     ------      ------------

     On June 19, 2002 the Registrant (the "Company") issued a press release
announcing that it filed a Motion for Post-Trial Relief in the lawsuit brought
by ID Security Systems Canada, Inc.  The Court has ordered a Stay that will
remain in effect pending disposition of the Company's Motion. As a condition
of this Stay, the Court ordered the Company to file an approximate $26 million
surety bond with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania and to place approximately 3.2 million of its existing treasury
shares in escrow. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard
(FAS) No. 128, these shares will not be treated as outstanding for earnings per
share calculations.

     On June 24, 2004, the Company announced that it had appointed George Off
as Interim Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Off will succeed Michael Smith, who is
resigning as President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board,
effective July 15, to pursue other opportunities.  Mr. Off is a member of the
Company's Board of Directors.
