6.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 128  "Earnings  Per
Shares" which requires  companies to report basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS")  computations.   Basic  EPS  excludes  dilution  and  is  based  on  the
weighted-average  common  shares  outstanding  and diluted  EPS gives  effect to
potential  dilution  of  securities  that  could  share in the  earnings  of the
Company. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed issuance of shares with respect to the
Company's  employee stock  options,  non-employee  stock  options,  warrants and
convertible notes and preferred stock.

secured  by  all  assets  of  the  Company  and  all  assets  of  its  operating
subsidiaries.  The Company owed $900,526  under the Credit  Facility at December
31, 2000.

The Credit Facility includes various covenants, which among other things, impose
limitations  on  declaring  or  paying   dividends,   acquisitions  and  capital
expenditures. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios.
At December 31, 2000,  the Company was not in default with any of its  financial
covenants.

Net cash  provided by  operations  for the three months ended  December 31, 2000
amounted to $556,378 as compared to cash being (used) by  operations  of $34,412
for the comparable prior year period. The primary reason for cash being provided
by  operations  was due to an increase of $306,562 in  operating  profit  before
taxes.  Contributing  to  cash  being  provided  by  operations  in  2000  was a
$1,637,000  reduction in accounts  receivable  which was used to reduce accounts
payable and accrued expenses by $1,032,000. The higher level of revenues in 2000
(an increase of $128,000)  was achieved  without an increase in working  capital
requirements.  Accordingly  the resulting cash flow was primarily used to reduce
borrowing under the Credit Facility by $533,000.

The ratio of the Company's  current assets to current  liabilities  decreased to
approximately  2.91 to 1 at December 31, 2000  compared to 3.24 to 1 at December
31, 1999.  This decrease in the current ratio is due to a $516,000  reduction of
working capital which was used to reduce borrowing under the Credit Facility.

Results of Operations

Revenues

The Company's  product revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2000,
were  $2,883,229  as compared to $2,815,969  for the prior year period.  Product
revenues  increased  2% in 2000 due to the timing of the  release of orders from
the Company's backlog.

Service  revenues  increased during the current three month period to $1,062,864
from  $1,002,372  in the  comparable  prior year period.  The increase  reflects
higher  call-in  maintenance  service on fire  systems as well as an increase in
service contract revenue.

              2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations


Gross Profit

Gross profit on product  revenues for the three months ended  December 31, 2000,
increased 54% to $971,203 as compared to $632,672 in the  comparable  prior year
period.  In 2000 gross  profit was 34% of sales  compared  to 22% in 1999.  This
increase in gross profit in the current three month period is due to a favorable
mix of products  sold and  includes  the benefit of an  engineering  and product
management  contract (service with no material content).  In contrast during the
1999 three month  period,  product mix was  unfavorably  affected by $400,000 of
subcontractor  work with minimal gross margin.  The 1999  quarterly  period also
included  shipment of a large  communication  system to a rail car  manufacturer
that  carried a very low gross margin due to the  introduction  of a new product
and cost overruns due to technical problems.

Gross profit on service  revenues  for the three months ended  December 31, 2000
decreased 1.4% to $348,786 due to certain wage increases to service  technicians
and from higher than  normal  materials  required  for  maintaining  life safety
systems under service contracts.

Income Before Tax

The improvement in operating  income in 2000 is due to improved  product mix and
related gross margin,  which included the favorable effect of an engineering and
product  management  contract and from  performance on projects with better than
normal  gross  margins.  In  contrast,  the  three  month  period  of  1999  was
unfavorably effected by certain subcontractor work with minimal gross margin and
shipment  of  a  low  margin  rail  car   communication   product  (new  product
introduction with cost overruns due to development problems). The improvement in
operating  gross  margins were reduced by a 5% increase in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  to support  higher  product  sales and expand  product
territory.  Favorably  affecting  operating income was a 35% decline in interest
expense due to lower borrowing levels during the three month period of 2000.

Tax Provision

The Company's current income tax provision  represents federal,  state and local
income taxes.  In 1999, a current income tax benefit was recorded to reflect the
tax savings  from the 1999  operating  loss.  Due to the timing  differences  of
certain  expenses,  deferred  tax  benefits  were  recorded  in 2000 and 1999 on
expenses to be reported in future taxable periods.

Order Position

The Company's order position,  excluding service,  at December 31, 2000 amounted
to $7,600,000 as compared to $7,800,000 at September 30, 2000 and $10,700,000 at
December  31,  1999.  The  decrease in order  position  since  December 31, 1999
reflects  the  shipment  in 2000 of  significant  orders  received  in 1999 from
several major subway complexes,  a major  transportation  center, and an airport
facility.  While quotation  activity is brisk, there is no assurance when orders
will be received and whether the order position will  increase.  Due to the fact
that  the  Company's   products  are  sold  and  installed  as  part  of  larger
construction  or mass transit  projects,  there is typically a delay between the
booking of the contract and its revenue realization. The order position includes
and the Company  continues  to bid on projects  that might  include  significant
subcontractor  labor,  and  expects  to be active in  seeking  orders  where the
Company would act as a prime contractor.
