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, LLC ("DPI"), and OpSec Pasternak & Partner
Holding, GmbH ("OP&P Holding") which owns 100% of OpSec Pasternak & Partner GmbH
("OP&P") provides products and solutions to businesses and governments for the
problems of product tampering and counterfeiting, grey marketing 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.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment 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.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 December 31, 1996 is associated with the acquisition
of ELEF, Plc during fiscal year 1995; the acquisition of OP&P effective November
1, 1996; and the increase in ownership (from 51% to 70%) of DPI during the same
quarter. 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.
Goodwill associated with the acquisition of ELEF, Plc is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a 20-year life. All other goodwill is being amortized
over a 15-year life. License agreements are being amortized over a 10-year life.
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.
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.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued two standards that will
be applicable to the Company beginning in fiscal year 1997. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFAS No. 121"), is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Company. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"), gives companies the option to either follow fair
value accounting or to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25"), and related
interpretations.
The Company has elected to continue to follow APB No. 25 for future stock
options and stock-based awards.
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
applicable to common stock (net income less preferred dividends) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common share
equivalents were only included in the computation for the quarter ended December
31, 1995, and were excluded from the net loss per share for prior periods and
for the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 since their effect would be
anti-dilutive. The Series B stock is not considered a common stock equivalent in
any period.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On December 15, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a one-to-five
reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, effective for stockholders
of record on February 28, 1995. The amendment of the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation adjusted the Company's authorized capital stock to
15,000,000 shares of $0.005 par value common stock, and 2,500,000 shares of
$0.01 par value preferred stock. All references in the accompanying financial
statements to the number of shares, per share amounts, stock option and warrant
data, and market prices of the Company's common stock have been retroactively
restated to reflect the reverse stock split.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the December 31, 1995 financial statements were reclassified
to conform with the December 31, 1996 presentation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating
to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
technological developments, new products, research and development activities
and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with
the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could
cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-
looking statements.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On May 1, 1994, the Company's subsidiary, Optical Security Industries, Inc.,
acquired 100% of the stock of ELEF, Plc, a corporation based in the United
Kingdom. The purchase price was approximately $1.75 million, including 40,000
common shares of the Company valued at $122,500, with the balance paid in cash.
The acquisition resulted in goodwill and license agreements of $1,340,505 and
$253,447, respectively. On October 21, 1994, the Company's subsidiary, Light
Fantastic, Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets of The Diffraction
Company, based in Maryland. The purchase price was approximately $795,000,
including 60,000 common shares of the Company valued at $157,500, a note payable
to the seller of $115,923 and the balance in cash. The acquisition resulted in
an allocation of the excess purchase price over net assets to license agreements
of $288,574.
Effective November 1, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of OP&P, a
corporation based in Germany. The purchase price, including costs, was
approximately $5.1 million, including 466,668 common shares of the Company
valued at $2,800,000, a promissory note of $1 million maturing in three years
and bearing interest at 6%, with the balance paid in cash. The acquisition
resulted in goodwill of approximately $5,035,000. OP&P has been the Company's
largest European sales agent.
During the quarter ending December 31, 1996, the Company increased its ownership
in DPI from 51% to 70% for $250,000. This amount has been added to goodwill. DPI
was formed to bring proprietary technology and a controlled manufacturing
process to the Company's lenticular (dimensional printing on lens) business.
At the end of DPI's second full fiscal year, DPI's minority member shall have
the right to require the Company to purchase all, but not less than all, of the
membership interest held by the minority member. The purchase price shall be
four times the average of DPI's annual net cash flow for the eight calendar
quarters immediately preceding the exercise date multiplied by the percentage
ownership interest held by the minority member. The purchase price shall be paid
50% in cash and 50% by delivery of a promissory note. The note shall bear
interest at a commercial bank's prime rate and shall be due in three years from
the exercise date.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective June 29, 1994, the Company completed a financing arrangement with a
group of individual investors and with Hunt Capital Group, L.L.C. The investor
group included certain officers/directors/shareholders. The total individual
funding was a condition of funding by Hunt Capital Group, L.L.C., which also
obtained a seat on the Board of Directors. The aggregate funds raised totaled
$3.25 million and consisted of the following issued debt and equity securities:

---------- ---------- ----------
$ 2,00,000 $1,250,000 $3,250,000
========== ========== ==========
The Company borrowed $185,000 from an officer/director/shareholder and $75,000
from a director/shareholder in May 1994. These loans bore interest at 12% until
repaid on June 29, 1994. The $185,000 note was repaid with 45,679 shares of the
Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 43,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The $75,000
note was repaid with 18,518 shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant
to purchase an additional 39,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $5.00 per share. The conversion of notes to common stock was
based on the fair market value of the stock at the date of conversion. The
Company issued a note payable of $1,250,000 to the seller of ELEF, Plc, who
remained with the Company as an officer/director through October 31, 1995. The
note payable bore interest at 6% until it was repaid from proceeds of the equity
and debt funding completed June 29, 1994.
During fiscal 1995, and again in fiscal 1996, the Company relocated its
corporate offices to office buildings owned in part by an
officer/director/shareholder. The relocations were required to accommodate the
additional staff added and to consolidate operations into one location. Total
rents paid to the affiliate of the officer/director/shareholder during the nine
month period ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $36,118 and $24,000,
respectively.
4. 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.

5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On December 15, 1994, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the
authorized capital stock of the Company from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 shares
effective February 28, 1995.
In December 1994, the Company completed a private placement of common stock of
the Company. The group of individual investors includes certain
officers/directors/shareholders of the Company. The Company received $725,000 in
exchange for 199,012 common shares.
In December 1996, the Board of Directors approved the raising of equity through
the issuance of common shares to be issued at $6.00 per share. The Company has
received commitments for 500,000 common shares and the funding should be
completed during the fourth quarter.
During fiscal 1996, the Company issued 6,693 shares of Series B 8% Cumulative
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Voting Stock ("Series B Shares"), 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. During
the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company completed this Series B stock
offering, issuing 775 shares at $1,000 per share, resulting in total proceeds of
$4,498,367, net of issuance costs.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Series B Shares, the Company granted
warrants to purchase 85,860 shares and 15,500 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $7.13 per share.
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

OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Quarter Ended December 31, 1996
- -------------------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 were $3,180,237, a 10.3%
increase when compared to revenues of $2,884,012 for the quarter ended December
31, 1995. Gross profits for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 increased 29.2%
to $1,025,756 compared to $793,992 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. The
gross profit margin of 32.25% increased from 27.53% for the comparable quarter
of the prior year. The growth in revenues, gross profits and margins resulted
primarily from two events. On December 10, 1996, the Company closed on the
purchase of its largest sales agent based in Duesseldorf, Germany. Also, during
the quarter, the Company finalized the formation of DPI, a 70% owned subsidiary
to bring proprietary technology and a controlled manufacturing process to our
lenticular (dimensional printing on lens) business.
Operating expenses of $948,769 grew 29.3% compared to the prior fiscal year, an
increase of $215,194. Compensation increased $95,256 as the Company has added
staff primarily to support the Company's efforts in product marketing and
manufacturing and through staff additions resulting from acquisitions. It is
anticipated that additional staff will be added throughout the balance of the
year. Other operating expenses increased $119,938 with depreciation and
amortization increasing $68,593 primarily as a result of increased goodwill
amortization.
Net income of $88,904 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 was an increase of
$40,902 compared to net income of $48,002 for the quarter ended December 31,
1995. With the Company's healthy liquidity position, all debts, with the
exception of some maturing capital leases and newly added acquisition debt, were
paid off in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense decreased $3,894, and
interest earned increased $19,544.
The Company holds a 70% interest in its newly established subsidiary, DPI. The
income allocable to the 30% minority interest in the quarter ended December 31,
1996, resulted in a reduction in net income of $15,416. A loan to a co-member in
DPI was cancelled this quarter in exchange for a 19% membership interest.
Net income applicable to common stock reflects dividends paid on the Company's
Series B stock. Dividends were paid amounting to $102,160 and $396,591 for the
quarter and nine month period ended December 31, 1996, respectively.
The Company carries significant net operating losses for U.S. tax reporting
purposes and had no U.S. income tax liability. OpSec International and OP&P also
had no current income tax liability for the quarter, or the nine month period
ended December 31, 1996.

increase when compared to revenues of $1,942,505 for the quarter ended September
30, 1995. Gross profits for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased 42.9%
to $1,025,995 compared to $719,580 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. The
gross profit margin of 37.86% increased from 36.94% for the comparable quarter
of the prior year. The growth in revenues, gross profits and margins resulted
from (1) new customer orders for the Company's specialty enforcement products,
primarily for U.S. state motor vehicle entities, (2) continued growth in
authenticating security labels, especially for customers involved in sports
licensing and pharmaceutical manufacturing, and (3) the first significant orders
in the U.S. market for the Company's value-added point-of-purchase products,
including a significant order for a major cereal company.
Operating expenses of $873,300 grew 14.9% compared to the prior fiscal year, an
increase of $113,024. Compensation increased $53,582 as the Company has added
staff primarily to support the Company's efforts in product marketing and
manufacturing. It is anticipated that additional staff will be added throughout
the balance of the year. Other operating expenses increased $59,442, and
included increases in travel expenses of $29,931, marketing of $20,677, and
depreciation and amortization of $10,122.
Net income of $180,382 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was an increase
of $244,464 compared to a loss of $64,082 for the quarter ended September 30,
1995. With the improvement in the Company's liquidity position, all debts, with
the exception of some maturing capital leases, were paid off in the prior fiscal
year. Interest expense decreased $6,534, and interest earned increased $31,556.
The Company established a new subsidiary, Dimensional Printing Industries, LLC
("DPI"), during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The income allocable to
the 30% minority interest in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, resulted in a
reduction in net income of $6,932.
Net income applicable to common stock reflects dividends paid on the Company's
Series B stock. Dividends were paid amounting to $149,360 and $294,431 for the
quarter and six month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

Quarter Ended June 30, 1996
- ---------------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $2,326,574, an 11.56% decrease
when compared to the revenues of $2,630,564 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
Sales in OpSec International decreased 23.78% from the level of the prior year,
when some large promotional orders were billed. Sales in OpSec U.S. increased
13.12% for the quarter, including some delays in initial shipments in our
government products division which are expected to be realized in the balance of
the fiscal year.
Gross profits for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 decreased 1.5% to $822,113 as
compared to $834,584 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The gross profit
margin of 35.34% increased from the 31.73% for the comparable quarter of the
prior year. This increase in the gross profit margin reflects a change in the
mix of business, with margins and profitability improving, as higher value-added
product sales are replacing some large promotional orders that were billed this
time last year. The Company is maintaining its historic margins on its base
security business and in those sales categories protected by patents and
proprietary technology.
Operating expenses of $753,297 grew 2.45% compared to the prior fiscal year, an
increase of $19,974. Increases in facility costs, professional fees and
marketing costs were offset in part by savings in compensation related costs,
insurance and travel expenses. Operating expenses are expected to rise as the
Company continues to supplement its marketing and sales efforts, and to improve
its facilities.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 improved $87,901 to $102,896 as
compared to $14,995 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. With the improvement in
the Company's liquidity position, all debts, with the exception of some maturing
capital leases, were paid off in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense
decreased $42,795, and interest earned on cash balances improved $37,990 for the
quarter. With the completion of the offering of Series B Shares during the
quarter, the quarterly dividend on the Series B Shares of $145,071 exceeded net
income, resulting in a net loss applicable to common stock of $42,195.
