                                     PART I
                                        
Item 1.   Business

     The Company is North America's largest supplier of contract guard and
related security services.  As a result of its significant market presence,
breadth of product offerings and strategic alliances, the Company is well
positioned to service local, multi-location and national accounts and provide
total security solutions to its customers.

     The Company provides guard services, as well as background screening,
contract employment and investigative services, to approximately 14,000 clients
in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Colombia.  The Company
services these clients with approximately 73,000 employees in approximately 300
offices under the Wells Fargo, Burns, Globe and other service marks.

     The Company supplies contract uniformed and plainclothes security officers,
who may or may not be armed, to perform a wide variety of tasks. These security
officers patrol and monitor commercial, financial, industrial, residential and
governmental facilities providing deterrence against crime and breach of
governmental security regulations and detection of fire, accidents and other
casualties. The security officers also monitor electronic systems and control
public and employee access to facilities. Specialized assignments include
nuclear and conventional electric power plant security, pre-departure screening
of passengers and luggage at airports, access control at health care and
educational facilities, background screening, investigative services and
contract staffing services.

     The Company employs approximately 67,500 security officers. Security
officers undergo a standardized pre-employment screening program that features
mandatory drug screening, criminal record checks at the county and municipal
court level and verification of consumer credit reports, social security
information and drivers' license records. Security officers receive classroom
orientation and field training in safety, first aid and security techniques and
in the handling of specific problems applicable to particular industries or
situations.

     The Company markets guard services through approximately 150 sales
representatives nationwide and in Canada, the United Kingdom and Colombia. Sales
personnel operate out of local branch and sales offices. The Company also bids
on contracts with governmental agencies.

     Physical security service contracts generally provide for such services on
a continuing basis and generally are terminable by either party upon 30 to 60
days notice.  Charges for services are negotiated with customers and are based
upon payment of a specified amount per service hour.  Typically, such charges
are adjusted for any change in any law, ruling or collective bargaining
agreement causing a change in work hours, wage rates, working conditions or
other costs.  Investigative services are generally provided under specific
arrangements, with charges varying according to the nature of the assignment.

                                       3

 
     Information concerning the revenues and identifiable assets of the Company
is incorporated herein by reference to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Electronic Security Services

     On May 29, 1998, the Company sold its electronic security services
business, Wells Fargo Alarm Services ("Alarm"), to ADT Security Services, a
subsidiary of Tyco International, Ltd. ("ADT") 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 for the transaction in
the second quarter. As a result of the sale, the division's results have been
restated and reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

     Through Alarm, the Company provided integrated electronic security systems,
including intrusion and fire detection, sprinkler and critical industrial
process monitoring, closed circuit television and access control. Alarm
designed, installed, monitored and serviced electronic security systems located
on the premises of commercial and residential customers in the United States and
Canada under the Wells Fargo and Pony Express service marks. Alarm also
provided, under the Bel-Air Patrol trade name, an integrated guard, patrol and
alarm service to customers in Bel Air, Beverly Hills and other Los Angeles
communities. The unit had approximately 2,200 employees.

     The Company and ADT entered into a strategic alliance agreement for the
furnishing of electronic and physical security services to their respective
clients.

Loomis, Fargo & Co.

     In January 1997, the Company's armored transport unit contributed
substantially all of its assets and assigned certain of its liabilities to
Loomis, Fargo & Co. ("Loomis Fargo"), a newly established corporation, in
exchange for 49% of Loomis Fargo's outstanding common stock and a cash payment
of approximately $105 million (net of transaction costs, but subject to certain
adjustments).

     The Company agreed to indemnify Loomis Fargo for environmental liabilities
associated with existing underground storage tanks and other known and
identified environmental liabilities.  Such indemnification obligation continued
until December 31, 1998.  Refer to the discussion of environmental proceedings
on page 9.  The Company also agreed to indemnify Loomis Fargo against certain
other claims, including claims relating to cargo losses and taxes.

     The Company and the former Loomis shareholders entered into a stockholders
agreement providing that Loomis Fargo's board of directors initially will
consist of seven directors: three directors nominated by the Company; three
directors nominated by the former Loomis shareholders; and the Loomis Fargo
chief executive officer.  The number of directors that may be designated
pursuant to the stockholder agreement may be adjusted if either the Company or
the former Loomis shareholders reduce their ownership stake in Loomis Fargo.
The stockholder agreement provides that the vote of five of the seven directors
is required for Loomis Fargo to engage in certain specified activities.

                                       4

 
     In addition, the stockholder agreement prohibits the transfer of Loomis
Fargo common stock by either party for three years following the closing without
the prior consent of the other party. After such period Loomis Fargo common
stock may be transferred only in accordance with the provisions of the
stockholder agreement, which include rights of first refusal and co-sale rights.
The current stockholders also have certain preemptive and registration rights
with respect to equity issuances by Loomis Fargo.

     Loomis Fargo operates in all 50 states and Puerto Rico to provide armored
ground transportation services, ATM services and cash vault and related services
to financial institutions and commercial customers.

Employees

     The Company's business is labor intensive and, accordingly, is affected by
the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor.  Although the
protective services industry is characterized generally by high turnover, the
Company believes its experience compares favorably with that of the industry.
The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in employing suitable
numbers of qualified security guards and other employees.  The Company considers
its relations with its employees to be generally satisfactory.

     The Company is a party to collective bargaining agreements with various
local unions covering approximately 6,100 employees. The collective bargaining
agreements expire at various dates from 1999 to 2001 and relate, among other
things, to wages, hours and conditions of employment. Under section 9(b)(3) of
the National Labor Relations Act, if a union admits to membership, or is
affiliated directly or indirectly with a union that admits to membership of
employees other than guards, an employer of guards can refuse to bargain with
such union and such union cannot be certified as the representative of a unit of
guards. As a result, the Company has in many instances refused to recognize or
withdrawn recognition of labor organizations that admit as members employees
other than guards.

Competition

     The Company competes with major national and international firms and
numerous smaller regional and local companies providing similar services.
Competition in the security guard industry is based on price in relation to the
quality of service, the scope of services performed, the extent and quality of
guard supervision, recruiting and training and name recognition.

Regulation

     Due to the nature of the Company's business, its operations are subject to
a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws, regulations and
licensing requirements. In addition, many states have laws requiring training
and registration of security officers, regulating the use of badges,
identification cards and uniforms and imposing minimum bond surety and insurance
requirements. The Company believes that its operations are in substantial
compliance with those laws, regulations and requirements. Federal legislation
has been introduced relating to security


                                       5

 
officer qualification and training. Similar legislation is pending in several
states. The Company generally supports the creation of standards for the
industry and does not expect that the establishment of such standards will have
a material affect on its physical security services operations.

     From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is
subjected to penalties or fines as the result of licensing irregularities or the
misconduct of one or more of its agents or employees. In addition, under
principles of common law, the Company can generally be held liable for acts or
omissions of its agents or employees performed in the course and scope of their
employment. In addition, some states have statutes that expressly impose on the
Company legal responsibility for the conduct of its employees.

Risk Management

     The nature of the services provided by the Company potentially exposes it
to greater risks of liability for employee acts, injuries (including workers'
compensation claims) or omissions than may be posed by other service businesses.

     The Company generally obtains customer indemnification or liability
limitations in its contracts to mitigate this risk exposure. The Company carries
insurance of various types, including workers' compensation, automobile and
general liability coverage. These policies include deductibles per occurrence
for which the Company is self-insured. The Company obtains its insurance at
rates and upon terms negotiated periodically with various underwriters. The loss
experience of the Company and, to some extent, other protective services
companies affects premium rates charged to the Company. The Company does not
believe that limitations on, or the uncertainty of, insurance coverage for
punitive damages in certain states in which it operates is likely to be
material, based upon the Company's prior experience with punitive damages
claims. The Company also attempts to manage its risk liability through analysis
of customer facilities, customer profiles and employee screening, training,
supervision and evaluation.

Discontinued Operations

     On May 29, 1998, the Company sold its courier services business, Pony
Express Delivery Services, Inc. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company
recorded a $15.9 million after-tax charge 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.

     Since September 1996, the Company had treated its courier services unit as
a discontinued operation. The unit transported time-sensitive packages for
commercial businesses and non-negotiable financial documents for Federal Reserve
banks and financial institutions in 36 states under the Pony Express(R) service
mark. The unit employed approximately 3,600 persons and used a fleet of
approximately 3,000 vehicles, many of which were vehicles provided by the unit's
employees. The courier services unit operated both as a common and contract
carrier and used a combination of tariffs and shipping contracts to control the
terms, conditions and rates applicable to the transportation of shipments. Rates
were dependent upon many factors, including the weight

                                       6

 
and type of the shipped item, the distance and urgency of the shipment and the
geographical location.

     As previously mentioned, the May 29, 1998 sale of Alarm caused the
Company's results to be restated and for Alarm to be reflected as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented.

Trademarks and Patents

     The Company maintains several service marks of importance to the Company's
business. The Company believes that its rights in these marks are adequately
protected and of unlimited duration. While the Company has patents it considers
to be important to the overall conduct of its business, it does not consider any
particular patent, or group of related patents, essential to its operations. For
both the United States and foreign patents, their expiration, individually or in
the aggregate, is not expected to have any material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

     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. 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.

Operating Officer of United Airlines from April 1995 to September

                                       7

 
1998. Mr. Edwardson was also Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial
Officer of Ameritech Corp. from March 1991 to July 1994. Mr. Edwardson is a

     Mr. O'Brien has been Senior Vice President of the Company since 1993 and

     Each of the executive officers named above was elected by the Board of
Directors to serve in the office indicated until his successor is elected and
qualified.

Item 2.   Properties

     The Company and its subsidiaries maintain general offices in various cities
in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Colombia. At December 31,
1998, the Company occupied approximately 300 branch and satellite offices, all
but one of which were leased. The Company leases approximately 57,000 square
feet of office space in Chicago, Illinois for its executive offices. However, it
currently subleases 23,000 square feet of such office space to third parties.
The Company believes that its properties are in good condition and are adequate
to meet its current and reasonably anticipated needs.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

     The Company is presently, and is from time to time, subject to claims and
suits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such
actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by
insurance. In addition, the Company has been subject to claims and suits
relating to certain discontinued operations. The most important of these legal
proceedings are discussed below. The Company believes that the various asserted
claims and litigation in which it is currently involved will not materially
affect its financial position or future operating results, although no assurance
can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome for any such claim or
litigation. The Company believes that it has established adequate provisions for
litigation liabilities in its financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These provisions include both legal fees and
possible outcomes of legal proceedings (including the environmental matters
discussed below).

                                       8

 
     Centaur Litigation

     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 remaining reinsurance
contracts.

     On August 10, 1998 the Mission Trust and the Company agreed to settle the
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 a 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. Any future
payments by the Company 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 parties have finalized and
executed the settlement and release agreements. The required court approvals of
the settlement are being sought by the parties with final approval and dismissal
of the lawsuit anticipated by the end of the first half of 1999.

     Environmental Proceedings

     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 a number
of 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. In addition, the Company has or may have liability for
environmental matters at properties it presently or previously owned or leased.
Based on currently available information, the Company believes that none of
these matters individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse
affect 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, 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 its
financial statements in the aggregate amount of approximately $5 million
(relating to environmental matters with respect to discontinued operations of
the
