Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased to

$6,214,000 or 32.6% of sales as compared to $5,447,000 or 33.7% of sales for the

same period a year ago. Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2008

increased to $11,820,000 or 32.3% of sales as compared to $10,671,000 or 35.5%

of sales for the same period a year ago. The increase in Gross profit in dollars

for the three and six months was primarily due to the addition of the Gross

profit of Marks ($1,557,000 and $2,614,000, respectively) resulting from the

acquisition on August 18, 2008 as partially offset by an increase in certain

overhead expenses in Cost of sales. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage

of sales declined primarily from the increase in certain overhead expenses as

well as a decrease in production of the Company's non-Marks product lines,

resulting in lower overhead absorption.



Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December

31, 2008 increased by $1,286,000 to $5,448,000, or 28.6% of sales, as compared

to $4,162,000, or 25.7% of sales a year ago. Selling, general and administrative

expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $1,641,000 to

$10,224,000, or 28.0% of sales, as compared to $8,583,000, or 28.6% of sales a

year ago. The increase in dollars for the three and six months ended December

31, 2008 was due primarily to the additional expenses relating to Marks

($1,137,000 and $1,591,000, respectively). The three months ended December 31,

2008 also included an increase in tradeshow expenses due to a major tradeshow

occurring in October 2008 ($199,000). This tradeshow occurred in September 2007

and was therefore included in Selling, general and administrative expense for

the first quarter of fiscal 2008.



The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31,

2008 increased by $231,000 to a provision of $129,000 as compared to a benefit

of $102,000 for the same period a year ago. The Company's provision for income

taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $122,000 to

$285,000 as compared to $163,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in

provision for income taxes for the three and six months resulted primarily from

the Company's corporate restructuring during the quarter ended December 31,

2007. As a result, the Company's effective rate for income tax was 28.0% and

30.4% for the three and six months ended December 30, 2008, respectively as

compared to (9.5)% and 9.5% for the same periods a year ago.



On August 18, 2008, the Company and its banks amended and restated the existing

$25,000,000 revolving credit agreement. The amended facility is $50,000,000 and

provides for a $25,000,000 revolving credit line as well as a $25,000,000 term

portion of which the entire $25,000,000 was utilized to finance the asset

purchase agreement as described in Note 5. The amended revolving credit

agreement and term loan was amended to $20,000,000 in November 2008 and is

secured by all the accounts receivable, inventory, the Company's headquarters in

Amityville, New York and certain other assets of Napco Security Technologies,

Inc. and the common stock of three of the Company's subsidiaries. The agreements

bear interest at either the Prime Rate or an alternate rate based on LIBOR as

described in the agreement. The August amendment extended the revolving credit

agreement to August 2012. Any outstanding borrowings are to be repaid or

refinanced on or before that time. As of December 31, 2008 there was $14,100,000

outstanding under the revolving credit facility with an interest rate of 3.5%

and $24,107,000 outstanding under the term loan with an interest rate of 3.3%.

The term loan is to be repaid in 19 quarterly installments of $893,000 each

commencing in December 2008 and a final payment of $8,033,000 due in August

2013. The agreements contain various restrictions and covenants including, among

others, restrictions on payment of dividends, restrictions on borrowings and

compliance with certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. As of

December 31, 2008 the Company was not in compliance with the covenants relating

to the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA, Debt Service Coverage Ratio and a

Modified Quick Ratio for which it has received the appropriate waivers from its

banks.
