                                    PART I


Item 1.   Business

     The Company is the nation's largest supplier of contract guard services and
is a leading provider of electronic security services. As a result of its
significant market presence and breadth of product offerings, the Company is
well positioned to service local, multi-location and national accounts and
provide "Total Security Solutions" to its customers.

     The Company's protective services business is divided into two business
units: physical security services and electronic security services. Information
concerning the revenues, operating profit or loss and identifiable assets
attributable to each of the Company's business units is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In January 1997 the Company combined its armored transport business with
Loomis Armored Inc. The Company received a 49% equity interest in the combined
entity and approximately $105 million (net of transaction expenses, but subject
to certain adjustments), and retained casualty and employee liabilities of its
armored transport unit incurred prior to closing. The Company accounts for its
investment in the combined entity under the equity method.

     In the third quarter of 1996, the Company elected to treat its courier
business as a discontinued operation. The Company incurred a non-cash charge of
$25 million to provide for anticipated future losses and liabilities.

     Physical Security Services

     The Company provides guard services, as well as background screening,
contract employment and investigative services, to approximately 14,000 clients
in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and South America. The Company
services these clients with approximately 73,000 employees in approximately 280
offices under the Wells Fargo(R), Burns(R), Globe(R) and other service marks.

     The physical security services unit supplies contract uniformed and
plainclothes security officers, who may or may not be armed, to perform a wide
variety of tasks. These security officers patrol and monitor commercial,
financial, industrial, residential and governmental facilities providing
deterrence against crime and breach of governmental security regulations and
detection of fire, accidents and other casualties. The security officers also
monitor electronic systems and control public and employee access to facilities.
Specialized assignments include nuclear and conventional electric power plant
security, pre-departure screening of passengers and luggage at airports, access
control at health care and educational facilities, mailroom services, staffing
services and investigative services, including background investigations of
prospective employees.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
       The physical security services unit employs approximately 70,600 security
  officers. Security officers undergo a standardized pre-employment screening
  program that features mandatory drug screening, criminal record checks at the
  county and municipal court level and verification of consumer credit reports,
  Social Security information and drivers' license records. Security officers
  receive classroom orientation and field training in safety, first aid and
  security techniques and in the handling of specific problems applicable to
  particular industries or situations.

       The physical security services unit markets guard services through
  approximately 153 sales representatives nationwide and in Canada, the United
  Kingdom and South America. Sales personnel operate out of local branch and
  sales offices. The physical security services unit also bids on contracts with
  governmental agencies.

       Physical security services contracts generally provide for such services
  on a continuing basis and generally are terminable by either party upon 30 to
  60 days notice. Charges for services are negotiated with customers and are
  based upon payment of a specified amount per service hour. Typically, such
  charges are adjusted for any change in any law, ruling or collective
  bargaining agreement causing a change in work hours, wage rates, working
  conditions or other costs. Investigative services are generally provided under
  specific arrangements, with charges varying according to the nature of the
  assignment.

       Electronic Security Services

       The Company provides integrated electronic security systems, including
  intrusion and fire detection, sprinkler and critical industrial process
  monitoring, closed circuit television and access control. The Company designs,
  installs, monitors and services electronic security systems located on the
  premises of approximately 83,000 commercial and 31,000 residential customers
  in the United States and Canada under the Wells Fargo(R) and Pony Express(R)
  service marks. The Company also provides, under the Bel-Air Patrol trade name,
  an integrated guard, patrol and alarm service to approximately 12,000
  customers in Bel Air, Beverly Hills and other Los Angeles communities. The
  unit has approximately 2,200 employees.

       Commercial. The Company's electronic security services unit designs,
  installs, monitors and services electronic detection systems located at
  customers' premises. These systems are tailored to customers' needs and may
  include intrusion and fire detection, critical process and sprinkler
  monitoring, access control and closed-circuit television monitoring systems.
  The Company's alarm systems and devices may be monitored on the premises of
  the customer by the customer's own personnel or linked through telephone lines
  or long range radio to one of 12 central stations operated by the Company in
  the United States and Canada.  The Company also services its installed
  systems.

       The electronic security services unit services approximately 83,000
  security systems in financial institutions, industrial and commercial
  businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of federal, state and local
  governments, defense installations, and health care and educational
  facilities.

                                       4

<PAGE>
 
       The majority of the Company's monitoring contracts are for an initial
  five-year period with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless
  terminated by either party. Upon installation, a customer pays an installation
  fee and agrees to pay an annual service charge for ordinary maintenance and
  monitoring during the life of the contract. It has been the unit's experience
  that its customers generally continue the service after expiration of the
  initial term of the contract and enter into new five-year monitoring
  contracts.

       The electronic security services unit conducts its sales, installation
  and service operations from 40 branch offices in the United States and Canada,
  some of which are on the same premises as a monitoring station, and additional
  satellite offices. The alarm services unit has a nationwide sales force that
  is separated into broad-based commercial groups, as well as specialized sales
  teams that address the specific needs of the financial community, engineered
  systems market and other high growth segments of the industry. One group, for
  example, focuses on multi-location companies such as national retail chains
  and fast food outlets that require a single point of control for planning,
  servicing, monitoring and reporting for all locations.

       The Company also makes direct sales of security equipment to government
  and commercial users (including other companies in the alarm business) and
  designs, assembles and sells engineered systems for commercial fire
  suppression.

       Residential. The electronic security services unit also installs fire and
  intrusion protection systems for residential customers under the Pony
  Express(R) service mark. Residential customer sales and service are generally
  performed from the same facilities as for commercial accounts. Residential
  systems are installed by the Company with monitoring agreements and often with
  maintenance agreements. The majority of the residential monitoring contracts
  are for an initial period of three to five years with automatic renewal for
  additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party. The unit
  services approximately 31,000 residential security systems.

       Bel-Air Patrol. The Company also provides a complete protective package,
  including central station alarm service and surveillance systems, security
  guards and day and night patrols, to residents in Bel Air and Beverly Hills
  and other nearby communities of Los Angeles. The Company provides these
  services to approximately 12,000 customers under the trade name Bel-Air
  Patrol.

       The electronic security services unit purchases electronic equipment and
  component parts for systems from a number of suppliers, and is not dependent
  upon any single source for such equipment or parts.

       Loomis, Fargo & Co.

       In January 1997 the Company's armored transport unit contributed
  substantially all of its assets and assigned certain of its liabilities to
  Loomis, Fargo & Co. ("Loomis Fargo"), a newly established corporation, in
  exchange for 49% of Loomis Fargo's outstanding common stock and a cash payment
  of approximately $105 million (net of transaction costs, but subject to
  certain adjustments). The

                                       5

<PAGE>
 
  shareholders of Loomis Holding Corporation ("Loomis") contributed all of the
  Loomis common stock to Loomis Fargo in exchange for 51% of Loomis Fargo's
  outstanding common stock, a $6 million promissory note and a cash payment of
  approximately $15 million. In addition, Loomis Fargo repaid existing Loomis
  indebtedness and redeemed outstanding shares of Loomis preferred stock. Among
  the liabilities of the Company's armored transport unit that were retained are
  casualty and employee claims incurred prior to the closing.

       The Company agreed to indemnify Loomis Fargo for environmental
  liabilities associated with existing underground storage tanks and other known
  and identified environmental liabilities. Such indemnification obligation will
  continue until the earlier of December 31, 1998 or the first anniversary of an
  initial public offering of Loomis Fargo common  stock. The Company has also
  agreed to indemnify Loomis Fargo against certain other claims, including
  claims relating to receivables and taxes.

       The Company and the former Loomis shareholders entered into a
  stockholders agreement providing that Loomis Fargo's board of directors
  initially will consist of seven directors: three directors nominated by the
  Company; three directors nominated by the former Loomis shareholders and
  Loomis Fargo's chief executive officer. The number of  directors that may be
  designated pursuant to the stockholder agreement may adjust if either the
  Company or the former Loomis shareholders reduce their ownership stake in
  Loomis Fargo. The stockholder agreement provides that the vote of five of the
  seven directors is required for Loomis Fargo to engage in certain specified
  activities. The Company has nominated Messrs. Adorjan, O'Brien and Wood, its
  executive officers, to Loomis Fargo's board of directors.

       In addition, the stockholder agreement prohibits the transfer of Loomis
  Fargo common stock by either party for three years following the closing
  without the prior consent of the other party. After such period Loomis Fargo
  common stock may be transferred only in accordance with the provisions of the
  stockholder agreement, which include rights of first refusal and co-sale
  rights. The current stockholders also have certain preemptive and registration
  rights with respect to equity issuances by Loomis Fargo.

       Loomis Fargo operates over 150 branches, employs approximately 8,700
  persons and uses a fleet of approximately 2,700 armored vehicles nationwide to
  provide armored ground transportation services, ATM services and cash vault
  and related services to financial institutions and commercial customers.

  Employees

       The Company's business is labor intensive and, accordingly, is affected
  by the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor. Although the
  protective services industry is characterized generally by high turnover, the
  Company believes its experience compares favorably with that of the industry.
  The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in employing suitable
  numbers of

                                       6

<PAGE>
 
  qualified security guards and other employees. The Company considers its
  relations with its employees to be generally satisfactory.

       The Company is a party to collective bargaining agreements with various
  local unions covering approximately 5,800 employees. The collective bargaining
  agreements expire at various dates from 1997 to 1999 and relate, among other
  things, to wages, hours and conditions of employment. Under section 9(b)(3) of
  the National Labor Relations Act, if a union admits to membership, or is
  affiliated directly or indirectly with a union that admits to membership,
  employees other than guards, an employer of guards can refuse to bargain with
  such union and such union cannot be certified as the representative of a unit
  of guards. As a result, the Company has in many instances refused to recognize
  or withdrawn recognition of labor organizations that admit as members
  employees other than guards.

  Competition

       The physical security services unit competes with major national firms
  and numerous smaller regional and local companies providing similar services.
  Competition in the security guard industry is based on price in relation to
  the quality of service, the scope of services performed, the extent and
  quality of guard supervision, recruiting and training and name recognition.

       The electronic security services unit competes with major national firms
  and numerous smaller regional and local companies. Competition in the alarm
  services industry is based on price in relation to the quality of service, the
  scope of alarm installation and service, and the level of technological and
  engineering sophistication.

  Regulation

       Due to the nature of the Company's business, its operations are subject
  to a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws, regulations and
  licensing requirements. The Company believes that its operations are in
  substantial compliance with those laws, regulations and requirements.

       The Company's physical security services operations are subject to a
  variety of city, county and state firearm and occupational licensing laws. In
  addition, many states have laws requiring training and registration of
  security officers, regulating the use of badges, identification cards and
  uniforms and imposing minimum bond surety and insurance requirements. Federal
  legislation has been introduced relating to security officer qualification and
  training. Similar legislation is pending in several states. The Company
  generally supports the creation of standards for the industry and does not
  expect that the establishment of such standards will have a material affect on
  its physical security services operations.

       The Company's electronic security services operations are subject to
  regulatory requirements of federal, state and local authorities. In addition,
  this unit relies upon the use of telephone lines to transmit signals, and the
  cost of such lines and the type of equipment which may be used are currently

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  regulated by both federal and state governments. In some instances, the
  Company contracts with the local government to permit it to link a customer's
  business or home directly into the local police or fire department station for
  which it may pay a fee to such local government. As a result of a high
  incidence of false alarms in some communities, some local governments have
  imposed assessments, fines and penalties on customers based on the number of
  false alarms reported, or have restricted police response to systems producing
  excessive false alarms.

       From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is
  subjected to penalties or fines as the result of licensing irregularities or
  the misconduct of one or more of its agents or employees. In addition, under
  principles of common law, the Company can generally be held liable for acts or
  omissions of its agents or employees performed in the course and scope of
  their employment. In addition, some states have statutes that expressly impose
  on the Company legal responsibility for the conduct of its employees.

  Risk Management

       The nature of the services provided by the Company potentially exposes it
  to greater risks of liability for employee acts, injuries (including workers'
  compensation claims) or omissions than may be posed by other service
  businesses.

       The Company generally obtains customer indemnification or liability
  limitations in its contracts to mitigate this risk exposure. The Company
  carries insurance of various types, including workers' compensation,
  automobile and general liability coverage. These policies include deductibles
  per occurrence for which the Company is self-insured. The Company obtains its
  insurance at rates and upon terms negotiated periodically with various
  underwriters. The loss experience of the Company and, to some extent, other
  protective services companies affects premium rates charged to the Company.
  The Company does not believe that limitations on, or the uncertainty of,
  insurance coverage for punitive damages in certain states in which it operates
  is likely to be material, based upon the Company's prior experience with
  punitive damages claims. The Company also attempts to manage its risk
  liability through analysis of customer facilities and transportation routes
  and employee screening, training, supervision and evaluation.

  Discontinued Operations

       The Company has treated its courier services unit as a discontinued
  operation since September 1996. As a result of this decision, a non-cash
  charge of $25 million was incurred to provide for anticipated future losses
  and liabilities. The unit transports time-sensitive packages for commercial
  businesses and non-negotiable financial documents for Federal Reserve banks
  and financial institutions in 32 states under the Pony Express(R) service
  mark. The unit employs approximately 3,800 persons and leases from its
  employees approximately 65% of its fleet of approximately 3,025 vehicles. The
  courier services unit operates both as a common and contract carrier and uses
  a combination of tariffs and shipping contracts to control the terms,
  conditions and rates applicable to the transportation of

                                       8

<PAGE>
 
  shipments. Rates are dependent upon many factors, including the weight and
  type of the shipped item, the distance and urgency of the shipment and the
  geographical location.

  Trademarks and Patents

       The Wells Fargo(R), Pony Express(R) and Burns(R) service marks are
  especially important to the Company's business. The Company believes that its
  rights in these marks are adequately protected and of unlimited duration.
  While the Company has patents it considers to be important to the overall
  conduct of its business, it does not consider any particular patent, or group
  of related patents, essential to its operations. For both the United States
  and foreign patents, their expiration, individually or in the aggregate, is
  not expected to have any material effect on the Company's financial condition
  or results of operations.

  were leased, 28 additional branch and headquarters offices, 12 of which were
  owned and 47 additional branch and satellite offices, all of which were
  leased. The Company leases approximately 57,000 square feet of office space in
  Chicago, Illinois for its executive offices. The Company believes that its
  properties are in good condition and are adequate to meet its current and
  reasonably anticipated needs.


  Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

       The Company is presently, and is from time to time, subject to claims and
  suits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such
  actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered
  by insurance. In addition, the Company has been subject to claims and suits
  relating to certain discontinued operations. The most important of these legal
  proceedings are discussed below. The Company believes that the various
  asserted claims and litigation in which it is currently involved will not
  materially affect its financial position or future operating results, although
  no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome for any such
  claim or litigation. The Company believes that it has established adequate
  provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial statements in
  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These provisions
  include both legal fees and possible outcomes of legal proceedings (including
  the environmental matters discussed below).

       Centaur Litigation

       Centaur Insurance Company ("Centaur"), a discontinued property and
  casualty insurance subsidiary, 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 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. The foregoing has
  resulted in one pending lawsuit against the Company for recovery of alleged
  damages from the failure of Centaur to satisfy its reinsurance obligations.
  Certain former officers and directors of the Company's current and former
  subsidiaries have been named as defendants in such lawsuit and the Company has
  agreed to indemnify

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
  such individuals. Centaur is not a defendant in this lawsuit against the
  Company. Although the Illinois Director of Insurance has not made any claims
  against the Company for any of Centaur's liabilities, the Illinois Director of
  Insurance has requested, and the Company has agreed to, an extension of the
  statute of limitations for any such claims.

       As of December 31, 1995, Centaur's total liabilities were $137.1 million
  and its deficit in net worth was $56.1 million, according to financial
  statements submitted on behalf of the Illinois Director of Insurance. Such
  financial statements were presented on a liquidating basis with assets carried
  at their market value or estimated realizable value and liabilities carried at
  their present value through the provision of a present value discount.
  Although Centaur is a subsidiary of the Company, the Company does not operate
  Centaur and has no responsibility for, nor does it participate in the
  preparation of, such financial statements. Centaur's financial results, assets
  and liabilities are not reflected in the Company's financial statements.

       In June 1988, the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California as
  trustee of Mission Insurance Trust and four other affiliated insurance
  companies filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California,
  County of Los Angeles, against the Company and certain of its current and
  former subsidiaries alleging damages resulting from the failure of Centaur to
  satisfy its reinsurance obligations. This lawsuit alleges damages to
  plaintiff, as Trustee of Mission Insurance Company, Mission National Insurance
  Company, Enterprise Insurance Company, Holland-America Insurance Company and
  Mission Reinsurance Corporation, based on (i) conduct justifying piercing the
  corporate veil, (ii) fraud and (iii) negligent misrepresentation. The
  complaint was amended in 1989 to add 11 former officers and directors of the
  Company's current and former subsidiaries as defendants and to allege
  additional causes of action based on (i) breach of fiduciary duty and
  imposition of personal liability, (ii) fraudulent conveyance, (iii)
  constructive trust and (iv) conspiracy. The complaint was amended again in
  1995 to allege additional causes of action based on negligence and breach of
  the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Plaintiff seeks judgment in
  excess of $100 million for current losses, future losses and other damages and
  also seeks punitive damages.

       In 1989, the Company filed a motion to dismiss or stay the action,
  pending resolution of Centaur's rehabilitation in Illinois. The court declined
  to dismiss the action, but entered an order staying the action until the
  rehabilitation proceeding is resolved, except that the parties may pursue
  discovery to preserve evidence. In 1992, the Centaur rehabilitator filed a
  motion to intervene and dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the
  plaintiff lacked standing and that its claims were not ripe for adjudication.
  The motion is pending. In 1993, six of the 11 individual defendants were
  dismissed from the lawsuit. In September 1994, the court effectively lifted
  its stay. The liability phase of the trial was held in 1996 and the court has
  set a schedule for hearing the parties' closing arguments in such phase. The
  Company intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

       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 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.

       Environmental Proceedings

       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 a number
  of 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. In addition, the Company has or may have liability for
  environmental matters at properties it presently or previously owned or
  leased.

       Based on currently available information, the Company believes that none
  of these matters individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse
  affect 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,
  indemnification obligations in favor of the Company from the current owners of
  certain sold or discontinued operations, estimated legal fees and other
  factors, the Company has made provisions for indicated environmental
  liabilities in its financial statements in the aggregate amount of
  approximately $9 million (relating to environmental matters with respect to
  discontinued operations of the Company). While estimates of liability for
  environmental matters can vary over time due to, among other things, changes
  in laws, technology or available information, the Company believes that such
  provisions for indicated environmental liabilities have been established on a
  basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.


  Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

       There were no matters submitted to the security holders of the Company
  during the fourth quarter of 1996.

                                    PART II

  Item 5.  Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder
  Matters.

       As of March 7, 1997, there were approximately 183 holders of record of
  Common Stock.

       The Company has neither paid nor declared any cash dividends on its
  Common Stock during the last two years. The payment of dividends by the
  Company is prohibited under the terms of the Company's indebtedness. The
  Company currently intends to retain earnings for acquisitions, working
  capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and reduction of
  outstanding indebtedness.

                                       12

  Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be able to nor does it expect to
  pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

       High and low sales prices (as reported on the New York Stock Exchange
  composite tape) for the Common Stock for each quarter during 1995 and 1996

Consolidated Statistical Review

The following table sets forth selected financial information for Borg-Warner 
Security Corporation (the "Company"). The information is derived from the 
audited financial statements of the Company and treats Borg-Warner Automotive, 
which was spun-off in January 1993, the Company's courier unit, which was 
discontinued in September 1996, as discontinued operations. Previously reported 
results have been restated to reflect both transactions. The selected financial 
data should be read in connection with the 1996 Consolidated Financial 
Statements and accompanying notes.

</TABLE>

The Company's physical security services unit is the nation's largest provider
of contract security personnel with approximately 73,000 employees serving
14,000 customers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and South America.
Physical security business revenue was flat versus 1995 primarily due to
management's decision to prune low margin and higher risk business during the
year. Revenue growth in 1995 was principally due to higher billing rates and new
business growth.

     The Company's electronic security services unit is a leading full service
provider of integrated electronic security systems, including intrusion and fire
detection, closed circuit television, and access control. The unit has
approximately 126,000 customers and 2,200 employees. In 1995 this unit began
recognizing certain long-term alarm service contracts as sales-type leases
rather than operating leases. Excluding the impact of sales-type lease
accounting, 1996 alarm revenues were up modestly from 1995. Revenue in 1995,
excluding the impact of sales-type leases, increased 5 percent primarily due to
higher direct sales of commercial installations and higher service revenue on
residential operations.

     The Company's armored security services unit is a leading provider of
armored transportation, automated teller machine and cash handling services to
financial institutions and commercial businesses nationwide. Revenue in 1996
increased principally due to higher volume in ATM services. 1995 revenue
increased due to better pricing and higher volume in the Wells Fargo Armored
Express and ATM service operations.

     In January, 1997, Wells Fargo Armored entered into a business combination
with Loomis Armored. The combined company, known as Loomis, Fargo & Co., is
owned 51 percent by the former Loomis shareholders and 49 percent by Borg-Warner
Security. The combination created a leading armored transportation and ATM
services company with broad geographic coverage. This transaction has allowed
Borg-Warner Security to reduce its debt by $105 million from the 1996 year-end
level.

     As of September 30, 1996, the Company's Pony Express Courier unit has been
treated as a discontinued operation. In connection with this, a non-cash charge
of $25 million, an earnings per share equivalent of $1.06, was incurred to
recognize the future realizable value of this business.

     These two events enable Borg-Warner Security to focus its resources on the
core electronic and physical security businesses.

     The Company believes the security industry will experience significant
changes in the future. Increased outsourcing of security management needs,
customer demand for single point responsibility, improved quality and
reliability of services, and financial stability of security providers are
factors driving the trend toward "total security solutions."

     Through its ability to offer both physical and electronic security
services, and its 49 percent ownership in Loomis, Fargo & Co., the Company is
uniquely positioned to effectively and profitably provide customers with the
total security solution they require.

Total Costs and Expenses

Cost of services as a percent of revenue was 79.5 percent, 79.6 percent and 79.3
percent in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Gross profit margins remained
consistent as a
<PAGE>
 
result of the Company's commitment to improved contract profitability and
internal productivity improvement programs which offset increased labor costs.

     Depreciation expenses were $47.0 million in 1996, down from $52.1 million
in 1995 and $52.8 million in 1994. Reduced electronic security equipment under
operating leases was the principal factor.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $210.6 million,
$212.5 million and $220.2 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As a
percent of net sales, SG&A costs were 12.3 percent, 12.4 percent and 13.5
percent in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease since 1994 is due
primarily to continued cost reduction efforts, partially offset by increased
investments in training and recruitment of employees and in information systems.
Additionally, SG&A in 1994 included $14.0 million in non-recurring, non-cash
accruals for self-insurance reserves and other corporate allowances.

     Operating profit increased to $93.1 million in 1996 from $85.9 million in
1995 and $76.1 million in 1994. Operating profit margin increased to 5.4 percent
in 1996 from 5.0 percent in 1995 and 4.0 percent in 1994. Physical security
services operating profit increased to $62.1 million in 1996 from $56.4 million
in 1995 and $54.5 million in 1994. Electronic security services operating profit
increased to $18.9 million in 1996 from $15.8 million in 1995 and $14.9 million
in 1994. Armored security services operating profit was $12.1 million in 1996
compared with $13.7 million in 1995 and $6.7 million in 1994.

     Other income in 1994 included a gain of $9.9 million related to the sale of
trademarks and other rights to Borg-Warner Automotive.

     Interest expense, including the amortization of financing costs, increased
to $56.6 million in 1996 from $55.9 million in 1995 as a result of higher costs
associated with the issuance and renegotiation of certain bank lines of credit
and borrowing facilities. This was partially offset by the benefits of lower
short-term market rates of interest and lower average debt levels outstanding.
The increase in 1995 from $48.8 million in 1994 was due to higher market
interest rates combined with increased rates under the 1995 credit agreement
amendments and refinancing.

     Income taxes were $9.5 million and $6.9 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company's effective tax rate in 1996 was 40.6 percent, down
from 45.1 percent in 1995. The effective tax rate generally exceeds the
statutory rate because of non-deductible excess purchase price amortization. The
Company recorded a net income tax benefit in 1994 primarily because of
adjustments to deferred income taxes of $7.0 million related to changes in the
tax basis of certain liabilities as a result of sales and settlements.

     Earnings from continuing operations for 1996 were $13.9 million, up 65.5
percent from $8.4 million in 1995. Earnings from continuing operations were
$13.8 million in 1994. Including the impact of the discontinued Pony Express
Courier business, the Company incurred a net loss of $14.6 million in 1996,
compared with net earnings of $1.2 million in 1995, and $13.1 million in 1994.
Net earnings in 1995 included a charge of $4.7 million, net of tax, from the
early extinguishment of debt in connection with the amendment of the Company's
credit facilities.

International Operations

Revenues for 1996 were $116.7 million compared with $109.4 million in 1995 and
$101.7 million in 1994. Operations are primarily in Canada, Columbia and the
United Kingdom and principally involve the employment of contract guard
personnel.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company continues its strategy to become less capital intensive and to
produce steady cash flow from operations. In addition to internally generated
cash flow, the Company maintains financing resources that are sufficient to meet
working capital and other needs.

Cash Flow

The Company generated cash flow from operating activities of $86.9 million in
1996, compared to $52.4 million and
<PAGE>
 
$68.0 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The improved cash flow in 1996 was
due primarily to better working capital management.

  Capital expenditures of $40.7 million in 1996 were down from 1995 and 1994
levels of $47.8 million and $59.4 million, respectively. This reduction reflects
a more selective investment process, primarily within the electronic security
services segment.

  The Company also implemented a program in 1995 to securitize certain lease
contracts within the electronic security services segment. This program reduced
the internal capital requirements necessary to maintain and grow this line of
business.

Leverage/Capitalization

Debt was $442.6 million at year-end 1996, a reduction of $41.9 million from the
1995 year-end level of $484.5 million. This reduction primarily resulted from
cash flow from operations exceeding investing activities.

  In 1996, the Company repaid $100 million of 8% senior notes with $100 million
in proceeds from a bank term loan due December 31, 1998.

  The Company uses selective financial derivative instruments to limit exposure
to fluctuations in short term interest rates.

  At year-end 1996, the Company maintained bank lines of credit and borrowing
facilities totalling $332.2 million of which $283.6 million was utilized and
outstanding. Of the total, $41.6 million is available through June 1999 and $248
million matures at various dates through 1998, with the remainder maturing at
various dates in 1997. The bank credit lines and facilities provide for funds at
market rates of interest throughout the availability periods. The Company's term
loan facility requires partial prepayment if, at 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 has commitments, subject to certain customary conditions, from banks to
provide debt financing that would replace the existing term loan facility.

  The Company also maintained a $155 million letter of credit facility that is
available through 1998. The Company utilizes letters of credit to secure certain
of its obligations under various casualty insurance programs. At year-end 1996,
letters of credit totalling $136.3 million were issued and outstanding.

  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.

                                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following paragraphs briefly describe significant accounting policies.
Certain 1994 and 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include all significant subsidiaries. As
of September 30, 1996, the Company's courier unit has been treated as a
discontinued operation. The assets, liabilities, results of operations and
adjustments to carrying values of net assets, and cash flows of the courier unit
have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods
presented, and previously reported results have been restated (see Note 3).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists primarily of cash and certificates of deposit
with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost of substantially all
inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of relatively minor items are
generally charged to expense as incurred. Renewals of significant items are
capitalized. Depreciation is computed generally on the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives:

  Buildings and improvements  15 to 50 years
  Machinery and equipment  3 to 12 years
  Subscribers' installations  8 to 15 years
  Property under capital leases  3 to 7 years

Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined using the liability method, under which deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the
financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in
which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized
(see Note 11).

Retirement Benefit Plans

A number of eligible salaried and hourly employees participate in contributory
or noncontributory defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Funding policy
is based upon independent actuarial valuations and is within the limits required
by ERISA for U.S. defined benefit plans.

  The benefits provided to certain salaried employees covered under various
defined benefit plans are based on years of service and final average pay and
utilize the projected unit credit method for cost allocation. The benefits
provided to certain hourly employees under various defined benefit plans are
based on years of service and utilize the unit credit method for cost
allocation.

  Under the defined contribution plans, contributions by the Company or its
subsidiaries sponsoring the plans are based on the employees' salary, age, years
of service, and/or a fixed schedule. These contributions are charged to earnings
as they are made to the various plans.

Casualty Insurance Liabilities

The Company has accrued a discounted liability for the retained portion of
insurance costs related to its various
<PAGE>
 
Borg-Warner Security Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, continued


deductible policies. This insurance liability is determined by the Company based
on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The
discount rate used to value the future obligation at December 31, 1995 and 1996
was 5.5%.

Amortization of Excess of Purchase Price Over

Net Assets Acquired

Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 5 to 40 years, with the majority being amortized over
40 years. The Company periodically reviews its operations to determine whether
there has been a diminution in value of its excess purchase price over net
assets acquired.

Transactions with Borg-Warner Automotive

Under a tax-sharing agreement with the Company, for periods prior to January
1993, Borg-Warner Automotive is required to pay the Company for any operating
loss carry-forward apportioned to it at such time as the benefits related to
such carry-forward are realized by Borg-Warner Automotive. Also, certain costs
incurred at corporate headquarters are charged to Borg-Warner Automotive based
on a service agreement with the Company.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to interest
rate fluctuations. The Company does not use derivative instruments for
speculative purposes. The differential paid or received on interest rate swap
agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the period
incurred or earned.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the time services are provided. In certain
circumstances this can result in revenue recognition prior to customer billing
and revenue deferral from advance billings.


Earnings Per Common Share

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of." The adoption of this standard did not have a material
effect on the financial statements.

     In 1996, the Company also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). This
statement defines a new "fair value" method of accounting for stock-based
compensation expense, and requires certain additional disclosures. The statement
also allows the retention of the previous "intrinsic value" method of accounting
for expense recognition under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The Company has retained
the intrinsic value method and, therefore, the new standard had no effect on the
Company's net income or financial position (see Note 8).

     In October 1996, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position No. 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities,"
which is effective for calendar year 1997. The Company does not expect adoption
of this statement to have a material effect on the financial statements.

     In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," which the Company must adopt for transactions
occurring after December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect adoption of this
statement to have a material effect on the financial statements.

In November 1995 the Company replaced its previous $100 million accounts
receivable facility with an agreement to sell a $120 million undivided interest
in a revolving pool of customer receivables. This sold interest is reflected as
a reduction of "Receivables, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet
at December 31, 1995 and 1996. The Company retains, on a subordinated basis, an
undivided interest in the pool of receivables. The Company's retained interest
of $15.3 million and $34.9 million at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively,
is included with "Receivables, net" on the balance sheet. 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 December 31, 1995 and 1996
included interest-bearing cash deposits of $28.9 million and $9.3 million,
respectively, held in trust under the terms of the accounts receivable facility.
These deposits represent proceeds of collections held back 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.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses include provisions for losses on
receivables of $5.5 million, $4.4 million and $2.7 million in 1994, 1995 and
1996, respectively.

     Accumulated depreciation related to capital leases amounted to $11.0
million and $8.8 million at December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Accumulated amortization related to excess purchase price over net assets
acquired amounted to $77.8 million and $74.2 million at December 31, 1995 and
1996, respectively.

     Trade payables include checks outstanding in excess of bank deposits in the
Company's central disbursement accounts, since arrangements with the banks do
not call for reimbursement until checks are presented for payment. Such amounts
were $16.1 million and $32.7 million at December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

     The non-current portion of the casualty insurance liability, included in
other long-term liabilities, was $44.2 million at December 31, 1995 and 1996.
The total discounted insurance accrual, including the portion reflected in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, was $89.4 million and $88.6 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The estimated aggregate undiscounted
insurance liability was $101.6 million and $101.9 million at December 31, 1995
and 1996, respectively.

Note 3-Discontinued Operations

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's courier unit has been treated as a
discontinued operation. The assets, liabilities, results of operations and
adjustments to carrying values of net assets, and cash flows of the courier unit
have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods
presented, and previously reported results have been restated. As of December
31, 1996, the net assets of the discontinued operation consists mainly of
customer receivables, property, plant and equipment and accounts payable.

2001, $1.0 million; and after 2001, $151.4 million.

  Included in long-term debt at December 31, 1995 and 1996 were obligations of
$255.7 million and $154.5 million, respectively, with fixed interest rates and
$225.2 million and $283.7 million, respectively, with variable interest rates
(generally based on LIBOR or prime rate). Interest rate swap agreements with a
notional amount of $125 million at December 31, 1996 were utilized to manage
exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Under these agreements the Company has
exchanged variable rate payments based on LIBOR for fixed rate payments.

  In 1995, the Company completed a financing which updated more than $600
million of existing bank facilities. The financing included a $200 million
intermediate term loan, a $120 million accounts receivable facility, an
extension of the maturity of an existing letter of credit facility of $155
million, and amendments to an existing $166 million revolving credit facility.
The term loan and the receivables facility are available through December 31,
1998 while the revolving credit facility is available through June 30, 1999.

  The committed amount under the revolving credit facility

reduces semi-annually during the remaining commitment period. Available future
commitments at December 31 are as follows: 1997, $92.4 million; and 1998, $41.6
million. Unused commitments at December 31, 1996 under the revolving credit
facility were $48.6 million.

  The credit facilities contain numerous financial and operating covenants
including, among others, covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios and restricting its ability to incur additional indebtedness,
to create or permit to exist certain liens, or to pay dividends. To secure its
obligations under these facilities, the Company pledged the stock of certain of
its subsidiaries.

  In 1995, an extraordinary loss of $4.7 million, net of tax, was realized
related to the extinguishment of debt in connection with the amendment of the
Company's credit facilities.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 6--Contingent Liabilities

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 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 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, indemnification obligations in favor of the Company from the current
owners of certain sold or discontinued operations, 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).
The Company has requested that its discontinued automotive subsidiary, Borg-
Warner Automotive, indemnify it against certain past and future costs relating
to environmental and financing liabilities associated with certain former
automotive operations. At December 31, 1996 such past costs were approximately
$2.3 million. Borg-Warner Automotive has contested its indemnification
obligation with respect to such liabilities. 

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


Note 7--Retirement Benefits

The Company has various defined benefit and contribution plans which cover
eligible employees.

  Retirement benefit expense amounted to $5.8 million, $4.7 million and $4.5
million in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. This expense includes post-
retirement life insurance and medical benefits of $0.2 million, $0.3 million and
$0.3 million for 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, as well as defined
contribution plan expenses of $1.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.5 million in
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

these benefits as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 were $12.4 million and $11.5
million, respectively, and are included in "Other Long-Term Liabilities." The
discount rate used in determining this liability was 7.5% in 1995 and 8.0% in
1996. Medical expense increases are projected to be 7.25% in 1997 grading to
5.25% in 1999.

NOTE 8-STOCK OPTIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE-
MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE

Stock Option Plan

The Company has two plans which authorize the grant of options to purchase
3,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All options granted to date
carry exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $20.75 per share. These prices
correspond to the fair market value (as defined in the plans) of the Company's
common stock at the time of grant with a graded vesting schedule between two to
three years.

  In 1994, 1995 and 1996 there were no options canceled or converted.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1995 and 1996, respectively: expected volatility
of 43% and 41%; risk-free interest rates of 6.00-6.81% and 6.15-6.22%; and
expected lives of 4 and 3-4 years.

Notes Receivable-Management Stock Purchase

Included among the Company's equity holders are members of management. Purchases
of shares by management have been funded in part by loans from the Company.
These loans, which totaled approximately $0.3 million at December 31, 1995 and
1996, bear interest at approximately 6% and are offset against stockholders'
equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 9--Business Segment Information

The Company's continuing operations have been classified into three business
segments: guard, alarm and armored services. The guard segment provides contract
security officers to patrol client facilities, monitor electronic systems and
control public and employee access. The alarm segment primarily designs,
installs, monitors and services sophisticated electronic security systems and
fire and intrusion detection systems. The armored segment transports currency,
securities and other valuables. Additionally, this segment provides full-service
automated teller machine operations and cash management services such as deposit
verification and currency processing.

  Intersegment sales are not significant. Operating profit by business segment
represents total revenues less operating expenses, depreciation and
amortization, and excludes interest income, interest expense, income taxes and
net unallocated corporate expenses.

  Identifiable assets are those assets employed in each segment's operations,
including an allocated value to each segment of cost in excess of net assets
acquired. Corporate assets consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
certain corporate receivables and other assets.

Note 13--Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, notes payable and accounts payable

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.

Long-term debt

The carrying amounts of the Company's bank borrowings under its short-term bank
lines and revolving credit agreement approximate fair value because the interest
rates are based on floating rates identified by reference to market rates. The
fair values of the Company's other long-term debt either approximate carrying
value or are estimated based on quoted market prices for the same or similar
issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same
remaining maturities.

  The carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt at December 31, 1995
and 1996 were as follows:

</TABLE>

Interest rate swaps

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate swap agreements involve the
exchange of interest obligations on fixed and floating interest rate debt
without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The differential paid
or received on interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to
interest expense over the term of the underlying debt agreement. The book value
of the interest rate swap agreements represents the differential receivable or
payable with a swap counterparty since the last settlement date.

  The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Company
would receive or pay to terminate the agreement. The fair value is calculated
using current market rates and the remaining terms of the agreements. The fair
value of interest rate swaps at December 31, 1996 is not significant. In the
unlikely event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of an interest rate
swap, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential. The
underlying notional amounts on which the Company has interest rate swap
agreements outstanding was $100 million at December 31, 1995 and $125 million at
December 31, 1996.

Letters of credit

The Company utilizes third-party letters of credit to guarantee certain casualty
insurance activities. The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of
their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the
marketplace. The contract value/fair value of the letters of credit at December
31, 1995 and 1996 were $150.3 million and $136.3 million, respectively. To
monitor the counterparties' ability to perform, these letters of credit are only
executed with major financial institutions, and full performance is anticipated.

unit with Loomis Holding Corporation. The unaudited Pro Forma Financial
Information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and
gives effect to (i) the disposition of substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of the armored unit and other adjustments related to the
business combination and (ii) the application of the net proceeds received by
the Company to repay certain indebtedness.  The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 gives
effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 1996.
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1996 is
presented giving effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated as
of that date.

  While the Company anticipates that it will recognize a gain from the sale of
the armored unit's net assets, the ultimate gain is subject to potential
purchase price adjustments and other contingencies of which the amounts have not
been finalized at this time. However, the Company does not anticipate that the
gain will be material, and the Company does not expect any material nonrecurring
charges or credits to result from the transaction.

  The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is intended for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the future results of
operations or financial position of the Company had the transactions described
above occurred on the indicated dates or been in effect for the periods
presented.

  The unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and the accompanying notes
should be read in conjunction with the historical Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company, including the related notes thereto.

Notes to Pro Forma Statement of Operations and Balance Sheet

a) To eliminate the historical revenues and expenses of the armored unit.

b) To eliminate debt retired with proceeds received from the transaction and to
adjust related interest expense. Cash proceeds from the transaction, net of
transaction and related expenses, were approximately $105 million and were
applied as follows: decrease in borrowings under the term loan, $80 million;
decrease in borrowings under the revolving line of credit, $10 million; and
increase in interest-bearing cash deposits under the accounts receivable
facility, $15 million. The interest expense adjustment was computed using the
average interest rates for the respective periods. Such rates were used because
management believes these rates would have been the same if the facilities had
been negotiated by the Company on a stand-alone basis without the armored unit.

c) To record the estimated income tax effect for the pro forma adjustments
described in Notes (a) and (b) for the respective periods.

d) To recognize, under the equity method, the Company's 49% interest in the pro
forma net assets and earnings of Loomis, Fargo & Co.

e) To eliminate the sold assets and liabilities of the armored unit.

f) For anticipated expenses incurred as a direct result of the business
combination and for purchase price adjustments under the contribution agreement,
including indemnifications and performance guarantees.

                                                    Independent Auditors' Report


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Borg-Warner Security Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Borg-Warner Security
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Borg-Warner Security Corporation
and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                                      EXHIBIT 99


Information provided by the Company from time to time may contain "forward-
looking statements" as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
including, but not limited to, those discussed below, which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statement.

1. The Company's business is labor intensive and, accordingly, is affected by
the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor. Contraction of
the labor market in the various regions of the United States where the Company
has its principal operations, whether caused by high economic growth in such
regions or any other factors, may increase the Company's direct costs through
higher wages and increased amounts of unbilled overtime. Employee turnover can
result in increased recruiting, screening and training costs and affect the
quality of service performed by the Company. In addition, while the Company's
customer agreements typically adjust the billing rate based on changes in any
law, ruling or collective bargaining agreement causing change in wage rates or
other costs, competitive pricing conditions in the industry may constrain the
Company's ability to adjust its billing rates to reflect such increased costs.

2. The Company has a significant amount of debt compared to stockholders'
equity. The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important
consequences to the Company's operations, including (i) the Company's ability to
obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be
limited; (ii) a significant portion of the Company's cash flow from operations
must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness,
thereby reducing the funds available to the Company for its operations; (iii)
certain of the Company's borrowings are and will continue to be at variable
rates of interest, which could result in higher interest expenses in the event
of increases in interest rates; (iv) such indebtedness contains and will contain
financial and restrictive covenants, the failure to comply with which may result
in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

3. The Company continues to remain responsible for certain liabilities of
businesses which the Company discontinued or disposed of in prior years,
consisting primarily of environmental liabilities and indemnity obligations
under contracts for sale of businesses. Although the Company believes that any
liabilities remaining with respect to discontinued operations (including any
potential environmental liabilities) will not have a material adverse effect on
its financial position or operating results, no assurance can be given as to the
ultimate outcome with respect to such liabilities.

4. Due to the nature of the Company's security services business, its operations
are subject to a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws,
regulations and licensing requirements. Changes in such laws, regulations and
licensing requirements may constrain the Company's ability to provide services
to customers or increase the costs of such services. Competitive pricing
conditions in the industry may constrain the Company's ability to adjust its
billing rates to reflect such increased costs.

5. The nature of the Company's services potentially exposes it to greater risks
of liability for
<PAGE>
 
employee acts, injuries (including workers' compensation claims) or omissions
than may be posed by other service businesses. The Company carries insurance of
various types, including workers' compensation, automobile and general liability
coverage. These policies include deductibles per occurrence for which the
Company is self-insured. While the Company seeks to maintain appropriate levels
of insurance, there can be no assurance that the Company will avoid significant
future catastrophic claims or adverse publicity related thereto. There can be no
assurance that the Company's insurance will be adequate to cover the Company's
liabilities or that such insurance coverage will remain available at acceptable
costs. A successful claim brought against the Company for which coverage is
denied or which is in excess of its insurance coverage could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

6. Through 1993 the Company grew through acquisitions. More recently, cost
pressures facing the Company and the entire protective services industry and
expectations on pricing of acquisitions have made acquisitions less attractive
to the Company. While the Company will continue to pursue acquisitions when
attractive opportunities arise, there can be no assurance that the Company will
complete acquisitions at favorable prices, that such acquisitions will be
successfully integrated into the Company's existing operations or that such
acquisitions will not be dilutive to earnings. In addition, the need to focus
management's attention on integration of acquired businesses may limit the
Company's ability to pursue other opportunities related to its business.

7. The protective services industry generally is highly fragmented and very
competitive. The Company's physical security unit competes in a business
environment with low barriers to entry, while its electronic security unit
competes in a business environment characterized by relatively high capital
investment due to the equipment and technology required. Consequently, the
Company's business is subject to additional competition and the introduction of
new technology or enhancements to existing technology. Some of the Company's
competitors are materially larger than the Company and have greater financial
and other resources available to them. Given the Company's high degree of
leverage and the restrictions on capital spending contained in its credit
facilities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain
levels of spending required to provide customers with advanced technological
equipment.
