                              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 24, 1999, and the results of operations for the three
     months ended September 24, 1999 and September 26, 1998 and the cash flows
     for the three months ended September 24, 1999 and September 26, 1998. 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 25, 1999 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 24, 1999 and September 26, 1998
     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 25, 1999, included
     in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year's data
     has been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

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:

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 2000 is 2,239,823 as compared to 2,080,408 shares for the same
     period of fiscal 1999.


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. The IRS has issued deficiency
     notices on these 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.

     In September 1999, the Company agreed to settle these issues with the IRS.
     Under the terms of the settlement, the Company will pay additional taxes of
     approximately $576,000 along with related interest of approximately
     $575,000. These amounts were accrued as of June 25, 1999. The Company will
     also, for tax purposes, reduce the allocated value of it intangibles to $45
     million and increase the amortization period to 17 years.

     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 acquired substantially all the assets and
     assumed substantially all the liabilities of the LeFebure Division of De La
     Rue Cash Systems Inc. ("LeFebure") for approximately $39 million. LeFebure
     specializes in the manufacture, distribution and service of security
     equipment for financial institutions. The acquisition of LeFebure has been
     accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The cost of the
     acquisition has been allocated on the basis of the fair market value of
     assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill of
     approximately $19 million which is being amortized over a period of 15
     years. The final allocation of the purchase price of LeFebure will be

Page 9


<PAGE>   10

     determined once all valuations and studies have been finalized, which is
     expected within one year from the date of acquisition. LeFebure's operating
     results are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations
     beginning on October 9, 1998.

     On August 23, 1999, as part of the Company's acquisition integration plan,
     management announced the shut down of LeFebure's Mexico, Missouri plant.
     The cost of this shut down of approximately $1.8 million, which includes
     fixed asset write-offs and severance costs, is recorded as an adjustment to
     the purchase price.

     The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended
     September 26, 1998 on a pro forma basis as though LeFebure had been
     acquired as of June 28,1998 are as follows ($000's except per share
     amount):

     Net sales                                                      $88,612
     Net loss                                                        (2,334)
     Net loss per share                                               (1.12)

     The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes
     only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would
     have occurred had the LeFebure acquisition been consummated as of the above
     date, nor are they indicative of future operating results.

6.   New Accounting Standards
     ------------------------

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities", as subsequently amended, is effective for the Company's 2001
     fiscal year. The statement revises the accounting for derivative
     instruments and requires, among other things, that all derivative
     instruments be recorded within the financial statements. The Company has
     not yet determined the impact of adopting this standard.


7.   Segment Information
     -------------------

     Since the Company's fiscal year 1999 financial statements, there have been
     no changes in reportable segments or the manner in which the Company
     determines reportable segments or measures segment profit or loss.
     Summarized segment information for the interim periods for fiscal year 2000
     and 1999 is as follows (000's):

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

     This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
     Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements include,
     without limitations, the Company's beliefs about trends in the Company's
     industries, and its views about the long-term future of these industries
     and the Company. The following factors, among others, could cause the
     Company's financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in
     such statements: (i) changes in consumer preferences resulting in a decline
     in the demand for product and service, (ii) the inability to reduce SG&A
     expenses as expected, (iii) an increase in the price of raw materials, (iv)
     political and/or economic instability in foreign countries where the
     Company has operations or has suppliers who supply the Company, (v) an
     unexpected increase in interest rates, (vi) a shift in strength of the
     overall U.S. economy thereby possibly reducing purchases, and, (vii)
     failure to remedy in a timely manner any Year 2000 issues that might arise.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------


Three Months Ended September 24, 1999 Compared to the
- -----------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended September 26, 1998
- -------------------------------------

Sales
- -----

     The Company's sales increased during the three months ended September 24,
     1999 by 19.7% to $68.7 million from $57.4 million. Service Sales increased
     by 52.9% to $37.0 million from $24.2 million. These increases are due
     principally to the acquisition of LeFebure in October 1998.

     Product net sales decreased during the three months ended September 24,
     1999 by 4.0% to $31.8 million from $33.1 million. Electronic Security
     product sales decreased by 16.8% to $13.4 million from $16.1 million. This
     decrease related to a reduction in the sales of Currency Handling
     equipment. Physical Security product sales increased by 11.8% to $17.1
     million from $15.3 million. This increase is attributable to the
     acquisition of LeFebure.

<PAGE>   13

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

     Gross profit increased during the three months ended September 24, 1999 by
     60.8% percent from $10.7 million to $17.2 million for the same period in
     the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 25.0%
     from 18.6% for the three months ended September 24, 1999, resulting
     principally from higher sales volumes and higher margins.

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

     Selling and administrative expense increased during the three months ended
     September 24, 1999 by 54.9% to $14.1 million from $9.1 million for the
     three months ended September 26, 1998. The increase is due to the need for
     more administrative and sales support resulting from the LeFebure
     acquisition.

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

     The Company's operating income for the three months ended September 24,
     1999 increased by 100% to $3.0 million from $1.5 million for the three
     months ended September 26, 1998. Included in operating income in 1998 was a
     one time charge of $1.6 million associated with the closing of the
     Company's Wayne, N. J. manufacturing facility. Included in 1999 operating
     income were transition costs associated with the acquisition of LeFebure
     amounting to approximately $700,000.

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

     Debt expense increased for the three months ended September 24, 1999 by
     30.4% to $7.3 million from $5.6 million. The increase was due to higher
     interest costs on higher bank debt primarily attributable to the LeFebure
     acquisition.

Net Loss
- --------

     Net loss before preferred stock charges increased by $0.2 million for the
     three months ended September 24, 1999 to $4.3 million from $4.1 million for
     the three months ended September 26, 1998.

<PAGE>   14


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 due to the competitive nature of the industries
     which it serves.

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 provide working capital for operations. Under the terms of the
     Financing Agreement, a Credit facility was established at $85 million.
     Effective September 25, 1999 this was increased to $90 million. At
     September 24, 1999, after considering outstanding letters of credit which
     reduce availability under the credit facility, available borrowing capacity
     was approximately $100,000 and $2.5 million at November 8, 1999. Borrowing
     under the credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.625% or at the
     prime lending rate plus 1.625%.

     The Company is experiencing slow collections of its accounts receivable,
     which at September 24, 1999 averaged 115 days outstanding based on trailing
     12-month sales. The slow collections are contributing to the reduced
     liquidity noted above. The Company's liquidity requirements will be
     exacerbated by the January 14, 2000 scheduled semi-annual bond interest
     payment of $6.325 million. The Company is taking steps to expedite
     collection of its accounts receivable by increasing the promptness and
     accuracy of its billing, and the Company is also trying to relieve pressure
     on working capital by reducing inventory levels. The Company will also
     endeavor, among other things, to increase its credit line in order to allow
     it to satisfy its liquidity requirements. There can be no assurance,
     however, that these efforts will be successful.

     Cash used by operating activities was $11.2 million for the three months
     ended September 24, 1999 as compared to $1.8 million for the same period of
     fiscal 1999 for an unfavorable change of $9.4 million. The increase relates
     primarily to an increase in inventory and decrease in current liabilities.


Page 14
<PAGE>   15

     The Company's capital expenditures were $.9 million for the first quarter
     of fiscal 2000 as compared to $.5 million in the previous year's first
     quarter. The Company anticipates capital expenditures for fiscal 2000 will
     be approximately $2.3 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.

     The Company is required to maintain certain financial debt covenants under
     its Financing Agreement as amended on September 25, 1999. For the fiscal
     quarter ended September 24, 1999 the Company was in violation of the
     Consolidated Senior Debt to EBITDA covenant, primarily as a result of
     additional borrowings supporting the increase in working capital, primarily
     accounts receivable, noted above. On November 8, 1999 the Company received
     a one-time waiver for this violation.

<PAGE>   16


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

     The Year 2000 problem is a result of computer programs being written using
     two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year. Any of the
     Company's programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
     using "00" as the year 1990 rather than the year 2000, which would result
     in miscalculations or system failures.

     The Company's major computer systems consist of third-party software. The
     conclusion of the Company's research is that the latest existing releases
     of this software contain the necessary changes to correct any significant
     Year 2000 problems. As a matter of ongoing policy, in order to assure
     continuing contractual vendor support, the Company promptly installs and
     implements new releases of third-party software. To date, the Company has
     implemented third-party releases that it believes are Year 2000 compliant
     for substantially all of its software. The Company has spent approximately
     $1.6 million on these releases during 1999, which amounts were planned
     expenditures irrespective of any Year 2000 issues. The Company has tested
     and has further plans to test its software for compliance. Costs of
     addressing potential problems has not and are not currently expected to
     have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results
     of operations or cash flows in future periods.

     The Company's compliance plan includes review of Year 2000 readiness of its
     major manufacturing equipment, products, suppliers, and customers. The
     Company has no Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) interfaces with either its
     customers or vendors. To date, the Company has not discovered any
     significant Year 2000 issues in these areas and does not anticipate any
     significant problems.

     Therefore, the Company has not developed specific contingency plans in
     preparation for the year 2000. As the Company continues to evaluate and
     test its readiness for the year 2000, the Company will assess whether there
     are any specific areas where a contingency plan could help alleviate
     possible adverse effects from the year 2000. If so, the Company will
     develop contingency plans in those areas prior to the end of 1999.
     Accordingly, the Company plans to devote the necessary resources to resolve
     all significant Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.

     The most likely Year 2000 problems that the Company may face appear to
     arise from the possible noncompliance of third parties. Possible
     difficulties could arise in receiving materials from suppliers or from
     failures in the operation of the Company's customers. The Company has
     documented and confirmed (in writing) Y2K compliance of the services and
     products provided to Mosler by our vendors. In addition, in the event that
     the Year 2000 would cause widespread loss of power or other utilities in
     areas where the Company, its suppliers or

Page 16

<PAGE>   17

     customers operate, the Company's business and operations could be
     disrupted. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
        ----------------------------------------------------------

The principal market risk (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes
in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed is interest rates on
debt.

At September 24, 1999, the carrying value of the Company's debt total $202
million. Approximately $76 million was at variable interest rates. For such
floating rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair
market value but do impact earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are
held constant. Holding other variables constant (such as debt levels), the
earnings and cash flow impact for the next year resulting from a one percentage
point increase in interest rates on variable rate debt would be approximately
$.7 million. The Company has limited its risk related to interest rate increases
by purchasing an interest rate cap.
