NOTE 4: INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all
periods presented. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in
the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LIQUIDITY

Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended October 31, 2000 was
$328,000. The increase in accounts receivable was partially offset by the
decrease in inventory and the non-cash adjustments to net income.

In April, 1999, the Company refinanced its line of credit under an agreement
with a major New York bank. Under the line of credit, the Company may borrow up
to $5,000,000. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets, excluding real estate. Borrowings under the line of
credit at October 31, 2000 were $800,000.

The line of credit contains certain covenants.

Management believes that it will be able to maintain adequate working capital
and cash balances to meet its current needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated sales and net income for the quarter ended October 31, 2000 were
$5,233,000 and $349,000 respectively as compared to $4,893,000 and $267,000 for
the quarter ended October 31, 1999. Consolidated sales and net income for the
six months ended October 31, 2000 were $10,253,000 and $390,000 respectively as
compared to $8,814,000 and $412,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1999.
Sales increased by 16% during the six months ended October 31, 2000 versus the
same period last year. The increase in sales reflects the increase in product
sales versus the same period in 1999.

Gross profit percentage for the three months ended October 31, 2000 was 37.2% as
compared to 39.6% for the three months ended October 31, 1999. Gross profit
percentage for the six months ended October 31, 2000 was 37.7% as compared to
38.4% for the six months ended October 31, 1999. The decrease in gross profit
percentage was primarily due to the completion of a project in the 1999 period
that had high gross profit.

Operating income for the six months ended October 31, 2000 was $643,000 as
compared to $783,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1999. As a percentage
of revenue, the operating income for the six months ended October 31, 1999 was
6.3% versus 8.9% in the same period in 1999. The decrease in operating income
and its percentage to revenue was primarily due to a non cash compensation
charge of $308,000, which reflects an employment agreement with an executive of
the Company, which provides for the executive, upon the expiration of his
agreement, with the option to sell his stock and stock options back to the
Company ($208,000), and a charge for an extension of stock options to recognize
the difference between the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date
of the extension and the stock options' exercise prices ($100,000), which was
partially offset by a reduction in stock appreciation charges of approximately
$114,000 between 2000 and 1999.

The Company has decided to close an office in the Midwest. The results of
operation for the six months ended October 31, 2000 included a net loss of
approximately $169,000, which includes the operating loss and cost to close that
subsidiary.

The Company's backlog for its life safety and other systems totaled $2,981,000
at October 31, 2000 as compared to $2,548,000 at April 30, 2000. Due to
fluctuations in the Company's backlog, management remains cautious about
predicting revenue in the fiscal year.



Significant changes in balance sheet items from April 30, 2000 to October 31,
2000 are highlighted as follows:

     1: Accounts receivable increased due to increased sales.

     2: Inventories decreased due to better control on our inventories.

     3: Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased due to an increase
     in prepaid income taxes.

     4: Accounts payable decreased due to a reduction in inventory purchases.

     5: Long-term debt decreased due to payments made on current maturities of
     the long-term debt.

     6. Accrued compensation increased due to a charge that reflects an
     employment agreement with an executive of the Company, which provides for
     the executive, upon the expiration of his employment agreement, with the
     option to sell his stock and stock options back to the Company, which was
     partially offset by stock appreciation rights income.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Information or statements provided by the Company from time to time contain
certain "forward-looking information" relating to such matters as liquidity,
projected sales and anticipated margins. The cautionary statements made herein
are being made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the "Act") and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Act for any such forward-looking information. The
Company cautions readers that any forward-looking information provided by the
Company is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results may
differ materially from those in the forward-looking information as a result of
various factors, including but not limited to the acceptance in what is a new
market for the Company, the national market (historically, the vast majority of
the Company's revenues have been derived from the New York City market) of the
Company's newly-introduced line of safety products for the national market. The
principal manufacturers against whom the Company expects to compete in the
national market are generally better financed, have products accepted in the
market and have long-established distribution and servicing networks. The
Company's future growth is to a large extent dependent on being able to compete
successfully against these competitors.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings


Intellisec, a California corporation v. Firecom, Inc., a purported corporation;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosendin Electric. Inc., a purported corporation; Does 1 through 25, Inclusive,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case No. BC 216249
The Complaint was filed on September 3, 1999, in the Los Angeles Superior Court,
Central District. The principal parties are Intellisec, Rosendin and Firecom.
L.A. Arena Company, Ltd., a limited partnership has been added as a defendant.
Rosendin is a contractor for a construction project in Los Angeles, California.
On or about August 28, 1998, Intellisec entered into a written Subcontract
Agreement to furnish and install complete and operational fire life safety,
smoke control and mechanical test panel systems for the project. Intellisec
alleges that, with respect to Rosendin, there were substantial delays caused by
failure of other contractors and/or subcontractors as well as change orders such
that Intellisec is owed in excess of $1,000,000 by Rosendin. Intellisec also
claims that Rosendin and Firecom agreed and conspired between themselves to take
over the work from Intellisec and to prevent Intellisec from obtaining a
contract for maintenance services for the systems and equipment upon completion
of the project.

Firecom denies there was any such conspiracy or arrangement and contends that
Intellisec failed to pay for product delivered to it, failed to have the
necessary manpower or trained technicians for the project and that the removal
of Intellisec from the job by Rosendin was done solely by Rosendin and was the
result of Intellisec's own actions or inaction. The Complaint seeks compensatory
damages against Firecom based on information and belief in an amount in excess
of $1,000,000, interest thereon and costs of suit. In addition, the Complaint
seeks punitive or exemplary damages from Firecom (in California a plaintiff may
not allege a specific amount for punitive damages). On October 29, 1999, Firecom
filed an Answer denying liability and a Cross-Complaint against Intellisec. The
Cross-Complaint seeks compensatory damages for breach of contract and money had
and received in an amount in excess of $200,000 together with interest and costs
of suit. On February 8, 2000, the Court granted Firecom's motion to dismiss or
stay Intellisec's complaint. On December 23, 1999, pursuant to the Court's
Order, the action was stayed pending resolution of the claims in a New York
forum pursuant to the parties' contractual forum selection clause.

Based on the three orders staying each of the California actions as to Firecom,
on June 16, 2000, Intellisec filed an action in the United States District
Court, Eastern District of New York, entitled Intellisec, Aria Kozak and Donna
Kozak, Plaintiffs v. Firecom, Inc., Defendant, Case No, 00-3557.

The Complaint contains claims for relief for Declaratory Relief, Breach of
Contract/ Specific Performance, Breach of Contract/ Damages, Breach of the
Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Intentional Interference with
Contract and Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage,
Violation of California Civil Code sections 1790 et seq. Negligent
Misrepresentation, Implied Indemnity, Equitable Indemnity, Contribution and
Injunctive Relief. The claims set forth in the Complaint relate to the three
actions filed by Intellisec in California and, in addition to equitable relief,
seek compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages in an undetermined amount.

In November 2000, Rosendin filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint which added
Firecom as a cross-defendant. The First Amended Cross-Complaint asserts causes
of actions against Firecom for implied contractual indemnity, equitable
indemnity, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of express warranties
and breach of implied warranties and seeks damages according to proof. The First
Amended Cross-Complaint has not been served as of the date of this report.

Firecom denies any liability to Rosendin and specifically denies the breach of
any warranties, express or implied. Further, Firecom contends that Rosendin
expressly agreed to indemnify Firecom for any claims or damages arising from the
construction project.
