Exhibit 99 CompuDyne Reports GAAP Earnings Per Share of $0.04 for 2006 Second Quarter - Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Excluding Stock Option Expense, Was $0.08 - Company's Recovery Continuing ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2006--CompuDyne Corporation (Nasdaq:CDCY), an industry leader in sophisticated security products, integration and technology for the public security markets, today reported net income of $0.04 per share for the second quarter of 2006, compared with a net loss of $0.33 per share reported in the second quarter of 2005. Revenues in the second quarter of 2006 were $38.4 million, up from $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. Expenses in the second quarter of 2006 included $323 thousand in non-cash stock option expense. Net income per share before this non-cash charge was $0.08. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $0.14 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.36 per share reported in the first six months of 2005. Revenues for the first six months of 2006 were $78.9 million, up from $67.4 million in first six months of 2005. Expenses in the first six months of 2006 included $578 thousand in non-cash stock option expense. Net income per share for the six months, before this non-cash charge, was $0.21. Institutional Security Systems ("ISS") revenue was $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. Pre-tax results improved from a $0.5 million loss in the second quarter of 2005 to a $0.4 million loss in the second quarter of 2006. ISS results continue to be negatively impacted by significant legal costs in pursuing claims and recoveries on completed projects. While backlog has declined at ISS, pre-bid activity is very strong and awards during the second half of 2006 are expected to be significantly higher than the first half. Attack Protection ("AP") revenue was $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2006, up 86.9% compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. Pre-tax income improved from a loss of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 to a pre-tax income of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. The Norshield brand business, which supplies bullet, blast and attack resistant windows and doors as well as vehicle barrier systems, benefited from increased backlogs as well as from significant progress made during 2005 in reducing costs and improving quality. The Fiber SenSys ("FSI") brand business, which is one of the world's largest suppliers of fiber optic based perimeter alarm systems, continued to be negatively impacted by delays in military tests of important new products. This process is now behind us and FSI is expected to have significantly improved results during the balance of the year as evidenced by a backlog of $2.2 million at the end of June 2006. Public Safety & Justice ("PS&J") revenues declined to $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. Pre-tax results for PS&J in the second quarter of 2006 were a loss of $0.5 million compared to pre-tax income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. While PS&J started the year with improved backlogs, they are still not at levels necessary for adequate profitability, although the pipeline of prospective new business is high. In addition, the decision was made in 2005 to significantly accelerate its research and development effort to migrate to a full Service Oriented Architecture and .NET based product suite, a commitment which is expected to negatively impact PS&J income in 2006 by $2.5 million but which should materially improve future revenues and margins. Integrated Electronic Systems ("IES") revenue was $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 and resulted in pre-tax income of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared with breakeven results for the second quarter of 2005. The re-bid of the Bureau of Engraving & Printing contract, occasioned by a protest filed by the previous incumbent, remains unresolved. In July CompuDyne purchased the assets of Signami LLC, a company which makes signals intelligence software and equipment which complements devices made by IES' Data Control Systems division. While this acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings, it will add materially to the Company's non-cash intangible amortization charges. In the second quarter of 2006, our corporate pre-tax loss totaled $0.5 million compared with a second quarter 2005 pre-tax loss of $1.7 million. Full year audit costs and costs related to compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley have been, and are expected to continue to be, considerably below 2005 levels. While backlogs declined during the second quarter of 2006, by $16.9 million to $111.5 million, quoting and bidding activity levels continue to be much higher than in recent years.

Investors are cautioned that the non-GAAP financial measures are not to be construed as an alternative to GAAP. The Company's management uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for non-cash stock option expense (EBITDAS), in its internal analysis of results of operations and monitors EBITDAS to evaluate the Company's compliance with certain of its bank covenants. The Company's management also uses Income (Loss) Before Non-Cash Stock Option Expense to allow it to compare its results of operations between years. Management believes that EBITDAS and Income (Loss) Before Non-Cash Stock Option Expense is useful to investors as a meaningful comparison between periods and as an analysis of the critical components of the Company's results of operations. Management also believes that EBITDAS is useful to investors because it allows them to evaluate the Company's compliance with certain of its bank covenants. Management believes that net income per share excluding stock option expense is helpful to investors who are trying to compare current results with prior periods.
