8. LITIGATION AND OTHER MATTERS
An action was brought by AlliedSignal Inc. ("Allied") in the United
States District Court for New Jersey against Vacuumschmelze GmBH, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG, and its subsidiary,
Vacuumschmelze Corporation ("Vacuumschmelze"), the supplier of the
principal electromagnetic alloy used in the Company's Ultra*Max
labels. The Allied complaint alleges that this alloy infringes a patent
owned by Allied and seeks to enjoin Vacuumschmelze from making, using
or selling infringing alloys. The complaint also seeks damages,
interest and costs. The Company has brought a separate action against
Allied asserting, among other things, the Company's rights to and
interest in the patent at issue in the Vacuumschmelze litigation and
certain related patents. The Company's action is based on its claim to
be a co-inventor of the inventions claimed in such patents. Allied
filed an answer and asserted counterclaims against the Company for,
among other things, a declaratory judgement concerning the various
patent rights at issue and damages and injunctive relief for alleged
patent infringement, which counterclaims were denied by the Company.
The Company has entered into an agreement with Vacuumschmelze to bear a
substantial part of Vacuumschmelze's costs and damages, if any, arising
from this suit.
The Company also brought an action against Allied in Germany to
establish its co-ownership of the corresponding European patent
applications. The Court in the U.S. action has granted Allied's motion
to amend its answer and counterclaims to add claims for damages and
injunctive relief for the alleged breach by the Company of a
non-disclosure agreement with Allied and for the alleged
misappropriation of certain confidential and proprietary information of
Allied, arising out of the Company's alleged disclosure to
Vacuumschmelze of certain information.
The Company is vigorously prosecuting its own claims against Allied and
defending against Allied's counterclaims. The Company has not yet
determined what impact, if any, the resolution of the foregoing matters
will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

<PAGE> 11
As noted above, Vacuumschmelze is presently the sole supplier of the
principal electromagnetic alloy used in the Company's Ultra*Max labels.
While there are potential alternatives to the supply of such material
by Vacuumschmelze, the loss or disruption of this source of supply
could result in increased costs or product shortages or otherwise
materially adversely affect the Company's business. The Company has
been pursuing development of alternative materials for use in the
Company's Ultra*Max labels and additional sources of supply.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's consolidated condensed financial statements present a
consolidation of its worldwide operations. This discussion supplements
the detailed information presented in the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements and Notes thereto (which should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained
in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K) and is intended to
assist the reader in understanding the financial results and condition
of the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED
TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
REVENUES
Revenues of $254.6 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased
12.1%, or $27.4, compared to revenues of $227.2 for the same period in
fiscal 1999. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 were
adversely affected by production and shipment delays at the Company's
Puerto Rico manufacturing operations caused by hurricane Georges,
resulting in a reduction in revenues of approximately $10.0.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2000, North America Retail revenues
increased 16.1% as compared to the same period for fiscal 1999. The
increase in revenues was attributable to increased product sales and
significantly increased service revenue resulting from large shipments
of electronic article surveillance equipment to major retail chains
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 and the first quarter of
fiscal 2000.
Europe revenues increased 6.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as
compared to the same period for fiscal 1999 reflecting a major
turnaround in the Spanish retail market and continued strong growth in
Eastern Europe retail. In addition, strong growth was reflected in C/I
revenue in both the direct and indirect channels.
International Retail revenues, which include Latin America and Asia
Pacific, increased 10.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as
compared to the same period of fiscal 1999. The increase was due
primarily to expanded market penetration across all markets; initial
installations related to a major new customer, and a general
improvement in economic conditions in Asia Pacific partially offset by
the currency devaluation in Brazil.

<PAGE> 12
North America based C/I revenues increased 14.6% for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1999. The
revenue increase was driven primarily by the Company's Access Control
Division and was due to continued market acceptance of C*Cure version
3.0 and increased customer demand resulting from Year 2000 issues.
GROSS MARGINS, OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME
Gross margins on revenues were 43.6% for the three month period ended
September 30, 1999 compared with 42.0% for the comparable period of the
prior year. The increase in margins was due primarily to reductions in
manufacturing costs and product quality improvements.
Adjusting for charges of $3.8 associated with the retirement of the
Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer and the
recruitment of his successor, operating expenses for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 declined $1.2, or 1.3% and operating expenses as a
percent of revenues decreased 4.7 percentage points, from 39.3% to
34.6%. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of the
Company's ongoing efforts to reduce overall expenses as a percent of
revenue through ongoing cost containment and rationalization efforts.
Provision for doubtful accounts, as a percentage of total revenues, was
2.4% and 2.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The percentage increase during the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 resulted from an increase in the reserve for a customer in
bankruptcy.
Research, development and engineering expenses were 2.5% of revenue in
the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 3.2% for the
same period in fiscal 1999. During fiscal 2000, the Company expects
spending for research, development and engineering to be approximately
15% higher than fiscal 1999.
Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 208.0%
to $19.1, or 7.5% of revenues, compared to $6.2, or 2.7% of revenues,
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in operating income
as a percent of revenues was a result of both increasing gross margins
and continued declines in operating expenses.
OTHER (EXPENSES) INCOME AND TAXES
Net interest and other expenses of $7.3 for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 reflected a decrease of $0.7 over the comparable period of fiscal
1999. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in interest
expense as a result of lower debt levels, as well as higher interest
income due to increases in the Company's cash levels and short-term
investments throughout fiscal 1999.
The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 is
based on an estimated effective annual consolidated tax rate of 35.0%.
The benefit for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was
based on an estimated effective annual consolidated tax benefit of
30.0%. The increased effective tax rate is due primarily to increased
profitability.
The Company reported earnings applicable to common stockholders of
$4.3, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as
compared to a loss applicable to common stockholders of $4.3, or $0.06
per share, for the same period of fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first three months of fiscal 2000, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $3.9. For the three month period ended September 30, 1999,
cash flow provided by operating activities was $19.1 compared with cash
provided by operations of $9.4 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998. The improvement in operating cash flow in the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 was primarily a result of
increased earnings, relatively flat levels of trade receivables and
reductions in inventories and sales-type lease receivables.
In both the first three months of fiscal 2000 and of fiscal 1999, the
Company used $19.8 of cash in investing activities. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company invested in new production
equipment to expand capacity and in revenue generating equipment.
For the three month period ended September 30, 1999, $3.9 of cash was
used for financing activities as compared to $11.9 of cash used for
financing activities during the three month period ended September 30,
1998. The principal use of cash in financing activities during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 was to repay approximately $3.4 of
short-term debt.
The Company's percentage of total debt to total capital was 35.7% at
September 30, 1999 as compared to 36.4% at June 30, 1999. Certain of
the Company's financial agreements currently prohibit the payment of
cash dividends, as well as the purchase of Company securities, until
certain profit levels are achieved, as reflected in the Company's
annual audited financial statements. Under these provisions, the
Company is precluded from paying cash dividends until after the
preparation of its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2000 at
the earliest. The Company intends to pay any dividends declared on the
Convertible Preferred Stock with shares of Common Stock prior to the
time it is able to pay such cash dividends. The Company issued
approximately 256,207 shares of common stock in payment of the October
1, 1999 dividends (and certain liquidated damages) on the Preferred
Stock.
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency for
financial statement purposes. The Company conducts business in numerous
countries around the world through its international subsidiaries which
use local currencies to denominate their transactions, and is,
therefore, subject to certain risks associated with fluctuating foreign
currencies. The resulting changes in the financial statements do not
indicate any underlying changes in the financial position of the
international subsidiaries but merely reflect the adjustment in the
carrying value of the net assets of these subsidiaries at the current
U.S. dollar exchange rate. Due to the long-term nature of the Company's
investment in these subsidiaries, the translation adjustments resulting
from these exchange rate fluctuations are excluded from the results of
operations and are recorded in a separate component of consolidated
stockholders' equity. The $12.0 decrease in currency translation
adjustments at September 30, 1999 compared to June 30, 1999, which is
reflected in the balance sheet caption "Accumulated other comprehensive
loss", resulted primarily from the translation of the balance sheets
denominated in British pounds, reflecting the weakening of the U.S.
dollar relative to such currency at September 30, 1999. The Company
monitors its currency exposures but does not hedge its translation
exposures due to the high economic costs of such a program and the
long-term nature of its investment in its international subsidiaries.
The Company requires significant cash flow to meet its debt service and
other continuing obligations. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had
$505.2 million of total indebtedness outstanding. The Company's
expected principal liquidity requirements are working capital,
12
<PAGE> 14
financing of customer equipment purchases, investments in revenue
equipment and capital expenditures and interest on the Senior Notes. In
addition, the Company expects to repay approximately $70.0 million of
long-term debt during March of 2000. At September 30, 1999, the
Company's principal sources of liquidity are (i) cash on hand, (ii)
cash flow from operations, (iii) borrowings under the $250.0 million
Revolving Credit Facility, of which there were none, and (iv)
receivable securitization facilities. The Company is currently
negotiating a $125.0 million replacement facility which is targeted for
completion in December of this year. The Company believes that cash
flow from operations, together with borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the
foreseeable future.
RESTRUCTURING
In accordance with restructuring plans announced prior to fiscal 1998,
the Company recorded $17.2 in restructuring charges during the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. These charges related primarily to product
rationalization and related equipment impairment charges, facility
closures and severance costs. In addition, during the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 the Company recorded additional restructuring charges of
$4.7 related to the Company's sale of its U.S. commercial/industrial
direct sales and service business to STG.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Year 2000
Many computer applications, processor chips embedded in many products
and computers and operating systems that are not Year 2000 compliant
are unable to distinguish between the calendar year 1900 and the
calendar year 2000. The Year 2000 Issue creates potential risks for the
Company, including potential problems in the Company's products as well
as in the Information Technology ("IT") and non-IT systems that the
Company uses in its business operations. The Company may also be
exposed to risks from third parties with whom the Company interacts who
fail to adequately address their Year 2000 Issues. The Company has
recognized the need to ensure that its business operations will not be
adversely affected by the upcoming calendar year 2000 and is cognizant
of the time sensitive nature of the Year 2000 problem. In 1996, the
Company began a project to implement a global enterprise resource
planning system ("ERP"). The Company has completed the implementation
of all critical ERP system sites worldwide. Upgrading and testing of
all non-critical ERP systems is scheduled for completion by November
30, 1999.
The Company's State of Readiness
The Company centralized its focus on addressing the Year 2000 Issue by
establishing a Year 2000 Program Management Office in order to
implement a consistent approach to minimizing Year 2000 risks across
the Company worldwide. The Company also assigned Project Teams in each
Business Unit. The Program Management Office and the Project Teams are
13
<PAGE> 15
assisted by specialists and consultants. The inventory and assessment
has been completed. The Company's remaining key dates relative to its
program focusing on IT and non-IT systems that the Company uses in its
business operations are as follows:
All critical components in testing November 15,1999
Critical components Year 2000 compliant November 30, 1999
The Company has substantially completed testing of its manufactured
products. To aid in communication with the Company's customers and
suppliers, the Company has developed an Internet Web site that
identifies the current Year 2000 status for each of the Company's
products. In addition, the Company is proactively contacting dealers
and customers to enhance their awareness of Sensormatic product issues
and apprising them of any appropriate action that needs to be taken.
A survey of the Company's suppliers and service providers was conducted
to insure they are working on this effort and will remain viable
suppliers through and after January 1, 2000. The evaluation of the
results is nearing completion and the Company will begin developing
contingency plans in response to the survey results.
The Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issues
The cost of implementing the enterprise resource planning system is
estimated at $40.0 million. In addition to the enterprise resource
planning system, the Company currently estimates approximately $1.0
million for the cost associated with the Company's Year 2000 project.
Remediation efforts are not currently expected to be significant.
The Risks of the Company's Year 2000 Issues
The Company presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not cause
material operational problems for the Company. However, if the Company
is not successful in identifying all material Year 2000 problems, or
its assessment and remediation of identified Year 2000 problems is not
completed in a timely manner, there may be an interruption in, or
failure of, certain normal business activities or operations. This risk
includes unforeseen delays in the implementation of the Company's
enterprise resource planning system. Such interruptions, failures or
delays in implementing the enterprise resource planning system could
have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated results of
operations and financial condition, or on its relationships with
customers, suppliers or others.
The Company's Contingency Plans
The Company expects to have developed by November 15, 1999, or shortly
thereafter, a comprehensive contingency plan to address situations that
may result if the Company or any of the third parties upon which the
Company is dependent is unable to achieve Year 2000 readiness. The
Company's Year 2000 compliance program is ongoing and its ultimate
scope, as well as the consideration of contingency plans, will continue
to be evaluated as new information becomes available. To track Year
2000 issues that arise during the transition period and to provide
additional focus when needed, the Company is establishing a worldwide
Year 2000 Command Center. This center will be staffed from December
20, 1999 until it is no longer needed, which is estimated to be
approximately January 15, 2000.

Year 2000 Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing Year 2000 discussion contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such statements, including without limitation,
anticipated costs and the dates by which the Company expects to
complete certain actions, are based on management's best current
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions about
future events, including the continued availability of certain
resources, representations received from third parties and other
factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will
be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the ability to identify
and remediate all relevant IT and non-IT systems, results of Year 2000
testing, adequate resolution of Year 2000 Issues by businesses and
other third parties who are service providers, suppliers or customers
of the Company, unanticipated system costs, the adequacy of and ability
to develop and implement contingency plans and similar uncertainties.
The "forward-looking statements" made in the foregoing Year 2000
discussion speak only as of the date on which such statements are made,
and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which
such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.

forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise. The following

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On May 14, 1999, the Company commenced an action against James E.
Winner, Jr. ("Winner"), Winner & Bagnara, P.C. ("W & B"), and First
National Bank of Pennsylvania, in the United States District Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Action") with
respect to the franchise originally granted to Winner for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Franchise"), which has
been operated by the Company for the past 20 years pursuant to a lease
agreement. The Company seeks, among other things, a declaratory
judgment that the Company is entitled to exercise its option under that
lease agreement to purchase all right, title and interest in the
Pennsylvania Franchise from the defendants. Winner and W & B interposed
a joint answer in the Pennsylvania Action asserting, among other
things, that the Court could not properly exercise jurisdiction over
the matter because Winner is a Florida resident. In light of this
defense, the Company commenced a second action against the defendants
in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach
County, Florida (the "Florida Action"), essentially repeating the
allegations and claims for relief of the Pennsylvania Action. In their
joint answer to the Company's complaint in the Florida Action, Winner
and W & B denied the Company's claims and asserted counterclaims
seeking, among other things, a declaration that the Company failed to
properly exercise its option and the Company's rights to operate the
Pennsylvania Franchise ceased on December 1, 1998. The Company has
moved to dismiss that counterclaim and is vigorously pursuing its
rights to the Pennsylvania Franchise.
In connection with the Company's action against AlliedSignal Inc.
("Allied") in the United States District Court for New Jersey, referred
to in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1999 (the "Form 10-K"), the Court has granted Allied's
motion to amend its answer and counterclaims to add claims for damages
and injunctive relief for the alleged breach by the Company of a
non-disclosure agreement with Allied and for the alleged
misappropriation of certain confidential and proprietary information of
Allied, arising out of the Company's alleged disclosure of certain
information to its supplier, Vacuumschmelze GmBH. The Company is
continuing to vigorously prosecute its own claims against Allied and
defend against Allied's counterclaims.
Reference is made to Item 3. Legal Proceedings of the Form 10-K for
additional information relating to the actions between the Company and
Allied.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock, the Company issued
approximately 256,207 shares of common stock in payment of the
dividends payable, and certain liquidated damages under the
registration agreement, on October 1, 1999. (Registration of these
shares is not required because no additional consideration was paid
therefor.)
Item 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K
a) Exhibits
27) Financial Data Schedule (for SEC use only)
b) Reports on Form 8-K:
On August 26, 1999, the Company filed a current report on Form 8-K with
