                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
          ----------------------------------------------------

1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial
     statements include all adjustments (which consist of only normal, recurring
     accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position
     as of September 26, 1998, and the results of operations for the three
     months ended September 26, 1998 and September 27, 1997 and the cash flows
     for the three months ended September 26, 1998 and September 27, 1997. In
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
     financial information, these statements do not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete annual financial statements. Financial information
     as of June 27, 1998 has been derived from the audited consolidated
     financial statements of the Registrant. The results of operations and cash
     flows for the three months ended September 26, 1998 and September 27, 1997
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
     statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended June 27, 1998, included
     in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K.



2.   Inventories
     -----------

     The Company's inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using
the first-in, first-out method) or market.

     The components of inventories are as follows:

                                           Sept. 26,         June  27,

                                             ----               ----

3.   Net Loss per share
     ------------------

     Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
     shares Common outstanding for the period after deducting preferred dividend
     requirements including amortization of preferred stock discount. The
     average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the first quarter
     of fiscal 1999 is 2,080,408 as compared to 2,100,847 shares for the same
     period of fiscal 1998.


4.   Contingencies
     -------------

     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has conducted examinations of the
     Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1988 through 1993 and
     has proposed various adjustments to increase taxable income. The Company
     has agreed to certain adjustments and has previously recorded a provision
     for additional income tax and interest in the accompanying consolidated
     financial statements. Two issues remain unresolved, and the IRS has issued
     deficiency notices on these issues. The issues related to 1) the allocation
     of the Company's purchase price of assets from American Standard Inc. and
     2) the value of the Company's Series C preferred stock contributed to its
     ESOP.

     The Company allocated approximately $70 million of the purchase price of
     assets from American Standard to intangible assets which are being
     amortized over a period of generally 14 years. The IRS proposes to reduce
     this allocation to approximately $45 million and increase the amortization
     period to generally 45 years.

     In 1990 and 1993, the Company contributed to its ESOP, and claimed a tax
     deduction for, shares of Series C preferred stock having a value
     aggregating approximately $9.6 million. The IRS proposes to reduce this
     value to approximately $7.1 million.

     Previously the IRS had informed the Company that if their proposed
     adjustments are sustained, the Company would be liable for additional
     income taxes of approximately $3.7 million plus interest through 1993.
     However the IRS recently informed the Company that the additional income
     taxes, for which the Company would be liable, is approximately $4.1
     million. The Company would have a future tax liability of approximately
     $2.4 million for the same issues carrying forward into, as yet, unaudited
     years.

     Management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the adjustment
     proposed by the IRS and that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from
     this matter will have no material effect on the Company's consolidated
     financial position. The significance of this matter on the Company's future
     operating 

Page 9

     results depends on the level of future results of operations as well as on
     the timing and amount of the ultimate outcome. On December 9, 1994 and
     October 6, 1995, the Company filed a protest to the proposed adjustments of
     the IRS for the tax years ended June 1988 through June 1993. An informal
     initial conference with the Northeast Region office of the Internal Revenue
     Service was held on March 6, 1996. As a result of this meeting, letters
     were issued on April 10, 1996 and April 29, 1996, from the Internal Revenue
     Service Appeal Officer requesting additional information on several issues.
     On February 10, 1998 the Company met with the Internal Revenue Appeals
     Officer to provide additional information to support its position and to
     attempt to resolve the matter. No resolution was reached, and subsequent to
     that meeting the Company received a Final Deficiency Notice from the IRS.
     The Company filed an appeal with the U.S. Tax Court on July 13, 1998 of the
     statutory Notice of Deficiency. The Company expects the Tax Court to assign
     the briefing schedule within the next couple of months and further expects
     the Internal Revenue Service District Counsel to be in contact with the
     Company to begin their review as well as reinstate settlement discussions
     with the Company. The Company maintains its position that it has a
     meritorious defense to the adjustment, proposed by the IRS.

     The Company is involved in an audit by the Department of Labor ("DOL") of
     its Employee Stock Ownership Plan. On June 23, 1995, the Department of
     Labor issued an audit letter claiming the Company's Employee Stock
     Ownership Plan engaged in a prohibited transaction. Essentially, the DOL
     alleges that Series C Preferred Stock contributed to the Plan was not a
     proper investment since it was neither stock nor a qualified equity as
     required by ERISA. The Company has responded to the claim and intends to
     pursue the matter vigorously as it believes the Series C Preferred Stock is
     stock and, therefore, constitutes a proper investment for the Plan.

     Various lawsuits and claims arising during the normal course of business
     are pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
     liability, if any, resulting from these matters will have no significant
     effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
     operations or cash flows.



5.   Acquisition
     -----------

     On October 9, 1998 the Company purchased substantially all the assets of
     the LeFebure Division (LeFebure) of De La Rue Cash Systems Inc. and De La
     Rue Systems Americas Corporation (De La Rue). The total consideration paid
     by the Company was $34 million subject to a working capital adjustment to
     be paid within 90 days. LeFebure specializes in the manufacture,
     distribution and service of security equipment for financial institutions.

6.   Reclassification
     ----------------

     Certain prior year's data has been reclassified to conform to current
     presentation.



7.   Accounting Pronouncements
     -------------------------

     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" was issued in June 1997 and
     is effective for the Company's 1999 fiscal year. Reclassification of
     financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes
     is required. The statement requires that an enterprise classify items of
     other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and
     display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
     from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section
     of the balance sheet. Adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of
     fiscal 1999 was not material to the condensed consolidated financial
     statements.

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information," was issued in June 1997 and is effective for the Company's
     1999 fiscal year. In the initial year of application, comparative
     information for earlier years is to be restated. The statement requires
     that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive
     information about its reportable operating segments. Adoption of this new
     standard may result in additional financial statement disclosures.

     SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
     Postretirement Benefits," was issued in February 1998 and is effective for
     the Company's 1999 fiscal year. Disclosures for earlier periods provided
     for comparative purposes is required. The statement revises employer'
     disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Adoption
     of this new standard will result in additional financial statement
     disclosures.

Item 2            Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  ---------------------------------------
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                  ---------------------------------------------

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of
     Operations contains forward looking statements that are subject to risks
     and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the impact of competitive
     products and pricing, product demand and market acceptance, fluctuations in
     operating results and other risks detailed from time to time in the
     Company's fillings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



Result of Operations
- --------------------


Three Months Ended September 26, 1998 Compared to the
- -----------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended September 27, 1997
- -------------------------------------

Sales
- -----

     The Company's sales increased during the three months ended September 26,
     1998 by 9.5% to $57.4 million from $52.4 million. Service Sales decreased
     by 3.9% to $24.2 million from $25.2 million due to a decline in time and
     material sales of $1.1 million offset by an increase in service agreement
     revenue of $.1 million.

     Product net sales increased during the three months ended September 26,
     1998 by 21.9% to $33.1 million from $27.2 million. Electronic Security
     product sales increased by 69.6% to $16.1 million from $9.5 million.
     Physical Security product sales remained constant at $15.3 million.



Gross Profit
- ------------

     Gross profit decreased during the three months ended September 26, 1998 by
     5.8% percent. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 18.6% from
     21.7% for the three months ended September 26, 1998. Included in gross
     profit was a one time charge of $1.6 million associated with the future
     closing of the Company's Wayne, NJ manufacturing facility. The Company will
     outsource the 

Page 12


<PAGE>   13

     manufacturing of certain products produced in Wayne, while the remainder
     will be produced by it's newly acquired Mexico, MO manufacturing plant. It
     is expected that the Wayne facility will close during the Company's third
     quarter.



Selling and Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------------------

     Selling and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended
     September 26, 1998 by 3.8% to $9.1 million from $8.8 million for the three
     months ended September 27, 1997.


Operating Income
- ----------------

     The Company's operating income for the three months ended September 26,
     1998 decreased by 38.0% to $1.5 million from $2.4 million for the three
     months ended September 27, 1997. Included in operating income was a one
     time charge of $1.6 million associated with the future closing of the
     Company's Wayne, NJ manufacturing facility. The Company will outsource the
     manufacturing of certain products produced in Wayne, while the remainder
     will be produced by its newly acquired Mexico, MO manufacturing plant. It
     is expected that the Wayne facility will close during the Company's third
     quarter of fiscal 1999.


Debt Expense
- ------------

     Debt expense increased for the three months ended September 26, 1998 by
     25.9% to $5.6 million from $4.4 million. The increase was primarily due to
     higher interest costs on higher bank debt.


Net Loss
- --------

     Net loss before preferred stock charges increased by $2.0 million for the
     three months ended September 26, 1998 to $4.1 million from $2.1 million for
     the three months ended September 27, 1997. Included in net loss was a one
     time charge of $1.6 million associated with the future closing of the
     Company's Wayne, NJ manufacturing facility.

Inflation
- ---------

     The Company believes that its business is affected by inflation to
     approximately the same extent as the national economy. Generally, the
     Company has been able to offset the inflationary impact of wages and other
     costs through a combination of improved productivity, cost reduction
     programs and price increases. The Company has had difficulty in effecting
     significant price increases because of the discounting practices of its
     competitors.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     As more fully described in Item I, Note 5, the Company on October 9, 1998
     acquired substantially all the assets of the LeFebure division of De La Rue
     Cash Systems Inc. and De La Rue Systems Americas Corporation. Coincident
     with the acquisition the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with a
     group of lenders, led by Fleet National Bank, to finance the acquisition
     and provided working capital for operations. Under the terms of the
     Financing Agreement, a Credit facility was established at $85.0 million.
     The Company also agreed to certain financial covenants. The Company
     believes that this facility will provide adequate financial resources for
     its operations. Borrowing under the credit facility bears interest at LIBOR
     plus 2.625% or at the prime lending rate plus 1.625%.


     Cash used by operating activities was $1.8 million for the three months
     ended September 26, 1998 as compared to $5.9 million for the same period of
     fiscal 1998 for a favorable improvement of $4.1 million.


     The Company's capital expenditures were $.5 million for the first quarter
     of fiscal 1999 as compared to $.8 million in the previous year's first
     quarter. The Company anticipates capital expenditure for fiscal 1999 will
     be approximately $2.5 million.


     The Company currently makes cash contributions to the ESOP only to the
     extent necessary to fund the cash needs of the ESOP for payments to
     retired, terminated and deceased participants and for administrative
     expenses.

Year 2000
- ---------

     The Company is substantially complete with the process of conducting a
     comprehensive review of its key internal financial, information and
     operational systems to identify the systems that could be materially
     affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Company will be making appropriate
     modifications and conducting compliance testing on these systems. The
     Company believes that with modifications to, or replacement of, existing
     systems, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operating problems.
     Based upon current information, the costs of addressing internal problems
     are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's
     financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in future periods.
     Accordingly, the cost for Year 2000 problems will be funded through
     operating cash flows.

     The Company is currently engaged in assessing the capability of its
     products to handle the transition to and operate in the Year 2000.

     The Company is in the process of assessing the readiness of significant
     suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which the Company is
     vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000
     issues. The Company cannot guarantee that the systems of other companies
     will be converted in a timely manner, or the conversion or failure to
     convert systems, would not have an adverse material effect on the Company.
