The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheets, statement of operations, and statement of cash flows, as of the dates and for the periods presented. The Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company's 2001 Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB filed on April 1, 2002 should be read in conjunction with these financial statements. The financial statements include operations of Photo Scan Systems, Inc. a California corporation (now known as Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc.) ("Photo Scan")) from April 1, 2002, National Safe of California, Inc. from July 1, 2002 and Corporate Security Integration, L.L.C. (now known as Henry Bros. Electronics, L.L.C., an Arizona Limited Liability Company ("CSI")) from August 1, 2002. Acquisitions As previously reported, on May 17, 2002, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Photo Scan from Secure Alarm Systems Inc. ("Secure Alarm"). Photo Scan, which is located in California, specializes in security systems for medical facilities and provides sales, system design, installation, service and maintenance of integrated security systems which include access control, closed circuit television, intercom, audio alarm and property intrusion detection. The purchase price for the issued and outstanding, shares of Photo Scan was $600,000 of which $200,000 was paid in cash and balance was paid by issuing 51,249 shares of our restricted common stock. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we also paid off a $200,000 note made by Photo Scan in favor of Secure Alarm. The purchase agreement provides that in the event that one year from May 17, 2002 (the "Reference Date"), the average closing sale price of our common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the Reference Date (the "Current Market Price") is less than $7.81 per share, we will pay Secure Alarm an amount equal to the difference between $400,000 and the 51,249 shares multiplied by the Current Market Price. Effective as of August 13, 2002 (the "Closing") and as previously reported on form 8-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2002, Photo Scan, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of National Safe of California, Inc. ("National Safe"). National Safe supplies and services alarm security equipment, backup high security systems, lock and locking mechanisms, timing mechanisms, vault security, control systems and high resolution surveillance equipment. The purchase price of the acquisition was $2,000,000, which was paid by issuing an aggregate of 283,566 shares of our unregistered and restricted common stock (the "Shares"). As part of this transaction, Photo Scan made a $500,000 non-recourse loan, to Lee A. Kann, the seller of National Safe's outstanding stock, due August 12, 2003. As collateral for the payment of the promissory note, Mr. Kann assigned, pledged, transferred and granted a security interest in 70,000 of the Shares to us. The Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the stock of National Safe was acquired, provides that in the event that one year from the Closing (the "Reference Date"), the average closing sale price of our common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the Reference Date is less than $7.053 per share (the "Current Market Price"), we have to within 10 days of the Reference Date, either purchase 212,675 of the Shares for $1,500,000 (subject to certain adjustments detailed in the Stock Purchase Agreement) or pay Mr. Kann an amount equal to the difference between (i) $1,500,000 and (ii) 212,675 (subject to certain adjustments detailed in the Stock Purchase Agreement) multiplied by the Current Market Price. The following table provides pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, as if National Safe had been acquired at January 1, 2001. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of National Safe. Accordingly, such amounts are not indicative necessarily of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on the date indicated or to us that may result in the future. 7 PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED RESULTS (UNAUDITED) NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 Historic ---------------------------- Diversified National Adjustments Pro Forma ----------- -------- ----------- --------- Sales $12,400,045 $2,018,595 $14,418,640 Net Income (Loss) $117,660 $(65,426) $(27,550) (1,2) $24,684 Earnings (Loss) per share Basic $0.05 $0.00 Diluted $0.05 $0.00 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 Historic ---------------------------- Diversified National Adjustments Pro Forma ----------- -------- ----------- --------- Sales $8,350,863 $2,148,323 $10,499,186 Net Income (Loss) $172,792 $ (134,659) $(27,550) (1,2) $10,583 Earnings (Loss) per share Basic $0.06 $0.00 Diluted $0.06 $0.00 (1) To amortize other intangibles (covenant not to compete for 5 years and service rights and customers list for 15 years) on a straight line basis.

CSI is located in Phoenix, Arizona and specializes in access controls and closed circuit television monitoring. The purchase price for CSI was $815,000 of which $270,000 was paid in cash and $545,000 was paid by issuing 78,542 shares of our common stock. Intangible assets acquired (covenant not to compete for 5 years and service rights and customers list for 15 years) are amortized on a straight line basis. Forward-Looking Statements This quarterly report contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, our ability to utilize the acquisitions we have made, possible significant variations in recognized revenue due to customer-caused delays in installation, cancellation of our contracts by our customers and intense competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our sales will increase or that our acquisitions will positively contribute to earnings. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advice readers that the factors listed above, among other factors, could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically declines any obligations, to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (a) Overview We are a single source/turn-key provider of technology-based integrated security solutions for commercial enterprises and governmental agencies. Our three operating divisions are technical services, integration and manufacturing. We provide services, which include: o consulting and planning; o engineering and design; o systems integration; o maintenance and technical support and o threat assessment. As a security integrator, we design, customize, install, connect and maintain Closed Circuit TV and access control systems for customers in the private and public sectors through our wholly-owned subsidiary Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. As part of an access control system, we may install, maintain and monitor intrusion alarms and sometimes monitor building system alarm for building maintenance systems and fire alarm systems; risk identification and assessment; business resumption planning; chemical, biological response plans and procedures; and development of emergency plans and procedures; equipment identification and purchase. Our Technical Services division advises clients on their overall security needs, including: o risk identification and assessment; o business resumption planning; o chemical and biological response plans and procedures; o development of emergency plans and procedures; and o equipment identification and purchase. We also manufacture, develop and assemble various security-related products, which we use in our own installations and for sales to other integrators under the trade name Viscom Products. (b) Results of Operations Comparison of three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. Sales. Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 totaled $5,580,002 representing an increase of 160.6 % or $3,438,544 from $2,141,458 reported for the same quarter a year ago. We attribute $2,158,950 of this increase to internal growth and $1,279,547 to the acquisitions of Photo Scan, National Safe and CSI. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $12,974,018 representing an increase of 55.4 % or $4,623,155 compared to $8,350,863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We attribute $3,143,862 of this increase to internal growth and $1,479,293 from the aforementioned acquisitions. Sales for the nine months ended September 30,2002, have already exceeded our sales for all of 2001 by $1,045,405 or 8.8%. 9 Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 decreased as a percentage of sales by 5% compared to cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, cost of goods sold increased by $1,817,280 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased as a percentage of sales by approximately 4%. The Company attributes this increase to the cost of operating improvements that have not been fully realized. Cost of goods sold for nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $2,262,620 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We attribute the increase in cost of goods sold in the three and nine months of 2002 compared to the comparable three and nine months of 2001 primarily to an increase in sales. Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were 38.1% of sales. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, operating expenses increased $1,366,091 or 2.7% of sales compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were 39.3% of sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, operating expenses increased by $2,323,926 or 6.1% of sales compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We attribute the increase in operating expenses to the hiring of additional employees, primarily in sales and in our Technical Services division, the training and other costs associated with these new employees and to acquisition costs. We expect that these additional employees and our acquisitions will enable us to continue to increase our sales and earnings. Operating Income. Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 totaled $326,839 or 5.9% of sales. This was an increase of approximately $255,173 or 2.6% of sales compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Of this increase, approximately $77,572 was the result of sales derived from our recent acquisitions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 operating income was $480,043 or 3.7% of sales. This was an increase of $36,609 or 1.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in operating income is attributable to an increase in revenue and the more efficient use of our resources. Interest Expense - net. Interest Expenses net of interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $49,444 compared to $60,910 for the comparable period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 interest expense net of interest income decreased to $51,319 compared to $154,113 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in interest expense was due to not borrowing additional funds, lower interest rates and $61,710 in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to interest income of $23,243 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Interest income was generated by short-term investment of the balance of the proceeds of our initial public offering. Net Income. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 totaled $160,395 or 2.8% of sales. This was an increase of $146,367 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net income was $246,724 or 1.9% of sales. Net income increased by $73,931 or 42.8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Basic earnings per share was $0.03 on 4,872,464 basic weight average common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $.00 per share on 3,000,000 basic weight average common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2002. 10 Basic earnings per share was $0.05 on 4,872,464 basic weighted average common share outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $0.06 per share on 3,000,000 basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in basic earnings per share is attributed to the issuance of additional shares in connection with the acquisitions of Photo Scan, National Safe and CSI. (c) Liquidity and Capital Resources In 2001, we completed our initial public offerings of 1,725,000 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $9,983,264 (including proceeds received from the sale of 275,000 shares of our common stock upon exercise of the underwriter's over allotment option). Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,823,995 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $1,704,512 during the same period a year ago. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $1,036,808 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $260,641 for the same period a year ago. Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities. Net cash used in by financing activities amounted to $839,805 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $1,719,900 provided by financing activities for the same period a year ago. Our capital requirements have grown substantially since our inception due to the growth of our operations caused by increased staffing and the acquisitions we have made. We expect our capital requirements to continue to increase in the future as we seek to expand our operations. We believe that our current cash, available lines of credit and the cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for at lease the next twelve months. (d) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 141 Business Combinations and Statement No.142 Goodwill and other Intangible Assets. These statements are effective July 1, 2001 for business combinations completed on or after that date. These statements became effective for us on January 1, 2002 with respect to business combinations completed on or before June 30, 2001. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued "SFAS" No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses the accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company is currently assessing the impact on the consolidated financial statements and will adopt the provisions of this standard in the first quarter of 2003. In October, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued "SFAS" No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which established a universal accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The Company adopted the provisions in the first quarter of 2002 and it had not impact to the consolidated financial statements. Item 3. Controls and Procedures Within 90 days of the filing of this report on Form 10-QSB, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including James E. Henry, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Louis Massad, Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14. Based upon that evaluation, Messrs. Henry and Massad have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls procedures are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the Company is meeting its disclosure obligations. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other facts that could significantly affect internal controls since the date of Messrs. Henry's and Massad's most recent review of the Company' internal control systems. The design of any system 11 of internal controls and procedures is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Part II Other Information - Item 1.
