                NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1)  The financial statements of Borg-Warner Security Corporation and
consolidated subsidiaries ("Company") have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. The statements are unaudited, but include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, except as noted, which the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth
herein. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the entire year. Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the 1996 presentation.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the measurement of assets and liabilities and of
revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
during the reported period.

(2)  As of September 30, 1996, the Company's courier unit has been treated as
a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. The assets,
liabilities, results of operations and adjustments to carrying values of net
assets, and cash flows of the courier unit have been segregated as separate
components in the financial statements. The effect of discontinued operations on
net income (loss) was as follows:

(3) The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.7 million at September 30, 1996
and $6.8 million at December 31, 1995. The accumulated amortization on excess
purchase price over net assets acquired was $78.0 million at September 30, 1996
and $77.9 million at December 31, 1995.

In November 1995, the Company entered into a three-year agreement to sell a $120
million undivided interest in a revolving pool of customer receivables. This
sold interest was reflected as a reduction of "Receivables" in the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995. The Company retains, on a subordinated basis, an undivided interest in the
pool of receivables. The Company's retained interest of $45.4 million and $13.1
million at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, is included
with "Receivables, net" on the balance sheet. As discussed in Note 2, the
Company's courier unit has been classified as a discontinued operation. While
the courier unit continues to participate in the receivables facility, its share
of the receivables pool has been segregated on the balance sheet with "Net
assets of discontinued operations". "Other current assets" at September 30, 1996
and December 31, 1995 included interest-bearing cash deposits of $5.6 million
and $31.1 million, respectively, held in trust under the terms of the accounts
receivable facility. These deposits represent collections held back by the
trustee based on the amount of eligible receivables in the revolving receivables
pool. The Company's retained interest in the receivables and cash deposits is
generally restricted. The full amount of the allowance for losses has been
retained because the Company has retained substantially the same risk of credit
loss as if the receivables had not been sold. The discount related to the sale
of receivables is included with "Interest expense and finance charges" in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Net cash payments for interest and income taxes were as follows (in millions of
dollars):

  (6) Earnings per common share are based on average outstanding common shares
and common share equivalents. Common share equivalents recognize the dilutive
effects of common shares which may be issued in the future upon exercise of
certain stock options. The number of shares used in the computation of earnings
per share were as follows (in thousands of shares):

  (7) The Company's discontinued property and casualty insurance subsidiary
("Centaur") ceased writing insurance in 1984 and has been operating under
rehabilitation since September 1987. Rehabilitation is a process supervised by
the Illinois Director of Insurance to attempt to compromise claim liabilities at
an aggregate level that is not in excess of Centaur's assets. In rehabilitation,
Centaur's assets are currently being used to satisfy claim liabilities under
direct insurance policies written by Centaur. Any remaining assets will be
applied to Centaur's obligations to other insurance companies under reinsurance
contracts. If all of Centaur's obligations are not satisfied through
rehabilitation, it is possible that satisfaction could be sought from the
Company for Centaur's liabilities.

The foregoing has resulted in one pending lawsuit against the Company, certain
of its current and former subsidiaries, and directors and officers of certain
current and former subsidiaries for recovery of alleged damages incurred because
of Centaur's failure to satisfy its reinsurance obligations. The lawsuit seeks
in excess of $100 million for current losses, future losses and other damages
and also seeks punitive damages. The Company believes that any damages for
failure to satisfy reinsurance obligations are solely the responsibility of
Centaur and that the resolution of the lawsuit relating to Centaur, including
the Company's indemnification obligations to certain former officers and
directors, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
future operating results; however, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate
outcome with respect to such lawsuit.

                                     -11-

The Company and certain of its current and former subsidiaries have been
identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain state
environmental agencies as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at several
hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent state laws and, as
such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial activities at
these sites. Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial activities at a
Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
The Company believes that none of these matters individually or in the aggregate
will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or future
operating results, generally either because the maximum potential liability at a
site is not large or because liability will be shared with other PRPs, although
no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such
liability. Based on its estimate of allocations of liability among PRPs, the
probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies,
will fully pay the costs allocated to them, currently available information
concerning the scope of contamination at such sites, estimated remediation costs
at such sites, estimated legal fees and other factors, the Company has made
provisions for indicated environmental liabilities in the aggregate amount of
approximately $9 million (relating to environmental matters with respect to
discontinued operations of the Company).

If any environmental liability claim relating to the Company's former chemical
and plastics business is made, the Company is indemnified by the purchaser of
such business, General Electric Company. Since the disposition, the Company has
notified General Electric Company of various claims made with respect to the
Company's former chemical and plastic business, and General Electric Company has
assumed all of such claims and has not contested its indemnification
obligations. There is no dollar limitation on the General Electric Company's
indemnification obligations and there are no other material limitations or
exclusions with respect thereto. If any environmental liability claim relating
to the operations of the Company's discontinued automotive subsidiary is made,
the Company will be indemnified by such former subsidiary.

The Company believes that the various asserted claims and litigation in which it
is involved will not materially affect its financial position or future
operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of any such claim or litigation.

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

                                        
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's courier unit has been treated as a
discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. The results of
courier's operations, including adjustments to carrying values of net assets and
other provisions, have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations
for all periods presented. The Company's continuing operations consists of the
Guard, Alarm, and Armored businesses.

Consolidated net service revenue for the third quarter of 1996 increased 1.7%
while revenue for the first nine months declined 0.9% compared to similar
periods in 1995. Earnings before interest expense and income taxes increased
4.2% and 14.3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively,
compared to 1995. The Guard and Alarm units improved margins in the third
quarter and the nine month period through a combination of profitability
improvement programs and cost reduction efforts. Armored reported lower margins
in both the third quarter and nine months of 1996 compared to 1995.

The revenue contributed by each of the Company's consolidated units was as
follows (in millions of dollars):

                                   ======       ======      ========    ======== 
</TABLE>

Guard's revenue improved 2.0% in the third quarter of 1996 but remains slightly
below 1995 year-to-date. The increase in third quarter revenues is primarily the
result of Olympic-related activities. Guard recently began a three year contract
to provide security and related services at five United States strategic
petroleum reserve sites. The unit's program to reduce under-performing contracts
has contributed to improved margins. Field cost reduction and streamlining
programs, along with lower unbilled overtime, also have contributed to improved
margins. Customer and employee retention rates have also improved through the
first nine months of 1996.
<PAGE>
 
                                     -13-

Alarm's revenue declined 5.7% and 6.8% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1996, respectively, compared to 1995. Operating profit improved
significantly due to improved pricing effectiveness and cost reduction
efforts. Alarm's volume has not changed significantly in 1996 while reported
revenue has declined due to a change in lease classification. In 1995 Alarm
began recognizing installation contracts as sales-type leases rather than
operating leases. Such recognition resulted in increased revenue in 1995 which
is offset by reduced rental revenue from equipment under operating leases in
subsequent years. There is no significant impact on operating income since the
decline in rental revenue is substantially offset by finance income earned on
sales-type leases and lower depreciation expense on remaining operating leases.

Armored's revenue increased 7.7% and 6.3% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1996, respectively, compared to 1995. The increase resulted primarily
from new business with major customers in the ATM service operations. Revenue
for the armored transport and cash services operations were comparable to 1995.
Operating profit declined for the third quarter and the first nine months of
1996 as a result of labor, vehicle, and branch cost increases outpacing
revenue gains.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's courier unit has been treated as a
discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. Courier's revenue
decreased 11.4% and 9.0% in the third quarter and first nine months of 1996,
respectively, compared to 1995. The lower revenue reflects the reduced volume of
traditional financial document shipments, customer cost reduction efforts and
the unit's program to reduce under-performing contracts. Operating profit
declined due to reduced revenues and a fixed cost base in established route
structures.

Interest expense and finance charges increased 2.9% in the third quarter and
4.1% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995. This is primarily due
to higher interest rates associated with refinancing activities in late 1995,
offset by lower market interest rates and slightly lower average debt balances.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
- ---------------------------------

The Company's policy is to keep working capital as low as is operationally
feasible to minimize related carrying costs. The levels of receivables and
current liabilities are influenced by the timing of billings, collections and
payrolls. In November 1995, the Company entered into a three-year agreement to
sell a $120 million undivided interest in a revolving pool of customer
receivables. Other current assets at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995
included interest-bearing cash deposits of $5.6 million and $31.1 million,
respectively, held in trust under the terms of the accounts receivable facility.
These deposits represent collections held back based on the amount of eligible
receivables in the revolving receivables pool.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.1 million and $41.8 million in
the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decline in cash
provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower payroll accruals and
other accrued expenses. Cash used for investing activities declined by $8.4
million due primarily to controlled Alarm investment and lower capital
expenditures. Total financing, including debt and off-balance sheet facilities,
declined to $573.2 million at September 30, 1996 from $576.3 million at December
31, 1995.

In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement that provides for the sale
of equipment payment rights due under certain alarm unit customer leased
installations. Through September 30, 1996, $6.3 million of lease payments were
sold under this agreement.

In October 1995, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of
banks, providing for a $200 million term loan due December 31, 1998. On such
date the Company also amended its existing revolving credit and letter of credit
facilities, principally to permit the term loan, change pricing, amend covenants
relating to interest coverage, leverage, net worth and earnings, extend the
maturity of the letter of credit facility to December 31, 1998 and reduce the
level of commitments under the letter of credit facility to $155 million.

The Company used the initial $100 million of proceeds from the term loan to
prepay an existing $50 million term loan and for general corporate purposes. The
remaining $100 million of term loan proceeds was used to repay the $100 million
principal amount of its 8% notes, which matured on April 1, 1996. The Company is
required to prepay the term loan with the proceeds from certain asset sales,
certain reversions of surplus pension plan assets, issuance of debt or equity
securities and excess cash flow. In the event that, as of the end of each
quarter beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company has not
achieved required covenants for the four consecutive quarters ending on such
date, the Company is required to prepay $150 million (less amounts previously
repaid) of the term loan not later than 120 days after the end of such quarter.
The Company cannot make assurances that it will achieve the required covenants.
If the Company is required to make the prepayment, it anticipates funding such
amount through some combination of transactions that may include existing
financing sources, future private or public debt facilities, issuance of
additional debt or equity securities, sales of assets or other financing
alternatives. There can be no assurance that there will be financing
alternatives available on terms acceptable to the Company.

                                     -15-

The Company is negotiating a definitive agreement to combine the business
conducted by its armored unit with Loomis Armored Inc, a company controlled by
Wingate Partners, L.P., a private equity investment partnership. The Company
expects to receive an equity interest in the combined company and cash, which
will be applied to reduce existing debt and certain other obligations. The
transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, but the Company expects
that it will be completed in 1996 or early 1997.

As discussed more fully in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, various complaints seeking substantial dollar amounts have been
filed against the Company. The Company believes that it has established adequate
provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that none of
these matters individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse
effect on its financial position or future operating results, although no
assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such
proceeding.

         -----------------

As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995, Centaur Insurance Company ("Centaur"), the Company's
discontinued property and casualty insurance subsidiary, has been operating
under rehabilitation since September 1987. Rehabilitation is a process
supervised by the Illinois Director of Insurance to attempt to compromise
Centaur's liabilities at an aggregate level that is not in excess of its assets.
The foregoing has resulted in one pending lawsuit against the Company for
recovery of alleged damages incurred as a result of Centaur's failure to satisfy
its reinsurance obligations. The liability phase of such lawsuit has begun and
the Company intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
