NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) The financial statements of Borg-Warner Security Corporation and
consolidated subsidiaries ("Company") have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. The statements are unaudited, but include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, except as noted, which the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth
herein. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the entire year. Certain 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the 1998 presentation.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
(2) Included in selling, general and administrative expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 is a provision of $14.4 million that was
recorded in the second quarter of 1998. This amount was comprised of the
following: severance and lease termination costs totaling $2.1 million resulting
from the reorganization of administrative operations subsequent to the sale of
the electronic security services business and the closure and consolidation of
certain offices; $5.5 million resulting from a review of the recoverability of
certain intangible assets; $2.3 million related to the final settlement of
matters resulting from prior dispositions; and $4.5 million related to certain
other asset valuation allowances and provisions.
(3) On January 24, 1997, the Company's armored services unit entered into a
business combination with Loomis Armored. The combined operations are now known
as Loomis, Fargo & Co ("Loomis, Fargo") and are accounted for by the Company
under the equity method. The business combination impacts the comparison of the
Company's 1998 results to prior periods because the armored unit was included in
the Company's results of operations for 23 days in 1997. In the first 23 days of
1997, Armored security revenues were $15.3 million and operating profit was $0.9
million.
The Company recorded no earnings or loss for its share of Loomis, Fargo in the
third quarter of 1998 and recorded a net loss of $0.6 million for the same
period of 1997. The Company's share of the loss for the first nine months of
1998 was $0.5 million compared with net earnings of $1.9 million for the same
period of 1997 (which included an after-tax gain of $2.2 million relating to the
business combination). The Company does not guarantee the indebtedness of
Loomis, Fargo nor is it required to fund Loomis, Fargo's future operations.
(4) On May 29, 1998, the Company sold its electronic security services
business to ADT Security Services, a subsidiary of Tyco International, Ltd., for
approximately $425 million plus the assumption of approximately $6 million of
debt by the buyer. The Company recorded a net after-tax gain of $42.5
million in the second quarter.
-7-
On May 29, 1998, the Company sold its courier services business. In the first
quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a $15.9 million after-tax charge (net of
$11.0 million tax benefit) to reduce its investment in this business and to
provide for costs associated with its disposition. The Company did not record a
gain or loss as a result of completing the sale.
The following table summarizes earnings (loss) from discontinued operations:

(5) In the second quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a $6.3 million
extraordinary charge (net of $4.1 million tax benefit) for the call premium
associated with early redemption of $150 million principal amount of 9 1/8%
senior subordinated notes due 2003 and the write-off of certain deferred
financing fees.
(6) The Company's provisions for income taxes for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 reflect estimated annual tax rates for
the year applied to federal, state and foreign income.
-8-
(7) Earnings per common share are based on average common shares outstanding
and common share equivalents. Common share equivalents recognize the dilutive
effects of common shares, which may be used in the future upon exercise of
certain stock options. The number of shares used in the computation of earnings
per share were as follows (thousands of shares):
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Average common shares outstanding
and common share equivalents 23,994 24,251 24,137 24,123
============ ============ ============ ============
(8) The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.2 million at September 30, 1998
and $4.0 million at December 31, 1997, respectively. The accumulated
amortization on excess purchase price over net assets acquired was $54.1 million
at September 30, 1998 and $48.9 million at December 31, 1997.
The Company has an agreement under which it sells a revolving pool of trade
accounts receivable to a special purpose subsidiary of the Company. At September
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the subsidiary had purchased $142.4 million and
$150.8 million of such accounts receivable, respectively. The subsidiary sells
up to $120 million of undivided interests in such accounts receivable. The
difference represents the interest retained by the Company, which is considered
an interest in a security and has been included in "Other current assets." The
fair value of the retained interest approximates its carrying value due to the
short-term nature of the receivables. Also included in "Other current assets" is
$25.3 million and $17.6 million at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively, representing interest-bearing cash deposits held in trust under
the terms of the agreement. The deposits represent proceeds of collections held
back based on the amount of eligible receivables in the pool. The Company's
retained interests in the receivables and cash deposits are generally
restricted.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Net cash payments for interest and income taxes were as follows (millions of
dollars):

1998 1997

Interest paid $ 34.5 $ 29.2
Income taxes paid $ 46.2 $ 6.4

(9) The significant debt reduction is due to the sale of the electronic
security services operation for $425 million cash plus assumption of
approximately $6 million of debt by the buyer. The cash generated enabled the
company to irrevocably call for redemption its $150 million principal amount of
9 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2003. The notes were called on June 3, 1998
and fully redeemed on July 3, 1998. The $63.9 million bank revolving credit loan
was paid off on May 29, 1998.
The following tables summarize the capitalization of the Company at September
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 (millions of dollars):

(10) The Company's discontinued property and casualty insurance subsidiary
("Centaur") ceased writing insurance in 1984 and has been operating under
rehabilitation since September 1987. Rehabilitation is a process supervised by
the Illinois Director of Insurance to attempt to compromise claim liabilities at
an aggregate level that is not in excess of Centaur's assets. In rehabilitation,
Centaur's assets are being used to satisfy claim liabilities under direct
insurance policies written by Centaur. Any remaining assets will be applied to
Centaur's obligations to other insurance companies under reinsurance contracts.
On August 10, 1998 the Mission Trust and the Company agreed to settle the
pending suit against the Company, subject to court approval. The suit had
alleged damages in excess of $100 million because of Centaur's failure to
satisfy its reinsurance obligations. As part of the settlement, the Company
agreed to pay the Mission Trust $4 million and one-third of any dividend or
other distribution that may be paid to the Company after rehabilitation of
Centaur. The payments will not have an effect on Company earnings. Separately,
the Mission Trust and Centaur agreed to an uncontested liquidated claim in the
Centaur estate of $48 million, for which the Company is not liable.
Additionally, the Illinois Director of Insurance, on behalf of the Centaur
estate, and the Company agreed to exchange mutual releases of any remaining
liability of the Company to the Centaur estate.
The Company and certain of its current and former subsidiaries have been
identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain state
environmental agencies as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at several
hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent state laws and, as
such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial activities at
these sites. Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial activities at a
Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.
The Company believes that none of these matters individually or in the aggregate
will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or future
operating results, generally either because the maximum potential liability at a
site is not large or because liability will be shared with other PRPs,
-11-
although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any
such liability. Based on its estimate of allocations of liability among PRPs,
the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public
companies, will fully pay the costs allocated to them, currently available
information concerning the scope of contamination at such sites, estimated
remediation costs at such sites, indemnification obligations in favor of the
Company from the current owners of certain sold or discontinued operations,
estimated legal fees and other factors, the Company has made provisions for
indicated environmental liabilities in the aggregate amount of approximately $7
million (relating to environmental matters with respect to disposed operations
of the Company).
The Company believes that the various asserted claims and litigation in which it
is involved will not materially affect its financial position, future operating
results or cash flows, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of any such claim or litigation.
(11) In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires comprehensive
income, also known as comprehensive earnings, to be disclosed on the face of the
financial statements. Comprehensive earnings is net earnings plus or minus any
adjustments to the equity section on the balance sheet other than retained
earnings and any stock related transactions. The accumulated comprehensive loss
balances as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 were $1.0 million and
zero, respectively. The $1.0 million loss at September 30, 1998 consists solely
of currency translation adjustments.
-12-
ITEM 2.--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
- ------------------
On January 24, 1997, the Company's armored services unit entered into a business
combination with Loomis Armored, which is now known as Loomis, Fargo & Co
("Loomis, Fargo"). The Company accounts for its investment in Loomis, Fargo
under the equity method. The business combination impacts the comparison of the
Company's 1998 results to prior periods because the armored unit was included in
the Company's results of operations for 23 days in 1997.
On May 29, 1998, the Company sold its electronic security services business to
ADT Security Services, a subsidiary of Tyco International, Ltd., for
approximately $425 million plus the assumption of $6 million of debt by the
buyer. The Company also recorded a net after-tax gain of $42.5 million in the
second quarter.
On May 29, 1998, the Company sold its courier services unit. The Company
recorded a $15.9 million after-tax charge in the first quarter of 1998 to reduce
the Company's investment in this business and to provide for costs associated
with its disposition. The Company did not record a gain or loss as a result of
completing the sale of the unit.
On June 3, 1998, the Company irrevocably called for redemption its $150 million
principal amount of 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2003. The notes were
fully redeemed on July 3, 1998.
The Company entered into an agreement with Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc.
("Automotive") effective July 31, 1998 whereby the Company sold its rights to
the "Borg-Warner" name and mark in the security field for $3.6 million.
Automotive granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-free license to use the
"Borg-Warner" name and mark in the security field for a four-year period.
On August 10, 1998 the Company, the California Insurance Commissioner as trustee
of the Mission Insurance Companies Trust ("Mission Trust") and the Illinois
Director of Insurance as rehabilitator of Centaur Insurance Company agreed to
settle the pending lawsuit between the Mission Trust and the Company, subject to
court approval. As part of such settlement, the Company agreed to pay the
Mission Trust $4 million and one-third of any dividend or other distribution
that may be paid to the Company after rehabilitation of Centaur. The payments
will not have an affect on Company earnings. Separately, the Mission Trust and
Centaur agreed to an uncontested liquidated claim in the Centaur estate of $48
million, for which the Company is not liable. Additionally, the Illinois
Director of Insurance, on behalf of the Centaur estate, and the Company agreed
to exchange mutual releases of any remaining liability of the Company to the
Centaur estate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenues
Net service revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
increased 1.8% and 0.5%, respectively, from the comparable 1997 periods.
Excluding armored security service revenues, physical security service revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased 2.1% compared to 1997.
The net service revenues were as follows (in millions of dollars):

Armored security services -- -- -- 15.3
------ ------ ------ ------
Net service revenues $336.6 $330.5 $979.1 $974.0
====== ====== ====== ======
Costs and Expenses
Cost of services increased in line with revenues for the three and nine month
periods ending September 30, 1998 over the same periods in 1997. Gross margins
remained stable despite higher labor costs resulting from continued tight labor
markets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 increased 8.9% and 17.1%, respectively compared to 1997. The
three month increase reflected a $1.9 million pension curtailment gain recorded
in the third quarter of 1997 as well as implementation costs of the Total
Security Solutions program in 1998.
The nine month increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due
largely to the $1.9 million pension curtailment gain in 1997, $0.8 million in
1998 Total Security Solutions implementation costs, and a $14.4 million
provision recorded in the second quarter of 1998 comprised of the following:
. Severance and lease termination costs totaling $2.1 million resulting from
the reorganization of administrative operations subsequent to the sale of the
electronic security services business and the closure and consolidation of
certain offices;
. $5.5 million resulting from a review of the recoverability of certain
intangible assets;
. $2.3 million related to the final settlement of matters resulting from prior
dispositions; and
. $4.5 million related to certain other asset valuation allowances and
provisions.
Excluding the pension gain and the provision, selling, general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased
1.3% compared to the same period in 1997.
-14-
Included in other net expense are the results from the Company's share of the
Loomis, Fargo joint venture. The Company recorded no earnings or loss for its
share of Loomis, Fargo in the third quarter of 1998 and recorded a net loss of
$0.6 million for the same period of 1997. The Company's share of the loss for
the first nine months of 1998 was $0.5 million compared with net earnings of
$1.9 million for the same period of 1997 (which included an after-tax gain of
$2.2 million relating to the business combination).
Depreciation expense decreased 23.1% from $3.9 million to $3.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The
decrease is primarily due to the armored security services business operated in
the first quarter of 1997.
Net Interest Expense and Finance Charges
Net interest expense and finance charges for the three and nine months periods
ended September 30, 1998 decreased 8.1% and 7.1%, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 1997. The decreases reflect both lower debt and borrowing costs.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations
Year-to-date 1998 earnings from discontinued operations reflect a net $42.5
million after-tax gain on the sale of the Company's electronic security services
business. This amount is partially offset by a $15.9 million charge, net of tax,
to reduce the Company's investment in its courier services business and to
provide for costs associated with the disposition.
Extraordinary Item
The Company recorded a $6.3 million extraordinary charge, net of tax, in the
second quarter of 1998 for the call premium associated with early redemption of
$150 million principal amount of 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2003 and
the write-off of certain deferred financing fees.
Cash Flow
The Company generated cash flow from continuing operations of $23.5 million for
the first nine months of 1998 and $5.8 million for the first nine months of
1997. Capital expenditures totaled $4.4 million and $2.7 million for the first
nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Liquidity
Cash proceeds of approximately $425 million from the Company's sale of its
electronic security services business to ADT Security Services were used to
reduce debt and to invest in short-term cash equivalents. Total balance sheet
debt decreased to $126.3 million at September 30, 1998, from $338.7 million at
December 31, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $112.5 million at September
30, 1998, versus $8.0 million at December 31, 1997.
On March 24, 1997, the Company completed a refinancing pursuant to which it
issued $125 million principal amount 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2007
and replaced its existing term loan, revolving credit and letter of credit
facilities with a new revolving credit facility with up to $155 million letter
of credit availability subject to an overall limit on the aggregate amount
outstanding under both facilities of $285 million. This new credit facility was
amended and restated as of June 30, 1998, to accommodate effects of the sale of
the electronic security services business. Total commitments available under the
facility were reduced from $285 million to $225 million, with a sub-limit on
letters of credit outstanding of $125 million. There are no scheduled
commitment reductions prior to maturity
-18-
on March 31, 2002. At September 30, 1998, no amounts were owed under the
revolving credit facility and letters of credit totaling $93.2 million were
issued and outstanding.
The Company has an accounts receivable facility providing for the sale of a $120
million undivided interest in a revolving pool of customer receivables. Other
current assets at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 included interest
bearing cash deposits of $25.3 million and $17.6 million, respectively, which
were held in trust under the terms of the accounts receivable facility. These
deposits represent collections held back based on the amount of eligible
receivables in the revolving receivables pool. The facility matures in the
fourth quarter of 1998. The Company will replace it with a similar facility at
that time.
Year 2000
General
All computer programs and software applications were originally drafted to
accept any numerical two-digit entry as an acceptable means of input for date
fields. As a result, computer applications and software may recognize an input
of two zeros (00) as the improper year of 1900. This incorrect date recognition
could cause systems and software malfunctions that could have a material effect
on business operations.
Company's Readiness
To ensure minimal business interruption due to computer failure, the Company has
performed a review of various software and computer applications that were
likely to be affected by the Year 2000 problem. Both "IT systems" and "non-IT
systems" were reviewed. IT systems refer to all pre-packaged and internally
developed software applications and programs. Non-IT systems refer to various
business machines that have "embedded" computer language, examples of which are
computer integrated circuits ("chips") and telephone switches. The review was
completed by using current Company employees as well as various computer
consulting vendors.
The Company's response is being conducted in phases. First, all relevant
computer systems were assessed as to functionality and to determine Year 2000
compliance. Second, for those systems and software found to be non-compliant or
in need of upgrading, corrective steps are being, and will be taken, such as the
reprogramming or purchasing of system software. Finally, all systems and
software modifications will be tested and then implemented at all necessary
levels. The Company has substantially completed the corrective phase and is
transitioning into the testing and implementation phase.
Company Risks and Contingency Plans
The review tested systems crucial to the operations of the Company such as its
payroll and client billing and its logistical security guard scheduling systems.
Approximately 65% of the Company's systems are currently Year 2000 compliant.
Those systems identified as non-compliant or in need of replacement are being
upgraded or replaced. The Company expects these modifications to be completed in
all material aspects by year-end 1999.
In the worst case scenario, failure of the payroll, client billing or guard
scheduling systems could impact the efficient processing of payroll, billing for
services or the scheduling of security guards to their posts. Should this occur,
the Company has a contingent backup plan to make sure the security guards are
paid and customers are billed by utilizing an existing on-line system. The lack
of a computer scheduling system would be handled by the use of a manual backup
system.
The likely financial and non-financial impact of third party computer systems on
the Company has not been quantified, as the Company cannot predict other
businesses' Year 2000 efforts. However, no single customer or third party vendor
of the Company could likely generate a material adverse impact on Company
operations. The Company will continue to assess its exposure to any potential
risks.
Costs of Compliance
To date, the Company has incurred approximately $0.5 million in costs in
remediation of its Year 2000 problems, which includes computer consultant costs
and system modifications. Estimates of the remaining cost of compliance is
deemed by the Company not to be material. Independent of the Year 2000 issue,
the Company has had in process an upgrading or replacement of certain systems
and obsolete hardware to enhance their functionality.
The Company's Year 2000 analysis and disclosure contains "forward looking"
statements about matters that are inherently difficult to predict. Such
statements include statements regarding the intent, opinion and current
expectations of the Company and its management. Such "forward looking"
statements involve risks and uncertainties that may affect future developments,
such as, the inability to deal with a Year 2000 issue due to a problem arising
on the part of a third party or vendor. While the Company believes that it has
implemented methodologies to address the Year 2000 issue so that it should not
materially affect its financial position, future operating results or cash
flows, no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome.
As discussed more fully in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, various complaints seeking substantial dollar amounts have been
filed against the Company. The Company believes that it has established adequate
provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes that none of
these matters individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse
effect on its financial position or future operating results, although no
assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such
proceeding.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
-----------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997, there is a pending lawsuit against the Company for
recovery of alleged damages incurred as a result of the failure of its
discontinued property and casualty insurance subsidiary ("Centaur") to satisfy
its reinsurance obligations. On August 10, 1998 the Company, the California
Insurance Commissioner as trustee of the Mission Insurance Companies Trust
("Mission Trust") and the Illinois Director of Insurance as rehabilitator of
Centaur agreed to settle such lawsuit, subject to court approval. As part of
such settlement, the Company agreed to pay the Mission Trust $4 million and
one-third of any dividend or other distribution that may be paid to the Company
after rehabilitation of Centaur. The payments will not have an effect on Company
earnings. Separately, the Mission Trust and Centaur agreed to an uncontested
liquidated claim in the Centaur estate of $48 million, for which the Company is
not liable. Additionally, the Illinois Director of Insurance, on behalf of the
Centaur estate, and the Company agreed to exchange mutual releases of any
remaining liability of the Company to the Centaur estate.
As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997, the Company had requested that its former subsidiary,
Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. ("Automotive"), indemnify it against certain past
and future costs relating to environmental and financial liabilities associated
with certain former automotive operations. Automotive had contested its
indemnification obligation and the parties had submitted the matter to binding
arbitration. Separately, Automotive had filed suit against the Company and
certain current and former directors, officers and employees of the Company for
damages arising from the 1993 spin-off of Automotive to the Company's
stockholders. In May 1998, the Company and Automotive agreed to settle both the
arbitration and the lawsuit. As part of the settlement, the parties agreed to
dismiss the arbitration and litigation claims, and Automotive agreed to
indemnify the Company for all of the next $2.9 million in future costs relating
to the contested environmental and financing liabilities and 50% of the future
costs thereafter.
