                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, which the Company considers
  necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein.  The
  results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 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.

  (2) The allowance for doubtful accounts was $7.0 million at June 30, 1996 and
  $7.3 million at December 31, 1995.  The accumulated amortization on excess
  purchase price over net assets acquired was $90.4 million at June 30, 1996 and
  $93.0 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 June 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 $11.2
  million and $17.0 million at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
  respectively, is included with "Receivables, net" on the balance sheet. "Other
  current assets" at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 included interest-
  bearing cash deposits of $31.4 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) 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.

  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
<PAGE>
 
                                     -10-

  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.

          ---------------------------------------
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------------------------------


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

  Consolidated net service revenue for the three and six month periods ended
  June 30, 1996 declined 2.7% from the comparable 1995 periods. Despite reduced
  revenue, operating profit, which is pretax earnings before interest expense
  and unallocated corporate expenses, increased 13.4% and 11.2% for the second
  quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively.  The Guard and Alarm units
  improved margins through a combination of profitability improvement programs
  and cost reduction efforts.  Lower margins at the Armored and Courier units
  offset some of the improvement.

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

  Guard revenue declined 3% in the second quarter and the first six months of
  1996 compared to 1995.  Volume, as measured by average guard hours-in-force,
  declined 5.3% year-to-date, as reductions, cancellations, and terminations
  exceeded new sales.  The unit's program to reduce underperforming contracts
  contributed to improved margins as operating profit increased 19.7% in the
  second quarter and 22.8% in the first half of this year.  Field cost
  reduction and streamlining programs along with reduced amounts of unbilled
  overtime also contributed to the improvement.

  Alarm revenue decreased 5.2% in the second quarter and 7.4% in the first six
  months of 1996 compared to 1995.  In 1995, Alarm began recognizing
  installation contracts as sales-type leases rather than operating leases.
  Such recognition resulted in increased reported revenue in 1995 which is and
  will be offset by reduced rental revenue from equipment under operating
  leases.  There is no significant impact on operating income since the
<PAGE>
 
                                   -12-

rental revenue is substantially offset by finance income earned on sales-type
leases and lower depreciation expense on remaining operating leases.  Alarm's
1996 operating profit increased significantly primarily due to improved
investment control performance and  lower operating costs.

Armored revenue increased 7.1% in the second quarter and 5.6% in the first six
months of 1996 compared to 1995.  The increases resulted primarily from higher
volume in the ATM operations.  Revenue for the armored transport and cash
services operations were comparable to 1995. Operating profit declined 25.8%
and 21.3% for the second quarter and the first half of 1996, respectively, due
to higher labor and vehicle costs, higher cargo losses, and the absence of a
pricing surcharge implemented in the first quarter of 1995.

Courier revenue decreased 8.6% in the second quarter and 7.8% in the first six
months of 1996 compared to 1995.  The lower revenue reflects the reduced
volume of traditional financial document shipments, customer cost reduction
efforts and the unit's efforts to improve margins by reducing underperforming
business.  Operating profit declined due to reduced revenues and a fixed cost
base in established route structures. The unit is reviewing its route
structure and branch organization in light of the reduced volume of business.

The United States Congress has recently passed legislation that is expected to
be enacted that will increase the minimum wage payable to employees.  The
Company believes that it will be able to adjust its billing rates in response
to any such increase and that there would not be a material effect on
operating income from any increase in the minimum wage.

Interest expense and finance charges increased 1.4% in the second quarter and
5.0% for the first six months of 1996 compared to 1995. This is primarily due
to higher interest rates associated with refinancing activities in late 1995,
offset by slightly lower average debt balances.

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

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 June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 included interest-
bearing cash deposits of $31.4 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.  The levels of receivables and current
liabilities are influenced by the timing of billings, collections and
payrolls.  The Company's policy is to keep working capital as low as is
operationally feasible to minimize related carrying costs.
<PAGE>
 
                                     -13-

Net cash provided by operating activities  was $19.8 million and $29.3
million in the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decline
in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in
working capital requirements. Cash used for investing activities declined by
$6.3 million due primarily to controlled Alarm investment and lower capital
expenditures. Total funding, including debt and off-balance sheet facilities,
declined to $570.4 million at March 31, 1996 from $576.3 million at December
31, 1995.  The Company expects that continuing  operations, together with
existing credit facilities and replacements thereof, will generate sufficient
cash to fund current operating requirements and capital expenditures.

On October 17, 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 of the
term loan not later than 120 days after the end of such quarter.  If the
Company is required to make such payment, it expects to fund such amount
through some combination of transactions that may include the issuance of debt
or equity securities, the sale of assets or other financing alternatives.

In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement that provides for the
purchase of the installation and equipment lease payments due under certain
alarm unit customer leased installations.

The Company has entered into a letter of intent to combine the business
conducted by its armored unit with Loomis Armored, Inc. The Company and
existing shareholders of Loomis will each own 50% of the to-be-named company.
Loomis is controlled by Wingate Partners, a private equity investment
partnership. The new company will provide a full range of armored
transportation, cash services and automated teller machine services
nationwide. The Company expects to receive approximately $95 million from the
transaction, which will be applied to reduce existing debt. The transaction is
subject to a number of conditions, but the Company expects that it will be
completed in 1996.

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.

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings
             -----------------

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.
