1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Optical Security Group, Inc. (the "Company"), is a technology company which,
through its principal subsidiaries, Optical Security Industries, Inc. ("OpSec
U.S."), Optical Security Industries International, Plc ("OpSec International"),
Dimensional Printing Industries, Inc. ("DPI"), now doing business as OpSec
Creative Technologies, and OpSec Pasternak & Partner GmbH & Co., KG ("OpSec
Pasternak") provides products and solutions to businesses and governments for
the problems of product tampering and counterfeiting, diversion of goods, and
illegal document alteration and copying. In addition, the Company provides
materials and products for use in decorative packaging and other commercial
applications, including holography and dimensional printing for book
illustrations and trading cards, and for consumer product promotions. The
Company's principal markets are the United States and Western Europe.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollar equivalents based on exchange rates prevailing at the end of each year.
Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year.
Aggregate foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of
foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are included in
stockholders' equity, and realized gains and losses are reflected in income.
The Company conducts business with various foreign entities. As such, the
Company's future profitability could be affected in the near term by fluctuating
exchange rates.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course of business
primarily in the United States and Western Europe. The Company periodically
performs credit analyses and monitors customers' financial condition in order to
reduce credit risk. Annual credit losses have been minimal and have
consistently been within management's expectations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and notes payable
have fair values which approximate their recorded values as the financial
instruments are either short term in nature or carry interest rates which
approximate market rates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment, which are stated at cost, are depreciated over their
estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of
their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method. The ranges of estimated useful lives
are as follows:

GOODWILL AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and other
identifiable assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from business
combinations. Goodwill at September 30, 1997 is associated with the acquisition
of OpSec Pasternak and the purchase of the minority interest in DPI in fiscal
1997, and the acquisition of ELEF, Plc during fiscal year 1995.

Optical Security Group, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Other intangible assets consist primarily of license agreements that provide the
Company with royalties from the use and sale of holographic and diffraction
patterns by various licensees, and a license that allows the Company exclusive
rights to employ technology developed by others in its products.
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over lives of 15 to 20
years. License agreements are being amortized over lives of 8 to 10 years.
Goodwill and license agreements are reviewed for impairment whenever events
indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When the Company
believes that those assets may not be recoverable, it estimates the future cash
flows to be generated by the business associated with those assets. In the
event that the sum of the cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those
assets, the assets would be written down to their fair value, which is normally
measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.
INVENTORY
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method. Inventory on hand consists principally of raw materials used in
embossing polyester films and foils and material used in dimensional printing.
Additionally, at year-end, a portion of the inventory consisted of work-in-
process and finished goods.
PATENTS AND PATENT APPLICATIONS
The Company capitalizes legal costs directly incurred in pursuing patent
applications. When such application results in an issued patent, the related
costs are amortized over the remaining legal life of the patent, using the
straight-line method. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its issued
patents and pending patent applications, and if it determines to abandon a
patent application, or that an issued patent no longer has economic value, the
unamortized balance in patent costs relating to that patent is expensed.
It is possible the above estimates of future economic life of the Company's
patents, the amount of future revenues, or both, will be reduced significantly
in the near term due to alternative technologies developed by similar entities.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which is required
to be adopted on March 31, 1998. The Company has adopted the required method to
compute earnings per share and has restated all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128 on prior periods is not expected to be material.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME OR LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Primary earnings or loss per share of common stock, after preferred stock
dividend requirements, for the periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, are
based on weighted average outstanding shares. Fully diluted loss per share for
the period ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 was not computed as the effect of
common stock equivalents is antidilutive. Fully diluted earnings per share for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 include common stock equivalents from stock
options and warrants. Earnings and loss per share were computed for the
current and prior period under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board in February 1997.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the September 30, 1996 financial statements were reclassified
to conform with the September 30, 1997 presentation.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On December 10, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of OpSec Pasternak
& Partner, GmbH, a corporation based in Germany. The purchase price, net of
acquisition costs, was approximately $5 million, including 466,668 common shares
of the Company valued at $2.8 million, cash of $1.2 million, and a promissory
note bearing interest at 6% for $1 million. The acquisition resulted in
goodwill of $5,017,918. OpSec Pasternak had previously operated as an
independent broker selling the Company's dimensional printed products in Europe.
During fiscal 1997, the Company formed Dimensional Printing Industries, LLC to
manufacture dimensional printed products. DPI was formed in September 1996,
with the Company owning a 51% membership interest. The Company purchased the
other 49% minority interest in two transactions before year end for a total cost
of $650,668, including all related acquisition costs, which have been recorded
as goodwill. DPI was converted to a corporation subsequent to year-end.
3. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
During fiscal 1995, the Company issued $1.25 million of Convertible Subordinated
Secured Notes to related parties. These notes, which bore interest at 12% per
annum, paid quarterly, were convertible into the Company's common stock at the
rate of $4.05 per common share. For the first two years, the noteholders were
entitled to receive 60% of the interest payment in the form of the Company's
common stock, valued at 70% of the average public trading price on the 30 days
preceding the interest due date, and 40% in cash. In the interest of preserving
the Company's working capital position, the noteholders waived the cash portion
of the quarterly interest, and accepted 100% of the payment in the Company's
common stock through June 30, 1995. Effective July 1, 1995, the Company issued
400,000 shares of Preferred Series A shares in exchange for the cancellation of
$1.25 million of Convertible Subordinated Secured Notes.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Effective March 27, 1997, the Company completed a financing arrangement with a
group of individual investors, including officers and directors, and with
various institutional investors in which 526,899 common shares were issued at
$6.00 per share. The private placement resulted in total proceeds, net of
offering costs, of $3,128,268.
The Company also completed by March 15, 1997, the conversion of 5,675 shares of
Series B 8% Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Voting Stock ("Series
B Shares") into common stock. The Company issued a total of 945,833 common
shares in the conversion. Warrants for 472,916 common shares exercisable at
$6.00 per share were also issued to those Series B shareholders electing to
convert early. The conversion included Series B Shares held by officers and
directors of the Company. A total of 400,000 common shares and 200,000 warrants
were issued to these related parties.
During fiscal 1996, the Company issued 6,693 shares of Preferred Series B
Stock, including 4,293 issued for cash at $1,000 per share, and 2,400 issued in
exchange and full cancellation for the previously outstanding Preferred Series A
shares. In conjunction with the issuance of the Preferred Series B, the Company
granted a warrant to purchase 85,860 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $7.13 per share. Subsequent to year end March 31, 1996, the
Company completed its Preferred Series B stock offering, issuing 775 shares at
$1,000 per share, resulting in total proceeds of $4,491,036, net of issuance
costs.
The Series B shareholders have voting rights equal to the number of common
shares that would be held if converted. The Series B shares are convertible
into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6.00 per
common share. Each Series B share can be converted into 166.67 common shares.
The Series B shares are entitled to receive an 8% per annum cumulative dividend
payable out of legally available funds. At the option of the Company, upon 30
days prior written notice, the Series B shares are redeemable, in whole or in
part, from time to time, commencing on or after March 30, 1998 at the redemption
price set forth in the following table. The shares are redeemable if the common
stock trades at 150% of the conversion price for at least 30 consecutive trading
days.

4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
The Company is restricted from paying dividends on its common shares pursuant to
the terms of its Preferred Series B shares. No dividends or other payments can
be declared and paid on the common stock unless the Company also declares and
pays dividends on the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series B shares and unless there are no accrued and unpaid dividends on the
Series B shares. On September 30, 1997, the cumulative unpaid dividend on the
Series B Shares of $35,860 was declared and subsequently paid on July 2, 1997.
The preferred dividend scheduled for fiscal 1998 on the reduced number of
outstanding Series B Shares will be $143,440, or $35,860 per quarter.
On April 1, 1996, the Company's chief executive officer and president, entered
into a new employment contract with the Company effective through March 31,
1999. The chief executive officer's previous employment agreement was to
terminate on September 17, 1996. Under the terms of the new contract, all
options granted to the chief executive officer through March 31, 1996 remain in
full force and effect. The chief executive officer's salary is $150,000 for the
first year, $175,000 for the second year and $200,000 for the third year. As
additional compensation, the chief executive officer will be granted additional
options during the term of the contract in sufficient amounts to maintain the
chief executive officer's percentage beneficial ownership of the Company's
common stock as of December 31, 1995, less common stock the chief executive
officer sells or otherwise disposes of after that date. The chief executive
officer also is entitled to discretionary bonuses in such amount as the board of
directors may determine. The new employment contract also provides that, if the
Company is sold or merged into another Company prior to March 31, 2000, the
chief executive officer will receive a stock bonus of 250,000 shares. If the
Company terminates the chief executive officer's employment prior to the
expiration of the contract, the chief executive officer is entitled to a buyout
at 150% of the value of the contract at the time of termination.

6. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.
The Company's ISOP and NSOP has authorized the grant of options to management
personnel and directors for up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. All options granted have 1-4 year terms and vest and become fully
exercisable at the end of 1-4 years of continued employment.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement No. 123 which also requires that the information be determined as if
the Company has accounted for its employee stock options granted subsequent to
March 31, 1995 under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value
for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1997
and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.52% to 6.49%; a dividend
yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company's
common stock of .212; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 3.5
years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options being neither transferable nor
unrestricted, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of
its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The effects of
applying Statement 123 in the year of adoption are not likely to be
representative of the effects on pro forma net income for future years. The
Company's pro forma information follows (in thousands except for earnings per
share information):

is 3.28 years.
7. NOTES PAYABLE
During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company opened a revolving credit
line with Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Company in Baltimore, Maryland. The
$2 million facility is secured by the assets of the Company. At September 30,
1997, the Company had a balance outstanding of $366,000.
On July 22, 1997, the Company closed on the issuance of $1,235,000 in Economic
Development Revenue Bonds to finance the purchase and improvements to the
manufacturing facility acquired in Baltimore County, with Mercantile-Safe
Deposit and Trust Company funding the bond issue. The bridge loan provided by
the line-of-credit was paid off upon closing of the bond issue. At September
30, 1997, the outstanding balance on the loan was $910,145.
As of May 6, 1997, the Company had paid off, in full, the $1 million in short-
term debt that financed a portion of the OpSec Pasternak purchase. The payoff
was funded substantially through working capital of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
- --------------------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $4,660,530, a 72%
increase when compared to the revenues of $2,709,787 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. Sales grew 66% in the holographic division with continuing
significant increases in revenues resulting from authenticating label and tag
sales for the NFL over-all licensing program and Exelgram(R) embossed foil sales
for American Express travelers' cheques. Revenue growth of 79% also occurred in
OpSec's dimensional printing division, as sales expanded based on the addition
of internally controlled manufacturing capabilities, both in the U.S. and
Europe, and the purchase of the Company's previously independent German sales
agent.
Gross profits for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased 19.4% to
$1,224,705 compared to $1,025,995 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The
gross profit margin of 26.28% decreased from the 37.86% for the comparable
quarter of the prior year. Margins on holographic sales remained steady, while
margins on lenticular sales are below historical performance levels.
Improvements and controls in our dimensional printing operation were begun in
our first fiscal quarter, and will continue to be phased in. The Company
believes these improvements will result in a gradual improvement in overall
profit margins over the ensuing quarters.
Operating expenses of $1,399,463 grew 60.3% compared to the prior fiscal year,
an increase of $526,163, of which $435,000 resulted from the addition of the
dimensional printing division and the operating expenses of our German agent
which was purchased during the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Compensation and related costs increased 48.2%, or $227,533; depreciation and
amortization increased 55.3% or $112,198; and, all other operating expenses
increased 56.6% or $186,432.
The Company incurred a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 of
$187,843, as compared to net income of $180,382 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996. Interest expense increased $22,214 as the Company has utilized a line
of credit to finance its growing working capital needs. The Company paid a
dividend on the Series B shares of $35,860 for the quarter ended September 30,
1997, a decrease of $113,500 as compared to dividends paid in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. No significant tax liabilities were reported for the
quarter. The Company carries significant net operating losses for U.S. tax
reporting purposes.
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
- ---------------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were $5,420,881, a 133% increase
when compared to the revenues of $2,326,574 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
Sales grew in the holographic division with significant increases in revenues
resulting from authenticating label and tag sales for the NFL over-all licensing
program and Exelgram/R/ embossed foil sales for American Express travelers'
cheques. Strong revenue growth also occurred in OpSec's dimensional printing
division, as sales expanded based on the addition of internally controlled
manufacturing capabilities, both in the U.S. and Europe, and the purchase of the
Company's previously independent German sales agent.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Gross profits for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 96% to $1,611,357
compared to $822,113 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The gross profit
margin of 29.7% decreased from the 35.3% for the comparable quarter of the prior
year. The gross profit margins are below historical performance levels, as
difficulties in our dimensional printing operations, (the processes and controls
of which were brought in-house in the second half of last year) produced a less
than optimal profit contribution.
Operating expenses of $1,374,895 grew 82.5% compared to the prior fiscal year,
an increase of $621,598. All costs categories increased as a result of the
addition of the dimensional printing division to operations since the second
half of the last fiscal year, and the purchase of our German agent during the
third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Compensation and related costs
increased 52.7% or $221,473; depreciation and amortization increased 185.4% or
$121,950; and, all other operating expenses increased 104.2% or $278,175.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 improved $119,164 to $222,060, as
compared to $102,896 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Interest expense
increased $9,691 as the Company added a revolving credit line. With the
conversion of 76% of the Series B Shares into common stock during the fourth
quarter of the prior fiscal year, the dividend payment decreased $109,211 to
$35,860. No significant tax liabilities were reported for the quarter. The
Company carries significant net operating losses for U.S. tax reporting
purposes.
