Notes to Interim Financial Statements
Note 1 Financial Statements
The consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows
for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
and the balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 have been prepared by Holmes
Protection Group, Inc. ("Holmes" or "the Company") without audit.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These
consolidated results should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
expected for the full year. Interim statements are prepared on a basis
consistent with year-end statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial
statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of the operations of the Company. All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for the
$1,500,000 pretax charge relating to the outsourcing agreement
termination (See Note 2).
Note 2 Outsourcing Agreement Termination
On March 12, 1997, the Company announced that it had reached an
agreement in principle (the "Agreement") with PremiTech to terminate
its outsourcing agreement effective April 1, 1997. Changes in the
Company's growth strategy and the sale by PremiTech of its alarm
monitoring business in late 1995 led both parties to re-evaluate the
outsourcing agreement. On April 1, 1997, pursuant to the Agreement, the
Company paid $650,000 in cash and executed a noninterest bearing
promissory note ("Note") in the amount of $1,000,000 payable to EDS in
twenty quarterly installments of $50,000, beginning January 1, 1998.
The Note is secured by an irrevocable letter of credit for $1,000,000.
In addition, the Company agreed to lease certain computer equipment for
a three year term with an option to purchase the equipment at the end
of the lease for the fair market value. The Company has recorded a
pretax charge of $1,500,000 in connection with the Agreement.
Note 3 Acquisitions
In the first half of 1997, the Company acquired alarm companies for an
aggregate purchase price of $6,365,000. In addition, the Company
acquired three alarm companies in exchange for 91,775 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. These acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was
allocated based on their estimated values and the results of operations
of the acquired entities have been included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of the
acquisition. The allocation of estimated values is subject to final
adjustments of purchase price. The results of operations for these
acquisitions were not significant to the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and therefore no pro forma financial data has
been included.

<PAGE>
Note 4 Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. This statement establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share (EPS), replacing the presentation of
currently required primary EPS with a presentation of Basic EPS. For
entities with complex capital structures, the statement requires the
dual presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the
statement of operations. Under this new standard, Basic EPS is computed
based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential
dilution; Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution from the exercise or
conversion of securities into common stock or from other contracts to
issue common stock and is similar to the currently required fully
diluted EPS. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and
earlier application is not permitted. When adopted, the Company will be
required to restate its EPS data for all prior periods presented. The
Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of this statement to
be material to previously reported EPS amounts.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
Revenues increased $4.5 million (36.7%) to $16.7 million in the second
quarter of 1997 from $12.2 million in the second quarter of 1996. This increase
was primarily attributable to an increase in installation revenue of $3.2
million (140.4%) from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 1996 to $5.4 million
in the second quarter of 1997.
Cost of sales increased $3.1 million (48.0%) to $9.4 million in the second
quarter of 1997 from $6.4 million for the comparable period of 1996, due
primarily to increased installation costs related to the growth in related
revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million
(56.0%) to $5.7 million from $3.6 million for the same period of 1996. This
increase is primarily related to costs associated with increased sales,
marketing and administrative support as the Company implements its nation-wide
growth strategy including its National Accounts operation. Depreciation and
amortization expense remained constant at $2.8 million in both the second
quarter of 1997 and the second quarter of 1996.
Loss from operations was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 1997 compared to
a loss of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of
the investment the Company has made in selling and marketing costs partially
offset by increased revenues and related cost of sales.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
Revenues increased $5.8 million (23.8%) in the six months ended June 30, 1997 to
$30.3 million from $24.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in installation revenue of
$4.0 million (88.8%). Increased revenues from the One Service business and
growth in the Company's recurring revenue base also contributed to the increase.
The Company's annual recurring revenue base increased from $35.0 million at
December 31, 1996 to $37.2 million at June 30, 1997, principally as a result of
recurring revenues acquired during the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first half
of 1997. The recurring revenue base at June 30, 1996 was $34.3 million.
Cost of sales increased 34.1% from $12.8 million in the six months ended June
30, 1996 to $17.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase
was primarily the result of increased installation costs related to the growth
in related revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $6.8 million for the
same period of 1996. This increase is primarily related to costs associated with
increased sales, marketing and administrative support as the Company implements
its nation-wide growth strategy including its National Accounts operation.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.5 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to $5.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Additionally, in the first quarter of 1997, the Company incurred a non-recurring
charge of $1.5 million related to the termination of its Outsourcing Agreement
with PremiTech (See Note 2).

<PAGE>
Loss from operations reflected a loss of $4.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to a loss of $0.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996, primarily as a result of the investment the Company has made in
selling and marketing costs and the non-recurring charge, as described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Six months Ended June 30, 1997
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.4 million from $1.0 million to $1.4
million during the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $14.3 million, offset by cash utilized by operating
activities of $3.0 million and net cash utilized by investing activities of
$10.9 million.
Net cash utilized by operating activities of $3.0 million principally consisted
of cash provided by sales of electronic security services, adjusted for non-cash
charges for depreciation and amortization, an increase in accounts receivable
($2.7 million), a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($0.4
million), an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets ($1.3
million), and an increase in deferred revenue ($0.3 million).
Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of acquisition costs
and the additions to Company-owned equipment on subscribers' premises and other
fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $14.3 million during this period
consisted of bank borrowings of $13.8 million and proceeds from the exercise of
stock options of $0.8 million, offset by repayments of other long term debt
obligations of $0.3 million.
Future Commitments and Cash Requirements
Liquid assets available to the Company as of June 30, 1997 included cash and
cash equivalents of $1.4 million.
On August 30, 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement"), amended and restated as of December 31, 1996 and subsequently
amended as of January 1, 1997, with Merita Bank Ltd. and Bank of Boston
Connecticut (together, the "Banks") pursuant to which the Banks have agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide a two-year $25
million revolving credit facility to the Company, the borrowings pursuant to
which would automatically convert into a five-year term loan on September 30,
1998. The Company's ability to obtain future borrowings under this credit
facility is contingent upon its compliance with various financial covenants,
tests and ratios, including those relating to (i) ratios of total debt to
EBITDA, (ii) ratios of total debt to recurring monthly revenue, (iii) minimum
debt service coverage, (iv) minimum net worth, (v) maximum capital expenditures
and (vi) maximum subscriber attrition rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
On June 30, 1997, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $18.3
million, including an outstanding irrevocable letter of credit of $1.0 million
(See Note 2).

<PAGE>
On April 4, 1995, the Company entered into a ten-year, $51 million outsourcing
agreement with PremiTech Corporation ("Premitech"), a subsidiary of Electronic
Data Systems Corporation ("EDS"), which provided for PremiTech to assist in the
consolidation of the Company's central monitoring facilities, to manage the
Company's technological infrastructure and to perform certain of the Company's
administrative functions. On March 12, 1997, the Company reached an agreement in
principle (the "Agreement") with Premitech to terminate its outsourcing
agreement effective April 1, 1997. As a result, on April 1 1997, the Company
paid $650,000 in cash and executed a noninterest bearing promissory note
("Note") in the amount of $1,000,000 payable to EDS in twenty quarterly
installments of $50,000, beginning January 1, 1998. The Note is secured by an
irrevocable letter of credit for $1,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed to
lease certain computer equipment for a three year term with an option to
purchase the equipment at the end of the lease for the fair market value.
The Company believes that net cash provided by operations, together with funds
available under the Credit Facility, will enable it to meet its future cash
operating needs.
