2.) Short-Term Notes Payable:
    In February, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with The CIT
    Group/Finance, Inc. ("CIT") under a revolving loan and security agreement
    (the "agreement"). The agreement, as amended on January 30, 1997, provides
    for a discretionary line of credit of up to 85% of eligible accounts
    receivable, as defined in the agreement, but in no event in excess of $10
    million. At June 30, 1998, the Company had used $7,892,470 of this line,
    representing virtually 100% of its maximum borrowing capacity. Interest is
    payable monthly, at 1.5% above prime (10% at June 30, 1998). The line is
    collateralized by customer accounts receivable and substantially all other
    assets of the Company. The term of the agreement is initially until 
    February, 1999, with automatic two year renewal terms thereafter. The 
    Company relies heavily on its revolving loan from CIT which contains
    numerous non-financial covenants. At June 30, 1998, the Company was not 
    in compliance with several of the non-financial covenants.


3.) Income/(Loss) per Share:
    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
    Statement No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share," which is required
    to be adopted for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Under the
    new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the
    dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, if any, is excluded. The
    implementation of SFAS 128 had no impact on the calculation of the
    Company's earnings or loss per share. Warrants and stock options
    outstanding and preferred stock conversions were excluded from the
    computation for each period presented because their effect was
    antidilutive.


4.) Self-Insurance
    The Company adopted a partially self-insured health insurance program
    that covers all eligible administrative personnel, effective as of
    March 1, 1997. There is a maximum of $30,000 per year per employee
    and an aggregate amount per year, based on the number of participants
    (currently 103 employees, or $348,200), that the Company can be
    responsible for. A stop-loss insurance policy covers all claims in
    excess of the above amounts.

    The Company has an insurance policy to cover workers compensation
    claims in most states that the Company performs services. Annual
    premiums are based on incurred losses as determined at the end of the
    coverage period, subject to a minimum and maximum premium. Insurance
    providers assist the Company in determining its estimated liability
    for these claims.

    The nature of the Company's business also subjects it to claims or
    litigation alleging that it is liable for damages as a result of the
    conduct of its employees or others. The Company insures against such
    claims and suits through policies with third-party insurance
    companies. Such policies have limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and
    $10,000,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the Company has obtained
    an excess liability policy that covers claims for an additional
    $30,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company retains the risk for the
    first $50,000 per occurrence.

    Cumulative amounts estimated to be payable by the Company with
    respect to pending and potential claims for all years in which the
    company is liable under its self-insurance retention and retro
    workers compensation policies have been accrued as liabilities. Such
    accrued liabilities are necessarily based on estimates; thus, the
    company's ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts
    accrued. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the
    resultant accrued liability are reviewed continually and any
    adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current earnings.





                                                                 8

5.) Contingent Liabilities:
    The Company has guaranteed certain installment loans extended to various
    service companies by Capital Resources Company. The total outstanding 
    balance on such loans as of June 30, 1998, was approximately $591,000.

    In May, 1996, a complaint was filed in Queens County Civil Court by
    three former employees alleging emotional distress, anguish, mental
    distress and injury to their professional reputation due to
    retaliatory discharge and related matters. Plaintiffs each seek $2
    million for compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages in
    addition to payment of overtime wages of $25,000. The Company's
    customer, also a defendant and a former employer, has engaged counsel
    representing all defendants. At this time the Company is unable to
    estimate the possible loss, if any, that may be incurred as a result
    of this action. The ultimate outcome may or may not have a material
    impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    In August, 1997, a complaint was filed in Los Angeles County Superior
    Court by six former employees alleging discrimination, wrongful
    termination, breach of employment contract and intentional infliction
    of emotional distress. The complaint alleges that plaintiffs have
    suffered damages in excess of $1 million. After filing the complaint,
    the plaintiffs, through counsel, agreed to submit the dispute to
    binding arbitration and a request for dismissal, without prejudice,
    was filed with the Court. At this time the Company is unable to
    estimate the possible loss, if any, that may be incurred as a result
    of such arbitration. The ultimate outcome of such arbitration may or
    may not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
    results of operations.

    The Company has been named as a defendant in several other employment
    related claims, including claims of sexual harassment by current and
    former employees, which are currently under investigation by the New
    York State Division of Human Rights. At this time the Company is
    unable to determine the impact on the financial position and results
    of operations that these claims may have should the investigation
    conclude that they are valid.

    The Company has been charged with unfair labor practices by the
    Service Employees International Union 32B- J, claiming the Company
    refused to bargain with the Union and that the Company unilaterally
    changed terms and conditions of employment without bargaining. The
    charge seeks back dues, wages and health and welfare contributions for
    all employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement between
    32B-J and the Company. The matter is being held in suspension pending
    a decision on a similar case before the National Labor Relations
    Board. At this time the Company is unable to estimate the impact on
    the financial position and results of operations as a result of a
    decision on such case. The ultimate outcome may or may not have a
    material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
    operations.

    The Private Placement Memorandum issued in connection with the
    Company's 1993 Private Placement and the interim financial reports for
    the first three quarters in the fiscal years ended March 31, 1994 and
    1995, filed by the Company contained financial information which has
    since been restated. A legal action has been filed against the Company
    and is described in greater detail below. It includes claims based on
    the restatements. It is possible that other purchasers of Units
    pursuant to the 1993 offering and the purchasers of shares in
    connection with the offerings that were consummated in February, 1995,
    may make further claims against the Company, alleging, as the basis,
    among other possible claims the above-mentioned restatements.





                                                                 9

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)




5.) Contingent Liabilities: (Continued)
    On or about December 4, 1997, an outside shareholder and four of the
    Company's directors (Sands, P. Kikis, Saunders and T. Kikis) commenced
    an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
    York (Index No. 606166/97) against the other four directors (Vassell,
    Robinett, Nekos and Miller), the Company's outside corporate and
    securities counsel and the Company itself in a lawsuit characterized
    as a derivative action. The complaint alleges that one or more of the
    defendant-directors engaged in improper activities, including
    ultra-vires acts, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud against the Company,
    constructive fraud, waste of corporate assets and concealment of
    information from the plaintiff-directors regarding the Company's
    earnings, lacked power to enter into an employment agreement on behalf
    of the Company with Mr. Robinett, and entered into service contracts
    with financially unstable companies without performing due diligence.
    The complaint further alleges that the Company has failed to appoint a
    replacement to the office of president and that the directors have
    entered into a shareholder agreement which is violative of public
    policy. Plaintiffs seek the award of money damages in an amount which
    is "not less than" $11 million from the individual defendants, a
    declaratory judgment that the shareholder agreement is void, an order
    for an accounting, certain other injunctive relief and attorneys' fees
    and disbursements.

    The Company has interposed an answer denying the allegations contained
    in the complaint. The individual defendants have stated that they
    believe the allegations are completely without merit and intend to
    vigorously defend against each and every claim. The Company's
    Certificate of Incorporation and the Business Corporation Law of New
    York provide for indemnification of officers and directors with
    respect to damages and legal fees incurred in connection with lawsuits
    against them arising by reason of serving the Company. Due to the fact
    that certain members of the board have chosen to participate as
    plaintiffs in this lawsuit, the Company may not have coverage under
    its officers and directors liability insurance policy. The defendant-
    directors intend to seek indemnification, and have received
    advancements of legal fees incurred in connection with their defense,
    from the Company. Through June 30, 1998, the Company has expended
    approximately $193,000 in legal fees ($73,000 during the quarter ended
    June 30, 1998) in defense of this matter on its own behalf as well as
    on behalf of the defendant officers and directors. On or about March
    25, 1998, the plaintiffs filed a motion for the appointment of a
    temporary receiver. On June 5, 1998, the Court ordered the appointment
    of a temporary receiver, but prior to the order taking effect, the
    parties agreed to a stipulation pursuant to which Franklyn H. Snitow,
    Esq., was appointed acting President and Chief Executive Officer and
    acting ninth Board member during the pendency of the defendants'
    appeal to the Appellate Division of the decision to appoint a
    receiver. Based on the stipulation, the defendants' request to the
    Appellate Division for a stay pending the appeal of the order
    appointing the receiver was granted. The Company is unable to
    reasonably estimate the potential impact on the Company's financial
    condition and results of operations from this lawsuit.





                                                                10

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


Results of Operations

The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and the related notes thereto.

Revenue increased by $2,562,859 or 21.7 percent for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 to $14,351,339 from $11,788,480 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
The major components of this increase are approximately $820,000 due to
acquisitions and approximately $1,740,000 due to new contract starts net of
contract cancellations.

Gross profit increased by $758,448 to $2,388,686 or 16.6% of revenue for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,630,238 or 13.8% of revenue for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This results from cost reductions of
approximately $400,000, the major components of which are: $157,000 reduction
in unemployment taxes; $78,000 in auto expenses; and $166,000 in self
insurance reserves for general liability claims. The remaining increase of
approximately $360,000 is attributable to the 21.7 percent increase in sales
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 over the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The
self insurance reserve is based on actuarial computations and the timing of
reported claims and, therefore, at this time, it is not known if the decrease
will continue in future periods.

The Company provides payroll and billing services and accounts receivable
financing through contracts with service company clients for a percentage of
the revenue or gross profit generated from their business. The Company owns
the accounts receivable and, depending on the individual contract, may be the
employer of record. The caption "Service Contract Revenue" represents the
income earned on the Service Agreements.

Service contract revenue decreased by $132,050 to $295,743 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 from $427,793 in the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This
decrease is primarily due to the termination of one service agreement with a
client who filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on August 28, 1997 as well as the
terminations of three other service contracts. Currently 63% of service fee
revenue is generated from one contract which is currently being renegotiated
and is expected to result in less revenue as the result thereof. Although
there are prospective clients, the Company did not sign new service
agreements in the current quarter. If no new contracts are signed, service
contract revenue will decrease as current contracts expire.

General and administrative expenses increased by $137,549 to $1,954,714 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $1,817,165 for the quarter ended June
30, 1997. The major areas of increase are professional fees ($123,000),
office and administrative salaries ($90,000) and sales commissions ($39,000).
These increases were offset by reductions in several general office expenses
(including telephone, Express Mail, bank costs and travel and entertainment)
of approximately $114,000.

Amortization of intangibles decreased by $89,553 to $323,456 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $413,009 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
This is primarily due to the write-down in the fiscal year ended, March 31,
1998 of intangible assets which was the result of management's re-evaluation
of the business retained from certain prior acquisitions.

The provision for bad debts decreased by $64,014 to $95,105 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 from $159,119 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This
decrease is primarily due to higher reserve requirements in the quarter ended
June 30, 1997 for receivables from certain service agreement clients that is
no longer necessary. The provision for bad debts is management's estimate of
accounts that may be uncollectible based on the results of its continuous
monitoring of accounts outstanding in excess of 60 days. It is not known if
bad debts will decrease in future periods nor is this decrease necessarily
indicative of a trend.





                                                                11

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


Interest income decreased by $77,769 to $27,051 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 from $104,820 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This decrease
partially resulted from the collection of certain advances with accumulated
interest from one of the Company's employer of record service agreement
clients in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and the remainder of the decrease
results from the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of a former service agreement client.

Interest expense decreased by $21,620 to $251,800 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 from $273,420 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 due primarily to
reductions in long-term debt.

Management fee income was recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 1997
for financial consulting services provided to a service agreement client.
Such services are not expected to recur in future periods.

Loss on equipment dispositions primarily represents older vehicles sold or
retired.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company pays its guard employees and those of its Service Agreement
Clients on a weekly basis, while its customers and the customers of service
company clients pay for the services of such employees generally within 60
days after billing by the Company. In order to provide funds for payment to
its guard employees, on February 24, 1995, the Company entered into a
commercial revolving loan arrangement with CIT Group/Credit Finance (CIT).

This agreement was amended as of January 30, 1997 to provide for an initial
two year renewal to February 23, 1999 and automatic two year renewal terms
thereafter as well as other changes in terms and conditions. Under this
agreement, borrowings may be made in an amount up to 85% (previously 82.5%)
of eligible accounts receivable, but in no event more than $10,000,000. The
amendment also provides for a term loan in the amount of $500,000 to be
repaid in equal monthly installments over five years. Outstanding balances
under the revolving loan and the term loan bear interest at a per annum rate
of 1 and 1/2% (previously 2% on the revolving loan) in excess of the "prime
rate" and are collateralized by a pledge of the Company's accounts receivable
and other assets. As of June 30, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with
several of the non-financial covenants contained in the loan agreement as a
result of the shareholder derivative action described in Note 5 to the
condensed financial statements. Accordingly, all amounts due under the term
loan have been classified as short-term on the Company's balance sheet as of
June 30, 1998. The Company has been unable to obtain waivers from CIT.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had borrowed $7,892,470 representing virtually
100% of its maximum borrowing capacity based on the definition of "eligible
accounts receivable" under the terms of the revolving loan agreement.

Generally, the Company borrows a high percentage of its available borrowing,
which can fluctuate materially from day to day due to changes in the status
of the factors used to determine availability (such as billing, payments and
aging of accounts receivable).

Due primarily to the bankruptcy filing of GFM Bayview, a former service
agreement client, and increased expenditures due to the start-up of a large
contract, the Company has experienced continued cash overdrafts and a working
capital deficit. This had impacted accounts payable and management is
carefully monitoring its relationships with vendors. The cash overdraft has
increased by $365,000 since March 31, 1998 primarily as a result of settling
several general liability and labor claims, however, management expects to
decrease the overdraft with a significant cash receipt expected in August,
1998 in connection with its workers compensation insurance policy. This
receipt, however, will not have any impact on the Company's profit or loss.





                                                                12

                                                                   (Continued)

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


The independent accountant's report on the Company's financial statements for
the year ended March 31, 1998 was modified, indicating that there was
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
due to operating losses for the year ended March 31, 1998, working capital
deficits and litigation and a contingency for which the outcomes were
uncertain. The Company's operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
resulted in an operating profit and the working capital deficit has improved
by $72,869 to ($1,050,000) as of June 30, 1998 from ($1,122,869) as of March
31, 1998. Management is continuing its efforts to improve profit margins and
to reduce cash and working capital deficits with improved earnings and
reductions in long-term debt service requirements.

In February, 1995 the Company entered into a subordinated loan arrangement
with Deltec Development Corporation (Deltec) pursuant to which the Company
borrowed $1.5 million, the proceeds of which were used primarily to acquire
the assets of United Security Group Inc. (United). The subordinated loan has
a term of four years, calls for quarterly principal and interest payments and
bears interest at fourteen percent (14%) per annum. It is collateralized, on
a subordinated basis to CIT, by all the Company's assets, properties and
other revenue. The balance due Deltec at June 30, 1998 was $281,250. The
Company was not in compliance with several loan covenants at June 30, 1998
(see above disclosure regarding CIT).

The Company finances vehicle purchases typically over three years and
insurance through short-term borrowings. The Company has no additional lines
of credit other than discussed herein and has no present material commitments
for capital expenditures.


Cautionary Statement

As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
the Company wishes to caution shareholders and investors that the following
important factors, among others, 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 in this
report.

1.     The Company's assumptions regarding projected results depend largely
       upon the Company's ability to retain substantially all of the
       Company's current clients. Retention is affected by several factors
       including but not limited to the quality of the services provided by
       the Company, the quality and pricing of comparable services offered by
       competitors, and the actual and perceived continuity and stability of 
       management and non-management personnel as well as the Company itself.
       There are several major national competitors with resources far 
       greater than those of the Company which therefore have the ability
       to provide service, cost and compensation incentives to clients and
       employees which could result in the loss of such clients and/or
       employees.

2.     The Company's ability to realize its projections will be largely
       dependent upon its ability to maintain margins, which in turn will be
       determined in large part by management's control over costs. To a
       significant extent, certain costs are not within the control of
       management and margins may be adversely affected by such items as
       significant inflation, labor unrest and increased payroll and related
       costs.

3.     Although management currently has no reasonable basis of information
       upon which to conclude that any significant service company client or
       security guard client will default in payment for the services
       rendered by the Company, any such default by a significant client
       would have a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity,
       results of operations and financial condition.

Additional detailed information concerning a number of factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the information contained
herein is readily available in the Company's most recent reports on Forms
10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and its current registration statement on Form S-3 and any
amendments thereto (all as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
from time to time).
