Item 4.          PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     As recently disclosed by the Issuer in an open letter to shareholders and in previous press releases, the Issuer has completed the sale of its closed circuit television business to Honeywell International, Inc., changed its name to American Building Control, Inc., accepted resignations from four of its directors (including that of former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Niklaus Zenger), and appointed four new directors.  In light of these changes, the Issuer also noted in its letter to shareholders that the Issuer now "enjoys the full support of [its] major investors."

     The Reporting Persons are pleased to confirm that they now fully support the Issuer in its efforts to return to profitability and grow its remaining businesses.  Like the Issuer, the Reporting Persons fully believe that the Issuer is well positioned to participate in the global electronic security market.

     The Issuer's letter to shareholders also states that the Issuer is working on a new five-year strategic plan to present to its Board of Directors.  The Reporting Persons believe that this effort will ultimately determine the future success of the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons consequently urge the Board of Directors to consider all available options and alternatives with the utmost care.

     The Reporting Persons otherwise acquired and continue to hold the shares reported herein for investment purposes.  Depending on market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their respective investment decisions, the Reporting Persons may purchase additional shares in the open market or in private transactions.  Depending on these same factors, the Reporting Persons may sell all or a portion of the shares on the open market or in private transactions.

     Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act.

Item 5.          INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)

Reporting Persons

VESF

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VESF beneficially owns 2,526,981 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 17.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  The total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by VESF is comprised of the 2,120,000 shares of Common Stock and the 406,981 shares of Common Stock into which VESF's 195,351 shares of Preferred Stock are convertible at the rate of 2.08333 shares of Common Stock per each share of Preferred Stock.  Although the conversion rate specified in the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation is 2.083 (which would result in VESF's owning 406,916 shares of Common Stock on an as converted basis), the Certificate also specifies a liquidation value of $5.00 and a conversion price of $2.40 (which is equivalent to a conversion rate of 2.08333, which, in turn, would result in VESF's owning 406,981 shares of Common Stock on an as converted basis); the Issuer, however, takes the position that 2.08333 is the conversion rate. VESF's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it by 14,453,569, which represents the 406,981 shares of Common Stock into which VESF's 195,351 shares of Preferred Stock are convertible at the rate of 2.08333 shares of Common Stock per each share of Preferred Stock and the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Issuer's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2002 (the "Definitive Proxy Statement").

Broady

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Broady beneficially owns 1,864,718 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 12.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  Broady's 1,864,718 shares include (i) 1,189,718 shares held by Broady individually and (ii) 200,000 shares that Broady has the right to acquire upon exercise of outstanding Issuer warrants.  Broady's 1,864,718 shares of Common Stock also include 475,000 shares issuable upon exercise of Issuer stock options. Although the forementioned options expired on January 30, 2003, Broady sent a notice of exercise covering all of such options to the Issuer prior to January 30, 2003. The option price, however, has not yet been paid and, consequently, the shares have not been issued. Broady's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him by 14,721,588, which represents the 475,000 shares of Common Stock that Broady has the right to acq uire through the exercise of Issuer stock options, 200,000 shares of Common Stock that Broady has the right to acquire upon exercise of outstanding Issuer warrants, and the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

V. Campbell

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, V. Campbell beneficially owns 215,890 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 1.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  V. Campbell's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him by the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

T. Campbell

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, T. Campbell beneficially owns 267,000 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 1.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  T. Campbell's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him by the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

G. V. Broady

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, G. V. Broady beneficially owns 78,596 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.6% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  G. V. Broady's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him by the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

L. Kinney

In her capacity as a controlling person of each of Cantrell Partners and the Trust and because of her individual ownership of 42,885 shares of the Common Stock, L. Kinney may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of  302,687 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  L. Kinney's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by her by the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

Cantrell Partners

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Cantrell Partners beneficially owns 155,000 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 1.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  Cantrell Partners' percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it by the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

The Trust

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, the Trust beneficially owns 104,802 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.  The Trust's percentage of beneficial ownership was arrived at by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it by the 14,046,588 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

Controlling Persons

In their capacities as controlling persons of VESF, each of (i) Conti, (ii) Marmont, and (iii) Rumball, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,526,981 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 17.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

The Bank, as the majority equity owner of VESF, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,526,981 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 17.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

In their capacities as controlling persons of the Bank, each of the Bank Controlling Persons may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,526,981 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 17.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

In her capacity as a controlling person of each of Cantrell Partners and the Trust and because of her individual ownership of 42,885 shares of the Common Stock, L. Kinney, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 302,687 shares of the Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
