2. INVENTORY

Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (first-in,  first-out) or market and
consist primarily of raw materials.

3. LONG TERM DEBT

The Company has a credit facility with a New York bank (the "Credit  Facility").
The revolving  credit portion of the facility is $2,300,000 and expired on March
31, 1998 and has a loan payoff  requirement  by June 30, 1998. The Company is in
discussions  with  several  banks  for a new  credit  facility  and  expects  to
refinance the credit facility with another bank institution. The Credit Facility
includes  an  additional  $315,000  twenty-nine  month term loan (with a monthly
amortization of $5,952 and a balloon  payment at September 1, 1999).  The Credit
Facility has an annual facility fee of .5% and capital  expenditures are limited
to $250,000.  At March 31, 1998 a total of $1,717,083 was outstanding under this
facility. The Credit Facility currently provides for interest at prime plus 1.5%
on outstanding balances. Advances under the credit facility are measured against
a borrowing base calculated on eligible  receivables  and inventory.  The credit
facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company and all of its operating
subsidiaries, as well as a $300,000 letter of credit provided by Mirtronics Inc.

The Credit Facility includes certain  restrictive  covenants,  which among other
things,  impose  limitations on declaring or paying dividends,  acquisitions and
capital expenditures. The Company is also required to maintain various financial
ratios.  At  March  31,  1998,  the  Company  was not in  default  of any of its
financial covenants.

4. NOTES PAYABLE TO MIRTRONICS

At March 31, 1998, notes payable to Mirtronics include:


         $620,000 Convertible note at 10% interest
          225,000 Non-convertible note at 10% interest
         $845,000

The $620,000 note may be converted into 1,240,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at $.50 per share until December 31, 2002.  While the notes are payable on
demand,  they are subordinate to and subject to a payment  restriction under the
Company's  credit  facility with its bank and,  therefore,  are  classified as a
non-current liability.

5. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

In  consideration  of collateral  support for the Company's  Credit Facility and
various loans over several years,  the Company granted to Mirtronics  options to
purchase the Company's  Common Stock.  Mirtronics had the right to acquire up to
an aggregate of  1,840,000  shares of common stock at an exercise  price of $.30
per  share,  a  portion  of  which  are held for the  benefit  of the  Company's
Chairman.  These  options were to expire on December  31, 1998.  The Company had
previously entered into a Debt/Equity agreement that provided for the retirement
of debt and the issuance to  Mirtronics  of 675,000  shares of Preferred  Stock,
which  could  also be  converted  into  1,350,000  shares  of Common  Stock.  In
addition,  the  Company was  indebted to  Mirtronics  for  materials,  loans and
miscellaneous advances in the aggregate amount of $170,218.

On February  17,  1998,  the  Company and  Mirtronics  reached an  agreement  to
restructure the options, convertible debt and preferred stock held by Mirtronics
so as to reduce the potential  dilution of these  securities by 1,100,000 shares
of common  stock.  Under this  agreement,  Firetector  redeemed  the $675,000 of
Convertible  Preferred  Stock and $170,000 of convertible  debt for an aggregate
price of $845,000.  These  securities were  convertible into 1,690,000 shares of
common stock. In satisfaction thereof,  Firetector issued a $620,000 Convertible
Note, with interest at 10%,  payable upon demand and convertible  into 1,240,000
shares of common  stock at a conversion  price of $.50 per share until  December
31, 2002 and a $225,000 Note (without a convertible  feature),  with interest at
10%, payable upon demand.  The foregoing notes are subordinate to and subject to
a payment restriction under the terms of the credit facility. Also in connection
with this restructuring, Mirtronics exercised 1,840,000 options for common stock
for  an  aggregate  consideration  of  $552,000  and  Firetector  simultaneously
repurchased 650,000 of the newly issued shares for $552,000.

The Company has a receivable from Mirtronics and its  subsidiaries in the amount
of $514,950 at March 31, 1998.

The Company is also indebted, on a demand basis, to First Corporate Equity Ltd.,
an affiliate of a director of  Mirtronics,  for notes  payable in the  aggregate
amount of $144,560 at March 31, 1998.

In  consideration  of collateral  support for the Company's  Credit  Facility in
1994, the Company granted Gentera Capital  Corporation,  an Ontario Corporation,
("GCC"  formerly  known as First  Corporate  Capital  Inc.)  options for 500,000
unregistered  shares of the  Company's  common  stock at $.30 per share  through
December 31, 1999. In July 1996, GCC exercised  100,000 of these options at $.30
per share. An officer of GCC is also a director of Mirtronics.

Effective  January 1, 1997, in  accordance  with the  employment  contract of an
officer/director,  the registrant repurchased 25,312 shares of common stock at a
price of  $12.96  per share by means of a seven  year  promissory  note  bearing
interest at a rate of 4% per annum.

6.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 128  "Earnings  Per
Shares" which requires  companies to report basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS")  computations  effective with the Company's  quarter ending December 31,
1997. Basic EPS excludes  dilution and is based on the  weighted-average  common
shares  outstanding  and  diluted  EPS gives  effect to  potential  dilution  of
securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted EPS reflects
the assumed  issuance of shares with  respect to the  Company's  employee  stock
options,   non-employee  stock  options,  warrants  and  convertible  notes  and
preferred  stock.  The computation for the three and six months ending March 31,
1997 has been  restated to conform to the  requirements  of SFAS N0. 128.  Shown
below is a table  that sets  forth  the  respective  calculations  for basic and
diluted EPS

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Unaudited)


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a credit  facility with a New York City bank (which was recently
acquired  by another  New York City bank) (the  "Credit  Facility").  The credit
facility  provides for a $2,300,000  revolving  line of credit through March 31,
1998 and a $315,000  twenty-nine month term loan (with a monthly amortization of
$5,952 and a balloon  payment at  September  1, 1999).  At March 31,  1998,  the
Company  owed  $1,717,083  under the terms of the  credit  facility.  The credit
facility  currently  provides  for  interest  at prime plus 1.5% on  outstanding
balances.  Advances under the credit  facility are measured  against a borrowing
base calculated on eligible  receivables  and inventory.  The credit facility is
secured  by  all  of  the  assets  of the  Company  and  all  of  its  operating
subsidiaries,  as well as a $300,000  letter of credit provided by the Company's
majority shareholder.

The credit facility includes various covenants, which among other things, impose
limitations  on  declaring  or  paying   dividends,   acquisitions  and  capital
expenditures. The Company is also required to maintain various financial ratios.
At September 30, 1997,  and  continuing  through March 31, 1998, the Company was
not in default of any of its financial covenants.

The credit facility expired on March 31, 1998 and has a loan payoff  requirement
by June 30, 1998.  The Company is in  discussions  with several  banks for a new
credit  facility and expects to refinance the credit  facility with another bank
institution.

Net cash used by operations  for the six months ended March 31, 1998 amounted to
$35,812 as compared to cash being  provided by  operations  of $364,751  for the
comparable  prior  year  period.  The  primary  reason  for  the  use of cash in
operations  was the decrease in income from  operations and a reduction of trade
payables.  The Company further  anticipates meeting its future cash requirements
through continuation of the negotiation of terms with its customers prior to the
beginning  of a  project,  the  monitoring  of its terms  during a  project  and
completing projects in timely fashion, resulting in faster final payments. It is
the intention of the Company to continue this program throughout fiscal 1998


Results of Operations

The Company's  product  revenues during the three and six months ended March 31,
1998  decreased to  $2,376,370  and  $4,096,182  as compared to  $3,077,270  and
$6,828,947, respectively for the comparable prior year periods. Product revenues
during the 1997 quarter and six month period included approximately $950,000 and
$1,750,000,  respectively of billing in relation to one transit  project,  which
involved the sale of  approximately  $700,000 and $1,365,000,  respectively,  of
lower  margin  products  purchased  from a third party for resale.  In addition,
during the 1997 six month period,  product  sales  benefitted  from  significant
construction  projects in both the New York and Dallas market areas.  During and
subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company  received new
product orders of $3.9 million, which will be shipped in future periods.


<PAGE>


2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Unaudited)

Service  revenues  during the same three and six month periods of 1998 decreased
to  $1,053,569  and  $2,181,110  as  compared  to  $1,129,848  and   $2,202,119,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. The decrease reflects lower
than  normal  call-in  service  during the 1998  quarter  and six month  periods
compared to the comparable 1997 periods.  Competition  for new product  revenues
and retention of existing service contracts remains high in New York.

Gross profit  percentage on product revenues for the three and six month periods
ended March 31,  1998 was 38% and 37%,  respectively,  as compared  with 32% and
30%,  respectively,  for the comparable 1997 periods. The increased gross profit
percentage on product revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998
relates primarily to an improved product mix compared to the 1997 periods, which
included  the  transit  project  noted above that  carried a lower than  typical
margin on products manufactured by an outside vendor.

Gross profit  percentage on service revenues for the three and six month periods
ended March 31,  1998 was 34% and 37%,  respectively,  as compared  with 38% and
37%,  respectively,  for the  comparable  1997  periods.  The lower gross profit
percentage on service revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998
is due to the decrease in call-in service that occurred during the current three
month period.

Income from operating activities for the three and six month periods ended March
31, 1998 was $106,064  and  $116,194,  respectively,  as compared to income from
operations  of $213,946 and  $501,399  for the  comparable  1997  periods.  This
decrease is primarily  attributable to lower product  revenues as the prior year
three and six month periods  included product sales from a major sports facility
in Texas and  commencement of shipments on several delayed projects in New York.
During the three and six month periods of 1997, a transit  project  involved the
sale of  approximately  $700,000 and  $1,365,000,  respectively  of lower margin
products  manufactured  by an outside  vendor.  While the decline in income from
operations  during the 1998 periods was related to lower  product  shipments and
reduced call-in service revenues, the decline was minimized by an improvement in
product  gross  margin  percentage  due to product  mix and from lower  selling,
general and  administrative  expenses  related to the  Company's  previous  cost
containment  program.  During the past nine months,  the Company has intensified
its marketing efforts and expanded its product territory.  While this effort has
offset  savings in selling,  general and  administrative  cost,  the Company has
experienced an improvement in new order bookings, as noted below.

The  Company had a current  income tax  provision  representing  state and local
taxes and the  alternative  minimum tax for federal income  purposes.  The lower
provision  during the 1998 periods  reflects  the effect of reduced  income from
operations.

The  Company's  order  position at March 31,  1998  amounted  to  $6,200,000  as
compared to  $5,100,000  at December 31, 1997 and  $6,400,000 at March 31, 1997.
Subsequent to March 31, 1998,  the Company has received  significant  new orders
from an airport hotel, several major subway complexes,  a major media company, a
hospital  center and a nursing home.  These orders have  increased the Company's
order position to over $8,800,000 as of April 28, 1998.  Management believes its
recent  intensified  marketing  efforts will enable it to maintain a significant
product order position.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities.

              On  February  17,  1998,  the Company  and  Mirtronics  reached an
agreement to restructure the options,  convertible debt and preferred stock held
by  Mirtronics  so as to reduce the  potential  dilution of these  securities by
1,100,000 shares of common stock. Under this agreement,  Firetector redeemed the
$675,000 of Convertible  Preferred Stock and $170,000 of convertible debt for an
aggregate price of $845,000.  These  securities were  convertible into 1,690,000
shares of common stock. In satisfaction  thereof,  Firetector  issued a $620,000
Convertible Note, with interest at 10%, payable upon demand and convertible into
1,240,000  shares of common stock at a conversion  price of $.50 per share until
December 31, 2002 and a $225,000  Note  (without a  convertible  feature),  with
interest  at  10%,   payable  upon  demand.   Also  in   connection   with  this
restructuring,  Mirtronics  exercised  1,840,000 options for common stock for an
aggregate  consideration of $552,000 and Firetector  simultaneously  repurchased
650,000 of the newly issued shares for $552,000.



Item 3.   Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

               Not Applicable

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

         The  Registrant's  Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on March 26,
1998.  Stockholders  considered  and  voted  upon (1) the  election  of five (5)
Directors to  Firetector's  Board of  Directors;  and (2)  appointment  of Moore
Stephens, P.C. as Firetector's Auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30,
