                                     PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company

     Firetector Inc.  ("Firetector" or the "Company") is a Delaware  corporation
organized in October 1988 to acquire controlling  interests in companies engaged
in the design,  manufacture,  sale and servicing of fire, life safety  security,
energy  management,  intercom,  audio-video  communication  and  other  systems.
Reference  to  Firetector  or the  Company  include  operations  of  each of its
subsidiaries  except where the context otherwise  requires.


     Firetector  conducts its  business in New York  principally  through  Casey
Systems  Inc.,  its wholly owned  subsidiary  located in Long  island,  New York
("Casey")  and in Texas through  General Sound (Texas)  Company its wholly owned
subsidiary in Dalls, Texas ("General Sound").


Firetector Products

     Firetector  designs,  manufactures,  markets and sells its own  proprietary
life  safety and  communication  systems and also  engineers,  markets and sells
systems and products  manufactured  by other parties.  Firetector's  proprietary
product  line  features  the COMTRAK  1720 and 2000 Life Safety  Systems and the
TELTRAK Communications System.


     In 1973,  New York  City  passed  Local  Law 5  requiring  that all  office
buildings  of 100 feet or more be  outfitted  with smoke  detectors,  manual and
audio  communicating  systems for life safety and fire  reporting  purposes.  In
anticipation of the demand that this legislation  would create for equipment and
systems employing improved technology and design features, Firetector engaged in
extensive  research and development  which led to its  proprietary  COMTRAK 1720
Life Safety  System which has been  installed  in scores of buildings  since the
early 1980's.

     To meet the challenges of more stringent code  requirements  and a sluggish
market for new construction, Firetector developed its new generation proprietary
COMTRAK 2000 Life Safety System which utilizes the latest technology to not only
meet the  current  code  requirements,  and  satisfy  the "wish list" of current
COMTRAK customers,  but many likely future code requirements as well. One of the
improvements  incorporated into the COMTRAK 2000 is a Fire Command Station which
offers a color CRT display  system along with three  sectional  displays.  These
features  provide the operator  with a wide  variety of  pertinent  information,
allowing for quicker response,  which is critical in an emergency.  In addition,
the expanded memory  capability of the new Fire Command Station enables a single
station to control multi-building projects and permits simplified operation.

     COMTRAK 1720 and 2000 Systems are operating in approximately  100 buildings
in New York City.  Firetector  has approvals from Factory Mutual and various New
York City agencies for the COMTRAK 1720 and COMTRAK 2000 System.


     Factory  Mutual is an  independent  testing  and  certification  laboratory
similar to Underwriters Laboratory. In order for Firetector to sell and maintain
their proprietary fire alarm systems, certification from an approved independent
testing agency is required. Without this certification,  Firetector would not be
allowed to produce and maintain its fire systems for its existing customer base,
as well as new customers.

     Neither Firetector,  nor its officers or directors has any affiliation with
Factory Mutual.


     Firetector  has  had  approvals  on its  original  1720  and  Comtrak  2000
proprietary  systems  since  the  early  1980s.  Every  time  there  is a  major
modification  done to the system,  approvals  have to be amended;  retesting and
submittal of new documentation is required. In order to maintain these approvals
Firetector  is  required  to have  Factory  Mutual's  representative  audit  its
procedures and documentation on a quarterly basis. If the Company did not follow
these procedures, it would lose its approval and would no longer be permitted to
produce and maintain its proprietary product.

     TELTRAK  Communications  Systems.  In the  early  1980s,  Firetector  began
investigating  the  intercom  market  and the  possibilities  of  utilizing  its
computerized multiplex technology for this market.  Significant  construction of
new  high-rise  housing  occurred  in the  1970s and  1980s  and  increased  the
potential demand for  technologically  advanced intercom  systems.  To meet this
demand,  Firetector developed a  micro-processor-based  combination intercom and
security system using Casey's multiplex  technology.  The TELTRAK I intercom and
security  system is capable of a variety of  accessory  functions in addition to
its basic intercom and security function. Firetector added video capabilities to
its TELTRAK I technology and created the TELTRAK II, for  installation in luxury
condominium,  cooperative and apartment buildings.  Over 16,000 TELTRAK I and II
units have been sold.  In 1991,  the  redesigned  TELTRAK III  intercom/security
station  was  introduced,   with  enhanced   features  to  expand  its  use  and
competitiveness  in the face of the  reduced  market  for  these  products.  New
features,  such as public  address,  enable  important  messages  to be given to
building occupants either locally or by groups in case of emergency.


     Multiplex  technology  is a term that is used in the industry to define the
system  architecture of the Company's  equipment.  All multiplex  technology has
basically the same concept with variation for specific equipment.



Other Products

     In the past five years Firetector has sought to diversify its product lines
to establish a greater base to absorb product support,  R & D and other overhead
and to provide product and customer diversification. To that end, Firetector has
augmented its established  position in marketing  engineered life safety systems
(proprietary and third party) by developing a significant business in engineered
sound  systems  for  application  to a  variety  of users  including  hospitals,
educational facilities and transit facilities (e.g. subway stations). Firetector
has developed a focused unit with a high level of  experience to penetrate  this
niche market with significant  success as a substantial  portion of Firetector's
order position derives from this effect. In addition,  Firetector  organized new
marketing  units to focus on marketing,  engineering  and servicing  systems and
products  manufactured by third parties,  particularly  national  manufacturers.
These  units  are   service   oriented   organizations   which  focus  on  close
relationships with customers and key suppliers.

     In 1993,  Firetector  acquired assets of a company which  manufactured  and
marketed  sophisticated  products and  on-board  information  and  communication
systems  with  applications  for  municipal   transit  carriers,   long-distance
passenger  carriers and bus and train  builders.  Firetector has integrated this
operation  into its New  York  division  and has to date  supplied  products  to
customers such as ABB Traction, Sumitomo, Kawasaki,  Morrison-Knudsen,  Siemens,
the New York City Transit Authority and AMTRAK.

Service

     Firetector continues to put an increasing priority on the development of an
integrated  and  efficient  service  organization.  Sales  personnel  have  been
dedicated to securing service  contracts and are intensifying  efforts to market
service to COMTRAK and other Firetector  projects coming out of warranty and the
renewal of such contracts. To improve efficiencies and productivity,  Firetector
organized a division  to perform  cleaning  on life  safety  systems,  which was
previously  subcontracted  to an external entity.  To improve customer  service,
Firetector  maintains  an  office  in New York City  which  houses  its New York
service management.

General Sound (Texas) Company

     General  Sound  distributes,  services,  installs  and designs a variety of
sound, fire alarm, intercom and security systems in the Dallas/Ft.  Worth, Texas
area.  General Sound  concentrates its sales effort on the commercial market and
schools. General Sound provides its customers, primarily electrical contractors,
with  engineered  systems,   assistance  in  design,  installation  support  and
post-installation service.

     General Sound has non-exclusive  distribution agreements for the Dallas/Ft.
Worth area with Notifier,  Dukane, and other manufacturers.  The product mix and
dependence  on  individual  suppliers  varies  from  year to year  depending  on
customer requirements and market trends.

Research and Development

     During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, Firetector spent
approximately $142,000 and $135,000,  respectively, for research and development
of Firetector's life safety and communication systems.

Customers and Suppliers

     For the  fiscal  years  ended  September  30,  2001 and 2000,  no  customer
accounted for more than 10% of Firetector's revenues.

Regulations

     Firetector  believes  that it is in  compliance  with  applicable  building
codes,  zoning ordinances,  occupational,  safety and hazard standards and other
Federal,  state and local  ordinances  and  regulations  governing  its business
activities.

Competition

     Firetector's business is competitive;  some of Firetector's competitors may
have greater  financial  resources and may offer a broader line of fire and life
safety products.  Firetector also faces  competition in the servicing of systems
which it sells. Accordingly,  even though Firetector may sell and install a fire
and life  safety  control  and  communications  system,  it may not  receive the
contract to service  that  system.  Firetector,  however,  believes  that it can
effectively  compete with any entity which  conforms with  applicable  rules and
regulations.

Employees

    Firetector and its subsidiaries have 125 full time employees, including 42
New York hourly employees that are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement
expiring June 2002.

Business Conditions

     Firetector  believes that its labor and material sources are sufficient and
that other than normal competitive factors, and what is discussed above or under
"MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF  OPERATION",
Firetector's  operations  and  industry do not have any special  characteristics
which may have a material impact upon its future financial performance.

Patents and Trademarks

     The  Company  does  not have  any  patents  on its  systems,  but,  it uses
proprietary  technology  which  it  seeks  to  protect  as  trade  secrets.  The
"Firetector",  "Casey Systems" and "COMTRAK"  trademarks are registered with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office.
