     In December 1995,  the Board of Directors  voted to institute a 401(k) plan
for nonunion employees to be effective January 1, 1996. The plan includes a


<PAGE>



profit sharing  provision at the  discretion of the Board of Directors.  In 2001
and 2000,  the  Board of  Directors  approved  a payment  totaling  $44,000  for
participants of the non-union and union 401(k) plans.

     Directors do not receive any compensation for their service.  Out-of-pocket
expenses for travel, meals and miscellaneous  expenses incurred in the course of
the Director's activities on behalf of the Company are reimbursed at cost.

     On April 30, 1997, the Company and its shareholders  adopted a nonqualified
stock option plan ("1997 Plan"),  which expires September 30, 2002, except as to
options then outstanding  under the 1997 Plan. Under the 1997 Plan, the Board of
Directors  may grant options to eligible  employees at exercise  prices not less
than 100% of the fair market  value of the common  shares at the time the option
is granted.  The number of shares of Common  Stock that may be issued  shall not
exceed an aggregate of up to 10% of its issued and outstanding  shares from time
to time.  Options vest at a rate of 20% per year  commencing one year after date
of grant. Issuances under the 1997 Plan are to be reduced by options outstanding
under a 1990  nonqualified  stock  option  plan  (replaced  by the  1997  Plan).
Effective September 30, 1998, all outstanding  employee stock options were reset
to an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

     On  December  29,  2000,  options  on 43,375  shares of Common  Stock  were
extended  for five more years and the option price was reset from $1.00 to $1.03
per share.

     The  Company  currently  has issued  and  outstanding  options to  purchase
204,858 shares of its Common Stock,  at various  exercise prices ranging between
$1.00 and $1.125 per share, to certain of its officers, Directors and employees.

agreement pays Mr. Vitale a royalty on certain systems  marketed and serviced by
Casey. In fiscal year ended September 30, 2001,  Casey paid $76,352  pursuant to

terms  at least  as  favorable  as could  be  obtained  from  unrelated  parties
negotiating at arms-length.

     Daniel S. Tamkin,  Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel of
Firetector,  is also  an  officer  of a  company  controlled  by a  Director  of
