                COMPUDYNE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CompuDyne
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual
financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements reflect all necessary adjustments and
reclassifications (all of which are of a normal, recurring nature) that
are necessary for fair presentation for the periods presented.  It is
suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report to the Securities
and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

  In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No.44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25," which
clarifies the application of Opinion 25 for certain issues including:
(1) the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion
25, (2) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, (3) the accounting consequences of various
modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or reward
and (4) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a
business combination.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of
this interpretation will have a material impact on the financial position
or results of operation.

  In May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on
EITF Issue No.00-14: "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives," which
addresses the recognition, measurement  and income classification for
sales incentives offered voluntarily by vendors, without costs to
consumers, as a result of a single exchange transaction.  The Company
will be required to and will adopt EITF Issue No. 00-14 in the third
quarter of 2000.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the
potential impact of this consensus on its financial position and results
of operation.


Page Eight

  In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements," which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue in financial statements.  The guidelines in SAB
No. 101 must be adopted by the fourth quarter of 2000.  The Company is in
the process of evaluating the potential impact of SAB No. 101 on its
financial position and results of operations.

Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
presentation.

4.    NET INCOME PER SHARE

Earnings per share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share."  This statement requires dual presentation of basic
and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement.
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of
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.

The following is a reconciliation of the amounts used in calculating
basic and diluted net income per common share:

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 2000 and 1999 Comparison
---------------------------------------

Net sales for the Company were $33.4 million for the second quarter of
2000, an increase of $5.7 million from $27.7 million for the second
quarter of 1999. Sales in the Corrections group were $24.1 million, an
increase of  $2.2 million from $21.9 million in 1999.  This increase is
primarily a result of increased revenues for the Norment Security Group,
completing new work from the backlog accumulated in 1999 and incremental
sales at CorrLogic, Inc.   Net sales for the Federal Systems group
increased  $1.1 million to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2000,
from $2.4 million in the same period in 1999.  Net sales for the Attack
Protection group were $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2000, an
increase of $2.6 million from the $3.2 million for the same period in
1999. MicroAssembly Systems, Inc. ("MicroAssembly") which had net sales
of $270 thousand in the second quarter of 1999, was sold on May 28, 1999.

CompuDyne's gross margin increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of
2000 to $6.2 million,  an increase of $5.1 million in the second quarter
of 1999.  The Corrections group increased $642 thousand to $4.8 million
for the second quarter of 2000 from  $4.2 million for the second quarter
of 1999.  This increase was primarily a result of the increased net sales
of the Norment Security Group.  Gross margin for the Federal Systems
group increased by $223 thousand from $397 thousand in the second quarter
of 1999 to $620 thousand in the second quarter of 2000. The Attack
Protection group increased $229 thousand to $727 thousand for the second
quarter of 2000 from  $498 thousand for the second quarter of 1999.
MicroAssembly, which had a gross margin of $20 thousand in the second
quarter of 1999, was sold on May 28, 1999.

CompuDyne's selling, general and administrative expenses increased $480
thousand to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2000 from $3.7 million
for the same period in 1999. The Corrections group was $3.0 million for
the second quarter of 2000, an increase of  $221 thousand from $2.8
million for the first quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily due to
the addition of CorrLogic, Inc. on April 30, 1999. The Federal Systems
group selling, general and administrative expenses were $224 thousand in
the second quarter of 2000, an increase of  $44 thousand from $180
thousand in the second quarter of 1999.  The Attack Protection group
increased selling, general and administrative expenses by $162 thousand
to $514 thousand for the second quarter of 2000, from $352 thousand for
the same period in 1999. MicroAssembly, which had selling, general and
administrative expenses of $60 thousand in the second quarter of 1999,
was sold on May 28, 1999.  CompuDyne corporate selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $113 thousand from $331 thousand in the
second quarter of 1999 to $444 thousand for the second quarter of 2000.
This increase is primarily attributable to costs associated with the
purchase of an annuity to relieve CompuDyne of the liability for the
Kolux pension plan obligation and incurring costs associated with a
potential acquisition that has been abandoned.


Page Twelve

Research and development costs increased to $50 thousand for the second
quarter of 2000, an increase of  $9 thousand from $41 thousand in the
same period of 1999.  All research and development costs for both periods
were spent in the Federal Systems group for improvements to the current
product line of Data Control Systems, a division of Quanta Systems
Corporation.

Interest expense was $547 thousand in the second quarter of 2000, a
decrease of  $7 thousand from $554 thousand in the second quarter of
1999.  This is attributable to principal prepayments made during the
third quarter of 1999.

Net income for the second quarter of 2000 for CompuDyne was $827
thousand, an increase of  $212 thousand from $615 thousand in the second
quarter of 1999.  Net income for the Corrections group increased $242
thousand to $713 thousand for the second quarter of 2000 from $471
thousand for the second quarter of 1999.  CorrLogic, a unit within the
Corrections group, has had the major portion of its operating expenses
charged against a reserve established at the time of its acquisition for
anticipated losses to be incurred on acquired contracts.  This amounted
to $366 thousand, net of tax benefit, during the second quarter of 2000
and at June 30, 2000, the reserve was fully utilized.  Favorable
operating results going forward from this unit is dependent on its
ability to successfully compete for and win profitable contracts. The
Federal Systems group net income increased $84 thousand to $136 thousand
in the second quarter of 2000, from $52 thousand for the second quarter
of 1999.  Net income for the Attack Protection group was $39 thousand for
the second quarter 2000, an increase of $21 thousand from $18 thousand
for the same period in 1999. MicroAssembly's contribution to net income
went down by $84 thousand, since it was sold on May 28, 1999.  The
unallocated corporate office costs for the second quarter increased $51
thousand to $61thousand in the second quarter of 2000, from $10 thousand
for the second quarter of 1999.

The Company had a backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2000 of
$116 million, an increase of $11 million from $105 million at the end of
the second quarter of 1999.

the first half of 1999. The Federal Systems group selling, general and
administrative expenses were $406 thousand in the first half of 2000, an
increase of  $84 thousand from $322 thousand in the first half of 1999.
The Attack Protection group increased selling, general and administrative
expenses by $145 thousand to $1.0 million for the first half of 2000,
from $856 thousand for the same period in 1999. MicroAssembly, which had
selling, general and administrative expenses of $148 thousand in the
first half of 1999, was sold on May 28, 1999.  CompuDyne corporate
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $195 thousand from
$632 thousand in the first half of 1999 to $827 thousand for the first
half of 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to costs associated
with the purchase of an annuity to relieve CompuDyne of the liability for
the Kolux pension plan obligation and the costs incurred for a potential
acquisition that has been abandoned.

Research and development costs were $89 thousand for the first half of
2000, an increase of $8 thousand from $81 thousand in 1999.  All research
and development costs for both periods were spent in the Federal Systems
group for improvements to the current product line of  Data Control
Systems, a division of Quanta Systems Corporation.

Interest expense was $1.0 million in the first half of 2000, a decrease
of $57 thousand from $1.1 million in the first half of 1999.  This is
attributable to principal prepayments made during the third quarter of
1999.

Net income for the first half of 2000 for CompuDyne was $1.6 million, an
increase of $605 thousand from $1.0 million in the first half of 1999.
Net income for the Corrections group increased $290 thousand to $1.1
million for the first half of 2000, from $760 thousand for the first half
of 1999. CorrLogic, a unit within the Corrections group, has had the
major portion of its operating expenses charged against a reserve
established at the time of its acquisition for anticipated losses to be
incurred on acquired contracts.  This amounted to $982 thousand, net of
tax benefit, during the first half of 2000 and at June 30, 2000, the
reserve was fully utilized.  Favorable operating results going forward
from this unit is dependent on its ability to successfully compete for
and win profitable contracts.  The Federal Systems group net income
increased $118 thousand to $186 thousand in the first half of 2000, from
$68 thousand for the first half of 1999. Net income for the Attack
Protection group was $440 thousand for the first half of 2000, an
increase of $330 thousand from $110 thousand for the same period in 1999.
MicroAssembly's contribution to net income went down by $101 thousand,
since it was sold on May 28, 1999.  The unallocated corporate office
costs for the first half of 2000 was $45 thousand, in increase of $32
thousand from $13 thousand for the first half of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

Net cash provided by operations was $566 thousand in the first half of
2000, a decrease of $198 thousand from $764 thousand provided by
operations in the first half of 1999.  The primary operational uses of
cash include payments to decrease accrued and other liabilities of $1.2
million and $1.9 million, respectively, an increase in inventories of
$1.1 million and property and equipment purchases of $305 thousand.
These were patricianly offset by decreases in accounts receivable and
costs in excess of billings. The primary financing activities were
principal payments of $1,070 thousand in long-term debt.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
--------------------

Subsequent to December 31, 1999 and to date, the Company has not had any
adverse effects to its systems or operations resulting from the Year 2000
issues.  As a result, there has been no need to implement any Year 2000
contingency plans.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk
__________________

CompuDyne used fixed and variable rate notes payable to finance its
acquisition of Norment/Norshield.  These on-balance sheet financial
instruments, to the extent they provide for variable rates of interest,
expose the Company to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate
exposure resulting from changes in the LIBOR rate used to determine the
interest rate applicable to the borrowing under the Company's loan from
LaSalle National Bank.

The information below summarizes CompuDyne's sensitivity to market risks
associated with fluctuations in interest rates as of June 30, 2000.  To
the extent that the Company's financial instruments expose the Company to
interest rate risk, they are presented in the table below.  The table
presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by year of
maturity of the Company's notes payable with variable rates of interest
in effect at June 30, 2000.

The Company used a foreign exchange contract to partially hedge their
exposure to exchange rate risk related to one firmly committed sales
contract.  The foreign exchange contract was entered into for non-trading
purposes and was matched to the underlying transaction and did not
constitute speculative or leveraged positions independent of this
exposure.  As most of this contract has been completed, no significant
exchange risk exists as of June 30, 2000.
