PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

NAPCO Security Systems, Inc. ("NAPCO") was incorporated in December
1971 in the State of Delaware for the purpose of acquiring National Alarm
Products Co., Inc., a New Jersey corporation founded in 1969 ("National"). In
December 1971, NAPCO issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares of its common stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), to the stockholders of National in
exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of National, after
which National was merged into NAPCO.

NAPCO and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are engaged
in the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of security alarm
products and door security devices (the "Products") for commercial and
residential installations.

Products

Alarm Systems. Alarm systems usually consist of various detectors, a
control panel, a digital keypad and signaling equipment. When a break-in
occurs, an intrusion detector senses the intrusion and activates a control
panel via hard-wired or wireless transmission that sets off the signaling
equipment and, in most cases, causes a bell or siren to sound. Communication
equipment such as a digital communicator may be used to transmit the alarm
signal to a central station or another person selected by a customer.

The Company manufactures and markets the following products for alarm
systems:

Automatic Communicators. When a control panel is activated by a
signal from an intrusion detector, it activates a communicator that can
automatically dial one or more predesignated telephone numbers. If programmed
to do so, a digital communicator dials the telephone number of a central
monitoring station and communicates in computer language to a digital
communicator receiver, which prints out an alarm message.

Control Panels. A control panel is the "brain" of an alarm system.
When activated by any one of the various types of intrusion detectors, it can
activate an audible alarm and/or various types of communication devices. For
marketing purposes, the Company refers to its control panels by the trade name,
generally "Magnum AlertTM" followed by a numerical designation.

Combination Control Panels/Digital Communicators and Digitkey Systems.
A combination control panel, digital communicator and a digital keypad (a plate
with push button numbers as on a telephone, which eliminates the need for





2
3
mechanical keys) has continued to grow rapidly in terms of dealer and consumer
preference. Benefits of the combination format include the cost efficiency
resulting from a single micro-computer function, as well as the reliability and
ease of installation gained from the simplicity and sophistication of
microcomputer technology.

Door Security Devices. The Company manufactures a variety of exit
alarm locks ranging from simple dead bolt locks to door alarms.

Fire Alarm Control Panel. Multi-zone fire alarm control panels which
accommodate an optional digital communicator for reporting to a central station
are also manufactured by the Company.

Area Detectors. The Company's area detectors are both passive
infra-red heat detectors and combination microwave/ passive infra-red detectors
that are linked to alarm control panels. Passive infra-red heat detectors
respond to the change in heat patterns caused by an intruder moving within a
protected area. Combination units respond to both changes in heat patterns and
changes in microwave patterns occurring at the same time.

Peripheral Equipment

The Company also markets peripheral and related equipment manufactured
by other companies. Revenues from peripheral equipment have not been
significant.

Research and Development

The Company's business involves a high technology element. A
substantial amount of the Company's efforts are expended to develop and improve
the Products. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995, the
Company expended approximately $3,340,000, $3,296,000 and $3,252,000,
respectively, on Company-sponsored research and development activities
conducted by its engineering department and outside consultants. Substantially
all of the Company's research and development activities during fiscal 1997,
1996 and 1995 were conducted by its engineering department. The Company
intends to continue to conduct a significant portion of its future research and
development activities internally.

Employees

As of June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 1,000 full-time
employees.

Marketing and Major Customers

The Company's staff of approximately 32 sales and marketing support
employees located at the Company's headquarters sells and





3
4
markets the Products directly to independent distributors and wholesalers of
security alarm and security hardware equipment. Management estimates that
these channels of distribution represented approximately 80% of the Company's
total sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. The Company's sales
representatives periodically contact existing and potential customers to
introduce new products and create demand for those as well as other Company
products. These sales representatives, together with the Company's technical
personnel, provide training and other services to wholesalers and distributors
so that they can better service the needs of their customers. In addition to
direct sales efforts, the Company advertises in technical trade publications
and participates in trade shows in major United States cities. Some of the
Company's products are marketed under the "private label" of certain customers.

Sales to A.D.I., A.D.T., and KingAlarm, each unaffiliated with the
Company, together accounted for approximately 38% and 42% of the Company's total
sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 (see Note 9 to
Consolidated Financial Statements as to percentage breakdown). The loss of any
of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business. With respect to a customer that accounted for approximately 9% of the
Company's sales in fiscal year 1997, the Company anticipates that there will be
a significant reduction in the sales to such customer. However, the Company
does not believe that such reduction will have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Competition

The security alarm products industry is highly competitive. The
Company's primary competitors are comprised of approximately 30 other
companies that manufacture and market security equipment to distributors,
dealers, central stations and original equipment manufacturers. The Company
believes that no one of these competitors is dominant in the industry. Certain
of these companies may have substantially greater financial and other resources
than the Company.

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the features, quality,
reliability and price of, and the incorporation of the latest innovative and
technological advances into, its Products. The Company also competes by
offering technical support services to its customers. In addition, the Company
competes on the basis of its expertise, its proven products, reputation and its
ability to provide Products to customers without delay. The inability of the
Company to compete with respect to any one or more of the aforementioned factors
could have an adverse impact on the Company's business. Relatively low-priced
"do-it-yourself" alarm system products have become available in recent years and
are available to the public at retail stores. The Company believes that these
products compete with the Company only to a limited





4
5
extent because they appeal primarily to the "do-it-yourself" segment of the
market. Purchasers of such systems do not receive professional consultation,
installation, service or the sophistication that the Company's Products
provide.

Raw Materials and Backlog

The Company prepares specifications for component parts used in the
Products and purchases the components from outside sources or fabricates the
components itself. These components, if standard, are generally readily
available; if specially designed for the Company, there is usually more than one
alternative source of supply available to the Company on a competitive basis.
The Company generally maintains inventories of all critical components. The
Company for the most part is not dependent on any one source for its raw
materials.

In general, orders for the Products are processed by the Company from
inventory. A backlog of approximately $3,467,000 existed as of June 30, 1997.
This compared to a backlog of approximately $5,300,000 a year ago, which
included several large orders received during the fourth quarter a year ago.

Government Regulation

The Company's telephone dialers, microwave transmitting devices
utilized in its motion detectors and any new communication equipment that may
be introduced from time to time by the Company must comply with standards
promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in the United
States and similar agencies in other countries where the Company offers such
products, specifying permitted frequency bands of operation, permitted power
output and periods of operation, as well as compatibility with telephone lines.
Each new Product of the Company that is subject to such regulation must be
tested for compliance with FCC standards or the standards of such similar
governmental agencies. Test reports are submitted to the FCC or such similar
agencies for approval.

Patents

The Company has been granted several patents and trademarks relating
to the Products. While the Company obtains patents and trademarks as it deems
appropriate, the Company does not believe that its current or future success is
dependent on its patents.

Foreign Sales

The revenues and identifiable assets attributable to the foreign and
domestic operations of the Company for its last three fiscal years, and the
amount of export sales in the aggregate, are summarized in the following
tabulation.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Company has executive offices and production and warehousing
facilities at 333 Bayview Avenue, Amityville, New York. This facility consists
of a fully-utilized 90,000 square foot building on a six acre plot. This six
acre plot provides the Company with space for expansion of office,
manufacturing and storage capacities. The Company constructed this facility
with the proceeds from an industrial revenue bond financing in 1985.

The Company's foreign subsidiary, Napco/Alarm Lock Grupo
Internacional, S.A. (formerly known as NSS Caribe, S.A.), is located in the
Dominican Republic where it owns a building of approximately 167,000 square
feet of production and warehousing space. That subsidiary also leases the land
associated with this

(2) Export sales from the United States in fiscal year 1997 included
sales of approximately $6,046,000, $1,608,000, and $1,127,000 to Europe, North
America, and South America respectively. Export sales from the United States
in fiscal year 1996 included sales of approximately $4,744,000, $1,083,000,
and $451,000 to Europe, North America, and South America respectively.

building under a 99 year lease expiring in the year 2092. As of June 30, 1997,
most of the Company's sales related to labor on assemblies, goods and
subassemblies at these sites, utilizing U.S. quality control standards.

Management believes that these facilities are more than adequate to
meet the needs of the Company in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are no pending or threatened material legal proceedings to which
NAPCO or its subsidiaries or any of their property is subject, other than as
follows:

In May, 1995, the Company was advised of an unexpected Chapter 7
bankruptcy filing of one of its customers. As a result of anticipated cash
recoveries, management believes that the Company's allowance for doubtful
accounts at June 30, 1997 is sufficient and that this bankruptcy filing will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

In August 1995, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") informed the
Company that it is proposing adjustments of the Company's Federal tax returns
for fiscal years 1987 through 1992. The IRS has issued a report to the Company
proposing adjustments that would result in taxes due of approximately $4.3
million, excluding interest charges. The primary adjustments presented by the
IRS relate to intercompany pricing and royalty charges, DISC earnings and
charitable contributions. The Company disagrees with the IRS and intends to
vigorously appeal this assessment using all remedies and procedural actions
available under the law. In October 1996, the Company gave the IRS additional
information supporting its position. As a result, the Appeals Division of the
IRS advised the Company that the case had been returned to the Audit Division
for further consideration. Subsequently, the case has again been returned to
the Appeals Division of the IRS, with a meeting with such division scheduled
for early November, 1997. The Company believes that it has provided adequate
reserves at June 30, 1997 to address the ultimate resolution of this matter, so
that it will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements. (See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash on hand combined with proceeds from operating
activities during fiscal 1997 were adequate to meet the Company's capital
expenditure needs and short and long-term debt obligations. The primary source
of financing related to borrowings under a $16,000,000 secured revolving credit
facility. The Company expects that cash generated from operations and cash
available under the Company's bank line of credit will be adequate to meet its
short-term liquidity requirements. The Company's primary internal source of
liquidity is the cash flow generated from operations. As of June 30, 1997, the
Company's




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

(1) The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend on its
common stock. It is the policy of the Board of Directors to retain earnings
for use in the Company's business.

10
unused sources of funds consisted principally of $1,006,000 in cash and
approximately $4,037,000 which represents the unused portion of its secured
revolving credit facility.

In fiscal 1988, the Company completed construction of a new
manufacturing and administrative facility in Amityville, N.Y. financed by a $3.9
million industrial revenue bond issue bearing interest at a variable rate
determined weekly by the underwriting bank based upon market conditions. During
fiscal 1997, the average interest rate was approximately 3.28% per annum. The
bonds had a maturity date of April 1, 2000, subject to quarterly sinking fund
payments. Such bonds were retired in May 1997 as part of the Company's debt
refinancing with its new primary bank as discussed below.

On April 26, 1993, the Company's foreign subsidiary entered into a
99-year lease of approximately 4 acres of land near its former facility in
the Dominican Republic, at an annual cost of approximately $272,000.

On July 27, 1994, the Company entered into an $11,000,000 secured
revolving credit and term loan facility with two banks, with the Company's
primary bank acting as agent. The revolving credit loan, which provided for
interest based upon a number of options available to the Company and did not
require principal payments until conversion, converted to a term loan on June
30, 1997 payable in sixteen (16) equal quarterly installments beginning on
September 30, 1997.

On May 13, 1997, the Company refinanced the majority of its bank debt
with a new primary bank and entered into a $16,000,000 secured revolving credit
agreement, a $3,000,000 line of credit to be used in connection with commercial
and standby letters of credit, and replaced the $2,500,000 standby letter of
credit securing an earlier loan from another bank in connection with the
Company's international operations. These agreements replaced the $11,000,000
credit agreement described above. The Company restructured its debt to allow
for future growth and expansion as well as to obtain terms more favorable to the
Company. As part of the debt restructuring, the Company retired the outstanding
industrial revenue bonds relating to the financing of the construction of the
Company's Amityville, N.Y. facility. The revolving credit agreement will expire
in May, 2000 and any outstanding borrowings are to be repaid on or before that
time.

In addition, a subsidiary of the Company maintains a $4,500,000 line
of credit with another bank. The balance outstanding under the line as of
December 31, 1994 automatically converted to a term loan payable in 20 equal
quarterly installments commencing on that date. $2,250,000 was outstanding as
of June 30, 1997 (see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements).





10
11
The Company takes into consideration a number of factors in measuring
its liquidity, including the ratios set forth below:



1997 1996 1995
---- ---- ----

Current Ratio 3.5 to 1 3.2 to 1 3.5 to 1

Net Sales to Receivables 3.8 to 1 3.6 to 1 3.5 to 1

Total Debt to Equity .8 to 1 .9 to 1 1.0 to 1


As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no material commitments for
purchases or capital expenditures.

Working Capital. Working capital increased by $1,460,000 to
$30,136,000 at June 30, 1997 from $28,676,000 at June 30, 1996. This was
primarily due to the Company's restructuring of its debt as previously
discussed and improved cash flows as discussed below.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable increased by $178,000 to
$13,937,000 at June 30, 1997 from $13,759,000 at June 30, 1996. This increase
resulted primarily from an increase in sales in the second half of the fourth
quarter as compared to sales in the same period a year ago.

Inventory. Inventory decreased by $242,000 to $25,702,000 at June 30,
1997 as compared to $25,944,000 at June 30, 1996. This decrease is due
primarily to improvements in the Company's MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
system, the goal of which is to have shipments of raw materials as close as
possible to "just in time". This improvement, which resulted in a reduction
in inventory was partially offset by higher inventory levels necessary to
support the increased sales volume.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued
expenses decreased by $987,000 to $6,713,000 at June 30, 1997 from $7,700,000
at June 30, 1996. This decrease is primarily the result of improved inventory
management and stronger cash flows.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 1997 Compared to Fiscal 1996

Net Sales. Net Sales in fiscal 1997 increased approximately $4,214,000
or 8.6% to $53,302,000 from $49,088,000 in fiscal 1996. This increase was
primarily the result of increased export sales as well as the market's favorable
reception to the Company's new hybrid hard-wired/wireless products and new
digital locks that more than offset the decrease in sales of hard-wired only
products, decreased sales to one major customer, and continued price pressure in
the industry.





11
12
Gross Profit. The Company's gross profit increased $1,476,000 to
$12,778,000 or 24.0% of net sales in fiscal 1997 as compared to $11,302,000 or
23% of net sales in fiscal 1996. The increase in gross profit as a percentage
of net sales was primarily due to improvements in the Company's manufacturing
efficiency as well as efficiencies of scale resulting from the higher sales
volume mentioned above.

Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1997
increased 9% or $759,000 to $9,133,000 or 17.1% of net sales from $8,374,000 or
17.1% of net sales in fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily due to the
Company's additional marketing efforts relating to several new products
introduced during the year.

Other Expenses. Other Expenses in fiscal 1997 remained relatively
constant at $1,401,000 as compared to $1,399,000 in fiscal 1996.

Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $90,000 to
$605,000 or approximately 27% of income before provision for income taxes
during fiscal 1997. This compared to a provision of $515,000 or approximately
34% of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal 1996. The
decrease in the provision as a percentage of income before provision for income
taxes is primarily attributable to lower reserve requirements.

Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995

Net Sales. Net Sales in fiscal 1996 increased approximately $1,010,000
or 2.1% to $49,088,000 from $48,078,000 in fiscal 1995. This increase was
achieved despite a continued general price erosion in the marketplace.

Gross Profit. The Company's gross profit remained relatively flat at
$11,302,000 or 23% of net sales in fiscal 1996 as compared to $11,325,000 or
23.6% of net sales in fiscal 1995. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage
of net sales was primarily due to the aforementioned general price erosion in
the marketplace, as partially offset by improvements in the Company's
manufacturing efficiency.

Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996
decreased 6.9% or $620,000 to $8,374,000 or 17.1% of net sales from $8,994,000
or 18.7% of net sales in fiscal 1995. This decrease is primarily the result of
reduction in professional fees and bad debt expenses from those incurred in
fiscal 1995. In addition, further decreases in expenses were achieved as a
result of the continuation of general cost control procedures established by
management.

Other Expenses. Other Expenses in fiscal 1996 increased 8.7% or
$112,000 to $1,399,000 from $1,287,000 in fiscal 1995. This increase is
primarily the result of an unfavorable shift in





12
13
the UK Pounds Sterling exchange rates.

Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $17,000 to
$515,000 or approximately 34% of income before provision for income taxes
during fiscal 1996. This compared to a provision of $532,000 or approximately
51% of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal 1995. The higher
effective income tax rate in 1995 was primarily due to the recording of
additional income taxes related to DISC earnings that no longer qualify for tax
deferral.

Effects of Inflation

During the three-year period ended June 30, 1997, inflation and
changing prices did not have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Napco Security Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Napco Security
Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1997.
These consolidated financial statements and the schedules referred to below are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedules
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Napco Security Systems, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in the
index to consolidated financial statements are presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part
of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all
material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

NAPCO SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Napco Security Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is engaged
principally in the development, manufacture and distribution of security alarm
products and door security devices for commercial and residential use.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Napco Security
Systems, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent gains and losses at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out
method) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded
over the estimated service lives of the related assets using primarily the
straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or
lease term, whichever is shorter.

Goodwill

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 35 years. Subsequent
to its acquisition, the Company continually evaluates whether later events and
circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life
of the goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be
recoverable. When factors indicate that goodwill should be evaluated for
possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash
flows over the remaining life of the goodwill in measuring whether it is
recoverable. In the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, there were no
adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill.

Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the Company's products to its customers.

20


21


Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary differences between the amounts reflected for financial reporting
and tax purposes. The provision for income taxes represents U.S. Federal and
state taxes on income generated from U.S. operations. Income generated by the
Company's foreign subsidiary is non-taxable. The Company accounts for the
research and development credit as a reduction of income tax expense in the
year in which such credits are allowable for tax purposes.

In prior years, the Company did not provide for income taxes on the
undistributed earnings of its Domestic International Sales Corporation ("DISC")
subsidiary because it was the Company's intent to continue the subsidiary's
qualification for tax deferral. Due to the shifting of manufacturing outside
the U.S., management determined in fiscal 1995 that the DISC no longer
qualified for continued tax deferral. As a result, previously deferred earnings
of the DISC totalling $2,031,000 must now be reported as taxable income over a
ten-year period in the Company's future tax returns. The respective tax
liability was recorded in fiscal 1995.

The Company does not provide for income taxes on the undistributed earnings of
its foreign subsidiary because such earnings are reinvested abroad and it is
the intention of management that such earnings will continue to be reinvested
abroad. As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, approximately $18,328,000 and $17,206,000
in cumulative earnings of the foreign subsidiary are included in consolidated
retained earnings.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares and common stock equivalents (options) outstanding. Fully diluted
earnings per share does not materially differ from the earnings per share
presented in the consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation

During October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation". This statement establishes financial accounting and
reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123
encourages entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for stock
compensation costs under pre-existing accounting pronouncements. If the fair
value based method of accounting is not adopted, SFAS No. 123 requires pro
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123
are effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after
December 15, 1995, though they may be adopted on issuance. The disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995, or for an earlier fiscal year for
which SFAS No. 123 is initially adopted for recognizing compensation cost. The
Company has adopted this standard in fiscal 1997, and has elected to continue
the accounting set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25") and to provide the
necessary pro-forma disclosures (Note 6).

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

21


22


New Accounting Pronouncements

In March, 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". This
statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
("EPS"), replacing the presentation of currently required primary EPS with a
presentation of Basic EPS. For entities with complex capital structures, the
statement requires the dual presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on
the face of the statement of income. Under this new standard, Basic EPS is
computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential
dilution; Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution from the exercise or
conversion of securities into common stock or from other contracts to issue
common stock and is similar to the currently-required fully diluted EPS. SFAS
No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and earlier application is not
permitted. When adopted, the Company will be required to restate its EPS data
for all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect the impact of the
adoption of this statement to be material to previously reported EPS amounts.

4. INCOME TAXES:

In August 1995, the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") informed the Company
that it had completed the audit of the Company's Federal tax returns for fiscal
years 1987 through 1992. The IRS has issued a report to the Company proposing
adjustments that would result in taxes due of approximately $4.3 million,
excluding interest charges. The primary adjustments presented by the IRS relate
to intercompany pricing and royalty charges, DISC earnings and charitable
contributions. The Company disagrees with the IRS and intends to vigorously
appeal this assessment using all remedies and procedural actions available under
the law. The Company believes that it has provided an adequate reserve to
address the ultimate resolution of this matter, so that the resolution of this
matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 1997 and 1996
are as follows (in thousands):



Deferred Net Deferred

========== ======== ======== ======== ========= ========


As a result of the U.S. operations generating income in each of the three years
in the period ended June 30, 1997, management believes it is more likely than
not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets
existing at June 30, 1997 and 1996. Accordingly, the Company has not reflected
any valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at June 30, 1997 and
1996. Furthermore, management believes that the existing net deductible
temporary differences will reverse during periods in which the Company generates
net taxable income. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will
generate taxable earnings or any specific level of continuing earnings in the
future.

Provision for income taxes consists of the following:

(a) On May 13, 1997, the Company refinanced the majority of its bank
debt with a new primary bank and entered into a $16,000,000 secured
revolving credit agreement, a $3,000,000 line of credit to be used in
connection with commercial and standby letters of credit, and
replaced the $2,500,000 standby letter of credit securing an earlier
loan from another bank in connection with the Company's international
operations. The revolving credit agreement and the letters of credit
are secured by all the accounts receivable, inventory and certain
other assets of Napco Security Systems, Inc., a first and second
mortgage on the Company's headquarters in Amityville, New York as
well as common stock of two of the Company's subsidiaries. The
revolving credit agreement bears interest at either the bank's prime
rate (8.5% at June 30,1997) or an alternate rate based on LIBOR as
described in the agreement. These agreements replaced the $11,000,000
credit agreement described below. The Company restructured its debt
to allow for future growth and expansion as well as to obtain terms
more favorable to the Company. As part of the debt restructuring,
the Company retired the outstanding Industrial Revenue Bonds
relating to the financing of the

24


25


construction of the Company's Amityville, New York facility described
below. The revolving credit agreement will expire in May, 2000 and
any outstanding borrowings are to be repaid on or before that time.
The agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including,
among others, restrictions on payment of dividends, restrictions on
borrowings, restrictions on capital expenditures, the maintenance of
minimum amounts of tangible net worth, and compliance with other
certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. As of June 30,
1997, the Company was in compliance with all of these financial
covenants.

(b) On July 27, 1994, the Company entered into an $11,000,000 secured
revolving credit and term loan facility with two banks, with the
Company's primary bank acting as an agent. In conjunction with this
agreement, the banks received as collateral all accounts receivable
and inventory located in the United States. These facilities were
paid in full by the Company in fiscal 1997, in conjunction with the
refinancing described above.

(c) In November 1991, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a
$4,500,000 line of credit agreement with a bank in connection with
the Company's international operations. The line is secured by a
letter of credit from the Company's primary bank. Interest on
amounts outstanding under this line is payable quarterly at a rate
determined periodically based on a number of options available to
the Company. The balance outstanding under the line as of December
31, 1994 automatically converted to a term loan payable in 20 equal
quarterly installments commencing on that date. At June 30, 1997 and
1996, the amounts outstanding bore interest at rates of 5.94% and
5.73%, respectively.

Under the terms of the agreement, all advances under the line must
be used to pay for certain specified costs incurred by this
subsidiary. In addition, the terms of the agreement limit, among
other things, the amount of additional debt or liens that may be
incurred and prohibit the payment of dividends by this subsidiary.

In May 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with its primary
bank to replace a previous $2,500,000 standby letter of credit
agreement which expired in February 1997 with a new $2,500,000
standby letter of credit, as described above, for the purpose of
providing additional collateral for the line of credit agreement.

(d) In connection with the Company's refinancing of its bank debt in May
1997, the Company repaid the remaining portion of the $3,900,000 of
Industrial Revenue Bonds issued by the Town of Babylon (the "Town"),
which were used for the purchase of land and the construction of a
new office and manufacturing facility in Amityville, New York. Based
on the terms of the bond agreement, the Company purchased the
facilities for $1 at the date of the repayment of the bonds as title
to the land and building was held by the Town as security for the
bonds.

6. STOCK OPTIONS:

In November 1992, the stockholders approved a 10-year extension of the already
existing 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"). The 1992 Plan
authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an
aggregate of approximately 815,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be
acquired by the holders of such awards. Under the 1992 Plan, the Company may
grant stock options, which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options
("ISOs"), to key employees, officers, and employee directors. Any plan
participant who is granted ISOs and possesses more than 10% of the voting rights
of the Company's outstanding common stock must be granted an option with a price
at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the option must
be exercised within five years from the date of grant. Under the 1992 Plan,
stock options have been granted to employees and directors for terms of up to 5
years at an exercise price equal to the fair market on the date of grant and are
exercisable in whole or in part at 20% per year from the date of grant. At June
30, 1997, 46,750 stock options granted to employees and directors were
exercisable. The Company accounts for awards granted to employees, directors and
key employees under APB Opinion No. 25, under which compensation cost is
recognized for stock options granted at an exercise price less than the market
value of the options on the grant date. Had compensation cost for all stock
option grants in fiscal years 1997 and 1996 been determined consistent with SFAS
No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been:



1997 1996
---- ----

Net income: As Reported $1,639 $1,014
Pro Forma 1,629 1,005

Earnings per Share: As Reported .37 .23
Pro Forma .37 .23


The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not
indicative of future amounts. SFAS No. 123 does not apply to option awards
granted prior to fiscal year 1996, and additional awards in future years are
anticipated.

The following table reflects activity under the plan year ended:

Effective October 1990, the Company established a non-employee stock option
plan (the "1990 Plan") to encourage non-employee directors and consultants of
the Company to invest in the Company's stock. The 1990 Plan provides for the
granting of non-qualified stock options, the exercise of which would allow up
to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be acquired
by the holders of the stock options. The 1990 Plan provides that the option
price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the
date of grant. Options are exercisable at 20% per year and expire five years
after the date of grant. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123 to account for
stock-based compensation awards granted to non-employee directors and
consultants, under which a compensation cost is recognized for the fair value
of the options granted as of the date of grant. As of June 30, 1997, no shares
have been granted under this plan.

7. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS:

Research and development costs charged to cost of sales were approximately
$3,340,000, $3,296,000, $3,252,000 for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

8. 401(k) PLAN:

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan covering all employees with one or more
years of service. The plan is qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Company provides for matching contributions of 50%
of the first 2% of employee contributions. Company contributions to the plan
totaled approximately $47,000, $48,000 and $56,000 for the years ended June 30,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

9. BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS:

The Company is engaged in one major line of business - the development,
manufacture and distribution of security alarm products and door security
devices for commercial and residential use. Sales to unaffiliated customers are
primarily shipped from the United States. The Company's customers are primarily
located throughout the United States and Europe. Identifiable assets (net of
intercompany receivables and payables) relating to the Company's foreign
operations were approximately $16,002,000 and $24,235,000 at June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

Export sales amounted to $10,355,000, $7,994,000 and $7,646,000 for the years
ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. At June 30, 1997 and 1996,
the Company had three customers with accounts receivable balances that
aggregated 40% and 58% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively.
Revenues from the three largest customers are summarized as follows:



Percentage of Net Sales
----------------------------------------
For the Years Ended June 30,
----------------------------------------
1997 1996 1995
---- ---- ----

Customer 1 21% 21% 22%
Customer 2 8% 9% 6%
Customer 3 9% 12% 11%


The Company anticipates a significant decrease in sales to Customer 3 during
fiscal 1998. However, the Company does not believe that such decrease will
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
condition.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Leases

The Company is committed under various operating leases which do not extend
beyond fiscal 2001. Minimum lease payments through the expiration dates of

Land Lease

On April 26, 1993, the Company's foreign subsidiary entered into a 99 year
lease for approximately four acres of land in the Dominican Republic, at an
annual cost of approximately $272,000, on which the Company's main production
facility is located.

litigation. Management believes that the settlement of such claims and/or
litigation, considered in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
