Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Results of Operations
First Six Months 2004 Versus First Six Months 2003

Overall Results and Outlook
- ---------------------------

2004 results declined compared to 2003, primarily due to increased steel and
aluminum prices, and secondarily, due to price reductions extended to the United
States Postal Service (USPS) and continued weakness in certain areas of the
economy in which the Company sells its products (including entertainment and
leisure activity facilities). Despite the increased sales volume, net income
decreased by $102,000 in 2004 versus 2003 as a result of the declining gross
margin, higher selling, administrative and general expenses and a decrease in
service maintenance contract revenue. Earnings per share on a diluted basis
decreased to $0.56 in 2004 versus $0.63 in 2003, as a result of the decreased
net income.

In April 2004, the Company's contracts with the USPS were extended for a six
month term expiring on October 15, 2004. We have been advised by the USPS that
it will, as in past years, seek bids with respect to these contracts and that
the Company has been pre-qualified to bid. The USPS has also advised the Company
that our current competitor (which has an existing USPS contract for aluminum
CBUs) has been pre-qualified to bid along with three new potential competitors.
The USPS has also indicated that it will upgrade the specification that CBUs are
designed to meet to increase resistance to mail theft. The Company has reviewed
drafts of the new specification and has initiated design efforts to address the
increased security requirements. If the USPS does issue a new specification, the
Company will incur increased capital expenditures to modify or replace existing
tooling. We can not predict the amount or timing of these expenditures until the
specification is finalized and our design solution is built and tested. We
anticipate the contracting process will be completed by October 15, 2004 but can
not predict the outcome. The Company believes that its product line provides the
best value to the USPS when all factors including price, quality of design and
construction, long-term durability and service are considered. The current
contracts cover all four types of plastic CBUs, aluminum CBUs and the Outdoor
Parcel Locker (OPL). As previously disclosed, total CBU demand is influenced by
a number of factors over which the Company has no control, including but not
limited to: USPS budgets, policies and financial performance, domestic new
housing starts, postal rate increases, postal purchasing practices and the
weather, as these units are installed outdoors. The Company believes its CBU
product line, including its aluminum CBUs represent the best value when all
factors including price, quality of design and construction, long-term
durability and service are considered.

In July, 2004 the Company received large, bulk orders for plastic and aluminum
CBUs from several USPS districts. These orders are primarily in addition to the
normal order flow we would have expected in the third quarter and may not be
indicative of future USPS order patterns. The orders are all shippable prior to
August 30, 2004 and the Company has accelerated production in order to meet the
required schedule. Therefore, third quarter 2004 sales are expected to be
considerably higher than the same period in 2003.


9




Net Sales
- ---------
Sales for the first six months of 2004 of $19,808,000 increased $1,145,000 or 6%
compared to sales of $18,663,000 during the same period in 2003. Plastic locker
sales to the USPS and developers or distributors for use in the delivery of U.S.
mail totaled $9,843,000 in 2004 compared to $10,065,000 during 2003. Plastic
CBUs sales were $9,569,000 in 2004 compared to $9,702,000 during 2003. Sales of
Outdoor Parcel Lockers (OPLs) were $274,000 in 2004 compared to $363,000 in
2003, as a result of lower purchase levels by the USPS. The decrease in sales of
Plastic CBUs from 2003 to 2004 is the result of decreased purchases from the
USPS, as well as price reductions, ranging from zero to 2% depending on the CBU
or OPL type, which became effective in April 2003. The price reductions had an
impact of reducing sales by approximately $43,000 in the first six months of
2004 versus the comparable period in 2003.

Sales of metal, coin and key-only and electronically controlled lockers, and
aluminum CBUs were $9,965,000 for the first six months of 2004 and $8,598,000
for the first six months of 2003. This $1,367,000 increase consists of
additional sales of $1,841,000 made by the Company's subsidiary, Security
Manufacturing Corporation (SMC), offset by decreases in sales of other locker
products, as well as the termination of the Company's luggage cart services at
the Detroit International Airport in January 2004. The Company no longer
provides any luggage cart rental services.

Cost of Sales
- -------------
Consolidated cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 70.8% in 2004 versus
69.7% in 2003. The increased percentage is primarily due to increases in
aluminum and steel material costs experienced during the first six months of
2004 that have not been passed through to customers in the form of price
increases.


Selling, Administrative and General Expenses
- --------------------------------------------

Selling, administrative and general expenses were $4,222,000 during the first
six months of 2004, an increase of $302,000 from $3,920,000 during the first six
months of 2003. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $187,000 in
engineering costs in 2004 compared to 2003 amounts, relating to product
development, as well as $114,000 incurred in June 2004 relating to an early
retirement program covering three employees that elected to retire. Annual
savings going forward from these retirements are projected to exceed $200,000.
Also, certain selling expenses increased in 2004 due to increased sales. 2003
expenses were impacted by a charge of $65,000 for a severance agreement relating
to a terminated management employee at SMC. Selling, administrative and general
expenses were 21% of sales for the first six months of 2004 and 2003.

Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for 2004 was $229,000 compared to $290,000 for 2003. The
decrease resulted from lower outstanding debt during 2004 compared to 2003 as
the Company continues to make scheduled debt payments on its outstanding debt.
No new long term debt was incurred during 2004 or 2003. The Company reduced its
outstanding debt by $1,675,000 from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004.


10



Other Income - net
- ------------------
Other income - net consists primarily of cash discounts earned, which were
$60,000 in 2004 versus $55,000 in 2003, and service maintenance revenues, which
were $32,000 in 2004 and $69,000 in 2003. The decline in service maintenance
revenue is the result of fewer ongoing maintenance agreements.

Income Taxes
- ------------
Income taxes decreased in 2004 versus 2003 due to the decreased income before
income taxes. The effective tax rate was 39% in 2004 and 2003.

Second Quarter 2004 Versus Second Quarter 2003

Second quarter sales were $10,254,000 in 2004, an increase of $423,000 from the
same period in 2003. The increase was primarily related to increases in sales of
other locker products which includes aluminum CBUs by the SMC subsidiary.
Plastic locker sales were $5,346,000 and $5,584,000 in 2004 and 2003,
respectively, a decline of $238,000. The decline is the result of the factors
discussed above.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was 72.4% during the second
quarter of 2004, compared to 70.3% during the second quarter of 2003. The
deterioration in 2004 is primarily due to rising material costs and secondarily
to product mix.

Selling, administrative and general expenses were 21.6% of net sales during the
second quarter of 2004 compared to 19.9% in the second quarter of 2003. The
increased percentage is due to the $114,000 incurred in June 2004 relating to
the early retirement program.

Other income - net decreased $33,000 during the first six months of 2004
compared to 2003. This caption consists primarily of cash discounts earned and
service maintenance contracts.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2004 of $114,000 decreased from
$142,000 in 2003 as a result of the reduction in outstanding debt.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The Company's liquidity is reflected in the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities or current ratio and its working capital. The current ratio was 3.4
to 1 at June 30, 2004 and 3.1 to 1 at December 31, 2003. Working capital, the
excess of current assets over current liabilities, was $10,470,000 at March 31,
2004, an increase of $617,000 over $9,853,000 at December 31, 2003.

Cash provided by operating activities was $534,000 during the first six months
of 2004 compared to $832,000 of cash provided by operating activities in 2003.
This decrease of cash in 2004 relates primarily to replacing and increasing
inventory of plastic and aluminum CBUs that were below normal levels at December
31, 2003 in preparation for historically higher shipments as the weather
improves in most of the United States. Anticipating that USPS order patterns and
sales to other customers will be similar to previous years, the Company expects
that cash will continue to be generated by operations for the balance of 2004.


11



The Company's policy is to maintain modern equipment and adequate capacity.
During the first six months of 2004, the Company expended $134,000 for capital
additions. Currently, there are no significant capital projects forecasted by
the Company. It is expected that capital expenditures will be funded from cash
on hand or cash generated from operations in 2004.

The Company anticipates that cash on hand and cash generated from operations in
2004 will be adequate to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and
debt payments. However, if necessary, the Company has a $3,000,000 revolving
bank line of credit available to assist in satisfying future operating cash
needs, no amount is outstanding under the line of credit at June 30, 2004.

Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting standards that the Company believes will
have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004. There were no material
changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the
second quarter of 2004.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As previously reported, in December 1998, the Company was named as a defendant
in a lawsuit titled Roberta Raiport, et al. v. Gowanda Electronics Corp. And
American Locker Group, Inc. pending in the State of New York Supreme Court,
County of Cattaraugus. The suit involves property located in Gowanda, New York,
which was sold by the Company to Gowanda Electronics Corp. prior to 1980. The
plaintiffs, current or former property owners in Gowanda, New York, assert that
defendants each operated machine shops at the site during their respective
periods of ownership and that as a result of such operation, soil and
groundwater contamination occurred which has adversely affected the plaintiffs
and the value of plaintiffs' properties. The plaintiffs assert a number of
causes of action and seek compensatory damages of $5,000,000 related to alleged
diminution of property values, $3,000,000 for economic losses and "disruption to
plaintiffs' lives," $10,000,000 for "nuisance, inconveniences and disruption to
plaintiffs' lives," $25,000,000 in punitive damages, and $15,000,000 to
establish a "trust account" for monitoring indoor air quality and other
remedies." In June 2003, Gowanda Electronics Corp. filed a motion for summary
judgment seeking to be dismissed from the suit. On June 28, 2004 the court
denied Gowanda Electronics motion seeking dismissal from the suit. The Court
also ruled that American Locker Group, Inc. assumed the liabilities of the
property's prior owner, Knowles-Fisher, based on New York State's "defacto
merger doctrine." However, these liabilities, if any, have not been judicially
determined and are subject to additional litigation. Based upon currently
available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to
the resolution of this matter. Defense of this case has been assumed by the
Company's insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights, and to date the
Company has not experienced any material cost associated with this matter.
