EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this Amendment) amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (the Original Report) of Tri-S
Security Corporation (the Company). As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 10, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors determined that the Companys
consolidated financial statements included in the Original Report and in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2008, should be restated because they
contain errors as addressed in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The errors in the Companys consolidated financial statements
included in the Original Report relate to an incorrect payroll accrual for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. As a result of this incorrect accrual, direct and indirect labor expense, cost of revenues and net loss were understated, and gross
profit was overstated, in the Original Report. The Company does not expect any negative impact to its liquidity position as a result this error.

The
restated consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, included in this Amendment (the Restatement) report: (i) direct labor expense of $26,513,000 as opposed to direct labor expense of $26,266,000
as reported in the Original Report; (ii) indirect labor expense of $10,539,000 as opposed to indirect labor expense of $10,496,000 as reported in the Original Report; (iii) cost of revenues of $37,457,000 as opposed to cost of revenues of
$37,167,000 as reported in the Original Report; and (iv) gross profit of $3,240,000 as opposed to gross profit of $3,530,000 as reported in the Original Report; and (v) net loss of $6,077,000 as opposed to net loss of $5,786,000 as
reported in the Original Report.

The restated consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, included in this
Amendment (the Restatement) report: (i) direct labor expense of $67,741,000 as opposed to direct labor expense of $67,026,000 as reported in the Original Report; (ii) indirect labor expense of $28,485,000 as opposed to indirect
labor expense of $28,269,000 as reported in the Original Report; (iii) cost of revenues of $97,440,000 as opposed to cost of revenues of $96,509,000 as reported in the Original Report; and (iv) gross profit of $8,068,000 as opposed to
gross profit of $8,999,000 as reported in the Original Report; and (v) net loss of $10,021,000 as opposed to net loss of $9,087,000 as reported in the Original Report.

This Amendment amends and restates Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I and Item 6 of Part II of the Original Report to the extent necessary to reflect the effects of the Restatement. Except for such amendments,
this Amendment continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Report, and the Company has not modified or updated other disclosures presented in the Original Report affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should
be read in conjunction with the Original Report and the Companys filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.

TRI-S SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2008

1. Organization

Tri-S Security Corporation, a Georgia corporation (Tri-S, the Company or we), was incorporated in October 2001 under the name Diversified Security Corporation. We
changed our name to Tri-S Security Corporation on August 16, 2004. We provide contract guard services to (i) various Federal government agencies through our subsidiary, Paragon Systems, Inc., an Alabama corporation with
its principal office located in Washington, DC (Paragon Systems); and (ii) commercial, state and local government customers through our subsidiary, The Cornwall Group, Inc., a Florida corporation with its principal office
located in Miami, Florida (Cornwall).

We provide cost-effective solutions to ensure the safety and security of the assets and
personnel of our customers and to continually improve the protection we provide for their personnel, programs, resources and facilities. Our goal is to provide demonstrably superior contract guard services with the highest degree of integrity and
responsiveness.

In January 2006, Paragon Systems entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Southeastern Protective Services, Inc.
(Southeastern Protective Services) to form Southeastern Paragon (also referred to herein as SEP). Paragon Systems owns 49% and Southeastern Protective Services owns 51% of SEP. Southeastern Paragon was formed to bid on
certain contracts, and Paragon Systems manages the contracts awarded to SEP. We account for the results of SEP in accordance with Accounting Principal Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46(R) (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities  an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.

In September, 2007, Paragon Systems formed On Duty Patrol Services LLC (ODPS), a joint venture between Paragon Systems and On Duty Patrol
Services, Inc. ODPS has been certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a small and disadvantaged business (an 8(a) firm) and is therefore qualified to bid on security contracts specially designated for 8(a) firms. Paragon
Systems owns 49% of ODPS. Since formation, ODPS has not entered into any contracts.

All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The financial statements presented are unaudited and have been
prepared by our management in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for
the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. For further information, see our audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007 (the Annual Report) filed with the SEC. Disclosure that substantially duplicates the disclosure contained in the footnotes to the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report has been
omitted from these notes.

3. Restatement

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company determined the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008 should be restated as these financials contained certain
errors as addressed in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The errors in the Companys consolidated financial statements relate to an
incorrect payroll accrual for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a result of this incorrect accrual, direct labor expense, indirect labor and other supports costs, cost of revenues and net loss were understated, and gross
profit was overstated.

The restated amounts in these amended consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30,
2008, are as follows: i) direct labor expense of $26,513,000 as opposed to direct labor expense of $26,266,000 as previously reported; (ii) indirect labor and other support costs of $10,539,000 as opposed to indirect labor and other support
costs of $10,496,000 as previously reported; (iii) cost of revenues of $37,457,000 as opposed to cost of revenues of $37,167,000 as previously reported; and (iv) gross profit of $3,240,000 as opposed to gross profit of $3,530,000 as
previously reported; and (v) net loss of $6,077,000 as opposed to net loss of $5,786,000 as previously reported.

of $8,999,000 as previously reported; and (v) net loss of $10,021,000 as opposed to net loss of $9,087,000 as previously reported in the Original Report

4. Liquidity

We have historically incurred losses and has not yet generated sufficient levels of cash flows from operating
activities to meet our scheduled debt service payments and other obligations. On November 13, 2008, we completed our offer to exchange our outstanding 10% Convertible Promissory Notes due 2008 (the 10% Notes) for our 14% Convertible
Promissory Notes due 2010 (the New Notes) and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the Exchange Offer). The Exchange Offer was completed on the terms and conditions set forth in our tender offer statement on
Schedule TO, initially filed with the SEC on August 20, 2008, as amended. In the Exchange Offer, approximately $6.6 million, or 86%, of the aggregate principal amount of the 10% Notes was tendered for New Notes and warrants.

The future success of the Company is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to: achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of profitable
operations; obtain and maintain adequate levels of debt and/or equity financing; and provide sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations. We anticipate that the recently awarded contracts along with the initiatives
instituted to maximize cash flows and raise additional equity will alleviate any short-term liquidity issues facing us and will contribute toward achieving profitability and positive cash flow.

5. Stock-based Compensation

Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), using the modified prospective method and, therefore, reflect
compensation expense in accordance with the SFAS No. 123(R) transition provisions. Under the modified prospective method, prior periods are not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard at earlier dates.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we recorded approximately $673,000 and $164,000 of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to employee stock options, restricted stock and warrants. After recording the expense through September 30, 2008, there remained approximately $238,000 of unrecognized compensation
cost related to unvested employee stock options to be recognized over the next 1.6 years.

6. Goodwill, Intangibles and Impairment

We evaluate goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related
projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the
related undiscounted cash flows, then the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, certain of Cornwalls contracts with Miami-Dade County General Services Administration, which represent approximately 34% of Cornwalls revenue, were not renewed. As a result
of the loss of these contracts, we assessed the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, using the residual valuation method. Based on
this assessment, we determined that approximately $4.0 million of goodwill at Cornwall is impaired at September 30, 2008. This impairment charge is recorded in Goodwill impairment loss in the income statement included in this
Quarterly Report.

7. Common and Preferred Stock

On September 13, 2007, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the Paragon Settlement Agreement), among the Company, Paragon Systems, and Ronald G. Farrell, our Chief Executive
Officer, on the one hand, and Charles Keathley, Robert Luther, John Wilson and Harold Bright, on the other hand (collectively, the Selling Shareholders), with respect to all of the litigation pending among the Company, Paragon Systems,
Mr. Farrell and the Selling Shareholders (collectively, the Litigation). Pursuant to the Paragon Settlement Agreement:

(i)
we paid the Selling Shareholders an aggregate of $1,250,000;

(ii) we cancelled the shares of our Series C redeemable preferred stock held
by the Selling Shareholders, which shares had an aggregate redemption value of $6,000,000;

##### Table of Contents

(iii) the Selling Shareholders terminated and released their security interest in the outstanding shares
of capital stock of Paragon Systems;

(iv) we issued to the Selling Shareholders an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock and an
aggregate of 100 shares of our newly-designated Series D redeemable preferred stock (the Preferred Shares), which Preferred Shares (a) have an aggregate redemption value of $1,500,000, payable upon the earlier of September 13,
2012 or the date on which the Company sells 70% or more of its assets in one or more transactions (unless the proceeds from such sale are reinvested in the Companys business, used to restructure debt or used for acquisitions or working capital
purposes), and (b) accrue dividends of $750 per share per annum which are payable quarterly;

(v) we agreed not to amend
Mr. Farrells employment agreement with the Company to increase or enhance the compensation or benefits payable to him thereunder until September 13, 2008;

(vi) we agreed to issue to the Selling Shareholders an aggregate of 10% of any equity securities of the Company which are issued to Mr. Farrell during the period which commenced on May 18, 2007 and ended on
May 18, 2008;

(vii) the Selling Shareholders granted to Mr. Farrell a proxy to vote, in his sole and absolute discretion, an
aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock held by them until such time as such shares are sold by them to an unaffiliated party in accordance with the terms of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act);

(viii) we agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders for costs and expenses incurred by them relating to the litigation which had been pending against
us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia regarding our initial public offering; and

(ix) the Company,
Paragon Systems and the Selling Shareholders released each other from all claims and obligations among them existing as of September 13, 2007 (except for obligations arising pursuant to the terms of the Paragon Settlement Agreement) and have
caused the Litigation to be dismissed with prejudice.

During the first quarter of 2008, we granted to Mr. Farrell an option to
purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, which option vests with respect to one-half of the underlying shares on the date of grant and the remaining one-half of the underlying shares on the first anniversary
of the date of grant. Pursuant to the Paragon Settlement Agreement and concurrently with the grant to Mr. Farrell, the Company granted to the Selling Shareholders options to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $2.50 per share, which options vest on the same schedule as the option granted to Mr. Farrell.

On September 13, 2007,
and pursuant to the Paragon Settlement Agreement, we cancelled the shares of our Series C redeemable preferred stock held by the Selling Shareholders. Holders of the Series C redeemable preferred stock had no voting rights, except that a
consent of a majority of the holders of the Series C redeemable preferred stock, voting separately as a class, was required to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series C redeemable preferred stock and except as
otherwise required by applicable law. The Series C redeemable preferred stock did not have any preemptive, conversion or sinking fund rights nor did it have any rights or preferences in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
the Company.

During the second quarter of 2008, we granted Les Kaciban, the President of Paragon Systems, 125,000 shares of restricted
stock valued at $2.46 per share. These restricted shares vest evenly over a three-year period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recorded approximately $8,500 of expense related to these restricted shares. This amount is included
in total stock compensation expense reported in Footnote 4, Stock-based Compensation. After recording the expense through September 30, 2008, there remains approximately $265,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested
restricted stock to be recognized over the next 2.6 years.

We are authorized to issue 25 million shares of common stock with a par
value of $0.001 per share. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights and has no conversion rights. Each share of common stock has an equal and ratable right
to receive dividends to be paid from assets legally available when and if declared by our Board of Directors. We have never paid any cash dividends on common stock.

8. Debt and Other Obligations

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On October 18, 2005, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the Original Credit Agreement) with LSQ Funding Group, L.C. (LSQ)
and BRE LLC (BRE and, together with LSQ, our Lenders), pursuant to which we borrowed $1,650,000 pursuant to a term loan with a maturity date of October 1, 2007 and $3,500,000 pursuant to a term loan with a maturity date
of October 1, 2009. During the second quarter of 2006, these term loans were paid in full.

On September 27, 2006, Paragon
Systems executed a Guaranty of Joint Venture (the JV Guaranty) pursuant to which Paragon Systems unconditionally guarantees to LSQ the prompt payment and performance of all obligations, indebtedness and liabilities,

whether currently existing or subsequently arising, of SEP (the JV Obligations). The JV Obligations include the obligations, indebtedness and
liabilities of SEP to LSQ under that certain Factoring and Security Agreement between SEP and LSQ dated as of September 27, 2006 (the JV Factoring Agreement), pursuant to which LSQ will purchase from SEP from time to time certain
accounts receivable at a discount of 0.7% and provide SEP a professional accounts receivable management service for a funds usage fee equal to the prime rate plus 1.0% on the funds advanced on the outstanding accounts receivable purchased. The JV
Factoring Agreement has a $1,000,000 initial purchase limit and a one-year term which will automatically renew unless SEP provides notice of its intent to terminate.

During March 2007, we entered into an Amendment and Forbearance Agreement with our Lenders pursuant to which we amended the Original Credit Agreement and secured an additional $2.5 million term loan with our Lenders
to provide additional financing. The term loan matures on March 28, 2010.

On December 31, 2007, we entered into an Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) with our Lenders, which amends and restates the Original Credit Agreement to provide us with a revolving, asset-based lending facility with up to $25.0 million of
borrowing availability, replacing our pre-existing factoring facility with up to $12.0 million of borrowing availability under the Original Credit Agreement. In connection with entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we also entered
into (i) a Loan and Security Agreement with LSQ (the Loan and Security Agreement) and (ii) a Supplemental Agreement to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with our Lenders (the Credit Agreement Supplement).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement continues to provide for the $2,500,000 term loan to us contemplated by the Original Credit
Agreement. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, interest on the term loan accrues at a rate equal to the prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time (the Prime Rate), plus 4.50% (the
Non-Default Rate), but at no time shall the interest rate be less than 11.25% per annum. If an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement occurs, then interest accrues on the term loan at a rate equal to the
Non-Default Rate plus 5% and certain other default fees specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement would become due and payable. The term loan requires us to pay a Minimum Balance Fee as described in the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement if the term loan is repaid prior to maturity.

Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, at our request, LSQ shall make
advances (Advances) to us not to exceed $25,000,000 and subject to a borrowing base, which base includes 90% of accounts receivable, including unbilled accounts receivable through March 31, 2008 and at any time thereafter that the
term loan has been repaid in full. Prior to repayment of the term loan, interest accrues on Advances made on the basis of (i) billed accounts receivable at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1% with a minimum of 11% and (ii) unbilled
accounts receivable at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 4.5% with a minimum of 12%. In addition, until the term loan is paid in full, we must pay LSQ a fee of .7% of the face amount of billed accounts receivable. Following repayment of the term
loan, interest accrues on all Advances at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 4.5%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement, interest is payable on all Advances at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 9.5%.
The Loan and Security Agreement expires on October 31, 2010.

Under the Credit Agreements, anytime the term loan is outstanding and so
long as unbilled accounts receivable are included in the borrowing base for purposes of making Advances, we must pay a monthly fee to our Lenders equal to 1.25% (from September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008) or 1.75% (after
January 1, 2009) of the highest daily overadvance amount, which is the highest daily amount in any given month calculated as follows: the outstanding term loan, plus all outstanding Advances less the borrowing base, minus $60,000. As a result
of an amendment to our lending agreements in September 2008, the fee was lowered to this level in exchange for, among other things, the issuance of a four-year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.27 per
share. We have also agreed to issue to our Lenders a four-year warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share for each month in which an overadvance under the Loan and Security Agreement exists. In
accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we recorded approximately $117,000 of expense related to these warrants. This amount is included in total stock compensation expense reported in Footnote 4, Stock-based Compensation.

All of our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first priority security
interest in all of our assets and a pledge of all of the equity interests in our subsidiaries.

The outstanding balance under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2008 is approximately $28 million. Additionally, from time to time during 2008 and 2007, we borrowed more than the maximum amount allowable under the availability formula in both the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement. Accordingly, on those occasions when the outstanding balance exceeded the availability, we were charged over-advance interest and fees by our Lenders.

As of December 31, 2007, we were not in compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the outstanding borrowings exceeded the
borrowing base as defined. On March 26, 2008, we entered into an Amendment and Forbearance Agreement with our Lenders pursuant to which the Lenders waived certain specified defaults under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and agreed to
forebear from exercising all remedies available to them in connection with such existing defaults until the earlier of the completion of an equity or subordinated debt offering or January 1, 2009.

##### Table of Contents

If an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any agreement we have with our
Lenders occurs, then the entire balance outstanding under all such agreements shall become immediately due and payable. We will not be able to repay this balance unless we raise significant capital by selling assets or issuing debt or equity
securities, which we may not be able to do on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If the balance outstanding under our agreements with our Lenders becomes immediately due and payable and we are unable to raise significant capital or obtain from our
Lenders an additional waiver and an agreement to forbear, then we will not be able to satisfy our obligations to our Lenders, our Lenders may proceed to foreclose on the collateral and our business and financial condition will be materially and
adversely affected.

Convertible Notes

During September and October 2005, we issued in a private placement transaction the 10% Notes and warrants to purchase 834,896 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $8,015,000. The 10% Notes
and warrants were issued in four closings between September 2, 2005 and October 14, 2005. The face value of the 10% Notes is $8,015,000. Interest is payable monthly on the face value of the 10% Notes at a rate of 10% per annum. The
gross proceeds from the offering of 10% Notes and warrants was allocated to the 10% Notes and warrants in accordance with Emerging Issue Tax Force 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or
Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (EITF 98-5). In accordance with EITF 98-5, $6,107,000 of the gross proceeds received was allocated to the 10% Notes and $1,908,000 of the gross proceeds received was allocated to
additional paid-in capital related to the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature. The conversion of the 10% Notes was restricted at the issue date because of the need for a shareholder vote to approve the contingently issuable shares as well
as certain other restrictions. In February 2006, the shareholders approved the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion of the 10% Notes. Accordingly, approximately $1.1 million of the in-the-money beneficial conversion feature was recorded
to increase the book value of the 10% Notes. Of the $1.1 million of in-the-money beneficial conversion feature, approximately $700,000 was recorded as interest expense during the second quarter of 2006 and approximately $426,000 was recorded as a
reduction to additional paid-in capital because of additional conversion restrictions associated with a certain portion of the 10% Notes. During the third quarter of 2007, the 10% Notes subject to conversion restrictions became convertible.
Accordingly, approximately $426,000 was recorded as interest expense and as an increase to paid-in capital. The remaining discount on the 10% Notes relative to face value will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the 10%
Notes.

The 10% Notes are convertible by the holders at an initial conversion price of $4.80 per share subject to certain restrictions. The
warrants issued have an exercise price of $4.80 and expire three years from the date of issuance.

The 10% Notes with an outstanding
principal balance of approximately $7.6 million matured in September and October of 2008. On November 13, 2008, we completed the Exchange Offer pursuant to which we exchanged approximately $6.6 million, or 86%, of the aggregate principal amount
of the 10% Notes for New Notes and warrants.

9. Income Taxes

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on the de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition issues. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in the recognition of $32,104 of penalties which was recorded as an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings. No adjustments were made in the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits and no material change is expected in the next twelve months. In addition, the following information required by FIN 48 is provided:



| |  |  | As noted above, as of January 1, 2007, we have accrued penalties in the amount of $32,104 related to uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2008,
the total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $208,233. Accrued interest on tax deficiencies and tax penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The recognition of unrecognized tax benefits will not impact our effective tax rate.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company and its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state and local tax returns. The tax years of 2004 to 2007 for all
jurisdictions remain open to examination.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of September 30, 2008, we had cumulative gross federal income tax net
operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $5,322,000 available to reduce future amounts of taxable income. If not utilized to offset future taxable income the current federal NOL will expire between 2027 and 2028. Additionally,
we acquired in connection with our acquisition of Cornwall in October 2005 unused federal NOLs. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, there is an annual limitation on the use of the federal NOLs acquired from Cornwall. If not utilized to
offset future taxable income, the cumulative federal NOL amount will expire from 2020 through 2025. We also had approximately $622,000 of tax affected state NOLs. If not utilized to offset future state taxable income, then the state NOLs will expire
between 2020 and 2028.

##### Table of Contents

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period of the likelihood that the recorded net
deferred tax asset will be realized. The net deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the new
deferred tax asset will not be realized within a relatively short period, generally no more than three years. As of September 30, 2008, management recorded a total valuation allowance of approximately $2,451,000 against its deferred tax assets
including the federal NOLs.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was -0.3% and -36.0%,
respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the principal cause of the difference between the effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 34% was the tax adjustment related to our impairment loss and the recording of an
additional allowance of $697,000 against our deferred tax assets.

10. Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the effect of our warrants, restricted stock and stock options were not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

11. Sales to Major Customers

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, 66.9%, and 47.8% of our revenue was earned under contracts with
various Federal government agencies through our Paragon Systems/SEP subsidiary. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, three customers individually accounted for at least 10% of total revenue: the Social Security
Administration (approximately $14.3 million or 13.5% of revenue), Department of Homeland Security-Southern California (approximately $16.4 million, or 15.6% of revenue) and the Miami-Dade County General Services Administration (approximately $12.9
million or 12.3% of revenue). As of September 30, 2008, three of the contracts with Miami-Dade County expired pursuant to their terms. Of the $12.9 million of revenue recorded during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, $10.4
million is related to these three contracts. Our agreement with the Miami-Dade County to provide services under the fourth contract expires on November 31, 2008. Miami-Dade County currently has put this contract out for re-bid. Until such time
as the contract is awarded, we continue to service Miami-Dade County on a month-to-month basis.

At September 30, 2008 and 2007,
approximately 77.7% and 59.1% of accounts receivable were due from various Federal government agencies, respectively.

12. Cornwall Settlement

At the closing of our acquisition of Cornwall, we paid a total purchase price of $13,500,000 payable as follows: (i) payment of
$12,825,000 in cash; (ii) delivery of a promissory note in principal amount of $250,000 payable to the former Cornwall shareholders (the Cornwall Promissory Note); and (iii) deposit of $425,000 with an escrow agent to secure
the indemnification obligations of the former Cornwall shareholders under the Stock Purchase Agreement between us and the former Cornwall shareholders dated as of August 11, 2005 (the Cornwall Purchase Agreement). After adjusting
for certain working capital items, the net purchase price was $12,753,000. On January 26, 2007, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the Cornwall Settlement Agreement) with David Shopay, on behalf of himself
and the other former shareholders of Cornwall, in his capacity as the representative of such shareholders. Pursuant to the Cornwall Settlement Agreement (i) the parties waived and released each other from all claims and liabilities, with the
exception of certain claims and liabilities specified in the Cornwall Settlement Agreement, arising from the Cornwall Purchase Agreement; (ii) the shareholder representative forgave and discharged all amounts owed by us to the former
shareholders of Cornwall under the Cornwall Promissory Note; and (iii) the shareholder representative and the Company instructed the escrow agent administering the escrow fund to release $200,000 from such fund to us and the remaining balance
of such fund to the former shareholders of Cornwall. We recognized a gain of $450,000 as other income on the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

13. Segment Reporting

Our two reportable segments
are Cornwall and Paragon Systems/SEP. The accounting policies applicable to these reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Cornwall segment focuses on contract guard services to
commercial and state and local government customers. The Paragon Systems/SEP segment focuses on contract guard services to various Federal government agencies.

As previously discussed in footnote 5, Goodwill, Intangibles and Impairment, we recorded during the
three months ended September 30, 2008, a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $4.0 million.

14. Litigation Reserve

A search warrant was issued on January 17, 2008 by the Circuit Court of the eleventh judicial circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida to search
the premises of Forestville Security, a subsidiary of Tri-S based in Miami, for any and all records or documents pertaining to the contract between Forestville Security and Miami-Dade General Services Administration for the period of April 1,
2005 to August 1, 2007. The search warrant states that Miami-Dade General Services Administration is alleging that it has uncovered instances of fraudulent billing committed by Forestville Security in connection with the Miami-Dade General
Services Administration contract.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, Miami-Dade County refused our offer to settle all
disputes relating to the Miami-Dade General Services Administration contract for $200,000. Miami-Dade County has returned all files seized from us pursuant to the search warrant and has given us until the end of November, 2008 to analyze them in
order to make a revised settlement offer. We are undertaking this analysis and are continuing settlement negotiations with Miami-Dade County. Until such time as the analysis is complete and/or an agreement is reached with the Miami-Dade County, we
have recorded a reserve in the amount of $200,000 to cover potential costs involved in settling this matter.

Overview

We provide contract guard services to government and commercial customers. These guard services include providing uniformed and armed guards for access control, personnel protection, plant security, theft prevention, surveillance, vehicular
and foot patrol, crowd control and prevention of sabotage, terrorist and criminal activities. In connection with providing these services, we assume responsibility for a variety of functions, including recruiting, hiring, training and supervising
security guards deployed to the customers we serve as well as paying all guards and providing them with uniforms, employee benefits and workers compensation insurance. We are responsible for preventing the interruption of guard services as a
consequence of illness, vacations or resignations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make judgments regarding estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We base
our judgments on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our judgments and
related estimates regarding the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition.Revenue is recorded monthly as guard services are provided to our customers under contracts. We bill guard services in arrears at hourly or monthly rates based on the number of hours worked under some contracts
and as fixed monthly amounts under other contracts. Hourly and monthly rates are based on contractual terms.

The terms of our contracts
are complex and may be subject to differing interpretations. We make estimates and judgments about terms of the contracts in providing services and in billing and recording revenue. At times, our Federal contracts require interpretations.
Typically, differences in interpretation are resolved on a mutual basis in discussions with the government agency involved. The resolution of differences may result in a determination that amounts previously billed are not in accordance with
contract terms and adjustments of amounts initially recorded as revenue may be material.

Contracts with Federal government agencies
may be subject to cessation of funding. Cessation of funding may result in amounts billed and recorded as revenue as being uncollectible. We work with the appropriate government agency to resolve funding issues. When funding issues become
known, we make estimates and judgments about the extent of potential losses and adjust revenues accordingly. Amounts estimated could differ from amounts ultimately collected and these amounts could be material. During 2008 and 2007, none of our
contracts have been subject to cessation of funding.

Contract losses, if any, are recorded as they become known.

Cost of Revenues.Cost of revenues is primarily comprised of labor, related payroll taxes, employee benefits, workers compensation,
liability insurance, and the pro rata portion of the costs of customer contracts acquired.

We make estimates and judgments of amounts
recorded for accruals of labor related costs. Expenses most subject to estimation and judgment are accrued vacation and workers compensation costs. The terms of vacation policies may be complex and subject to interpretation. Workers
compensation insurance is subject to retroactive audit. Actual amounts could differ from the amounts initially recorded.

Impairment of
Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We evaluate impairment of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived
assets is based on discounted cash flows and the fair value of an asset.

SFAS No. 123(R).On January 1, 2006, we adopted
SFAS No. 123R using the modified-prospective-transition approach method. Under this transition method, compensation costs for 2006 include costs for options granted prior to, but not vested at, December 31, 2005, and options vested
thereafter. Therefore, results for prior periods have not been restated.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenue.Revenue increased $16.9 million to $40.7 million, or 71.0%, for the three
months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to revenue of $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue at Paragon Systems related to six new Federal
government contracts obtained in 2007 and four new federal government contracts in 2008.

##### Table of Contents

Costs of Revenues.We categorize our cost of revenues into three areas: (i) direct labor;
(ii) indirect labor and other contract support costs; and (iii) amortization of government contracts.

Direct Labor.
Direct labor is the most significant expense in providing guard services on any contract. Direct labor was approximately 65.1% of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 64.6% of revenue in the three months ended
September 30, 2007. When bidding on contracts, we must anticipate labor rates during the contract term.

Indirect Labor and Other
Contract Support Costs. This category of expenses consists primarily of indirect labor (guard supervisors), our portion of payroll taxes, employee benefit costs and other expenses. Other expenses comprise a relatively small portion of costs in
this category. As with direct labor, when bidding on contracts, we must anticipate the cost of providing supervisory oversight of the guards performing the actual guard services and the related payroll taxes and employee benefits that are provided
to both guards and supervisors. Indirect labor and other contract support costs were approximately 25.9% of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 27.4% of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2007. The
decrease in 2008 over 2007 is due primarily to improved profitability on new contracts at Paragon Systems and lower workers compensation insurance expense due to lower claims at Cornwall.

Amortization of Customer Contracts. Upon our acquisition of each of Paragon Systems and Cornwall, the existing contracts were valued in accordance
with purchase accounting rules, and the resulting asset values are being amortized over the remaining term of each contract proportionate to estimated future discounted cash flows based on an independent appraisal.

Total Cost of Revenue. Our total cost of revenue was 92.0% of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 93.6% of revenue in
the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in 2008 over 2007 is due to improved profitability on new contracts at Paragon and lower workers compensation insurance expense due to lower claims at Cornwall.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was 9.4% in the three months
ended September 30, 2008 and 12.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses, which include payroll and related expenses for administrative personnel, occupancy costs at the office
locations, consulting and professional fees, and other miscellaneous office and corporation expenses, increased $957,000 to $3.8 million, or 33.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $2.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to higher non-cash charges on stock-based compensation taken in the second quarter of 2008 in accordance with FAS No. 123(R) upon the issuance of stock options to employees, as well
as a $200,000 litigation reserve established in the third quarter of 2008 to cover estimated costs to settle disputes with Miami-Dade General Services Administration regarding billing practices at Forestville Security, a subsidiary of Cornwall.

Goodwill Impairment Loss. As a result of the loss of contracts with the Miami-Dade General Services Administration, we assessed the
carrying value of goodwill and intangibles in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 142 using the residual valuation method. Based on this assessment, we determined that approximately $4.0 million of goodwill at Cornwall is impaired at
September 30, 2008.

Other Income.For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized other income of $1.9
million related to the settlement of Litigation with the Selling Shareholders.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense relates to
the interest incurred under our credit agreements with our Lenders, the outstanding term loan, our mandatory redeemable preferred stock, and the interest expense incurred on our 10% Notes. Interest expense increased $335,000 or 33.0%, to $1.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to interest expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is due to the higher level of borrowings, resulting from new Federal
government contracts obtained at Paragon Systems, and over advance interest on our borrowing facility.

Income Tax Benefit.The loss
before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2008, resulted in a tax benefit of $24,000, while the loss before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2007, resulted in a tax benefit of $850,000. The variance
between 2008 and 2007 resulted primarily from the recording of a $697,000 valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2008.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenue.Revenue increased $40.1 million to $105.5 million, or 61.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to revenue of $65.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in
revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue at Paragon Systems related to six new Federal government contracts obtained in 2007 and four new federal government contracts in 2008.

##### Table of Contents

Costs of Revenues.We categorize our cost of revenues into three areas: (i) direct labor;
(ii) indirect labor and other contract support costs; and (iii) amortization of government contracts.

Direct Labor.
Direct labor is the most significant expense in providing guard services on any contract. Direct labor was approximately 64.2% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 63.7% of revenue in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. When bidding on contracts, we must anticipate labor rates during the contract term.

Indirect Labor and Other
Contract Support Costs. This category of expenses consists primarily of indirect labor (guard supervisors), our portion of payroll taxes, employee benefit costs and other expenses. Other expenses comprise a relatively small portion of costs in
this category. As with direct labor, when bidding on contracts, we must anticipate the cost of providing supervisory oversight of the guards performing the actual guard services and the related payroll taxes and employee benefits that are provided
to both guards and supervisors. Indirect labor and other contract support costs remained constant at approximately 27.0% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 27.4% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30,
2007.

Amortization of Customer Contracts. Upon our acquisition of each of Paragon Systems and Cornwall, the existing contracts were
valued in accordance with purchase accounting rules and the resulting asset values are being amortized over the remaining term of each contract proportionate to estimated future discounted cash flows based on an independent appraisal.

Total Cost of Revenue. Our total cost of revenue was 92.4% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 92.9% of
revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in 2008 over 2007 is due to slightly lower direct labor costs in 2008 versus 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was 9.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 12.8% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses, which include payroll and related expenses for administrative personnel, occupancy costs at the office locations, consulting and professional fees, and other miscellaneous office
and corporation expenses, increased $1.5 million to $9.9 million, or 18.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to higher
non-cash charges on stock-based compensation taken in the second quarter of 2008 in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) upon the issuance of stock options to employees, as well as a $200,000 litigation reserve established in the third quarter of
2008 to cover estimated costs to settle disputes with Miami-Dade General Services Administration regarding billing practices at Forestville Security, a subsidiary of Cornwall.

Goodwill Impairment Loss. As a result of the loss of contracts with the Miami-Dade General Services Administration, we assessed the carrying value
of goodwill and intangibles in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 142 using the residual valuation method. Based on this assessment, we determined that approximately $4.0 million of goodwill at Cornwall is impaired at
September 30, 2008.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense relates to the interest incurred under our credit agreements with
our Lenders, the outstanding term loan, our mandatory redeemable preferred stock, and the interest expense incurred on our 10% Notes. Interest expense increased $1.6 million or 76.5%, to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2008, as compared to interest expense of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is due to the higher level of borrowings, resulting from new Federal government contracts obtained at Paragon Systems, over
advance interest on our borrowing facility and interest on the outstanding term loan, which was issued in March of 2007.

Other Income.For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized other income of $2,451,000 due to the recognition of (i) $1.9 million gain related to the settlement of Litigation with the Selling Shareholders, (ii) $450,000 gain
related to the settlement with the former shareholders of Cornwall, and (iii) $113,000 settlement with the Department of Homeland Security for past services.

Income Tax Benefit.The loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, resulted in a tax benefit of $32,000, while the loss before income taxes for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, resulted in a tax benefit of $1.9 million. The variance between 2008 and 2007 resulted primarily from the recording of a $1,968,000 valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of
September 30, 2008, we had $965,000 of cash on hand. Cash used by operating activities was $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which was primarily due to the net loss of $10.0 million, which includes a goodwill
impairment charge of approximately $4.0 million, and the net increase in unbilled and trade accounts receivable of $12.5 million, offset by the increase in accrued liabilities of $4.8 million. Cash provided by financing activities was $13.3 million
primarily due to the proceeds from our asset-based lending facility.

##### Table of Contents

The outstanding balance under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2008,
was approximately $28 million. Additionally, from time to time during 2008 and 2007, we have borrowed more than the maximum amount allowable under the availability formula in both the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Original Credit
Agreement. Accordingly, on those occasions when the outstanding balance exceeded the availability, we were charged the default interest and fees by our Lenders.

As of December 31, 2007, we were not in compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and our outstanding borrowings exceeded the borrowing base as defined. On March 26, 2008, we entered into an
Amendment and Forbearance Agreement with our Lenders. Pursuant to this agreement, our Lenders waived certain specified defaults under Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and agreed to forebear from exercising all remedies available to them in
connection with such existing defaults until the earlier of the completion of an equity or subordinated debt offering by the Company or January 1, 2009.

We have historically incurred losses and have not yet generated sufficient levels of cash flows from operating activities to meet its scheduled debt service payments and other obligations. On November 13, 2008,
we completed the Exchange Offer pursuant to which we exchanged approximately $6.6 million, or 86%, of the aggregate principal amount of the 10% Notes for New Notes and warrants.

The future success of the Company is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to: achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of profitable
operations; obtain and maintain adequate levels of debt and/or equity financing; and provide sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations. We anticipate that the recently awarded contracts along with the initiatives
instituted to maximize cash flows and raise additional equity will alleviate any short-term liquidity issues facing us and will contribute toward achieving profitability and positive cash flow.



|Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

In the Original Report,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of
the Exchange Act) were effective. This conclusion was reached after our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report, as required by
paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act.

In connection with preparing this Amendment, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer again evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report and concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the material
weakness that we identified in our internal control over financial reporting in that we did not maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of certain accrued liabilities and related expense accounts with respect to payroll.
Specifically, effective controls which were designed and in place to ensure the complete and accurate recording of accrued liabilities and related expenses at each period end with respect to payroll were not followed. A further discussion of this
material weakness is set forth under Item 9(a), Controls and Procedures, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, there was not any change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of
Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
