Triton's Board of Directors.
The Merger was accounted for as a "reverse acquisition"
such that Triton was designated the accounting acquiree and
SSH the accounting acquiror. As such, the net assets of
Triton (principally cash of approximately $15.0 million plus
other investments) were recorded at fair value and the pre-
Merger financial statements of SSH became the historical
financial statements of Alarmguard (formerly Triton).
Accordingly, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of September 30, 1997, SSH's pre-Merger stockholders'
deficiency and loss per common share have been retroactively
restated for the equivalent number of shares received by the
stockholders of SSH in the Merger, with differences between
the par values of Triton's common stock and SSH's common
stock recorded as an adjustment to paid-in-capital of
Alarmguard.
The pro forma net loss per common share and the pro forma
loss per common share before extraordinary items for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 give effect to the conversion of all SSH preferred
stock (including accrued dividends) and common stock into
Triton common stock as noted above. Accordingly, the pro
forma net loss per common share is calculated from the net
loss before the dividend requirement on the SSH preferred
stock ($200,000 and $513,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $172,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996). Such conversion
excludes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock
options due to their anti-dilutive effect. The pro forma
loss per common share for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1997 also give effect to common shares
issued in connection with the Company's two acquisitions
consummated during the first nine months of 1997 from the
respective dates of acquisitions (see Note 3). All share and
per share information herein has been retroactively restated
to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
3. ACQUISITIONS
On May 1, 1997, Alarmguard purchased all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Protective Alarms,
Inc. ("Protective Alarms"), for an initial purchase price of
$17.1 million. Up to $4.3 million in additional
consideration will be paid to the sellers of Protective
Alarms upon (i) the installation of certain national account
contracts pending on the closing date; and (ii) certain
other obligations being met during the year following the
closing of the acquisition, of which $0.4 million has been
paid through September 30, 1997. Approximately $1.9 million
of the amount potentially due to sellers is secured by a
cash collateralized letter of credit represented as
restricted cash at September 30, 1997. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price has been preliminarily
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. Protective Alarms was a security alarm system
company doing business primarily in Connecticut and
Westchester County, New York, that provided security
equipment and monitoring services to homeowners and
businesses. In addition, Protective Alarms engaged in
national account sales under the name "Pro National",
primarily in the Northeastern United States.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30,
1997, Alarmguard acquired certain operating assets of three
companies in the security alarm installation and monitoring
business for an aggregate of $1,985,000 in cash and up to
568,000 shares of Alarmguard common stock valued for the
purposes of the acquisitions at $3,812,000. The
acquisitions added approximately $191,000 of Monthly
Recurring Revenue ("MRR") and 2,900 customers. The
acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been
preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at
the respective dates of acquisition. In connection with the
acquisitions, Alarmguard received customer contracts of
$6,044,000, and other assets of $1,137,000 and assumed
current liabilities of $1,384,000, which was included in the
purchase price of the acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
Alarmguard acquired certain operating assets of three
companies in the security alarm installation and monitoring
business for an aggregate of $1,218,000 in cash and
$1,235,000 in notes payable to the sellers. The
acquisitions added approximately $80,000 of MRR and 3,800
customers. The acquisitions were accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase
price has been allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at
the respective dates of acquisition. In connection with the
acquisitions, Alarmguard received customer contracts of
$1,881,000, and other assets of $1,215,000 and assumed
current and long term liabilities of $643,000, which was
included in the purchase price of the acquisitions.
The results of operations of the acquired companies have
been included in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations from the respective dates of acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma information shows the
results of the Company's operations as though the
acquisitions consummated during the first nine months of
1996 had been made as of January 1, 1996 and as though the
acquisitions consummated during the first nine months of
1997 had been made as of January 1, 1996 and January 1,
1997:

of the respective periods or the results that may occur in
the future and do not give effect to cost savings which may
occur as a result of the consolidation of the acquired
companies.
The pro forma loss per common share gives effect to the
conversion of all preferred and common stock into Triton
Common Stock (see Note 2) and the common stock issued in two
acquisitions consummated during the first nine months of
1997.
4. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist principally of alarm components and
supplies which are carried at the lower of cost or market
value.
5. CUSTOMER INSTALLATION COSTS
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
Alarmguard incurred approximately $3,157,000 and $4,408,000,
respectively, in customer installation costs primarily
attributable to the operations of its direct marketing
program. Alarmguard added approximately 5,400 and 7,900
customers, respectively, through its direct marketing
program during these periods.

of certain assets held by Triton at the time of the Merger,
which are in the process of being liquidated.
(In thousands)
Ridgewood Hotels, Inc. Series A $2,009
Preferred Stock
Mission West Properties Common Stock 1,352
Other 236
-------
$3,597
=======
Alarmguard owns 450,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock of Ridgewood Hotels, Inc. ("Ridgewood") with a face
value of $3.6 million. Alarmguard currently receives a 10%
quarterly dividend of $90,000 on this investment and the
preferred stock is redeemable at any time by Ridgewood at
its face value plus accrued dividends. The preferred stock
is convertible by Alarmguard at any time into 1,350,000
Ridgewood common shares, which would represent approximately
47% of the Ridgewood common shares then outstanding, or 40%
fully diluted. Alarmguard accounts for the Ridgewood
investment using the cost method of accounting.
Alarmguard owns 676,050 common shares of Mission West
Properties ("Mission West"), a real estate company listed on
the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "MSW". On
August 5, 1997, Mission West shareholders approved the sale
of 6 million shares of newly issued common stock, at $0.15
per share, to a group of private investors, which
transaction closed on September 2, 1997. Additionally, the
Mission West Board of Directors declared a $3.30 per share
cash distribution which was paid on October 21, 1997.
Alarmguard's share of the distribution amounted to
approximately $2.2 million. The difference between the
carrying amount and the distribution amount will be adjusted
upon finalization of the accounting for the Merger. Prior to
the cash distribution, Alarmguard accounted for the Mission
West investment using the equity method of accounting.
Subsequent to the distribution, this was discontinued.
8. LONG TERM DEBT
Concurrent with the Merger, Alarmguard refinanced its
credit agreement existing at April 15, 1997 with a new
credit agreement. The new agreement provides for a two
year, $60 million, non-amortizing, revolving loan agreement
which converts to a five year term loan on April 30, 1999.
On September 30, 1997, outstanding borrowings under the
revolving credit facility were $46.9 million. During the
nine month period ending September 30, 1997, the Company
recognized an extraordinary loss of $0.8 million resulting
from the write-off of unamortized financing costs from the
former credit agreement and subordinated debt.
On August 22, 1997 the Company entered into an Amendment
to its existing revolving credit facility which allowed the
Company to increase its borrowing availability by $2.1
million in anticipation of the Mission West dividend of $2.2
million. The Amendment terminated upon receipt of the cash
dividend from Mission West on October 21, 1997.
On October 31, 1997 the Company entered into a three year
interest rate swap agreement at 8.84%. The Company fixed
$40 million out of $46.9 million outstanding under the
Company's revolving credit facility.
In connection with the Merger, Alarmguard refinanced its
subordinated debt with $4.6 million of newly issued
subordinated debt bearing interest at 15%. In addition,
Alarmguard issued warrants to purchase 215,939 shares of
Alarmguard Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.11 per
share which has been accounted for as a discount to the new
subordinated debt and is being amortized over the two year
life of the underlying debt instrument.
9. STOCK OPTIONS
On April 17, 1997, the Board of Directors issued 352,000
stock options to the senior management of Alarmguard which
vest over a four year period from the date of grant, 339,000
of which were outstanding as of September 30, 1997.
Additionally, three non-employee Directors were granted
10,000 options on similar terms. The exercise price for all
options granted was $7.50 per share which was the quoted
market value of the common stock at the date of grant.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company experiences routine litigation in the
normal course of its business. Management does not believe
that any pending or threatened litigation will have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
11. RECENT FASB PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is
required to be adopted as of December 31, 1997. At that
time, the Company will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate
all prior periods. Under the new requirements, primary
earnings per share will be replaced with basic earnings per
share. In computing basic earnings per share, the dilutive
effect of common stock equivalents will be excluded. The
impact of Statement No. 128 on the computation of the
Company's primary earnings per share (to be replaced with
basic earnings per share) and fully diluted earnings per
share is not expected to be material.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters in this section constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors which may cause the actual results of
Alarmguard Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Alarmguard") to
be materially different from historical results or from any
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. These factors are discussed under the caption
"Risk Factors" in a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File
No. 333-23307) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 14, 1997 ("Form S-4").
GENERAL OVERVIEW
For an overview of the Company's accounting policies, see
the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 which are
included in the Form S-4 mentioned above.
Alarmguard sells and installs burglar and fire alarm
systems and provides security monitoring services and
security system repair and maintenance services to
homeowners and businesses, principally in the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Alarmguard
provides its security alarm systems and services primarily
under its trademark "Alarmguard". As of September 30, 1997
Alarmguard had approximately $2.1 million of monthly
recurring revenue, approximately 60% of which was
residential and 40% of which was commercial.
On April 15, 1997 Triton Group Ltd. completed a merger
(the "Merger") with Security Systems Holdings, Inc. pursuant
to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 23, 1996,
as amended March 6, 1997. Additionally, post-merger, the
Company was renamed Alarmguard Holdings, Inc., the common
shares of which are listed for trading on the American Stock
Exchange under the symbol "AGD"(see note 2 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements).
Alarmguard's objective is to provide residential and
commercial security services to an increasing number of
subscribers. Alarmguard's growth strategy is to enhance its
position in the security alarm monitoring industry in the
Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States by increasing
the number and density of subscribers for whom it provides
services. Alarmguard is pursuing this strategy through a
balanced growth plan involving: (1) incorporating
acquisitions of portfolios of subscriber accounts in
existing and contiguous markets; (2) internal growth through
direct marketing to obtain new subscribers (the "Direct
Marketing Program"); (3) growth of Alarmguard's core
business through referrals and traditional local marketing;
and (4) new multi-locational commercial subscribers from its
National Accounts Program. Alarmguard believes that
increasing the number and density of its subscribers will
help it to achieve economies of scale and enhance results of
operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
Alarmguard acquired four companies in the security alarm
installation and monitoring business for an aggregate of
$19.1 million in cash and up to 568,000 shares of Alarmguard
common stock valued for purposes of the acquisitions at
$3,812,000. The acquisitions added approximately $600,000
of monthly recurring revenue and 13,000 customers.
KEY OPERATING MEASURES
The Company employs three internal measurements used to
assess the performance of operations: Adjusted EBITDA,
Monthly Recurring Revenue ("MRR")and Gross MRR Attrition.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding
Direct Marketing Program ("DMP") expenses incurred, net of
DMP revenues earned, to EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization"). This calculation
provides a basis for comparison of Alarmguard's results to
those of other security alarm companies that grow primarily
through the acquisition of subscriber accounts rather than
investing in internal growth programs. An amount similar to
adjusted EBITDA is used by lenders in extending credit to
Alarmguard. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows
from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
principals and should not be construed as an alternative to
net income. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $2.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a 61% increase.
Adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 million and $1.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

Monthly Recurring Revenue. MRR represents revenue that a
company in the security alarm industry is entitled to
receive under contracts (monitoring, leasing, and
maintenance) in effect at the end of such period. MRR is a
term commonly used in the security alarm industry as a
measure of the size of a company. It does not measure
profitability or performance, and does not include any
allowance for future subscriber attrition or uncollectible

Gross MRR Attrition. Gross MRR attrition has an adverse
effect on the Company's financial position and results of
operations, since it affects the Company's recurring
revenues. Gross MRR attrition, generally expressed on an
annualized basis, can be measured in terms of decreased MRR
resulting from canceled subscriber accounts. Gross MRR
attrition is defined by the Company for a particular period
as a quotient, the numerator of which is equal to gross MRR
lost as the result of canceled subscriber accounts during
such period and the denominator of which is the average
month-end MRR during such 12 month period. The following
table sets forth the Company's MRR additions, cancellations,
and gross MRR attrition for the periods indicated:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
REVENUE
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased $6.9 million, or 39% from the comparable period in
1996. This increase was primarily the result of a 40%
increase of recurring revenue to $15.4 million and a 35%
increase in installation revenue to $2.0 million. A
significant portion of the revenue growth was related to
acquisition activity in 1997.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased to $14.2 million, 58% of total
revenue, for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $10.5
million, 60% of total revenue, in the third quarter of 1996.
The decrease of gross profit as a percentage of total
revenue was primarily the result of several larger
installations which had lower gross profit margins than the
Company's traditional business.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expense for the first
nine months of 1997 increased approximately $2.3 million
over the comparable period in 1996. The increase was
primarily the result of staffing requirements at both the
operating and corporate level required to facilitate the
Company's growth plan and additional expenses of operating
as a public company, costs which were not incurred during
the first nine months of 1996. As a percent of total
revenue, selling, general and administrative expense for the
first nine months of 1997 decreased to 45% from 50% in the
comparable 1996 period, reflecting economies of scale
resulting from incremental revenue growth.
AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION
Amortization and depreciation for the first nine months of
1997 increased by approximately $2.9 million compared to the
same period in 1996. This increase was primarily the result
of a higher level of assets from increased acquisition
activity and increased customer installation costs.
OPERATING LOSS
The operating loss for the first nine months of 1997
increased to approximately $5.8 million from $4.2 million in
the comparable 1996 period. As a percent of total revenue,
the operating loss was 24% for the first nine months of 1997
and 1996.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 increased $1.2 million over
the comparable period in 1996. This increase was the result
of an increased outstanding balance under the Company's
revolving credit facility in the first nine months of 1997
compared to the first nine months of 1996, a higher interest
rate on the refinanced subordinated debt during the same
period, and amortization (over two years) of the fair value
of common stock warrants issued in conjunction with the
subordinated debt.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
REVENUE
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1997
increased $3.3 million, or 51%, from the comparable period
in 1996. This increase was primarily the result of a 58%
increase of recurring revenue to $6.1 million and a 39%
increase in installation revenue to $2.9 million. A
significant portion of the revenue growth was related to
acquisition activity in 1997.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased to $5.4 million, 56% of total
revenue, for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $3.7
million, 58% of total revenue, in the third quarter of 1996.
The decrease of gross profit as a percentage of total
revenue was primarily the result of several larger
installations which had lower gross profit margins than the
Company's traditional business.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expense for the third
quarter of 1997 increased approximately $1.0 million over
the comparable period in 1996. The increase was primarily
the result of staffing requirements at both the operating
and corporate level required to facilitate the Company's
growth plan and additional expenses of operating as a public
company, costs which were not incurred during the third
quarter of 1996. As a percent of total revenue, selling,
general and administrative expense for the third quarter of
1997 decreased to 42% from 47% in the comparable 1996
period, reflecting economies of scale resulting from
incremental revenue growth.
AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION
Amortization and depreciation for the third quarter of
1997 increased by approximately $1.2 million compared to the
same period in 1996. This increase was primarily the result
of increased acquisition activity and increased customer
installation costs.
OPERATING LOSS
The operating loss for the third quarter of 1997 increased
to approximately $1.9 million from $1.4 million in the
comparable 1996 period. As a percent of total revenue, the
operating loss decreased to 20% for the third quarter of
1997 compared to 22% for the same period in 1996. This
improvement reflects economies of scale resulting from
incremental revenues.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 increased approximately $0.5
million over the comparable period in 1996. This increase is
the result of an increased outstanding balance under the
Company's revolving credit facility in the third quarter of
1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996, a higher
interest rate on the refinanced subordinated debt during the
same period, and amortization (over two years) of the fair
value of common stock warrants issued in conjunction with
the subordinated debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources. Since May 1992, the Company has financed
its operations and growth from a combination of borrowings
under revolving credit facilities, issuance of subordinated
debentures, sales of its capital stock, the recently
completed Merger, and internally generated cash flows. The
Company's principal uses of cash are the costs associated
with the marketing and installation of DMP systems,
acquisitions of subscriber account portfolios, and interest
payments on borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
A substantial portion of the Company's future cash flow will
be used to fund the DMP and to service borrowings under the
revolving credit facility and other company debt. There can
be no assurance that the Company will continue to have the
ability to meet its borrowing requirements to fund its DMP
and acquisition strategies, among other things.
The Company entered into a new revolving credit facility
on April 15, 1997 providing for a two year, $60 million, non-
amortizing revolving loan agreement which converts to a five
year term loan. On August 22, 1997 the Company entered into
an Amendment to its revolving credit facility which allowed
the Company to increase its borrowing availability by $2.1
million in anticipation of the Mission West dividend
discussed below. The Amendment terminated upon receipt of
the cash dividend from Mission West on October 21, 1997. As
of September 30, 1997, the Company had $46.9 million
outstanding under the revolving credit facility with
approximately $2.0 million of availability. The Company's
ability to borrow against the unused portion of the
revolving credit facility is limited by certain financial
covenants, among other things.
On October 31, 1997 The Company entered into a three year
interest rate swap agreement at 8.84%. The Company fixed
$40 million out of $46.9 million outstanding under the
Company's revolving credit facility.
In connection with the Merger, Alarmguard refinanced its
subordinated debt with $4.6 million of newly issued
subordinated debt bearing interest at 15%. In addition,
Alarmguard issued warrants to purchase 215,939 shares of
Alarmguard Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.11 per
share which has been accounted for as a discount to the new
subordinated debt and is being amortized over the two year
life of the underlying debt instrument.
Additionally, the Company has a total of $6.3 million due
to sellers of previous acquisitions, a portion of which is
secured by various SSH notes and a letter of credit. A
portion of the amounts due to sellers requires the Company
to make periodic principal and interest payments.
The Company received a cash distribution of approximately
$2.2 million on October 21, 1997 from its minority
investment in 676,050 shares of common stock in Mission West
Properties. (See Note 7 to condensed consolidated financial
statements.)
The Company intends to continue to use cash flows from
operations, together with borrowings under the revolving
credit facility, to finance the addition of subscriber
accounts and capital expenditures. The planned $0.8 million
expansion of the Company's central station was started in
early November, 1997, and is expected to be completed by
January, 1998.
Additionally, the Company, depending on future needs and
the cost and availability of various financing alternatives,
may from time to time seek additional debt or equity
financing in the public or private markets in order to
support growth of subscriber accounts through acquisitions
and the DMP. In August 1997, the Company engaged an
investment bank to raise additional capital for the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.
If cash flows from operations and monetization of other
investments combined with borrowings under the revolving
credit facility and other borrowings are insufficient to
fund the Company's growth strategies, management would
curtail the DMP and implement a cost reduction strategy to
the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations.
Liquidity. During the first nine months of 1997 and 1996,
the Company's net cash used in operating activities was
approximately $4.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively.
The decrease was primarily the result of reduced DMP
installation costs, partially offset by working capital
changes.
During the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, the
Company's net cash used in investing activities was
approximately $6.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
This increase was primarily the result of larger
acquisitions in the first nine months of 1997 compared with
1996 which were partially offset by cash received in the
Merger.
During the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, the
Company's net cash provided by financing activities was
approximately $12.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively,
the increase of which was primarily the result of increased
borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
During the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, the
Company had net losses of approximately $9.9 million and
approximately $6.4 million, respectively. During the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had
net losses of approximately $3.1 million and approximately
$2.2 million, respectively. As the Company continues to
internally generate new subscriber accounts through its DMP
and to purchase subscriber accounts, or if the Company's
indebtedness increases or if interest rates increase, the
Company expects to continue to incur net losses for the
foreseeable future.
The Company has had, and expects to continue to have, a
working capital deficit. At September 30, 1997, the Company
had a working capital deficit of approximately $9.7 million.
There are two principal categories of current liabilities
that cause the Company to have a working capital deficit:
(i) "deferred revenue", which represents billings by the
Company in advance of services performed; and (ii) amounts
due to sellers, which represent the aggregate of a portion
of the purchase price of subscriber accounts which, if the
actual attrition rate exceeds the guaranteed rate at the end
of such 6 - 12 month holdback period, is applied to adjust
the effective purchase price downward.
Recent FASB Pronouncements. In February 1997, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted as
of December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute
earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under
the new requirements, primary earnings per share will be
replaced with basic earnings per share. In computing basic
earnings per share, the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents will be excluded. The impact of Statement No.
128 on the computation of the Company's primary earnings per
share (to be replaced with basic earnings per share) and
fully diluted earnings per share is not expected to be
material.
The Company is in the process of reviewing "Year 2000"
issues. Based on its review to date, it does not anticipate
incurring any significant costs associated with this issue.

Pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Term
Loan and Acquisition Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 1997
(as amended and in effect from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"), by and among Alarmguard, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with its chief executive office located at 125

the Lenders have severally agreed to make loans, advances and
other extensions of credit to the Borrower upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein, to be evidenced by
the Notes issued by the Borrower thereunder. In connection with
the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, and as a
condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make
their respective loans, advances and other extensions of credit
to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, Guarantor executed
and delivered a certain Guarantee Agreement dated as of April
15, 1997 to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders (the "Guarantee"). In addition, in order to secure
its obligations under the Guarantee, Guarantor executed and
delivered a certain Pledge Agreement dated as of April 15, 1997
in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders (the "Pledge Agreement").
Borrower, Guarantor, Security Systems Holdings, Inc., the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Documentation Agent
have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects
pursuant to a certain First Amendment to Second Amended and

Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to
induce the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the
Lenders to enter into the First Amendment and to induce the
Lenders to continue to make their respective loans to the
Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees
with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders as follows:
1. Guarantee. Guarantor hereby agrees, notwithstanding
the amendment of the Credit Agreement pursuant to the First
Amendment, that the Guarantee and its agreements, covenants,
obligations, representations and warranties thereunder and
therein, are hereby expressly ratified, confirmed, restated and,

mean the Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and
as such may be amended, extended, restated or renewed from time
to time in the future.
2. Pledge Agreement. Guarantor hereby agrees,

to the First Amendment, that the Pledge Agreement and its

ratified, confirmed, restated and, to the extent necessary,
amended as of the date hereof so that the term "Credit
Agreement," as used in the Pledge Agreement, shall mean the
Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and as such
may be amended, extended, restated or renewed from time to time.
In addition, the Pledge Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:
(a) Schedule 1 to the Pledge Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and Schedule 1 to this Agreement is
hereby substituted in lieu thereof as of the date hereof.

deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby substituted
in lieu thereof:
6. Cash Dividends: Voting Rights. Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the

to receive all cash dividends paid in the normal course of
business of the Issuer and consistent with past practice,
to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, in respect
of the Pledged Stock and to exercise all voting and
corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock,
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate
right exercised or other action taken which would impair

result in any violation of any provision of the Credit
Agreement, the Notes, the Other Documents or this Pledge
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgor
shall direct Mission West Properties to pay any cash
dividend to be paid to the Pledgor to the Administrative
