1.       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of 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. These statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto, included in the Company's 1996 and 1997 Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share", which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997.
Basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes
the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For all periods presented
diluted earnings per share have not been presented because stock options and
warrants which comprised common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

6.       IMPAIRMENT CHARGE, RESTRUCTURING CHARGE AND OTHER - LITIGATION

         As a result of changes in the Company's management in 1997, a thorough
evaluation of the Company's operations was undertaken, including , among other
things, the carrying value of long lived assets in light of the recurring
operating losses and uncertainty regarding the recoverability of such assets.
Effective April 1, 1997, management determined that based on the current market
conditions and an analyses of the projected undiscounted future cash flows
calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, the carrying
amount of its goodwill and investments in technology may not be recoverable. The
resultant impairment of these long lived assets necessitated a write-down of
$1,408,839, comprised of unamortized goodwill and investments in technologies of
Newdat and Senson, acquired in January, 1995.

         Management also evaluated personnel requirements in light of the
current level and mix of operating revenues. The evaluation resulted in
management, sales and administrative personnel being reduced from 16 to three,
and the number of inmate employees being reduced from approximately 125 to
approximately 75. Effective April 1, 1997, The Company accrued a restructuring
charge in the amount of $196,903 to record the costs of severance and lay-off of
excess personnel.

         Also, effective on April 1, 1997, the Company recognized a charge in
the amount of $252,256 to accrue losses related to outstanding litigation.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company (including the notes thereto) included in
the Company's Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997.

GENERAL. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement under
which a majority of the Company's stock was acquired by Mr. Kenneth H. Smith and
Mr. James V. Warren. As a condition of the acquisition, all the Company's prior
Board of Directors and management resigned. Mr. Smith and Mr. Warren assumed
control of the Board of Directors and Mr. Smith assumed control of operations of
the Company. During 1997, a new management team was assembled and the Company's
operations have been restructured.

OVERVIEW. The Company reported losses in each of the last three years for a
variety of reasons. During 1995, the Company attempted, with little success, to
rebuild its customer base, most of which had been lost in 1994 due to poor
production and quality at the Company's PIE operation at LTI. In response to
this, the Company began a search to find and acquire products or technologies
which could be produced with the Company's PIE labor force. Unfortunately, the
plan to acquire companies and products did not succeed and the Company did not
begin to take steps to control costs or reduce the size of its workforce. In
1996, these same problems persisted as revenues declined below 1995 levels while
staffing and expenses continued unabated.

In January 1997, as part of the transaction through which control of the Company
passed to the new management team, the Company received a significant infusion
of equity capital of approximately $536,000. This capital infusion was used to
finance the significant expansion of the Company's operations. The new
management team took immediate steps to cut costs and improve production
management, product quality and customer service. All these steps resulted in an
immediate increase in revenues with existing customers and opportunities to
serve new customers. These steps also resulted in the recognition of a
restructuring charge to recognize the cost of severance and lay-off of excess
personnel of approximately $197,000.

The new management team also made a thorough evaluation of the value of the
assets acquired by prior management and took appropriate steps to write off the
value of assets which would not be realized, totaling approximately $1,409,000,
and obsolete inventory, in the amount of approximately $307,000. The new
management team also acted to resolve most of the outstanding litigation,
inherited from prior management, recognizing a charge of approximately $252,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following analyses compare the results of operations
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, to the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996.

   PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
   1996. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company had net
   income of $17,628 or $0.00 per weighted-average share, and in the nine months
   ended September 30, 1997 the Company had a net loss of $2,247,044 or $0.09
   per weighted-average share on net sales of $1,230,964 and $2,964,764,
   respectively. During the same three and nine month periods in 1996, the
   Company reported net losses of $436,678 or $0.02 per weighted-average share,
   and $1,333,905 or $0.08 per weighted-average share on net sales of $296,004
   and $707,713, respectively. Net sales increased 316% and 319%, respectively,
   as a result of improvements instituted by the Company's new management which
   included; converting all sales employees to commission-only sales agents,
   improved bidding techniques, improved product quality and faster service.

   Effective April 1, 1997, the Company recognized a $1,408,839 non-cash charge
   for the impairment of long lived assets to write-off all remaining assets
   described as investments in technologies and goodwill. These included the
   remaining unamortized cost of acquired technologies and goodwill of acquired
   companies. The assets and technologies, which had been inactive during 1997
   and 1996, were thoroughly evaluated by the Company's new management and found
   to have no value. During the first quarter of 1997, amortization of these
   assets totaled $111,078.

   Effective April 1, 1997 the Company also recognized a charge to restructure
   the Company's operations in the amount of $196,903, representing the costs of
   severance to terminate thirteen management, sales and


                                       8
<PAGE>   9



   administrative positions and lay-off 50 inmates at LTI. The Company also 
   recognized a charge in the amount of $252,256, representing an accrual for 
   losses and the cost to defend the Company from a variety of lawsuits with 
   third parties and the Company's former management.

   Finally on April 1, 1997, the Company recognized a non-cash charge to adjust
   its inventory reserve for obsolescence to write-off all remaining obsolete
   inventory in the amount of $306,888.

   Excluding the impairment charge of $1,408,839, the related first quarter
   amortization of $111,078, the restructuring charge of $196,903, the charge to
   accrue the cost to resolve outstanding litigation in the amount of $252,256,
   and the write-off of obsolete inventory of $306,888 the Company's pretax
   profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, would likely have been
   $28,920. Compared with the $1,333,905 loss reported for the nine months ended
   September 30, 1996, the results in 1997 improved by $1,362,825. Excluding the
   nonrecurring charges EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
   $102,778. EBITDA was negative $958,267 for the nine months ended September
   30, 1996, this represents an increase of $1,061,045.

   In the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, cost of goods sold,
   excluding the second quarter charge to write-off all remaining obsolete
   inventory in the amount of $306,888, was $891,210 and $2,255,268, which
   represented 72% and 76%, respectively, of net sales. During the three and
   nine months ended September 30, 1996, cost of goods sold was $497,576 and
   $1,345,878, which represented 168% and 190%, respectively, of net sales. The
   improvement in the Company's cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales
   is a direct result of changes instituted by the Company's new management and
   the recognition of the charges described above, improved production
   management, improved purchasing procedures, improved bidding procedures and
   improved quality.

   Selling expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
   $23,829 and $44,893, respectively, representing 2% and 2% of net sales,
   respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
   selling expenses in the amount of $18,863 and $144,546, respectively,
   represented 6% and 18% of net sales, respectively. These expenses decreased
   as a percentage of net sales primarily due to the termination of the
   Company's full-time sales employees and replacing their efforts with
   independent sales agents, compensated on a commission only basis. The
   improvement in performance on a percentage basis was also affected by
   increased sales volume in 1997.

   General and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended
   September 30, 1997, were $291,676 and $809,124, which represented 24% and 27%
   of net sales respectively. During the three and nine months ended September
   30, 1996, general and administrative expenses were $211,010 and $501,998,
   which represented 71% and 71% of net sales, respectively. The improvements in
   general and administrative expenses are attributable to the charges described
   above, new management's efforts to control costs and increased sales in 1997.

The 100% valuation allowance against the Company's $8,834,369 net operating loss
carry forward continues to be recognized at September 30, 1997. As a result of
the series of transactions through which the Company's new management gained
control in 1997, the Company is limited in the utilization of prior accumulated
net operating losses and anticipates that $573,561 per year of net operating
losses are available to offset future annual taxable income. The Company expects
to pay taxes in 1998 in accordance with the provisions of the alternative
minimum tax and various state income tax laws as the Company's operations are
anticipated to expand.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 the Company experienced negative operating cash flows of $443,141 and
$335,915, respectively. Negative cash flows from operations resulted principally
from the operating losses incurred during these periods which, during 1997, were
partially offset by non-cash reductions of (1) $165,983 for depreciation and
amortization, (2) $1,408,839 of charges for impairment of long lived assets and
(3) $306,888 for inventory valuation allowance. The primary uses of cash during
the first nine months of 1997 were to fund the increase in accounts
receivable attributable to increased sales volume. During the first nine months
of 1996, the Company increased its accounts payable and accrued expenses by
$457,083 and $355,489, respectively, which contributed to the funding of
negative cash flow from operations, but severely impaired the Company's
relations with its suppliers

Cash used in investing activities of $61,891 the first nine months of 1997 was
primarily for the purchase of equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities was $621,421 during first nine months of
1997, primarily as a result of the issuance of common stock in connection with
the change in the Company's management. During the first 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

nine months of 1996 the company completed a private placement of debt and other
borrowings from companies controlled by prior management, resulting in cash
provided by financing activities totaling $326,200.

The improvements described above were the result of new management's efforts to
improve relations with its suppliers described above. In an effort to improve
cash flow from operations, during 1997, management also reached an agreement
with its largest customer by which this customer pays for products produced by
the Company on the 15th and 30th of each month. The Company has also negotiated
favorable terms for payment with several key suppliers and one former supplier.

While the Company was able to increase its sales volume by approximately 319%
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and substantial progress was
made by improving all aspects of operating costs net working capital declined by
$124,685 from a negative $707,467 as of December 31, 1996, to a negative
$832,152 as of September 30, 1997. Accounts receivable increased by $351,518 to
$590,165, representing approximately 54 days sales, at September 30, 1997, from
$238,647, representing approximately 62 days sales as of December 31, 1996. This
improvement was the result of new management's efforts to improve quality and
service to its customers. Inventory declined by $300,827 to $171,400 at
September 30, 1997 from $472,227 at December 31, 1996 primarily as a result of
the $306,888 write down of obsolete inventory during the second quarter of 1997.
Accounts payable increased by $126,557 to $932,761, representing approximately
112 days cost of sales, excluding changes in the inventory valuation allowance,
from $806,204, representing approximately 132 days cost of sales, excluding
changes in the inventory valuation allowance. This improvement was the result of
new management's efforts to improve relations with its suppliers described
above. Management believes that the Company's working capital position will
improve in 1998.

The Company's expansion into additional WCC and state corrections facilities in
will be financed through profitable operations, positive operating cash flows
and additional equity financing. The Company may also enter into debt financing
arrangements through private placements or through bank credit facilities.

If it became necessary for a significant cash infusion to fund its expansion or
operations, the Company could pursue several courses of action. The Company
could factor its accounts receivable which are primarily with Fortune 1000
companies, also, all of the Company's assets, including inventory and fixed
assets, are unencumbered and could be used as collateral, if needed. Management
believes that these cash infusion measures could raise up to $500,000, depending
upon the underlying value of the assets. In addition, if it became necessary,
management could reduce certain fixed costs by reducing personnel at its
Lockhart, Texas location and its corporate headquarters in Marietta, Georgia.
Management estimates that the annualized cost savings from these reduction
measures could total approximately $200,000.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to
resolve its unfavorable liquidity status. While there is no assurance that such
problems can be resolved, the Company believes there is a reasonable expectation
of achieving that goal through cash generated from operations, the expansion of
operations and the sale of additional stock through private placements. Should
the Company be unable to achieve its financial goals, the Company may be
required to significantly curtail its operations.

INFLATION. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's operations.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS. The Company is currently evaluating its computer systems to
determine whether modifications and expenditures will be necessary to make its
systems and those of its vendors compliant with year 2000 requirements. These
requirements have arisen due to the widespread use of computer programs that
rely on two-digit date codes to perform computations or decision-making
functions. Many of these programs may fail as a result of their inability to
properly interpret date codes beginning January 1, 2000. For example, such
programs may interpret "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. In addition, some
equipment, being controlled by microprocessor chips, may not deal appropriately
with the year "00". The Company believes it will timely meet its year 2000
compliance requirements and does not anticipate that the cost of compliance will
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results
of operations. However, there can be no assurance that all necessary
modifications will be identified and corrected or that unforeseen difficulties
or costs will not arise. In addition, there can be no assurance that the systems
of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be modified on a
timely basis, or that the failure by another company to properly modify its
systems will not negatively impact the Company's systems or operations.
