Definitive Information Statement

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

Notice is hereby given that on February 10, 2006 pursuant to Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, we received the written consent, in lieu of a meeting, of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting stock entitled to vote at a meeting of our shareholders:

On February 10, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors with respect to the private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 of notes, along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock subject to certain caps based upon the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The issuance of the notes and the warrants was completed as an initial step to the private placement of the Series A convertible preferred stock, which we anticipate issuing to the same accredited investors in exchange for the notes. The notes and warrants were issued to allow us to complete our acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. in a timely manner and avoid certain payments which would have been due to Guardian as a result of our failure to do so, including forfeiture of a $3 million deposit. We anticipate that the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock in exchange for notes bearing an aggregate principal amount equal to $45,000,000 and for no additional consideration. Accordingly, each share of our Series A convertible preferred stock will have a liquidation preference equal to $1,000. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. The sale of the notes and the common stock warrants and the closing of the Guardian acquisition occurred on March 6, 2006. The sale of the shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock is expected to take place on or before October 20, 2006.

Our Board of Directors approved the actions listed above on January 30, 2006 and recommended that the Articles of Incorporation be amended to reflect the above actions. The proposed Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Florida Secretary of State and will be effective when filed. The anticipated filing date will be approximately 20 days from the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders.

If the actions listed above were not adopted by the written consent of a majority of shareholders, it would have been necessary for the actions listed above to be considered by our shareholders at a special shareholders meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the actions. We have elected not to call a special meeting of our shareholders in order to eliminate the costs of and time involved in holding a special meeting. Also, to complete the Guardian transaction in a timely manner and avoid forfeiture of the $3 million deposit we issued the notes and warrants and elected not to call a special meeting of our shareholders. Our management has concluded that it is in our best interests to address this matter in the manner stated herein. The elimination of the need for a special meeting of the shareholders to approve the actions is authorized by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the Florida Act, provided that notice of such action is given to our other shareholders within ten (10) days after the effectiveness of the approval of our shareholders. Section 607.0704 provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding stock of each voting group entitled to vote having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups and shares entitled to vote were present and voted, may be substituted for the special meeting. According to Section 607.1003 of the Florida Act, a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote on the matter is required in order to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. In a special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to utilize the written consent of a majority of our shareholders to approve the actions listed above. No other votes were required or necessary to adopt this amendment, and none are being solicited hereunder.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, an information statement must be sent to the holders of voting capital stock who did not sign a written consent at least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of the actions listed above. This notice, which is being sent to all holders of record as of January 30, 2006, the record date, is intended to serve as the requisite notice under the Florida Act, including the notice required by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Act, and as the information statement required under the Exchange Act.

The date of this information statement is September 18, 2006. The date on which this information statement will first be transmitted to our shareholders is on, or about September 20, 2006.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

On January 30, 2006, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to create and establish a new class of preferred stock in connection with a private placement of up to an aggregate of 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock along with warrants to acquire shares of our common stock. A copy of the form of amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and form of common stock warrant are included in this information statement as Annexes A and B, respectively. Our Board of Directors authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 45,000 will be designated Series A convertible preferred stock. The Series A convertible preferred stock will have the rights and preferences described in the form of Certificate of Designations of Series A convertible preferred stock, or the Certificate of Designations, included in this information statement as Annex C.

On February 10, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors with respect to the private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 of notes, along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock, the exercise of which is subject to a cap based upon the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The issuance of the notes and the warrants was completed as an initial step to the private placement of the Series A convertible preferred stock, which we anticipate issuing to the same accredited investors in exchange for the notes. The notes and warrants were issued in order to allow us to complete our acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. in a timely manner and avoid certain payments which would have been due to Guardian as a result of our failure to do so, including forfeiture of a $3 million deposit. We anticipate that the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock in exchange for notes bearing an aggregate principal amount equal to $45,000,000 and for no additional consideration. Accordingly, each share of our Series A convertible preferred stock will have a liquidation preference equal to $1,000. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. The sale of the notes and the common stock warrants and the closing of the Guardian acquisition occurred on March 6, 2006. The sale of the shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock is expected to take place on or before October 20, 2006.

As of the close of business on January 30, 2006, the record date, our records indicated that 6,003,404 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. This information statement is being mailed on or about September 20, 2006 to holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on the record date, pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to federal securities laws, the amendment to our articles of incorporation and the private placement and the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants will not be effective until twenty (20) days following the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders or shortly thereafter.

In this information statement, Devcon International Corp. is referred to as “Devcon,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,” unless the context indicates otherwise.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

This term sheet is a summary of the material terms of our proposals described in this information statement. To understand the transaction fully and for a more complete description of the terms related to the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, the Guardian acquisition and the private placement, you should read carefully this entire document, including the annexes, and the documents to which we have referred you. This term sheet is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this information statement.

Our board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution seeking shareholder approval to amend our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10 million shares of preferred stock. Currently, we await the effectiveness of shareholder approval of the amendment, which will occur after we comply with SEC rules and regulations concerning delivery of this information statement to our shareholders. Upon the effectiveness of shareholder approval and the private placement, we anticipate the following:

We entered into a merger agreement, on November 9, 2005, with Devcon Acquisition, Inc., or the Merger Sub, and Guardian International, Inc., or Guardian. The acquisition was completed on March 6, 2006 and resulted in Devcon’s acquisition of Guardian. In connection with the merger:

The actions that we undertake to complete the private placement and any related transactions require shareholder approval under either Florida law or the rules of Nasdaq. In compliance with these requirements, on February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of our common stock approved (i) the amendment to our articles of incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock, (ii) the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock, (iii) the issuance of the common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock and (iv) the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock. The approval of our shareholders, however, will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of this information statement to our shareholders have been fully satisfied. We anticipate that the sale of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock will take place on or before October 20, 2006.

Applicable laws require us to provide you information regarding the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, the private placement, the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock, even though your vote is neither required nor requested for these actions to become effective.

Nothing. The amendment will modify our Articles of Incorporation, the private placement will result in the issuance of to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock will occur upon the occurrence of any of these events.

The amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Secretary of State. The private placement and the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Designations with the Florida Secretary of State and the occurrence of the closing of this issuance. A copy of the form of amendment and the Certificate of Designations are included in this information statement as Annex A and C, respectively. We expect to file the Certificate of Designations and the amendment with the Florida Secretary of State twenty (20) days after the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders or shortly thereafter.

The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock have already approved the amendment, the private placement and the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a meeting. Such approval, together with the approval of our Board of Directors, is sufficient under Florida law and any applicable Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, and no further approval by our shareholders is required.

Nothing. This information statement is purely for your information and we do not require or request you to do anything.

If you have any questions, our principal executive offices are located at 595 South Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, and you may contact George M. Hare, our Chief Financial Officer. Our telephone number is (561) 955-7300.

Our voting securities outstanding as of January 30, 2006, the record date, consisted of 6,003,404 shares of common stock. The following table shows, as of the record date (or such other date indicated in the footnotes below), the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of our common stock before the sale of the securities, by the following:

We have disclosed the beneficial ownership for each of the above-listed individuals and entities on two bases: 1) without reflecting the effect of the voting agreement described below under “Senior Management and Coconut Palm Voting Arrangement” and 2) reflecting the effect of this voting agreement.

On April 4, 2005, one of our shareholders, Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd., distributed an aggregate of 396,674 shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase 396,674 additional shares of our common stock to certain of its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In accordance with Coconut Palm’s limited partnership agreement, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had requested redemption paid to Coconut Palm an aggregate of $1,000.00 for legal fees incurred by Coconut Palm in connection with the redemption of the limited partnership interests. Coconut Palm’s limited partners include Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc., which entity is also the general partner of Coconut Palm, CSS Group, Inc., RPCP Investments, LLLP, as well as Messrs. Ruzika, Rochon, Ferrari and Karnes. Messrs. Rochon and Ferrari also are officers and directors of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. Mr. Ruzika is an officer and director of CSS Group, Inc. None of the above named limited partners were involved in the first distribution. In connection with the first distribution of shares, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, all of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Subsequently, on April 14, 2005, Coconut Palm distributed an aggregate of 19,992 shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase 19,992 additional shares of our common stock to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In accordance with Coconut Palm’s limited partnership agreement, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had requested redemption paid to Coconut Palm an aggregate of $250.00 for legal fees incurred by Coconut Palm in connection with the redemption of the limited partnership interests. Similar to the first distribution of shares, in connection with the second distribution of shares, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, all of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders, as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Finally, on June 28, 2005, Coconut Palm distributed 1,583,334 shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase 3,583,334 additional shares of our common stock to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. This third distribution represented all of the remaining common stock and warrants held by Coconut Palm. No payment was made by the limited partners to Coconut Palm in connection with the third distribution of shares. Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed did, however, grant to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, all of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

The holders of the largest limited partner interests in Coconut Palm prior to the redemptions were CSS Group, Inc., an entity for which Stephen J. Ruzika, our Chief Executive Officer and President, serves as an officer and a director, and RPCP Investments, LLLP, an entity for which Richard C. Rochon, our Chairman of the Board, and Mario G. Ferrari, another director of ours, serve as officers and directors. As a result of these limited partner interest holdings, CSS Group, Inc. received, in exchange for the redemption of its limited partner interests, warrants to purchase 650,000 shares of our common stock, and RPCP Investments, LLLP received, in exchange for the redemption of its limited partner interests, warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of our common stock.

Other holders of substantially smaller limited partner interests include Richard C. Rochon, our Chairman of the Board who received in exchange for the redemption of his limited partner interests 83,333 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 83,333 shares of our common stock, Stephen J. Ruzika, our Chief Executive Officer and President, who received in exchange for the redemption of his limited partner interests 111,110 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 111,110 shares of our common stock, Donald K. Karnes, a director of ours, who received in exchange for the redemption of his limited partner interests 19,444 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 19,444 shares of our common stock and P. Rodney

Cunningham, another director of ours who received in exchange for the redemption of his limited partner interests 25,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock.

The proxy granted by these limited partners to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. terminates upon the transfer of the securities to a third party.

On February 10, 2006, the holders of 3,082,640 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock representing approximately 51.4% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of our shareholders executed a written consent approving the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, the private placement, the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants described in this information statement and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock. These shareholders have also entered into a voting agreement under the terms of which they have agreed to vote the shares they represent in favor of the same matters if these matters are submitted to a vote of our shareholders at a meeting of our shareholders. The parties to this voting agreement consisted of Stephen J. Ruzika, Donald L. Smith, Jr., Smithcon Family Investments, Ltd., Smithcon Investments, Inc., George Hare, Ron G. Lakey, Richard C. Rochon, Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. and Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. Messrs. Ruzika, Hare and Lakey are executive officers of ours, and Messrs. Smith and Rochon are members of our board of directors. Smithcon Family Investments, Ltd. is a family limited partnership through which Mr. Smith beneficially owns some shares of our common stock and Smithcon Investments, Inc. is the general partner of Smithcon Family Investments, Ltd. As discussed previously, Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. was granted a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, shares of our common stock owned by the former limited partners of Coconut Palm Investments I, Ltd. and is a party to the voting agreement both in its capacity as proxy holder as well as on its own behalf with respect to the shares of our common stock it owns directly. The approval by the shareholders will not become effective until 20 days from the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders. See “Private Placement—Description of the Private Placement Voting Agreement”.

As of the record date, no single party has control over Devcon. The shareholder who owns beneficially and of record the largest number of shares is our founder and former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Donald L. Smith, Jr., who owns of record, directly and indirectly through control of Smithcon Family Investments, Ltd. and Smithcon Family Investments, Inc., 1,308,474 shares, or approximately 21.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition, as outlined in Note 3 to the Security Ownership table set forth above, including the ownership of options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date and including Mr. Smith’s participation in the voting agreement described under “Senior Management and Coconut Palm Voting Arrangement” described above, Mr. Smith beneficially owns an aggregate of 7,378,474 shares, or approximately 74.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

No other shareholder owns of record directly or indirectly more shares of our common stock than Mr. Smith. Previously, upon exercise of warrants it held, Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. would have owned of record 6,000,000 shares of our common stock (including 2,000,000 shares, or 33% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, Coconut Palm owned of record) giving it beneficial ownership of approximately 60% of our common stock outstanding as of the record date. Accordingly, if Coconut Palm were to have retained and exercised its warrants, it would have owned of record enough shares of our common stock to control our Company.

However, as described above under “Coconut Palm Voting Arrangements”, between April 2005 and June 2005, Coconut Palm engaged in a series of distributions in which it distributed all of its common stock and

common stock warrants to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In connection with these distributions, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc., the general partner of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd., a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Of the Coconut Palm limited partners receiving shares and warrants in the distribution, the limited partner receiving beneficial ownership of the greatest number of our shares was RPCP Investments, LLLP, which received warrants exercisable into 1,350,000 shares of our common stock, or 18.33% of our common stock outstanding as of the record date. No individual limited partner received shares of common stock and common stock warrants which would grant him, her or it beneficial ownership over shares of our common stock exceeding 18.33% of our common stock outstanding as of the record date.

In addition, on February 10, 2006, Coconut Palm Investors I, Ltd. and Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. entered into the subsequent voting agreement described above under “Senior Management and Coconut Palm Voting Arrangement”. Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. entered into this second voting agreement both on its own behalf with respect to any remaining shares or warrants Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. still owned of record and as proxy holder with the power to vote the shares of our common stock owned of record by the Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. limited partners. Accordingly, the effect of the proxy granted by the limited partners to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. coupled with Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc.’s participation in the second voting agreement on its own behalf and as proxy holder was to grant Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. (and Richard C. Rochon and Mario B. Ferrari by virtue of the control over Coconut Palm) beneficial ownership of 7,378,474 shares of our common stock, or 73.8% of our common stock outstanding. The entry by these shareholders into the second voting agreement did not constitute a change of control under Florida law.

All parties have disclaimed the beneficial ownership attributable to them by virtue of the proxy granted by the limited partners or the subsequent voting agreement.

You should read and consider carefully each of the following factors, as well as the other information contained in or attached to this information statement. Some of the following factors relate specifically to the transaction that we will consummate upon effectiveness of shareholder approval. Others are factors more generally associated with the businesses of the companies. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the value of our stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations.

Our officers and directors have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

Our officers and directors beneficially own, directly or indirectly and, in the aggregate, a significant percentage of the outstanding shares of our common stock and have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

We are subject to significant debt and debt service and will be subject to significant dividend service and redemption obligations which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

On November 10, 2005, our subsidiaries which comprise our electronic security services division entered into the $70 million CapitalSource Revolving Facility, the proceeds of which were used in part to pay down and cancel the $35 million revolving credit facility provided by CIT Financial USA, Inc., or the CIT Facility, and pay the purchase price of the Coastal acquisition. The CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility was increased in March 2006 to contribute to the funding of the Guardian acquisition and, as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, we had $55 million and $86.8 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding. In addition, to fund the remainder of the purchase price of the Guardian acquisition, on March 6, 2006, we issued to certain investors an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes, which notes we anticipate will subsequently be exchanged for an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $45,000,000. These notes and shares of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock will be subject to regular interest, principal payment or dividend payment and redemption obligations. As a result of the foregoing transactions, we are now incurring significant interest expense. The degree to which we are leveraged could have significant consequences, including the following:

A default could result in acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by the senior debt or the notes and permit our senior lenders to foreclose on our electronic security services assets. In addition, our failure to comply with the terms of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A convertible preferred stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends.

The CapitalSource Revolving Facility contains a number of covenants imposing restrictions on our electronic security services division’s ability to, among other things:

Also, the notes contain a number of covenants imposing restrictions on our ability to incur more debt, create liens on our assets or make payments with respect to existing debt.

The CapitalSource Revolving Facility contains financial covenants that require our subsidiaries which comprise our electronic security services division to meet a number of financial ratios and tests. Failure to comply with the obligations in the CapitalSource Revolving Facility or the notes could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of this indebtedness or of other indebtedness, allowing our senior lenders to foreclose on our electronic security services assets.

We will be subject to a financial covenant under the Series A convertible preferred stock which will restrict our ability to incur indebtedness and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Upon effectiveness of approval of the shareholders of the private placement and exchange of the $45 million in notes for the Series A convertible preferred stock, we will be subject to a financial covenant under the Series A convertible preferred stock. The proposed terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock contain a financial covenant imposing a restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness. As a result, so long as any shares of Series A convertible preferred stock remain outstanding, we will not be able to allow our indebtedness ratio to exceed a specified maximum leverage amount. Our failure to comply with this indebtedness ratio covenant could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A convertible preferred stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends.

If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may not be able to repay or refinance our senior debt or the notes or comply with the terms of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock.

we anticipate will be a part of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock. Failure to pay our interest expense, make our principal payments, pay dividends or effect a redemption would result in a default. A default relating to the senior debt, the notes or the Series A convertible preferred stock, if not waived, could result in acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by our senior debt and the notes, in which case the indebtedness would become immediately due and payable, or could permit holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A convertible preferred stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends. If this occurs, our substantial indebtedness and the redemption amount for the Series A convertible preferred stock could have important consequences to us and may, among other things:

In the event that we are unable to do so, we may be left without sufficient liquidity and may not be able to repay our senior debt or the notes. In that case, the senior lenders would be able to foreclose on our assets. Even if new financing is available, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us. In the case of a default relating to dividends on the Series A convertible preferred stock, if not cured or waived, it could permit the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A convertible preferred stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends

Similarly, if we are not able to successfully implement our business strategy or realize our anticipated financial results, we may not be able to comply with the anticipated terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock concerning the payment of dividends or requiring us to redeem, for cash, all outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, in equal installments, on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of completion of the private placement. If we fail to effect any required redemption of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the applicable redemption amount per unredeemed share of Series A convertible preferred stock will bear interest at an anticipated rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full and the investors are anticipated to have the option to require us to convert any of those unredeemed shares into shares of our common stock substituting market prices for the conversion price, which market prices may be lower than the conversion price resulting in a larger number of shares of our common stock being issued, resulting in greater dilution to our existing shareholders.

The notes, common stock warrants and shares of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock may be deemed under generally accepted accounting principles to contain embedded derivative financial instruments, the periodic valuation of which may result in us recognizing charges due to changes in the market value of these derivative financial instruments.

In connection with the debt and equity financing we conducted to fund the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc., we identified with the issuance of the $45,000,000 of notes, the following freestanding and embedded derivative financial instruments:

ii) the right to purchase the Series A convertible preferred stock upon issuance, or the Right to Purchase, which is an embedded derivative within the governing Securities Purchase Agreement.

In addition, the following embedded derivatives have been identified within the Series A convertible preferred stock if and when it is issued upon exchange for the notes:

i) the ability to convert the Series A convertible preferred stock into common stock;

ii) our option to satisfy dividends payable on the Series A convertible preferred stock in common stock in lieu of cash;

iii) the potential increase in the dividend rate of the Series A convertible preferred stock in the event a certain level of net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of our construction and materials divisions are not realized within a specified time frame; and

We anticipate the embedded derivatives within the Series A convertible preferred stock will be required to be bifurcated under generally accepted accounting principles and valued as a single compound derivative if and when the Series A convertible preferred stock is issued.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the common stock warrants, the Right to Purchase and any other embedded derivatives must be revalued from time to time as of each applicable balance sheet date and marked to market with resulting changes in value being recorded as a charge or credit to arrive at net income. We valued the common stock warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model. This model is described in footnote 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006. As more fully explained in footnote 16, from the date of issuance through June 30, 2006, we recorded an aggregate increase to earnings to arrive at net income with respect to the re-valuation of these derivatives liabilities which amounted to $6.8 million.

We intend to continue our strategy of developing a strong regional presence and, as a result, experience significant growth, some of which may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and existing business.

To date, we have acquired Devcon Security Services Corp., formerly known as Security Equipment Company, Inc. and referred to in this information statement as DSSC, Starpoint Limited, a subsidiary of Adelphia Communications Corporation, Coastal Security Systems, Inc. and Guardian International, Inc. and plan to continue to acquire additional electronic security service companies. Acquisitions can divert management’s attention and result in greater administrative burdens and operating costs and, to the extent financed with debt, additional interest costs. We may not be able to manage or integrate acquired companies or businesses successfully. The success of our acquisition strategy will depend on, among other things:

Financing for the acquisitions may come from several sources, including our existing cash on hand, the proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance of additional common stock, preferred stock, debt (whether convertible or not) or other securities. The issuance of any additional securities could, among other things:

Our inability to continue to acquire businesses in the electronic security services business could have adverse consequences on our results of operations.

Due to the continuing consolidation of the electronic security systems industry and the acquisition by us and other electronic security systems companies of a number of large portfolios of subscriber accounts, there may in the future be fewer large portfolios of subscriber accounts available for acquisition. We face competition for the acquisition of portfolios of subscriber accounts, and we may be required to offer higher prices for subscriber accounts we acquire in the future than we have offered in the past. A core component of our regional strategy is the acquisition of electronic security services businesses which will enable us to develop a leading regional presence in certain targeted markets and benefit from the increased brand recognition, maximization of market share and improved operating efficiencies that we believe will accompany this position. If we are unable to continue our acquisition program, we may be unable to achieve this regional presence in some or all of the markets we have targeted, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Integrating our acquired businesses may be disruptive to or cause an interruption of our business which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

The process of integrating our acquired businesses may be disruptive to our business and may cause an interruption or a loss of momentum in our business as a result of the following factors, among others:

These disruptions and difficulties, if they occur, may cause us to fail to realize the cost savings, revenue enhancements and other benefits from that integration and may cause material adverse short and long-term effects on our operating results and financial condition.

Inherent uncertainties associated with the acquisition of past or future acquisition candidates may cause us or the acquisition candidates to lose key employees.

Employees of a past or future acquisition candidate may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the surviving corporation. This uncertainty may adversely affect the surviving corporation’s ability to retain key management, sales and marketing personnel. Many of these employees may be critical to the business and operations of the surviving corporation. The loss of key personnel may imperil the acquisition of any such acquisition candidate or lead to disruptions of our operations. The loss of key personnel also could result in a loss of key information, expertise and know-how, which could result in future replacement costs associated with recruitment and training.

We expect that we will encounter challenges and difficulties in implementing our business plan. These challenges and difficulties relate to our ability to:

If we encounter greater than anticipated difficulties in integrating our electronic security services division into our general corporate structure, it may be necessary to take additional actions, which could divert management’s attention and strain our operational and financial resources. We may not successfully address any or all of these challenges, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business plan and results of operations, our ability to raise additional capital and our ability to achieve enhanced profitability.

Each of DSSC, Starpoint, Coastal, and Guardian operated on different technology platforms that will have to be integrated.

We plan to fully integrate the back-office software platforms for each of our acquired operations for standard processes, including accounts payable/receivable, human resources management, inventory management, customer service and other platforms to a single, unified platform. Each of DSSC, Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian currently use a combination of different technology platforms for back-office support and security systems monitoring that will have to be integrated to achieve our objectives of growth and profitability. As with any technology switchover, we run the risk of potential operational challenges and service disruptions that could negatively impact our operations.

The development and recognition of our regional brand may not advance as quickly or as effectively as we anticipate.

Our regional growth strategy requires a recognized brand in the geographic areas in which we operate. In order to attract and retain the high quality customers we seek, we will have to develop and cultivate our brand. There is no guarantee that our brand will be adopted or recognized as a market leader in security systems monitoring services or as a regional brand. Even if the brand is cultivated effectively, it may require more time than we anticipate and may affect our further implementation of our growth strategy.

Our electronic security services operations are geographically concentrated making us vulnerable to economic and environmental risks inherent to those locations.

Our existing subscriber base is geographically concentrated predominantly in Florida and New York. Accordingly, our performance may be adversely affected by regional or local economic and environmental conditions, including weather conditions. Florida in particular is highly susceptible to the impact of hurricanes. Similarly, other unforeseen events, including war or terrorist activities could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may from time to time make acquisitions in regions outside of our current operating area as part of our regional focus. The acquisition of companies in other regions, or in metropolitan areas in which we do not currently have subscribers, requires an investment by us. In order for us to expand successfully into a new area, we must acquire companies with a sufficient number and density of subscriber accounts in that area to support the investment. We may not be able to locate these opportunities or, even if we locate these opportunities, an expansion into these new geographic areas may not generate operating profits.

Our electronic security services division operates in a highly competitive environment and we may not be able to compete effectively for customers, causing us to lose all or a portion of our market share.

The electronic security services business in the United States is highly competitive. New competitors are continually entering the field. Competition is based primarily on price in relation to quality of service. Sources of competition in the electronic security services business are other providers of central monitoring services, local electronic security systems and other methods of protection, such as manned guarding.

Our electronic security services division competes with other major firms which have substantial resources, including ADT Security Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Tyco International Limited), Brinks Home Security, a division of The Brinks Company, Protection One, and Honeywell Protection Services, a division of Honeywell, Inc., as well as many smaller regional and local companies. Many of these competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do and may possess greater local market knowledge as well. We may not be able to continue to compete effectively for existing or potential customers, causing us to lose all or a portion of our market share.

Our electronic security services division is subject to significant government regulation and the failure to substantially comply with one or more of these regulations could adversely affect our electronic security services division’s business and results of operations.

date, we are not able to predict whether these statutes or ordinances, or similar statutes or ordinances enacted by other jurisdictions, will adversely affect our business in the future. The electronic security services industry also is subject to the oversight and requirements of various insurance, approval, listing and standards organizations. Adherence to the standards and requirements of these organizations may be mandatory or voluntary depending upon the type of customer served, the nature of the electronic security services provided and the requirements of governmental jurisdiction.

The nature of the services provided by our electronic security services division potentially exposes us to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or product liability than may be inherent in many other service businesses.

Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our electronic security services division.

The operating results of our electronic security services division may be adversely affected by the general cyclical pattern of the electronic security services industry. Demand for electronic security services is significantly affected by levels of commercial construction and consumer and business discretionary spending, which attrition would adversely affect our results of operations.

Our electronic security services division’s business is subject to attrition of subscriber accounts.

Our electronic security services division experiences attrition of subscriber accounts as a result of, among other factors, relocation of subscribers, adverse financial and economic conditions, and competition from other electronic security system companies. In addition, our electronic security services division experiences attrition of newly acquired accounts to the extent that we do not integrate these accounts or do not adequately service those accounts or because of dissatisfaction with prior service. Attrition and an increase in attrition rates could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and earnings.

When acquiring accounts, we seek to withhold a portion of the purchase price as a partial reserve against subscriber attrition. If the actual attrition rate for the accounts acquired is greater than the rate assumed by us at the time of the acquisition, and we are unable to recoup our damages from the portion of the purchase price held back from the seller, such attrition could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to obtain purchase price holdbacks in future acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of large portfolios. Also, actual account attrition for acquired accounts may be greater than the attrition rate assumed or historically incurred by our electronic security services division.

The effects of gross subscriber attrition have historically been offset by adding new accounts from subscribers who move into premises previously occupied by prior subscribers and in which electronic security systems are installed, conversions of accounts that were previously monitored by other electronic security services companies to our monitoring services and accounts for which we obtain a guarantee from the seller that provides for us to “put” back to the seller canceled accounts. The resulting figure is used as a guideline to determine the estimated life of subscriber revenues. It is our policy to review periodically actual account attrition and, when necessary, adjust the remaining estimated lives of our purchased accounts to reflect assumed future attrition. If actual account attrition significantly exceeds assumed attrition and we have to shorten the period over which we amortize the cost of purchased subscriber accounts, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our future success is dependent, in part, on key personnel and failure to retain these key personnel would adversely affect our operation.

The future success or our electronic security services division depends significantly upon the efforts of certain key management personnel, such as Stephen J. Ruzika, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and a

small group of other significant employees who we employed in connection with our recent acquisitions of electronic security services businesses. The loss of the services of any of these officers or other key employees could materially and adversely affect our business as we would no longer be able to benefit from their knowledge, experience and guidance.

Demand for electronic security monitoring services to detect intrusion and fire is tied, in part, to the new construction. The market for new construction and the real estate market in general are cyclical and, in the event of a decline in the market for new developments, it is likely that demand for our electronic security monitoring services to multi-family dwellings would also decline, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Lower crime rates could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

For the past several years crime rates have been dropping in the United States, particularly in the State of Florida. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s 2004 Annual Uniform Crime Report, Florida’s index crime rate has reached a 34-year low dropping by 6.0 percent in 2004, compared to 2003. Particularly relevant to our business is the decrease in the number of burglaries. While the number of homes and businesses with installed electronic security systems has continued to increase even as crime rates have decreased, this may not continue to be the case. Any significant decrease in the number of homes and businesses installing new electronic security systems could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that may prevent us from being able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which could harm our business and operating results, the trading price of our stock and our access to capital.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on, our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, LLP, communicated to our management and Audit Committee that certain matters involving our internal controls were considered to be “material weaknesses”, as defined under the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. See “Item 9A—Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our independent registered public accounting firm informed our management and our Audit Committee that these material weaknesses related to their belief that we did not have sufficient controls pertaining to the review and oversight of subsidiary financial results constituting material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and assess on an on-going basis the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. We are committed to continuously improving our internal controls and financial reporting. We are working with consultants with experience in internal controls to assist management and the Audit Committee in reviewing our current internal controls structure with a view towards meeting the formalized requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

However, to the extent our independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls, even if we are able to take remedial actions to correct the identified material weaknesses described above and any other material weaknesses identified as the evaluation and testing process is completed, there may be insufficient time for the remediated controls to be in operation to permit our independent registered public accounting firm to conclude that the remediated controls are effective. Thus, our independent registered public accounting firm would possibly provide an adverse opinion to the effect that our internal controls are ineffective as of the date of such evaluation, or may decline to issue an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls.

Under current regulations, we must be able to comply with the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by our reporting period ending December 31, 2007.

If we are unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective at such time that we will be required to attest to them, or if our independent registered public accounting firm concludes that our internal controls are ineffective at such time, or is unable to conclude that our assessment is fairly stated or is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls, our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms could be materially and adversely affected, which, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, our financial condition and the market value of our securities. In addition, if we are unable to conclude our internal controls or disclosure controls are effective at such time that we will be required to attest to them, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price could be negatively impacted.

We have agreed to settlement terms with respect to a dispute with a vendor of ours in St. Martin; however, the terms of the settlement have not yet been fulfilled and it is possible that the vendor could still pursue a claim against us.

On July 25, 1995, our subsidiary, Societe des Carrieres de Grande Case, or SCGC, entered into an agreement with Mr. Fernand Hubert Petit, Mr. Francois Laurent Petit and Mr. Michel Andre Lucien Petit, collectively referred to as, Petit, to lease a quarry located in the French side of St. Martin. Another lease was entered into by SCGC on October 27, 1999 for the same and additional property. Another subsidiary of ours, Bouwbedrijf Boven Winden, N.A., or BBW, entered into a material supply agreement with Petit on July 31, 1995. This agreement was amended on October 27, 1999. Under the terms of this amendment, we became a party to the materials supply agreement.

In May 2004, we advised Petit that we would possibly be removing our equipment within the timeframes provided in its agreements and made a partial quarterly payment under the materials supply agreement. On June 3, 2004, Petit advised us in writing that Petit was terminating the materials supply agreement immediately because Petit had not received the full quarterly payment and also advised that it would not renew the 1999 lease when it expired on October 27, 2004. Petit refused to accept the remainder of the quarterly payment from us in the amount of $45,000.

Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets were impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit claimed that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by us if the contract continued for the entire potential term and we continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by us on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and Devcon entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

After conferring with our French counsel and upon review by management, we believe that we have valid defenses and offsets to Petit’s claims, including, among others, those relating to our termination rights and the benefit to Petit from us not mining the property. Based on the foregoing agreements and our review, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. At the time we exercise the options discussed above, we will obtain independent appraisals to determine the fair value of any non-cash consideration, including the exercise of the options discussed above, used in settlement of a judgment received by Petit, if any.

We have entered into transactions with our affiliates which result in conflicts of interests.

We have entered into a number of transactions with our affiliates, including an investment in the Caribbean involving companies in which certain of our current and former officers and directors have an interest. Material transactions are disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Item 13—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. These transactions result in conflicts of interests. Our Audit Committee reviews and approves transactions between us and our affiliates, including our officers and directors. Our policy is that all of these transactions be reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to completion. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that no contract or other transaction between us and any other corporation shall in any way be invalidated by the fact that any of our directors are interested in or are directors or officers of the other party to the transaction.

The majority of our continuing operations in 2005 were conducted in foreign countries located in the Caribbean, primarily Antigua and Barbuda, Sint Maarten, St. Martin and the Bahamas. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, 70%, of our revenue were derived from foreign geographic areas. The risks of doing business in foreign areas include potential adverse changes in U.S. diplomatic relations with foreign countries, changes in the relative purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, hostility from local populations, adverse effects of exchange controls, changes in either import or export tariffs, nationalization, interest rate fluctuations, restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings, government policies against businesses owned by non-nationals, expropriations of property, the instability of foreign governments, any civil unrest or insurrection that could result in uninsured losses and other political, economic and regulatory conditions, risks or difficulties. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates or raw material commodity prices, both in absolute terms and relative to competitors’ risk profiles, could adversely impact our operations. We are not subject to these risks in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, since these are United States territories. We believe our most significant foreign currency exposure is the Euro. We are also subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the distribution of certain offshore earnings. Although we have not encountered significant difficulties in our foreign operations, we could encounter difficulties in the future.

Some of the contracts involved in our contracting business have fixed price terms which do not take into account unanticipated changes in production costs, which we would not be able to pass on to the customer.

We generally enter into either fixed-price contracts that provide for an established price that does not vary during the term of the contract or unit-price contracts under which our fee is based on the quantity of work performed. Fixed-price and unit-price contracts, involve inherent risks, such as unanticipated increases in the cost of labor and/or materials, subcontracts that were unexpected at the time of bidding, bidding errors, unexpected field conditions, adverse weather conditions, the inability of subcontractors to perform, work stoppages and other events beyond our control. Although our attempts to minimize the risks inherent in our contracts by, among other things, obtaining subcontracts from reliable subcontractors, anticipating labor and material cost increases, anticipating contingencies, utilizing our cost control system and obtaining certain cost escalation clauses, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete our current or future contracts at a profit. In addition, the longer the term of fixed-price and unit-price contracts, the greater the risks associated with that contract.

We may incur specified penalties or losses under some of the clauses in the contracts governing our projects.

Some of our contracts call for project completion by a specified date and may contain a penalty clause for our failure to complete a project by this date. During the year ended December 31, 2005, our construction division reported an operating loss of $2.9 million compared to $4.6 million of operating income for the corresponding period of 2004. This decrease was primarily attributable to a substantial increase in the estimated costs to complete a current marina project in the U.S. Virgin Islands due to operational difficulties encountered during the year. As a result, the anticipated gross margin on this project was reduced by more than $5.2 million during the year, resulting in a loss on the project in 2005 of $3.8 million. The loss attributable to this marina project was increased by an additional $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which consisted of $1.0 million, and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, under the terms of some of our contracts, we make warranties that extend for a period of time beyond the completion of these contracts.

Our failure to enter into new contracts to replace completed contracts could have an adverse impact on our operations.

We endeavor to ensure that our contracting resources are effectively utilized and to that end pursue new contracts as the completion time for existing contracts approaches. To the extent we have entered into contracts to which a significant part of our resources are committed, the failure to obtain new contracts upon the completion of these contracts could adversely affect our results of operations.

General economic conditions in the markets in which we conduct business could have a material impact upon our operations.

Our construction division and our materials division are materially dependent upon economic conditions in general, including recession, inflation, deflation, general weakness in construction and housing markets, changes in infrastructure requirements and, in particular, upon the level of development and construction activities in the Caribbean. A general downturn in the economy in this region would adversely affect the housing and construction industry and, therefore, would adversely affect our contracting and concrete and related products businesses.

Our materials and construction divisions operate in a highly competitive environment and we may not be able to compete effectively for customers, causing us to lose all or a portion of our market share.

with smaller local contractors as well as larger U.S. and European based contractors in all our markets. Primary competitive factors include price, prior experience and relationships, the equipment available to complete the job, innovation, the available engineering staff to assist an owner in minimizing costs, how quickly a company can complete a contract, and the ability to obtain bonding which guarantees contract completion.

We are highly dependent on supplies of cement and Barbuda sand and a failure to maintain adequate supplies would adversely affect our operations.

Our operations are highly dependent upon our ability to acquire adequate supplies of cement, concrete block and Barbuda sand. We have experienced, in the past, and could experience in the future short term shortages of both cement and Barbuda sand which, temporarily, adversely affected our operations.

Some of our significant customers are governmental agencies of islands in the Caribbean which may constitute a credit risk.

We operate on several islands in the Caribbean. The governmental agencies of these islands are significant customers. Many of the island governments, with which we conduct business, have high levels of public debt relative to their revenue base. Accordingly, we may experience difficulty in collecting amounts due from these governmental agencies.

We are highly dependent on the availability of barging and towing services in the Caribbean.

Our construction division is highly dependent upon the availability of barging and towing services to move construction materials and equipment from the United States to various Caribbean islands and between Caribbean islands. Our materials division is highly dependent upon the availability of barging services to import sand, cement and block. We have experienced, in the past, and could experience in the future, a short-term shortage of barging capacity which would have an adverse affect on our operations.

We are highly dependent upon having the ability to secure bid, payment, and performance bonds.

Our construction division’s ability to secure new contracts is dependent upon being able to obtain bid, payment and performance bonds. We have no definitive bonding line. One of the underwriting criteria of the bonding company, which we utilize, is tangible net worth. Our tangible net worth decreased significantly during 2005 due to our net loss and the increase in Intangible Assets and Goodwill associated with the acquisitions of businesses in the electronic security division. This reduced our tangible net worth which could negatively affect our ability to secure new construction contracts.

We are highly dependent upon the ability to secure work permits for employees.

Our construction division is dependent upon being able to secure work permits from the various Caribbean island governments for employees domiciled in other jurisdictions. We could, in the future, experience delays in securing these work permits, which could adversely affect its ability to perform under its contracts.

We are highly dependent upon the ability to secure business licenses to operate in foreign jurisdictions, particularly in the Bahamas.

Our construction division competes for business, in some jurisdictions, with local contractors. The governments in some of these foreign jurisdictions, particularly the Bahamas, encourage the awarding of contracts to local contractors. We may not, in the future, be able to secure all prerequisite business licenses to enter into or perform under construction contracts.

The creation of a class of “blank check” preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the rights of holders of our common stock.

Upon the effectiveness of shareholder approval regarding the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, our Articles of Incorporation will provide that our board of directors will be authorized to issue from time to time, without further shareholder approval, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, including redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designations of any series. Such shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. Also, we may issue additional preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer or prevent a change in control without further action by our shareholders. Additionally, the shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the creation of a class or series of voting rights.

The holders of Series A convertible preferred stock will have rights that are senior to those of the holders of our common stock reducing the ability of the holders of our common stock to make claims against our assets in the event of our liquidation.

The holders of our Series A convertible preferred stock will have certain rights, preferences and privileges that are more favorable to, and/or different from, the rights of the holders of our common stock. Specifically, cumulative dividends will accrue at the rate of 8.0% per annum on the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference over the holders of our common stock. The holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock will have voting rights entitling them to vote together with the holders of our common stock as a single class and on an as-if converted to common stock basis, subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or consolidation of or on our common stock and certain other limitations. However, we will not give effect to any voting rights of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, and any holder will not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to its shares, to the extent that giving effect to the voting rights would cause the holder (together with its affiliates) to be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the voting rights. In the event of our liquidation, holders of Series A convertible preferred stock will have claims against our assets that are senior to any claims of the holders of our common stock and would receive a distribution of the proceeds from the liquidation before any distribution to the holders of our common stock. In addition, the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are redeemable, at either the option of its holders or us under specified circumstances, while our common stock is not redeemable. The holders of Series A convertible preferred stock also have certain protective provisions, such as anti-dilution protection.

Upon completion of the private placement of shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants and the conversion or exercise of these securities, our current shareholders could experience a substantial dilution of ownership.

Our current shareholders could experience a substantial dilution of their ownership interest in us for various reasons. The conversion of shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock, including conversions based upon conversion prices that have been adjusted under anti-dilution provisions of the Series A convertible preferred stock under its Certificate of Designations, any dividends paid in the form of our common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock and the exercise of the common stock warrants, which are also subject to anti-dilution adjustment, will reduce the proportionate ownership of our current shareholders. Assuming all shares and warrants offered are issued and sold, after giving effect to this private placement, on a fully converted and exercised basis, assuming no anti-dilution adjustment of the conversion and exercise prices, and excluding the impact of dividends paid on the Series A convertible preferred stock in the form of shares of our common stock, we will have

12,371,328 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, approximately a 106.1% increase, as compared with 6,003,404 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2006, the record date.

An increased number of shares of our common stock in the market may adversely impact the market price of our common stock.

We have recently increased and expect further increases to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a result of the previous sale of our equity securities to Coconut Palm, the potential exercise of warrants previously sold to Coconut Palm, the completion of our purchase of DSSC, the potential conversion or exercise of shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and additional common stock warrants contemplated herein, anti-dilution protections afforded the Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants, any dividends paid in the form of our common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock or the completion of future purchases of other security services companies in which shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock constitute a part or all of the purchase price or completion of other sales of our common stock or other securities to raise funds to complete purchases of security services companies. These increases could result in sales of large amounts of our common stock in the public market which could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock, even if our business is doing well. These potential sales also could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities. Taking these transactions into account, upon completion of the private placement of all the shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants contemplated herein, approximately (i) 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into 4,716,981 shares of our common stock, (ii) 6,003,404 shares of our common stock and (iii) warrants and options to purchase 6,451,783 shares of our common stock would be outstanding, based upon our issued and outstanding shares as of the record date. All of the shares of our common stock underlying our shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock issued will be either freely tradeable without restriction or eligible for resale subject to the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We will have discretion over the use of proceeds from the private placement of the notes and the common stock warrants. We may apply the net proceeds from the private placement of the notes and the common stock warrants to uses that do not improve our operating results or increase the value of your investment.

While we intend to use the net proceeds from the private placement of the notes and the common stock warrants, as described in “Use of Proceeds”, we will have discretion to adjust the application and allocation of the net proceeds in order to address changed circumstances and opportunities. You will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess how the proceeds will be used. The success of our operations that are influenced by working capital allocations will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of our management with respect to the application and allocation of the net proceeds. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our operating results or market value, and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use the proceeds. For more information, please see “Use of Proceeds”.

Specified change in control redemption obligations provided for in the terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock may inhibit a takeover, which may cause a decline in the value of our common stock.

Specified rights relating to our Series A convertible preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if closing the transaction would be beneficial to our shareholders. Under the terms of our Series A convertible preferred stock, if there is a change in control, the holders of shares of Series A convertible preferred stock have the right to require us to redeem their shares. A redemption required by holders of Series A convertible preferred stock upon a change of control could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

While our common stock trades on Nasdaq, our stock is thinly traded and you may have difficulty in reselling your shares quickly. The low trading volume of our common stock is outside of our control, and we

cannot guarantee that the trading volume will increase in the near future or that, even if it does increase in the future, it will be maintained. Without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in us. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the last 13 years. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will continue to retain any earnings for use in the operation of our business, except as required to pay dividends on the Series A convertible preferred stock. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, after consideration of any restrictions on cash dividends as defined by our credit and debt agreements, and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the Reform Act, provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf.

As of January 30, 2006, our board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution seeking shareholder approval to amend our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10 million shares of preferred stock. A copy of the form of amendment to our Articles of Incorporation is included in this information statement as Annex A. Our board of directors believes that this authorization is in our best interest in that it will provide us with shares of preferred stock that could be issued for various corporate purposes, as the board of directors determines in its discretion, including acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits, stock options, convertible debt and equity financings. Upon effectiveness of shareholder approval of the amendment and the private placement, we anticipate authorizing the creation of a series of preferred stock to be designated “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”. Most of the net proceeds of the private placement of the notes and the common stock warrants were used to complete the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. and repay certain bridge financing we incurred from CapitalSource to complete the Coastal acquisition. See Background to the Private Placement: The Acquisition and The Private Placement with respect to the terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock.

Article III of our Articles of Incorporation will be deleted in its entirety and replaced by a new Article III to read as follows:

The total number of shares of capital stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is Sixty Million (60,000,000) shares, consisting of Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of our common stock, par value $.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). All of said stock shall be payable in cash or property (real or personal), labor or services in lieu of cash, at a fair and just valuation to be fixed by the Board of Directors of this corporation. Article III hereof contains a description of the Preferred Stock and a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

A. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.

B. Voting Rights. Each holder of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock standing in such holder’s name on the books of this corporation.

C. Dividends. Subject to provisions of law, Article III of these Articles of Incorporation, and all senior rights of holders of Preferred Stock to participate in such dividends, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion.

D. Liquidation. Subject to provisions of law and Article III of these Articles of Incorporation, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after the payment or provisions for payment of all debts and liabilities of this corporation and all preferential amounts to which the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled with respect to the distribution of assets in liquidation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets of this corporation available for distribution.

1. Issuance of Preferred Stock in Classes or Series. The Preferred Stock of this corporation may be issued in one or more classes or series at such time or times and for such consideration as the Board of Directors of this corporation may determine. Each class or series shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other classes and series. Except as to the relative designations, preferences, powers, qualifications, rights and privileges referred to in this Article III, in respect of any or all of which there may be variations between different classes or series of Preferred Stock, all shares of Preferred Stock shall be identical. Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purpose of voting by classes unless otherwise specifically set forth herein.

2. Authority to Establish Variations Between Classes or Series of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of this corporation is expressly authorized, subject to the limitations prescribed by law and the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation, to provide, by adopting a resolution or resolutions, for the issuance of the undesignated Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series, each with such designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, special or relative rights and privileges as shall be stated in the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, which shall be filed in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act, and the resolutions of the Board of Directors creating such class or series. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each such class or series shall include, without limitation of the foregoing, the right to determine and fix:

(a) the distinctive designation of such class or series and the number of shares to constitute such class or series;

(b) the rate at which dividends on the shares of such class or series shall be declared and paid, or set aside for payment, whether dividends at the rate so determined shall be cumulative or accruing, and whether the shares of such class or series shall be entitled to any participating or other dividends in addition to dividends at the rate so determined, and if so, on what terms;

(c) the right or obligation, if any, of this corporation to redeem shares of the particular class or series of Preferred Stock and, if redeemable, the price, terms and manner of such redemption;

(d) the special and relative rights and preferences, if any, and the amount or amounts per share, which the shares of such class or series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation;

(e) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of such class or series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock of any other class or series, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment, if any;

(f) the obligation, if any, of this corporation to retire, redeem or purchase shares of such class or series pursuant to a sinking fund or fund of a similar nature or otherwise, and the terms and conditions of such obligation;

(g) voting rights, if any, including special voting rights with respect to the election of directors and matters adversely affecting any class or series of Preferred Stock;

(h) limitations, if any, on the issuance of additional shares of such class or series or any shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock; and

(i) such other preferences, powers, qualifications, special or relative rights and privileges thereof as the Board of Directors of this corporation, acting in accordance with these Articles of Incorporation, may deem advisable and are not inconsistent with law and the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation.”

The terms of the preferred stock will be fixed, from time to time, by our board of directors in its sole discretion. The holders of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock will be entitled to vote with respect to matters upon which holders of our common stock are entitled to vote as determined by our board of directors. Each series of preferred stock may have different voting rights, as determined by the board of directors.

In general, any issuance of shares of our preferred stock, dividends paid on our preferred stock in the form of our common stock, the common stock warrants and the common stock underlying any securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock, including the Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants, would dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share of existing holders of our common stock. This dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued. Our board of directors will be authorized to set the terms of each series of preferred stock, including awarding voting rights greater than those rights provided to holders of our common stock. Since our board of directors may authorize and issue series of preferred stock with voting rights greater than those of holders of our common stock, the effect may be to dilute, possibly substantially, the effective voting rights of the holders of our common stock.

Under Section 607.1302(2)(a) of the Florida Business Corporation Act, holders of our common stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to the actions described in this information statement or otherwise with respect to the authorization of a class of preferred stock, nor will such rights be voluntarily accorded to shareholders by us.

We anticipate the amendment will be effective twenty (20) days after the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders, which is September 20, 2006, or shortly thereafter.

The Amendment Of Our Articles Of Incorporation Has Not Been Approved Or Disapproved By The Securities And Exchange Commission, Nor Has The Securities And Exchange Commission Passed Upon The Fairness Or Merits Of The Amendment Or The Accuracy Or Adequacy Of The Information Contained In This Information Statement. Any Representation To The Contrary Is Unlawful.

Please Note That This Is Neither A Request For Your Vote Nor A Proxy Statement But Rather An Information Statement Designed To Provide You With Information About The Amendment And To Inform You That Our Articles Of Incorporation Will Be Amended.

On November 9, 2005, we entered into a merger agreement with Devcon Acquisition, Inc., or the Merger Sub, and Guardian International, Inc., or Guardian. A copy of the merger agreement is included in this information statement as Annex D.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, on March 6, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an aggregate cash price of $65.5 million, which consisted of approximately $24.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem both series of Guardian’s preferred stock, approximately $13.3 million used to assume and pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase consideration, approximately $3.3 million, has been placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon RMR and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian common shareholders are expected to receive a pro rata distribution from the escrowed amount approximately six months after the closing. We also repaid $8.0 million of bridge financing we incurred from CapitalSource in connection with the completion of the Coastal acquisition.

The completion of this acquisition resulted in Guardian becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devcon. The acquisition of Guardian substantially increases our electronic security services division and we believe propels us to a leadership position in the Florida electronic security services market. In addition, it moves our electronic security services division to a position in which it enjoys more predictable recurring revenues.

On August 12, 2004, Stephen J. Ruzika, then our Executive Vice President and currently our Chief Executive Officer and President, and John Danneberg, a vice president in our electronic security services division, met with Harold Ginsburg, the President and CEO of Guardian, and Joel Cohen, Vice President of Guardian and President of Mutual Central Alarm Services, Inc., to explore possible business opportunities. In a letter to Mr. Ginsburg dated August 18, 2004, Mr. Ruzika proposed a possible acquisition by us of the outstanding stock, or assets, of Guardian in a transaction structured to achieve an enterprise value in the range of $50 million, on a debt-free, working capital neutral basis, and subject to due diligence and other matters.

At a meeting held August 26, 2004, Guardian’s board of directors appointed a special committee of independent directors, consisting of David Heidecorn and William Remington, to analyze, evaluate and respond to the proposal. Following a meeting of the special committee of Guardian’s board of directors, counsel to this special committee, in a letter dated September 10, 2004, advised us that the special committee believed that the proposed terms did not maximize Guardian’s shareholder value and had determined not to proceed with our proposal.

In a letter dated October 14, 2004, Mr. Ruzika proposed that Devcon and Guardian discuss a possible transaction in which we would pay $2.25 per share for Guardian’s common stock, subject to due diligence and other matters. After further discussions and negotiations, we entered into an agreement with Guardian, dated December 8, 2004, which provided, among other things, for confidential treatment of information provided by Guardian to us.

On December, 17, 2004, Messrs. Ruzika and Danneberg and Richard C. Rochon, then a member of our board of directors and currently the Chairman of our board of directors, met with Mr. Ginsburg and Darius G. Nevin, a member of Guardian’s board of directors. At this meeting the parties discussed generally the mutually beneficial goals and synergies they believed could be accomplished through an acquisition of Guardian by Devcon. In particular, the general structure of such a transaction was discussed.

On January 28, 2005, our board of directors engaged an investment banking firm, with respect to a proposed sale of our equity or equity-linked securities, the proceeds of which our board of directors intended to use towards completion of our acquisition of Guardian.

Throughout January and February 2005, our representatives and representatives of the investment banking firm discussed potential terms for the proposed equity sale and representatives of the investment banking firm conducted preliminary due diligence reviews of our business. During this time, Guardian engaged USBX Advisory Services, LW (“UBSX”), an investment banking and financial advisory firm, to assist Guardian’s board of directors and the special committee of Guardian’s board of directors in evaluating our proposal.

On March 10, 2005, the confidentiality agreement entered into between us and Guardian was amended to, among other things, provide for a 45-day period during which Guardian could enter into discussions with up to eight other parties with respect to a possible business combination transaction in order to allow Guardian’s board of directors to satisfy their fiduciary duties to Guardian’s stockholders.

On April 26, 2005, our board of directors engaged Lehman Brothers, Inc., an investment banking and financial advisory firm, to act as its financial advisor with respect to pursuing the acquisition of Guardian.

On April 28, 2005, the confidentiality agreement between us and Guardian was further amended to provide for an additional 30-day period during which Guardian could negotiate with us and another party. During this process, USBX continued discussions with Lehman Brothers in an effort to improve our proposal. Ultimately, discussions with other parties, which continued through early May 2005, did not result in a preliminary proposal for or indication of interest in an acquisition of Guardian that, in the opinion of the special committee of Guardian’s board of directors, with the advice of USBX, would be likely to provide a purchase price to Guardian’s shareholders that was superior to that proposed by us.

Following further discussions between representatives of Devcon and Guardian, in a letter dated June 6, 2005, Mr. Ruzika confirmed our conditional offer of $2.65 per share for the outstanding shares of Guardian, subject to additional due diligence, and the negotiation of a definitive agreement with specific provisions.

Mr. Heidecorn responded to us, on behalf of the special committee of Guardian’s board of directors, in a letter dated June 11, 2005, indicating that Guardian would be prepared to pursue discussions of a transaction based on a purchase price of $65.2 million, including (a) a $3.0 million deposit to be paid upon signing a definitive acquisition agreement, (b) an escrow of 5% of the purchase price, or approximately $3.3 million, as security for certain indemnity obligations to last for a term of six months, (c) the discharge of certain debts and expenses of Guardian, and (d) increases or decreases in this purchase price based upon Guardian’s RMR and net working capital at closing.

In a letter dated June 22, 2005, Mr. Ruzika provided further details on our conditional offer, including a maximum purchase price of $65.2 million, including a $3.0 million deposit, subject to discharge of certain debt and expenses, an escrow of 5% to 7.5% of the purchase price for certain indemnity obligations to last for a term of 6 to 9 months, and possible increases or decreases in the purchase price based upon RMR and net working capital. Additionally, all debt reductions or a reduction in other liabilities up to and through the closing would inure to the shareholders, which could represent approximately $0.22-$0.33 per share.

In a letter dated July 5, 2005, Mr. Heidecorn responded with an outline of the terms the special committee of Guardian’s board of directors was prepared to recommend to Guardian’s full board of directors, which were substantially similar to those outlined in Mr. Heidecorn’s letter dated June 11, 2005.

From July through October 2005, discussions and negotiations continued between our representatives and Guardian, and their respective financial advisors, including a face-to-face meeting between Mr. Rochon and Mr. Ginsburg at which definitive terms were discussed and additional due diligence was conducted by us. In early August 2005, a draft of a definitive agreement and plan of merger was proposed by us. In addition, on August 12, 2005, Mr. Ruzika reported to our board of directors as to the value and synergies he believed Devcon would realize if Devcon acquired Guardian and Coastal, collapsing three monitoring and management centers into one and consolidating the talent of the candidates and their respective sales forces and anticipated growth.

On October 21, 2005, Lehman Brothers rendered its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) to our board of directors that as of such date and, based upon and subject to certain matters stated therein, from a financial point of view, assuming a maximum aggregate cash consideration of $65.5 million, the consideration to be paid by us in the merger was fair to us. A copy of the written opinion letter is included in this information statement as Annex H. Devcon’s board of directors posed several questions to Lehman Brothers based on its analysis. Also, at this meeting, Mr. Ruzika also reviewed the current activities of Devcon’s electronic security services division, providing certain operating statistics and describing the structure of the electronic security services division after the proposed acquisitions. Devcon’s board of directors engaged in numerous questions concerning the performance of the electronic security division as well as the operations of Guardian and Coastal. In particular, Devcon’s board of directors discussed with Mr. Ruzika Devcon’s strategy for maximizing synergies which were believed to be significant and discussed the over-arching concept of making Devcon’s electronic

security services division super-regional by expanding its platform. Mr. Ruzika also indicated Lehman Brothers had been selected because it was considered a preeminent investment bank with respect to transactions concerning the electronic security services industry. Towards the end of this meeting, the board of directors discussed the financing of the proposed acquisitions. Finally, at the end of this meeting Devcon’s board of directors approved the merger agreement, with Jim Cast dissenting.

Negotiations between Devcon and Guardian over the terms of the definitive agreement and ancillary documents continued through early November, during which final terms were agreed and resulted, among other things, in an increase in the maximum purchase price (before adjustments) from $65.2 to $65.5 million and an elimination of a price increase based upon Guardian’s RMR at closing.

At meetings of Guardian’s board of directors and the special committee of Guardian’s board of directors held on November 8, 2005, Guardian’s full board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement.

At a meeting of our board of directors held on November 9, 2005, our board of directors discussed the terms of and approved the CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility and the CapitalSource Bridge Loan, the proceeds of which were understood to fund the Coastal acquisition and, in part, fund the Guardian acquisition. Our board of directors also authorized management to continue discussions with an investment banking firm regarding the completion of a private placement of our equity or equity-linked securities, the proceeds of which would be used to fund the Guardian acquisition.

As of November 9, 2005, Guardian and Devcon entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

During November 2005, our representatives, our counsel, representatives of the investment banking firm engaged by us and counsel for the investment banking firm prepared various documentation, including a confidential private placement memorandum for purposes of selling shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately $45 million.

Throughout December 2005, our representatives and the investment banking firm discussed the proposed terms of the private placement of common stock with various potential investors under the terms of a confidentiality agreement. Through these discussions and after consultation with the investment banking firm, our management concluded current market conditions were such that it would be in our best interest to conduct a sale of preferred equity that was convertible into shares of our common stock, as well as warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately $45 million. In addition, our counsel advised our management that shareholder approval would be required under Nasdaq rules because the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock and exercise of the warrants was anticipated to exceed 20% of our outstanding common stock.

Throughout January 2006, the investment bank solicited proposals to purchase shares of our preferred stock from potential investors. After discussions between our representatives, the investment bank and potential investors, we subsequently received several written indications of interest in an investment into us by such potential investors. Our representatives and the investment bank discussed the proposed terms with each of the potential investors and based on numerous factors, including the economic terms and the time required to complete an investment, our board of directors selected the financing proposal set forth by funds managed by HBK Investments, which entailed the issuance of Series A convertible preferred stock with a liquidation preference equal to $45 million. Following the negotiations of the material terms of the financing, the investment bank contacted a select number of other potential investors to increase the aggregate size of the financing to $45 million of gross proceeds.

On January 23, 2006, our board of directors met to discuss the proposed preferred stock offering. Discussions among the board of directors included the fact that the transaction would not improve the liquidity of

our common stock but ultimately concluded that the preferred stock offering was an optimal structure for raising

the necessary funds and closing the Guardian transaction in a timely manner. The board of directors also discussed its assessment that the $45 million size of the preferred stock offering was a positive one for Devcon. In additional, counsel for Devcon discussed the Nasdaq requirements for shareholder approval due to the number of shares of our common stock into which the Series A convertible preferred stock could convert.

On January 30, 2006, Devcon’s board of directors again discussed the proposed preferred stock offering. Mr. Ruzika discussed the results of a roadshow he and Robert Farenhem, the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer, had completed and the process by which the terms of the preferred stock offering had evolved in the course of discussions with the various prospective investors. Mr. Ruzika and Mr. Farenhem then reviewed the material terms of the proposed preferred stock offering. Finally the board discussed whether it would be necessary to revise the structure further to allow Devcon to complete the Guardian transaction in accordance with the timing set forth in the Guardian merger agreement. Devcon’s board of directors then approved the terms of the preferred stock offering, including authorization, to the extent determined by management to be necessary, to revise the structure to accommodate the timing of the Guardian acquisition.

In early February, the parties determined it would be in our best interest to initially issue promissory notes that could be exchanged into shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The parties concluded that our bylaws and articles of incorporation, applicable law in the State of Florida and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission permitted our board of directors to authorize the issuance of the promissory notes without shareholder approval. Accordingly, the parties believed the issuance of the promissory notes could be conducted and we could receive the proceeds from the issuance immediately, without delay, and would allow us to complete the Guardian acquisition in a timely manner, preventing Devcon from having to forfeit the $3 million deposit required under the Guardian merger agreement. Ultimately, because the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market permitted issuance of the warrants so long as the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants was subject to a 20% limitation and the investors desired to receive the economic benefits of the transaction as early as possible, the parties agreed to issue the warrants required to be issued in connection with the transaction simultaneously with the issuance of the promissory notes so long as the common stock issuance limitation described above was preserved. The parties understood that upon obtaining shareholder approval that was effective under Florida law and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Series A convertible preferred stock would be issued in exchange for the promissory notes. Ultimately, the Series A convertible preferred stock is the security preferred by the investors due to its similar periodic payment obligations and preference rights with respect to our assets upon our liquidation coupled with an opportunity by the investors to participate in our equity should we be successful in implementing our business plan.

Accordingly, at a meeting of our board of directors held on January 30, 2006, our board of directors approved the terms of a $45 million private placement of up to 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and three year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share of our common stock. In connection with the private placement, our board of directors also approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10 million shares of preferred stock, of which 45,000 shares would be designated Series A convertible preferred stock. On February 10, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement in the form included in this information statement as Annex E, with three private equity funds - HBK Main Street Investments L.P., a fund affiliated with HBK Investments, Castlerigg Master Investments, Ltd., a fund affiliated with Sandell Asset Management and CS Equity II LLC, a fund affiliated with Capital Source Finance LLC. On March 6, 2006, we completed the issuance of the promissory notes and the warrants to these three investors. In order to effect this issuance we relied upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D.

The parties structured the promissory notes and Series A convertible preferred stock so that the two securities would provide substantially similar economic benefits to the investors. For example, the aggregate principal amount of the promissory notes is $45,000,000, which is identical to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series A convertible preferred stock. Furthermore, the interest rate on the promissory notes is

8%, the dividend rate on the Series A convertible preferred. In addition, the promissory notes effectively mature when the Series A convertible preferred stock is issued so as to ensure seamless periodic payments under both instruments to the investors. The restrictive covenants, default provisions and change of control premiums provided for under the promissory notes are substantially similar to the comparable provisions of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The promissory notes are unsecured and rank on a pari passu basis with respect to our other unsecured debt whereas the Series A convertible preferred stock ranks senior only to our other equity securities.

The material differences between the promissory notes and the Series A convertible preferred stock consist of specified rights which the investors will enjoy once they become holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock as opposed to when they held the promissory notes. These rights consist of (i) conversion rights which permit the holder to convert the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $9.54 for every $1,000 of liquidation preference, which equates to all 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock being convertible into 4,716,981 shares of our common stock, (ii) voting rights based upon the number of shares of our common stock into which the Series A convertible preferred stock may convert, (iii) redemption rights granted to both us and the holders of the series A convertible rights, which may be exercised by the respective parties under specified circumstances and (iv) mandatory redemption of the Series A convertible preferred stock, which permits the holders to obtain a return of their investment in three annual installments beginning on the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock.

Accordingly, we believe that, with the exception of the ability to convert their investment and receive equity in our Company, the economic position of the investors will remain substantially unchanged after exchanging the promissory notes for shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock. However, as illustrated above, the investors will obtain voting rights allowing them greater input into our decision-making processes.

For a description of the material terms of the securities purchase agreement, the promissory notes, the Series A convertible preferred stock and the warrants, see “Description of the Securities Purchase Agreement,” “Description of the Promissory Notes,” “Terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” and “Terms of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock”, which sections appear under “Private Placement”.

In addition to the above, there were numerous other telephonic discussions among various members of the respective working groups as well as face-to-face sessions at which the remaining terms of the merger and the private placement were agreed. The structure and terms of the merger and the private placement were determined by our board of directors and management. In connection with deciding to approve the final structure and terms of the merger, our board of directors obtained a fairness opinion from Lehman Brothers that the consideration we paid in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to our shareholders.

Description of Devcon International Corp., Devcon Acquisition, Inc. and Guardian International, Inc. prior to completion of our acquisition of Guardian International, Inc.

Devcon International Corp. was incorporated in Florida in 1951 as Zinke-Smith, Inc. and adopted its present name in October 1971. Our stock has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market System since March 1972. Today, Devcon is a holding company that has three major operating divisions: electronic security services, construction and materials.

security systems, as well as the installation of new monitored security systems added to our installed base, both in residential and commercial buildings. We provide these services through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“DSH”). With the 2005 acquisitions of Adelphia Communications’ electronic security services operations and Coastal Security Company (“Coastal”) combined with our acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) on March 6, 2006, which is discussed below, these assets include modern, full service monitoring centers in Hollywood, Florida, Boca Raton, Florida and New York, New York from which an aggregate of more than approximately 250,000 customers are monitored, of which 130,000 are retail accounts and 120,000 are wholesale accounts where the Company monitors a third-party security company’s customers. On June 26, 2006, we sold our Boca Raton-based third party monitoring operation and the associated Boca Raton monitoring center that we acquired from Coastal Security Systems to Lydia Security Monitoring, Inc., a New York corporation, operating under the name C.O.P.S. Monitoring, for $5.0 million in cash. During the next few months, Devcon and Lydia will be having discussions as to the terms and conditions under which the remaining third party recurring monthly revenue may be acquired by Lydia. As a result of this transaction, Devcon will now operate from two monitoring center locations, one in Hollywood, Florida and the other in New York City.

Our construction division performs earthmoving, excavating, and filling operations, builds golf courses, roads, and utility infrastructures, dredges waterways and constructs deep-water piers and marinas, primarily in the Caribbean. We have historically provided these development services to both private enterprises and government agencies.

Our materials division produces and distributes ready-mix concrete, crushed stone, sand, concrete block, and asphalt and distributes bagged cement on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten and St. Martin. On September 30, 2005 we sold our materials operations on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix; on March 2, 2006, we sold our Antigua quarry and materials aggregate operations; and on May 2, 2006 we sold the fixed assets and substantially all of the inventory of our joint venture in Puerto Rico.

For further information regarding our electronic security services division, our construction division and our materials division as well as information concerning our financial condition and results of operations see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The Annual Report and the Quarterly Reports are included in this information statement as Annex G.

The Merger Sub was incorporated on October 19, 2005 for the purpose of acquiring Guardian. As such, the Merger Sub was a new enterprise with no operating history. On March 6, 2006, the Merger Sub merged with and into Guardian, with Guardian continuing as the surviving corporation.

The description below discusses Guardian’s business prior to our acquisition of its operations on March 6, 2006.

Guardian International, Inc. is a provider of monitoring (retail and wholesale), maintenance services, sales and installation of electronic security and fire alarm systems to commercial and residential customers primarily in the states of Florida and New York.

Guardian’s predecessor, Everest Security Systems Corporation, was incorporated in Nevada in October 1986, and merged with Guardian International, Inc., a Florida corporation, on August 28, 1996. Following the merger, Guardian International, Inc. became the successor, and its officers and directors assumed the

responsibilities, of Everest’s former management. In July 1999, Guardian became incorporated in the state of Florida.

Guardian was ranked among the top 20 (top one percentile) security monitoring companies in the United States by Security Distributing and Marketing Magazine, or SDM Magazine, based on gross revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Guardian’s core business strategies include: (i) generating new electronic security systems monitoring and service contracts through its own sales and installation efforts; and (ii) selectively acquiring existing electronic security systems monitoring contracts from independent security systems dealers or through the acquisition of entire companies in the industry.

Beginning in 1999, Guardian’s internal sales efforts have been responsible for most of Guardian’s RMR growth. Most of Guardian’s new RMR from internal sales efforts comes from commercial accounts and from newly constructed homes in planned communities. With respect to the its second core business strategy, Guardian has acquired more than thirty electronic security systems companies and/or portfolios of customer monitoring contracts from independent electronic security systems dealers since 1994.

Guardian provides retail and wholesale monitoring services to its customers. Retail monitoring services are provided to those customers who Guardian has established through direct internal sales and installation efforts, as well as acquisitions. Wholesale monitoring services are provided to customers of third party electronic security systems companies and Guardian offers these companies additional services, such as off-site data entry and account maintenance, automated account history, testing, marketing and technical support.

Guardian operates two central monitoring centers, one of which is located in Hollywood, Florida and the other of which is located in New York City, New York. Each central monitoring center is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., or UL. The Hollywood central monitoring center is also listed by a second independent testing agency, Factory Mutual. From these monitoring stations, Guardian monitors commercial facilities and residences for burglary, fire alarm, environmental and other events through its technologically-advanced security monitoring systems. If an security condition is detected, a signal is transmitted over telephone and/or radio transmission to Guardian’s central monitoring center. Where the conditions require verification and/or dispatch action, Guardian’s human operators react in accordance with standard procedures.

Guardian also monitors opening and closing schedules for Guardian’s commercial customers. Commercial customers have the option of receiving periodic reports reflecting the date, time, action and employee name with respect to each opening or closing activity during the relevant period. The reports can be sent to any location around the world via mail, facsimile or email. Guardian services its Northeast commercial customers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mutual Central Alarm Services, Inc. and STAT-LAND Burglar Alarm Devices, Inc., Mutual’s wholly-owned subsidiary, both of which were acquired by Guardian in 1998. Mutual provides services to high-end retail businesses, financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies. STAT-LAND provides services to retail businesses, financial institutions and residential customers.

Guardian has typically installed electronic security and fire alarm systems for its commercial and residential customers. These systems can range in complexity from simple alarm panels interfaced with one or two sensors to highly integrated access control and closed circuit television, or CCTV, systems.

Most of the security systems-related products sold by Guardian have been manufactured or distributed by subsidiaries of Honeywell International, Inc. and by Detection Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Guardian has sold a variety of brands of access control and CCTV, depending upon the specific application needed by the customer.

A strong service and maintenance capability is an important element in maintaining good customer relations and low attrition. Guardian has provided responsive service to its customers whose electronic security and fire alarm systems require repair or upgrading. Depending on the nature of the problem and the customer, such services typically have been provided within 24 to 48 hours.

Advances in digital communications technology permit the monitoring of customer accounts over a wide geographic area from a central monitoring center. In addition, the concurrent development of microprocessor-based control panels has reduced the cost of equipment available to the customers in the commercial and residential markets. Digital technology has also enabled equipment manufacturers to build more features into security systems, such as remote user interface, lighting and heat controls and user programming features. The improvements in technology have substantially increased the economies of scale and reduced costs for electronic security systems companies like Guardian.

We believe that Guardian utilizes automated monitoring systems that are the same as or comparable to those systems utilized by some of the largest electronic security services providers. Each of Guardian’s security systems monitoring centers is equipped with equipment that has enabled Guardian to receive, analyze, and process information from security and fire alarm, temperature-sensing, video, and access control systems located at customer sites. Guardian has been, in most cases, also perform remote diagnostics for many customers from the control center. The automation equipment also has enabled Guardian to process accounting information, service and maintenance information, and scheduled compliance requirements required by Guardian’s customers. Guardian’s central monitoring systems have had the capacity to monitor up to approximately 250,000 customers with moderate upgrades to the storage and processor capacity of its existing hardware system. Moreover, the operating facility would require minimal physical changes to accommodate such a volume of accounts.

Guardian has invested annually in monitoring hardware upgrades to keep up with technological advances. These enhancements have enabled Guardian to link its New York City, Staten Island, Tampa, and Miami offices into the main system. Furthermore, Guardian has a number of web sites (www.GuardianInternational.com, www.4Mutual.com, www.STAT-LAND.com, www.GoAccessControl.com, www.95cam.com) that have been used for both informational purposes and marketing, as well as sites where customers can make routine requests for small items, request service, and order additional security equipment. These enhancements have enabled a large part of Guardian to share one customer database and to improve its efficiency in the areas of monitoring, service routing, and internal communication.

Guardian has utilized Monitoring Automated Systems, Inc. (a subsidiary of General Electric), or MAS, software for its automation, service and billing system. MAS technology has provided Guardian with the ability to automate numerous aspects of information that were previously processed manually. In addition, such technological advancements as the provision of alphanumeric security indications have provided Guardian with the ability to process data efficiently with little or no human interaction.

Beginning in 1999, Guardian’s internal sales efforts were responsible for most of Guardian’s RMR growth. Guardian had various marketing programs in place intended to generate new monitoring customers and upgrade existing customers with additional services. Guardian established a significant relationship with its supplier of electronic security system equipment, First Alert Professional^™. This relationship led to a variety of joint marketing programs, which enhanced Guardian’s direct sales efforts.

Guardian also expanded its line of services and products. For instance, in 2000, Guardian introduced www.GoAccessControl.com, an Internet-based service for managing access control systems. Guardian continued to maintain an expansive web presence for marketing information about Guardian and its capabilities and used services based on the Internet to differentiate itself from its competition.

In 2001, Guardian’s marketing activities consisted primarily of acting on referrals with the in-house subscriber base and a limited amount of advertising and direct mail solicitations. Guardian’s employees have been members of industry and community organizations to enhance Guardian’s reputation with influential business and community leaders.

Guardian owns U.S. federal trademark registrations for the marks GIBRALTAR SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS^® and PREPARE AND PROTECT^®, each as used with installation and maintenance of burglar electronic security systems, fire alarms, home and commercial security systems, voice intercom systems and closed circuit television and card access systems, as well as a U.S. federal trademark registration for its SECURITY BY GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL and G logo^® as used with installation, monitoring and maintenance of voice intercom systems and closed circuit television and card access systems. Additionally, Guardian owns State of Florida trademark registrations for its GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY and G logo as well as its G logo, each for use with installation, monitoring and maintenance of burglar electronic security systems, fire alarms, home and commercial security systems, and installation and maintenance of voice intercom systems, as well as a State of Florida trademark registration for PRECISION SECURITY SYSTEMS as used with commercial and residential electronic security system sales, service and monitoring. Currently, there are no pending or threatened litigation or claims relating to Guardian’s trademarks. Also, to the best of our, there are no unasserted possible claims or assessments that may call for financial disclosure. No assurances can be given that third parties will not attempt to assert superior trademark rights in similar marks or that we will be able to successfully enforce and protect our rights in the trademarks against third party infringers.

At June 30, 2006, Guardian employed approximately 250 full-time employees, 16 of whom are members of a union.

Guardian has not conducted any research and development activity. Guardian needed to dispose of many batteries, which constitute environmentally sensitive waste. The used batteries have been stored in Guardian’s warehouses until such time as they were transported to a recycling center for disposal.

Guardian has leased its corporate headquarters from Guardian Investments, a Florida partnership owned by Harold and Sheilah Ginsburg, both of whom are directors, officers and principal shareholders of Guardian. Guardian’s corporate headquarters have occupied a 12,000 square foot building, which houses a central monitoring center, offices and warehouse facilities, located in Hollywood, Florida. The lease expires on December 31, 2007, with a renewal option for an additional five years under the same terms and conditions. The annual rent is approximately $240,636, with annual increases not to exceed three percent (3%). For 2004, the rent increased at the allowed 3% rate. The terms of the lease have been no less favorable to Guardian than those which could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

Guardian has leased space in New York, New York from an independent third party. The lease expires in December 2009, with a renewal option for an additional five years under the same terms and conditions. The 3,500 square feet of leased space houses a central monitoring center, offices and warehouse facilities. The annual rent is approximately $117,000.

Guardian also has leased office space in Miami and Tampa, Florida and in Staten Island, New York. The leases expire on various dates through July 2008 and most are renewable at the option of Guardian. The aggregate annual rent for these three facilities is approximately $159,443.

Guardian has experienced routine litigation in the normal conduct of its business. We believe that any such pending litigation will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Guardian’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Guardian’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion has been prepared by the management of Guardian International, Inc. and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this information statement. The financial data presented below for, and as of the end of, the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are derived from Guardian’s audited financial statements which are included in this information statement as Annex F.

Guardian’s core business strategies include: (i) generating new alarm monitoring and service contracts through its own sales and installation efforts; and (ii) selectively acquiring existing alarm monitoring contracts from independent alarm dealers or through the acquisition of entire companies in the industry. Beginning in 1999, Guardian’s internal sales efforts have been responsible for most of Guardian’s growth in recurring monthly revenue, or RMR. Most of Guardian’s new RMR from internal sales efforts comes from commercial accounts and from newly constructed homes in planned communities. With respect to the its second core business strategy, Guardian has acquired more than thirty alarm companies and/or portfolios of customer monitoring contracts from independent alarm dealers since 1994, and continues to consider selective acquisitions with RMR portfolios, should they be accretive to shareholder value.

Total revenues increased 0.8% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to approximately $27.7 million from approximately $27.4 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This increase in revenues was due primarily to an increase in monitoring revenue on a larger base of recurring revenue contracts offset by lower levels of installation revenue in our commercial business unit in Florida. This revenues increase, offset by operating expenses discussed below, resulted in operating income in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 of approximately $2.4 million compared to approximately $0.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $1.7 million.

Gross margin, defined as total revenues from monitoring, and installation and service, less their related costs, increased by 7.6% to $18.0 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, compared to $16.7 million for the corresponding period in 2004. Gross margin from monitoring revenues increased 5.4% to $14.0 million in 2005 from $13.3 million in 2004, while gross margin from installation and service revenues increased 15.9% to $4.0 million from $3.4 million for the same comparable periods.

The gross margin percentage on monitoring revenues increased to 85.9% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from 84.9% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and was due to higher revenue generated with significantly unchanged expenses. Installation and service gross margin percentage increased to 35.9% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from 29.7% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and was due primarily to lower costs of materials as well as a decrease in the use of subcontracted labor in the comparative periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1.3% to $9.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $9.0 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to an increase in legal and accounting fees.

Amortization of customer accounts decreased 19.7% to $3.0 million in the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2005 compared to $3.7 million in the comparable period in 2004. The decrease reflects declining acquisition activity in recent years.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 6.3% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 to approximately $3.7 million compared to $3.5 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This increase is due to continued efforts to add recurring contracts through internal sales programs which require increased selling and installation costs which in accordance with SAB 104 are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the customer contract which we approximate as eight years.

Interest expense decreased 12.0% to $1.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from $1.3 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a lower average senior facility obligation than in 2004.

Total revenues increased 8.3% in 2004 to approximately $27.4 million from approximately $25.3 million. This increase in revenues was due primarily to more commercial sales activity in both Florida and New York as well as a higher level of monitoring revenue from a larger base of recurring revenue contracts. This revenue increase, offset by operating expenses discussed below, resulted in operating income in 2004 of approximately $0.7 million compared to an operating loss in 2003 of approximately $0.1 million.

Gross margin, defined as total revenues from monitoring, and installation and service, less their related costs, increased by 6.3% to $16.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $15.7 million for the corresponding period in 2003. Gross margin from monitoring revenues increased 4.9% to $13.3 million in 2004 from $12.7 million in 2003, while gross margin from installation and service revenues increased 12.3% to $3.4 million from $3.1 million for the same comparable period

The gross margin percentage on both monitoring revenue and installation and service revenue were materially unchanged from 2003 to 2004 at 85% and 30%, respectively.

Amortization of customer accounts was down in 2004 to approximately $3.7 million from $4.0 million in 2003. The decrease reflects declining acquisition activity in recent years.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in 2004 to approximately $3.5 million compared to $3.2 million in 2003. This increase is due to efforts to add recurring contracts through internal sales programs which require increased selling and installation costs which in accordance with SAB 104 are capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the customer contract which we approximate as eight years.

Interest expense increased 20% to $1.3 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 from $1.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The increase in interest expense is attributable to an increase in the amended senior facility in 2004 which resulted in a higher average obligation than in 2003.

As of December 31, 2005, Guardian has an accumulated deficit of approximately $37.7 million and negative working capital of approximately $3.9 million. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2005, Guardian believes it will maintain the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future operations of the business. Generally, cash flows will be generated from a combination of: (i) recurring revenue from its security monitoring customer base, and (ii) Guardian’s existing $25.0 million credit facility, subject to compliance with the provisions of the debt covenants. As of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Guardian believes it was in compliance with all of the provisions of these debt covenants. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, Guardian has paid down its senior facility by approximately $4.4 million from its available cash flow. At December 31, 2005, there was approximately $10.8 million of excess availability under this credit facility.

Operating Cash Flows for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005 and the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004

Cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $5.4 million compared to approximately $3.9 million for the same period in 2004, or a $1.5 million increase. The primary sources of the increase for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were net income of approximately $0.8 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.6 million. For the comparable period in 2004, a net loss of approximately $0.7 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.9 million were primary uses of cash for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

Cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 were approximately $3.9 million compared to approximately $4.2 million for the same period in 2003. The net loss, which is a use of cash for both periods, decreased to approximately $0.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 from approximately $1.4 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. Additional uses of cash in 2004 were increases in accounts and installments receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. In 2003, both accounts and installments receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses were sources of cash of approximately $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Investing Cash Flows for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005 and the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.4 million in the twelve months of 2005 compared to approximately $1.6 million in the comparable period of 2004. Purchases of property and equipment were approximately $0.1 million in the twelve months of 2005 compared to approximately $0.4 million in the twelve months of 2004. Purchases of customer accounts were approximately $0.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared to approximately $0.8 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Capitalized costs related to customer installations, a use of cash, decreased to approximately $4.5 million in 2005 compared to approximately $4.7 million in 2004. Unearned revenues related to customer installations, a source of cash, was unchanged at $4.4 million for both 2005 and 2004.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.6 million in the twelve months of 2004 compared to approximately $1.1 million in the comparable period of 2003. Purchases of property and equipment were approximately $0.4 million in 2004 compared to approximately $0.2 million in 2003. Purchases of customer accounts were approximately $0.8 million in 2004 compared to approximately $0.3 million in 2003. Capitalized costs related to customer installations increased to approximately $4.7 million in 2004 compared to approximately $4.2 million in 2003. Unearned revenues related to customer installations, a source of cash from investing activities, increased to approximately $4.4 million in 2004 compared to approximately $3.6 million in 2003.

Financing Cash Flows for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005 and the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004

Net cash used by financing activities was approximately $5.1 million for the twelve months of 2005 compared to approximately $3.8 million for the twelve months of 2004. These uses of cash are primarily all payments, net of borrowings, against Guardian’s revolving senior credit facility and payment of dividends on Guardian’s preferred stock.

Net cash used by financing activities was approximately $3.8 million for 2004 compared to approximately $1.2 million for 2003. In 2004, this use of cash is primarily all payments, net of borrowings, against Guardian’s revolving senior credit facility and payment of dividends on Guardian’s preferred stock.

We believe that the acquisition of Guardian was in the best interests of our shareholders because Guardian has a combination of significant density within our primary target market of the Southeastern United States, as well as a more diversified customer base. More specifically, Guardian’s commercial clients constitute a larger percentage of its customer base than that of DSSC, Starpoint or Coastal, which we believe will enable us to obtain a more significant foothold on the commercial marketplace. In addition, the Guardian acquisition adds to our facilities two, full-service UL monitoring centers located in Hollywood, Florida and New York City which have the capacity to monitor up to 250,000 customers and which we believe can be easily upgraded to accommodate significantly more customers. Ultimately, we believe the combination of our current operations with those of Guardian creates an enterprise that is well-positioned to compete in the Florida and New York City security markets and provides a more opportunistic model for our operations. We believe the acquisition of Guardian provides us with the following benefits:

Additionally, in concluding that the acquisition was fair to, and in the best interests of our shareholders, including unaffiliated shareholders, our board of directors considered the following information relating to the acquisition:

Our board of directors also considered potentially negative factors relating to the acquisition, including:

Our management, together with Guardian’s principals conducted negotiations for the acquisition of Guardian, and our board of directors has considered whether, and believes that, this acquisition would be in our best interests.

In reaching its final determination to approve the merger agreement and the related private placement, our board of directors consulted with senior management and our financial and legal advisors, including Lehman Brothers, Inc., who issued a fairness opinion, included in this information statement as Annex H, that the consideration we are paying for the Guardian acquisition is fair, from a financial point of view, to our shareholders, and considered a number of factors, including other potential strategic alternatives, other targets, the opportunities and challenges facing us and the terms of the proposed acquisition and private placement. These and other factors led the board of directors to determine that the acquisition of Guardian is in the best interests of our shareholders. With the exception of James R. Cast, a former director of ours who voted against the acquisition, each member of our board of directors on January 30, 2006 voted in favor of and approved the acquisition.

In April 2005, our board of directors engaged Lehman Brothers to act as our financial advisor with respect to pursuing an acquisition of Guardian. On October 21, 2005, Lehman Brothers rendered its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) to our board of directors that as of such date and, based upon and subject to certain matters stated therein, the consideration to be paid by Devcon in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Devcon.

The full text of Lehman Brothers’ written opinion, dated October 21, 2005, or the Lehman Brothers Opinion, is included as Annex H in this information statement. You may read this opinion for a discussion of the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations upon the review undertaken by Lehman Brothers in rendering its opinion. The following is a summary of the Lehman Brothers Opinion and the methodology that Lehman Brothers used to render its fairness opinion.

Lehman Brothers’ advisory services and opinion were provided for the information and assistance of our board of directors in connection with its consideration of the merger. Lehman Brothers was not requested to opine as to, and the Lehman Brothers Opinion does not address, our underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the merger or the restructuring of our business operations, or our ability or the method utilized to finance the merger.

In addition, Lehman Brothers had discussions with the managements of Devcon and Guardian concerning their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, financial conditions and prospects and undertook such other studies, analyses and investigations as Lehman Brothers deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Lehman Brothers assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by Lehman Brothers without assuming any responsibility for independent verification of such information and further relied upon the assurances of managements of Guardian and Devcon that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the Guardian projections, upon advice of Devcon, Lehman Brothers assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Devcon as to the future financial performance of Guardian and that Guardian will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. With respect to the Devcon projections, upon advice of Devcon, Lehman Brothers assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Devcon as to the future financial performance of Devcon and that Devcon will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. However, for purposes of its analysis, Lehman Brothers also considered certain somewhat more conservative assumptions and estimates which resulted in certain adjustments to the Guardian projections. We refer to these projections as the adjusted Guardian projections. Lehman Brothers discussed the adjusted Guardian projections with the management of Devcon and they agreed with the appropriateness of the use of, and Lehman Brothers relied on, these adjusted Guardian projections in performing its analysis. With respect to the expected synergies, Lehman Brothers assumed that the amount and timing of the expected synergies were reasonable and that the expected synergies would be realized substantially in accordance with these estimates.

In arriving at its opinion, Lehman Brothers conducted only a limited physical inspection of the properties and facilities of Guardian and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Guardian. The Lehman Brothers Opinion necessarily was based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of this opinion.

In connection with rendering its opinion, Lehman Brothers performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses as described below. In arriving at its opinion, Lehman Brothers did not ascribe a specific range of value to Guardian, but rather made its determination as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Devcon of the consideration to be paid by Devcon in the merger on the basis of financial and comparative analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial and comparative analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances, and therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Furthermore, in arriving at its opinion, Lehman Brothers did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Lehman Brothers believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its opinion. In its analyses, Lehman Brothers made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Devcon and Guardian. None of Devcon, Guardian, Lehman Brothers or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses were not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth therein. In addition, analyses relating to the value of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses actually may be sold.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses used by Lehman Brothers in connection with providing its opinion to our board of directors. Certain of the summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses used by Lehman Brothers, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Accordingly, the analyses listed in the tables and described below must be considered as a whole. Considering any portion of such analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying the Lehman Brothers Opinion.

The comparable transactions analysis provided a market benchmark based on the consideration paid in certain precedent transactions selected by Lehman Brothers. Lehman Brothers reviewed certain publicly available information on twelve transactions involving target companies that Lehman Brothers deemed comparable to Guardian. The following transactions were included in Lehman Brothers’ analysis:

Lehman Brothers compared the enterprise value, defined as the sum of short and long term debt, the market value of diluted common equity, the value of any preferred stock (at liquidation value) and the book value of any minority interest, less cash and cash equivalents, of the target companies in each of the selected transactions as multiples of such target company’s latest twelve months, or LTM, revenue, LTM earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and recurring monthly revenues, or RMR. All multiples were based on financial information regarding each of the target companies that was publicly available at the time the relevant transactions were announced. Lehman Brothers also calculated the implied multiples in the merger using Guardian’s enterprise value to each of its LTM revenue, LTM EBITDA and RMR. The following table demonstrates these multiples for the selected comparable transactions, as well as the implied multiples in the merger.

Lehman Brothers selected a range of multiples from the comparable transactions analysis of 7x to 8x LTM EBITDA and 35x to 60x RMR. Lehman Brothers then applied these multiples to the corresponding data of Guardian and derived implied value ranges of $59 to $67 million based on LTM EBITDA and $50 to $85 million based on RMR. Lehman Brothers noted that the $65.5 million of merger consideration was within the ranges of the results yielded by the comparable transactions analysis.

Because of the inherent differences between the business, operations and prospects of Guardian and the business, operations and prospects of the companies included in the comparable transactions analysis, Lehman Brothers believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the comparable transactions analysis and accordingly also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the reasons for and circumstances surrounding the merger and the transactions included in the comparable transactions analysis that would affect the acquisition values of Guardian and the acquired companies.

As part of its analysis, Lehman Brothers prepared a discounted after-tax cash flow model that was based upon the Guardian projections. Lehman Brothers used discount rates of 11% to 13% and a terminal value based on a range of multiples of estimated RMR in 2015 of 42.5x to 47.5x. Based on these discount rates and terminal values, Lehman Brothers calculated the implied enterprise value of Guardian at approximately $60.3 million to $72.7 million, excluding the expected synergies, and approximately $85.3 million to $102.9 million including the expected synergies. Lehman Brothers noted that the merger consideration of approximately $65.5 million was within the range of the value calculated in the discounted after-tax cash flow model excluding the expected synergies, and below the range of value calculated, including the expected synergies.

Lehman Brothers also prepared a discounted after-tax cash flow model that was based upon the adjusted Guardian projections. Lehman Brothers used discount rates of 11% to 13% and a terminal value based on a range of multiples of estimated RMR in 2015 of 42.5x to 47.5x. Based on these discount rates and terminal values, Lehman Brothers calculated the implied enterprise value of Guardian at approximately $55.5 million to $66.8 million, excluding the expected synergies, and approximately $80.4 million to $97.1 million, including the expected synergies. Lehman Brothers noted that the merger consideration of $65.5 million was within the range of the value calculated in the discounted after-tax cash flow model, excluding the expected synergies, and below the range of value calculated, including the expected synergies.

Using publicly available information, Lehman Brothers compared selected financial data of Guardian with similar data of selected companies engaged in businesses considered by Lehman Brothers to be comparable to that of Guardian. Specifically, Lehman Brothers included in its review the following companies: The Brink’s Company and Integrated Alarm Services Group, Inc.

For each of the selected companies and the merger, Lehman Brothers calculated the ratios of enterprise value to LTM revenue and LTM EBITDA. Lehman Brothers then compared these ratios for the selected companies to similar ratios calculated for the merger. The following table presents these multiples.

Because of the inherent differences between the business, operations, financial condition and prospects of Guardian and the business, operations, financial conditions and prospects of the companies included in the comparable company analysis, Lehman Brothers believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely on the quantitative results of the comparable company analysis. In particular, Lehman Brothers noted the differences in business models of Guardian and each of the comparable companies.

Lehman Brothers analyzed the pro forma effect of the merger on the earnings per share of Devcon based on the Guardian projections, the Devcon projections and the expected synergies. Lehman Brothers estimated that the pro forma impact of the merger on the earnings per share of Devcon would be 18.9% and 6.2% dilutive, respectively, in the first two years following the merger excluding the expected synergies and 38.7% and 73.0% accretive in the first two years following the merger, including the expected synergies. The financial forecasts that underlie this analysis are subject to substantial uncertainty and, therefore, actual results may be substantially different.

Lehman Brothers is an internationally recognized investment banking firm and, as part of its investment banking activities, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Our board of directors selected Lehman Brothers because of its expertise, reputation and familiarity with Devcon and the electronic security services industry generally and because its investment banking professionals have substantial experience in transactions comparable to the merger.

As compensation for its services in connection with the merger, Devcon paid Lehman Brothers $400,000 upon the delivery of Lehman Brothers Opinion. Additional compensation of $1,250,000 will be payable on completion of the merger against which the amounts paid for the Lehman Brothers Opinion and a $100,000 retainer will be credited. In addition, Devcon has agreed to reimburse Lehman Brothers for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the merger and to indemnify Lehman Brothers for certain liabilities that may arise out of its engagement by Devcon and the rendering of the Lehman Brothers Opinion. Lehman Brothers has performed, is currently performing and expects to perform in the future various investment banking services for Devcon (including serving as placement agent on the proposed equity financing) and has received and expects to receive customary fees for such services. Additionally, Lehman Brothers has performed and is currently performing investment banking services for one of the principal shareholders of Devcon, as well as its affiliates, and has received and expects to receive customary fees for such services.

In the ordinary course of its business, Lehman Brothers may actively trade in the debt or equity securities of Devcon and Guardian for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market. Nasdaq has established rules of corporate governance which must be followed by all issuers whose securities are listed on Nasdaq. Under these rules, we are required to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities:

This rule is referred to in this information statement as the “Nasdaq 20% Limitation.”

In light of the requirements of the Nasdaq 20% Limitation, we have received the approval of a majority of our shareholders because:

We obtained the required financing for the acquisition of Guardian from cash on hand, the net proceeds of the sale and issuance of the notes and the common stock warrants under the terms of the securities purchase agreement and cash available under our CapitalSource Revolving Facility, which was increased from $70 million to $100 million to accommodate the acquisition of Guardian. The closing of the sale of the promissory notes and the common stock warrants, the acquisition of Guardian and the payment and satisfaction of the $8 million bridge loan we borrowed on November 10, 2005 from CapitalSource LLC, or the CapitalSource Bridge Loan, each occurred on March 6, 2006.

The following summarizes the terms of the merger agreement, entered into on November 9, 2005 among Devcon, the Merger Sub and Guardian. The complete text of the merger agreement is included as Annex D to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the merger agreement in its entirety.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an aggregate cash price of $65.5 million, which consisted of approximately $24.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem both series of Guardian’s preferred stock, approximately $13.3 million provided to Guardian to pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase consideration, approximately $3.3 million, has been placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon RMR and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian common shareholders are expected to receive a pro rata distribution from the escrowed amount approximately six months after the closing. We completed the acquisition on March 6, 2006. Guardian is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devcon.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Guardian discharged specified debt utilizing specified funds deposited into an escrow account by Devcon.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Guardian paid and discharged specified debt (excluding Guardian acquisition holdback liability not then payable, vehicle lease indebtedness and indebtedness to finance insurance premium payments), utilizing funds provided by us for that purpose. Prior to closing the acquisition, Guardian gave us written notice of the amount of funds necessary to discharge the debt. The funds amounted to $13.3 million.

In general, the debt consisted of indebtedness arising from: (i) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2004, among Guardian, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent, GECC Capital Markets Group, Inc., as lead arranger, and specified other lenders; (ii) any prepayment penalty due under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; (iii) Guardian acquisition holdback liability; (iv) vehicle leases; (v) professional fees and other expenses, including, legal fees and expenses, investment banking fees and any special committee and management bonuses; and (vi) financing for insurance premiums.

Under the merger agreement, Guardian made representations and warranties to us with regard to the following:

The merger agreement also contained representations and warranties provided by us and the Merger Sub as to the following:

In addition to each of Guardian’s duties and obligations existing under the terms of the merger agreement, we agreed to cause the surviving corporation to (i) honor all of Guardian’s and its subsidiaries’ employment, collective bargaining, severance, termination and retirement agreements and (ii) provide those employees of Guardian and its subsidiaries employed at the effective date of the merger with benefits that are substantially comparable to the benefits afforded such employees prior to the merger for one year from the effective date of the merger.

Upon termination of the merger agreement, we would have been entitled to a return of a $3 million deposit paid by us upon execution of the merger agreement unless:

In either of these events, Guardian would have retained this $3 million deposit and the deposit would have been credited against any damages Guardian sustained due to the termination of the merger agreement. The issuance of the $45,000,000 of notes and the warrants was completed as an initial step to the private placement of the Series A convertible preferred stock to allow us to complete our acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. in a timely manner and avoid forfeiture of this $3 million deposit.

The following summarizes the terms of the voting agreement, entered into on November 9, 2005, among specified shareholders of Guardian. The complete text of the voting agreement is included as Annex I to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the voting agreement in its entirety.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a meeting of Guardian’s shareholders or executing a written consent was required to approve the merger agreement. Under the terms of the voting agreement specified shareholders of Guardian agreed to vote all of their respective shares of Guardian common stock beneficially owned by them in favor of the approval of the merger and all related transactions. The shareholders, who together held approximately 41.0% of the outstanding voting common stock of Guardian, included, Harold Ginsburg, all members of Mr. Ginsburg’s family, all officers and directors of Guardian and any entities controlled by any of such individuals. The voting agreement granted us an irrevocable proxy, which we could use to vote the shares of common stock held by such shareholders in favor of the merger and all related transactions. Each of the shareholders also had separately represented and warranted as to its or his authority relative to his or its respective voting agreement, the absence of conflicts between his or its respective voting agreement and, if applicable, its organizational documents and material agreements or any laws, and as to his or

its title to the securities being voted. Each of these shareholders also had covenanted that he or it will not sell or encumber the securities held by such shareholder without our consent. The voting agreement terminated once the merger became effective.

No member of our management or our board of directors had an interest in the acquisition or has an interest in the private placement that is in addition to their interests as our shareholders generally.

Under the merger agreement, Guardian obtained the resignations of all members of its board directors and the board of directors of Guardian’s subsidiaries. The members of the board of directors and officers of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the acquisition are the members of the board of directors and officers of the surviving corporation.

Our management believes that the acquisition of Guardian has expanded our ability to serve our industrial, commercial and residential customers in our chosen markets. We believe we are among the leading providers of electronic security services in the State of Florida. Additionally, we intend to further grow our electronic security services business by expanding our position in the electronic security services business through internal growth and complementary acquisitions. Although our board of directors has not yet made any determination, such alternatives may include the additional acquisition of an entire company or companies, or divisions thereof, either through a merger or a purchase of assets, as well as an investment in the securities of a company or companies.

The merger is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price of Guardian, including the direct costs of the transaction, will be allocated to the assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values, with the excess purchase consideration allocated to goodwill. The results of Guardian’s operations will be included in our results from the effective time of the merger.

Holders of our common stock will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the acquisition of Guardian. None of Devcon or the Merger Sub will recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the acquisition of Guardian.

We are not required under applicable corporate law or the rules and regulations of Nasdaq to seek approval of our shareholders with respect to the acquisition.

The selected financial data presented below for, and as of the end of, each of the years in the five-year period ended December 31, 2005, are derived from Guardian’s audited financial statements with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and are derived from Guardian’s unaudited financial statements with respect to all other fiscal years. This selected financial data should be read in conjunction with Guardian’s audited financial statements and notes, Guardian’s unaudited financial statements and notes and the related “Guardian’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that appear later in this information statement.

The following table sets forth earnings and book value per common share for Devcon and Guardian on a historical and pro forma combined basis. You should read this table along with the historical consolidated financial statements (and related notes) included in the annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q that Devcon has included in this information statement as Annex F. You should not rely on the pro forma combined information as being indicative of the results that would have been achieved had Guardian been consolidated with us or the future results that the consolidated company will experience after the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based on our management’s estimates of the value of Guardian’s tangible and intangible assets which asset valuations were further reviewed by an independent valuation firm. In addition, our management is assessing and formulating its integration plans. The finalization of these plans could result in a material change to the estimates used in the preparation of the pro forma financial data. Guardian has never paid cash dividends on its common stock. Devcon has not paid any dividends on its common stock since 1992.

Guardian is not publicly traded on any securities exchange or on Nasdaq. Accordingly, no trading information for this capital stock may be presented.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect, with respect to the pro forma financial statements listed below, to the following:

(i) the anticipated exchange of the $45,000,000 of notes for 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock under the terms of the private placement.

(v) the application of the net proceeds from (A) the sale by us of the $45,000,000 of notes and the warrants to purchase 1,650,943 shares of our common stock and the anticipated exchange of the $45,000,000 of notes for 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock under the terms of the private placement and (B) the increase of our CapitalSource Revolving Facility from $70 million to $100 million.

(i) the addition of the results of operations for Guardian for the period January 1, 2006 to the date of acquisition of Devcon on March 6, 2006; and

(ii) the anticipated exchange of the $45,000,000 of notes for 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock under the terms of the private placement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with i) our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005, including the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year ended and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, which Annual Report and quarterly reports are included in this information statement as Annex F, and ii) the audited historical financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Guardian. See “Background to Private Placement—The Acquisition: Guardian’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

The Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included in this information statement, in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements, discloses the presentation and accounting for the $45 million of Notes (the “Notes”) and Warrants between the date of their issuance and the anticipated exchange of these Notes into our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company estimated, at the time of issuance, that the Notes would remain outstanding for approximately five months subsequent to the closing of the Guardian acquisition, which took place on March 6, 2006. This estimate was based upon the time needed to complete and file this information statement with the SEC. As reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2006, delays in completing and filing this information statement resulted in the estimated time in which the Notes

would remain outstanding being extended to six months. Once these requirements have been fulfilled, the exchange of the Notes for our Preferred Stock is anticipated to occur. For purposes of presentation with respect to the pro forma statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and six months ended June 30, 2006, these pro forma financial statements reflect the necessary adjustments in order to illustrate the effect thereto as if the Notes were issued on January 1, 2005 and simultaneously were exchanged for our Preferred Stock on that date. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 reflects the appropriate adjustments as if the exchange took place on June 30, 2006. The adjustments in the pro forma financial statements for all periods presented reflect the exchange of the Notes for the Preferred Stock including i) the reclassification of the $45 million of Note proceeds, less the appropriate discount amount ascribed to the Warrants, the embedded compound derivatives and any deferred financing fees, as Preferred Stock, ii) the elimination of interest expense on the Notes and the addition of preferred dividends and iii) the valuation of any embedded derivatives or freestanding derivatives the Company has identified using market assumptions existing as at January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. The Preferred Stock by its terms and conditions meets the criteria to be classified as temporary equity, (See Note 20 to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements for further details).

The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what our results would actually have been had these transactions actually occurred on the dates presented or to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period.

Pro Forma Financial Statements—Statement of Operations—Unaudited—(Continued)

In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted after the acquisition date, as a result of information being obtained to complete an estimate of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, if this information is known to exist at the date of the acquisition. The Company is still in the process of completing a review of the acquired customer contracts and the installed station equipment used at the customer’s locations (the “Installed Equipment”) to determine the fair value of the Installed Equipment. The Company expects to complete that review no later than December 2006. In accordance with Guardian’s historical accounting policies, Installed Equipment, which consisted of the direct material and labor incurred to install a security systems at customer sites for which the title to the security systems were retained by Guardian, was capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the customer contract. In addition, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Guardian deferred certain direct costs, including direct sales commissions for obtaining new subscriber monitoring contracts, and amortized these costs over the estimated life of the customer relationship. The net book value of the Installed Equipment on the balance sheet of Guardian at the time of acquisition amounted to $11.7 million. In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the historical SAB 104 net deferred costs recorded by Guardian are not separately valued after acquisition and, accordingly, are included in the fair value of the intangible assets of Guardian’s customer contracts and relationships. Purchase accounting adjustments were made to reflect the fair value of Guardian’s customer contracts and relationships, taking into account the estimated fair value of the Installed Equipment (Guardian-owned station equipment). It is expected that any change in the estimated fair value from completion of our review of the Installed Equipment will not be material.

The fair value of Guardian’s property, plant, and equipment was reviewed primarily utilizing a cost approach which estimates value based on the cost to reproduce or replace an asset with another with like utility, less depreciation due to normal wear and tear, as well as functional and economical obsolescence. Other than the Installed Equipment, described above, we completed the review to determine the fair value of Guardian’s property plant and equipment and determined it to be approximately equal to the value of the net book value recorded on Guardian’s historical balance sheet at the time of acquisition.

The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of goodwill valued at $32.7 million. This value was determined as the residual value of the total consideration paid and the estimated fair value of the identified net assets acquired. The goodwill amount represents, among other things, the value of synergies expected to be realized, assembled workforce-in-place and other unidentified intangible assets. The net assets acquired were recorded based upon management’s best estimates and a preliminary independent appraisal which determined the fair value of net assets acquired. In determining the fair value of the assets acquired, the valuation study valued the tangible and intangible assets that met the criteria under SFAS 141 for recognition as assets separate and apart from goodwill. The assets recognized were those that arose from either a contractual arrangement or other legal rights, or the asset is capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. The separate assets identified included equipment and personal property as well as trade name and trademarks, contractual relationships and customer relationship and are depreciated or amortized over their estimated life. In addition, goodwill amounting to $10.7 million arose on the transaction due to the differential between the income tax value of the net assets acquired when compared to the fair value of the net assets acquired. In accordance with the SFAS No. 141, the goodwill amount will be tested for impairment on an annual basis.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2006:

On February 10, 2006, the holders of 3,082,640 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock, representing approximately 51.4% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of our shareholders, executed a written consent approving the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and the private placement and the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the common stock Warrants. These shareholders have also entered into a voting agreement under the terms of which they have agreed to vote the shares they represent in favor of the same matters when these matters are submitted to a vote of our shareholders. The approval by the shareholders will not become effective until 20 days from the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders.

The Warrants and an embedded derivative, that being the right to purchase preferred stock in the future (the “Purchase Rights”), were issued in connection with the issuance of the Notes, are detachable, or need to be bifurcated, and will be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities. The initial carrying value of the Notes is reduced at issuance by the $8.5 million total value associated with the Warrants and the Purchase Rights (the “Discount”). See below for further details. The resulting discount from the face amount of the Notes is being accreted over 6 months, the period of expected maturity of the Notes. The accretion amount recorded in each period will be determined using the effective interest method. The accretion period for the Discount was estimated at six months, which is the estimated time required to prepare and complete the necessary regulatory filling and hold the required shareholder meeting in order for the Preferred Stock to be issued. Based upon this amortization period, when the Preferred Stock is issued, the initial fair value of the Discount will have been fully accreted to the Note carrying value which will result in a face value exchange for the Preferred Stock. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, which assume the simultaneous exchange of the Notes for the Preferred Stock, we have presented the Warrants valued at $7.8 million, which amount was determined using market factors that existed at January 1, 2005 and accreted the appropriate discount amount as additional preferred dividends using the effective interest rate method. Additionally, since the exchange of the Notes for the Preferred Stock is presented as occurring simultaneously with the issuance of the Notes in the pro forma financial statements, the Purchase Rights have been assigned no value in the pro forma financial statements.

Since our Preferred Stock will be convertible at the option of the holder, and redeemable under certain circumstances which are not under the control of the Company, the Preferred Stock, when issued, will be classified as temporary equity in accordance with ASR 268. Dividends paid or accrued on these shares will be deducted from net income in determining net income attributable to common shareholders.

The Preferred Stock to be issued and the Warrants are subject to a registration rights agreement, which imposes significant penalties for failure to register the resale of the underlying common stock by a defined date as well as non-standard anti-dilution provisions. The Registration Rights Agreement does not require the Company to register the issuance or the resale of the Preferred Stock or the Warrants, themselves. The conversion price of the Warrants and the Preferred Stock may be adjusted in certain circumstances, such as, if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. Also, if we issue shares of common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the convertible preferred stock will be reduced accordingly. In accordance with EITF-00-19 and SFAS 133, the Preferred Stock is the host instrument and the Preferred Stock’s, embedded compound derivative is required to be classified as a liability and marked-to-market.

We have reviewed the terms of the Preferred Stock to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. We have determined that the Preferred Stock contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, which includes the conversion feature; a dividend payment conversion feature; and a change in control redemption right, which are required to be bifurcated from the Preferred Stock host instrument. In accordance with Derivative Implementation Group Issue No. B15, the bifurcated derivative instruments embedded in the preferred stock will be accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument and we have estimated the value to be approximately $19.8 million. For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, which assume the simultaneous exchange of the Notes for the Preferred Stock, we have identified and valued compound embedded derivatives totaling $18.7 million associated with the Preferred Stock. The $18.7 amount was determined using market factors that existed at January 1, 2005. Accordingly, we have also recorded an adjustment to accrete the appropriate amount as additional preferred dividends using the effective interest rate method.

The derivative financial instrument liability will initially be measured at fair value and will then be re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as credits or charges to income. We will determine the fair value of these instruments using an appropriate pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments, risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price, expected dividend yield and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the respective option. The assumptions used to value these instruments can significantly affect our financial statements and are dependent on market conditions which change with the passage of time. For purposes of the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the historic market price of the Company’s common stock was used as a determining factor to value these instruments. Mainly as a result of the market price of our common stock at January 1, 2005 having been higher than, and at June 30, 2006, lower than: i) the $11.925 exercise price of the Warrants; and ii) the $9.54 conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the value of these derivative financial instrument liabilities declined in value over the 18 month period of the pro forma financial statements. Accordingly, the fair value of each of these instruments in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, were determined using the following assumptions:

The resulting fair values and the credits or charges to income which resulted from the re-valuation of the instruments using these assumptions are presented in the chart below, along with the dividends resulting from the accretion of the Warrants and Compound Embedded Derivative recognized during the pro forma 2005 calendar year and the six months ended June 30, 2006 for each instrument:

The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register common shares that may be issued on exercise of the Warrants or in the conversion of the Preferred Stock, to permit re-sale of shares of the common stock previously sold under an exemption from registration or to register shares of the common stock that may be issued on exercise of outstanding options or warrants. These registration rights agreements require us to pay penalties for any time delay in filing the required registration statements, or in the registration statements becoming effective, beyond dates specified in the Agreement. These penalties are expressed as a fixed percentage, per month, of the original amount we received on issuance of the preferred stock or warrants. We will account for these penalties as a contingent liability and not as a derivative instrument. Accordingly, we will recognize the

penalties, if any, when it becomes probable that they will be incurred. Any penalties will be expensed over the period to which they relate. The Registration Rights Agreement does not require the Company to register the issuance or the resale of the Preferred Stock or the Warrants themselves.

Interest expense set out in the pro forma statement of operations, for pro forma adjustments for Credit Facility, has been adjusted to reflect $3.3 million and $1.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The $35.6 million of increased borrowings on the Credit Facility incurred to complete the acquisition of Guardian accrues interest at Libor plus 5.75% per annum. The impact of a ¹/8^th of one percent increase in the Libor rate of interest is $45,118 per year.

The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include adjustments to reflect the issuance of the Preferred Stock. The calculations supporting those adjustments are shown in the charts below in thousands of dollars:

Pursuant to the merger agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian. Upon the effectiveness of shareholder approval of the private placement described more fully below, we will complete the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock. Shareholder approval of the private placement was required to comply with the Nasdaq 20% Limitation. See “Background to The Private Placement.”

This summary of the terms of the private placement is intended to provide you with basic information concerning the transaction; however, it is not a substitute for reviewing the securities purchase agreement, the certificate of designations of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the form of promissory note, the form of common stock warrant and the voting agreement in their entirety, each of which is included in this information statement as Annexes E, C, I, B and J, respectively. You should read this summary in conjunction with these documents.

On February 10, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors with respect to the private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 of notes, along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. In addition, we anticipate that the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock in exchange for the notes and for no additional consideration. Each private placement investor will surrender notes in a principal amount equal to $1,000 for each share of our Series A convertible preferred stock. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. On February 24, 2006, the securities purchase agreement was amended to provide for an extended closing date in either the event that the SEC elected to not review this information statement or the SEC review of this information statement is continuing. Also, on April 12, 2006, each of the notes was amended to allow the maturity date to be extended up to January 1, 2007 in some circumstance and to provide for provisions concerning redemption of the notes if a change of control occurs. On May 22, 2006, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended again to provide for a further extension of the closing date in either the event that the SEC elected to not review this information statement or the SEC review of this information statement is continuing. See “Description of the Promissory Notes”. On August 25, 2006, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended a third time to provide for a further extension of the closing date to October 20, 2006. The sale of the notes and the common stock warrants and the closing of the Guardian acquisition occurred on March 6, 2006.

The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock, which could, upon issuance, equal an amount that is 20% or more of our common stock outstanding prior to the date of issuance, requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of our common stock approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock, the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock; however, this approval will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an information statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders have been fully satisfied. We anticipate that the sale of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock will take place on or before October 20, 2006.

The following summarizes terms of the securities purchase agreement, entered into on February 10, 2006, among us and certain accredited investors. The complete text of the securities purchase agreement is included as Annex E to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the securities purchase agreement in its entirety.

On February 10, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, a copy of which is included in this information statement as Annex E, with certain accredited investors with respect to the private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 of notes, along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. In addition, we anticipate that the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock in exchange for the notes and for no additional consideration. On February 24, 2006, the securities purchase agreement was amended to provide for an extended closing date in either the event the SEC elected to not review this information statement or the SEC review of this information statement is continuing. Also, on April 12, 2006, each of the notes was amended to allow the maturity date to be extended up to January 1, 2007 in some circumstance and to provide for provisions concerning redemption of the notes if a change of control occurs. On May 22, 2006, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended again to provide for a further extension of the closing date in either the event that the SEC elected not to review this information statement or the SEC review of this information statement is continuing. On August 25, 2006, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended a third time to provide for a further extension of the closing date to October 20, 2006. See “Description of the Promissory Notes”.

On March 6, 2006, we completed the sale of the notes and the common stock warrants. The purchase price for each investor purchasing the notes and the common stock warrants at the initial closing was equal to $1.00 for each $1.00 of principal amount of notes purchased by each investor. The sale of the shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock is expected to take place at an additional closing on or before October 20, 2006. In connection with the additional closing, each investor purchasing the notes and the common stock warrants will surrender notes in a principal amount equal to $1,000 for each share of our Series A convertible preferred stock.

On March 6, 2006, or the initial closing, each investor transmitted its funds in accordance with the terms of the securities purchase agreement. On or prior to September 18, 2006, or the additional closing, we anticipate each investor will acquire shares of Series A convertible preferred stock by surrendering its notes in a principal amount equal to $1,000 for each share of our Series A convertible preferred stock. If any interest is owed to an investor by us upon exchange of the notes for Series A convertible preferred stock, we will pay these amounts in cash. If, however, an investor does not hold any notes on such date, the investor may acquire the Series A convertible preferred stock by wire transfer of funds to us.

Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, we made representations and warranties to the investors with regard to the following:

The securities purchase agreement also contained representations and warranties provided by the investors to us to the following:

The securities purchase agreement provides for the following covenants, among others:

Issuance of Notes, Warrants or Additional Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

As long as any investor beneficially owns any notes (i.e., prior to the exchange of the notes for the Series A convertible preferred stock), we cannot, without the prior written consent of investors holding a majority in principal amount outstanding of the notes, issue any of our common stock, options, other convertible securities or other equity or equity-linked securities (other than the common stock warrants and the Series A convertible

preferred stock to the investors). Also, so long as any investor beneficially owns any notes, the Series A convertible preferred stock, shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of Series A convertible preferred stock, shares of our common stock issued as payment of dividends on the Series A convertible preferred stock, the common stock warrants and shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of the common stock warrants, we cannot, without the prior written consent of investors holding a majority of the shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock, issue any shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (other than to the investors as set forth under the securities purchase agreement) and we cannot issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Certificate of Designations or the common stock warrants. Lastly, for so long as any shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock or the common stock warrants remain outstanding, we cannot, without the prior written consent of investors holding a majority of the shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock, issue or sell any rights, common stock warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase our common stock or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock at a conversion, exchange or exercise price which varies or may vary after issuance with the market price of the our common stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise price of any such security cannot be less than the then applicable conversion price of the Series A convertible preferred stock with respect to the common stock into which any shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock are convertible or the then applicable exercise price of the common stock warrants with respect to the common stock into which any common stock warrant is exercisable.

These restrictions do not apply to grants of awards under our equity compensation plans to our employees or issuances of our common stock upon exercise of these awards by our employees.

Until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock, each holder of Series A convertible preferred stock shall be given at least seven (7) business days prior written notice of any proposed sale of common stock by us or other securities convertible or exchangeable into our common stock. We may not include any terms or provisions in the subsequent placement requiring holders of Series A convertible preferred stock to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any of our securities owned by the holder prior to the subsequent placement. Additionally, we must provide registration rights as to the securities issuable in the subsequent placement that are similar in all material respects to the registration rights contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement for the Series A convertible preferred stock. If a holder of Series A convertible preferred stock exercises his right of first offer, the holder shall have the right, during the seven (7) business days following receipt of the notice, to purchase a proportionate amount of all of the offered shares of common stock or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions described in the notice of sale. In the event the terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, each holder shall be given prompt notice of the modification and shall have the right, during the seven (7) business days following the notice of modification, to exercise his right. In the event that none of the holders chose to exercise their rights or failed to make any election after the initial seven (7) business day period following receipt of the notice, we shall, within forty-five (45) days from the applicable date, publicly announce either the entering into of definitive agreements (and attach the agreements along with the public filing) with respect to the proposed sale of our common stock (or equivalents or securities convertible into our common stock) by us or the termination of the transaction, and the holder shall have no right to participate in the transaction.

Until the private placement is completed, we agreed not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, encourage or solicit offers, inquiries or proposals for, or entertain any offer, inquiry or proposal to enter into any proposal from any person relating to any business combination transaction, sale or equity investment involving us, (ii) provide information to any other person regarding us (except in the ordinary course of business) or (iii) conduct any discussions or negotiations, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, regarding any business combination transaction, sale or equity investment involving us.

In connection with the private placement transaction and pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, we sold to the private placement investors an aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 of promissory notes.

The promissory notes issued in connection with the private placement accrue interest on the principal amount remaining unpaid on the notes at a fixed rate equal to 8% per annum with principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the maturity date, which is the earlier of the fifth day after the issuance of the to be created and issued Series A convertible preferred stock and January 1, 2007. In addition, the amendments provide that, in any change of control situation, the surviving corporation must assume the obligations under the notes and must be a publicly-traded company and the private placement investors have the right to require us to repay any outstanding principal under the notes in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the sum of the original principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such principal and (B) the quotient of (1) the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the proposed change of control divided by (2) $9.54 and (ii) 115% of the sum of the outstanding principal plus any accrued but unpaid interest. If we fail to pay any amount of principal of the notes when due, the unpaid principal amount will bear interest at a fixed rate of 18% per annum from the day when due until the amount is paid in full. All interest is computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. The notes are not secured by any of our assets.

Upon the occurrence of any of the following, an investor may declare the outstanding principal amount of a note and all other amounts due under the note immediately due and payable:

We are not permitted to prepay the notes, in whole or in part, prior to the maturity date without the written consent of the holders of the notes.

The terms of the notes restrict our ability to incur any indebtedness except for the following permitted indebtedness:

The terms of the notes also restrict our ability to incur any liens on our assets except for the following permitted liens:

The terms of the notes also restrict our ability to make payments on existing indebtedness except to the extent set forth in a schedule attached to the notes.

Upon effectiveness of shareholder approval of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and the private placement, or shortly thereafter, we will file the Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Florida to amend our Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10 million shares of preferred stock. In connection with the amendment, we also will file with the Secretary of the State of Florida the Certificate of Designations, which sets forth the rights and preferences of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The following summarizes the Certificate of Designations. The complete text of the voting agreement is included as Annex C to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the Certificate of Designations in its entirety.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, ranks senior to our common stock in all respects, including, without limitation, as to our distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up (whether voluntary or involuntary), and has the voting rights described under “Voting Rights” below.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, consolidation, merger, sale of substantially all of our assets or similar event, the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock shall have the right to receive, in preference to the all other classes of capital stock, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) the original purchase price of each share of Series A convertible preferred stock plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. After the payment of any and all liquidation preferences on the Series A convertible preferred stock, all of our remaining assets and funds shall be distributed to the holders of our common stock, pro-rata. If upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our assets or surplus funds to be distributed to the holders of shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and any of our other then-outstanding shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with respect to payment on liquidation with the Series A convertible preferred stock will be insufficient to permit payment to the holders of the amount discussed above and all other preferential amounts payable with respect to the Series A convertible preferred stock, then the assets available for payment or distribution to the holders will be allocated among the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock and any of our other then-outstanding shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series A convertible preferred stock, pro rata.

Holders of Series A convertible preferred stock have the right to receive, in preference to all other classes of stock, cumulative dividends at a rate of 8.0% per year, calculated on an amount equal to the original purchase price of each share of Series A convertible preferred stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events). Dividends are payable in arrears for each calendar quarter on the first day of the succeeding calendar quarter during the period beginning on the date of issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock and continuing until the sixth anniversary of the initial issuance date with the first payment of dividends beginning on the first business day of the first full quarter to occur after the date the Series A convertible preferred stock is issued. Dividends payable on the Series A convertible preferred stock for any period less than a full year will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year. Dividends are payable in cash or shares of our common stock that have been registered for resale, at our option, provided that shares of common stock shall be issued at a price equal to ninety percent (90%) of the weighted average of the closing bid prices for the 20 trading days prior to due date of the dividend, or the average price. In addition, holders of Series A convertible preferred stock have the right to receive dividends declared and paid on common stock, on a pro-rata, as-converted basis.

The dividend rate described above will be adjusted depending on the status of our materials and construction divisions. Until the materials and construction divisions are sold, the dividend rate will be 9.0% per year for the period ending June 30, 2006, 10.0% per year for the period ending December 31, 2006 and 11.0% per year for the period ending June 30, 2007 and all periods following. However, for each $1 million we realize in cash proceeds from sales of all or a portion of our materials and construction divisions, the dividend rate in effect at the time of the sale will be decreased by 20 basis points to a minimum dividend rate of 8.0% per year. Also, the dividend rate will be reset to the minimum 8.0% rate if we are able to realize on our materials and construction divisions EBITDA for the trailing twelve months of $5.5 million during the 2006 calendar year or $7.0 million during the 2007 calendar year.

Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends per share then outstanding, is convertible at the option of the holder, at any time, into shares of our common stock. The conversion price shall be equal to $9.54. As of the date of this information statement, the 45,000 shares of the Series A convertible preferred stock we anticipate issuing in the private placement would convert into an aggregate of 4,716,981 shares of our common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment as a result of the sale of equity securities by the Company at a price below the conversion price of the warrants, on a “weighted average” basis, or in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions, combinations and capital reorganizations, mergers and similar events.

On the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of the completion of the private placement, we are required to redeem, in equal installments, shares of Series A convertible preferred stock purchased in the private placement, in cash, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the original purchase price plus (ii) any additional amount to be paid on such shares and all accrued but unpaid dividends. If any shares of Series A convertible preferred stock remain outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the completion of the private placement, we are required to redeem those shares in cash. Should we fail to redeem those shares at that time, the applicable cash price per unredeemed share of Series A convertible preferred stock will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, prorated for partial months, until paid in full plus the investor will have the option to require us to convert any of those unredeemed shares into shares of our common stock substituting market prices for the conversion price, which market prices may be lower than the conversion price resulting in a larger number of shares of our common stock being issued.

In the event of a change of control of Devcon, and as long as 25% of the Series A convertible preferred stock remains outstanding, holders of Series A convertible preferred stock shall have the right to require us to repurchase any outstanding shares in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the sum of the original purchase price plus any additional amount to be paid on such shares and all accrued but unpaid dividends and (B) the quotient of (1) the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the proposed change of control divided by (2) the conversion price and (ii) 115% of the sum of the original purchase price plus any additional amount to be paid on such shares and all accrued but unpaid dividends.

On May 10, 2009, the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock shall have the right to require us to redeem all or a portion of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for cash, in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the original purchase price plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends.

In the event a change of control of Devcon occurs at any time after May 11, 2009 and the aggregate consideration to be paid to our shareholders consists solely of cash, we shall have the right to purchase from the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock all (but not less than all) issued and outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for cash, in an amount equal to the greater of the (i) the product of (A) the sum of the original purchase price plus any additional amount to be paid on such shares and all accrued but unpaid dividends and (B) the quotient of (1) the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day immediately following the public announcement of the proposed change of control divided by (2) the conversion price and (ii) 115% of the sum of the original purchase price plus any additional amount to be paid on such shares and all accrued but unpaid dividends. Upon receipt of written notice stating that we exercise our call right, holders of Series A convertible preferred stock shall have the right to convert their shares into shares of our common stock.

At any time on or after the second anniversary of the completion of the private placement, we shall have the right to convert all issued and outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock if the average price for any consecutive 60-day period exceeds 175% of the initial current conversion price.

Each outstanding share of Series A convertible preferred stock will entitle its holder to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of that share of Series A convertible preferred stock. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the holders of common stock shall be entitled to vote, on an as converted basis, voting together with the holders of common stock as a single class. However, we will not give effect to any voting rights of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, and any holder will not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to its shares, to the extent that giving effect to the voting rights would cause the holder (together with its affiliates) to be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the voting rights.

As long as any shares of Series A convertible preferred stock remain outstanding, we cannot allow the following indebtedness ratio to exceed the maximum leverage amount. The indebtedness ratio is calculated by taking the ratio of:

Net Senior Debt plus the liquidation preference of Series A convertible preferred stock

The indebtedness ratio shall be tested quarterly commencing with the first fiscal quarter following the date of the closing of the private placement.

Any shares of our common stock, or warrants to purchase our common stock, owned or controlled by senior members of our management or Royal Palm Capital Partners, Ltd. may not be sold or exercised without the consent of holders of at least 50% of the Series A convertible preferred stock unless the average price of our common stock, for any consecutive 60-day trading period, exceeds 175% of the then current conversion price. However, the limitation on insider share sales shall not apply if our market capitalization exceeds $200 million or if the average daily trading volume of our common stock exceeds 50,000 shares at the time of the sale. The limitation also does not apply to an insider share pledge in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the securities.

We cannot effect any conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, and the holder of the Series A convertible preferred stock does not have the right to convert its shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion, the holder (together with any affiliates of the holder) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion, or the maximum permissible percentage. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock with respect to which the determination of the sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of our common stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, non-converted shares of Series A convertible preferred stock beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any of our other securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to this limitation that are beneficially owned by the holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The holder may, upon delivery of written notice to us, increase or decrease the maximum permissible percentage to any percentage specified in the notice, except that any increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of the notice.

Upon the occurrence of one of the events of default described below, holders of Series A convertible preferred stock may, by election of holders of at least 50% of the shares then outstanding, require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A convertible preferred stock and all accrued but unpaid dividends.

The following summarizes the terms of the warrants issued to certain accredited investors. The complete text of the form of warrant is included as Annex B to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the form of warrant in its entirety.

The common stock warrants issued in connection with the private placement entitle the holders to purchase up to 1,650,943 shares of our common stock, which is 35% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock. The initial exercise price of each warrant shall be equal to $11.925, which is 125% of the average price of our common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the signing of a Securities Purchase Agreement for the Series A convertible preferred stock, subject to adjustment upon certain events. If, however, a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not available for the resale of those warrants, the holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise the warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making a cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate cash exercise price, elect instead to receive upon exercise a “net number” of shares of our common stock determined according to a formula.

No holder of a common stock warrant has the right to exercise its common stock warrant, to the extent that after exercising the common stock warrant, the holder (together with any affiliates of the holder) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after exercise. In addition, exercise of the common stock warrants is subject to a limitation contained in the warrant to prevent us from breaching our obligations under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

The exercise price under the common stock warrants is also subject to adjustment as a result of the sale of equity securities by the Company at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, on a “weighted average” basis, or in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions, combinations and capital reorganizations, mergers and similar events.

The warrants issued in connection with the private placement are exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time on or before the third anniversary of the date of issuance.

The following summarizes the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into between us and certain accredited investors. The complete text of the registration rights agreement is included as Annex K to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the form of registration rights agreement in its entirety.

Under the terms of a registration rights agreement, we have agreed to file a registration statement to cover resales of (i) 120% of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, (ii) 120% of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common stock warrants and (iii) 120% of the maximum amount of shares of common stock issuable as payment of dividends on the Series A convertible preferred stock (such amount assuming that all of the shares of Series A convertible preferred stock remain outstanding until the 6-year anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock) in connection with the private placement within five (5) days of the completion of the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock, but in no event later than October 25, 2006, and to use our best efforts to cause the Securities and Exchange Commission to declare this registration statement effective within 45 days thereafter if the registration statement does not receive review by the SEC and within 90 days after the closing if the registration statement does receive review by the SEC. If we do not file the registration statement or fail to have it declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within the time frames described above, we will be obligated to pay purchasers of the securities liquidated damages in an amount (prorated) equal to 1.0% of the purchase price paid by the purchaser for each month by which we are late. Additionally, if we fail to make liquidated damages payments in a timely manner, those payments will bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month until paid in full. The Securities and Exchange Commission will not declare the registration statement effective until we have filed under cover of a Current Report on Form 8-K pro forma financial information related to the acquisition of Guardian as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

After the completion of the private placement, approximately (i) 45,000 shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock (which are convertible into approximately 4,716,981 shares of our common stock), (ii) 6,003,404 shares of our common stock and (iii) warrants and options to purchase 4,800,840 shares of our common stock would be outstanding, based upon our issued and outstanding shares as of the record date. Based on that number and the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date and assuming all shares and warrants offered in the private placement are issued and sold, on a fully converted and exercised basis, we will have 12,371,328 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, approximately a 106.1% increase, as compared with 6,003,404 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2006. As a result, holders of our common stock as of the record date will be significantly diluted.

The principal advantages that the board of directors believed would result from the private placement included:

The board of directors also considered the disadvantages of the private placement, including:

The net proceeds we received from the sale and issuance of the notes and the commons stock warrants was approximately $41.1 million after deducting all expenses payable by us in connection with the sale, including placement agent fees. Our expenses in connection with the sale and issuance of the notes and the common stock warrants, excluding placement agent fees, equaled approximately $500,000. Most of the proceeds from the sale were used to complete the Guardian acquisition and pay the CapitalSource Bridge Loan. Any remaining proceeds, to the extent available, will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We do not expect to receive any proceeds from the private placement of the Series A convertible preferred stock as such shares will be exchanged for the outstanding notes.

Shareholder approval of the private placement and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock was required to comply with the Nasdaq 20% Limitation. See “Background to The Private Placement.” More specifically, the Marketplace Rules of Nasdaq require that a company whose stock is listed on Nasdaq obtain shareholder approval for the issuance or potential issuance of securities (or securities convertible into, as in the case of the Series A convertible preferred stock, or exercisable for, as in the case of the common stock warrants, common stock) where the issuance (i) would potentially result in a change of control or (ii) in certain circumstances, including in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company or issuance at a price less than the greater of book or market value, would consist of or be convertible or exercisable into a number of shares of common stock equal to 20% or more of a company’s common stock outstanding before the issuance or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance. Since our common stock is listed on Nasdaq and because upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, exercise of the common stock warrants and distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible

preferred stock, including as adjusted under the anti-dilution provisions set forth in the terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock and the common stock warrants, we could potentially issue an amount of shares greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock, we must comply with the Nasdaq 20% limitation and obtain shareholder approval for the private placement and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock.

The following summarizes the terms of the voting agreement, entered into on February 10, 2006, among specified shareholders of Devcon. The complete text of the voting agreement is included as Annex I to this information statement. We urge you to carefully read the voting agreement in its entirety.

Under the terms of the voting agreement specified shareholders of Devcon have agreed to vote all of their respective shares of our common stock and any other securities beneficially owned by them at any meeting of our shareholders and in any action by written consent of our shareholders (i) in favor of the approval of the private placement, the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock and (ii) against any proposal or any other corporate action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation, or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of ours under the securities purchase agreement or that could result in any of the conditions to our obligations under the securities purchase agreement not being fulfilled. The shareholders, who together have power to vote greater than 50.0% of our outstanding voting common stock, include, Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd., Smithcon Family Investments, Ltd., Smithcon Family Investments, Inc., George M. Hare, Ronald G. Lakey, Richard C. Rochon, Stephen J. Ruzika and Donald L. Smith, Jr. Each of the shareholders has also separately represented and warranted as to its or his authority relative to his or its respective voting agreement, the absence of conflicts between his or its respective voting agreement and, if applicable, its organizational documents and material agreements or any laws, and as to his or its title to the securities being voted. Each of these shareholders, except Donald L. Smith, Jr. and his affiliates, has also covenanted that he or it will not sell or encumber the securities held by such shareholder without our consent. We have consented to certain pre-existing encumbrances that exist with respect to shares beneficially owned by Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. The voting agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of (i) the effectiveness of shareholder approval of the private placement, the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock or (ii) the mutual consent of each shareholder that is a party to the voting agreement and the private placement investors.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a meeting of our shareholders or executing a written consent is required to approve the private placement, the issuance of the Series A convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and the subsequent issuance of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock, the exercise of the common stock warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock.

Under Section 607.1302(2)(a) of the Florida Business Corporation Act, holders of our common stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to the actions presented in this information statement or otherwise with respect to the private placement nor will such rights be voluntarily accorded to shareholders by

us. Shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights upon the completion of the private placement because our shares of common stock are listed on Nasdaq. Consequently, if the private placement is approved by the requisite number of shares, that approval will bind all shareholders.

We anticipate shareholder approval of the private placement will be effective twenty (20) days after the date this information statement is initially transmitted to our shareholders, which transmittal date is September 20, 2006, or shortly thereafter.

The Private Placement Has Not Been Approved Or Disapproved By The Securities And Exchange Commission, Nor Has The Securities And Exchange Commission Passed Upon The Fairness Or Merits Of The Private Placement Or The Accuracy Or Adequacy Of The Information Contained In This Information Statement. Any Representation To The Contrary Is Unlawful.

Please Note That This Is Neither A Request For Your Vote Nor A Proxy Statement But Rather An Information Statement Designed To Provide You With Information About The Private Placement.

Devcon International Corp., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the Business Corporation Act of the State of Florida (the “Company”), does hereby certify:

SECOND: In accordance with the provisions of Sections 607.1003 and 607.1006 of the Business Corporation Act of the State of Florida, the Articles of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation of the Company were adopted and declared advisable by all of the directors of the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on January 30, 2006. The amendment was then approved by a majority of the shareholders of the Company pursuant to an action by written consent of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter, on February 10, 2006, in the manner prescribed by Section 607.0704 of the Business Corporation Act of the State of Florida and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

THIRD: Article III of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by a new Article III to read in its entirety as follows:

A. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.

B. Voting Rights. Each holder of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock standing in such holder’s name on the books of this corporation.

C. Dividends. Subject to provisions of law, Article III of these Articles of Incorporation, and all senior rights of holders of Preferred Stock to participate in such dividends, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion.

D. Liquidation. Subject to provisions of law and Article III of these Articles of Incorporation, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after the payment or provisions for payment of all debts and liabilities of this corporation and all preferential amounts to which the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled with respect to the distribution of assets in liquidation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets of this corporation available for distribution.

1. Issuance of Preferred Stock in Classes or Series. The Preferred Stock of this corporation may be issued in one or more classes or series at such time or times and for such consideration as the Board of Directors of this corporation may determine. Each class or series shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other classes and series. Except as to the relative designations, preferences, powers, qualifications, rights and privileges referred to in this Article III, in respect of any or all of which there may be variations between different classes or series of Preferred Stock, all shares of Preferred Stock shall be identical. Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purpose of voting by classes unless otherwise specifically set forth herein.

NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [STEELHEAD INVESTMENTS LTD.] [CASTLERIGG MASTER INVESTMENTS LTD.] [CS EQUITY II LLC], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), [1,284,067][256,813][110,063] fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “SPA Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the date hereof, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). On or before the second Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated

Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and Aggregate Exercise Price referred to in clause (ii)(A) above or notification to the Company of a Cashless Exercise referred to in Section 1(d), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as the Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be [933,395][186,679][80,005] (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations and similar events after the Subscription Date).

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $11.925, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such fifth Business Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) trading days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s exercise hereunder, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or in another bona fide transaction) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the Warrant Shares that are

the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B= the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99%¹ of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any

case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the SPA Securities and the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the SPA Warrants and SPA Securities or otherwise without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no Buyer shall be issued in the aggregate, upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of any SPA Warrants or SPA Securities, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to such Buyer pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants issued to the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date (with respect to each Buyer, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer’s SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Buyer’s Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of SPA Warrants shall exercise all of such holder’s SPA Warrants into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock underlying the SPA Warrants then held by each such holder. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any Warrant Shares for which an Exercise Notice has been received as a result of the operation of this Section 1(f)(ii), the Company shall pay cash in exchange for cancellation of such Warrant Shares, at a price per Warrant Share equal to the difference between the Closing Sale Price and the Exercise Price as of the date of the attempted exercise.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a) Adjustment upon Issuance of shares of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Excluded Securities (as defined in the SPA Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after

such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of shares of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of shares of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of shares of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of shares of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of shares of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of shares of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(a), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of

Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Sale Price of such security on the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(b) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the

Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

3. RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

(a) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and

(b) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (a) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (b).

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing (with the purchase of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock automatically constituting an assumption in writing) all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 4(b) above, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction where the Successor Entity is not a Public Successor, if the Holder has not exercised the Warrant in full prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right to require such Successor Entity to purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, simultaneously with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction and in lieu of the warrant referred to in Section 4(b), cash in an amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 60% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg.

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the

rights of the Holder.

Upon receipt by the Company of copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (A) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 2(d)(viii), is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than fifth (5) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) (the “Preferred Share Delivery

Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Sale Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within three (3) Business Day of receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Closing Sale Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall within ten (10) Business Day submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.

Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.

(iv) Miscellaneous; Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date. In the event of a conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant hereto, the number of Preferred Shares converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the Installment Dates as set forth in the Conversion Notice.

(A) Cash Damages. If (I) within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder’s balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Preferred Shares (a “Conversion Failure”) or (II) within three (3) Trading Days of the Company’s receipt of a Preferred Share Certificate the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii), then in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected and/or each day after the Preferred Share Delivery Date that such Preferred Share Certificate is not delivered in an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Share Certificate to the Holder on or prior to the Preferred Share Delivery Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares represented by such Preferred Share Certificate as of the Preferred Share Delivery Date and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock, or the Preferred Share Delivery Date, in

the case of failure to deliver a Preferred Share Certificate. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(d)(v) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of Preferred Shares, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or in another bona fide transaction) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date.

(B) Void Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(d)(v)(A) or otherwise. Thereafter, the Conversion Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.

(vi) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. Subject to Section 14, in the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Holder’s Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company

shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 2(d)(iii).

(A) Company Installment Redemption. On each applicable Installment Date, provided that during the period commencing with the Company Installment Notice (as defined below) through the applicable Installment Date, the Equity Conditions have been satisfied (or waived in writing by the applicable Holder), the Company shall pay to each Holder the Installment Amount as of such Installment Date by redeeming the applicable Installment Amount, in whole or in part, in accordance with this Section (a “Company Installment Redemption”). On or prior to the date which is the tenth (10^th) Trading Day prior to each Installment Date (each, an “Installment Notice Due Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice (each, a “Company Installment Notice”), to each Holder which Company Installment Notice shall state the applicable Installment Amount of such Holder which the Company shall redeem pursuant to a Company Installment Redemption (the “Company Installment Redemption Amount”) and the Company Installment Notice shall certify that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied as of the date of the Company Installment Notice. If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied as of the Installment Notice Due Date, the Installment Notice Due Date shall indicate that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the applicable Company Installment Redemption shall not occur. If the Equity Conditions were satisfied as of the Installment Notice Due Date but the Equity Conditions are no longer satisfied at any time prior to the applicable Installment Date, the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent notice to that effect indicating that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions, the applicable Company Installment Redemption shall not occur. Except as expressly provided in this Section, the Company shall redeem from each Holder such Holder’s applicable Installment Amount pursuant to this Section.

(B) Mechanics of Company Installment Redemption. The Company Installment Redemption Amount which is to be paid to each Holder on the applicable Installment Date shall be redeemed by the Company on such Installment Date, and the Company shall pay to the Holder on such Installment Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash (the “Company Installment Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of (x) the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being redeemed and (y) any accrued and unpaid Dividends with respect to such Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, but subject to Section 14, until the Company Installment Redemption Price is paid in full, the Company Installment Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by any Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(d). In the event a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Company Installment Redemption Amount prior to the applicable Installment Date as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Installment Redemption Amount so converted shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Dates as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice.

(viii) Mandatory Redemption at Maturity. If any Preferred Shares remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, and the Equity Conditions have been satisfied (as indicated in a notice from the Company to the Holders delivered thirty (30) Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date) or waived by the applicable Holder, the Company shall redeem such Preferred Shares in cash in an amount equal to the outstanding Conversion Amount for such Preferred Shares (the “Maturity Date Redemption Price”). The

Company shall pay the Maturity Date Redemption Price on the Maturity Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Holder. If the Company fails to redeem all of the Preferred Shares outstanding on the Maturity Date by payment of the Maturity Date Redemption Price for each such Preferred Share, then in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under any Transaction Document, (I) the applicable Maturity Date Redemption Price payable in respect of such unredeemed Preferred Shares shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, prorated for partial months, until paid in full, and (II) any Holder shall have the option to require the Company to convert any or all of such Holder’s Preferred Shares and for which the Maturity Date Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid into (on a per Preferred Share basis) shares of Common Stock equal to the number which results from dividing the Maturity Date Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) by the Default Conversion Price. If the Company has failed to pay the Maturity Date Redemption Price in a timely manner as described above, then the Maturity Date shall be automatically extended for any Preferred Shares until the date the Holders receive such shares of Common Stock or Maturity Date Redemption Price and shall be further extended for any Preferred Shares for as long as (A) the conversion of such Preferred Shares would violate the provisions of Section 5, (B) a Triggering Event or an event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a Triggering Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (C) the Equity Conditions have not been satisfied (or waived by the applicable Holder).

(ix) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, any Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. The Holders and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(d)(ix) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS

CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(d)(ix) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.

(e) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof) and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.

(f) Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(f).

(i) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(f) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company but excluding Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (y) the quotient of (1) the sum of (I) the product of the Applicable Price and the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, divided by (2) the product of (I) the Applicable Price multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 2(f)(i), the following shall be applicable:

(A) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(A), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

(B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and

sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(B), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(f)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(C) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

(D) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10^th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall

be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

(E) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(ii) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(iii) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(f).

(A) Within three (3) Business days of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2(f), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2(d)(iii).

(B) The Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.

(C) The Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.

(a) Triggering Event. A “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(ii) the failure of the applicable Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement);

(iii) while the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to the Holder for sale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) days in any 365-day period (excluding days during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement));

(iv) the suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed on an Eligible Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days or for more than an aggregate of ten (10) Trading Days in any 365-day period;

(v) the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any Holder, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any Preferred Shares into Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;

(vi) at any time following the tenth (10^th) consecutive Business Day that a Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation is less than the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 5 or otherwise);

(vii) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amounts when and as due pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement);

(viii) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary under any applicable Federal or State law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(ix) the commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action;

(x) any event of default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness, including borrowings under any of the CapitalSource Credit Agreements and any applicable grace periods in such Indebtedness with respect to such event of default shall have expired; provided, however, that with respect to any event of default under a CapitalSource Credit Agreement that is not a payment default, only after acceleration of such loan pursuant to such CapitalSource Credit Agreement; or

(xi) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition herein or in any Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and such breach constitutes, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition herein or in any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days after receipt of notice from any Holder of such breach.

(i) In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, after a Triggering Event, the Required Holders shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the greater of 115% of (x) the Conversion Amount and (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below) and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Triggering Event (the “Triggering Redemption Price”).

(ii) In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, at any time on May 11, 2009 (the “Put Date”), each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the outstanding Conversion Amount for such Preferred Shares (the “Put Redemption Price”, and together with the Triggering Redemption Price, the “Redemption Price”).

(i) Within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of a qualifying Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to each Holder.

(ii) At any time after (i) the earlier of a Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event or (ii) the Put Date, any Holder of Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder’s Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder”) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem. In the event of a partial redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant hereto, the Conversion Amount shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Dates as set forth in the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder.

(d) Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer from any Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify each Holder by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of such notice(s). The Company shall deliver on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder the applicable Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder; provided that, if required by Section 2(d)(ix), a Holder’s Preferred Share Certificates shall have been delivered to the Transfer Agent. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 3 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each Holder interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed Preferred Share until paid in full. The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 3, the Holders’ damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders’ actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

(e) Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 3(d), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder under this Section 3 and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Optional Redemption Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.

(f) Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) above with the term “Redemption Price” being substituted for the term “Conversion

Rate”. A Holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a particular Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares a Preferred Share Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing (with the purchase of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock automatically constituting an assumption in writing) all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred Shares held by such holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common shares are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such publicly traded common shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(a) shall not apply to the Preferred Shares of a Holder upon the Company’s delivery of a Notice of Mandatory Redemption to such Holder in connection with a Cash Change of Control Event (as defined below).

(b) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

(c) Limitations on Senior Management Securities. The Company shall not permit any of its Senior Management to sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock,

Option, Convertible Security or any other instrument convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or to convert or exercise any such convertible or exercisable instrument (except as may be issued pursuant to the terms of an Approved Share Plan) beneficially owned by such Person, unless (i) the Required Holders shall have executed a written consent to such sale, transfer or exercise or (ii) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock shall have equaled or exceeded 175% of the initial Conversion Price (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions after the Subscription Date) for each of the sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days’ (the “Limitation Measuring Period”) prior to the date of such sale, transfer or exercise (the “Senior Management Limitation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Senior Management Limitation shall not apply to such sale, transfer or exercise if either (x) the Market Capitalization of the Company exceeds $200 million on the date of such sale, transfer or exercise or (ii) the average daily trading volume as reported by Bloomberg of the Company’s Common Stock on the Principal Market during the Limitation Measuring Period exceeds 50,000 shares. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged by Senior Management in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities (or resulting foreclosure on such Securities by such lender) shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and Senior Management shall not be required to provide the Holder with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Holder pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(5) Limitation on Beneficial Ownership. Other than during Limited Restriction Periods or after delivery of a Limited Restriction Notice, the Company shall not effect and shall have no obligation to effect any conversion of Preferred Shares, and no Holder shall have the right to convert any Preferred Shares, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such conversion shall cause the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s affiliates) to have acquired, through conversion of Preferred Shares or otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds 9.99% (or, in the case of each of Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd. and CapitalSource Finance LLC, 4.99%) (“Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Likewise, other than during the Limited Restriction Periods or after delivery of a Limited Restriction Notice, the Company shall not give effect to any voting rights of the Preferred Shares, and any Holder shall not have the right to exercise voting rights with respect to any Preferred Shares pursuant hereto, to the extent that giving effect to such voting rights would cause such Holder (together with its affiliates) to be deemed to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise of voting rights. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB, Form 10-K or Form 10-KSB as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the receipt of such notice, confirm orally and in writing to any such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to conversions of Preferred Shares by such Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other Holder.

(a) Reservation. The Company shall have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for each of the Preferred Shares equal to 120% of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Preferred Share as of the Initial Issuance Date, (ii) the number of Dividend Shares issuable hereunder, determined as if issued as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and assuming the Preferred Shares remain outstanding until the Maturity Date, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants. So long as any of the Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so available be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Amount”); provided, further, that any Dividend Shares issued by the Company shall not be issued from any shares of Common Stock so reserved. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall as promptly as practicable take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to have available the Required Amount for the Preferred Shares then outstanding.

(7) Voting Rights. Subject to Section 5 and the Maximum Percentage, each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. Each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders’ meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock on all matters except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.

(8) Change of Control Redemption Right. So long as Holders (and their transferees) continue to hold in the aggregate at least 25% of the aggregate number of Preferred Shares purchased on the Initial Issuance Date (such Holders, the “Eligible Holders”), no sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Eligible Holders (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period (the “Change of Control Period”) beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, such Eligible Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product (x) the sum of the Conversion

Amount being redeemed together with any accrued but unpaid Dividends per Preferred Share and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 115% of the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed together with any accrued but unpaid Dividends per Preferred Share (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). The Company shall made payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8 may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 8, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e) with the term “Change of Control Redemption Price” being substituted for “Redemption Price” and “Change of Control Redemption Notice” being substituted for “Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder”. In the event of a partial redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant hereto, the Conversion Amount redeemed shall be deducted from the Installment Amounts relating to the applicable Installment Dates as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

(a) Mandatory Conversion. If at any time after the second anniversary of the Initial Issuance Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date”), (i) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 175% of the initial Conversion Price (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions after the Subscription Date) for each of any sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days following the Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period”) and (ii) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Holder on each day during the period commencing on the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date and ending on the Mandatory Conversion Date (each, as defined below), the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert up to all of the Conversion Amount then remaining into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Mandatory Conversion”). The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 9(a) on one occasion by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of such Mandatory Conversion Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Preferred Shares and the Transfer Agent (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice” and the date all of the holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”). The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with Section 9(a), which Trading Day shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days but not more than sixty (60) Business Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), (ii) the number of Preferred Shares of such Holder subject to the Mandatory Conversion, (iii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares subject to Mandatory Conversion from all of the holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(b) Mandatory Redemption. In addition to all other rights of the Company contained herein, (x) at any time on or after May 11, 2009 (the “Call Date”) if the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Required Holders from and including the Notice of Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) through and including the Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), the Company

shall have the right, at the Company’s option, to redeem (a “Mandatory Call Redemption”) all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal the outstanding Conversion Amount for such Preferred Share (the “Call Redemption Price”) and (y) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company with aggregate consideration to be paid to the holders of capital stock of the Company solely consisting of cash (a “Cash Change of Control Event”), the Company shall have the right, at the Company’s option, to redeem (a “Mandatory Cash Change of Control Redemption”, and together with the Mandatory Call Redemption, a “Mandatory Redemption”) all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share in cash equal to the greater of (i) the product (x) the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed together with any accrued but unpaid Dividends per Preferred Share and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) the Conversion Price and (ii) 115% of the sum of the Conversion Amount being redeemed together with any accrued but unpaid Dividends per Preferred Share (the “Mandatory Cash Change of Control Redemption Price”, and together with the Call Redemption Price, the “Mandatory Redemption Price”).

(i) Mechanics of Mandatory Redemption. At any time after the Call Date or upon a Cash Change of Control Event, the Company may redeem all of the outstanding Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Mandatory Redemption”) to the Holders, which Notice of Mandatory Redemption shall indicate the date of such redemption (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) and the applicable Mandatory Redemption Price (the date of such Notice, the “Notice of Mandatory Redemption Date”). The Notice of Mandatory Redemption shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Redemption in accordance with Section 9(b), which Trading Day shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days but not more than sixty (60) Business Days following the Notice of Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), (ii) the number of Preferred Shares of such Holder subject to the Mandatory Redemption, (iii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares subject to Mandatory Redemption from all of the holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Redemption Date.

(ii) Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Call Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) above with the term “Call Redemption Price” being substituted for the term “Conversion Rate”.

(i) If the Company elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 9(a) or any redemption of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 9(b), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Preferred Shares.

(ii) All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company has elected a Mandatory Conversion, the mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 2(d) shall apply, to the extent applicable, as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a Conversion Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion.

(10) Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the “Liquidation Funds”), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the capital shares of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (the “Pari Passu Shares”), then each Holder and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount

of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company of shares of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.

(11) Preferred Rank. All Common Stock shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares. Without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital shares that is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Company shall be permitted to issue preferred shares that are junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, provided that the maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such preferred shares) of any such junior preferred shares are not on or before the Maturity Date. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein (except that the Preferred Shares may be pari passu with, but not junior to, any capital shares of the successor entity) and no merger shall result inconsistent therewith.

(12) Participation. The Holders shall, as holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

(13) Leverage Ratio Test. So long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall not allow the Leverage Ratio to exceed the following ratios for the following periods:

(14) Limitation on Number of Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants if the issuance of such Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market (or any successor rule or regulation) for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount, or (b) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the

“Purchasers”) shall be issued, in the aggregate, upon conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Preferred Shares issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all the Preferred Shares issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date (the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser’s Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser’s Exchange Cap Allocation. In the event that any Holder shall convert all of such Holder’s Preferred Shares into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Preferred Shares then held by each such Holder.

(15) Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Shares. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not: (u) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of preferred shares, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (v) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of the Preferred Shares; (w) create or authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with the Preferred Shares with respect to dividends or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; (x) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements with employees giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services); (y) pay dividends or make any other distribution on the Common Stock; or (z) whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Preferred Shares.

(16) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Share Certificates representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Share Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new Preferred Share Certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Share Certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock.

(17) Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(18) Construction. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Buyers and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.

(19) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

(20) Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (provided that if the Preferred Shares are not held by a Buyer (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) then substituting the words “holder of Securities” for the word “Buyer”).

(21) Transfer of Preferred Shares. A Holder may assign some or all of the Preferred Shares and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Company; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

(22) Preferred Share Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

(23) Shareholder Matters. Any shareholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Florida General Corporation Act, this Certificate of Designation or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the issuance of any Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof may be effected by written consent of the Company’s shareholders or at a duly called meeting of the Company’s shareholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the Florida General Corporation Act. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the Florida General Corporation Act permitting shareholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

(24) Involuntary Bankruptcy. So long as the CapitalSource Credit Agreements remains outstanding, no holder of Preferred Shares shall institute proceedings to have the Company adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Company.

(25) Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holders contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holders shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.01 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, Company or shareholders thereof, the following shall occur with respect to the securities of the Company:

(a) Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of Class A Voting Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”) and each share of Class B Nonvoting Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Class B Common Stock,” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.05 hereof)) shall be converted into and become the right to receive in cash (i) the Closing Payment Amount without interest, which shall be payable in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04 hereof; and (ii) the Deferred Payment Amount, upon the determination of the Deferred Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2.03(d) hereof, which shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof (the Closing Payment Amount and the Deferred Payment Amount are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Common Stock so converted shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, and each certificate previously representing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Redemption of Preferred Stock. At or promptly following the Closing, Surviving Corporation (i) shall deliver to the holders of the Company’s Series D 6% Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Series D Preferred Stock”), (except for such shares that are not redeemable at the election of the Company), and to the holders of the Company’s Series E 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Series E Preferred Stock,” and together with the Series D Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock,” and together with the Common Stock, the “Shares”) a notice of redemption in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock; and (ii) shall cause the redemption of the Preferred Stock in accordance with its terms. To the extent shares of Preferred Stock are not so redeemed, such shares shall be

All Converted Preferred shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, and each certificate previously representing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 2.01(b) (the “Converted Preferred Consideration”). Payment of the Redemption Amount, including the Converted Preferred Consideration, shall be subject to the receipt by the Company and the Parent of an indemnification agreement from the record holders of the Preferred Stock, substantially in the form heretofore delivered to Company in the case of certain distributions on Preferred Stock by the Company (copies of which indemnification agreements have been made available to Parent).

Each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned directly or indirectly by Merger Sub, Parent or any subsidiary or affiliated entity thereof, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”), and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Paying Agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration and the Redemption Amount (including the Converted Preferred Consideration) in accordance with this Article II. Also prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as escrow agent in the Merger (the “Escrow Agent”), and (ii) enter into an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent with such Escrow Agent for the disbursement of the Escrow Amount in accordance with this Article II (the “Escrow Agreement”). The same institution may serve as Paying Agent and Escrow Agent.

SECTION 2.03 DEPOSIT; ESCROW AMOUNT; DISCHARGE OF DEBT; DETERMINATION AND PAYMENT OF DEFERRED PAYMENT AMOUNT.

(a) On the date hereof, Merger Sub shall deliver Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Deposit”) to the Company by cashier’s check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds. In the absence of a termination of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company shall transfer or apply the Deposit in accordance with the written directions of the Parent and Merger Sub, which may be to partially satisfy the deposits in paragraph (b) below.

(b) On the Closing Date and at or before the Closing, Parent shall (i) deposit with the Escrow Agent, Three Million, Two Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars ($3,260,000) (the “Escrow Amount”) to be held and disbursed pursuant to this Article II and the terms of the Escrow Agreement; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent, (A) for the benefit of the holders of shares of Common Stock, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration less the Escrow Amount and (B) for the benefit of the holder(s) of the Converted Preferred, cash in amounts sufficient to pay the Converted Preferred Consideration (such cash referred to in (A) and (B) above, being collectively referred to as the “Exchange Fund”); (iii) irrevocably deposit in a trust administered by the Paying Agent, as trustee, the terms of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Company and Parent and provide for payment in accordance with the terms of this Article II and the terms of the Preferred Stock, for purposes of redemption of the Preferred Stock, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, cash in an amount set forth in a written notice from the Company equal to the Redemption Amount minus the Converted Preferred Consideration (the “Redemption Funds”); and (iv) provide the Company with cash in an amount set forth

in a written notice from the Company up to a maximum amount equal to the amount sufficient to discharge the Debt to be discharged at Closing (the “Debt Funds”). The Escrow Amount, the Exchange Fund, the Redemption Funds and the Debt Funds shall not be used for any other purposes. The Escrow Amount and the Exchange Fund shall be invested as directed by Parent but only in a Permitted Investment. The Escrow Amount as invested shall be referred to as the “Escrow Funds”.

(c) Discharge of Certain Debt. On the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Debt (excluding Company acquisition holdback liability not then payable, vehicle lease Indebtedness, and Indebtedness to finance insurance premium payments) to be paid and discharged, utilizing any Debt Funds for that purpose.

(d) Determination and Payment of Deferred Payment Amount. The Deferred Payment Amount shall be determined in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) As soon as practical after the Closing Date, but in no event more than sixty (60) days thereafter, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Company Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) a statement (the “First Adjustment Statement”) showing Parent’s calculation of the RMR Adjustment, if any, and the Net Working Capital Adjustment, if any (collectively, the “First Proposed Adjustment”), including the detailed components of such calculation. Parent shall promptly provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Company Shareholder Representative and/or his representatives, upon written request, access to and copies of books and records of the Surviving Corporation and of the Parent that reasonably relate to any Proposed Adjustment.

(ii) If Parent does not timely deliver a First Adjustment Statement as provided in paragraph (i) of this subsection 2.03 (d), (A) the Escrow Agent shall, on the first business day following the earlier of (1) the 60th day following the Closing Date and (2) the date it receives written consent from the Parent, disburse 75% of the Escrow Funds to the Paying Agent, who shall, upon receipt, disburse such funds to the former holders of (x) the shares of Common Stock and (y) the Company Stock Options and Company Stock Warrants who receive a Closing Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2.06 (collectively the “Former Holders”), as the Deferred Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and Section 2.06(b), and (B) within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date the Company Shareholder Representative may prepare and deliver to the Parent (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) a statement (the “CSR First Adjustment Statement”) showing the Company Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the RMR Adjustment, if any, and/or the Net Working Capital Adjustment, if any (collectively, the “CSR First Proposed Adjustment”), including the detailed components of such calculation. Parent shall promptly provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Company Shareholder Representative and/or his representatives, upon written request, access to and copies of books and records of the Surviving Corporation and of the Parent that reasonably relate to any Proposed Adjustment.

(iii) In the event a First Adjustment Statement is timely delivered and the Company Shareholder Representative disagrees with the First Proposed Adjustment, the Company Shareholder Representative shall send written notice of such disagreement to Parent (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) within sixty (60) days after receipt of the First Adjustment Statement. Such notice shall, to the extent practicable, include the Company Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the First Proposed Adjustment and provide reasonably detailed information identifying the reason the First Proposed Adjustment is not accurate. In the event that the Company Shareholder Representative does not timely give such notice, then the Parent’s First Proposed Adjustment shall be deemed final, in which event (A) the Escrow Agent, shall, on the first business day following the 60th day following the receipt by the Company Shareholder Representative of the First Adjustment Statement, disperse from the Escrow Funds such amount as set forth in the First Adjustment Statement to the Parent or Paying Agent, as applicable, and/or (B) the Parent shall, to the extent applicable, on the first business day following the 60th day following the receipt by the Company Shareholder Representative of the First Adjustment Statement, deposit additional cash with the Paying Agent for prompt distribution to the Former Holders, in accordance with the instructions provided in the First Adjustment Statement. If the Company Shareholder Representative provides earlier written notice to the Parent (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) that there is no disagreement with the First Proposed Adjustment, the distributions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made within five (5) days of receipt by Parent of Company Shareholder Representative’s notice.

(iv) If the Company Shareholder Representative timely sends a written notice in accordance with subsection (iii), the matter or matters shall be referred, within ten (10) business days after Parent’s receipt of such notice, to an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative (the “Firm”). The Firm and its representatives shall be given prompt access to such information and persons as it may reasonably request in connection with the performance of its functions hereunder.

(v) The Firm shall make a final determination of any RMR Adjustment and Net Working Capital Adjustment included in the First Adjustment Statement. The foregoing determinations of the Firm shall be binding on all parties, and the Firm shall deliver such determinations in writing to Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative (with a copy to Escrow Agent), with such detail as is reasonably requested. The Escrow Agent shall, on the first business day following its receipt of a joint written instruction from the Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative, disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the instructions provided in such notice. The joint written instruction shall be promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent but in no event later than five (5) days after the receipt of the Firm’s written determination.

(vi) In the event Parent fails to timely delivery the First Adjustment Statement and a CSR First Adjustment Statement is timely delivered and the Parent disagrees with the CSR First Proposed Adjustment, it shall send written notice of such disagreement to the Company Shareholder Representative (and the Escrow Agent) within sixty (60) days after receipt of the CSR First Adjustment Statement. Such notice shall, to the extent practicable, include the Parent’s calculation of the CSR First Proposed Adjustment and provide reasonably detailed information identifying the reason the CSR First Adjustment Statement is not accurate. In the event that the Parent does not timely give such notice, then the CSR First Proposed Adjustment shall be deemed final, in which event (A) the Escrow Agent shall on the first business day following the 60^th day following receipt by Parent of the CSR First Adjustment Statement, disburse from the Escrow Funds such amount as set forth in the CSR First Adjustment Statement to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Former Holders or Parent, as applicable, and/or (b) the Parent shall, to the extent applicable, on the first business day following the 60^th day following the receipt by the Parent of the CSR First Adjustment Statement, deposit additional cash with the Paying Agent for prompt distribution to the Former Holders, in accordance with the instructions provided in the CSR First Adjustment Statement. If the Parent provides earlier written notice to the Company Shareholder Representative that there is no disagreement with the CSR First Proposed Adjustment, the Escrow Agent shall make the distributions from the Escrow Funds and if applicable the Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent the amounts set forth in the CSR First Adjustment Statement within five (5) days of Company Shareholder Representative’s receipt of Parent’s notice.

(vii) If the Parent timely sends a written notice in accordance with subsection (vi), the matter or matters shall be referred, within ten (10) business days after Company Shareholder Representative’s receipt of such notice, to the Firm. The Firm and its representatives shall be given prompt access to such information and persons as it may reasonably request in connection with the performance of its functions hereunder.

(viii) The Firm shall make a final determination of any RMR Adjustment and Net Working Capital Adjustment included in the CSR First Adjustment Statement. The foregoing determinations of the Firm shall be binding on all parties, and the Firm shall deliver such determinations in writing to Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), with such detail as is reasonably requested. The Escrow Agent shall, on the first business day following its receipt of a joint written instruction from the Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative, disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the instructions provided in such joint written instruction, and if applicable, the Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent the amounts set forth in the Firm’s determination within five (5) days of receipt of the Firm’s final determination. The joint written instruction shall be promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent but in no event later than five (5) days after the receipt of the Firm’s written determination.

(ix) As soon as practical after the Closing Date, but in no event more than one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter, Parent will prepare and deliver to the Company Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) a statement (the “Second Adjustment Statement”) showing any loss or expense incurred by Parent or the Surviving Corporation as a result of a breach by the Company of the representations set forth in Article III hereof, including a reasonably detailed description of each alleged misrepresentation and reference to the breached provision of this Agreement, and the components of any such loss or expense (each, a “Misrepresentation Loss,” and collectively, the “Misrepresentation Losses”) (collectively, the “Second Proposed Adjustment”). Parent shall promptly provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Company Shareholder Representative and/or his representatives, upon written request, access to and copies of books and records of the Surviving Corporation and of the Parent that reasonably relate to the Second Proposed Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to all Misrepresentation Losses other than losses or expenses incurred by Parent or the Surviving Corporation as a result of a breach by the Company of the representations set forth in Section 3.07 hereof, until such time as the total of all such Misrepresentation Losses exceed in the aggregate $100,000, the Parent shall not be entitled to reimbursement of such losses from the Escrow Funds; provided, however, that once such threshold is exceeded, the Second Proposed Adjustment shall include the amount of all Misrepresentation Losses including the first $100,000 of losses, but the Company’s liability for such Misrepresentation Losses shall not exceed $100,000. Net Working Capital Adjustments, RMR Adjustments and breaches of representations or warranties contained in Section 3.07 shall not be subject to the $100,000 limitation. The parties understand and agree that the obligation to pay any Misrepresentation Losses or amounts due to Parent as a result of the Net Working Capital Adjustment or RMR Purchase Price Decrease post-Closing shall be limited to funds available for disbursement from the Escrow Account, and any amount due to the Former Holders as a result of the Net Working Capital Adjustment post-Closing shall be paid initially from the Escrow Funds available; provided, however, that Parent shall, prior to the date of the Second Adjustment Statement, make a deposit into the Escrow Funds in an amount equal to the Net Working Capital Adjustment resulting from the Closing Net Worth being greater than the Base Net Worth. The parties also understand and agree that any Escrow Funds not due to Parent as a result of Misrepresentation Losses or as a result of the Net Working Capital Adjustment or RMR Adjustment post-Closing shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Former Holders as a Deferred Payment Amount after the Proposed Adjustments have been finally reconciled pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(d).

(x) In the event a Second Adjustment Statement is timely delivered and the Company Shareholder Representative disagrees with the Second Proposed Adjustment, the Company Shareholder Representative shall send written notice of such disagreement to Parent (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) within fifty (50) days after receipt of the Second Adjustment Statement. Such notice shall, to the extent practicable, include the Company Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the Second Proposed Adjustment and provide reasonably detailed information identifying the reason the Second Proposed Adjustment is not accurate. In the event that the Company Shareholder Representative does not timely give such notice, then the Parent’s Second Proposed Adjustment shall be deemed final and the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse the balance of the Escrow Funds to Parent and/or Paying Agent in accordance with the instructions provided in the Second Adjustment Statement.

(xi) If the Company Shareholder Representative timely sends a written notice in accordance with subsection (x), the matter or matters shall be referred, within ten (10) business days after Parent’s receipt of such notice, to the Firm. The Firm shall evaluate any claim of Misrepresentation Losses, determine the accuracy and amount thereof, and make a final determination as to the amount, if any, of such Misrepresentation Losses. In that connection, the Firm may engage legal counsel to advise the Firm with respect to claims of breach of Article III hereof. The foregoing determinations of the Firm shall be binding on all parties, and the Firm shall deliver such determinations in writing to the Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) with such detail as is reasonably requested. The Escrow Agent shall, on the first business day following its receipt of a joint written instruction from the Parent and the Company Shareholder Representative, disburse the balance of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the instructions provided in such notice, and thereafter the Escrow Agreement shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall be released from all further obligations under the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The joint written instruction shall be promptly delivered to the Escrow

Agent but in no event later than five (5) days after receipt of the Firm’s written determination. Prior to the distribution of any Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Escrow Funds of its fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with acting as Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement provided, however, that if as a result of the Company Shareholder Representative’s written notice of disagreement with the Parent’s First Proposed Adjustment or Second Proposed Adjustment, the amount finally agreed by the parties or determined by the Firm as the final adjustment has a benefit to the Former Holders of more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) greater than the amount proposed in the First Proposed Adjustment or Second Proposed Adjustment, Parent shall pay, or reimburse the Escrow Fund, for the fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent incurred as a result of the Company Shareholder Representative’s efforts inuring to the benefit of the Former Holders. If the Company Shareholder Representative disagrees with the Parent’s First Proposed Adjustment or Second Proposed Adjustment, and the amount finally agreed by the parties or determined by the Firm as the final adjustment results in a benefit to the Parent of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) or more than the amount proposed in the First Proposed Adjustment or Second Proposed Adjustment or in the aggregate there is no material benefit inuring to the Former Holders as a result of the adjustment or settlement resulting from the Company Shareholder Representative’s efforts, then all of the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent associated with such review shall be paid as a reduction of any amount payable to the Paying Agent from the Escrow Funds.

(xii) At any time, the Parent and/or the Company Shareholder Representative may propose, and both may agree, to settle all disputed items. In the event there are proposals for settlement from both parties, but no agreed settlement, the party (i.e., Parent, on the one hand, and the Company Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Former Holders, on the other hand) whose last proposed offer for the settlement of the items in dispute, taken as a whole, was farther away from the final determination of the Firm, shall pay all fees and expenses of the Firm associated with such review and determination provided that any amount payable by the Former Holders shall only be paid as a reduction of any amount payable to the Paying Agent from the Escrow Funds. If no such settlement offers were made, then the fees and expenses of the Firm associated with such review shall be shared equally by Parent and the Former Holders, provided that the portion payable by the Former Holders shall only be paid as a reduction of any amount payable by the Paying Agent from the Escrow Funds, and provided, further, that (A) if Parent is obligated to pay or reimburse the fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent in accordance with subsection (xi) of this Section 2.03, Parent shall be responsible for payment of the fees and expenses of the Firm, and (B) if the Former Holders are obligated to pay or reimburse the fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent in accordance with subsection (xi) of this Section 2.03, then all of the fees and expenses of the Firm associated with such review shall be paid as a reduction of any amount payable to the Paying Agent from the Escrow Funds. All of the fees and expenses of the Company Shareholder Representative shall be paid or reimbursed from the Escrow Funds distributed to the Paying Agent prior to disbursement of any amounts to the Former Holders, but after any amounts the Former Holders are required to pay to the Escrow Agent and Firm.

(xiii) The parties hereto agree to use their reasonable good faith best efforts to distribute all Escrow Funds remaining in the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date.

(xiv) The Company Shareholder Representative shall not be liable for acts or omissions in the performance of his, her or its responsibilities under this Agreement unless such acts or omissions are finally adjudicated to have involved fraud or willful misconduct. The Parent agrees that the covenants and obligations of the Parent provided for in Section 6.03 shall extend to the Company Shareholder Representative.

(a) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or a holder of record of shares of Converted Preferred: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that

delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration (or in the case of the Converted Preferred, the pro rata portion of the Redemption Amount). Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the required documentation from a holder, the Paying Agent shall make payment to such holder by mailing certified or bank checks payable to such holder in next day funds; provided, however, if and to the extent that a holder is entitled to receive a Closing Payment Amount (or Redemption Funds) in excess of $500,000, such holder may, at its option, deliver to the Paying Agent at or after Closing the documentation required herein together with wire transfer instructions, and upon the receipt of the same by the Paying Agent at or after Closing, the Paying Agent shall make payment to such holder by wire transfer of same day funds in accordance with such instructions. At the relevant time provided in Section 2.03(d), the Paying Agent shall pay to the holders who received a Closing Payment Amount, the applicable Deferred Payment Amount owed to such holders by mailing certified or bank checks payable to such holders in next day funds; provided, however, if and to the extent that a holder is entitled to receive a Deferred Payment Amount in excess of $500,000, such holder may, at its option, deliver to the Paying Agent at or after Closing the documentation required herein together with wire transfer instructions, and upon the receipt of the same by the Paying Agent at or after Closing, the Paying Agent shall make payment to such holder by wire transfer of same day funds in accordance with such instructions.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate representing such shares shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.04, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration to which the holder of such Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article II. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(b) No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by Law.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the Former Holders for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any such holders who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.04 shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of such Former Holder’s claim for the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by the Former Holders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d) No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, Escrow Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any cash (including any dividends or distributions with respect to such Shares) delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under all applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been

paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate for Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon (i) the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and (ii) if required by the Surviving Corporation, (A) in the event such person is a holder of over 150 Shares, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct, or (B) in the event such person is a holder of 150 or fewer Shares, reasonable personal assurances from such person, in each case as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, then, as the case may be, (x) the Paying Agent shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a), and (y) the Parent shall cause the Redemption Amount attributable to such Shares to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

SECTION 2.05 STOCK TRANSFER BOOKS. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Paying Agent or Parent for any reason shall be canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration or Redemption Amount to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(b), as the case maybe.

(a) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Company shall take all necessary action (which action shall be effective as of the Effective Time), including obtaining the consent of the individual option and warrant holders and the adoption of Company Board resolutions, if necessary, to (i) terminate the Company’s Stock Option Plan, (ii) cancel, as of the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under such Stock Option Plan or otherwise (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, without the creation of additional liability to the Company or any Subsidiaries but subject to the terms of this Agreement); and (iii) cancel, as of the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “Company Warrant”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, without the creation of additional liability to the Company or any Subsidiaries but subject to the terms of this Agreement).

(b) Each holder of a Company Stock Option or Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and has an exercise price per share of Common Stock that is less than the Merger Consideration shall (subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06) be paid by the Paying Agent, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Stock Option or Company Warrant, as the case may be, an amount in cash (subject to any applicable withholding Taxes) equal to the product of (i) the difference between the Closing Payment Amount and the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option or Company Warrant, as the case may be, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option or Company Warrant, as the case may be. The Paying Agent shall make payment to the holders of Company Stock Options or Company Warrants within five (5) days following the Closing Date by mailing certified or bank checks payable to such holders in next day funds; provided, however, if and to the extent that a holder is entitled to receive a Closing Payment Amount in excess of $500,000, such holder may, at its option, deliver to the Paying Agent at or after Closing wire transfer instructions, and upon the receipt of the same by the Paying Agent at or after Closing, the Paying Agent shall make payment to such holder by wire transfer of same day funds in accordance with such instructions. Promptly after the determination of the Deferred Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2.03(d) hereof, the Paying Agent shall pay to each former holder of a Company Stock Option or Company Warrant who received a Closing Payment Amount, the applicable Deferred Payment Amount (subject to the fees, and possible reductions and increases contemplated by Section 2.03(d)), by mailing certified or bank checks payable to such holders in next day funds; provided, however, if and to the extent that a holder is entitled to receive a Deferred Payment Amount in excess of $500,000, such holder may, at its option, deliver to the Paying Agent at or after Closing wire transfer instructions, and upon the receipt of the same by the Paying Agent at or after Closing, the Paying Agent shall make payment to such holder by wire transfer of same day funds in accordance with

such instructions. Any such payments shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local Tax withholding requirements.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the applicable provisions of the FBCA, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any shareholder who is entitled to demand and properly demands the appraisal for such Shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 607.1301 et seq. of the FBCA shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Any such shareholder shall instead be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such shareholder’s Dissenting Shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the FBCA; provided, however, that all Dissenting Shares held by any shareholder who shall have failed to perfect or who otherwise shall have withdrawn or lost such shareholder’s rights to appraisal of such Shares under Section 607.1301 et seq. of the FBCA shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender in the manner contemplated by Section 2.01(b) or provided in Section 2.04, as the case maybe, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such Shares.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the applicable provisions of the FBCA and received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the applicable provisions of the FBCA if the Company participates in such negotiations or proceedings. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Except as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), which includes, inter alia, exceptions to the representations and warranties made by Company to Parent and Merger Sub, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows (a disclosure in any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule which clearly describes the information being disclosed and specifically references another Company Disclosure Schedule, shall constitute a disclosure in such other referenced Company Disclosure Schedule):

(a) The Company and each Subsidiary of the Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate or other power and authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) A true and complete list of all Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and the percentage of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary owned by the Company, each other Subsidiary and any other person, is set forth in Section 3.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) Section 3.01(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists any and all persons of which the Company directly or indirectly owns an equity or similar interest, or an interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for an equity or similar interest, of less than 50% of such person (collectively, the “Investments”). The Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, owns all Investments free and clear of all Liens, and there are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary permitting the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of its interest in the Investments or to provide funds to, or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in, or provide any guarantee with respect to, any Investment.

SECTION 3.02 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. The Company has made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of the articles of incorporation and the bylaws or similar organizational documents, each as amended to date, of the Company and each Subsidiary. Such articles of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents are in full force and effect and no other organizational documents are applicable or binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor (to the knowledge of the Company as to any period prior to acquisition of such Subsidiary by the Company) any Subsidiary is, nor has either the Company or any Subsidiary been, in violation of any provision of its articles of incorporation or bylaws or similar organizational documents in any material respect. The Company has made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the minutes of all meetings and all written consents of the Company Board (and each committee thereof) and of the shareholders of the Company, in each case since July 1, 2001 and prior to October 1, 2005.

All material corporate actions taken by the Company have been duly authorized or ratified. All accounts, books, ledgers and official and other records of the Company and each Subsidiary accurately and fairly reflect in reasonable detail the activities of the Company and such Subsidiary, and there are no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained therein. The stock ledgers of the Company and each Subsidiary, as previously made available to Parent, contain accurate and complete records of all issuances, transfers and cancellations of shares of the capital stock of the Company and each Subsidiary. The books and records of the Company fully and fairly reflect, in all material respects as and to the extent required by GAAP, Consistently Applied, all of its transactions, properties, assets and liabilities.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that a Competing Transaction Proposal is a Superior Acquisition Proposal (as defined below), the Board of Directors of the Company may terminate this Agreement; provided, that: (A) the Company provides at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to the Parent of its intention to terminate this Agreement; (B) during such ten (10) business day period (or longer period if extended by the Company and the Parent) (the “Negotiation Period”), the Company agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Parent regarding such changes as the Parent may propose to the terms of this Agreement, with the intent of enabling the Company to agree to a modification of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated; and (C) after expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Competing Transaction Proposal remains a Superior Acquisition Proposal (taking into account any modifications to the terms hereof proposed by the Parent) and the Board of Directors of the Company confirms its determination (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its outside financial advisors) that such Competing Transaction Proposal is a Superior Acquisition Proposal. If the party making the Superior Acquisition Proposal comes forth with a further proposal, further notice pursuant to this Section shall be provided to Parent.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide, written Competing Transaction Proposal made by a third party, not solicited in violation of subsection 6.02(a), that is on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith (after consulting with its outside financial advisors) by a majority vote would after taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Competing Transaction Proposal including any breakup fees, expenses, reimbursement provisions and conditions (including but not limited to financial, legal or regulatory conditions) to consummate the transaction (A) result in a transaction that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company Shareholders than the transactions contemplated hereby if such Competing Transaction Proposal were to be consummated, (B) the Board of Directors

reasonably believes that the Competing Transaction Proposal has a substantial likelihood of being consummated and (C) for which financing, to the extent required, is then fully committed or is from a person which, in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors (after consultation with its outside financial advisors) is financially capable of consummating the proposal.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and other expenses of investigation or litigation, including on appeal), claims, damages or liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the full extent permitted or required under the FBCA (including Section 607.0850 and subsection (7) thereof) or other applicable state Law (as amended from time to time but only to the extent such amendment enhances such Indemnified Parties’ right to indemnification) and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under the FBCA (including Section 607.0850 and subsection (7) thereof) or other applicable state Law, provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides, if requested, the undertaking to repay such advances under the circumstances contemplated by the FBCA. Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”), existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or resolutions of their Boards of Directors, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to and through the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects such indemnification obligations in accordance with their terms. Subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the provisions with respect to indemnification set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any claim is brought against any Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) after the Effective Time (i) such Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to it (subject to approval by Parent and the Surviving Corporation, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for such Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received, and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation will use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its written consent, which consent, however, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.03, upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify Parent (but the failure so to notify Parent shall not relieve it from any liability for indemnification under this Section 6.03 which it may have except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parent), and shall deliver to Parent, upon request, the undertaking, if any, contemplated by the FBCA in connection with the advance of expenses. To the extent that a Claim is brought against more than one Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties.

(c) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, a “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) based on the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement, a true and correct copy of which has previously been provided to the Parent; provided, however, that (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Tail Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage with an insurance company having a comparable or better AM Best rating and of a comparable quality and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay, for the Tail Period, an aggregate annual premium for the Tail Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of $125,000. In the event any future annual premium for the Tail Policy (or any substitute policies) exceeds $125,000, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the

amount of coverage of the Tail Policy (or any substitute policies) to the greatest amount of coverage that can be obtained for an annual premium equal to $125,000. A copy of a binder for such policy shall be provided to the Company prior to Closing, and if premiums would exceed the amount specified above, the Company may direct the Surviving Corporation prior to Closing to reduce the amount of coverage, or the period of time for which coverage shall be maintained, so that the premium will not exceed the amount specified above.

(d) This Section 6.03 shall survive the consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time, is intended to benefit the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 6.04 VOTING AGREEMENT. The persons and entities listed on Exhibit C-1 shall have executed a Voting Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2 if and to the extent such persons or entities are holders of voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Agreement”).

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions, and (ii) obtain from Governmental Authorities and third parties any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Parent or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(b) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. All filing fees on account of the filing pursuant to the HSR Act shall be paid by the Parent.

(c) Subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, each of Parent and the Company shall have the right to review and approve in advance drafts of all applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents made or prepared in connection with the items described in clauses (a) and (b) above, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings, shall furnish to the other party such necessary information and assistance as such other party may reasonably request with respect to the foregoing and shall provide the other party with copies of all filings made by such party with any applicable Government Authority, and, upon request, any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

(d) Parent and Merger Sub agree to take whatever action as may be necessary or required by any Governmental Authority to resolve any objections asserted under the HSR Act or any other applicable federal or state antitrust, competition or fair trade Laws with respect to the Transactions (including, without limitation, agreeing to hold separate or to divest any of the businesses, products or assets of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective affiliates) or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any non-appealable permanent injunction or other final judgment that has the effect of preventing the consummation of any of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no action taken by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 6.05(d) shall entitle Parent to any diminution of the Merger Consideration, and the Company shall not be required to divest or hold separate any assets or businesses or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to any of the Company’s direct or indirect assets or businesses.

(e) Merger Sub, the Company, and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents (i) necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, (ii) disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or (iii) required to prevent a Company Material Adverse Effect from occurring prior to the Effective Time. In the event that the Company shall fail to obtain any third party consent described above, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by Parent, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company and Parent and their respective businesses resulting, or

which could reasonably be expected to result, after the Effective Time, from the failure to obtain such consent. In addition, at the request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in obtaining (A) any estoppel certificates from any ground lessor under the ground leases underlying the Leased Properties, and (B) customary “comfort” letters from any franchisors or licensors under any franchise or license agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any person (other than a Governmental Authority) with respect to the Merger or any other Transaction, (i) without the prior written consent of Parent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall pay or commit to pay to such person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligation due to such person and (ii) none of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective affiliates shall be required to pay or commit to pay to such person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or to incur any liability or other obligation.

Thereafter, each of Parent and the Company shall consult in good faith with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement, except, in the written opinion of counsel for Parent or the Company (as the case may be) as may be required by applicable Law or the requirements of any applicable securities exchange, in which case the issuing party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before issuing any press release or making any such public statements.

SECTION 6.08 TRANSFER TAXES. The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any sales, transfer, stamp, stock transfer, value added, use, real property transfer or gains and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees to assume liability for and pay any sales, transfer, stamp, stock transfer, value added, use, real property transfer or gains and any similar Taxes, as well as any transfer, recording, registration and other fees that may be imposed upon, payable or incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

SECTION 6.09 RESIGNATIONS. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent at the Closing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignation effective as of the Effective Time, of those directors of the Company or any Subsidiary designated by Parent to the Company in writing at least 20 calendar days prior to the Closing.

(a) Parent agrees that individuals who are employed by the Company or any of Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date (each such employee, an “Affected Employee”) shall remain employees of the Surviving Corporation or such Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time, except to the extent such individuals voluntarily terminate their employment or terminate on account of death, retirement or disability; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Affected Employee the right to continued employment by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for any period of time after the Effective Time which is not otherwise required by Law or Contract.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor all employment, collective bargaining, severance, termination and retirement agreements to which the Company or a Subsidiary is a party, as such agreements are in effect on the date hereof.

(c) For a one year period following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide those Affected Employees who are employees of the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary at the Effective Time with benefits that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable and no less favorable to such employees as are the benefits of the Company available to such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Parent shall take all actions required so that eligible employees of the Company or any Subsidiary shall receive service credit under Parent’s vacation, severance programs, pension plans and post-retirement welfare benefit plans, for the duration of their service with the Company and any Subsidiary (including, where applicable, past service credit with other entities recognized by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the date of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section

8.01(g), then the Company shall (a) within five (5) days after the termination of the Negotiation Period, return the Deposit to the Parent and (b) within ten (10) days after termination of the Negotiation Period pay to the Parent $3,000,000, which payments shall be in full satisfaction of all costs, expenses, damages and claims that the Parent would have under the terms of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement (including Section 7 thereof) and shall be Parent’s and Merger Sub’s sole and exclusive remedy for Company’s termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(g), and thereafter the parties shall be released from all further obligations under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01(h), then the Company shall return the Deposit to Parent within five (5) days of Parent’s notice of termination, and thereafter the parties shall be released from all further obligations under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

The agreements set forth in Sections 8.02 and 8.05 and Article IX

shall survive termination of this Agreement. The inclusion of an item or matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed or deemed to be an admission that such information is material to the business, properties or operations of the Company.

financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. The Company is not an “accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and, accordingly, has not complied with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-14 under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed in to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, during the twelve months prior to the date hereof neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received any notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting controls of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(cc) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(dd) Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(ee) Transfer Taxes. On the applicable Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to each Buyer hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.

(ff) Acknowledgement Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by the Company, except as set forth in that certain confidentiality agreement, dated as of January 1, 2006 with an affiliate of a Buyer (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and those certain confidentiality agreements, dated December 6, 2005 and January 30, 2006, by and between each respective Buyer and the Company, and certain understandings between the Company and certain Buyers with respect to short sales of the Company’s capital stock, (i) that none of the Buyers have been asked by the Company or its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with the Company or its Subsidiaries, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by

the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) that any Buyer, and counter parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iii) that each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that one or more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined and (b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing Shareholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants or any of the documents executed in connection herewith.

(gg) Registration Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the Conversion Shares, the Dividend Shares and the Warrant Shares for resale by the Buyers using Form S-3 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

(hh) Manipulation of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.

(ii) U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not, nor has ever been, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company shall so certify upon Buyer’s request.

(jj) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Buyers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic information (other than (i) any such information which has been publicly disclosed prior to the date hereof and (ii) as to the Buyers other than Castlerigg, pro forma information with respect to Guardian International, Inc. (the “Guardian Information”). The Company understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each press release issued by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has

occurred or information exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

(kk) ERISA. The Company and each Person required to be aggregated with the Company and its Subsidiaries under Sections 414(b),(c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (each such Person, an “ERISA Affiliate”) is in compliance with ERISA, except for such failures to comply that, in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have an Material Adverse Effect and no contributions required to be made by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to any pension plan are overdue. No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) has been or is expected to be incurred by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate with respect to any pension plan that, individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No circumstance exists that constitutes grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA entitling the PBGC to institute proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administer, any pension plan or trust created thereunder, nor has the PBGC instituted any such proceeding. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any multiemployer plan except for such withdrawal liability that, in the aggregate of all such liabilities, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There have been no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in section 4043 of ERISA) with respect to any multiemployer plan that could result in the termination of such multiemployer plan and give rise to a liability of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate in respect thereof except for such “reportable events” that in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ll) Shareholder Approval. The Company has received the approval of its shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the Company’s governing documents of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K providing for (x) the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to provide for the creation of the Preferred Shares and the entering into of the Certificate of Designations and (y) the Company’s issuance of all of the Securities as described in the Transaction Documents in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (such affirmative approval being referred to herein as the “Shareholder Approval”).

(b) Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the applicable Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyers at the applicable Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of

any such action so taken to the Buyers on or prior to the applicable Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the applicable Closing Date.

(c) Reporting Status.

(d) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as set forth in the private placement memorandum previously delivered to the Buyers, and not for, except with respect to any of the indebtedness owed by the Company to CapitalSource Finance LLC or any of the indebtedness owed by Guardian International, Inc. to third parties or with respect to the outstanding shares of preferred stock of Guardian International, Inc. or as specifically set forth on Schedule 4(d), (A) repayment of any outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) redemption or repurchase of any of its or its Subsidiaries’ equity securities.

Unless filed with the SEC through EDGAR and are available to the public through the EDGAR system, the Company agrees to send the following to each Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) during the Reporting Period (i) within one (1) Business Day after the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Reports and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 10-Q or 10-QSB, any interim reports or any consolidated balance sheets, income statements, shareholders’ equity statements and/or cash flow statements for any period other than annual, any Current Reports on Form 8-K and any registration statements (other than on Form S-8) or amendments filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, (ii) within one (1) Business Day after release thereof, facsimile copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) copies of any notices and other information made available or given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the making available or giving thereof to the shareholders.

The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(f).

(g) Fees. The Company shall reimburse Steelhead or its designee(s) (in addition to any other expense amounts paid to any Buyer prior to the date of this Agreement) for all reasonable costs and expenses, in the amount of $100,000, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and due diligence in connection therewith, which amount shall be non-accountable, and shall be paid to Steelhead or its counsel within one (1) Business Day of execution of this Agreement. The Company shall reimburse Castlerigg or its designee(s) (in addition to any other expense amounts paid to any Buyer prior to the date of this Agreement) for all reasonable costs and expenses, not to exceed $7,500, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and due diligence in connection therewith, which amount shall be non-accountable and shall be paid to Castlerigg or its counsel within one (1) Business Day of execution of this Agreement.

The Company shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.

(h) Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by an Investor.

(i) Disclosure of Transactions and Other Material Information. On or before 8:30 a.m., New York Time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement (and all schedules to this Agreement), the form of Note, the form of Certificate of Designations, the form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement) (including all attachments, the “Initial 8-K Filing”). On or before 8:30 a.m., New York time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the Additional Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the Additional Closing and disclosing any previously undisclosed material, nonpublic information in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching any material transaction documents not previously filed as exhibits to such filing (including all attachments, the “Final 8-K Filing”, and collectively with the Initial 8-K Filing, the “8-K Filings”). From and after the filing with the SEC of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Form 10-K”) and as to the Guardian Information, on or after such information is made public, which shall occur by no later than May 15, 2006, the Company shall have disclosed any material nonpublic information delivered to the Buyers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers,

directors, employees and agents, not to, provide any Buyer with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the 2005 Form 10-K with the SEC without the express written consent of such Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filings or the 2005 Form 10-K and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Without the prior written consent of any applicable Buyer, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall disclose the name of any Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise.

(j) Additional Registration Statements. Until the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall not file a registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Securities.

(k) Notes, Additional Preferred Shares; Variable Securities; Dilutive Issuances. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes, neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, will, without the prior written consent of Buyers holding a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes, issue any Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) or other equity or equity-linked securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Preferred Shares and Warrants to the Buyers as contemplated hereby and other than in connection with an Approved Share Plan (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)). So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of Buyers holding a majority of the Preferred Shares, issue any Preferred Shares (other than to the Buyers as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Certificate of Designations or the Warrants. For so long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of Buyers holding a majority of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall not, in any manner, issue or sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock at a conversion, exchange or exercise price which varies or may vary after issuance with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise price of any such security cannot be less than the then applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) with respect to the Common Stock into which any Preferred Shares are convertible or the then applicable Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants) with respect to the Common Stock into which any Warrant is exercisable. For purposes of clarification, this does not prohibit the issuance of securities with customary “weighted average” or “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustments which adjust a fixed conversion or exercise price of securities sold by the Company in the future. For so long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of Buyers holding a majority of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any dilutive issuance if the effect of such dilutive issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or exercise of any Warrant any shares of Common Stock in

excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

(l) Corporate Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants.

(m) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than (i) 120% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof, that the Preferred Shares are convertible at the Conversion Price and without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth in the Certificate of Designations), (ii) 120% of the maximum number of Dividend Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, determined as if issued as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and assuming that all of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding until the Maturity Date, and (ii) 120% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants).

(n) Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(1) “Convertible Securities” means any stock or securities (other than Options) convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.

(2) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

(3) “Common Stock Equivalents” means, collectively, Options and Convertible Securities.

(ii) From the date hereof until the date that is thirty (30) Trading Days (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) after the Effective Date (the “Trigger Date”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time

during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).

(iii) From the Trigger Date until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the later of (x) the Additional Closing Deadline and (y) the Additional Closing Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless (x) such Subsequent Placement is not structured in any manner to avoid the application of this Section 4(o)(iii) and (y) the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(o)(iii).

(1) The Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyers a pro rata portion of the Offered Securities allocated among such Buyers (a) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of Preferred Shares purchased hereunder (the “Basic Amount”), and (b) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”).

(2) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the seventh (7^th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may do so on only two occasions and shall deliver to the Buyers a new Offer Notice (an “Amended Offer Notice”) and the Offer Period shall expire on the seventh (7^th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of any such Amended Offer Notice.

(3) The Company shall have forty-five (45) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (i) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part

of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

(4) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(o)(iii)(1) above.

(5) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyers and their respective counsel.

(6) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other persons in accordance with Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

(7) The Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Buyer prior to such Subsequent Placement, and (y) any registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement

Documents shall be similar in all material respects to the registration rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyers, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention on a Form 8-K to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that the Buyers will not be in possession of material non-public information, by the tenth (10^th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice or the last Amended Offer Notice, as the case may be. If by the tenth (10^th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice or the last Amended Offer Notice, as the case may be, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Buyers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o)(iii). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice (with the aforementioned right to deliver up to two Amended Offer Notices with respect thereto) to the Buyers in any sixty (60) day period.

(9) The restrictions contained in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).

The Company shall file with the SEC and provide each shareholder of the Company with an information statement complying with the requirements of the Exchange Act and substantially in the form that has been previously reviewed and approved by Steelhead and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP at the expense of the Company informing such shareholders of the actions taken in accordance with the Resolutions and of the Shareholder Approval. In addition to the foregoing, if required by any governmental or regulatory agency, the Company shall provide each shareholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholder Meeting”), which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than (x) in the event the applicable proxy statement is not reviewed by the SEC, April 15, 2006 and (y) otherwise, July 31, 2006 (the “Shareholder Meeting Deadline” and the actual date of such meeting, the “Shareholder Meeting Date”), a proxy statement, substantially in the form which has been previously reviewed and approved by the Buyers and one counsel of their choice at the expense of the Company, soliciting each such shareholder’s affirmative vote at the Shareholder Meeting for Shareholder Approval of the Resolutions (the date such approval is obtained, the “Shareholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of the Resolutions and to cause the Board to recommend to the shareholders that they approve the Resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain such Shareholder Approval by the Shareholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s best efforts the Shareholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Shareholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Shareholder Meeting to be held each

calendar quarter thereafter (or such longer period as is necessary to the extent of SEC comments on any proxy statement) until such Shareholder Approval is obtained.

(q) Nasdaq Compliance. The Company shall regain compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1) of the Nasdaq Stock Market within the cure period established by Nasdaq for such compliance.

(r) Competing Transactions. Prior to the Additional Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall they authorize or permit any of their officers, directors, employees or affiliates or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance) or solicit offers, inquiries or proposals for, or entertain any offer, inquiry or proposal to enter into, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, or enter into discussions or negotiate with any Person or entity in furtherance of: (A) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (B) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a single transaction or series of transactions; (C) any acquisition of any shares or interests (however designated) of capital stock of the Company, its Subsidiaries or a corporation, any and all equivalent ownership or equity interests in any Person and any and all warrant, options or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, any of the foregoing; or (D) any other equity investment in the Company (any of the foregoing, a “Competing Transaction”), (ii) provide information to any other person regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries (except in the ordinary course of business), or (iii) conduct any discussions or negotiations, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, regarding a Competing Transaction. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall instruct and order all of their officers, directors, employees and affiliates and all investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. The Company and its Subsidiaries agree not to release any Person or group other than the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Preferred Shares and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Preferred Shares and the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the number of Preferred Shares held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection upon reasonable prior notice of any Buyer or its legal representatives.

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares, and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute

hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Confidentiality Agreement which is terminated hereby, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Shares issued and issuable hereunder, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same

consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Preferred Shares or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

If to a Buyer, to its address and facsimile number set forth on the Schedule of Buyers, with copies to such Buyer’s representatives as set forth on the Schedule of Buyers,

or to such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issued and issuable hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3 and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive each Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Indemnification. In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend,

protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(l) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

(n) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,

declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(o) No Effect Upon Lending Relationships. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of CapitalSource Finance LLC or its affiliates in their capacities as lenders pursuant to the CapitalSource Credit Agreements, including, without limitation, in exercising its rights as a lender and making any decision on whether to foreclose on any collateral security, and they shall not have any duty to consider (a) their status as a direct or indirect equityholder of the Company, (b) the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any obligations they may have as a lender) or (c) any duty they may have to any other direct or indirect equityholder of the Company, except as may be required under the applicable loan documents, by commercial law applicable to creditors generally or pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(p) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

AMENDMENTS TO CURRENT REPORTS ON FORM 8-K/A, DATED EACH OF FEBRUARY 28, 2005, NOVEMBER 10, 2005 AND MARCH 6, 2006

Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

This current report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements a current report on Form 8-K filed by Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation (“Devcon”), through Devcon Security Services Corp. (“Devcon Security”), one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, on February 28, 2005 in connection with the acquisition on February 28, 2005 of certain net assets of the electronic security services operation of Adelphia Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Adelphia”).

The following financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto are incorporated herein by reference:

The following financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto are incorporated herein by reference:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration Statements on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-119158) and on Forms S-8 (Registration No. 33-32968, No. 33-59557 and No. 333-92231) of Devcon International Corp. of our report dated March 29, 2005 relating to the Consolidated financial statements of Starpoint, Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended, which appears in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Devcon International Corp. dated May 16, 2005.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Starpoint, Limited Partnership (“Starpoint”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) (debtors-in-possession) as of December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As more fully described in Note 2, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on June 25, 2002, Starpoint, Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, along with its parent company, Adelphia Communications Corporation filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As more fully described in Note 10, on February 28, 2005, Devcon International Corp. completed the acquisition of the assets of Starpoint, Limited Partnership for approximately $40.2 million. The effects of this purchase by Devcon International Corp. on the Company’s operations have not been considered in these financial statements. Following this purchase, the Company had no continuing operations.

In our opinion, except for as noted in the above paragraph, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Starpoint, Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries (debtors-in-possession) at December 31, 2004 and the results of their operations, and changes in partners’ capital and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Organization - Starpoint, Limited Partnership has one General Partner, West Boca Acquisition Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, owning a one percent general partner interest. The remaining 99% is limited partner interests. Starpoint, Limited Partnership’s general and limited partners are wholly owned by Adelphia Communications Corporation (“Adelphia” or “Parent”).

Partnership Interests and Allocations of Income - Each partner has an undivided interest in the partnership equal to its partnership interest. All profits, losses, and credits are allocated to the partners in accordance with their partnership interest.

Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Starpoint, Limited Partnership, a company organized under the laws of Pennsylvania, and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Starpoint”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Starpoint, Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates companies which it owns or controls more than fifty percent of the voting shares unless control is likely to be temporary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business - The Company markets, sells and installs commercial and residential security alarm systems and provides central station monitoring services primarily in Florida and New York.

Revenue Recognition - Monitoring revenues are recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of customer contracts, in which contract prices are fixed and determinable. The Company assesses the customer’s ability to meet the terms of the contract, including payment terms, before entering into contracts. Amounts collected in advance from customers for monitoring and related services are deferred and recognized as income over the applicable monitoring period, which is generally one year or less. The direct costs of acquiring new subscribers are deferred and recognized over the estimated term of the subscriber relationship, which is generally eight years. When a subscriber is identified for disconnection, any unamortized deferred revenues and deferred costs are recognized at that time.

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized according to the terms of the sales arrangement, which is customarily when the products reach the free-on-board shipping point. Revenue from the sale of services is recognized as services are rendered.

Advertising - The Company expenses all advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $71,079 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable - The Company reports trade receivables at net realizable value. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical losses and current economic conditions. On a continuing basis, management analyzes delinquent receivables and, once these receivables are determined to be uncollectible, they are written off through a charge against the allowance. The Company charges no late fees or interest on delinquent accounts. Accounts substantially in arrears are sent to a collection agency.

The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts, and other currently available evidence.

Inventories - Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value. Inventories include purchased parts and accessories used for installation and maintenance of security systems. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on analysis of inventory levels and forecasts.

Customer Contracts - Pools of customer monitoring contracts are acquired periodically from vendors primarily in Florida. Acquired customer contracts are recorded at cost which management believes best approximates fair value at the date of acquisition.

Customer contracts are amortized over the term that such contracts are expected to remain customers of the Company, approximately eight years. This amortization period takes into consideration the average estimated life and historical and projected attrition rates determined from actual experience and a recent attrition study. The Company on an ongoing basis conducts comprehensive reviews of its attrition experience and adjusts the estimated lives of customer contracts. Revenues resulting from the installation of Company-owned security systems or systems that are priced lower than otherwise would be priced because of an accompanying service agreement, are deferred and amortized over the estimated lives of the customer contracts, including extensions. Direct incremental costs related to these installations are deferred to the extent of the deferred revenue.

During the first six months after the purchase of the customer contracts, any cancellation of monitoring service, including those that result from customer payment delinquencies, results in a chargeback by the Company to the dealer of the full amount of the contract purchase price. The nonrefundable charge to the dealer is retained by the Company in the event of customer cancellation. The Company records the chargeback amount from the dealer as a reduction of the previously recorded intangible asset.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred, renewals and betterments are capitalized. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company capitalized no interest. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally as follows:

Long-Lived Assets - The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. When indicators of impairment are present, the carrying values of the assets are evaluated in relation to the operating performance and estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying asset. An impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value. The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value. Fair values are based on assumptions considering the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.

Accrued Product Warranty - Generally, the Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale when material. Any additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Generally, one year manufacturers product warranties are implicit in the sale; however, the customer may purchase a one year extended warranty that can be renewed annually over the life of the equipment. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage. At December 31, 2004, the Company has not recorded a reserve for estimated warranty expenses since the amounts are not considered significant.

In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not significantly affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Income Taxes - The Partnership is not a taxpaying entity for federal or state income tax purposes. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes has not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Partnership income or losses are reflected in the partners’ individual or corporate income tax returns in accordance with their ownership percentages. The partnership’s tax bases approximates the reported book bases of the partnership’s assets and liabilities.

Vacation Policy - Each full time employee who has successfully completed his or her probationary period of ninety days and has less than five years of continuous service with the Company is entitled to ten days of paid vacation per year. Employees with more than five years and less than ten years of service are entitled to fifteen days of vacation with pay. Those with more than ten years of service are entitled to twenty days of vacation with pay each year. Employees can carry five days of accrued vacation from year to year.

Accounting Pronouncements - During 2004, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees.” FIN 45 requires increased disclosure of guarantees, including those for which likelihood of payment is remote, and product warranty information. FIN 45 also requires that guarantors recognize a liability for certain types of guarantees equal to the fair value of the guarantee upon its issuance. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses whether business enterprises must consolidate the financial statements of entities known as “variable interest entities”. A variable interest entity is defined by FIN 46 to be a business entity which has one or both of the following characteristics: (1) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses at the entity; and (2) the equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (a) direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities, or (c) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur, which is the compensation for risk of absorbing expected losses. The Company adopted FIN 46’s accounting provisions for the year ended December 31, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on results of operations or financial position.

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” which supersedes SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” The issuance of SAB 104 reflects the concepts contained in EITF 00-21. The other revenue recognition concepts contained in SAB 101 remain largely unchanged. The issuance of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

On June 25, 2002 (the “Petition Date”), the parent company, Adelphia Communications Corporation along with its subsidiaries, including Starpoint, Limited Partnership, filed voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as debtor-in-possession. These claims are reflected in the December 31, 2004, consolidated balance sheet as “liabilities subject to compromise.” Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from rejection of executor contract, including leases, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. Claims secured against the Debtor’s assets (“secured claims”) also are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for relief from the stay.

The Debtor received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise honor certain of its prepetition obligations including, but not limited to, employee wages, salaries, commissions, incentive compensation and other related benefits.

The Company purchases various pools of monitoring contracts from security companies in Florida and New York based on multiples of the recurring monthly revenues. There were no acquisitions or sales of customer contracts in 2004. Customer contracts at December 31, 2004 are summarized as follow:

During the year ended December 31, 2003 an impairment test was performed on the book value of the customer contracts. This test resulted in an impairment charge to the operations of that year. An analysis of the estimated average customer lives was performed in conjunction with this impairment test that resulted in no change to the amortization period of approximately eight years.

Adelphia, the parent company, provides administrative services and incurs certain direct costs, on behalf of Starpoint. Payroll, legal, accounting, equipment related expenses, and reorganization costs are incurred by Adelphia and charged back to Starpoint. The total charges for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $1,838,829, including $307,518 in reorganization items.

Employees of Starpoint, Limited Partnership participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by its parent company. Participants may contribute from 1% to 25% of their compensation each year on a pre-tax basis, subject to IRS limitations. The Company matches an amount equal to 100% of the first 3%, plus 50% of the next 2%, of a participant’s contribution. Employees participating in the plan are vested immediately. Company matching contributions for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $92,076.

Due to related party represents global overhead allocations and other advances from its parent, Adelphia. The amounts are repaid periodically as cash flow permits. The activity during the year is summarized as follows:

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $188,236 in excess of the limits of FDIC coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables from a large number of customers, including both residential and commercial customers. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business, performs periodic credit evaluations and maintains allowances for the potential credit losses. The Company does not believe a significant risk of loss from a concentration of credit risk exists.

On February 28, 2005, Devcon International Corp. (“Devcon”), through Devcon Security Services Corp. (“Devcon Security”), one of its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of all of the assets of Starpoint, Limited Partnership for approximately $40,200,000 in cash. The transaction received approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court. The balance of the amounts due to the parent company as of the disposition date was absorbed by the parent company. The effects of this purchase by Devcon on the Company’s operations have not been considered in these financial statements.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations combine the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Starpoint Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries (“Starpoint”). On February 28, 2005, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Starpoint for $40.2 million in cash, plus transaction costs, which amounted to approximately $0.5 million. We have recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. We have utilized $24.6 million of the $35.0 million available under our credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of February 28, 2005, to pay a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition; the balance of the purchase price, including payment of transaction costs, was satisfied by using cash on hand.

We derived the audited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations data from our audited consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and the audited financial statements of Starpoint for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The financial statements used in preparing the pro forma financial data are summarized and should be read in conjunction with our complete historical consolidated financial statements filed in Form 10-K, on April 15, 2005.

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, gives effect to the purchase of Starpoint using the purchase method of accounting as if the acquisition and the borrowings under the Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition had been consummated on December 31, 2004. The pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 gives effect to the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting as if the acquisition and the Credit Agreement had been consummated at January 1, 2004. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet and pro forma consolidated statements of operations also give effect to certain adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition of Starpoint.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions that are deemed appropriate by the Company’s management. We are providing the pro forma consolidated financial information for illustrative purposes only. The companies may have performed differently had they been combined during the periods presented. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies actually been combined during the periods presented or the future results that the combined company will experience. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not give effect to any cost savings or operating synergies expected to result from the acquisition or the costs to achieve such cost savings or operating synergies.

Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

This current report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements a current report on Form 8-K filed by Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation (“Devcon”), through Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“Devcon Security”), one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, on November 16, 2005 in connection with the purchase on November 10, 2005 of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coastal Security Company, a Delaware corporation (“CSC”).

The following financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto are incorporated herein by reference:

The following financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto are incorporated herein by reference:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

As independent public accountants, we hereby consent to the use of our report dated January 31, 2005, except for Note 15, as to which date is December 13, 2005, relating to the consolidated financial statements of Coastal Security Company and its Subsidiary, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, by Devcon International Corp. as part of this Form 8-K.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coastal Security Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coastal Security Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 15, the 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial statements have been restated.

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coastal Security Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Coastal Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Organization - The Company commenced operations in November 2002 and is engaged in the selling, servicing and monitoring of electronic security systems. The Company’s primary market is the State of Florida.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid instruments, with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts with a major financial institution, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists on the cash balances.

Inventories - Inventories, including supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist of parts for alarm installations and replacement parts for maintenance. Uncompleted installations are included in inventories at the accumulated costs of the components and labor.

Property and equipment - Property and equipment are stated at their original cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is generally computed using accelerated methods. Under these accelerated methods the Company switches to straight-line depreciation after a fixed period of time. Property and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives, which approximates 5 - 7 years. Gains and losses from sales are included in current operations.

Intangibles - The Company has capitalized loan acquisition fees, customer contracts purchased and non-compete agreements. These intangible costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of acquired intangible assets to determine whether an impairment may exist. The Company considers relevant cash flow and profitability information, including estimated future operating results, trends and other available information, in assessing whether the carrying value of intangible assets can be recovered. If it is determined that the carrying value of intangible assets will not be recovered, the carrying value of such intangible assets would be considered impaired and reduced by a charge to operations in the amount of the impairment. The Company has determined that there was no impairment as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Income taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized.

Revenue recognition and unearned revenues - Revenue from services or installations are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations as services are rendered or installations are completed. Monitoring fees which consist of subscriber billings for services not yet rendered, are deferred and taken into income as earned and the deferred element is included as unearned revenue in current liabilities.

Stock options - The Company has adopted the fair value based method of accounting prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation for its employee stock option plan.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION – Continued

Trade accounts receivable and credit policies - Trade accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date.

The carrying amount of trade accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all trade accounts receivable balances that exceed 90 days from invoice date and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Additionally, management estimates for a general allowance an amount based on actual losses in preceding years adjusted for management’s estimate of any changes in future economic conditions that might give rise to results that differ from past experience.

Use of estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. This affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts and depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, advertising expense was approximately $155,000 and $146,000, respectively.

Customer contracts purchased - The Company has entered into agreements with other security companies (dealers), under which it agrees to purchase their customer contracts. The contract agreements also provide for a holdback, usually 10% of the purchase price, in the event customers cancel their contracts. The seller usually has two options, either to replace the customer contract with a new customer, or the residual value of the contract will be offset against the holdback amount. The holdback is paid out over a pre-determined term prescribed in each respective contract. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, holdbacks amounted to $586,430 and $289,440, respectively.

Accumulated amortization – Customer contracts are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives of seven years. The seven-year amortization period is management’s best estimate of the average life of a typical customer based on historical experience within the industry. The Company evaluates acquired customer contracts periodically to assess whether an impairment may exist.

As management has estimated this amortization, it is at least reasonably possible that actual lives of these contracts could be greater than or less than this estimate. If so, the amortization period would be changed thus increasing or decreasing amortization expense in the future. At December 31, 2004 and 2003 customer contracts purchased consisted of the following:

Amortization expense was $3,787,239 and $4,186,701 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for the five succeeding years ending December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2009 and thereafter are as follows: 2005 - $3,876,000; 2006 - $3,627,000; 2007 - $3,533,000; 2008 - $3,485,000 and 2009 - $3,143,000 and thereafter - $2,530,000.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003 property and equipment consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense was $359,548 and $323,976 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement on May 28, 2004, amending the existing credit agreement to increase the amount available for borrowing under a revolving line of credit from $10,000,000 to $18,000,000 and to re-establish the term loan at the original amount of $7,000,000. Availability of borrowings under the line of credit is based on a formula as defined in the credit agreement. Direct borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR rate or the prime rate, at the option of the Company, plus the applicable margin (as defined in the credit agreement). Under the terms of the line of credit the available maximum line of commitment is reduced by $1,125,000 each August, November, February and May commencing on August 31, 2007 and ending on the maturity date May 28, 2011. The term loan is payable in 84 equal installments of $83,333 plus interest through May 28, 2011. All borrowings are collateralized by all assets of the Company and guaranteed by Coastal Security Company. The provisions of this agreement require that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and also maintain a compensating balance equal to a minimum of $250,000. The Company pays a fee for its revolving credit line. The amount outstanding under the agreement at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $17,316,667 and $10,438,333, respectively and the interest rate at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately 5.5% and 4.5% respectively.

Minimum payments of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2004 and thereafter are summarized as follows:

The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities under non-cancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates through the year 2008. These leases require the company to pay its pro rata share of common area maintenance. Also, the Company leases certain equipment under long-term lease agreements. These leases are classified as operating leases and expire at various dates through the year 2009. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases for the years subsequent to December 31, 2004, are as follows:

Rent expense was $327,381 and $263,776 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company files a consolidated Federal and Florida corporate income tax return with its subsidiary. The Company’s effective rate differs from the statutory federal rate primarily as a result of the valuation allowance described below, state income taxes, certain permanent differences and net operating loss carryforwards.

The provision for income taxes as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 consists of the following:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for significant income and expense items recognized in different years for tax and financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences, which give, rise to significant deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets as the Company’s ability to realize these benefits is not “more likely than not”. Accordingly, no net deferred tax asset is reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

The Company has a defined contribution 401K Plan (the “Plan”) under which an employee may defer a portion of their salary. The Plan is open to all employees that have reached the age of 18 and have completed ninety days of service. Employees may defer up to 15% of their compensation under the Plan. The Company has elected to contribute an amount equal to 50% of the employee’s contribution, not to exceed $2,000 for a Plan year. Employees earn a vested interest of 33% per year over three years of the employer’s contribution. The Company’s contributions to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled approximately $68,400 and $63,200, respectively.

The Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently engaged in any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has a fixed stock option plan under which the Company may grant options to key employees, officers, directors and independent contractors for up to a total 15,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option equals $1.83. The option’s maximum term is ten years and they vest over four years.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair value:

The Company’s Board of Directors during 2004, granted 360 stock options with a determined fair value of $918. Compensation cost, related to the options, charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $549 and $543, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and changes during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

The weighted-average remaining contractual life for stock options outstanding at December 31, 2004 is 7.83 years.

The Series A and Series B cumulative convertible preferred stock have been classified as liabilities in accordance with FASB Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.

In May 2004 the Board of Directors issued 117,648 shares of 8% series B cumulative convertible preferred stock for $2,000,016. Each share of series A and B preferred stock is convertible into 1 share of common stock and are entitled to cumulative dividends. These dividends are calculated at a rate of 8% per annum compounded annually on the sum of $12.1795 for each share of series A preferred stock outstanding and at a rate of 8% per annum compounded annually on the sum of $17.00 for each share of series B preferred stock outstanding. Preferred stockholders are entitled to voting privileges and liquidation preferences.

The Series A preferred stock has a par value of $.01 per share with 780,000 shares authorized, issued and outstanding. The Series B preferred stock has a par value of $.01 per share with 117,648 shares authorized, issued and outstanding.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003 dividends in arrears on the Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock was $1,689,146 and $860,320, respectively and on Series B cumulative convertible preferred stock, dividends in arrears at December 31, 2004 was $96,900.

Under a mandatory redemption provision, the Company is required to redeem all preferred stock on November 30, 2011 or such earlier date that is not less than thirty days following the date upon which obligations under the bank agreements (see Note 4) have been paid in full. Under certain conditions this redemption can be deferred by a vote of at least a majority of the outstanding preferred stockholders. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 the aggregate liquidation preferences are as follows:

At December 31, 2004, the Company has reserved 897,647 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock for possible future issuance in connection with conversion of preferred stock.

In November 2002, the Company paid $1,200,000 in consideration for non-compete agreements with two stockholders for a term beginning November 18, 2002 and ending three years after termination or cessation of employment. These non-compete agreements are being amortized over 5 years on a straight-line basis.

Amortization expense was $240,000 for each year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The estimated amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2007 are as follows: 2005 - $240,000; 2006 - $240,000 and 2007 - $200,000.

During 2004, the Company distributed 44,250 shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered by one of its stockholders. The cost of the services, which amounted to $40,250, has been charged to operations and additional paid-in capital has been increased by $39,807, representing the excess of the cost of the services over the par value of the common stock issued.

On May 28, 2004, the Company distributed 14,205 shares of common stock in connection with a stock dividend. As a result of the stock dividend, common stock was increased by $142, additional paid-in capital was increased by $52,984 and accumulated deficit was increased by $53,126.

The Company has restated its previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements for the years 2004 and 2003. The restatement resulted from the Company’s requirement to provide financial statements, which are in compliancy with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB-104”) and Regulation S-X, to Devcon Security Holdings (“Devcon”) due to Devcon’s acquisition of the Company.

A summary of the effects of the restatement on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets follows:

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of the stock of Coastal Security Company (“Coastal”) by Devcon International Corp. (the “Company”) for approximately $50.7 million using the purchase method of accounting.

Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

This current report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements a current report on Form 8-K filed by Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation (“Devcon”), through Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“Devcon Security”), one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, on March 8, 2006 in connection with the purchase on March 6, 2006 of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guardian International, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Guardian”).

The following financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto are incorporated herein by reference:

The following financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto are incorporated herein by reference:

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

As independent certified public accountants, we hereby consent to the use of our report dated March 6, 2006 relating to the consolidated financial statements of Guardian International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, by Devcon International Corp. as part of this Form 8-K. It should be noted that we have performed no audit procedures subsequent to March 6, 2006, the date of our report. Furthermore, we have not audited any financial statements of Guardian International, Inc. as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2005.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Guardian International, Inc. (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Guardian International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, on November 9, 2005, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Devcon Acquisition, Inc., a subsidiary of Devcon International, Corp. (“Devcon”). Devcon provided as consideration a $3,000,000 deposit which was held in escrow. On March 6, 2006, the Company completed the merger transaction with Devcon. The merger resulted in the sale of all Class A and Class B common shares, the redemption of all Series E preferred shares (including accrued cash dividends to March 6, 2006), the redemption of all Series D preferred shares and the repayment in full of the senior credit facility. In conjunction with the closing of the merger transaction, no further dividends accrued on the Series D preferred shares after December 31, 2005.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) is a provider of monitoring (retail and wholesale), maintenance services, sales and installation for high-grade electronic security and fire alarm systems to commercial and residential customers primarily in the states of Florida and New York.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guardian, a Florida corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $37.7 million and negative working capital of approximately $3.9 million. Net income (losses) for 2005 and 2004 were approximately $0.8 million and $(0.7) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, the Company believes it will maintain the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future operations of the business. Generally, cash flows will be generated from a combination of: (i) recurring revenue from its security monitoring customer base, and (ii) the Company’s existing $25.0 million credit facility (“the Credit Facility”), subject to compliance with the provisions of the debt covenants. At December 31, 2005, there was approximately $10.8 million of excess availability under the credit facility.

Installation Revenue. On installations for which the Company retains title to the electronic security systems or provides monitoring services subsequent to the installation, the installation revenue is deferred and amortized over the longer of the term of the service agreement or the estimated eight year life of the customer relationship. When a customer to whom Guardian is providing monitored services cancels the service, any deferred revenue balance is recognized in the period in which the cancellation occurs. All other installation revenues are recognized in the period in which the installation is completed.

Monitoring/Service Revenue. Customers are billed for monitoring and maintenance services primarily on a monthly or quarterly basis in advance of the period in which such services are provided. Unearned revenues result from billings in advance of performance of services. Contracts for these services are generally for an initial non-cancelable term of three or five years with renewal on an annual basis thereafter, the majority of which are automatic renewals, unless terminated by either party.

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date acquired are considered cash equivalents.

Customer accounts purchased from alarm dealers are reflected at cost. The cost of purchased accounts is based on the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of purchased customer accounts is capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of ten years. For those accounts which cancel during the amortization period, an estimate of the remaining carrying value of the accounts is expensed in the period in which the accounts

cancel. It is the Company’s policy to perform periodic evaluations of acquired customer account attrition and, if necessary, to adjust the remaining useful lives. The Company periodically estimates future cash flows from customer accounts to determine whether any impairment has occurred. If the estimated future cash flows are less than their unamortized cost, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount that the unamortized cost of customer accounts exceeds their estimated fair value.

All direct installation costs, which include materials, direct labor and commissions, where the Company retains title to the electronic security system, related to installations that result in deferred installation revenue, are capitalized on an agreement-by-agreement basis to the extent such costs do not exceed the total of deferred installation revenue and expected margin from monitoring services during the initial service contract term. To the extent such costs exceed the total of deferred installation revenue and expected margin from monitoring services during the initial service contract term, the excess is expensed as installation and operating expense in the period in which the installation is completed. Capitalized installation costs, to the extent of deferred installation revenue, are expensed over the longer of the term of the service agreement or the estimated eight-year life of the customer relationship. Capitalized installation costs in excess of deferred installation revenues, but which are less than the expected margin from monitoring services during the initial service contract term, are expensed over the initial term of the service agreement. Capitalized materials and direct labor costs, which are included in property and equipment, net as station equipment at customer location totaling approximately $12.1 million and $11.5 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are expensed as depreciation; capitalized commissions, which are included in capitalized commissions and other assets totaling approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are expensed as installation and service operating expense over the same periods as described above. When a customer to whom Guardian is providing monitored services cancels the service, any capitalized cost balance is recognized in the period in which the cancellation occurs.

Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a purchase business combination. With the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test. The impairment loss is the amount, if any, by which the estimated fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets is less than its carrying value. The Company performed the required annual assessment for impairment as of January 1, 2005 and 2004, and determined that no impairment loss was required.

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically reviewed and impairments are recognized when expected future cash flows derived from such intangibles are less than their carrying value. Included in other intangible assets are deferred financing costs which are amortized over the respective terms of associated long-term debt obligations using the effective interest method.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are comprised of alarm systems, parts, and work in process. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables from a large number of customers, including both commercial and residential. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business, performs periodic credit evaluations and maintains an allowance for potential doubtful accounts.

Property and equipment are stated at cost and consist of station equipment at customer locations, vehicles, furniture and office equipment, and leasehold improvements (see Note 4). Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for property and equipment range from three to seven years and the estimated useful life for leasehold improvements is the lesser of economic life or the lease term.

Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short term maturities.

The carrying amount of the Company’s credit facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are based on floating rates identified by reference to market rates. The fair value of the Company’s other long-term debt approximates carrying value. The estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized at year-end or may be realized in the future.

The Company has established deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Revised Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). The statement is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” This statement requires the Company to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options in the Statement of Operations. In addition, the Company will be required to calculate this compensation using the fair-value based method, versus the intrinsic value method previously allowed under SFAS No. 123. This revision is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the amount of impact on the consolidated statements of operations following adoption and subsequent to adoption or the transition method that will be used.

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per common share, which assumes that the convertible Preferred Stock is converted (exchange ratio 333.3333:1) into Class A Voting Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) and the stock options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (see Note 11) are exercised, is the same as basic loss per common share because the effect would be anti-dilutive for both 2005 and 2004. The weighted average shares outstanding used in the computation of net loss attributable to common shares for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, are as follows:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, (SFAS No. 148), requires prominent disclosures in financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company applies the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as allowed by SFAS Nos. 123 and 148, and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

At December 31, 2005, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 11. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under that plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss applicable to common shares and basic and diluted net loss per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation. These amounts were determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company operated under a single reportable segment providing alarm monitoring services and selling and installing alarm systems to residential and commercial customers in the United States. Accordingly, no further segment reporting beyond the consolidated financial statements is presented.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.

Certain 2004 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

The following is an analysis of the changes in acquired customer accounts for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:

The accumulated amortization of customer accounts was approximately $30.5 million and $28.4 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Property and equipment, net, consists of the following at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Included in property and equipment at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $930,000 and approximately $780,000 of assets held under capital leases. The accumulated depreciation on such assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $498,000 and $344,000, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization related to property and equipment (including amortization of assets held under capital leases) was approximately $3.7 million and $3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Other intangible assets, net, consist of the following at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Amortization of deferred financing costs, included in interest expense, was approximately $64,000 and $103,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

At December 31, 2005, future amortization of deferred financing costs are estimated to be as follows:

Credit Facility. On May 26, 2004, the Company amended its existing $20.0 million senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a financial institution, increasing the Credit Facility to $25.0 million. The Credit Facility has an expiration date of May 2008. Under the Credit Facility, borrowings bear interest at floating rates, either at a certain index rate plus 1³/4% (7.25% at December 31, 2005) or, at the Company’s election, LIBOR plus a range between 3.0% and 3.5 %, depending upon a certain financial covenant. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to meet certain financial performance covenants. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2005, $10.8 million was available under the Credit Facility.

Capital Lease Obligations. The Company has entered into various lease agreements for vehicles. These leases have been capitalized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States using interest rates which vary from 4.44% to 7.86%. See Note 8.

Equipment Notes. Equipment notes payable and other related to the purchase of a vehicle. The interest rate was 5.9%. The notes were repaid during 2005.

The Company experiences routine litigation in the normal conduct of its business. The Company believes that any such pending litigation will not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company is being examined by New York State taxing authorities for the tax years 2000 through 2002. The examination concerns the combined filing status of the Company as it reports its business operations in New York State and the amount of assessments paid as it relates to these operations. No assessments have been levied to date. The Company believes that the tax returns have been accurately filed and that no further assessments are warranted.

The Company leases its corporate headquarters from a corporation owned by individuals who are directors, officers and principal shareholders of the Company. The current lease commenced on January 1, 2003 and expires on December 31, 2007, with a renewal option for an additional five years under the same terms and conditions. The annual rent is approximately $241,000, with annual increases equal to the Consumer Price

Index for All Urban Consumers but not less than three percent (3%). The Company records minimal rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease to accommodate the scheduled rent escalations. For 2005 the rent increased at a 3% rate. The terms of the lease are no less favorable to the Company than those which could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

The Company leases space in New York, New York from an independent third party. The lease expires in December 2009. The annual rent is approximately $117,000.

The Company also leases office space in Miami and Tampa, Florida and in Staten Island, New York. The leases expire on various dates through July 2008 and most are renewable at the option of the Company. The annual rent for these three facilities is approximately $155,000.

At December 31, 2005 future minimum payments under operating leases and capital leases are as follows:

At December 31, 2005 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $2 million, which begin to expire in 2009. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

The Company’s deferred tax assets have not been benefited for financial reporting purposes because there is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to offset such losses.

As discussed in Note 12, on March 6, 2006, there was a change in control of the Company. This change in control may limit or prohibit the future utilization of the net operating losses.

The Company, Westar Energy, Inc. and its subsidiary, Westar Investments, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Westar”) are parties to a stockholders agreement (“Stockholders Agreement”) relating to Westar’s

ownership of shares of the Company’s Series C, Series D and Series E Preferred Stock. The Stockholders Agreement, among other things, (i) places certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares held by the stockholders; (ii) grants the Company a first offer right to purchase shares prior to the transfer of such shares by a stockholder; and (iii) imposes certain limitations on the voting rights of the stockholders.

The Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock (“the Series C”) was reflected as a liability at December 31, 2003, in accordance with SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, at its redeemable liquidation value of $8.4 million. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 as of July 1, 2003 resulted in the related dividends being recorded as interest expense rather than a charge to equity. The interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $336,000. In July 2004, the Series C was redeemed for $8.4 million in accordance with its redemption provisions (which mandated redemption no later than October 2004). Prior to this redemption, the Company executed an agreement with Westar, the record owner of the Series C, dated July 2, 2004, whereby Westar agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses the Company may suffer as a result of its payment of the redemption proceeds to Westar.

The Series D Preferred Stock is currently convertible at a rate of 333.3333 shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock have no voting rights until such shares are converted into Class A Common Stock, except at any time the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Article III of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and except for certain statutory voting rights which may arise under Florida law). During November 2000, the Company amended the terms of its Series D Preferred Stock to eliminate the redemption feature that occurred upon a Change of Control, as defined. The Series D Preferred Stock allows for redemption by the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock in the event that certain significant shareholders dispose of their holdings. However, those significant shareholders must seek the approval of the Company prior to disposing of their shares. These changes were effected to more clearly reflect the intentions of the parties at the time of the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Company can elect to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock. Dividends are payable annually either in cash or in additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock, at the Company’s option. To date, the Company has elected to issue additional Series D Preferred Stock to satisfy the dividend. As of December 31, 2005, 861 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are reflected, representing the 2005 dividend. See Note 12.

The Series E Preferred Stock is non-voting, except upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Article III of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and except for certain statutory voting rights which may arise under Florida law). The Series E Preferred Stock allows for redemption by the holder of the Series E Preferred Stock in the event that certain significant shareholders dispose of their holdings. However, those significant shareholders must seek the approval of the Company prior to disposing of their shares. The Company can elect to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock. Dividends are payable quarterly in cash and have been declared each quarter since the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock. See Note 12.

For the period from January 2003 to January 2004, cash dividends on the Series C and Series E Preferred Stock were paid into escrow and the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be issued as dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock were not issued, due to a dispute among Westar, as the record owner of the Preferred Stock, and certain of its former executive officers regarding entitlement to those dividends. On April 2, 2004, the cash dividends were paid to Westar and the stock dividends were issued to Westar upon receipt by the Company of an agreement dated March 30, 2004 from Westar indemnifying and holding the Company harmless from any losses the Company may suffer as a result of its payment of the cash dividends and issuance of the stock dividends to Westar.

The 2005 and 2004 cash dividends paid on the Series E Preferred Stock and the preferred stock dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock are reflected as having been paid or issued in the applicable year in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.

The Company has established the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the Plan, the Company may award options to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant, and incentive stock options granted to persons owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting power must be granted at not less than 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Incentive stock options issued by the Company may not be exercised within less than one year from the date of the grant.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Exercise prices on the outstanding options range from $.69 to $1.73 and have remaining contractual lives of 2 to 6 years.

In February 2003, the Company granted 75,000 warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock to one director and 25,000 warrants to another director for assisting management with certain services during the year. The warrants were issued at an exercise price of $0.56 per share (the fair value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of the grant). These warrants vest equally over three years and expire ten years from the date they were granted. These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on a risk-free interest rate of 3.95%, an expected volatility of common stock of 120%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected life of 10 years for the warrants.

Approximately $19,000 and $34,000 was recorded as an expense for these warrants within the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

On November 9, 2005, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Devcon Acquisition, Inc., a subsidiary of Devcon International, Corp. (“Devcon”). Devcon provided as consideration a $3,000,000 deposit which was held in escrow.

On March 6, 2006, the Company completed the merger transaction with Devcon. The merger resulted in the sale of all Class A and Class B common shares, the redemption of all Series E preferred shares (including accrued cash dividends to March 6, 2006), the redemption of all Series D preferred shares and the repayment in full of the senior credit facility. In conjunction with the closing of the merger transaction, no further dividends accrued on the Series D preferred shares after December 31, 2005.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of the stock of Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) by Devcon International Corp. (the “Company”) for approximately $65.5 million using the purchase method of accounting.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements also give effect to other transactions that occurred during the period, based on unaudited pro forma information presented in previously filed Annual Reports on Form 8-K for the acquisition of Starpoint Limited and Coastal Security Company.

The following presents the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 gives effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred as of the beginning of such period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

We are providing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for illustrative purposes only. The results may have been different had these transactions actually occurred during the periods presented. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the transactions actually occurred during the periods presented or the future results that the Company will experience. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not give effect to any cost savings or operating synergies expected to result from the acquisition and divestiture or the costs to achieve such cost savings or operating synergies.

Since our Preferred Stock when issued will be convertible at the option of the holder, and we have a call option within the agreement. This Preferred Stock will be classified as temporary equity when issued in accordance with ASR 268. Dividends paid or accrued on these shares will be deducted from net income in determining net income attributable to common shareholders.

The Preferred Stock to be issued and the Warrants are subject to a registration rights agreement, which imposes significant penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date as well as non -standard anti-dilution provisions. The conversion price the Warrants and the Preferred Stock may be adjusted in certain circumstances, such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. Also, if we issue shares of common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the convertible preferred stock will be reduced accordingly. In

accordance with EITF-00-19, due to the existence of these conditions, the Preferred Stock are required to be accounted for as a derivative instrument liability.

The derivative financial instrument liability will initially be measured at fair value and will then be re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. We will determine the fair value of these instruments using an appropriate option-pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments, risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price, expected dividend yield and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the respective option. The assumptions used to value these instruments can significantly affect our financial statements. The initial value of the 1,650,943 Warrants issued to the purchasers of the Notes and the Purchase Rights were initially valued at $4.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. In addition, the initial fair value of the compound derivative instrument of the Preferred Stock is initially estimated to be $19.8 million. Since the re-valuation of derivative financial instruments can only be determined based upon current market factors which change with the passage of time, the Pro Forma Statement of Operations does not reflect an adjustment with respect to re-valuation of these derivative instruments.

Since the Preferred Stock contains embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative instrument liability, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds are then allocated to the Preferred Stock host contract, resulting in the Preferred Stock being recorded at a discount from its face amount. This discount will be accreted using the effective interest method over the term of the preferred stock. Dividends payable on the Preferred Stock will be recognized as they accrue and, together with the periodic amortization of the discount, will be deducted from net income to determine net income attributable to common shareholders. Dividends and accretion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stocks set out in the Pro Forma Statement of Operations has been adjusted to reflect seven (7) months of preference dividends, associated accretion of debt discount (compound embedded derivatives) and associated accretion of deferred financing costs amounting to $2.4 million, $3.3 million and $0.4 million respectively.

The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register common shares that may be issued on exercise of the Warrants or of the conversion of the Preferred Stock, to permit re-sale of common shares previously sold under an exemption from registration or to register common shares that may be issued on exercise of outstanding options or warrants. These registration rights agreements require us to pay penalties for any time delay in filing the required registration statements, or in the registration statements becoming effective, beyond dates specified in the Agreement. These penalties are expressed as a fixed percentage, per month, of the original amount we received on issuance of the preferred stock or warrants. We will account for these penalties as a contingent liability and not as a derivative instrument. Accordingly, we will recognize the penalties, if any, when it becomes probable that they will be incurred. Any penalties will be expensed over the period to which they relate.

Interest expense set out in the proforma statement of operations, for pro forma adjustments for Promissory Notes, Credit Facility and Warrant issuance, has been adjusted to reflect the following:

As of April 12, 2006, the number of shares of the registrant’s Common Stock outstanding was 6,014,404. The aggregate market value of the Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the registrant as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $36,391,922 based on a closing sale price of $10.50 for the Common Stock on such date. For purposes of the foregoing computation, all executive officers, directors and 5 percent beneficial owners of the registrant are deemed to be affiliates. Further, the classification of affiliate specifically excludes shares beneficially owned by virtue of voting rights granted pursuant to a proxy, but not owned of record by Coconut Palm Investors I, Ltd. Such determinations should not be deemed to be an admission that such executive officers, directors or 5 percent beneficial owners are, in fact, affiliates of the registrant.

Devcon International Corp. (“Devcon or the Company”) was incorporated in Florida in 1951 as Zinke-Smith, Inc. and adopted its present name in October 1971. Our stock has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market System since March 1972. Today, Devcon is a holding company that has three major operating divisions: electronic security services, construction and materials.

Our electronic security services division provides electronic security services and related products to residential homes, financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments and healthcare and educational facilities (mostly in the Florida and New York metropolitan areas). Through this division, we engage in the electronic monitoring of our installed base of security systems, as well as the installation of new monitored security systems added to our installed base, both in residential and commercial buildings. We provide these services through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“DSH”). With the 2005 acquisitions of Adelphia Communications’ electronic security services operations and Coastal Security Company (“Coastal”) combined with our acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) on March 6, 2006, which is discussed below, these assets include modern, full service monitoring centers in Hollywood, Florida, Boca Raton, Florida and New York, New York from which an aggregate of more than approximately 250,000 customers are monitored, of which 130,000 are retail accounts and 120,000 are wholesale accounts where the Company monitors a third-party security company’s customers.

Our materials division produces and distributes ready-mix concrete, crushed stone, sand, concrete block, and asphalt and distributes bagged cement on the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and St. Martin. On September 30, 2005 we sold our materials operations on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix, and on March 2, 2006, we sold our Antigua operations. See “Divestiture of U.S. Virgin Islands and Antigua Operations” below.

Until 2004, our construction and materials divisions were our primary operations. Between 2002 and 2004, however, our management engaged in a review of strategic alternatives to enter into new lines of business that had a prospect of providing predictable, recurring revenue. In April 2005, we began a process of reviewing in detail the operations of our materials division, which was incurring operating losses. This strategic review and shift in operational focus resulted in the following series of acquisitions and divestitures which together allowed us to pursue our objective of becoming a large regional provider of electronic security services particularly in the southeast of the United States.

The Starpoint acquisition represented our primary entry into the electronic security services industry. We financed the transaction with the net proceeds of a sale of 2,000,000 units at $9.00 per unit to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd., a private investors group, on July 30, 2004, (which units consisted of one share of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional two shares of our common stock). In addition we also utilized cash available from a $35 million revolving credit facility provided by CIT Financial USA, Inc., which facility was replaced in November 2005, by a $70 million revolving credit facility provided by CapitalSource Finance LLC (the “CapitalSource Revolving Facility”). See “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources”. The Starpoint acquisition received approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in an order issued on January 28, 2005.

We also used a portion of the cash available under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility, together with funds provided by a 120-day $8 million bridge loan (the “CapitalSource Bridge Loan”), to finance the Coastal acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price of the Coastal acquisition was paid from cash on hand, including the proceeds which we received from the sale of our U.S. Virgin Islands materials operations.

Continuing with our operational focus on electronic security services, on November 9, 2005, we signed an Agreement and Plan of Merger between us, Devcon Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, and Guardian in which we agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian Security Services Inc. We completed the

acquisition of Guardian on March 6, 2006, for an estimated aggregate cash purchase consideration of approximately $65.5 million. This purchase consideration consisted of (i) approximately $23.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, (ii) approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem two series of Guardian’s preferred stock, (iii) approximately $13.3 million used to assume and pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and (iv) approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase consideration, approximately $3.3 million, has been placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon RMR and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian common shareholders are expected to receive a pro rata distribution from the escrowed amount approximately six months after the closing. The merger was approved by shareholders of Guardian on February 24, 2006.

To finance the Guardian acquisition, we issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. The warrants expire on the third anniversary of their issuance on March 6, 2006 and will be valued using a discounted cash flow model which takes into account the exercise price, volatility of the company’s stock and the company’s stock price at issuance. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum (which rate increases to 18% per annum in the event we fail to make payments required under the notes when due). We also increased the amount of cash available under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility to finance the remaining purchase consideration of the Guardian acquisition, repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan and to increase working capital. For further information on our indebtedness, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors”.

We anticipate that under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, to be issued by us with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants issued with the notes will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance of the new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Warrants could also cause the issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. Our Board has approved the creation of a new class of preferred stock and the creation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants. The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, for various reasons related to the potential issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock, the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of our Common Stock approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock and the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; however, this approval will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders have been fully satisfied. We anticipate that the sale of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will take place on or before July 31, 2006 but not later than January 1, 2007.

The following table sets forth financial highlights of our electronic security services, construction and materials divisions. Total assets by segment and other information are further described in Note 15, Segment Reporting, to our consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth the Company’s revenue by geographic area. Revenue by geographic area includes sales to unaffiliated customers based on customer location, not the selling entity’s location. The Company moves its equipment from country to country; therefore, to make this disclosure meaningful, the geographic area separation for assets is based upon the location of the legal entity owning the assets.

Our executive offices are located at 595 South Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, our telephone number is (561) 208-7200 and our web address is www.devc.com.

General. Unless otherwise noted, the financial results of our electronic security services division are as of December 31, 2005, and do not give effect to our acquisition of Guardian, which is a material transaction. In addition, our historical results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 include the operations of Starpoint and Coastal only from February 28, 2005 and November 10, 2005, the respective dates of acquisition for both companies. As a result, our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are not comparable in various material respects and are not indicative of the results which would have occurred had the acquisitions been completed at the beginning of the applicable period.

Our revenue from electronic security services in 2005 was derived from contractual recurring revenue, service revenue and installation revenue, as set forth below. Contractual recurring revenue is the amount of service revenue quantified in our

monitoring or service contract which is billed on a periodic recurring basis from service contract start date to completion. Throughout this annual report, we use the term “RMR” which means recurring monthly revenues indicating that a defined dollar amount is billed each month and revenue is recognized upon delivery of service and when collectibility is reasonably assured.

Business Strategy. The electronic security services industry is highly competitive and consists of regional and national providers. Our business strategy is based on building a leading regional presence. Specifically, we believe that the most effective way to build brand recognition, maximize market share, and boost operating efficiencies is to become a market leader in targeted regions that have favorable demographics and characteristics. We believe that developing a familiar, community-oriented brand is more effective than developing a national brand and will allow us to reach a top market share position in the areas we choose to operate. We seek to develop a leading regional presence in growth markets in regions that have favorable demographic and population growth trends, as well as customer density opportunities that can be leveraged.

Our first target region is in the Southeast, with a primary focus on the state of Florida. Our acquisition of Starpoint provided an attractive, scalable platform for south Florida. Our acquisition of SEC delivered a strong customer base in the Florida panhandle. We believe our acquisition of Coastal and our recent acquisition of Guardian delivered the critical mass necessary to be able to leverage revenue and net earnings synergy opportunities which we believe will be significant.

Our immediate focus will be on the successful integration of Coastal and Guardian leveraging the technology and back-office platforms to ensure a timely integration. However, we will continue to evaluate additional regional acquisition opportunities if and as they arise.

Integration. An important aspect of our acquisition program is the integration of subscriber accounts into our operations after the purchase. Depending on the size, frequency and location of acquisitions, the integration of subscribers may adversely affect the provision of field repair services to existing subscribers, which may cause subscriber attrition to increase. In addition, if our corporate or branch operations fail to integrate a substantial portion of, or do not adequately service, acquired subscriber accounts, we may experience higher attrition in the future.

Acquisitions of portfolios of subscriber accounts involve a number of risks, including the possibility of unanticipated problems not discovered prior to the acquisition, higher than expected account attrition and the diversion of management’s attention from other business activities in order to focus on the integration of accounts. For acquisitions that are structured as stock purchases of other companies, we may assume unexpected liabilities and must dispose of unnecessary or undesirable assets of the acquired companies.

For additional considerations and risks arising during the integration process see “Item 1A — Risk Factors — Our inability to continue to acquire businesses in the security services business or successfully integrate these businesses could have adverse consequences on our business”.

Customer Concentration. The electronic security services division is not dependent upon any single customer, as no customer was responsible for more than 10% of the division’s total net revenues in 2005. Our electronic security services division is concentrated in Florida and the New York geographic markets.

Recurring Monthly Revenue. We believe the electronic security systems monitoring industry presents an attractive opportunity for predictable recurring revenues. Our relationship with our customers begins with an initial consultation to determine the potential customers’ needs and is followed by an equipment and service proposal. Our customers then sign contracts with us that allow us to provide ongoing electronic security systems monitoring services after the installation (as needed) of an electronic security system. Our contracts range from 3 to 5 years in length, and the length of the customer relationship often tends to exceed these terms.

Monitoring - Commercial and Residential. The electronic security services division provides electronic security services and products to financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments and health care and educational facilities, as well as residential customers. The division sells, installs, monitors and maintains electronic security systems and products located at its customers’ premises. These systems and products include electronic monitoring services that provide intrusion and fire detection and, in the case of commercial monitoring, also include access control systems and closed circuit television, which is tailored to the customer’s specific needs.

As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately 102,000 retail, commercial and residential customers under contract, some of which commercial customers have multiple locations.

Installation, Service and Maintenance. As part of its effort to provide high quality service to its commercial and residential customers, our electronic security services division maintains a trained installation, service and maintenance force. These employees are trained to install and service the various types of commercial and residential security systems marketed by us. Subcontracted personnel are utilized where appropriate.

Product Sourcing. We do not manufacture any of the components used in our electronic security services businesses. Due to the general availability of the components used in our electronic security services business, we are able to obtain the components of our systems from a number of different sources and to supply our customers with the latest technology generally available in the industry. We are not dependent on any single source for our supplies and components and have not experienced any material shortages of components.

Monitored Electronic Security Systems. Our electronically monitored security systems involve the use, on a customer’s premise, of devices designed to detect or react to various occurrences or conditions, such as intrusions, movement, fire, smoke, flooding, environmental conditions (including temperature or humidity variations), industrial operations (such as water, gas or steam pressure and process flow controls) and other hazards. In most systems, these detection devices are connected to a microprocessor-based control panel which communicates through telephone lines to a monitoring center where alarm and supervisory signals are received and recorded. Systems may also incorporate an emergency “panic button”, which when pushed causes the control panel to transmit an alarm signal that takes priority over other alarm signals. In most systems, control panels can identify the nature of the alarm and the areas within a building where the sensor was activated and transmit the information to a monitoring center. Depending upon the type of service for which the subscriber has contracted, monitoring center personnel respond to alarms by relaying appropriate information to the local fire or police departments, notifying the customer or taking other appropriate action, such as dispatching employees to the customer’s premises.

Security systems utilize a digital communicator which responds to an event by dialing the monitoring center through the customer’s regular telephone line. If a control panel or the telephone line is not functioning properly, the monitoring center may not be alerted. In most markets, systems transmission capabilities can be backed up through radio frequency transmission or the local cellular telephone network.

Regulation. Our electronic security services division’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws, regulations and licensing requirements. Many local authorities require us to obtain licenses or permits to conduct a security services business. Certain governmental entities also require persons engaged in the electronic security systems business to be licensed and to meet certain standards in the selection and training of employees and in the conduct of business. We believe that we are in compliance with all such licensing and regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction in which we operate. In addition, municipalities and other localities are attempting to reduce the level of false alarms through various measures, such as the licensing of individual electronic security systems and the imposition of fines for false alarms, revocation of licenses and refusing to respond to alarms after a certain number of false alarms. While such laws, regulations and licensing requirements have not had a material adverse effect on our business to date, we are unable to predict whether such statutes or ordinances, or any similar statutes or ordinances enacted by other jurisdictions, will adversely affect future business and operations.

The electronic security services industry is also subject to the oversight and requirements of various insurance, approval, listing and standards organizations. Adherence to the standards and requirements of such organizations may be mandatory or voluntary depending upon the type of customer served, the nature of the security service provided and the requirements of the local governmental jurisdiction. We have not had any material difficulties in complying with such standards and requirements in the past.

Our electronic security services business relies upon the use of telephone lines to transmit signals, and the cost of such lines and the type of equipment which may be utilized are currently regulated by both the federal and state governments.

Competition. The electronic security services business is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on price in relation to the quality of service provided. Sources of competition in the security services business are other providers of central monitoring services, systems directly connected to police and fire departments, local electronic security systems and other methods of protection.

The central monitoring sector of the electronic security services business is characterized by high fixed costs, but has low marginal costs associated with monitoring additional customers. Despite the opportunity for economies of scale by consolidation of monitoring and administrative functions, the industry is highly fragmented.

Our electronic security services division competes with other major firms which have substantial resources, including ADT Security Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Tyco International Limited), Brinks Home Security, Inc. and Protection One, Inc., as well as many smaller regional and local companies. Many of these competitors are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do and also may possess greater local market knowledge.

Business Development and Facilities. We entered the electronic security services business in 2004 with the acquisition of SEC and its facility in Panama City, Florida, from which approximately 5,200 subscribers’ homes and businesses were serviced. SEC customers at the time of acquisition were monitored by Coastal in accordance with the terms of a third party monitoring agreement. During 2005, we have significantly expanded this business with the Starpoint acquisition in February 2005, which added to our facilities a modern, full-service monitoring center located in Naples, Florida, from which approximately 54,000 commercial and residential customers under contract were monitored, as well as additional sales and services offices in Boca Raton, Bonita Springs, Miami, Naples, Orlando and Tampa, Florida. The Coastal acquisition, in November 2005, added to our facilities a full service UL (Underwriter’s Laboratories certified) monitoring center located in Boca Raton, Florida, from which it monitored and serviced approximately 165,000 homes and businesses. In January 2006, the Naples, Florida monitoring center was closed and all customer monitoring was transferred to the Boca Raton monitoring center. In addition, we completed the Guardian acquisition in March 2006, which expanded even more dramatically these operations and added two buildings to our facilities. These buildings house a central monitoring station, offices and warehouse facilities, located in Hollywood, Florida and New York, New York from which it monitored and serviced approximately 32,500 homes and businesses, as well as additional sales and service offices in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa and Orlando, Florida and in New York City and Staten Island.

We are continuing to search for opportunities to expand this business through both acquisition of accounts or businesses and internal growth. Our goal is to expand the electronic security services division’s customer base in both the commercial and residential sectors, while simultaneously retaining a high percentage of the division’s existing commercial and residential customers by providing high quality service.

Industry Overview. According to the SDM Magazine 2005 Industry Forecast Study, the security systems services industry in the United States generates total annual revenue of approximately $25 billion. The largest participants in this industry are ADT Security Services, Inc. (a subsidiary of Tyco International Limited), Brinks Home Security, Inc., Protection One, Inc. and Honeywell. These firms are larger and have significantly greater resources than we do and also may possess greater local market knowledge.

Demand is driven partly by home sales, new home construction, and new commercial and office construction. The central monitoring sector of the electronic security services business is characterized by high fixed costs, but has low marginal costs associated with monitoring additional customers. Despite the opportunity for economies of scale by consolidation of monitoring and administrative functions, the industry is highly fragmented.

Large companies have advantages of scale in operating monitoring centers and in national advertising and brand recognition. Small companies often compete by selling customer contracts to the large monitoring companies, or reselling the monitoring companies’ services, which they buy wholesale. Major products are the manufacture, sale, installation and monitoring of electronic security systems. The industry consists of commercial and residential segments, each of which uses different types of equipment and monitoring. Many companies operate in only one segment. The commercial segment accounts for about 60 percent of industry revenue. The main components of a security system are door, window and motion sensors, control keypads, alarms, and communications modules.

General. Historically, we have completed construction projects, including interstate highways, airport sites and runways, deep-water piers and marinas, waterway dredging, golf courses, and industrial, residential and commercial site development, primarily in the Caribbean. The revenue related to the work performed by our construction division is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis. Currently, the majority of our contracts are completed in less than one year. The work is bid or negotiated at a fixed price or at a unit price where our fee is based upon the quantity of work performed and is often measured in yards, meters or tons rather than time or a time and materials basis. Changes in the scope of the work that are requested by the customer are included in the contract value when duly authorized and agreed upon. We perform the majority of our work utilizing our internal labor and equipment resources.

Operations. We obtain leads for new projects from customers, engineering firms and architectural firms with whom we have established relationships. First, we decide whether to submit a bid or negotiate to undertake a particular project. We prepare and submit timely proposals detailing what we believe will best meet the customers’ objectives. We have also provided long-term or short-term financing from time-to-time to certain customers to obtain construction contracts. During 2005, we financed $171,500 of construction projects and, as of the end of 2005, there were outstanding balances totaling $3.1 million, including principal and interest. The amount of customer financing is projected to increase over the next year. The Company’s President of the construction division reviews all project proposals and bids. After a customer accepts our proposal, a formal contract is prepared and negotiated between the parties. We assign one of our project managers to maintain close contact with the customer and their project engineers. Other staff is assigned to supervise personnel and the relocation, purchase, lease and maintenance of equipment. Construction management is responsible for the scheduling and monitoring of our operations.

Backlog. Our backlog of unfulfilled portions of construction contracts at December 31, 2005 was approximately $17.0 million, involving 18 projects. This compares to $18.6 million, involving 15 projects at December 31, 2004. One contract represents 16% while another represents 15% of the total backlog. A U.S. Virgin Island contract represents $2.8 million and a Bahamian project represents $2.6 million of the balance. The Bahamian project is a related party transaction as noted in Note 16, Related Party transactions to our consolidated financial statements. Between December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, we entered into 4 new construction contracts in the Caribbean. We presently expect the operation to have increased revenue in 2006 and anticipate, although there is no assurance that this will occur, most of the $17.0 million backlog will be completed in 2006.

Bonding. We are required by the customer to obtain a performance bond to bid on certain construction contracts.

Customers. Our primary customers are principally large private and government entities located throughout the Caribbean. During 2005, we provided services to 37 customers which generated contract revenue of $39.3 million in the year. Three customers represent a concentration of more than 10% of construction revenue. Those three customers represent 27.7%, 15.7% and 12.4% individually or 56.3% of total construction division revenue in 2005. The Company and a member of our board of directors are minority shareholders in the customer representing 15.7% of construction revenue. Related party transactions are further described in Note 16, Related Party Transactions, to our consolidated financial statements.

Competition. Land development construction is extremely competitive. We compete with smaller local contractors as well as larger U.S. and European-based contractors in all our markets. Primary competitive factors include: price, prior experience, and relationships, the equipment available to complete the job, innovation, the available engineering staff to assist an owner in minimizing costs, how quickly a company can complete a contract, and the ability to obtain bonding which guarantees contract completion.

Business Development. The construction division is experiencing growth attributable to the development of a tourism-based economy and certain infrastructure redevelopment projects throughout the Caribbean.

Equipment. Our businesses require us to lease or purchase and maintain equipment. As of December 31, 2005, our equipment included cranes, bulldozers, road graders, rollers, backhoes, earthmovers, hydraulic dredges and barges. At certain times, a part of this equipment will be idle in between construction jobs until suitable construction contracts are found.

General. The description below of our materials division, as of December 31, 2005, gives effect to the divestiture of our operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands but does include the operating results of Antigua, since the Antigua operations were

sold on March 2, 2006 subsequent to our December 31, 2005 year end. In addition, our historical results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 have been revised to exclude results of operations of the U.S. Virgin Islands operations so as to provide comparability of results.

In 2005, we manufactured and distributed ready-mix concrete, block and crushed aggregate. We also distributed bagged cement. Our sales can be segregated into the following groups:

(1) On March 2, 2006, the Company sold our quarry operations in Antigua (see Note 22, Subsequent Events, to our consolidated financial statements.

Ready-Mix Concrete and Concrete Block. Our concrete batch plants mix cement, sand, crushed stone, water and chemical additives to produce ready-mix concrete for use in local construction. On most islands, concrete mixer trucks owned and operated by various third parties deliver the concrete to the customer’s job site. At our concrete block plant in Antigua, a low-moisture concrete mixture is machine-formed, then dried and stored for later sale. We believe our ready-mix concrete operations and concrete block plants are among the largest in the Caribbean islands on which we trade.

Quarry Operations, Crushed Stone and Aggregate Production. We own or lease quarry sites at which we blast rock from exposed mineral formations. This rock is sold as boulders or crushed to sizes ranging from 3¹/2 -inch stones down to manufactured sand. The resulting aggregate is then sorted, cleaned and stored. The aggregate is sold to customers and used in our operations to make concrete products. We believe our quarries, except for Puerto Rico, are the largest on the Caribbean islands in which we trade. We believe that it is less expensive to manufacture aggregate at our quarries than to import from off-island sources.

Bagged Cement. We purchase bulk and bagged cement from local cement terminals on the islands for use in our concrete batch plant, block plants and on some islands for resale in the form of bagged cement.

Supplies. We presently obtain all of the crushed rock and a majority of the sand necessary for our production of ready-mix concrete from our own quarries. We believe our ability to produce our own sand and stone gives us a competitive advantage because of the substantial investment required to produce aggregates, the difficulty in obtaining the necessary environmental permits to establish quarries and the moratorium on mining beach sand imposed by most Caribbean countries. We purchase cement from cement terminals located on the islands where our operations are established.

Leasing of Concrete Trucks and Other Equipment. In St. Martin, Sint Maarten, and Antigua, substantially all of our concrete trucks and concrete pump trucks have been sold or are leased to former employees that are now in the concrete delivery and pumping business. In some of our quarries we have outsourced the drilling for blasting holes and some of the loading and movement of rock material. Also, we have in some instances sold or leased equipment to former employees or third parties for them to perform work for us. The overall effect of these decisions has been a reduction of fixed costs, resulting in a larger percentage of costs being variable with revenue.

Customers. Our primary customers are building contractors, governments, asphalt pavers and individual homeowners. Customers generally pick up quarry products, concrete block and bagged cement at our facilities, and we generally deliver ready-mix concrete to the customers’ job sites. No customer was responsible for more than 10% of materials revenue at December 31, 2005.

Competition. We have competitors in the materials business in the locations where we conduct business. The competition includes local ready-mix concrete and concrete block plants, and importers of aggregates and concrete blocks. We also encounter competition from the producers of asphalt, which is an alternative material to concrete for road construction. Most competitors, such as ready-mix and concrete block producers, have a disadvantage compared to our material costs, but have an advantage over us in respect to lower overhead costs.

Business Development. We obtain our leads and proposed project information from architects, engineers, customers, local Departments of Transportation and local Ministries of Works with whom we have established relationships.

Divestiture of U.S. Virgin Islands and Antigua Operations. As a part of our revised strategic focus on businesses with more predictable recurring revenue, on September 30, 2005, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, V.I. Cement & Building Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation, sold certain assets of ours constituting our U.S. Virgin Islands ready-mix concrete, aggregates, concrete block and cement materials and supplies business to Heavy Materials, LLC, a U.S. Virgin Islands limited liability company and private investor group. The purchase price for this sale was $10.7 million in cash plus an additional amount equal to the net realizable value of accounts receivable and certain assets associated with these operations as of the closing date, September 30, 2005. The net realizable value was paid by the purchaser on the closing date by issuance of a promissory note to us in an aggregate principal amount of $2.6 million with a term of three years bearing interest at 5% per annum with only interest being paid quarterly in arrears during the first 12 months and principal and accrued interest being paid quarterly (principal being paid in 8 equal quarterly installments) for the remainder of the term of the note until the maturity date.

In addition, on March 2, 2006, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed or his nominee and Gary O’Rourke, under which we completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd., a subsidiary of ours, the business of which constituted all of our materials operations in Antigua (“AMP”). In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to European Currency (“EC”)$1,436,485 (US$532,032 as of the date of the sale) (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) are outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such Preferred Shares are reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such Preferred Shares, which represents an aggregate amount slightly in excess of $500,000. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. This purchase price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to us, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by us. The purchasers have agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the sale.

The sold U.S. Virgin Islands operations constituted 41.0% of our materials division’s revenue as of the time of sale.

Equipment. Our businesses require us to lease or purchase and maintain equipment. As of December 31, 2005, our equipment included excavators, bulldozers, backhoes, rock crushers, concrete batch and block plant, concrete mixer and pump trucks and other items.

We have invested or participated in several joint ventures in connection with our construction and materials divisions.

DevconMatrix Utility Resources, LLC (“DevMat”). In June 2003, we formed a joint venture in the water desalination and sewage treatment industry. We own 80% of the joint venture. Matrix Desalination, Inc. owns the remaining 20%. The water desalination and sewage treatment business is capital intensive, with the emphasis on generating long-term recurring revenue. Our customer base consists of resorts, industrial plants and residential communities. In 2005, DevMat leased and operated three water desalination plants situated on various islands of the Bahamas. We had $0.7 million in revenue and incurred $0.4 million of operating expenses during 2005.

Construction Technologies Limited. During 2004 and 2005, we made advances of $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, to Construction Technologies Limited (“CTC”), a limited liability company incorporated in St. Christopher and Nevis (“St. Kitts”). The advances were made pursuant to a project funding agreement. Under the project funding agreement, we agreed to advance $2.3 million to fund CTC’s cash requirements in fulfilling its obligation to construct approximately 6.5 miles of road for the National Housing Corporation (“NHC”), a statutory agency of the government of St. Kitts. The advances are being repaid from the proceeds of an EC$ 10.0 million (US$ 3.7 million) promissory note (“NHC Note”), which was issued to CTC by the NHC as consideration for the project. The Company has possession of the NHC Note, which has been guaranteed by the government of St. Kitts. The NHC has been instructed by CTC to make payments due under the NHC Note to the Company. The principal of the NHC Note is repayable in fourteen equal semi-annual installments, beginning on April 30, 2005, and bears interest at 7%. Pursuant to the terms of the funding agreement, the Company is entitled to retain 81.66% of payments made under the NHC Note. The Company received the April 2005 and October 2005 installments totaling $0.8 million, retained $0.6 million pursuant to the funding agreement, which was applied to reduce the $2.3 million balance of previous advances to $1.7 million at year end.

Additionally, we have trade receivables from and made other secured loans to CTC in conjunction with other transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business. CTC is a leading producer of concrete in St. Kitts.

Emerald Bay. During the period 1998 through 2001, we invested a total of $186,000 for a 1.2% interest in a real estate joint venture in the Bahamas. The upscale resort project partially opened in December 2003 and the hotel construction was completed in 2004. A member of our board of directors who is also our co-founder has an interest in the joint venture. See Note 16, Related Party Transactions, to our consolidated financial statements.

West Highland Development Company, Inc., Puerto Rico. During the period 1998 through 2004, we invested a total of $195,000 for a 33.3% interest in a real estate joint venture in Puerto Rico that owns the land where the Aguadilla aggregate processing plant was operating. During 2005, we recorded a loss of $3,700 from this joint venture under the equity method of accounting. In January 2004, the local government advised us that it intended to expropriate a portion of the real estate in Aguadilla. We responded to the expropriation proceeding by filing a complaint in February 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the joint venture received the uncontested expropriation proceeds and paid off its bank loan, which had been guaranteed by the Company. The joint venture is still seeking additional proceeds under its February 2004 complaint.

Belvedere. In February 2003, we entered into an agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with the Island Territory of Sint Maarten (“Island Territory”) to market and develop 197 single-family homes in the Belvedere subdivision of the Island Territory (the “Belvedere Project”). Through December 31, 2005, nine houses had been sold. The Development Agreement contemplated completion of the Belvedere Project by February 2007. Due to delays in the Island Territory establishing a Mortgage Guarantee Fund and other limiting factors, in April 2006, we and a Commissioner for the Island Territory mutually agreed to terminate the Development Agreement. Under a separate agreement with Pream Consultants N.V. (“Pream Agreement”), we subcontracted substantially all of our obligations, other than the funding obligation, under the Development Agreement. In November 2005 we terminated the Pream Agreement for reasons provided for by the agreement. Our investment in the Belvedere Project was $550,285 and $287,259 as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In January 2006, an additional house was sold and $94,148 was received.

Some of our offshore earnings are not taxed or are taxed at rates lower than U.S. statutory federal income tax rates due to tax exemptions and tax incentives. The U.S. Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission (“EDC”) granted us tax exemptions on most of our U.S. Virgin Islands earnings through March 2003. We have applied for an extension of this tax exemption, however, there is no guarantee that it will be granted. The EDC completed a compliance review on our subsidiary in the US Virgin Islands on February 6, 2004. The compliance review covered the period from April 1998 through March 31, 2003 and resulted from our application to request an extension of tax exemptions from the EDC. The EDC’s compliance report cited our failure to make gross receipts tax payments of $505,000 and income tax payments of $2.2 million, not including interest and penalties. This was the first time that a position contrary to our or any position on this specific issue had been raised by the EDC. In light of these events, and based on discussions with legal counsel, we established a tax accrual at December 31, 2003 for such exposure which approximated the amounts set forth in the EDC review report. In September 2005 and 2004, the statute of limitations with respect to the income tax return filed by us for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, expired. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, we reversed $37,440 and $2.3 million respectively of the tax accrual established at December 31, 2003. We have not had recent communication with the EDC regarding this matter and if challenged by the U.S. Virgin Islands taxing authority would vigorously contest its position. These tax accrual matters have been included in the results of discontinued operations.

For periods after December 31, 2003, we have accrued but on the advice of Virgin Islands counsel, not remitted, gross receipts taxes, which would be due should our application for an extension of benefit be withdrawn or denied. We have been further advised by Virgin Islands counsel that, should the application of benefits be denied, the U.S. Virgin Islands Internal Revenue Bureau would, most likely, waive any penalties for late payment of gross receipts taxes through the date of denial, although no assurance can be given that such waiver would be granted. Following the sale of the U.S. Virgin Islands ready-mix concrete, aggregates, concrete block and concrete materials business in September 30, 2005, the Company will not be generating any additional revenue which is covered under the applications for extension benefits. Accordingly, the accrual for this gross receipts tax exposure at December 31, 2005 was $1.5 million and will remain unchanged in the future pending resolution of the application for extension.

U.S. tax laws provide that certain of our offshore earnings are not taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and most post-April 1988 earnings from our materials business in the U.S. Virgin Islands can be distributed to us free of U.S. income tax. Any distribution to Devcon International Corp, the parent company, of: (1) earnings from our U.S. Virgin Islands operations accumulated prior to April 1, 1988; or (2) earnings from our other non-U.S. incorporated operations, would subject us to U.S. federal income tax on the amounts distributed, less applicable taxes paid in those jurisdictions according to specific rules concerning foreign tax credits. In December 2004, we distributed $4.7 million of the earnings from one of our subsidiaries in Antigua. The distribution was made under the benefit of a deemed payment provision of a settlement agreement between the Company and the government of Antigua and Barbuda. The settlement agreement with the government of Antigua and Barbuda provided for withholding tax credits of $7.5 million for dividend distributions made by the Company from Antigua through the years 2005 to 2007. At December 31, 2004, $44.4 million of accumulated earnings had not been distributed to the parent company.

During 2005, we distributed $20.4 million of dividends from Antigua using $5.1 million of the withholding tax credits. The company distributed an additional $4.5 million of earnings before the sale of the materials division subsidiaries in Antigua using another $1.1 million of the withholding tax credits. The company intends to use the remaining $0.9 million of withholding tax credit to the extent it generates profits in its construction operations or distributes dividends from it remaining Antigua operations.

For further information on our tax exemptions and income taxes, see Note 12, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements.

We possess trade names used in our Caribbean operations, of which none are registered. We believe that trade names, which are normally derivatives of the corporate names of our local subsidiaries, have name recognition and are valuable to us. However, for our constructions and materials divisions, our trade names have no book value on our consolidated balance sheet.

Devcon International Corp. (a Florida corporation) owns a State of Florida service mark registration (No. T05000000529) and a federal service mark registration (No. 3,073,527) for the DEVCON service mark, and Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. ( a Florida corporation) owns a State of Florida service mark registration (No. T05000000528) and a federal service mark registration (No. 3,079,358) for the DEVCON SECURITY SERVICES service mark. Each of the registrations covers the use of the applicable mark in connection with installation and maintenance of burglar and security alarm systems and monitoring of burglar and security alarm systems.

The DEVCON SECURITY SERVICES federal registration was granted April 11, 2006 and the federal registration for DEVCON was granted in March of this year. The Florida registrations were granted last year.

Coastal owns U.S. federal trademark registrations for the marks CENTRAL ONE®, as used with installation, maintenance and monitoring of residential, commercial and industrial burglar and security alarm systems. Additionally, Coastal owns State of Florida trademark registrations for CENTRAL ONE, FAX BACK AND COMPREHENSIVE DEALER SERVICES. Currently, there are no pending or threatened litigation or claims relating to Coastal’s trademarks. Also, to the best of our knowledge, there are no unasserted possible claims or assessments that may call for financial disclosure. No assurances can be given that third parties will not attempt to assert superior trademark rights in similar marks or that we will be able to successfully enforce and protect our rights in the trademarks against third party infringers.

Guardian owns U.S. federal trademark registrations for the marks GIBRALTAR SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS® and PREPARE AND PROTECT®, each as used with installation and maintenance of burglar electronic security systems, fire alarms, home and commercial security systems, voice intercom systems and closed circuit television and card access systems, as well as a U.S. federal trademark registration for its SECURITY BY GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL and G logo® as used with installation, monitoring and maintenance of voice intercom systems and closed circuit television and card access systems. Additionally, Guardian owns State of Florida trademark registrations for its GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY and G logo as well as its G logo, each for use with installation, monitoring and maintenance of burglar electronic security systems, fire alarms, home and commercial security systems, and installation and maintenance of voice intercom systems, as well as a State of Florida trademark registration for PRECISION SECURITY SYSTEMS as used with commercial and residential electronic security system sales, service and monitoring. Currently, there are no pending or threatened litigation or claims relating to Guardian’s trademarks. Also, to the best of our knowledge there are no unasserted possible claims or assessments that may call for financial disclosure. No assurances can be given that third parties will not attempt to assert superior trademark rights in similar marks or that we will be able to successfully enforce and protect our rights in the trademarks against third party infringers.

Additionally, during 2005, we began a study to determine what brand name and trademark we would use for security services since we had acquired the Security Equipment, and Coastal Security brands in the regional markets they operated in. The branding study evaluating various brands and trademarks including the Devcon Security brand had not been concluded as of December 31, 2005. We have no book value on the consolidated balance sheet for the security services division trade names.

At December 31, 2005, we employed 695 persons. As of that date, we employed 356 persons in our electronic security services division, of whom none are members of a union; we employed 217 persons in our construction division, of whom 9 are members of a union; and we employed 122 persons in our materials division, of whom 34 are members of a union. Upon the sale of Antigua in March 2006, the number of employees in the materials division went to 77 with no union employees. Most employees are employed on a full-time basis. We believe employee relations are satisfactory.

We are involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, management currently does not foresee such expenses in the near future as having a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. See Item 3 and Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Guardian/Private Placement of Notes and Warrants. On March 6, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2005, between us, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, and Guardian in which we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an estimated aggregate cash purchase consideration of approximately $65.5 million. This purchase consideration consisted of (i) approximately $23.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, (ii) approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem two series of Guardian’s preferred stock, (iii) approximately $13.3 million used to assume and pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and (iv) approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase price, approximately $3.3 million, has been placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon recurring monthly revenue and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian’s common shareholders are expected to receive a pro rata distribution from the escrowed amount approximately six months after the closing. The merger was approved by shareholders of Guardian on February 24, 2006.

In addition, in order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, on March 6, 2006, we issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. We also increased the amount of cash available under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan.

The notes accrue interest at 8% per annum and mature the earlier of July 31, 2006 or the date we obtain shareholder approval for issuance of the Preferred shares discussed below. Additionally, the interest is payable at maturity which is expected to be on or before July 31, 2006, but not later than January 1, 2007. The allowable circumstances for the maturity date to extend beyond July 31, 2006 to a date prior to January 1, 2007 must arise from the time possibly needed for the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete its review, if any, of an information statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and ultimately delivered by us to our shareholders in connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. We anticipate that under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, to be issued by us with a liquidation preference presently equal to $1,000 per share(the original purchase price per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends per share, and convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share of common stock into which converted. This conversion price and the exercise price of the Warrants issued with the notes are and will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance of the new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Warrants could also cause the issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. Our Board has approved the creation of a new class of preferred stock and the creation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants. The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, for various reasons related to the potential issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock, the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of the Company’s common stock approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock and the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, however, this approval will not be effective and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not be issued until the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders have been satisfied. The Company anticipates that the sale of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will take place on or before July 31, 2006, but not later than January 1, 2007.

Resignation and Replacement of Independent Director. On January 23, 2006, Mr. James R. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors. Mr. Cast was an independent director, as defined by Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c), requiring a majority of our Board of Directors to be Independent, Nasdaq notified us it had until the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting or January 23, 2007 to replace the independent director position or face delisting. On February 15, 2006, Mr. P. Rodney Cunningham was appointed to our Board of Directors. Nasdaq has determined that we are in compliance with the rule and the matter is now closed.

Divestiture of Antigua Operations. On March 2, 2006, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed or his nominee and Gary O’Rourke, under which we completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP. In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to EC$ 1,436,485 (US$532,032 as of the date of the sale) are outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such Preferred Shares are reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such Preferred Shares, which represents an aggregate amount slightly in excess of $500,000. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. This purchase

price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to us, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by us. The purchasers have agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the sale.

Divestiture of Joint Venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company (“PRCC”), On March 30, 2006, we reached a verbal agreement in principal whereby Mr. Jose Criado, through a company controlled by him, would purchase the fixed assets and substantially all of the inventory of PRCC, our wholly owned subsidiary, as well as assume substantially all employee related severance costs and liabilities arising from the lease agreement (including reclamation and leveling) for the quarry land for a purchase price of $700,000 in cash and a two-year 5% note in an amount equal to the value of inventory as of the closing date. If the negotiations are successful, we expect to complete the divestiture before the end of April 2006. The anticipated net proceeds from the sale will approximate the net book value of the related assets after giving effect to an impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million recorded by the us during 2005 with respect to the long-lived assets of PRCC at December 31, 2005.

Independent to and prior to our reaching material agreement on the terms of the sale of PRCC’s assets to Mr. Criado, we had performed an analysis of PRCC’s long-lived assets for possible impairment in accordance with our accounting policies and Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The events which caused us to prepare the impairment analysis were the change of control of a major customer of PRCC, causing reduced revenue in the second half of 2005, the inability to obtain sufficient new revenue by December 31, 2005 to generate positive cash flows, and the January 15, 2006 termination of a November 28, 2005 Letter of Intent to sell materially all the assets of our remaining construction division, the remaining assets of our materials division and DevMat assets. More detailed information on the impairment analysis is included in Note 22, Impairment of Long-Lived assets, to our consolidated financial statements. The resulting impairment charge related to PRCC’s assets was $1.0 million.

You should read and consider carefully each of the following factors, as well as the other information contained in, attached to or incorporated by reference in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the value of our stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations.

Our Officers and directors have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

We are subject to significant debt and debt service and will be subject to significant dividend service and redemption obligations which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

On November 10, 2005, our subsidiaries which comprise our electronic security services division entered into the $70 million CapitalSource Revolving Facility, the proceeds of which were used in part to pay down and cancel the $35 million revolving credit facility provided by CIT Financial USA, Inc., or the CIT Facility, and pay the purchase price of the Coastal acquisition. The CapitalSource Revolving Credit Facility was increased in March 2006 to contribute to the funding of the Guardian acquisition and, as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, we had $55 million and $91 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding. In addition, in order to fund the remainder of the purchase price of the Guardian acquisition, on March 6, 2006, we issued to certain investors an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes, which notes we anticipate will subsequently be exchanged for an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $45,000,000. These notes and shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be subject to regular interest, principal payment or dividend payment and redemption obligations. As a result of the foregoing transactions, we are now incurring significant interest expense. The degree to which we are leveraged could have significant consequences, including the following:

A default could result in acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by the senior debt or the notes and permit our senior lenders to foreclose on our electronic security services assets. In addition, our failure to comply with the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends.

The CapitalSource Revolving Facility contains a number of covenants imposing restrictions on our electronic security services division’s ability to, among other things:

Also, the notes contain a number of covenants imposing restrictions on our ability to incur more debt, create liens on our assets or make payments with respect to existing debt.

We will be subject to a financial covenant under the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which will restrict our ability to incur indebtedness and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Upon effectiveness of approval of the shareholders of the private placement and exchange of the $45 million in notes for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, we will be subject to a financial covenant under the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock contains a financial covenant imposing a restriction on our ability to incur additional indebtedness. As a result, so long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, we will not be able to allow our indebtedness ratio to exceed a specified maximum leverage amount. Our failure to comply with this indebtedness ratio covenant could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends.

If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may not be able to repay or refinance our senior debt or the notes or comply with the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy or realize our anticipated financial results. Accordingly, our cash flows and capital resources may not be sufficient to pay the interest charges on and principal payments of our senior debt or notes or comply with the dividend payment and redemption provisions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Failure to pay our interest expense, make our principal payments, pay dividends or effect a redemption would result in a default. A default relating to the senior debt, the notes or the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if not waived, could result in acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by our senior debt and the notes, in which case the indebtedness would become immediately due and payable, or could permit holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends. If this occurs, our substantial indebtedness and the redemption amount for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock could have important consequences to us and may, among other things:

In the event that we are unable to do so, we may be left without sufficient liquidity and may not be able to repay our senior debt or the notes. In that case, the senior lenders would be able to foreclose on our assets. Even if new financing is available, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us. In the case of default relating to dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if not cured or waived, it could permit the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to require us to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding principal amount of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and pay all accrued but unpaid dividends

Similarly, if we are not able to successfully implement our business strategy or realize our anticipated financial results, we may not be able to comply with the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock concerning the payment of dividends or requiring us to redeem, for cash, all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in equal installments, on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of completion of the private placement. If we fail to effect any required

redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable redemption amount per unredeemed share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full and the investors will have the option to require us to convert any of those unredeemed shares into shares of our common stock substituting market prices for the conversion price, which market prices may be lower than the conversion price resulting in a larger number of shares of our common stock being issued, resulting in greater dilution to our existing shareholders.

While our stock trades on the Nasdaq, our stock is thinly traded and you may have difficulty in reselling your shares quickly. The low trading volume of our common stock is outside of our control, and we cannot guarantee that the trading volume will increase in the near future or that, even if it does increase in the future, it will be maintained. Without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in us. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the last 13 years. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future we will continue to retain any earnings for use in the operation of our business, except as required to pay dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued following shareholder approval following the acquisition of Guardian in March 6, 2006. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, after consideration of any restrictions on cash dividends as defined by our credit and debt agreements, and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

To date, we have acquired SEC, Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian and plan to continue to acquire additional electronic security service companies. Acquisitions can divert management’s attention and result in greater administrative burdens and operating costs and, to the extent financed with debt, additional interest costs. We may not be able to manage or integrate acquired companies or businesses successfully. The success of our acquisition strategy will depend on, among other things:

Our inability to continue to acquire businesses in the electronic security services business could have adverse consequences on our results of operations.

Integrating our acquired businesses may be disruptive to or cause an interruption of our business which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Inherent uncertainties associated with the acquisition of past or future acquisition candidates may cause us or the acquisition candidates to lose key employees.

We expect that we will encounter challenges and difficulties in implementing our business plan. These challenges and difficulties relate to our ability to:

Each of SEC, Starpoint, Coastal, and Guardian operated on different technology platforms that will have to be integrated.

We plan to fully integrate the back-office software platforms for each of our acquired operations for standard processes, including accounts payable/receivable, human resources management, inventory management, customer service and other platforms to a single, unified platform. Each of SEC, Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian currently use a combination of different technology platforms for back-office support and security systems monitoring that will have to be integrated to achieve our objectives of growth and profitability. As with any technology switchover, we run the risk of potential operational challenges and service disruptions that could negatively impact our operations.

The development and recognition of our regional brand may not advance as quickly or as effectively as we anticipate.

Our electronic security services operations are geographically concentrated making us vulnerable to economic and environmental risks inherent to those locations.

Our electronic security services division’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws, regulations and licensing requirements. The states in which we operate, as well as some local authorities, require us to obtain licenses or permits to conduct our electronic security service business. In addition, there has been a recent trend on the part of municipalities and other localities to attempt to reduce the level of false alarms through various measures, such as licensing of individual electronic security systems and the imposition of fines upon customers, revocation of licenses or non-response to alarms after a certain number of false alarms. While these statutes and ordinances have not had a material effect on our business operations to date, we are not able to predict whether these statutes or ordinances, or similar statutes or ordinances enacted by other jurisdictions, will adversely affect our business in the future. The electronic security services industry also is subject to the oversight and requirements of various insurance, approval, listing and standards organizations. Adherence to the standards and requirements of these organizations may be mandatory or voluntary depending upon the type of customer served, the nature of the electronic security services provided and the requirements of governmental jurisdiction.

Cyclical industry and economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our electronic security services division.

Our electronic security services division’s business is subject to attrition of subscriber accounts.

Our future success is dependent, in part, on key personnel and failure to retain these key personnel would adversely affect our operation.

significant employees who we employed in connection with our recent acquisitions of electronic security services businesses. The loss of the services of any of these officers or other key employees could materially and adversely affect our business as we would no longer be able to benefit from their knowledge, experience and guidance.

Demand for electronic security monitoring services to detect intrusion and fire is tied, in part, to new construction. The market for new construction and the real estate market in general are cyclical and, in the event of a decline in the market for new developments, it is likely that demand for our electronic security monitoring services to multi-family dwellings would also decline, which could negatively impact our results of operations.

Lower crime rates could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on, our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, LLP, communicated to our management and Audit Committee that certain matters involving our internal controls were considered to be “material weaknesses”, as defined under the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. See “Item 9A - Controls and Procedures”. Our independent registered public accounting firm informed our management and our Audit Committee that these material weaknesses related to their belief that we did not have sufficient controls pertaining to the review and oversight of financial results constituting material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Under current regulations, the Company must be able to comply with the provision of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by our reporting period ending December 31, 2007.

adversely affected, which, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, our financial condition and the market value of our securities. In addition, if we are unable to conclude our internal controls or disclosure controls are effective at such time that we will be required to attest to them, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price could be negatively impacted.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and Devcon entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

We have entered into transactions with our affiliates which result in conflicts of interests.

We have entered into a number of transactions with our affiliates, including an investment in the Caribbean involving companies in which certain of our current and former officers and directors have an interest. Material transactions are disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Item 13 — Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. These transactions result in conflicts of interests. Our Audit Committee reviews and approves transactions between us and our affiliates, including our officers and directors. Our policy is that all of these transactions be reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to completion. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that no contract or other transaction between us and any other corporation shall in any way be invalidated by the fact that any of our directors are interested in or are directors or officers of the other party to the transaction.

The majority of our continuing operations in 2005 were conducted in foreign countries located in the Caribbean, primarily Antigua and Barbuda, Sint Maarten, St. Martin and the Bahamas. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, 70% of our revenue were derived from foreign geographic areas. The risks of doing business in foreign areas include potential adverse changes in U.S. diplomatic relations with foreign countries, changes in the relative purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, hostility from local populations, adverse effects of exchange controls, changes in either import or export tariffs, nationalization, interest rate fluctuations, restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and earnings, government policies against businesses owned by non-nationals, expropriations of property, the instability of foreign governments, any civil unrest or insurrection that could result in uninsured losses and other political, economic and regulatory conditions, risks or difficulties. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates or raw material commodity prices, both in absolute terms and relative to competitors’ risk profiles, could adversely impact our operations. We are not subject to these risks in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, since these are United States territories. We believe our most significant foreign currency exposure is the Euro. We are also subject to U.S. federal income tax upon the distribution of certain offshore earnings. Although we have not encountered significant difficulties in our foreign operations, we could encounter difficulties in the future.

Some of the contracts involved in contracting business have fixed price terms which do not take into account unanticipated changes in production costs, which we would not be able to pass on to the customer.

We may incur specified penalties or losses under some of the clauses in the contracts governing our projects.

Some of our contracts call for project completion by a specified date and may contain a penalty clause for our failure to complete a project by this date. During the year ended December 31, 2005, our construction division reported an operating loss of $2.9 million compared to $4.6 million of operating income for the corresponding period of 2004. This decrease was primarily attributable to a substantial increase in the estimated costs to complete a current marina project in the U.S. Virgin Islands due to operational difficulties encountered during the year. As a result, the anticipated gross margin on this project was reduced by more than $5.2 million during the year, resulting in a loss on the project in 2005 of $3.8 million. In addition, under the terms of some of our contracts, we make warranties that extend for a period of time beyond the completion of these contracts.

Our failure to enter into new contracts to replace completed contracts could have an adverse impact on our operations.

General economic conditions in the markets in which we conduct business could have a material impact upon our operations.

We have competitors in the materials business in the locations where we conduct business. The competition includes local ready-mix concrete and local concrete block plants, and importers of aggregates and concrete blocks. We also encounter competition from the producers of asphalt, which is an alternative material to concrete for road construction. Most competitors, such as ready-mix and local concrete block producers, have a disadvantage compared to our material costs, but have an advantage over us in respect to lower overhead costs. With respect to our construction division, land development construction is extremely competitive. We compete with smaller local contractors as well as larger U.S. and European based contractors in all our markets. Primary competitive factors include price, prior experience and relationships, the equipment available to complete the job, innovation, the available engineering staff to assist an owner in minimizing costs, how quickly a company can complete a contract, and the ability to obtain bonding which guarantees contract completion.

We are highly dependent on supplies of cement and Barbuda sand and a failure to maintain adequate supplies would adversely affect our operations.

Some of our significant customers are governmental agencies of islands in the Caribbean which may constitute a credit risk.

We are highly dependent on the availability of barging and towing services in the Caribbean.

We are highly dependent upon having the ability to secure bid, payment, and performance bonds.

We are highly dependent upon the ability to secure work permits for employees.

We are highly dependent upon the ability to secure business licenses to operate in foreign jurisdictions, particularly in the Bahamas.

The following table shows information on the properties and facilities that we owned or leased for our operations at December 31, 2005:

For additional information about our obligations on property leases, please see Note 14, Lease Commitments, to our consolidated financial statements.

We are involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, primarily in connection with our Construction division.

In the fall of 2000, Virgin Islands Cement and Building Products, Inc. (“VICBP”), a subsidiary of ours, was under contract with the Virgin Islands Port Authority (“VIPA”) for the construction of the expansion of the St. Croix Airport. During the project, homeowners and residents of the Yellow Cedar Housing Community, located next to the end of the expansion project, claimed to have experienced several days of excessive dust in their area as a result of the ongoing construction work. The homeowners of Yellow Cedar have filed two separate lawsuits for unspecified damages against VIPA and VICBP as co-defendants. One suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands by Mariepaul Antoine, Benjamin Ashe, et. al, vs. VIPA et. al, case #2001,63 R/F, seeks equitable relief from nuisance, specific performance and damages. The second suit, Louisa Williams et. al vs. VIPA et. al filed in the Territorial Court of the U.S.V.I. case #548/2000 seeks equitable relief from nuisance, specific performance and damages. In both cases, VICBP, as defendant, has agreed to indemnify VIPA for any civil action as a result of the construction work. Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), the general liability carrier for VICBP during that period, has taken the legal position that “dust” is a pollutant and, therefore, the pollution exclusion clause applies and as a result denies liability insurance coverage to VICBP. Corporate counsel in Florida, as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands, have advised us that laws now in place should enable us to enforce the duty-to-defend clause contained in the liability policy, thus affording usa defense for both legal actions. The Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance in rehabilitation in October 2001, and subsequently into liquidation. We have also presented claims under the policy to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, the V.I. Insurance Guaranty Association, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, and to our excess liability insurance carrier, Zurich Insurance Company. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate our potential, if any, risk of loss.

began to develop exterior cracking and “pop outs.” In November 1993, BBW was named one of several defendants, including the building’s insurer, in a suit filed by Syndicat des Copropriétaires la Résidence Le Flamboyant (condominium owners association of Le Flamboyant) in the French court “Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris”, case No. 510082/93. A French court assigned an expert to examine the cause of the cracking and pop outs and to determine if the cracking/pop outs are caused by a phenomenon known as alkali reaction (“ARS”). The expert found, in his report dated December 3, 1998, that BBW was responsible for the ARS. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages, including demolition and replacement of the 272 apartments. Based on the advice of legal counsel, a judgment assessed in a French court would not be enforceable against a Netherlands Antilles company. Thus, in order to obtain an enforceable judgment, the plaintiff would have to file a successful claim in an Antillean court. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate the potential risk of loss, if any, to the Company. Due to the lack of enforceability, the Company decided not to continue the defense in the French court. Therefore, the Company may not be aware of recent developments in the proceedings. Management believes our defenses to be meritorious and does not believe that the outcome will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

On July 25, 1995, a Company subsidiary, Société des Carriéres de Grande Case (“SCGC”), entered into an agreement with Mr. Fernand Hubert Petit, Mr. Francois Laurent Petit and Mr. Michel Andre Lucien Petit, (collectively, “Petit”) to lease a quarry located in the French side of St. Martin. Another lease was entered into by SCGC on October 27, 1999 for the same and additional property. Another Company subsidiary, Bouwbedrijf Boven Winden, N.A. (“BBW”), entered into a material supply agreement with Petit on July 31, 1995. This agreement was amended on October 27, 1999. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company became a party to the materials supply agreement. In May 2004, the Company advised Petit that it would possibly be removing its equipment within the timeframes provided in its agreements and made a partial quarterly payment under the materials supply agreement. On June 3, 2004, Petit advised the Company in writing that Petit was terminating the materials supply agreement immediately because Petit had not received the full quarterly payment and also advised that it would not renew the 1999 lease when it expired on October 27, 2004. Petit refused to accept the remainder of the quarterly payment from the Company in the amount of $45,000. Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets were impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit claimed that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by the Company if the contract continued for the entire potential term and the Company continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by the Company on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and the Company entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

The Company will obtain independent appraisals to determine the fair value of any non-cash consideration, including the exercise of the options listed above, used in settlement of a judgment received by Petit, if any.

After conferring with its French counsel and upon review by management, the Company believes that it has valid defenses and offsets to Petit’s claims, including, among others, those relating to its termination rights and the benefit to Petit from the Company not mining the property. Based on the foregoing agreements and its review, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in various legal actions and other claims, some of which are currently pending. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and we may be unable to accurately predict the outcome of individual litigated matters. Some of these matters possibly may be decided unfavorably to us. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not be material.

We are involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, management currently does not foresee such expenses in the future as having a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. We believe that the Company is in compliance with all such laws and regulations. Compliance with environmental protection laws has not had a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the past and is not expected to have a material adverse impact in the foreseeable future.

We held our Annual Shareholders Meeting on October 21, 2005. The issues submitted to a vote of the security holders and the results of the voting are as follows:

The Board consists of nine directors. All nominees were elected to serve for a one-year period. See “Resignation and Replacement of Independent Director” on page 15 of this Annual Report for a discussion regarding the resignation of James R. Cast and the appointment of P. Rodney Cunningham to our board of directors.

The Company has not made any material accounting changes in the past five years.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We and our representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.

The forward-looking statements are and will be based upon our management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results, including our revenues from our electronic security services and construction and materials operations, expenses, gross margins, cash flows, financial condition, and net income, as well as factors such as our competitive position, inventory levels, backlog, the demand for our products and services, customer base and the liquidity and needs of customers, may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements or those currently being experienced by the Company for a number of reasons, including but not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” and the following:

The foregoing list is not exhaustive. There can be no assurance that we have correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting our business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact us. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For these reasons, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

Dollar amounts of $1.0 million or more are rounded to the nearest one tenth of a million; all other dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand and all percentages are stated to the nearest one tenth of one percent. See also Note 1(p), Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements for certain revisions and reclassifications which are reflected in this item.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2005 with Year Ended December 31, 2004

During 2005 we continued to redeploy certain of our assets and make new investments into more predictable recurring revenue businesses by completing the following transactions within our electronic security services division:

These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The results of these operations are included in the financial statements only from the respective acquisition dates, accordingly, the results of Guardian have not been included in our financial results for any years presented. The acquisitions were funded through cash on hand, proceeds from our $100.0 million credit facility, and the issuance of $45 million in new debt. The new debt was issued

contemporaneously with the closing of the Guardian merger in March 2006 and, pending shareholder approval, will be repaid and replaced by Convertible Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference equal to the $45,000,000 outstanding principal under the notes.

Also, in September 2005, we sold our U.S. Virgin Island materials operation for $13.3 million. Accordingly, the net operating results of this business are reported as discontinued operations for all years presented in our consolidated financial statements. As presented in Note 25, Subsequent Events, to our consolidated financial statements, on March 2, 2006, we divested our Antigua quarry, concrete and aggregate businesses for $5.1 million.

In December 2005 we entered into a letter of intent to sell our construction division and our then remaining materials operation to a private investor group for $22.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. In January 2006, the private investor group notified us that it was no longer in a position to complete the transaction as set forth in the letter. Accordingly, negotiations regarding the transaction ceased. Concurrently with the private investor group negotiations, we performed a strategic review of our construction and materials operations to determine how we could improve the divisions’ performance and whether, in accordance with our accounting policies, our long-lived assets employed in our construction and materials divisions required a charge for impairment in value. As presented in Note 22, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, to our consolidated financial statements, that review resulted in an impairment charge of $4.1 million.

The combined effect of the acquisitions of the electronic security services business and the divestiture of the U.S. Virgin Island and Antiguan materials businesses is that our revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $84.9 million of which $18.5 million, or 21.8% of total revenue, resulted from the electronic security services business. Since the results of the electronic security services operations were only included for the portions of the year subsequent to acquisition, revenues from the electronic security services in 2006 and beyond are expected to represent more than 50% of our revenues.

In 2005, our consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to $84.9 million, an increase of $30.9 million, or approximately a 57.1% increase, compared to 2004’s revenue from continuing operations of $54.0 million. This revenue increase was principally due to a $14.3 million and $17.6 million increases recorded by our construction and electronic security services divisions, respectively. Our operating loss from continuing operations in 2005 increased $12.7 million to $16.3 million when compared to 2004 of $3.6 million. This significant decline was principally a result of our construction and materials divisions recording a combined decrease in gross profit of $7.8 million, an increase of $11.9 million in consolidated administration expenses and an impairment of assets charge of $3.9 million, associated with our construction and materials divisions. These items were partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in gross margin recorded by our electonic security services division. Other income decreased $14.6 million to an $0.8 million expense in 2005 compared to $13.8 million income in 2004. This decrease in other income was principally due to an $11.0 million one-time gain recorded in December 2004 for the settlement of an outstanding note receivable and pending claims with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda combined with an increase in net interest expense of $4.6 million from interest expense of $2.7 million in 2005 compared to interest income of $2.7 million in 2004. The interest expense increase is principally due to new borrowings incurred to acquire the electronic security services operations of Adelphia Communications as well as all the outstanding share capital of Coastal Security and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Net loss from continuing operations for 2005 was $16.9 million compared to a net income from continuing operations in 2004 of $8.9 million, or a decrease of $25.8 million.

In 2005, our consolidated revenue amounted to $84.9 million, an increase of $30.9 million, or, approximately, a 57.1% increase, when compared to 2004’s revenue of $54.0 million. This revenue increase was principally due to an increase in revenue recorded by our electronic security services and construction divisions of $17.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

Revenue from electronic security services division increased by $17.6 million to $18.5 million in 2005 from $0.9 million in 2004. Revenue from the electronic security services division is comprised of the monitoring and maintenance of security systems at subscribers premises, billable services performed on a time and materials basis (“Service Revenue”) and net installation revenue after taking into effect the requirements of SAB 104, which requires the deferral of certain revenue and related costs until services have been fulfilled. The electronic security services division increase in revenue was primarily a result of the acquisition of the electronic security services operations of Starpoint and Coastal. Starpoint and Coastal were acquired on February 28, 2005 and November 10, 2005, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The results of these operations are included in the financial statements only from the respective acquisition dates.

Our construction division increased by $14.3 million to $39.3 million when compared to $25.0 million in 2004, or a 57.0% increase. This increase resulted primarily from increased activity in the Bahamas and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our backlog of unfilled portions of construction contracts at December 31, 2005 was approximately $17.0 million, involving 18 projects, as compared to approximately $18.6 million, involving 16 projects, at December 31, 2004. From December 31, 2005 through March 31, 2006, we entered into 4 new construction contracts in the Caribbean, which revenue we anticipate when recognized will amount to approximately $8.1million.

The materials division continuing operations revenue decreased 5.5% to $26.3 million in 2005 compared to $27.8 million in 2004. This was principally attributable to a decrease recorded by our combined operations on Sint Maarten/St. Martin of 13.9%, or $2.2 million, a decrease recorded by our Puerto Rican operations of 11.0%, or $0.4 million, offset by 12.5% or a $1.1 million increase recorded by our Antigua operation. The decrease on Sint Maarten/St. Martin was due to shortages of cement supply which were experienced in 2004 and have continued in 2005 and which have added to operational inefficiencies as well as declining sales. During 2005, management has implemented an alternative sourcing strategy for cement, which it believes should help in minimizing potential outages in the future. Given the current worldwide demand for cement and the pressures on supply, there can be no assurances that cement outages will not happen from time to time in the future. The decline in Puerto Rico was due to a change of control transaction with respect to our largest customer and, as a consequence of this transaction we experienced a significant reduction in the volume of sand being purchased from us by this customer. The increase in Antigua was due to increased demand for aggregate and ready-mix on the Island due to an increase in local construction activity, as well as price increases which we implemented during the course of 2005.

Cost of electronic security services amounted to $8.0 million or 43.4% of revenue. Included in this cost are the direct costs incurred to monitor and service security systems installed at subscriber premises, as well as the net direct costs incurred with the installation of new security systems after taking into consideration the effects of SAB 104. These costs arose as a result of our aforementioned acquisitions of SEC, Starpoint and Coastal.

Cost of construction as a percentage of construction revenue increased to 93.8% during 2005 from 70.0% during 2004, or an increase of 23.8%. The increase is principally attributable to a substantial increase in the estimated costs to complete a marina project in the U.S. Virgin Islands as a result of operational difficulties. As a result of this project, the gross margin from construction operations was reduced by approximately $5.2 million during the year. The division also had overruns of approximately $1.0 million on certain projects in the Bahamas. In addition, the construction division continued to experience declining margins due to the completion of high margin projects that are being replaced by lower margin projects. We are closely monitoring our ongoing bidding, contracting and project management procedures with the objective of improving our gross margin on construction jobs in the future.

Cost of materials for continuing operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 93.1% during 2005 from 83.5 % during 2004. Continued delays and shortages in cement had a negative effect on our combined operation on Sint Maarten/St. Martin as well as Antigua. The cement supply shortage experienced in 2004 continued in 2005 and, as a consequence, our ready-mix plants were not able to produce finished products on many days throughout 2005. In addition we also experienced capacity problems in our ability to manufacture sand at our St. Martin quarry which resulted in the need for us to import more sand from third party producers, and higher raw material, shipping and production costs. The imported sand has certain characteristics that require an increase in the volume of sand used in our ready-mix operations to meet our quality control standards. Management has implemented an alternative sourcing strategy for cement, which it believes should help in minimizing potential outages in the future and has recently significantly curtailed selling our internally manufactured sand to third parties, which will provide higher quality, lower cost sand to our ready-mix batch plant operations. Given the current worldwide demand for cement and the pressures on supply there can be no assurances that cement outages will not happen from time to time in the future. In addition, our Puerto Rico operation incurred increased production costs due to higher equipment rental, fuel and maintenance expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) during 2005 increased $12.0 million to $26.1 million, compared to $14.1 million in 2004. The table below reflects the SG&A expense recorded by our three divisions:

The $10.8 million increase in the electronic security services division SG&A expenses was primarily a result of the acquisition of the electronic security services operations of Starpoint and Coastal, which were acquired on February 28, 2005 and November 10, 2005, respectively. The results of these operations are included in the financial statements only from the respective acquisition dates. Included in the security division SG&A expenses is $4.3 million of amortization, inclusive of an additional charge for amortization of customer accounts acquired by us pursuant to the various electronic security services acquisitions we completed in 2005. Customer accounts are stated at fair value based upon the discounted cash flows over the estimated life of the customer contracts and relationship and are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the customer accounts plus an additional charge for discontinued accounts. The $1.9 million increase in the construction division SG&A expenses is primarily a result of increased travel expenses, wages and employee benefit costs associated with managing the larger number of projects and increased revenues generated by this division in 2005, compared to 2004.

Severance and retirement expense decreased in 2005 to $ 1.2 million from $1.7 million. The $0.5 million decrease is due to the non-recurring charges associated with the separation of our former Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President.

In accordance with SFAS 144, we performed an analysis of various construction contracts, quarry and material aggregate sites as well as our joint venture operations, DevMat. Based on this review we determined that impairment of certain of our long lived assets had occurred and, accordingly, we recorded the following impairment charges:

Other income decreased $14.6 million to a net other expense of $0.8 million in 2005 compared to net other income of $13.8 million in 2004. This decrease is principally attributable to an $11.0 million non-recurring gain recorded by us in 2004 due to a settlement of an outstanding note receivable and various pending claims with the

Government of Antigua and Barbuda. During 2005, we incurred net interest expense of $1.8 million compared to net interest income of $2.7 million in 2004, mainly attributable to interest expense resulting in our electronic security services division’s acquisition of Starpoint and Coastal. In addition as a result of the repayment of the CIT facility we recorded a $1.0 million loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Income tax expense decreased by $1.5 million to a benefit of $0.2 million when compared to a $1.3 million expense in 2004.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2004 with Year Ended December 31, 2003

In 2004, our consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to $54.0 million, an increase of $9.9 million or approximately 22.6% compared to revenue from continuing operations of $44.1 million in 2003. This revenue increase was principally due to an increase in revenue of $7.9 million recorded by our construction division and by a $0.9 million increase reported by our security division as a result of our acquisition of SEC. SEC, our initial security acquisition, was completed on July 30, 2004. The acquisition was accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting and the results of these operations are included in the financial statements only from the respective acquisition date. Our operating loss from continuing operations decreased $4.9 million to $3.6 million when compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $8.5 million in 2003. This significant improvement was principally a result of our construction and materials divisions achieving a combined increase in gross margin of $6.2 million. These improvements were reduced by an increase in operating expenses totaling $1.6 million. Other income increased $10.9 million, principally due to the settlement of an outstanding note receivable and various pending claims with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. Net income from continuing operations for 2004 increased by $14.5 million to $8.9 million when compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $5.6 million in 2003.

In 2004 our consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to $54.0 million, an increase of $9.9 million, or, approximately a 22.6% increase when compared to 2003’s revenue of $44.1 million. This revenue increase was principally due to an increase in revenue recorded by our construction and security divisions.

Our construction business revenues increased by $7.9 million to $25.1 million when compared to $17.1 million in 2003. This increase resulted primarily from increased activity in the Bahamas and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our backlog of unfilled portions of construction development contracts at December 31, 2004 was approximately $18.6 million, involving 16 projects, as compared to approximately $5.6 million involving 12 projects at December 31, 2003. Our backlog on Exuma, in the Bahamas, at December 31, 2004, was approximately $5.8 million.

Our security business revenue increased by $0.9 million. The security division revenue was primarily a result of the acquisition of SEC our initial security acquisition, on July 30, 2004. The acquisition was accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting and the results of these operations are included in the financial statements only from the respective acquisition date.

Our materials business revenue from continuing operations increased by $0.9 million to $27.8 million in 2004 from $26.9 million in 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sand and aggregate sales on the island of St. Martin.

Cost of construction decreased to 70.0% of Construction revenue in 2004 from 89.2% in 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to the increased volume in the Bahamas construction subsidiary and also to the varying profitability levels of individual contracts and the stage of completion of such contracts.

Cost of materials decreased to 83.5% of materials revenue from 85.0% in 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of improved margins in on operations of the island of St. Martin. Notwithstanding increased revenues in all our continuing materials operations, margins were impacted during 2004 due to tight supplies of cement throughout our operations. This supply condition resulted in higher than expected raw materials cost at all our ready-mix operations. In addition, severe weather conditions brought on by several hurricanes which moved through the Caribbean during September 2004 resulted in supply delays and other inefficiencies in our materials business during the fourth quarter of 2004. Margins were also affected by unfavorable inventory variances recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Total operating expenses, including unallocated corporate charges, increased by 11.2% to $16.0 million in 2004 from $14.4 million in 2003. Operating expenses reported in 2003 included a $2.9 million impairment expense with respect to certain long–lived assets in our materials division compared to $0.2 million in 2004. The comparable increase in operating expense amounts to approximately $4.3 million.

Our construction division’s operating expense increased $0.5 million to $2.9 million compared to $2.4 million in 2003. This increase is due to additional overhead necessary as a result of the $7.9 million revenue increase reported by our construction division during 2004.

Our materials division operating expense from continuing operations decreased $1.2 million to $7.6 million compared to $8.8 million in 2003. The materials division’s operating expense in 2003 included a $2.9 million impairment expense with respect to certain long–lived assets, which expense compared to $0.2 million in 2004; therefore, the comparable increase in operating expense amounts to $1.4 million. The increase in operating expense is principally the result of approximately $0.9 million of bad debt expense and $0.6 million of retirement and severance expense incurred by our Sint Maarten and Antigua operations.

Our corporate and unallocated operating expense increased $1.7 million to $4.4 million in 2004 compared to $2.7 million in 2003. This increase is attributable to a $0.5 million non-cash expense associated with the issuance of certain common stock warrants, and a $0.9 million increase in salaries and related benefits associated with adding the personnel necessary to execute our entry into the electronic security services sector, as well as to address the expected growth in our construction division. In addition, we incurred an increase of $0.2 million in legal and audit fees in 2004.

Other income increased $10.9 million to $13.8 million when compared to $2.9 million in 2003. This increase was principally due to the settlement of an outstanding note receivable and various pending claims with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, which resulted in a gain of $11.0 million.

During 2003 and 2004, the Government of Antigua did not meet all of its payment obligations to us. However, on December 3, 2004, Antigua Masonry Products, Limited and Antigua Heavy Constructors, Limited (collectively “AMP”), direct and indirect subsidiaries of ours, entered into an Agreement for Satisfaction of Indebtedness and Amendment No. 10 to St. John’s Dredging and Deep Water Pier Construction (the “Satisfaction Agreement”) with the government of Antigua and Barbuda (“Antigua”). Pursuant to the terms of the Satisfaction Agreement, AMP and Antigua agreed to a settlement in which approximately $29.0 million in debt owed by Antigua to those companies was deemed satisfied in exchange for certain cash payments made to those companies by Antigua, as well as the remittance of all outstanding tax assessments and other relief from current and future taxes and duties. We, at the time of settlement, had a recorded book value of approximately $6.4 million for the notes. As a result of this Satisfaction Agreement and in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding debt owed to AMP by Antigua, AMP received $11.5 million in cash, a commitment for an additional $937,000 cash which was received during the first quarter of 2005, a $7.5 million credit toward future withholding taxes incurred by AMP or us, plus remittance of all taxes and duties incurred through December 31, 2004. We have only recognized $4.3 million of the future withholding and income tax benefit based on the current plans for repatriation of foreign earnings. The Satisfaction Agreement also settled the litigation over a $6 million assessment issued with respect to our subsidiaries in Antigua.

Income tax expense increased by $1.3 million in 2004 when compared to an amount less than $ 0.1 million in 2003.

Our discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is an analysis of the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), consistently applied. Although our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements, the following discussion is intended to describe those accounting policies and estimates most critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for credit losses, inventories and loss reserve for inventories, cost-to-complete construction contracts, assets held for sale, intangible assets, income taxes, taxes on un-repatriated earnings, warranty obligations, impairment charges, restructuring, business divestitures, pensions, deferral compensation and other employee benefit plans or arrangements, environmental matters, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical

experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue in the security division for repair and installation services, for which no monitoring contract is connected, is recognized when the services are performed.

Revenue in the security division for monitoring services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. We assess the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. Nonrefundable installation charges and a portion of related direct costs to acquire the monitoring contract, such as sales commissions, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of a new subscriber relationship which we have estimated at 10 years. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior the original expected life is completed, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are expensed.

Revenue and earnings on construction contracts, including construction joint ventures, are recognized on the percentage-of-completion-method based upon the ratio of costs incurred to estimated final costs, for which collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue relating to claims only when there exists a legal basis supported by objective and verifiable evidence and additional identifiable costs are incurred due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. Change-orders for additional contract revenue are recognized if it is probable that they will result in additional revenue and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Revenue for the materials division is recognized when the products are delivered (FOB Destination), invoiced at a fixed price and the collectibility is reasonably assured.

Provisions are recognized in the statement of income for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue. Contract cost is recorded as incurred and revisions in contract revenue and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. We estimate costs to complete our construction contracts based on experience from similar work in the past. If the conditions of the work to be performed change or if the estimated costs are not accurately projected, the gross profit from construction contracts may vary significantly in the future. The foregoing, as well as weather, stage of completion and mix of contracts at different margins may cause fluctuations in gross profit between periods and these fluctuations may be significant.

Notes receivable are recorded at cost, less a related allowance for impaired notes receivable. Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, considers a note to be impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from management’s review and assessment of our customers’ ability to make required payments. We consider the age of specific accounts, a customer’s payment history. For our construction and materials divisions, specific collateral given by the customer to secure the receivable is obtained when we determine necessary. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

We write down inventory for estimated obsolescence or lack of marketability arising from the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assessments about current and future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions were to be less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves could be required. If the actual market demand surpasses the projected levels, inventory write downs are not reserved.

We maintain an accrual for retirement agreements with our executives and certain other employees. This accrual is based on the life expectancy of these persons and an assumed weighted average discount rate of 4.3%. Should the actual longevity vary significantly from the United States insurance norms, or should the discount rate used to establish the present value of the obligation vary, the accrual may have to be significantly increased or diminished at that time.

Based on a written legal opinion from Antiguan counsel, we did not record a contingent liability of $6.1 million, excluding any interest or penalties, for taxes assessed by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda for the years 1995 through 1999. In December 2004, we entered into an agreement with Antigua settling certain obligations. Pursuant to this agreement, these assessments were deemed paid. See Note 3, Foreign Subsidiaries, to our consolidated financial statements.

The EDC completed a compliance review on one of our subsidiaries in the US Virgin Islands on February 6, 2004. The compliance review covered the period from April 1, 1998 through March 31, 2003 and resulted from our application to request an extension of tax exemptions from the EDC. We are working with the EDC to resolve the issues. One of those issues is whether certain items of income qualified for exemption benefits under our then-existing tax exemption, including notice of failure to make gross receipts tax payments of $505,000 and income taxes of $2.2 million, not including interest and penalties. This is the first time that a position contrary to our or any position on this specific issue has been raised by the EDC. In light of these recent events, and based on discussions with legal counsel, we established a tax accrual at December 31, 2003 for such exposure which approximates the amounts set forth in the EDC notice. In September 2005 and 2004, the statute of limitations with respect to the income tax return filed by us for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, expired. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, we reversed $37,440 and $2.3 million respectively of the tax accrual established at December 31, 2003. We will work with the EDC regarding this matter and if challenged by the U.S. Virgin Islands taxing authority would vigorously contest its position.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such a determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such a determination.

We determine for our construction and materials division our fixed assets recoverability on a subsidiary level or group of asset level. If we, as a result of our valuation in the future, assess the assets not to be recoverable, a negative adjustment to the book value of those assets may occur. On the other hand, if we impair an asset, and the asset continues to produce income, we may record earnings higher than they should have been if no impairment had been recorded.

We determine the lives of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Some of these assets, such as goodwill, we determine to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB 142. This testing is based on subjective analysis and may change from time to time. We tested goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on June 30, 2005 and will test for impairment annually each June 30. Other identifiable intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The review of impairment and estimation of useful life is subjective and may change from time to time.

Customer accounts are stated at fair value based on the discounted cash flows over the estimated life of the customer contracts and relationships. The Company uses independent appraisal firms to perform a valuation study at the time of acquisition to determine the value and estimated life of customer accounts purchased in order to assist management in determining an appropriate method in which to amortize the asset. The amortization life is based on historic analysis of customer relationships combined with estimates of expected future revenues from customer accounts. The Company amortizes customer accounts on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer which varies from 4 to 17 years and records an additional charge equal to the remaining unamortized value of the customer account for accounts which discontinued service before the expected life. The additional charge for discontinued accounts is equal to the remaining net book value of the customer contract and relationship for the specific customer account canceled.

We are not presently considering changes to any of our critical accounting policies and we do not presently believe that any of our critical accounting policies are reasonably likely to change in the near future. There have not been any material changes to the methodology used in calculating our estimates during the last three years. Our CEO and CFO have reviewed all of the foregoing critical accounting policies and estimates.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Pricing” amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The effective date for this standard is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS

No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends the compliance date, and we are required to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, except that entities also are allowed to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. We have determined we will use the “modified prospective” method. We currently utilize Black-Scholes, a standard option pricing model, to measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees. While SFAS No. 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a “lattice” model. We will continue to use the Black-Scholes model to measure the fair value of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an Amendment of APB No. 29” (“SFAS 153”). The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have “commercial substance.” This standard is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring after July 1, 2005. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”), an interpretation of SFAS 143, “Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 clarifies that the “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143 includes a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated, even if conditional on a future event. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2005, the FASB issued Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) consensus position 05-06 “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination. The issue addresses the amortization period for leasehold improvements in operating leases that are either (a) placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the initial lease term or (b) acquired in a business combination. EITF 05-06 should be applied to leasehold improvements (within the scope of this Issue) that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05-06 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This Statement defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This Statement requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. This Statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. The effective date for this standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We generally fund our working capital needs from operations and bank borrowings. In the electronic security services business, monitoring services are typically billed in advance on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Installations of new security systems for residential customers typically result in a net investment in the customer, whereas installations of new security systems for commercial projects typically have neutral to positive cash flow. In the construction business, we expend considerable funds for equipment, labor and supplies. In the construction division, our capital needs are greatest at the start of a new contract, since we generally must complete 45 to 60 days of work before receiving the first progress payment. As a project continues, a portion of the progress billing is usually withheld as retainage until the work is complete. We sometimes provide long term financing to customers who have previously utilized our construction services. During 2005 and 2004, we financed $171,000 and $532,000 respectively of construction contracts. Repayment by customers are due at different times within the next three years. Accounts receivable for the materials operation are typically established with terms between 30 and 45 days. Our business requires a continuing investment in plant and equipment, along with the related maintenance and upkeep costs.

We believe our cash flow from operations, existing working capital and funds available from lines of credit are adequate to meet our needs during the next 12 months. Historically, we have used a number of lenders to finance a portion of our machinery and equipment purchases. At December 31, 2005, there were no amounts outstanding to these lenders. We believe we have significant collateral and financial stability so that we are able to obtain financing, should it be required, though no assurances can be made.

As of December 31, 2005, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million, working capital of $2.6 million and available lines of credit of $1.4 million. Total outstanding liabilities were $101.8 million as of December 31, 2005, compared to $24.7 million a year earlier.

Cash flow used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $2.0 million compared with $12.4 million provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004. The primary use of cash for operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2005 was an increase in accounts receivable of $4.2 million and an increase in prepaid and other current assets of $3.2 million. The primary source of cash from operating activities was an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6.0 million.

Net cash used by investing activities was $89.8 million in 2005, including $10.8 million from the sale of the V.I. operations. The purchase of Starpoint and Coastal accounted for $91.6 million of cash usage. Net cash provided by financing activities was $61.5 million mainly driven by borrowing.

In our construction and materials businesses, we purchase equipment as needed for our ongoing business operations. This resulted in a net cash expenditure of $8.8 million in 2005. At present, management believes that our inventory of construction equipment is adequate for our current contractual commitments and operating activities. We believe we have available funds or can obtain sufficient financing for our contemplated equipment replacements and additions. New construction contracts may, depending on the nature of the contract and job location and duration, require us to make significant investments in heavy construction equipment. During 2005, we sold or disposed of land, leasehold improvements, buildings and equipment with an original cost basis of $17.3 million and a net book value of $6.8 million. The net proceeds, consisting of cash and notes receivable were $9.5 million. We realized a gain of approximately $2.6 million on these transactions.

We have a $1.0 million unsecured overdraft facility from a commercial bank in the United States. The facility matures on June 30, 2006 and bears interest at a rate variable with LIBOR. The bank can demand repayment of the loan and cancellation of the overdraft facility, if certain financial or other covenants are in default. At December 31, 2005, we had zero outstanding under this line. This facility was put in place to help cash management strategies. We have similar overdraft facilities with Caribbean banks totaling $385,000. At December 31, 2005, we had no outstanding amounts on these facilities.

On February 28, 2005, we, through Devcon Security Services Corp. (“DSS”), one of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of certain net assets of the electronic security services operations Starpoint, for approximately $40.2 million in cash. DSS and its direct parent, Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“DSH”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, financed this acquisition through available cash on hand and a $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility provided by certain lenders and CIT Financial USA, Inc., serving as agent.

On November 10, 2005, DSH entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the sellers of the issued and outstanding capital stock, and certain of Sellers’ representatives, of Coastal, pursuant, to which DSH agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coastal for approximately $50.7 million in cash, including transaction costs. In order to obtain the necessary funds to complete to the stock purchase, DSH and DSS, entered into a Credit Agreement with CapitalSource, along with other lenders party to the Credit Agreement from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”) (“Credit Agreement”). The facility with CapitalSource, which replaced the CIT facility, provided a three-year revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $70,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds for permitted acquisitions, to refinance existing indebtedness, for the purchase and generation of alarm contracts, for the issuance of letters of credit and for other lawful purposes not prohibited by the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers agreed to secure all of their obligations under the loan documents relating to the Credit Agreement by granting to the Lenders, a security interest in and second priority perfected lien upon (1) substantially all of their existing and after-acquired personal and real property, and (2) all capital stock owned by each Borrower of each other Borrower. In addition, Devcon pledged to the Lenders, all of its capital stock of DSS. The interest rate on the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement is tied to the prime rate plus a margin as specified therein or, at the Borrowers’ option, to LIBOR plus a margin.

Also, on November 10, 2005 and in connection with the acquisition of Coastal, the Borrowers entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with CapitalSource, providing for a 120-day bridge loan in the principal amount of $8,000,000 for the purchase and generation of alarm contracts, the acquisition of Coastal, and for other lawful purposes not prohibited by the Bridge Loan Agreement. The Borrowers agreed to secure all of their obligations under the loan documents relating to the Bridge Loan Agreement by granting to CapitalSource a security interest in and first priority perfected lien upon (1) substantially all of their existing and after-acquired personal and real property, and (2) all capital stock owned by each Borrower of each other Borrower. In addition, Devcon pledged to CapitalSource all of its capital stock of DSS as further security for the Borrowers’ obligations under the loan documents relating to the Bridge Loan Agreement. The interest rate on the outstanding obligations under the Bridge Loan Agreement is at the prime rate.

Also in connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, we entered into a Guaranty with CapitalSource, dated as of November 10, 2005 (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which we guaranteed the payment and performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Bridge Loan documents as well as all costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred or advanced by CapitalSource in any way in connection with the foregoing. In both the Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Borrowers provided the Lenders (with respect to the Credit Agreement) and CapitalSource (with respect to the Bridge Loan Agreement) with indemnification for liabilities arising in connection with such agreements, representations and warranties, agreements and affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants as set forth in such agreements.

The Credit Agreement is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. Events of default under the Credit Agreement, include but are not limited to: (a) failure to make principal or interest payments when due and such default continues for three business days, and failure to make payments to Agent for reimbursable expenses within ten business days of their request, (b) any representation or warranty proves incorrect in any material respect, (c) failure to observe obligations relating to cash management, negative covenants (including regarding mergers, investments, loans, indebtedness, guaranties, liens and sale of stock and assets) and financial covenants (regarding a leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, annual capital expenditure limitations and an attrition ratio of not greater than 11%), (d) a default or breach with respect to any indebtedness and certain guaranty obligations in excess of $300,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate, (e) certain events related to insolvency or the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and (f) any change of control, change of management or the occurrence of any material adverse effect, as further set forth in the Credit Agreement. Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreement, CapitalSource may avail itself of various remedies including, without limitation, suspending or terminating existing commitments to make advances or immediately demanding payment on outstanding loans, as well as other remedies available to it under law and equity.

On March 6, 2006, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 9, 2005, we and Devcon Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours completed a merger (the “Merger”) in which we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian, for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $65.5 million in cash. The Merger was approved by shareholders of Guardian on February 24, 2006.

In order to finance the Merger, on March 6, 2006, we also (i) closed a private placement of the Notes described below and Warrants under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, and (ii) through DSH, increased our credit line (the “Credit Line”) from $70 million to $100 million under our revolving credit facility with CapitalSource. Most of the proceeds from the Notes, the Warrants and the draw down under the increased Credit Agreement were used to acquire Guardian. The remaining proceeds were used to repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan, which was issued in November, 2005, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of March 31, 2006, and following the acquisition of Guardian,

we had $7.0 million unused availability on our $100 million CapitalSource credit facility. Additionally, based on the credit facilities formula for availability to borrow, we had $2.5 million of additional borrowing capacity against the $7.0 million of availability as of March 31, 2006.

As noted, on March 6, 2006, we issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum (which rate increases to 18% per annum in the event we fail to make payments required under the notes when due).

We anticipate that, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), par value $.10 per share, of Devcon with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000, convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

On June 6, 1991, we issued a promissory note in favor of Donald L. Smith, Jr., a director and former President and Chief Executive Officer of ours in the aggregate principal amount of $2,070,000. The note provided that the balance due under the note was due on January 1, 2004, but this maturity date has been extended by agreement between us and Mr. Smith to October 1, 2006. The note is unsecured and bears interest at the prime rate. Presently $1.7 million is outstanding under the note. The balance under the note becomes immediately due and payable upon a change of control (as defined in the note). The note defines a “change of control” as the acquisition or other beneficial ownership, the commencement of an offer to acquire beneficial ownership, or the filing of a Schedule 13D or 13G with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating an intention to acquire beneficial ownership, by any person or group, other than Mr. Smith and members of his family, of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. However, under the terms of a guarantee dated March 10, 2004, by and between us and Mr. Smith where Mr. Smith guarantees a receivable from Emerald Bay Resort amounting to $2.2 million, Mr. Smith must maintain collateral in the amount of $1.8 million.

Our issued guarantees are more fully described below under Note 19 “Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements. Our short-term borrowings, long-term debt, lease commitments and other long-term obligations are more fully described in Notes 8, 14 and 23 respectively, to our consolidated financial statements. The following table provides a summary of our contractual obligations by due date:

We have not guaranteed any other person’s or company’s debt, except as set forth below in “Contingent Liabilities.” We have not entered into any currency or interest options, swaps or future contracts, nor do we have any off balance sheet debts or transactions, except as disclosed below under “Contingent Liabilities.”

During the second quarter 2002, we issued a construction contract performance guarantee together with one of our customers, Northshore Partners, Inc., (“Northshore”), in favor of Estate Plessen Associates L.P. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, for $5.1 million. Northshore Partners was an important customer on St. Croix and the construction contract that Northshore Partners had with Estate Plessen Associate L.P. had requirements for our construction materials. We provided a letter of credit for $500,000 as collateral for our performance guarantee. The construction project was finished in September 2003 and the performance guarantee expired, without a claim being made, in 2005. We received an up front fee of $154,000, recognition of which was deferred until expiration of the guarantee and determination that we had no contingent liability. Such determination was made and the $154,000 fee was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2005.

On July 25, 1995, our subsidiary, Société des Carriéres de Grande Case (“SCGC”), entered into an agreement with Mr. Fernand Hubert Petit, Mr. Francois Laurent Petit and Mr. Michel Andre Lucien Petit, (collectively, “Petit”) to lease a quarry located in the French side of St. Martin. Another lease was entered into by SCGC on October 27, 1999 for the same and additional property. Another subsidiary of ours, Bouwbedrijf Boven Winden, N.A. (“BBW”), entered into a material supply agreement with Petit on July 31, 1995. This agreement was amended on October 27, 1999. Pursuant to the amendment, we became a party to the materials supply agreement.

In May 2004, we advised Petit that it would possibly be removing its equipment within the timeframes provided in its agreements and made a partial quarterly payment under the materials supply agreement. On June 3, 2004, Petit advised us in writing that Petit was terminating the materials supply agreement immediately because Petit had not received the full quarterly payment and also advised that it would not renew the 1999 lease when it expired on October 27, 2004. Petit has refused to accept the remainder of the quarterly payment from us in the amount of $45,000.

Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets has been impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit alleged that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by us if the contract continued for the entire potential term and we continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by us on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and Devcon entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

After conferring with its French counsel and upon review by management, we believe that we have valid defenses and offsets to Petit’s claims, including, among others, those relating to our termination rights and the benefit to Petit from us not mining the property. Based on the foregoing agreements and its review, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We will obtain independent appraisals to determine the fair value of any non-cash consideration, including the exercise of the options listed above, used in settlement of a judgment received by Petit, if any.

We are subject to certain Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that we are in compliance with all such laws and regulations except for certain violations of regulations governing the exploitation of our quarry in Saint Martin. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we received a Statement of Observations resulting from a site examination on September 23, 2005. The site examination was conducted by Drire, the Saint Martin agency charged with the responsibility of enforcing regulations governing the exploitation of quarries. We are in the process of addressing the items identified in the Statement of Observations, none of which are anticipated to have a material adverse effect upon us. Compliance with environmental protection laws has not had a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the past and is not expected to have a material adverse effect in the foreseeable future.

Our Senior Loan provided by CIT issued in February 2005 was refinanced in November 2005. Accordingly, with its repayment, a non-recourse performance guarantee secured by our stock in DSH was released.

In connection with the CIT Senior Loan repayment, and financing the acquisition of Coastal Security Services in November 2005, we entered into a $70 million revolving credit agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC replacing in full the CIT facility. The specific terms of the CapitalSource revolving credit facility are more specifically described in the liquidity section of this Management Discussion and Analysis. We have signed a non-recourse performance guarantee with CapitalSource and pledged, as collateral, our stock in DSH. Subsequently, in connection with the March 2006 acquisition of Guardian, we increased the facility with CapitalSource to $100 million.

We have no other off-balance sheet transactions where we are the obligors. Details regarding our’s other contingent liabilities are described fully in Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements.

In addition, we may have exposure to liability in connection with pending disputes in which we are involved; see “Item 3. Legal Proceedings”.

We have engaged in transactions with some of our directors or employees, and other related parties. See Note 16, Related Party Transactions, to our consolidated financial statements and Item 13 of Part III.

We are exposed to financial market risks due primarily to changes in interest rates, which it we manage primarily by managing the maturities of our financial instruments. We do not use derivatives to alter the interest characteristics of our financial instruments. A change in interest rate may materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates results from the variable rate of our senior secured revolving credit facility with CapitalSource, as an increase in interest rates would result in lower earnings and increased cash outflows. The interest rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility is payable at variable rates indexed to either LIBOR or the Base Rate. The effect of each 1% increase in the LIBOR rate and the Base Rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility would result in an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $0.5 million. Based on the U.S. yield curve as of December 31, 2005 and other available information, we project interest expense on our variable rate debt to increase approximately $0.06, $0.03, $0.0 and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively

We have operations overseas. Generally, all significant activities of the overseas affiliates are recorded in their functional currency, which is generally the currency of the country of domicile of the affiliate. The foreign functional currencies that we deal with are Netherlands Antilles Guilders, Eastern Caribbean Units and Euros. The first two are pegged to the U.S. dollar and have remained fixed for many years. Management does not believe a change in the Euro exchange rate will materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

The financial information and the supplementary data required in response to this Item are as follows:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Devcon International Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Devcon International Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive (Loss) Income

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Devcon International Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates are accounted for under the equity and cost methods. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and then adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of these ventures. Other investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company owns less than 20% are accounted for by using the cost method.

Revenue in the security division for repair and installation services, for which no monitoring contract is connected, is recognized when the services are performed.

Revenue in the security division for monitoring services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. The Company assesses the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (SAB 104), nonrefundable installation charges and a portion of related direct costs to acquire the monitoring contract, such as sales commissions, are deferred. The capitalized costs related to the installation are then amortized over the 10 year life of an average customer contract. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior to completion of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are recognized.

Revenue is recognized when the products are delivered (FOB Destination), invoiced at a fixed price and the collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for both financial statements and tax reports. Revenue is recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the completion percentage of each project, based on the cost-to-cost method. Anticipated contract losses, when probable and estimable, are charged to income. Changes in estimated contract profits are recorded in the period of change. Selling, general and administrative expenses are not allocated to contract costs. Monthly billings are based on the percentage of work completed in accordance with each specific contract. While some contracts extend longer, most are completed within one year. Revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method when there is an agreement for the work, with a fixed price for the work performed or a fixed price for a quantity of work delivered, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue relating to claims only when there exists a legal basis supported by objective and verifiable evidence and additional identifiable costs are incurred due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Change-orders for additional contract revenue are recognized if it is probable that they will result in additional revenue and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, time deposits and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on historical experience and other information available to management.

Notes receivable are recorded at cost, less a related allowance for impaired notes receivable. Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, considers a note to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the note’s effective interest rate.

For the security division, inventories are primarily electronic sensors, wire and control panels (“component parts”) purchased from independent suppliers. The inventories of component parts are valued at lower of cost or market. If the installation of security systems will have future recurring revenue, the costs to install are deferred and included in work in process inventory. When the installation is complete, the deferred installation costs are capitalized and included in other current and long term assets accordingly. The capitalized installation costs are then amortized over the life of an average customer contract life or 10 years. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior to completion of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are expensed.

For the construction and materials division purchased inventory, primarily cement, concrete block and sand are valued at invoice cost plus inbound freight. Manufactured aggregate and concrete block inventory values include allocable blasting, extracting, crushing, and washing costs, which includes labor, supplies, extraction royalties and quarry department direct overhead. Selling and general administrative costs are not allocated to inventory. Amounts are removed from inventory based upon average costs, which are adjusted quarterly.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Depreciation expense was $5.4 million, $3.7 million and $3.8 million for 2005, 2004 and 2003 respectively, excluding discontinued operations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future

undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value of the asset is determined by reviewing both the fair market value of the asset if sold individually and the average of probability weighted future cash flows generated by the asset or group of assets discounted at a risk free rate of return over the expected useful life of the asset.

If the long-lived assets are continuing to be used in the operations of the business, any impairment in value is recognized in Operating Expenses of the continuing operations of the business. Additionally, the remaining depreciable life of the assets is reviewed to determine if the events or circumstances leading to the impairment analysis indicate a change in the future depreciable life should be made.

If the long-lived assets are identified as being planned for disposal or sale, they would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

In accordance with this policy, the Company determined, in fourth quarter of 2005, that the long-lived assets of the Company’s constructions division, its remaining materials operations and DevMat, an 80 percent-owned joint venture providing power, water and sewer treatment services, should be reviewed for possible impairment. That determination was the result of a strategic review by the Company of its Construction and Materials operations following the January 15, 2006 termination of a November 28, 2005 letter of intent with a potential purchaser to purchase those assets. As more fully described in Note 22 to Company’s consolidated financial statements , an impairment charge of $4.1 million was recorded as a result of the strategic review.

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 142 (“FASB 142”), goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB 142. The Company tests goodwill for impairment as of June 30 of each year.

FASB 142 also requires that customer accounts and intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

All balances denominated in foreign currencies are revalued at year-end rates to the respective functional currency of each subsidiary. For the subsidiary, with a functional currency other than the US dollar, assets and liabilities have been translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income statement accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates during the period. The translation adjustment (decreased) increased equity by ($502,610), ($241,263) and $463,581 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in the net income of the period. The (expense) income recorded in selling, general & administrative expenses was ($306,069), $184,449 and $(40,287), in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company does not record a foreign exchange loss or gain on long-term inter-company debt for its subsidiary. This gain or loss is deferred and combined with the translation adjustment of said subsidiary. If and when the debt is paid, in part or whole, the deferred loss or gain will be realized and will affect the respective result of the period.

The Company computes (loss) income per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” which establishes standards for computing and presenting basic and diluted income per share. Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed assuming the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method and the related income tax effects, if not antidilutive. For loss periods, common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation, as their effect would be antidilutive. See Note 9 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the computation of basic and diluted number of shares.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Subsidiaries located in U.S. possessions and foreign countries file individual income tax returns. U.S. income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested by foreign subsidiaries, unless the earnings can be repatriated in a tax-free or cash-flow neutral manner.

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, in accounting for its fixed plan stock options. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

The Company did not grant any options in 2005. The per-share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2004 and 2003 was $3.11 and $2.32, respectively, on the grant date, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Had the Company determined compensation cost based on fair value at the grant date for our stock options under SFAS 123, the Company’s net (loss) income would have been the pro forma amounts below:

Certain reclassification of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented.

In September 2005, the Company sold its U.S. Virgin Islands quarries, concrete batch plant, and building products business. For purposes of comparability, the results of these operations have been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations for all years presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 13, the Company performs a review of newly acquired leases to determine as whether a lease should be treated either as a capital or operating lease. Capital leased assets are capitalized and depreciation over the term to of the initial lease. A liability equal to the present value of the aggregated lease payments would be recorded utilizing the stated lease interest rate. If an interest rate is not stated the Company will determine an estimated cost of capital to be utilized that rate to calculate the present value. If the lease has an increasing rate over time and/or is an operating lease all leasehold incentives, rent holidays, or other incentives will be consider in determining if a deferred rent liability is required. Leasehold incentives are capitalized and depreciated over the initial term of the lease.

The Construction division’s trade accounts receivable includes retention billings of $1,703,388 and $652,391 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Included in notes and other receivables is an unsecured note due from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda (the “Government”) totaling a net amount of $987,500 in 2004. The balance amount of $987,500 was collected in the first quarter of 2005. These notes were originally executed in connection with a construction contract in 1987. During the following nine years, eight amendments to the agreement were executed, primarily due to additional work contracted. In 1987, the notes were placed on the cost recovery method, and all payments received from the Government from agreed upon sources were recorded as reduction of the principal balance of the notes. Payments from agreed upon sources were derived from lease proceeds from a rental of a United States military base, fuel tax revenues and proceeds from a real estate venture.

In April 2000, the Company executed the ninth amendment to the agreement with the Government and the notes were removed from the cost recovery method. The original notes receivable were consolidated into two new 15-year notes and the stated interest rate was reduced from 10 % to 6 % annually. Payments from agreed upon sources were expanded to include an additional monthly payment of $61,400, starting in August 2000, and up to $2.5 million in offsets against future duties and taxes to be incurred by the Company. In total, the agreement called for $155,000 to be received monthly and $312,500 to be received quarterly, until maturity in 2015. The Government did not fulfill its payment obligations in 2003. Since April 28, 2000 the Company has been recognizing interest income on the notes under the accrual basis. Receipts on the notes were $12.2 million in 2004. Interest income recognized in 2004 and 2003 was $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Company records payments received, first to the projected principal reductions for the period, then to accrued interest, and lastly to additional reduction of principal. Interest income is recognized on the notes only to the extent payments are received or amounts are offset against money owed to the Government.

Antigua-Barbuda Government Development Bonds 1994-1997 series amounting to $68,661 in 2003 were fully reserved for in 2004. The Company also has net trade receivables from various Government agencies of $9,372 and $116,053 in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

During 2003 and 2004, the Government of Antigua did not meet all of its payment obligations to the Company. However, in December 2004, the Company’s Antigua subsidiaries entered into an Agreement for Satisfaction of Indebtedness and Amendment No. 10 to St. John’s Dredging and Deep Water Pier Construction (the “Satisfaction Agreement”) with the government of Antigua and Barbuda (“Antigua”). Pursuant to the terms of the Satisfaction Agreement, AMP and Antigua agreed to a settlement in which approximately $29.0 million in debt owed by Antigua to AMP was deemed satisfied in exchange for certain cash payments made to those companies by Antigua, as well as the remittance of all outstanding tax assessments and other relief from current and future taxes and duties. At the time of settlement, the notes had a recorded book value of approximately $5.8 million. As a result of this Satisfaction Agreement and in exchange for the cancellation of the outstanding debt owed to AMP by Antigua, AMP received $11.5 million in cash; a commitment for an additional $987,500 of cash which was received in the first quarter of 2005, a $7.5 million credit toward future withholding taxes incurred by AMP or the Company, plus a waiver of all taxes and duties due and owing through December 31, 2004. The Company recognized $5.1 million of the future withholding tax benefit based on the current plans for repatriation of foreign-earnings. The Satisfaction Agreement also settled the litigation over a $6 million assessment issued with respect to the Company’s subsidiaries in Antigua, resulting in an income tax benefit of $0.7 million related to the reversal of accruals for uncertain tax positions.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates consisting of a 1.2 % equity interest in a real estate project in the Bahamas, see Note 16, a 33.3 % interest in a real estate company in Puerto Rico. At December 31, 2004, the Company had a 50% interest in a real estate project in South Florida. During 2005 the real estate project in South Florida sold the remaining property. The Company received proceeds of $368,000 and realized a gain on investment of $343,573. Equity earnings of $340,000, $71,300 and $107,162 were recognized in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, on ventures accounted for under the equity method.

Intangible assets and goodwill consists of the following as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

Amortization expense was $4.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003 respectively.

The table below presents the weighted average life in years of the Company’s intangible assets.

The table below reflects the estimated aggregate customer account amortization for each of the five succeeding years on the Company’s existing customer account base as of December 31, 2005.

On February 28, 2005, the Company, through Devcon Security Services Corporation, (“DSS”) a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of certain net assets of Starpoint Limited’s electronic security services operation (an entity controlled by Adelphia Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation) for approximately $40.2 million in cash based substantially upon contractually recurring monthly revenue of approximately $1.15 million. The transaction was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2005 as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Other than the Asset Purchase Agreement, there is no material relationship between the parties. The transaction received approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in an order issued on January 28, 2005.

The Company utilized $24.6 million of the $35.0 million available under a Credit Facility provided by CIT, as discussed in Note 8, Debt, to these consolidated financial statements, to satisfy a portion of the cash purchase price for the acquisition. The balance of the purchase price, including payment of $0.6 million of transaction costs, was satisfied by using cash on hand.

The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price allocation is based upon a report issued by an independent appraisal firm as to fair value. The purchase price, adjusted for certain non-performing contracts as well as certain working capital adjustments, has been recorded pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and appropriately allocated to each account set out below. Results included for the acquisition are for the period February 28, 2005 to December 31, 2005.

The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price allocation is based upon a report issued by an independent appraisal firm as to fair value. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price allocation may be adjusted for up to one year based on information which, if known at the date of acquisition would have effected the allocation. Additionally, under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, there can be adjustments to the purchase price, and thereby the allocation thereof, based on a post closing review of the final balance sheet and recurring monthly monitoring revenue of Coastal. Any adjustments, when determined, may change the following allocation.

The following table shows the condensed consolidated results of continuing operations of the Company, Starpoint Limited (the electronic security operations of Adelphia Communications) and Coastal, as though these acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of each year reported on:

In 2001, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit facility with a bank in the United States that provides for borrowings up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000, with interest charged at LIBOR plus 2.50 % and matures June 30, 2006. The bank can demand repayment of the loan and cancellation of the line of credit facility, if certain financial or other covenants are in default. The Company also maintains lines of credit with local banks in Sint Maarten and Antigua, $200,000 and $185,000, respectively. No amounts were outstanding under these lines of credit as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

On February 28, 2005, the Company, through Devcon Security Services Corp. (“DSS”), one of its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of certain net assets of the electronic security services operations of Adelphia Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation, for approximately $40.2 million in cash. DSS and its direct parent, Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“DSH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, financed this acquisition through available cash on hand and a $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility provided by certain lenders and CIT Financial USA, Inc., serving as agent.

On November 10, 2005, DSH entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the sellers of the issued and outstanding capital stock, and certain of Sellers’ representatives, of Coastal Security Company, (“Coastal”), pursuant to which Holdings agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coastal for approximately $50.4 million in cash. In order to obtain the necessary funds to complete to the stock purchase, DSH and DSS, (together the “Borrowers”), entered into a Credit Agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC, (as “Agent” and “Lender”), along with other lenders party to the Credit Agreement from time to time (“Lenders”) (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”). The facility with CapitalSource, which replaced the CIT facility, provided a three-year revolving credit facility in the maximum principal amount of $70,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds for permitted acquisitions, to refinance existing indebtedness, for the purchase and generation of alarm contracts, for the issuance of letters of credit and for other lawful purposes not prohibited by the Credit Agreement. In connection with the replacement of the CIT facility,

the Company expensed $0.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The Borrowers agreed to secure all of their obligations under the loan documents relating to the Credit Agreement by granting to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in and second priority perfected lien upon (1) substantially all of their existing and after-acquired personal and real property, and (2) all capital stock owned by each Borrower of each other Borrower. In addition, the Company pledged to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all of its capital stock of DSS. The interest rate on the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement is tied to the prime rate plus a margin as specified therein or, at the Borrowers’ option, to LIBOR plus a margin.

Also, on November 10, 2005 and in connection with the acquisition of Coastal, the Borrowers entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC, as lender (“CapitalSource”), providing for a 120-day bridge loan in the principal amount of $8,000,000 for the purchase and generation of alarm contracts, the acquisition of Coastal, and for other lawful purposes not prohibited by the Bridge Loan Agreement. The Borrowers agreed to secure all of their obligations under the loan documents relating to the Bridge Loan Agreement by granting to CapitalSource a security interest in and first priority perfected lien upon (1) substantially all of their existing and after-acquired personal and real property, and (2) all capital stock owned by each Borrower of each other Borrower. In addition, Devcon pledged to CapitalSource all of its capital stock of DSS as further security for the Borrowers’ obligations under the loan documents relating to the Bridge Loan Agreement. The interest rate on the outstanding obligations under the Bridge Loan Agreement is at the prime rate.

Also in connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Guaranty with CapitalSource, dated as of November 10, 2005 (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Company guaranteed the payment and performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Bridge Loan documents as well as all costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred or advanced by CapitalSource in any way in connection with the foregoing. In both the Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Borrowers provided Agent and Lenders (with respect to the Credit Agreement) and CapitalSource (with respect to the Bridge Loan Agreement) with indemnification for liabilities arising in connection with such agreements, representations and warranties, agreements and affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants as set forth in such agreements.

The Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. Events of default under the Credit Agreement, include but are not limited to: (a) failure to make principal or interest payments when due and such default continues for three business days, and failure to make payments to Agent for reimbursable expenses within ten business days of their request, (b) any representation or warranty proves incorrect in any material respect, (c) failure to observe obligations relating to cash management, negative covenants (including regarding mergers, investments, loans, indebtedness, guaranties, liens and sale of stock and assets) and financial covenants (regarding a leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, annual capital expenditure limitations and an attrition ratio of not greater than 11%), (d) defaults under the Bridge Loan Agreement, (e) a default or breach with respect to any indebtedness and certain guaranty obligations in excess of $300,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate, (f) certain events related to insolvency or the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and (g) any change of control, change of management or the occurrence of any material adverse effect, as further set forth in the Credit Agreement. Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan Agreement, CapitalSource, as Agent or Bridge Loan Lender, as the case may be, may avail itself of various remedies including, without limitation, suspending or terminating existing commitments to make advances or immediately demanding payment on outstanding loans, as well as other remedies available to it under law and equity. As of December 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit agreement and bridge loan.

The CapitalSource Revolving Facility contains a number of covenants imposing restrictions on our electronic security services division’s ability to, among other things:

Also, the notes contain a number of covenants imposing restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur more debt, create liens on assets or make payments with respect to existing debt

The CapitalSource Revolving Facility contains financial covenants that require the Company’s subsidiaries which comprise of the electronic security services division to meet a number of financial ratios and tests. Failure to comply with the obligations in the CapitalSource Revolving Facility or the notes could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of this indebtedness or of other indebtedness, allowing senior lenders to foreclose on the Company’s electronic security services assets. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $0.3 million of additional borrowing capacity available on the CapitalSource Revolving Facility.

The effective interest on all debt outstanding, excluding lines of credit, was 9.1% at December 31, 2005 and 5.2 % at December 31, 2004.

The total maturities of all debt subsequent to December 31, 2005 are as follows:

The Company adopted stock option plans for officers and employees in 1986, 1992 and 1999, and amended the 1999 plan in 2003. While each plan terminates 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination. Until 1996, 2002 and 2009, options to acquire up to 300,000, 350,000, and 600,000 shares, respectively, of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant.

The amendment of the 1999 stock option plan was approved at the shareholders’ meeting in June 2003. The amendment increased the number of available shares available for option grants from 350,000 to 600,000. The amended plan’s full text was filed with the Company’s proxy statement to the 2003 annual shareholders’ meeting.

All stock options granted pursuant to the 1986 Plan not already exercisable, vest and become fully exercisable (1) on the date the optionee reaches 65 years of age and for the six-month period thereafter or as otherwise modified by the Company’s Board of Directors, (2) on the date of permanent disability of the optionee and for the six-month period thereafter, (3) on the date of a change of control and for the six-month period thereafter, and (4) on the date of termination of the optionee from employment by the Company without cause and for the six-month period after termination. Stock options granted under the 1992 and 1999 Plan vest and become exercisable in varying terms and periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options issued under the 1992 and 1999 Plan expire after 10 years.

The Company adopted a stock-option plan for directors in 1992 that terminated in 2002. Options to acquire up to 50,000 shares of common stock were granted at no less than the fair-market value on the date of grant. The 1992 Directors’ Plan provides each director an initial grant of 8,000 shares and additional grants of 1,000 shares annually immediately subsequent to their reelection as a director. Stock options granted under the Directors’ Plan have 10-year terms, vest and become fully exercisable six months after the issue date. As the director’s plan was fully granted in 2000, the directors have received their annual options since then from the employee plans.

On July 30, 2004, the Company closed the transaction with Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”), which the Company entered into on April 2, 2004. The transaction received shareholder approval at the annual meeting on July 30, 2004. Coconut Palm purchased from the Company 2,000,000 units for a purchase price of $9.00 per unit.

Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of (i) 1 share of common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (ii) a warrant to purchase 1 share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share with a term of 3 years, (iii) a warrant to purchase 1/2 share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share with a term of 4 years and (iv) a warrant to purchase 1/2 share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share with a term of 5 years. Coconut Palm distributed 50 percent of the warrants to Messrs. Rochon, Ferrari, Ruzika and others for future services to the Company. Based on the value of the warrants the Company recorded a one-time compensation expense of $390,000 in the third quarter 2004.

Based on the number of shares that Coconut Palm purchased and the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on July 30, 2004, Coconut Palm acquired approximately 35.3 percent of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the closing of the Purchase Agreement. Coconut Palm will also be entitled, on a fully diluted basis, to acquire up to 57.6 percent of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding upon exercise of the warrants. In addition, two individuals designated by Coconut Palm, Richard C. Rochon and Mario B. Ferrari were elected to the Company’s board of directors.

In connection with the March 2006 issuance of $45,000,000 of term notes, the Company issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. This issuance of Warrants is further discussed in Note 25, Subsequent Events, to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The actual expense differs from the “expected” tax (benefit) expense computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to (loss) income before income taxes is as follows:

Significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities results from the tax effects of temporary difference:

In assessing the ability to realize a portion of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2005 was $9.9 million. The increase (decrease) in valuation allowance was $1.3 million, $(1.2) million and $1.1 million in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance primarily consisted of the addition of a $2.6 million valuation on the foreign tax credit created from the withholding taxes deemed paid and an increase of $1.4 million in valuation allowance due to a net increase in 2005 foreign net operating losses. These increases were offset in part by a reduction in the valuation allowance due to a reduction in prior year foreign net operating loss carry forward.

During 2005, the Corporation repatriated $20.4 million of previously un-remitted earnings from Antigua, of which $5.1 million was withheld for Antiguan withholding taxes, which were deemed paid by utilization of a portion of the $7.5 million tax credit received as part of an agreement with the Antiguan Government.

At December 31, 2005, approximately $27.6 million of foreign subsidiaries’ earnings have not been distributed. These earnings are considered permanently reinvested in the subsidiaries’ operations, unless the earnings can be repatriated in a tax-free or cash-flow neutral manner. Should the foreign subsidiaries distribute these earnings to the parent company or provide access to these earnings, taxes of approximately $9.4 million at the U.S. federal tax rate of 34%, net of foreign tax credits, may be incurred. At December 31, 2005, the Company had accumulated net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income in its Caribbean operations of about $19.5 million, which expire at various times through the year 2011. All tax loss carryforwards at December 31, 2005, consisted of net operating losses expiring from 2006 to 2011.

During 2005, the Company’s subsidiary, Virgin Islands Cement & Building Products, Inc. sold its materials business for $13.3 million. The net impact on the deferred asset was a reduction of the asset by $1.0 million. The tax on income, from discontinued operations including the gain, was $1.7 million. This was partially offset by a loss in continuing operations.

In November, 2005, the Company acquired Coastal Security Services, Inc. for $50.5 million in a stock purchase. In conjunction with the identification and valuation of finite lived assets under FAS 141, an additional deferred liability of $7.1 was established through the purchase accounting.

Combined financial information for the Company’s foreign Caribbean subsidiaries, except for those located in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, are summarized as follows:

The Company leases real property, buildings and equipment under operating leases that expire over periods of one to ten years. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

Total rent expense for property was $1,636,474, $1,716,825 and $1,796,518 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total operating lease and rental expense for vehicles and equipment was $2,747,793, $1,977,277 and $1,375,990 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The equipment leases are normally on a month-to-month basis. Some operating leases provide for contingent rentals or royalties based on related sales and production; contingent rent expense amounted to $ 16,274, $12,549 and $14,846 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Included in the above minimum lease commitments are royalty payments due to the owners of the Societe des Carrieres de Grand Case (SCGC) quarry. See Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies to these consolidated financial statements.

The Company received a rent holiday of five months and a leasehold incentive of $68,500 when the Company renewed the lease office location in Deerfield Beach, Florida starting January 1, 2004. The Company also received a leasehold incentive of $559,102 for the principal executive offices in Boca Raton, Florida. In addition, the Company has a prepaid rent balance of $100,000 for the executive offices. This will be utilized over the first ten months of 2006. Under SFAS No. 13, a deferred rent liability of $701,120 was recorded for these two leases. The leasehold improvements are being amortized through the end of the initial lease terms, excluding renewal periods, through May 2009 and August 2015 for Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton, respectively.

The Company is organized based on the products and services it provides. Under this organizational structure the Company has three reportable divisions: Construction, Materials and Security. The Construction division consists of land development and marine construction projects. The Materials division includes manufacturing and distribution of ready-mix concrete, concrete block, crushed aggregate and cement. The Electronic Security Services division provides installation, monitoring and maintenance of electronic security systems for commercial and residential customers. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Operating loss is revenue less operating expenses. In computing operating loss, the following items have not been added or deducted: interest expense, income tax expense, equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates, interest and other income and minority interest. The note receivable from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda is included in total assets, other. This note was paid off in 2005.

Additionally, the Company recorded a $1.0 million of loss on debt extinguished by the electronic security services division in 2005 as a result of refinancing the CIT facility.

Revenue by geographic area includes sales to unaffiliated customers based on customer location, not the selling entity’s location. The Company moves its equipment from country to country; therefore, to make this disclosure meaningful the geographic area separation for assets is based on the location of the legal entity owning the assets. One customer, the owner of the project in the Bahamas, account for $6.2 million, $10.4 million and $4.9 million of revenue in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, reported in the Construction segment.

The Company’s policies and codes provide that related party transactions be approved in advance by either the audit committee or a majority of disinterested directors.

The Company leases from the wife of Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr., a Director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a 1.8-acre parcel of real property in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This property is being used for our equipment logistics and maintenance activities. The property is subject to a 5-year lease entered into a January 2002 providing for rent of $95,000 per year. This rent was based on comparable rental contracts for similar properties in Deerfield Beach, as evaluated by management.

The Company has entered into various construction and payment deferral agreements with an entity which owns and manages a resort project in the Bahamas in which Mr. Donald L. Smith Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a prior Director of the Company and a subsidiary of the Company are minority partners owning 11.3 percent, 1.55 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively. Mr. Smith is also a member of the entity’s managing committee.

On June 6, 1991, the Company issued a promissory note in favor of Donald Smith, Jr., a Director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,070,000. The note provided that the balance due under the note was due on January 1, 2004, but this maturity date has been extended by agreement between Mr. Smith and the Company to October 1, 2006. The note is unsecured and bears interest at the prime rate. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, $1.7 million is outstanding under the note. The balance under the note becomes immediately due and payable upon a change of control. However, under the terms of a guarantee dated March 10, 2004, by and between the Company and Mr. Smith where Mr. Smith guarantees various notes receivable from Emerald Bay Resort amounting to $2.2 million, Mr. Smith must maintain collateral in the amount of $1.8 million. The note defines a “change of control” as the acquisition or other beneficial ownership, the commencement of an offer to acquire beneficial ownership, or the filing of a Schedule 13D or 13G with the SEC indicating an intention to acquire beneficial ownership, by any person or group, other than Mr. Smith and members of his family, of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company owns a 50% interest in ZSC South, a joint venture, which is in the process of being liquidated. Mr. W. Douglas Pitts, a director, owns a 5% interest in the joint venture. Courtelis Company manages the joint venture’s operations and Mr. Pitts is the President of Courtelis Company. In the third quarter of 2005, the joint venture sold its last remaining parcel of land and the Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million.

allocation of the assets of the company purchased was based on fair value and included $70,000 of working capital, $306,000 of property, plant and equipment, $2.6 million of customer contracts, $356,000 of deferred tax assets and $1.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles. The Company assumed $277,000 of deferred revenue liability. The Company paid the purchase price with a combination of $2.5 million in cash and 214,356 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, on October 5, 2005, 13,718 shares were issued upon finalization of the purchase price adjustments.

Mr. James R. Cast, a former director, through his tax and consulting practice, has provided services to us for more than ten years. The Company paid Mr. Cast $59,400 and $59,400 for consulting services provided to the Company in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, Mr. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors in January 2006. Before resigning, the Company entered into an agreement for tax and consulting services to be performed during 2006 for a specified number of consulting hours and for the total amount of $75,000.

The Company has entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Richard Hornsby, former Senior Vice President and director. He retired from the company at the end of 2004. During 2005 he received his full salary. From 2006 he will receive annual payments of $32,000 for life. During 2003, the Company recorded an expense of $232,000 for services rendered; this amount was paid out in 2005. The Company expensed the net present value of the obligation to pay Mr. Hornsby $32,000 annually for life, over his estimated remaining service period at the Company, during 2004. The net present value of the future obligation is estimated at $337,596 at December 31, 2005.

On August 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2005 (the “Management Agreement”), with Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP (“Royal Palm”), to provide management services. Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP is an affiliate of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”) with whom the Company completed a transaction on June 30, 2004, whereby Coconut Palm invested $18 million into the Company for purposes of the Company entering into the electronic security services industry. Richard Rochon and Mario Ferrari, two of the Company’s directors, are principals of Coconut Palm and Royal Palm. Robert Farenhem is a principal of Royal Palm and was the Company’s interim CFO from April 2005 until December 2005.

The management services to be provided include, among other things, assisting the Company with, among other matters, establishing certain office, accounting and administrative procedures, obtaining financing relating to business operations and acquisitions, developing and implementing advertising, promotional and marketing programs, facilitating certain securities matters (both proposed offerings and ongoing compliance issues) and future acquisitions and dispositions, developing tax planning strategies, and formulating risk management policies. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Royal Palm a management fee in the amount of $30,000 per month. In connection with this agreement, the Company incurred $274,702 during the year ended December 31, 2005.

On January 23, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Donald L. Smith, Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, under the terms of which the Company agreed to sell to Mr. Smith all of the issued and outstanding shares of two of our subsidiaries, Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd., an Antigua corporation, or AMP, and M21 Industries, Inc., which subsidiaries collectively comprise the operations of the Company’s materials division in Antigua, for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately $5 million, subject to adjustments provided in the stock purchase agreement. The stock purchase agreement permitted $1,725,000 of the purchase price to be paid by cancellation of a note payable by the Company to Mr. Smith. The Company retained the right to review other offers to purchase these Antigua operations. The parties to the stock purchase agreement elected to exercise their right to negotiate the sale of the Company’s materials division in Antigua with a third party. As a result, on March 2, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with A. Hadeed or his nominee and Gary O’Rourke and terminated the stock purchase agreement entered into with Mr. Smith on January 23, 2006. The terms of the new stock purchase agreement provided for a purchase price equal to approximately $5.1 million, subject to adjustments provided in the stock purchase agreement. The entire purchase price was contemplated to be paid entirely in cash as opposed to the partial payment through surrender of the $1,725,000 note the Company had previously issued to Mr. Smith. In addition, the terms of the new stock purchase agreement excluded M21 Industries, Inc. from the sale but contemplated transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to Devcon as well as the pre-closing transfer to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by Devcon. The purchaser has agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the transaction. The Company completed the sale of its materials division in Antigua on May 2, 2006.

The Company sponsors various 401(k) plans for some employees over the age of 21 who have completed a minimum number of months of employment. The Company matches employee contributions between 3.0% and 4.0% of an employee’s salary. Company contributions totaled $267,499, $173,994 and $133,872 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets under the following captions:

During the second quarter 2002, the Company issued a construction contract performance guarantee together with one of the Company’s customers, Northshore Partners, Inc., (“Northshore”), in favor of Estate Plessen Associates L.P. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, for $5.1 million. Northshore Partners was an important customer on St. Croix and the construction contract that Northshore Partners had with Estate Plessen Associate L.P. had requirements for the Company’s construction materials. The Company provided a letter of credit for $500,000 as collateral for its performance guarantee. The construction project was finished in September 2003 and the performance guarantee expired, without a claim being made, in 2005. The Company received an up front fee of $154,000, recognition of which was deferred until expiration of the guarantee and determination that the Company had no contingent liability. Such determination was made and the $154,000 fee was recognized in the third quarter of 2005.

In May 2004, the Company advised Petit that it would possibly be removing its equipment within the timeframes provided in its agreements and made a partial quarterly payment under the materials supply agreement. On June 3, 2004, Petit advised the Company in writing that Petit was terminating the materials supply agreement immediately because Petit had not received the full quarterly payment and also advised that it would not renew the 1999 lease when it expired on October 27, 2004. Petit has refused to accept the remainder of the quarterly payment from the Company in the amount of $45,000.

Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets has been impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit alleged that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by the Company if the contract continued for the entire potential term and the Company continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by the Company on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and the Company entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

The Company is subject to certain Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with all such laws and regulations except for certain violations of regulations governing the exploitation of our quarry in Saint Martin. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company received a Statement of Observations resulting from a site examination on September 23, 2005. The site examination was conducted by Drire, the Saint Martin agency charged with the responsibility of enforcing regulations governing the exploitation of quarries. The Company is in the process of addressing the items identified in the Statement of Observations, none of which are anticipated to have a material adverse effect upon the Company. Compliance with environmental protection laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the past and is not expected to have a material adverse effect in the foreseeable future.

The Company’s Senior Loan provided by CIT issued in February 2005 was refinanced in November 2005. Accordingly, with its repayment, a non-recourse performance guarantee secured by the Company’s stock in DSH was released.

In connection with the CIT Senior Loan repayment, and financing the acquisition of Coastal Security Services in November 2005, the Company entered into a $70 million revolving credit agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC replacing in full the CIT facility. The specific terms of the CapitalSource revolving credit facility are more specifically described in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements. The Company has signed a non-recourse performance guarantee with CapitalSource and pledged, as collateral, the Company’s stock in DSH. Subsequently, in connection with the March 2006 acquisition of Guardian, the Company increased the facility with CapitalSource to $100 million.

For the construction and materials divisions, the Company’s customer base is primarily located in the Caribbean with the most substantial credit concentration within the Construction division. Typically, customers within this division engage the company to develop large marinas, resorts and other site improvements and consequently, make up a larger percentage of total sales.

For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the company reported revenue for one Bahamian customer of 7.3%, 15.3% and 8.8% of total revenue respectively. As of December 31, 2005, the ongoing project for the abovementioned customer had backlog of $0.3 million. A subsidiary and one of the Company’s directors are minority owners of and the director is a member of the managing committee of the entity developing this project.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had receivables from the customer mentioned above that represented 26% of consolidated receivables. The total receivable balance from this customer is made up of $4.2 million related to the construction project in the Bahamas . Of this balance, $0.8 million is retention. Other receivables for the same client related to the Company’s DevMat Joint Venture total $0.3 million. All receivables for this customer are current accounts receivables. For the period ended December 31, 2005, there were no receivables from a single customer that represented more than 10% of total receivables with the exception of the customer mentioned above. As of December 31, 2004, the total receivable from another customer was $3.7 million consisting of $0.9 million of current accounts receivable and $2.8 million of notes receivable. Although receivables are generally not collateralized, the Company may place liens or their equivalent in the event of nonpayment. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers as determined by specific events or circumstances and by applying a percentage to the receivables within a specific aging category.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, one customer in the construction division made up 27.7% of total sales for the construction division. This customer is building a marina on the island of Chub Cay, in the Bahamas.

No single customer within the Materials or the Securities division accounted for more than 10% of total sales. For the security division, the Company’s customer base is concentrated in Florida and New York, New York.

The Company has separate union agreements with its employees on St. Thomas, St. Croix and Antigua. The agreement for Antigua was renewed and will expire in November 2006. The agreement for St. Thomas was renewed in 2003. This agreement and the one for St. Croix will expire in March 2006. In the past, there have been no labor conflicts.

Management believes that the Company’s ability to produce its own sand and stone gives it a competitive advantage because of the substantial investment required to produce sand and stone, the difficulty in obtaining the necessary environmental permits to establish quarries, and the moratorium on mining beach sand imposed by most Caribbean countries. If the Company is unable to produce its own sand and stone, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows could be adversely affected.

The Company provides, to certain employees, defined retirement and severance benefits. Accrued benefits which arise in accordance with this requirement are based upon periodic actuarial valuations which use the projected unit credit method for calculation and are charged to the consolidated statements of income in a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current employees who are eligible to receive the required benefits. The net expense with respect to certain of these required benefits is assessed in accordance with the advice of professional qualified actuaries. The net expense included in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $1.2 million, $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The actuarial present value of the accumulated benefits at December 31, 2005 and 2004 with respect to these accrued benefits, was $5.0 million.

The obligations which arise under these plans are not governed by any regulatory agency and there is no requirement to fund the obligations and accordingly the Company has not done so. Obligations which are payable to employees upon retirement or separation with the Company are paid from cash on hand at the time of retirement or separation in accordance with the terms of the respective plans.

The following sets forth the estimated cash requirement to be paid out to eligible employees for the next five years:

An analysis of the various construction contracts, quarry and material aggregate sites as well as the operations of the DevMat Joint Venture determined that for purposes of compliance with SFAS No. 144, the Company had five identifiable cash flow operating units for which an impairment analysis should be prepared. Those operating cash flow units and the impairment charge for each are shown below.

The Quarry, aggregate and concrete block operations on the Island of St. Martin have closely related operational management and heavily integrated interdependence for the manufacture of concrete and block. A discounted forecast of future operating cash flows for the St. Martin operations resulted in an impairment charge of $1.8 million. The operations have historically generated losses and breakeven to negative net cash flows after required capital expenditures to maintain the assets. The ability to generate revenues and resulting value of the assets for the St. Martin operations is largely controlled by the island economy of St. Martin and fair market value for the long-lived assets sold individually was considered but did not identify a value greater than the forecast of cash flows. The future depreciable life of the St. Martin assets was determined as unchanged from historic rates.

The Construction operations consist of an existing back log of construction projects combined with a forecast of projects which are under various states of preparing bids and expected start dates. The preparation of bids, budgeting, equipment management and contract administration is performed centrally at the Company’s

Construction offices in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Accordingly, an appropriate amount of administrative overheads were identified and charged to the gross margin forecasted for the construction projects. After review of the forecasted discounted cash flows, an impairment charge of $1.1 million was determined from a discounted forecast of future operating cash flows for the Construction operations. The future depreciable life of the Construction operation assets was determined as unchanged from historic rates.

The Quarry and aggregate operations in Puerto Rico are 50% owned by the Company and were operated under a lease which was due to expire in March 2006. Negotiations on the lease with the landlord were in process at December 31, 2005. Additionally, during the 3^rd quarter of 2005, sales for Puerto Rico were negatively impacted by the loss of a major customer. During January 2006 negotiations for extension of the lease, one of the 25% owners of the operations proposed to purchase substantially all of the operating assets of the operations including responsibility to refurbish the quarry site upon conclusion of the lease. The buyer’s offer was contingent upon successful negotiation of a lease extension. The Company had been considering a plan for possible abandonment of the operations when negotiations for the lease extension and efforts to obtain replacement customers in the fourth quarter of 2005 had failed to reach a successful conclusion. On March 30, 2006 the buyer and the Company reached agreement on all material terms of the sale and the lease extension was materially agreed upon between the buyer and the landlord. The Company continues to sell previously crushed aggregate with an expected sale date in April 2006. As a result the Company compared the plan for abandonment with the buyer’s proposal resulting in an impairment of $1.0 million as determined by net proceeds from sale of the operations in Puerto Rico. The terms of the sale are more specifically described in Note 25, Subsequent Events, to these consolidated financial statements.

The DevMat operations consist of stationary and portable processing equipment which provides desalination and sewage treatment services. The operations are 80% owned by the Company. After developing a probability forecast of the revenues and expenses of the DevMat operations, the Company determined that there was an impairment of $135,000 on DevMat’s long-lived assets. The Company further determined that the useful life expected for the long-lived assets was approximately five years from December 31, 2005 after considering a reasonable amount of capital expenditures projected to maintain the assets during the reduced useful life.

In accordance with its policy, the Company recorded charges for impairment losses in the Materials Division in 2004 and 2003 of approximately $0.6 million and $2.9 million respectively.

In December 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge based upon a review of leasehold improvements on three of its quarry sites. It was determined that the aggregate material, included within these quarry bases, was no longer providing a future benefit to the Company’s extraction operations and, accordingly, a $0.6 million charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004.

In the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $2.9 million. This consisted of the following items:

The St. Martin/Sint Maarten operations were determined to be impaired due to continuing losses. The Company could not project sufficient future earnings to cover the long-lived assets. An impairment charge of $2.1 million was recorded to write down the St. Martin crusher and concrete plant to their estimated fair value, using an estimated probable sales price as determinant of the value. The Sint Maarten concrete and aggregate sales operations have an estimated fair value in excess of recorded long-lived assets, and therefore no impairment was recorded for this part of the business. The Sint Maarten block plant was impaired, using an estimated probable sales price for parts of the plant as determinant of the value, and an operational decision has been made to close the plant and dismantle it. The Company is currently importing all of its concrete for blocks.

The plant in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, is leased to a third party, whose extraction permit was cancelled in February 2003. In April 2003, the lessee asked for a moratorium on payments, at the same time as he gave notice of the extraction permit being cancelled. As a result of these actions, management’s expectation of future cash flows and the fact that the only source of revenue for the plant has come from the lessee, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $438,000 to write down the plant to its estimated fair value, using an estimated probable sales price as determinant of the value. In September 2003, the third party received its extraction permit and restarted aggregates processing operations and paying the lease.

Other assets, dredge equipment, asphalt plant, batch plant, generators, and other assets, not in use in Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Kitts and other islands were written down to net realizable value with impairment charges of $70,000 in 2003.

On September 30, 2005, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, V.I. Cement & Building Products, Inc. completed the sale of its U.S. Virgin Islands material operations to Heavy Materials, LLC, a U.S. Virgin Islands limited liability company and private investor group (“Purchaser”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 15, 2005, for $10.7 million in cash plus the issuance of a promissory note (the “Note”) to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $2.6 million. The Note has a term of three years bearing interest at 5% per annum with only interest being paid quarterly in arrears during the first 12 months and principal and accrued interest being paid quarterly (principal being paid in 8 equal quarterly installments) for the remainder of the term of the Note until the maturity date. The cash proceeds, net of closing costs, totaling $10.4 million was received in October 2005. The first two quarterly payments due December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 were received by the Company.

The accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for all the years presented have been adjusted to classify the U.S Virgin Islands material operations as discontinued operations. Selected statement of operations data for the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows:

A summary of the total assets of discontinued operations included in Other Current Assets is as follows:

Acquisition of Guardian/Private Placement of Notes and Warrants. On March 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2005, between the Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Guardian in which the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an estimated aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $65.5 million. This purchase price consisted of (i) approximately $23.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, (ii) approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem two series of Guardian’s preferred stock, (iii) approximately $13.3 million used to assume and pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and (iv) approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase price, approximately $3.3 million, has been placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon recurring monthly revenue and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian’s common shareholders are expected to receive a pro rata distribution from the escrowed amount approximately six months after the closing. The merger was approved by shareholders of Guardian on February 24, 2006.

In addition, in order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, on March 6, 2006, the Company issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. The Company also increased the amount of cash available under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan.

The notes accrue interest at 8% per annum and mature the earlier of July 31, 2005 or the date the Company obtains shareholder approval for issuance of the Preferred shares discussed below. Additionally, the interest is payable at maturity

which is expected to be on or before July 31, 2006, but not later than January 1, 2007. The allowable circumstances for the maturity date to extend beyond July 31, 2006 to a date prior to January 1, 2007 must arise from the time possibly needed for the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete its review, of an information statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and ultimately delivered by us to our shareholders in connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company anticipates that under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, to be issued by us with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share (the original purchase price per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends per share, and convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share of common stock. This conversion price and the exercise price of the Warrants issued with the notes are and will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Warrants could also cause the issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, for various reasons related to the potential issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock, the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of the Company’s common stock approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock and the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, however, this approval will not be effective and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not be issued until the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders have been satisfied. The Company anticipates that the sale of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will take place on or before July 31, 2006, but not later than January 1, 2007.

Resignation and Replacement of Independent Director. On January 23, 2006, Mr. James R. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Cast was an independent director, as defined by Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c) requiring a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors to be Independent, , Nasdaq notified the Company it had until the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting or January 23, 2007 to replace the independent director position or face delisting. On February 15, 2006, Mr. P. Rodney Cunningham was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company has since been notified that Mr. Cunningham meets Nasdaq’s rules for independence thereby removing the delisting notice deadline.

Divestiture of Antigua Operations. On March 2, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed or his nominee and Gary O’Rourke, under which we completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP. In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to EC 1,436,485 (US $532,032) as of the date of the sale (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) are outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such Preferred Shares are reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such Preferred Shares, which represents an aggregate amount slightly in excess of $500,000. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. This purchase price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to us, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by us. The purchasers have agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the sale.

Divestiture of Joint Venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company (“PRCC”), On March 30, 2006, the Company reached an advanced stage of discussions on a sale agreement whereby Mr. Jose Criado, through a company controlled by Mr. Criado, would purchase the fixed assets and substantially all of the inventory of PRCC as well as assume substantially all employee related severance costs and liabilities arising from the lease agreement (including reclamation and leveling) for the quarry land for a purchase price of $700,000 in cash and a two-year 5% note in an amount equal to the value of inventory as of the closing date. If the negotiations are successful, the Company expects to complete the divestiture before the end of April 2006. The anticipated net proceeds from the sale will approximate the net book value of the related assets after giving effect to the impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million recorded by the Company on the long-lived assets of PRCC at December 31, 2005. See additional discussion of impairment in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.

Independent to and prior to the Company reaching material agreement on the terms of the sale of PRCC’s assets to Mr. Criado, the Company had performed an analysis of PRCC Long-Lived assets for possible impairment in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and SFAS No. 144, Impairment of Long Lived Assets. The events which caused the Company to prepare the Impairment analysis were the change of control of a major customer of PRCC, causing reduced revenue in the second half of 2005; the inability to obtain sufficient new revenue by December 31, 2005 to generate positive cash flows; and the January 15, 2006 termination of a November 28, 2005 Letter of Intent to sell materially all the assets of the Company’s remaining construction division, materials division and DevMat assets. More detailed information on the Impairment analysis is included in Note 22, Impairment of Long-Lived assets, included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company at December 31, 2005. The resulting impairment charge related to PRCC’s assets was $1.0 million.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

We have had no changes in or disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm on accounting and financial disclosure.

The Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, who is also acting as the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation examined the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2005, the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of December 31, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, LLP (“KPMG”), communicated to the Company’s management and Audit Committee that certain matters involving the Company’s internal controls were considered to be “material weaknesses”, as defined under the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. These matters pertained to (i) inadequate polices and procedures with respect to review and oversight of financial results to ensure that accurate consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed on a timely basis, (ii) inadequate number of individuals with US GAAP experience and (iii) inadequate review of account reconciliations, analyses and journal entries.

In light of the material weaknesses described above, the Company performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure the Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who has also been acting as the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, are attached as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The disclosures set forth in this Item 9A contain information concerning the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting, referred to in paragraph 4 of the certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 9A for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

The Company is committed to continuously improving its internal controls and financial reporting. From July 2004 to June 2005, the Company worked with consultants with experience in internal controls to assist management and the Audit Committee in reviewing the Company’s current internal controls structure with a view towards meeting the formalized requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In order to remediate the significant deficiencies and material weaknesses described above, the Company’s management and its Audit Committee have taken the following steps:

The Company will issue an update on its efforts to strengthen its internal control processes when the Company reports its first quarter results.

The Company believes the above measures have reduced the risks associated with the matters identified by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as material weaknesses. This process is ongoing, however, and the Company’s management and its Audit Committee will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures on a continual basis and will take further action as appropriate.

The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure or internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board of Directors and Other Corporate Governance Matters

We operate within a comprehensive plan of corporate governance for the purpose of defining responsibilities, setting high standards of professional and personal conduct and assuring compliance with such responsibilities and standards. We regularly monitor developments in the area of corporate governance. In July 2002, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which, among other things, establishes, or provides the basis for, a number of new corporate governance standards and disclosure requirements. In addition, Nasdaq has enacted changes to its corporate governance and listing requirements which changes have been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In response to these actions, our board of directors has initiated the below actions consistent with certain of the proposed rules.

A majority of the members of our board of directors is independent according to the new Nasdaq Corporate Governance rules. In particular, our board of directors has in the past evaluated, and our nominating committee will in the future evaluate, periodically the independence of each member of the board of directors.

The committee or board analyzes whether a director is independent by evaluating, among other factors, the following:

The above list is not exhaustive and the committee considers all other factors which could assist it in its determination that a director has no material relationship with us that could compromise that director’s independence.

As a result of this review, our board of directors affirmatively determined that W. Douglas Pitts, Gustavo R. Benejam, Per-Olof Lööf, Donald K. Karnes and Rodney Cunningham are independent of Devcon and our management under the standards set forth above. Donald L. Smith, Jr. and Richard L. Hornsby are considered inside directors because of their past employment as our senior executives. Richard C. Rochon and Mario B. Ferrari are considered non-independent outside directors because of their relationship with Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd., an entity that made an $18 million investment in us in June 2004 and received beneficial ownership of approximately 37% of our shares of common stock as of such date (approximately 59.95% of our shares of common stock as of March 31, 2006) as a consequence. As a result of this analysis Messrs. Smith, Hornsby, Rochon and Ferrari are precluded from sitting on our audit committee. Mr. Pitts was determined to be independent in accordance with the Nasdaq rules and regulations concerning independence and in accordance with the independence rules and regulations enacted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for membership on our audit committee notwithstanding he is President of Courtelis Company, a company that manages the operations of ZSC South, a joint venture in which Devcon owns a 50% interest and which is in the process of being liquidated, and notwithstanding that Mr. Pitts himself owns a 5% interest in ZSC South. Mr. Pitts was determined to be independent due to the fact that he does not own a controlling equity interest in Courtelis Company and he receives no fees from Devcon as a result of these relationships.

Our non-management directors hold meetings, separate from management, and intend to continue holding such meetings at least once a year.

We pay each of our directors an annual retainer for board service of $9,000, except for our former Chairman, Donald L. Smith, Jr., who was paid a prorated share of $35,000. Members of our audit committee receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000 in June, except for the chairman of that committee whose additional annual retainer equals $7,500. Compensation committee and nominating committee members receive an additional $1,000 annual retainer, except for the chairman of each of these committees who receives an additional $3,000 annual retainer. Non-employee directors also receive attendance fees in an amount equal to $500 per in-person meeting and $250 per telephonic meeting attended by such directors. Amounts paid to our directors, including the chairmen of the committees of the board of directors may be increased by action of the board.

A new non-employee director will be granted an option to purchase 8,000 shares of our common stock upon the commencement of service as a director from a stock option plan then in effect. In addition, each non-employee director will be granted options to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock after each of our annual meetings as well as a grant of 500 shares of our common stock annually. Options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing market price on the day preceding the grant date. Currently, only 5,000 shares are available for grant under our 1999 stock option plan. Accordingly certain of these options have not yet been granted to our directors.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, our board of directors held nine meetings and took four actions by unanimous written consent. During 2005, except for Per-Olof Lööf, no incumbent director attended fewer than 75 percent of the aggregate of (i) the number of meetings of our board of directors held during the period he served on the board and (ii) the number of meetings of committees of the board held during the period he served on such committees. Our board of directors has three standing committees — the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating committee.

Our audit committee is comprised of three non-employee members of our board of directors. After reviewing the qualifications of the current members of our audit committee, and any relationships they may have with us that might affect their independence from us, our board of directors has determined that:

Messrs. Pitts, Lööf and Benejam are members of our audit committee. The audit committee held 5 meetings and took no actions by unanimous written consent during 2005. The duties and responsibilities of our audit committee include (a) monitoring the integrity of our financial reporting process and systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal and regulatory compliance, (b) monitoring the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our internal audit functions, (c) providing an avenue of communication among our independent registered public accounting firm and management, (d) having the sole authority to appoint, determine funding for, and oversee our outside auditors. The audit committee has amended its charter to conform to the final corporate governance rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq concerning audit committees. This amended charter was filed with our proxy statement for the year ended December 31, 2003, dated June 12,

2004, and is available on our website at www.devc.com. A copy of this charter may be obtained for no cost upon request from our Corporate Secretary. Our internet website and the information contained in it are not incorporated into this annual report.

KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, reports directly to the audit committee. Any allowable work to be performed by KPMG LLP outside of the scope of the regular audit is pre-approved by the audit committee. The audit committee will not approve any work to be performed that is in violation to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The audit committee, consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted thereunder, meets with management and our independent registered public accounting firm prior to the filing of officers’ certifications with the SEC to receive information concerning, among other things, significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls.

The audit committee has through the Code of Ethical Conduct enabled confidential and anonymous reporting of improper activities directly to the audit committee.

Messrs. Pitts, Lööf and Karnes are members of our compensation committee. Mr. Cast was a member of the committee until his resignation on January 23, 2006. Mr. Karnes became a member in April 2006. The compensation committee held 3 meetings and took one action by unanimous written consent during 2005. This committee administers the 1992 and 1999 stock option plans and has the power and authority to (a) determine the persons to be awarded options and the terms thereof and (b) construe and interpret the 1992 and 1999 stock option plans. This committee is also responsible for the final review and determination of executive compensation.

All members of the compensation committee are considered independent under Nasdaq’s independence rules. This committee is governed by a charter which is available on our website at www.devc.com. A copy of this charter may be obtained for no cost upon request from our Corporate Secretary. Our internet website and the information contained in it are not incorporated into this proxy statement.

Messrs. Benejam, Cunningham and Karnes are the members of our nominating committee. Mr. Cast was a member of our nominating committee until his resignation on January 23, 2006. Messrs. Cunningham and Karnes became members in April 2006. The nominating committee held no meetings and took one action by unanimous written consent during 2005. The purpose of this committee is to define the basic responsibilities and qualifications of individuals nominated and elected to serve as members of our board of directors, to identify and nominate individuals qualified to become directors in accordance with these policies and guidelines and to oversee the selection and composition of committees of our board of directors. The nominating committee is governed by a charter adopted by our board of directors. This charter is available on our website at www.devc.com.

The nominating committee considers candidates for board membership suggested by its members and other board members, as well as management and shareholders. This committee also has the sole authority to retain and to terminate any search firm to be used to assist in identifying candidates to serve as trustees from time to time. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a prospective nominee for the board should notify our Corporate Secretary or any member of our nominating committee in writing with whatever supporting material the shareholder considers appropriate. The nominating committee also considers whether to nominate any person nominated by a shareholder under the provisions of our bylaws relating to shareholder nominations as described in the section entitled “Information Concerning Shareholder Proposals” in our proxy statement. The nominating committee does not solicit director nominations.

Once the nominating committee has identified a prospective nominee, the committee makes an initial determination as to whether to conduct a full evaluation of the candidate. This initial determination is based on the information provided to the committee with the recommendation of the prospective candidate, as well as the committee’s own knowledge of the prospective candidate, which may be supplemented by inquiries to the person making the recommendation or others. The preliminary determination is based primarily on the need for additional board members to fill vacancies or expand the size of our board and the likelihood that the prospective nominee can satisfy the evaluation factors described below. If the committee determines, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and other board members as appropriate, that additional consideration is warranted, it may request a third-party search firm to gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience and to report its findings to the committee. The committee then evaluates the prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set out by the nominating committee for board membership.

The committee will also consider other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the board, the balance of management and independent trustees, the need for audit committee expertise and the evaluations of other prospective nominees. In connection with this evaluation, the committee will determine whether to interview the prospective nominee, and if warranted, one or more members of the committee, and others as appropriate, will interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and interview, the committee will make a recommendation to the full board as to the persons who should be nominated by the board, and the board will determine the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the committee.

While there are no formal procedures for shareholders to recommend nominations beyond those set forth in the section entitled “Information Concerning Shareholder Proposals” in our proxy statement, our board of directors will consider shareholder recommendations. These recommendations should be addressed to the Chairman of our nominating committee who will submit these nominations to the independent members of our board of directors for review.

All members of our nominating committee are considered independent under Nasdaq’s independence rules. This committee is governed by a charter which is available on our website at www.devc.com. A copy of this charter may be obtained for no cost upon request from our Corporate Secretary. Our internet website and the information contained in it are not incorporated into this proxy statement.

We have adopted a Code of Ethical Conduct that includes provisions ranging from restrictions on gifts to conflicts of interest. All employees are bound by this Code of Ethical Conduct, violations of which may be reported to the audit committee. The Code of Ethical Conduct includes provisions applicable to our senior executive officers consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Code of Ethical Conduct is available on our website www.devc.com. We intend to post on our website amendments to or waivers from our Code of Ethical Conduct. We will provide a copy of this Code of Ethical Conduct to any person without charge upon written request made by such person addressed to our Corporate Secretary at Devcon International Corp., 595 S. Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida, 33432.

We comply with and will operate in a manner consistent with legislation prohibiting extensions of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for our directors and executive officers. For information on arrangements we currently have in place, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.

We have no formal policy regarding attendance by our directors at annual shareholders meetings, although most of our directors have historically attended those meetings. Except for Per-Olof Lööf, all of our directors attended the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Anyone who has a concern about Devcon’s conduct, including accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters, may communicate directly with the Chairman of our board of directors, our non-management directors or the audit committee. Such communications may be confidential or anonymous, and may be e-mailed, submitted in writing or reported by phone to special addresses and a toll-free phone number that will be published on our website at www.devc.com. All such concerns will be forwarded to the appropriate directors for their review, and will be simultaneously reviewed and addressed by our chief financial officer in the same way that other concerns are addressed by us. Our Code of Ethical Conduct prohibits any employee from retaliating or taking any adverse action against anyone for raising or helping to resolve an integrity concern.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Officers, directors and greater than 10 percent shareholders are required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of these reports furnished to us and representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of Donald Karnes’ Form 3 filing which was four days late due to the impact of Hurricane Wilma.

The following table sets forth, for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the aggregate compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to: (i) Donald L.

Smith, Jr. and Mr. Kevin Smith have been accrued in the years indicated and will be paid out over time.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning aggregate option exercises in the last fiscal year.

In June 2000, we entered into an amended Life Insurance and Salary Continuation Agreement with Donald L. Smith, Jr., our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Smith shall receive a retirement benefit upon the sooner of his retirement from his position after March 31, 2003, or a change in control of Devcon. Benefits to be received shall equal 75 percent of his base salary and shall continue for the remainder of his life. In the event that a spouse survives him, then the surviving spouse shall receive a benefit equal to 100 percent of his base salary for the shorter of five years or the remainder of the surviving spouse’s life. Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr. retired during the year and as such we recognized the net present value of the retirement obligation based on Mr. Smith’s then current salary of $338,400 per annum.

In June 2001, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Kevin M. Smith and Donald L. Smith, III. The term of the agreements are for one year, annually renewable for additional equivalent terms. The agreements stipulate an annual base salary with merit increases and bonuses as determined by the Compensation Committee. If the agreement is terminated by us without cause or terminated by the employee for “Good Reason”, which includes assignment of duties inconsistent with the executive’s position, then we will pay one year’s salary in severance. If we have a change in control, which includes a change of the majority of our board of directors not approved by the incumbent board, or members of Donald L. Smith, Jr.’s family controlling less than 20% of our shares, we will pay two years annual compensation upon termination of the agreement by either party. We will reimburse the employee any excise tax payable by the employee. Under certain conditions, during employment and for a period of 2 years after termination, the employee shall not compete with our business. Additionally, subsequent to the year end, we exercised our option to not renew Mr. Donald Smith III’s contract on its current terms.

During June 2005, we entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), with Mr. Kevin Smith (“Mr. K. Smith”) which became effective on June 15, 2005 and outlines the terms of his separation from the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. K. Smith’s Employment Agreement, which was effective June 11, 2001, with the Company would terminate as of June 17, 2005. Mr. K. Smith would be paid an amount equal to $220,100, less any amounts due to him under the Employment Agreement from June 1, 2005 through the date of termination. This payment would be paid on a bi-weekly basis consistent with the Company’s current payroll procedures through August 31, 2006. Mr. K. Smith will also be entitled to receive benefits or, if such benefits cannot continue during such severance period,

the cash equivalent of the current cost to the Company for providing such benefits. The vesting of 18,420 unvested stock options owned by Mr. K. Smith accelerated and all of such options became exercisable as of June 7, 2005. The terms of the Separation Agreement require Mr. K. Smith to respond to and answer questions or other inquiries from the Company and advise the Company as reasonably requested at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice for no additional compensation until such time as the final payment is made under the Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement includes a release by each of the Company and Mr. K. Smith of claims that either party may have against the other in respect of Mr. K. Smith’s employment or the termination of such employment, as well as covenants relating to non-solicitation of employees by Mr. K. Smith, protection of the Company’s proprietary and confidential information, non-disparagement by Mr. K. Smith and other matters. The Company took a charge of $394,700.65 in connection with the Separation Agreement in the second quarter of 2005.

In June 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ruzika, effective April 2, 2004. Under the terms of Mr. Ruzika’s employment agreement, we will pay Mr. Ruzika an annual salary equal to $325,000 plus any bonuses which the compensation committee of our board of directors determines to pay him in its sole discretion. In addition to this salary, Mr. Ruzika is entitled to participate in any bonus plan, incentive compensation program or incentive stock option plan or other employee benefits we provide to our other similarly situated executives, on the terms and at the level of participation determined by our compensation committee. In addition, Mr. Ruzika was granted 50,000 options with an exercise price of $9.00 per share upon the effectiveness of the employment agreement. Any options granted under these plans will vest in equal annual installments from the time of grant until the expiration date under the employment agreement. The employment agreement has a term of three years; however, this term may be further extended by the parties in writing in a separate instrument. Either we or Mr. Ruzika may terminate the employment agreement for any reason upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other. However, if we terminate the agreement (which includes failing to renew the agreement after the initial three years) without cause, Mr. Ruzika terminates the agreement with cause or Mr. Ruzika fails to renew the agreement, we are required to pay Mr. Ruzika severance payments at the rate of his salary in effect on the date of termination for two years, payable in accordance with our usual payroll schedule. In the event of specified changes in control of us, all options previously granted to Mr. Ruzika will automatically vest and if Mr. Ruzika terminates his employment with us within one year of this change in control with cause, he will be entitled to the two years of severance payments described above. However, no transaction will be considered to be a change in control for purposes of triggering these severance obligations if the transaction in question involves the security services industry or is procured by Mr. Ruzika, Richard C. Rochon, Mario B. Ferrari, Coconut Palm Capital Partners, Ltd. or any affiliate of theirs. Mr. Ruzika is also subject to a three-year noncompete covenant to the extent his employment is terminated (including not renewing his employment agreement) in a manner that does not entitle him to the severance payments described above. Mr. Ruzika is also subject to a two-year noncompete covenant to the extent his employment is terminated (including not renewing his employment agreement) in a manner that does entitle him to the severance payments described above; however, if we fail to make these severance payments, Mr. Ruzika’s noncompete obligations will no longer be in effect.

Mr. David Rulien served as President of Construction and Materials from October 2004 until January 23, 2006. Prior to being named President, from March 1, 2004 to October 2004, he served as an assistant to Donald L. Smith, Jr., the

our former Chairman. From February 2003 to March 2004, Mr. Rulien served us in a consulting capacity as our President of DRR Advisors LLC, advising us with respect to its utility/desalination business. From August 2001 to December 2003, Mr. Rulien served as Chief Executive Officer of FishingLife, Inc. (“FishingLife”), an online retailer. From January 1999 to July 2001, he served as Vice President-Business Development of FishingLife. Prior to his tenure with FishingLife, from November 1996 to December 1999, Mr. Rulien served as Chief Executive Officer of Wave Communications, a company which sold prepaid wireless services. In October 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Rulien. The agreement’s term was for one year, annually renewable for additional equivalent terms. The agreement stipulates an annual base salary with merit increases and bonuses as determined by our Compensation Committee. If the agreement is terminated by us without cause or terminated by the employee for “Good Reason”, which includes assignment of duties inconsistent with the executive’s position, then we will pay one year’s salary in severance. If we have a change in control, which includes the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or shares of our Subsidiaries, we will pay an amount based on Mr. Rulien’s annual compensation, bonus payments and other compensation upon termination of the agreement by either party. We will reimburse the employee any excise tax payable by the employee. Under certain conditions, during employment and for a period of 2 years after termination, the employee shall not compete with our business. Subsequent to the year end, we agreed with Mr. Rulien to terminate his employment agreement and to pay out the remaining term of the agreement. As such, we will record a one-time charge of approximately $0.4 million representing the net present value of the payments owed Mr. Rulien during the first quarter of 2006.

On January 27, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Lakey Employment Agreement”) with Ron G. Lakey pursuant to the terms of which Mr. Lakey would become our Chief Financial Officer. On April 13, 2005, Mr. Lakey became our Vice President – Business Development. On January 23, 2006, Mr. Lakey became our President of Construction and Materials. The Lakey Employment Agreement was effective on February 1, 2005 and provides for a term of two years, which term may be automatically renewed each year unless three months advance notice of nonrenewal is given. In addition, the Lakey Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $200,000, discretionary bonuses to be determined at the discretion of our compensation committee, participation by Mr. Lakey in all benefit programs made available to other executive officers and eligibility for grants of options in accordance with our stock option plans. If within one year of a change of control, Mr. Lakey’s employment is terminated by us without cause or Mr. Lakey terminates his employment voluntarily, he will receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of his current annual base salary and his average bonus and other average compensation during the last two years, and his stock options will immediately vest. The Employment Agreement defines a “Change of Control” as (i) us selling or transferring substantially all of our assets or (ii) any consolidation or merger or other business combination involving us where our shareholders would not, immediately after such business combination, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, shares representing fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity. The Employment Agreement also includes covenants lasting for a term of two years relating to noncompetition and non-solicitation of employees and clients by Mr. Lakey.

On April 1, 1999, our board of directors adopted the Devcon International Corp. 1999 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by our shareholders on June 10, 1999. The 1999 Stock Option Plan was subsequently amended by our board of directors on April 21, 2003 which amendment was approved by our shareholders on June 6, 2003. This plan is the only plan under which we currently issue stock options. Under this plan, our compensation committee has the authority to grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to key employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors and these options may be exercised using loans from us or shares of our common stock that are already owned by the holder. The effective date of this plan was April 1, 1999.

Shares Available for Awards; Annual Per-Person Limitations. Under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended, the total number of shares of common stock that may be subject to the granting of options under the plan at any time during the term of the plan is equal to 600,000 shares (authorized April 1, 1999); there are currently 5,000 shares remaining available for grant.

Our compensation committee, with our board of directors approval by in its sole discretion, determines the persons to be awarded options, the number of shares subject thereto and the exercise price and other terms thereof. In addition, our compensation committee or our board of directors has full power and authority to construe and interpret the plan, and the acts of our compensation committee or our board of directors are final, conclusive and binding on all interested parties, including us, our shareholders, our officers and employees, recipients of grants under the plan, and all persons or entities claiming by or through these persons.

Eligibility. The persons eligible to receive options under this plan are our officers, directors, employees and independent contractors of the Company and officers, directors, employees and independent contractors of our subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2006, approximately 755 persons were eligible to participate in the plan.

Our compensation committee members are W. Douglas Pitts, Per-Olof Lööf and Donald Karnes. Until the time of his resignation from our board of directors on January 23, 2006, James R. Cast was also a member of the compensation committee.

The Company owns a 50% interest in ZSC South, a joint venture, which is currently in the process of being liquidated. Mr. W. Douglas Pitts, a director, owns a 5% interest in the joint venture. Courtelis Company manages the joint venture’s operations and Mr. Pitts is the President of Courtelis Company.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The table below provides information relating to our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2005.

There are no other shares of capital stock issued other than common stock. No employment or other agreements provide for the issuance of any shares of capital stock. There are no other options, warrants, or other rights to purchase securities of the Company issued to employees and directors, other than options to purchase common stock issued under the 1986 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, the 1992 Directors Stock Option Plan, the 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended, the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the Warrants issued in connection with the investment by Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Ltd. and pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company on February 10, 2006. Options to purchase 50,000 shares were issued to Matrix Desalination, Inc. at an exercise price of $6.38 in May 2003. The vesting of the options issued to Matrix was dependent on the consummation of certain investments for DevMat Utility Resources, LLC. For more information regarding the Company’s equity compensation plans, see Note 10, Stock Option Plans, to our consolidated financial statements filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The following table shows as of March 31, 2006 (or such other date indicated in the footnotes below), the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of our common stock, by the following:

On April 4, 2005, one of our shareholders, Coconut Palm Capital Partners I, Ltd., distributed an aggregate of 396,674 shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase 396,674 additional shares of our common stock to certain of its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In accordance with Coconut Palm’s limited partnership agreement, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had requested redemption paid to Coconut Palm an aggregate of $1,000.00 for legal fees incurred by Coconut Palm in connection with the redemption of the limited partnership interests. Coconut Palm’s limited partners include Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc., CSS Group, Inc., RPCP Investments, LLLP, as well as Messrs. Ruzika, Rochon, Ferrari and Karnes. Messrs. Rochon and Ferrari also are officers and directors of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. Mr. Ruzika is an officer and director of CSS Group, Inc. None of the above named limited partners were involved in the first distribution. In connection with the first distribution of shares, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, a significant portion of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Subsequently, on April 14, 2005, Coconut Palm distributed an aggregate of 19,992 shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase 19,992 additional shares of our common stock to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. In accordance with Coconut Palm’s limited partnership agreement, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had requested redemption paid to Coconut Palm an aggregate of $250.00 for legal fees incurred by Coconut Palm in connection with the redemption of the limited partnership interests. Similar to the first distribution of shares, in connection with the second distribution of shares, Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed granted to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, a significant portion of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders, as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Finally, on June 28, 2005, Coconut Palm distributed 1,583,334 shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase 3,583,334 additional shares of our common stock to its limited partners in exchange for the redemption of their respective limited partnership interests. This third distribution represented all of the remaining common stock and warrants held by Coconut Palm. No payment was made by the limited partners to Coconut Palm in connection with the third distribution of shares. Coconut Palm’s limited partners who had been redeemed did, however, grant to Coconut Palm Capital Investors I, Inc. a proxy to vote, in its sole discretion, a significant portion of the securities owned by the limited partners at any meeting of Devcon’s shareholders as well as in any action by written consent of Devcon’s shareholders.

Upon exercise of the warrants it holds, Coconut Palm Capital Partners I, Ltd. would beneficially own but not own of record 6,000,000 shares of our common stock giving it beneficial ownership of approximately 60% of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2006. Accordingly, if Coconut Palm were to exercise its warrants, it would have enough shares of our common stock to control our Company.

The Company’s policies and codes provide that related party transactions be approved in advance by either the Audit Committee or a majority of disinterested directors.

The Company leases from the wife of Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr., a Director and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a 1.8-acre parcel of real property in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This property is being used for our equipment logistics and maintenance activities. The property is subject to a 5-year lease entered into a January 2002 providing for rent of $95,000 per year. This rent was based on comparable rental contracts for similar properties in Deerfield Beach, as evaluated by management.

On July 30, 2004, the Company purchased an electronic security services company managed and controlled by Mr. Ruzika, our CEO, for approximately $4.7 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments after the closing. The initial allocation of the assets of the company purchased was based on fair value and included $70,000 of working capital, $306,000 of property, plant and equipment, $2.6 million of customer contracts, $356,000 of deferred tax assets and $1.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles. The Company assumed $277,000 of deferred revenue liability. The Company paid the purchase price with a combination of $2.5 million in cash and 214,356 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, on October 5, 2005, up to 13,718 shares were issued upon finalization of the purchase price adjustments.

Mr. James R. Cast, a former director, through his tax and consulting practice, has provided services to us for more than ten years. The Company paid Mr. Cast $59,400 and $59,400 for consulting services provided to the Company in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, Mr. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors in January 2006. Before resigning, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for tax and consulting services to be performed during 2006 for a specified number of consulting hours and for the total amount of $75,000.

The Company has entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Richard Hornsby, our former Senior Vice President and a director. He retired from the company at the end of 2004. During 2005 he received his full salary. From 2006 he will receive annual payments of $32,000 for life. During 2003, the Company recorded an expense of $232,000 for services rendered; this amount was paid out in 2005. The Company expensed the net present value of the obligation to pay Mr. Hornsby $32,000 annually for life, over his estimated remaining service period at the Company, i.e. during 2004. The net present value of the future obligation is presently estimated at $337,596.

On August 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2005 (the “Management Agreement”), with Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP (“Royal Palm”), to provide management services. Royal Palm Capital Management, LLP is an affiliate of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”) with whom the Company completed a transaction on June 30, 2004, whereby Coconut Palm invested $18 million into the Company for purposes of the Company entering into the electronic security services industry. Richard Rochon and Mario Ferrari, two of the Company’s directors, are principals of Coconut Palm and Royal Palm. Robert Farenhem is a principal of Royal Palm and was the Company’s interim CFO from April 2005 until December 2005.

The management services to be provided include, among other things, assisting the Company with, among other matters, establishing certain office, accounting and administrative procedures, obtaining financing relating to business operations and acquisitions, developing and implementing advertising, promotional and marketing programs, facilitating certain securities matters (both proposed offerings and ongoing compliance issues) and future acquisitions and dispositions, developing tax planning strategies, and formulating risk management policies. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Royal Palm a management fee in the amount of $30,000 per month. In connection with this Agreement, we incurred $274,702 during the year ended December 31, 2005.

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, for the audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, together with fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP during those periods.

All audit-related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the audit committee, which concluded that the provision of these services by KPMG was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The audit committee’s charter provides the audit committee has authority to pre-approve all audit and allowable non-audit services to be provided to us by our outside auditors.

In its performance of these responsibilities, prior approval of some non-audit services is not required if:

The audit committee is permitted to delegate the responsibility to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to one or more members of the audit committee so long as any decision made by that member or those members is presented to the full audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

The audit committee annually reviews the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and the fees charged for its services.

The audit committee of our board of directors has considered whether the provision of the above-described services is compatible with maintaining KPMG’s independence and believes the provision of such services is not incompatible with maintaining this independence.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain only normal reoccurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2006 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K. Management of the Company had made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conforming with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Freestanding and embedded financial instrument derivatives, which have been identified in connection with financial instruments issued, are valued at the time of issuance using an appropriate option pricing model and recorded as an asset or liability based upon the terms and conditions of the derivative instrument identified. When a host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative, and these derivatives require bifurcation, the bifurcated derivative instruments are valued as a single compound derivative instrument. The valuation model utilized requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the derivative instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the life of the respective derivative instrument. The derivative liability instruments which are identified, are re-valued at the end of each reporting period utilizing the same model used to value the derivative instruments at the time of their initial valuation. When a derivative instrument is classified as a liability, and is connected with a host instrument obligation, the related host instrument obligation to be recorded after taking into account the value of the derivative instrument (the “Discount”). In addition, the Discount is accreted to the face value of the respective host instrument obligation, utilizing the effective rate method, and accordingly an additional non-cash charge, is recorded as interest expense or a reduction of net income to arrive at income attributable to common shareholders depending on the respective balance sheet classification of the host instrument obligation.

On March 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2005, between the Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Guardian in which the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an estimated aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $65.5 million, excluding transaction costs of $1.7 million. This purchase price consisted of (i) approximately $23.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, (ii) approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem two series of Guardian’s preferred stock, (iii) approximately $13.3 million provided to Guardian to pay specified debt obligations and expenses and (iv) approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger, with the remainder allocated to working capital.

In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, and as further discussed in Note 4, the Company increased the amount of cash available under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants, as discussed in Note 4, to purchase Guardian and repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan. In addition, the Company issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share.

We have recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The preliminary purchase price allocation is based upon a report issued by an independent appraisal firm, as to fair value. Results of operations included for the acquisition are for the period March 6, 2006 to March 31, 2006.

The following table shows the consolidated results of the Company and Guardian, as though the Company had completed this acquisition at the beginning of each period reported on:

4. Financing the Acquisition of Guardian / Credit Agreement / Private Placement of Notes and Warrants

To finance the acquisition of Guardian on March 6, 2006, (i) Devcon Security Holdings, Inc. (“DSH”) increased the amount of cash available under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan and (ii) Devcon International Corp. issued $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share.

Under the terms of the CapitalSource revolving credit facility, the Company makes monthly interest payments on the outstanding balance of the facility (for Base Rate loans) or at maturity for 1-, 2-, and 3-month LIBOR-based loans and has the right to make prepayments without early payment penalty. No principal repayments are required until the facility matures on November 9, 2008, at which time the balance outstanding is due. The interest rate on the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement is tied to the prime rate plus a margin or, at the Company’s option, to LIBOR plus a margin, as specified therein depending on the amount borrowed and the underlying value of the monthly security monitoring service revenue.

Additionally, under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share and with an expiration date of March 6, 2009, were issued. The notes accrue interest at 8% per annum and mature the earlier of September 15, 2006 or no later than January 1, 2007. The maturity date of the notes depends on the date the Securities and Exchange Commission completes review of an information statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders informing them of the approval by stockholders owning a majority of the Company’s common stock of the issuance of 45,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which proceeds will be used to repay the notes, or the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission notifies the Company that it will not be reviewing the information statement. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive the 45,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which shares will have a par value of $.10 per share, a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share (the original purchase price per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends per share, and will be convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share of common stock. This conversion price and the exercise price of the Warrants issued with the notes are and will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Warrants could also cause the issuance of greater than 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants.

addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The effective date for this standard is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 in 2006 did not have an impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amended the compliance date to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, except that entities also are allowed to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The Company has chosen to use the “modified prospective” method as explained in Note 12 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The carrying amount of financial instruments including cash, cash equivalents, the majority of the accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable trade and other, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and notes payable to banks approximated fair value at March 31, 2006, because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of debt and most notes receivable approximated fair value at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows. As more fully described in Note 16, Debt and Financial Derivatives, the value of the Warrants issued with the $45 million of Notes to finance the Guardian acquisition, and the rights of the investors who bought the notes to exchange the notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement, were valued using an appropriate option model and recorded as a discount to the Notes face value at issuance.

The Construction division’s trade accounts receivable includes retention billings of $2.8 and $1.7 million as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

In February 2006, one of the Company’s Antiguan subsidiaries declared and paid a $3.6 million gross dividend, of which $1.2 million was withheld for Antiguan withholding taxes. The withholding taxes were deemed paid by utilization of a portion of a $7.5 million tax credit received as part of a Satisfaction Agreement which was entered into between the Company, its Antiguan subsidiaries and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in December of 2004. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a non-cash foreign tax expense in the amount of $ 1.2 million, which was offset by deferred tax benefit of $0.6 million associated with a net operating loss generated by the Company’s construction operations in the Virgin Islands and the utilization of a $0.6 million foreign tax credit.

Basic earnings-per-share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued, by application of the treasury stock method. No options were included in the computations of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of the common shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

For additional disclosures regarding the employee stock options, see the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K

The Company’s total comprehensive loss, comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

All stock options granted pursuant to the 1986 Plan not already exercisable vest and become fully exercisable (1) on the date the optionee reaches 65 years of age and for the six-month period thereafter or as otherwise modified by the Company’s Board of Directors, (2) on the date of permanent disability of the optionee and for the six-month period thereafter, (3) on the date of a change of control and for the six-month period thereafter, and (4) on the date of termination of the optionee from employment by the Company without cause and for the six-month period after termination. Stock options granted under the 1992 and 1999 Plan vest and become exercisable in varying terms and periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options issued under the 1992 and 1999 Plan expire after 10 years.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R , “Shared-Based Payment” a revision of SFAS 123. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Bulletin No. 107 regarding it interpretation of SFAS 123R. The standard requires companies to expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly the Company’s audited financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS 123R.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company did not issue any new option grants. During the same period, 45,620 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $530,189 and 14,000 options vested with a fair value of $115,540.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $117,170 of non-cash compensation expense (included in Selling, General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations) attributable to stock options vested subsequent to December 31, 2005. There were no option grants in the three months ended March 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $119,651 of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which will be recognized within the next 3.5 years. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” in accounting for stock-based employee compensation arrangements whereby compensation cost related to stock options was generally not recognized in determining net income and pro forma impact of compensation cost related to stock options was disclosed. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight line-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:

The Company’s pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2005:

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

A summary of stock option activity is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2006:

The following sets forth the revenue and income before income taxes for each of the Company’s business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

The Company maintains an accrual for retirement agreements with Company executives and certain other employees. This accrual is based on the life expectancy of these persons and an assumed weighted average discount rate of 5.04%. Should the actual longevity vary significantly from the United States insurance norms, or should the discount rate used to establish the present value of the obligation vary, the accrual may have to be significantly increased or diminished at that time. The net pension cost of the Company’s pension plans in the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

As a result of the divestiture of the Antiqua materials operations, the Company has no remaining foreign retirement plan.

The Company’s customer base for the security services division is primarily located in the states of Florida and New York. No single customer within the security services division accounted for more than 10% of total sales or accounts receivable.

The Company’s customer base for the construction and materials divisions are primarily located in the Caribbean with the most substantial credit concentration within the Construction division. Typically, customers within this division engage the company to develop large marinas, resorts and other site improvements and consequently, make up a larger percentage of total sales. No single customer within the construction and materials division accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company reported revenue for one Bahamian customer of 0.7% and 16.3% of total revenue, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, the ongoing project for the above mentioned customer had backlog of $0.2 million. A subsidiary of the Company and two of the Company’s directors are minority partners, and the same director is a member of the managing committee of the entity developing this project.

For the period ended March 31, 2006, there were receivables from the customer mentioned above that represented 6.4% of consolidated receivables. The total receivable balance from this customer is made up of accounts receivable of $0.3 million and notes receivable of $1.3 million. As of December 31, 2005, the total receivable from this customer was $2.5 million consisting of $0.3 million of current accounts receivable and $2.2 million of notes receivable. An additional customer related to a construction project in the Bahamas represented 7.2% or $1.8 million of the consolidated trade receivables. Of this balance, $0.9 million is retention and $0.4 million relates to our utility division. For the period ended March 31, 2006, there were no receivables from a single customer that represented more than 10% of total receivables. Although receivables are generally not collateralized, the Company may place liens or their equivalent in the event of nonpayment. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers as determined by specific events or circumstances and by applying a percentage to the receivables within a specific aging category.

In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, on March 6, 2006, the Company issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes (the “Notes”) along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share (the “Warrants”). The Company also increased the amount of availability under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and Warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $9.5 million of unused availability on the $100 million CapitalSource credit facility. Additionally, based on the credit facilities formula for availability to borrow, we had $2.8 million of additional borrowing capacity against the $9.5 million of availability as of March 31, 2006.

The Notes accrue interest, which is payable at maturity, at 8% per annum and mature on the earlier of September 15, 2006 or the date the Company obtains shareholder approval for issuance of the Preferred Stock shares defined below but no later then January 1, 2007. The allowable circumstances for the maturity date to extend beyond September 15, 2006 to January 1, 2007 must arise from the time which may be required for the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete its review, of an Information Statement to be filed with the Commission on Schedule 14C and the delivery of the Information Statement to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company currently anticipates that in accordance with the terms of the SPA the private placement investors will purchase an aggregate of 45,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, to be issued by the Company with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share (the original purchase price per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends per share, and convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share. The conversion price and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, the issuance of the Preferred Stock and common stock Warrants and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock, which could, upon issuance, equal an amount that is 20% or more of the Company’s common stock outstanding prior to the date of issuance, requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of the Company’s common stock approved the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock, the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Preferred Stock; however, this approval will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an information statement on Schedule 14C to the Company’s shareholders have been fully satisfied. The Company anticipates that the sale of the shares of Preferred Stock will take place on or before September 15, 2006 but not later than January 1, 2007. On February 10, 2006, the holders of 3,082,640 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, representing approximately 51.4% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders, executed a written consent approving the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and

the private placement and the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the common stock Warrants. These shareholders have also entered into an irrevocable voting agreement under the terms of which they have agreed to vote the shares they represent in favor of the same matters when these matters are submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders. The approval by the shareholders will not become effective until such a time the Company has held a meeting for such purpose and we anticipate holding such a meeting 20 days from the date the Information Statement relating to this matter is mailed to the Company’s shareholders.

The Preferred Stock to be issued and the Warrants are subject to a registration rights agreement, which imposes significant penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date as well as non-standard anti-dilution provisions. The conversion price of the Warrants and the Preferred Stock may be adjusted in certain circumstances, such as, if the Company pays a stock dividend, subdivide or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. Also, if the Company issues shares of common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the convertible preferred stock will be reduced accordingly.

Derivative financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded derivative instruments of a host instrument, which risk and rewards of such derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the risk and rewards of the host instrument, are generally required to be bifurcated and separately valued from the host instrument with which they relate.

The following freestanding and embedded derivative financial instruments were identified with the issuance of the Notes: i) the Warrants, which is a freestanding derivative , and ii) the right to purchase the Preferred Stock upon issuance (“the Right to Purchase”), which is a freestanding derivative instrument within the SPA.

The following embedded derivatives have been identified within the Preferred Stock if and when it is issued: i) the ability to convert the Preferred Stock for common stock; ii) the option of the Company to satisfy dividends payable on the Preferred Stock in common stock in lieu of cash; iii) the potential increase in the dividend rate of the Preferred Stock in the event a certain level of net cash proceeds from the sale of the our construction and material division assets are not realized with in a specified time frame: and (iv) a change in control redemption right. The embedded derivatives within the Preferred Stock will be bifurcated and valued as a single compound derivative if and when the Preferred Stock is issued.

The Company valued the Warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model (“the Model”). The Model determined an $8.6 million aggregate value for these derivatives and this value has been recorded as derivative instrument liability and classified as current or long term in accordance with respective maturity dates. Since these derivatives are associated with the Note, the face value of the Notes have been recorded net of the $8.6 million attributed to these derivative liabilities. The $8.6 million will be accreted to the carrying value of the Notes, using the effective rate method, over the expected life of the Note, which is five (5) months. Accordingly, a non- cash charge amounting to $1.8 million has been recorded to interest expensed from the date of issuance through March 31, 2006. Additionally, the derivative liability amounts will be re-valued at each balance sheet date with the resulting change in value being recorded as a charge or credit to arrive at net income. From the date of issuance though March 31, 2006, an aggregate charge with respect to the re-valuation of these derivatives liabilities amounted to $0.5 million.

The Warrants, which were issued in connection with the issuance of the Notes, are detachable and have a three-year life expiring on March 6, 2009. The Rights to Purchase are deemed to be issued in connection with the issuance of the Notes, and have a life which expires on the date of the Preferred Stock is issued. The initial value determined on March 6, 2006 for the Warrants and Rights to Purchase, as determined by the Model amounted to $4.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively The Model assumptions for initial valuation of the Warrants and Rights to Purchase the Preferred Stock issuance date were a risk free rate of 4.77% and 4.77%, respectively, and volatility for the Company’s common stock of 50% and 30% respectively.

The Model assumptions for revaluation of the Warrants and Rights to Purchase at March 31, 2006, were a risk free rate of 4.83% and 4.77%, respectively, and volatility for the Company’s common stock of 50% and 30%, respectively.

In connection with entering into the Notes, Warrants and Preferred Stock arrangements, the Company paid fees totaling $ 3.7 million. Of the total $3.7 million, $3.4 million relates to the Preferred Stock and $0.3 million relates to the Notes and Warrants. The Company will record the amount associated with the Preferred Stock as a deferred offering cost until the issuance of the Preferred Stock. The Company will record the fee associated with the Notes and Warrants as additional interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the note, which is five months.

In the fall of 2000, Virgin Islands Cement and Building Products, Inc. (“VICBP”), a subsidiary of the Company, was under contract with the Virgin Islands Port Authority (“VIPA”) for the construction of the expansion of the St. Croix Airport. During the project, homeowners and residents of the Yellow Cedar Housing Community, located next to the end of the expansion project, claimed to have experienced several days of excessive dust in their area as a result of the ongoing construction work and have claimed damage to their property and personal injury. The homeowners of Yellow Cedar have filed two separate lawsuits for unspecified damages against VIPA and VICBP as co-defendants. One suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands by Mariepaul Antoine, Benjamin Ashe, et. al, vs. VIPA et. al, case #2001,63 R/F, seeks equitable relief from nuisance, specific performance and damages. The second suit, Louisa Williams et. al vs. VIPA et. al filed in the Territorial Court of the U.S.V.I. case #548/2000 seeks equitable relief from nuisance, specific performance and damages. In both cases, VICBP, as defendant, has agreed to indemnify VIPA for any civil action as a result of the construction work.

The Company has brought a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of the Virgin Islands to determine whether or not there is coverage under the primary policy.

Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), the insurer for the primary general liability policy for VICBP during that period, has taken the legal position that “dust” is a pollutant and, therefore, the pollution exclusion clause applies and as a result denies liability insurance coverage to VICPA. The Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance in rehabilitation in October 2001, and subsequently into liability insurance coverage to VICPA. The Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance in rehabilitation in October 2001, and subsequently into liquidation. The Company has also presented claims under the policy to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, the V.I. Insurance Guaranty Association, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, and to the Company’s excess liability insurance carrier, Zurich Insurance Company. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate the Company’s potential, if any, risk of loss.

Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets has been impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit alleged that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by the Company if the contract continued for the entire potential term and the Company continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by the Company on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and the Company entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

In connection with financing the acquisition of Coastal Security Services in November 2005, the Company entered into a $70 million revolving credit agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC replacing in full the CIT facility. The specific terms of the CapitalSource revolving credit facility are more specifically described in Note 3 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has signed a non-recourse performance guarantee with CapitalSource and pledged, as collateral, the Company’s stock in DSH. Subsequently, in connection with the March 2006 acquisition of Guardian, the Company increased the facility with CapitalSource to $100 million.

of common stock. The specific terms of the Security Purchase Agreement, notes, warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are more specifically described in Note 16 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the event of certain triggering events, the interest rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the conversion rate can be changed. Those triggering events include i) leverage ratio targets that start at 6.5X reducing to 5X on specified dates; ii) failure of the registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC 125 days after the Closing Date or 155 days if there is a full review by the SEC; iii) lapse of the registration statement or suspension of trading for 5 consecutive days or 10 days in any year period; iv) failure to achieve divestment proceeds from the sale of the construction and materials division assets before certain dates; and a change in control.

On September 30, 2005, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, V.I. Cement & Building Products, Inc. completed the sale of its U.S. Virgin Islands material operations to Heavy Materials, LLC, a U.S. Virgin Islands limited liability company and private investor group (“Purchaser”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 15, 2005, for $10.7 million in cash plus the issuance of a promissory note (the “Note”) to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $2.6 million. The Note has a term of three years bearing interest at 5% per annum with only interest being paid quarterly in arrears during the first 12 months and principal and accrued interest being paid quarterly (principal being paid in 8 equal quarterly installments) for the remainder of the term of the Note until the maturity date. The operating results of VI Cement & Building Products, Inc. have been reclassified in the 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated and 2005 Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

On March 2, 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd. and its subsidiary, Antigua Cement Ltd (together “AMP”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed, a private investor, or his nominee and Gary O’Rourke, under which we completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP. In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to EC 1,436,485 (US $532,032) as of the date of the sale (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) are outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such Preferred Shares are reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such Preferred Shares, which represents an aggregate amount slightly in excess of $500,000. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. Proceeds of $4.6 million were realized due to retention of cash on hand with AMP at the date of sale. This purchase price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to the Company, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by the Company. The purchasers agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the sale. The operating results of AMP have been reclassified in the 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated and 2005 Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all the periods presented have been adjusted to classify the U.S Virgin Islands and Antigua material operations as discontinued operations. Selected statement of operations data for the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows:

A summary of the total assets of discontinued operations recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

We have not guaranteed any other person’s or company’s debt, except as set forth above in “Contingent Liabilities.” We have not entered into any currency or interest options, swaps or future contracts, nor do we have any off balance sheet debts or transactions, except as disclosed above under “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.”

We have no other off-balance sheet transactions where we are the obligors. Details regarding the Company’s other contingent liabilities are described fully in Note 17, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In addition, we may have exposure to liability in connection with pending disputes in which the Company is involved; see “Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings”

As of March 31, 2006, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million, negative working capital of $33.7 million and available lines of credit of $2.8 million. Total outstanding liabilities were $188.7 million as of March 31, 2006, compared to $101.8 million as of December 31, 2005. The negative working capital results from our current liabilities, including $38.0 million of notes payable and $10.1 million of derivative instruments. The $10.1 million of derivative instruments, which is more fully described in Note 16 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, are recorded as debt discount and will be accreted over the expected term of the notes, or 5 months. The Company expects that the notes payable will be exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which are more fully described below. If the notes are not exchanged as expected, they become due and payable on January 1, 2007. In such an event, the Company would have to identify and obtain financing to fund the maturity of the notes. The Company believes that the exchange of the notes for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will occur as a result of the actions described in management’s discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital resources for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. Excluding the notes payable and financial derivatives, the Company has $14.4 million of working capital as of March 31, 2006.

On May 2, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the fixed assets and substantially all of the inventory of its Joint Venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company (“PRCC”), to Mr. Jose Criado, through a company controlled by Mr. Criado for a purchase price of $700,000 cash and a two-year 5% note in an amount equal to the value of the inventory as of the closing date. Additionally, as part of the sale agreement, Mr. Criado assumes substantially all employee—related severance costs and liabilities arising from the lease agreement (including reclamation and leveling) for the quarry land. The net proceeds of the sale approximated the net book value of the related assets after giving effect to an impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million recorded by the Company on the long-lived assets of PRCC at December 31, 2005.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K. Dollar amounts of $1.0 million or more are rounded to the nearest one tenth of a million; all other dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand and all percentages are stated to the nearest one tenth of one percent.

amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowance for credit losses, inventories and loss reserve for inventories, cost to complete construction contracts, assets held-for-sale, intangible assets, changes in derivative instrument value, income taxes, taxes on un-repatriated earnings, warranty obligations, impairment charges, business divestitures, pensions, deferral compensation and other employee benefit plans or arrangements, environmental matters, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue in the security division for repair and installation services, for which no monitoring contract is connected, is recognized when the services are performed.

Revenue in the security division for monitoring services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. We assess the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. Nonrefundable installation charges and a portion of related direct costs to acquire the monitoring contract, such as sales commissions, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of a new subscriber relationship, which we have estimated at 10 years. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior the original expected life is completed, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are expensed.

Revenue for the materials division is recognized when the products are delivered (FOB Destination), invoiced at a fixed price and the collectibility is reasonably assured.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from management’s review and assessment of our customers’ ability to make required payments. We consider the age of specific accounts and a customer’s payment history. For our construction and materials divisions, specific collateral given by the customer to secure the receivable is obtained when we determine necessary. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions were to be less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves could be required. If the actual market demand surpasses the projected levels, inventory write downs are not reversed.

If the installation of security systems will have future recurring revenue, the costs to install are deferred and included in work in process inventory. When the installation is complete, the deferred installation costs are capitalized and included in other current and long term assets accordingly. The capitalized installation costs are then amortized over the life of an average customer contract life or 10 years. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior to completion of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are expensed.

We determine the lives of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Some of these assets, such as goodwill, which we determine to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB 142. This testing is based on subjective analysis and may change from time to time. We tested goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on June 30, 2005 and will test for impairment annually each June 30. Other identifiable intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The review of impairment and estimation of useful life is subjective and may change from time to time.

Customer accounts are stated at fair value based on the discounted cash flows over the estimated life of the customer contracts and relationships. The Company uses independent appraisal firms to perform a valuation study at the time of acquisition to determine the value and estimated life of customer accounts purchased in order to assist management in determining an appropriate method in which to amortize the asset. The amortization life is based on historic analysis of customer relationships combined with estimates of expected future revenues from customer accounts. The Company amortizes customer accounts on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer accounts, which varies from 4 to 17, years and records an additional charge equal to the remaining unamortized value of the customer account for accounts which discontinued service before the expected life. The additional charge for discontinued accounts is equal to the remaining net book value of the customer contract and relationship for the specific customer account canceled.

income tax return filed by us for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, expired. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, we reversed $37,440 and $2.3 million, respectively, of the tax accrual established at December 31, 2003. We will work with the EDC regarding this matter and if challenged by the U.S. Virgin Islands taxing authority, would vigorously contest its position.

Freestanding and embedded financial instrument derivatives, which have been identified in connection with financial instruments issued, are valued at the time of issuance using an appropriate option pricing model and recorded as an asset or liability based upon the terms and conditions of the derivative instrument identified. When a host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative, and these derivatives require bifurcation, the bifurcated derivative instruments are valued as a single compound derivative instrument. The valuation model utilized requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the derivative instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the respective derivative instrument. The derivative liability instruments which are identified are re-valued at the end of each reporting period utilizing the same model used to value the derivative instruments at the time of issuance, and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. When a derivative instrument is classified as a liability, and is connected with a host instrument obligation, the related host instrument obligation to be recorded after taking into account the value of the derivative instrument (the “Discount”). In addition, the Discount is accreted to the face value of the respective host instrument obligation, utilizing the effective rate method, and accordingly an additional non-cash charge, is recorded as interest expense or a reduction of net income to arrive at income attributable to common shareholders depending on the respective balance sheet classification of the host instrument obligation.

Comparison Of Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 With Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

In the first quarter of 2006, our consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to $24.6 million, an increase of $8.6 million, or approximately a 53.8% increase when compared to revenue in the first quarter 2005 of $16.0 million. This revenue increase was principally due to an increase of $8.6 million recorded by our Security Services division and $0.4 million recorded by our Materials division. The increase in Security division revenue was a result of our acquisitions of Starpoint Limited (“Starpoint”), Coastal Security (“Coastal”) and Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”), which occurred on February 28, 2005, November 10, 2005 and March 6, 2006, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The results of these operations are included in our financial statements only from the respective acquisition dates. Operating loss for the first quarter 2006 increased $5.9 million to a $6.5 million loss when compared to a $0.6 million loss in the first quarter of 2005. This increase in operating loss of $5.9 million was principally due to an increase in gross profit of $4.6 million for our Security Services division offset by an increase in total operating expenses of $6.2 million, which amounts includes $3.4 million of amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships, and an operating loss incurred by our Construction division amounting to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to operating income of $2.0 million during the comparable period in 2005. Other income (expense) decreased $4.1 million to a net expense of $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from income of $39,000 for the same period in 2005. Net loss for the first quarter of 2006 increased $7.2 million to a net loss of $8.8 million when compared to a net loss for the first quarter of 2005 of $1.6 million.

Our revenue from continuing operations during the first quarter of 2006 amounted to $24.6 million as compared to $16.0 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $8.6 million recorded by our Security Services division.

Revenue from our Security Services division amounted to $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $2.0 million for first quarter of 2005. This revenue increase arises as a result of our acquisitions of the electronic security services operations of Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian on February 28, 2005, November 10, 2005 and March 6, 2006, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting and the results of these operations are included in our financial statements only from their respective acquisition dates.

Our Construction division revenue decreased approximately 5.1% to $8.8 million during the first quarter of 2006, when compared to $9.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. This revenue was principally generated by construction contracts in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Our backlog of contracts at March 31, 2006 was $15.8 million, involving 18 contracts. The Company expects that most of the $15.8 million backlog will be completed during 2006. The Company is actively bidding and negotiating additional projects in areas throughout the Caribbean and, since March 31, 2006, the division has added $4.9 million of additional construction contracts or change orders.

Our Materials division revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to the comparable period in 2005 increased $0.4 million or 9.6% to $5.0 million from $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Following the completed sale of the US Virgin Islands, Antigua and Puerto Rico materials operations, which were completed on September 30, 2005, March 2, 2006 and May 2, 2006 respectively, our Materials division consists solely of our quarry and concrete and aggregates operation on the island of St. Martin. Revenue for our St Martin operations for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 increased $0.3 million to $4.3 million from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31 2005 and 2006, respectively, and was attributable to an increase in sales of aggregates and concrete.

Other revenue in the first quarter consisted of $182,000 associated with our DevMat utilities services joint venture.

Cost of Security as a percentage of Security Services revenue was 45.3% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to 40.1% for the first quarter of 2005, or a difference of 5.2%. The difference in cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 is not directly comparable as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in revenues and related costs of acquired businesses in the first quarter of 2006. Included in the cost of security are the direct costs incurred to monitor and service security systems installed at subscriber premises, as well as the net direct costs incurred with the installation of new security systems, after taking into consideration the effects of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

Cost of Construction as a percentage of Construction revenue increased 51.1% to 120.0% during the first quarter of 2006 from 68.9% percent during the same period in 2005. The increase is mainly attributed to a projected $1.0 million increased loss to complete on a marina project in the Virgin Islands, which is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2006, and a $0.3 million loss on a dredging job due to delays and expenses not reimbursed under the contract with the customer. In addition, current construction jobs are operating at lower margins than the first quarter of 2005.

Cost of Materials as a percentage of Materials revenue decreased to 91% during the first quarter of 2006 from 94% during the same period in 2005. This was the result of increased revenue per yard on our cement sales and due to increased volume for our quarry operations.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A expense”) combined with severance and retirement increased $6.1 million during the first quarter of 2006 to $11.1 million when compared to $5.0 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase of $6.1 million was due to increases in the Security Services division of $6.0 million resulting from the acquired businesses of Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian combined with a charge to severance of $0.3 million, and an increase of other unallocated corporate overhead of $0.7 million. Included in the $6.0 million of operating expenses is $3.4 million of non-cash charges for amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships in accordance with FASB No. 142. The unallocated corporate overhead was mainly due to increased legal and consulting fees of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to $6.5 million compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million for the comparable period in 2005, or an increased loss of $5.9 million. The increased loss was mainly attributable to the reduced profitability of construction jobs, resulting in a reduction in Construction division gross profit of $4.7 million, combined with the increased legal, consulting and severance costs included in operating expenses of $0.7 million.

Other income (expense) amounted to a $4.1 million expense for the first quarter of 2006 compared to income of $39,000 for the same period in 2005. This $4.1 million expense is due to an increase in interest expense of $3.8 million resulting from increased debt issued to finance the acquisitions of Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian; respectively; a $1.5 million change in fair market value associated with the derivative liability which was issued in connection with financing the acquisition of Guardian; offset by the recognition of an additional $1.2 million benefit from the December 2004, settlement of a note receivable from the Antigua and Barbuda government.

Income tax benefit (expense) was a benefit of $49,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to an expense of ($1.9) million for the same quarter in 2005. In February 2006, one of the Company’s Antiguan subsidiaries declared and paid a $3.6 million gross dividend, of which $1.2 million was withheld for Antiguan withholding taxes. The withholding taxes were deemed paid by utilization of a portion of a $7.5 million tax credit received as part of a Satisfaction Agreement which was entered into between the Company, its Antiguan subsidiaries and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in December of 2004. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized a non cash foreign tax expense in the amount of $ 1.2 million which was offset by deferred tax benefit of $0.6 million associated with a net operating loss generated by the Company’s construction operations in the Virgin Islands and the utilization of $0.6 million of foreign tax credit.

We generally fund our working capital needs from operations and bank borrowings. In the electronic security services business, monitoring services are typically billed in advance on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Installations of new security systems for residential customers typically result in a net investment in the customer, whereas installations of new security systems for commercial projects typically have neutral to positive cash flow. In the construction business, we expend considerable funds for equipment, labor and supplies. In the construction division, our capital needs are greatest at the start of a new contract, since we generally must complete 45 to 60 days of work before receiving the first progress payment. As a project continues, a portion of the progress billing is usually withheld as retainage until the work is complete. We have historically provided long term financing to certain customers who have previously utilized our construction services. During the first quarter of 2006 and 2005, we financed no construction contracts and $1.6 million of construction contracts, respectively. Repayments by customers are due at different times within the next three years. Accounts receivable for the materials operation are typically established with terms between 30 and 45 days. Our business requires a continuing investment in plant and equipment, along with the related maintenance and upkeep costs.

We believe our cash flow from operations, existing working capital and funds available from lines of credit are adequate to meet our operating needs in 2006. Historically, we have used a number of lenders to finance a portion of our machinery and equipment purchases. At March 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding to these lenders.

For certain new contracts, our construction customers require we issue a bid or performance bond for the value of a contract. Bonding company’s use, among other measures, tangible net worth or asset value determine eligibility for underwriting the bonds. Because of the value of intangible assets acquired in our security services acquisitions, we no longer qualify under the requirements of bonding companies. Although we believe this may prevent us from obtaining certain contracts in the future, we believe our experience and existing presence in the Caribbean geographic area will provide an adequate level of comfort to allow our backlog of construction contracts to remain stable. We have on occasion been required to provide a guarantee of performance by Devcon International, Corp, our parent company to obtain a contract.

As of March 31, 2006, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $13.6 million, negative working capital of $33.7 million and available lines of credit of $2.8 million. Total outstanding liabilities were $188.7 million as of March 31, 2006, compared to $101.8 million as of December 31, 2005. The negative working capital results from our current liabilities, including $38.0 million of notes payable and $10.1 million of derivative instruments. The $10.1 million of derivative instruments, which is more fully described in Note 16 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, are recorded as debt discount and will be accreted over the expected term of the notes, or 5 months. We expect that the notes payable will be exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which are more fully described below. If the notes are not exchanged as expected, they become due and payable on January 1, 2007. In such an event, the Company would have to identify and obtain financing to fund the maturity of the notes. The Company believes that the exchange of the notes for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will occur as a result of the actions described below. Excluding the notes payable and financial derivatives, the Company has $14.4 million of working capital as of March 31, 2006.

Cash flow provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $3.2 million compared with a use of $2.4 million for the same quarter in 2005. The primary sources of cash for operating activities during the quarter was accounts receivable and notes receivable of $1.7 million. The primary use of cash from operating activities was a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.5 million and other long term liabilities of $0.8 million.

Our accounts receivable averaged 58 days of sales outstanding (DSO) as of March 31, 2006. This is an increase of 15 days compared to 43 days at the end of December 2005. Our security services segment averaged 40 days, while our construction segment and St Martin materials operations averaged 98 and 41 days respectively.

On June 6, 1991, the Company issued a promissory note in favor of Donald L. Smith, Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the aggregate principal amount of $2.1 million. The note provided that the balance due under the note was due on January 1, 2004, but this maturity date was extended by agreement between Mr. Smith and the Company to October 1, 2005. The note is unsecured and bears interest at the prime rate. Presently $1.7 million is outstanding under the note. The balance under the note becomes immediately due and payable upon a change of control (as defined in the note). However, under the terms of a guarantee dated March 10, 2004, by and between the Company and Mr. Smith where Mr. Smith guarantees a receivable from Emerald Bay Resort amounting to $2.2 million, Mr. Smith must maintain collateral in the amount of $1.8 million. The note defines a “change of control” as the acquisition or other beneficial ownership, the commencement of an offer to acquire beneficial ownership, or the filing of a Schedule 13D or 13G with the SEC indicating an intention to acquire beneficial ownership, by any person or group, other than Mr. Smith and members of his family, of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company has entered into retirement agreements with certain existing and retired executives of the Company. The net present value of future liabilities for these arrangements as of March 31, 2006 was $3.5 million, of which $1.7 million is for the former Chairman. The Company has used an average discount rate of 5.0 percent and standard mortality tables to estimate these liabilities.

2004 and rent of $50,000 per year through October 2004. The agreements cover a 15-year period, but may be cancelled at either party’s option in 2004 and 2005, respectively. In May 2004, the Company entered into discussions about terminating the lease and to stop the quarry operations on St. Martin. In June 2004, the quarry owner terminated the lease contract as of October 27, 2004, and terminated a material supply contract. The landlord has commenced certain proceedings with respect to the foregoing. The Company has continued its discussions with the landlord, as further described in Contingent Liabilities. The Company accrued for quarry restoration costs and recognized an impairment charge on the assets in the first quarter of 2003 and does not expect any further impairment, restoration costs or closing costs, except for possible severance cost depending of the future actions of the parties.

On March 6, 2006, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 9, 2005, we and Devcon Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a merger (the “Merger”) in which we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian, for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $65.5 million in cash.

In order to finance the Merger, on March 6, 2006, we also (i) closed a private placement of the Notes described below and Warrants under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, and (ii) through DSH, increased our credit line (the “Credit Agreement”) from $70 million to $100 million under our revolving credit facility with CapitalSource. Most of the proceeds from the Notes, the Warrants and the draw down under the increased Credit Agreement were used to acquire Guardian. The remaining proceeds were used to repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan, which was issued in November 2005, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of March 31, 2006, and following the acquisition of Guardian, we had $9.5 million unused availability on our $100 million CapitalSource credit facility. Additionally, based on the credit facilities formula for availability to borrow, we had $2.8 million of additional borrowing capacity against the $9.5 million of availability as of March 31, 2006.

As noted above, on March 6, 2006, we issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum (which rate increases to 18% per annum in the event we fail to make payments required under the notes when due).

We anticipate that, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), par value $0.10 per share, of Devcon with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000, convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The issuance of the new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Warrants could also cause the issuance of greater than 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. Our Board has approved the creation of a new class of preferred stock and the creation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants. The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the exercise of the Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which could, upon issuance, equal an amount that is 20% or more of our common stock outstanding prior to the date of issuance, requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of our common stock approved the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock, the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A convertible Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; however, this approval will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an information statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders have been fully satisfied. The issuance of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is expected to take place on or before September 15, 2006, but not later than January 1, 2007.

The Company’s policies and codes provide that related party transactions be approved in advance by either the Audit Committee or a majority of disinterested directors.

The Company leases from the wife of Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr., a Director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a 1.8-acre parcel of real property in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This property is being used for our equipment logistics and maintenance activities. The property is subject to a 5-year lease entered into on January 2002 providing for rent of $95,000 per year. This rent was based on comparable rental contracts for similar properties in Deerfield Beach, as evaluated by management.

On June 6, 1991, the Company issued a promissory note in favor of Donald Smith, Jr., a Director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,070,000. The note provided that the balance due under the note was due on January 1, 2004, but this maturity date has been extended by agreement between Mr. Smith and the Company to October 1, 2006. The note is unsecured and bears interest at the prime rate. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $1.7 million is outstanding under the note. The balance under the note becomes immediately due and payable upon a change of control. The note defines a “change of control” as the acquisition or other beneficial ownership, the commencement of an offer to acquire beneficial ownership, or the filing of a Schedule 13D or 13G with the SEC indicating an intention to acquire beneficial ownership, by any person or group, other than Mr. Smith and members of his family, of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. However, under the terms of a guarantee dated March 10, 2004, by and between the Company and Mr. Smith where Mr. Smith guarantees various notes receivable from Emerald Bay Resort amounting to $1.3 million, Mr. Smith must maintain collateral in the amount of $1.8 million.

On July 30, 2004, the Company purchased an electronic security services company managed and controlled by Mr. Ruzika, our CEO, for approximately $4.7 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments after the closing. The initial allocation of the assets of the company purchased was based on fair value and included $70,000 of working capital, $306,000 of property, plant and equipment, $2.6 million of customer contracts, $356,000 of deferred tax assets and $1.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles. The Company assumed $277,000 of deferred revenue liability. The Company paid the purchase price with a combination of $2.5 million in cash and 214,356 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, on October 5, 2005, 13,718 shares were issued upon finalization of the purchase price adjustments.

Mr. James R. Cast, a former director, through his tax and consulting practice, has provided services to us for more than ten years. The Company paid Mr. Cast $59,400 and $59,400 for consulting services provided to the Company in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, Mr. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors in January 2006. Before resigning, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for tax and consulting services to be performed during 2006 for a specified number of consulting hours and for the total amount of $75,000.

On August 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2005 (the “Management Agreement”), with Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP (“Royal Palm”), to provide management services. Royal Palm Capital Management, LLP is an affiliate of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I Ltd. (“Coconut Palm”) with whom the Company completed a transaction on June 30, 2004, whereby Coconut Palm invested $18 million into the Company for purposes of the Company entering into the electronic security services industry. Richard Rochon and Mario Ferrari, two of the Company’s directors, are principals of Coconut Palm and Royal Palm. Robert Farenhem is a principal of Royal Palm and was the Company’s interim CFO from April 2005 until December 2005.

The management services to be provided include, among other things, assisting the Company with, among other matters, establishing certain office, accounting and administrative procedures, obtaining financing relating to business operations and acquisitions, developing and implementing advertising, promotional and marketing programs, facilitating certain securities matters (both proposed offerings and ongoing compliance issues) and future acquisitions and dispositions, developing tax planning strategies, and formulating risk management policies. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Royal Palm a management fee in the amount of $30,000 per month. In connection with this Agreement, we incurred $274,702 during the year ended December 31, 2005.

We are exposed to financial market risks due primarily to changes in interest rates, which we manage primarily by managing the maturities of our financial instruments. We do not use derivatives to alter the interest characteristics of our financial instruments. A change in interest rate may materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates results from the variable rate of our senior secured revolving credit facility with CapitalSource, as an increase in interest rates would result in lower earnings and increased cash outflows. The interest rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility is payable at variable rates indexed to either LIBOR or the Base Rate. The effect of each 1% increase in the LIBOR rate and the Base Rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility would result in an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $0.9 million. Based on the U.S. yield curve as of March 31, 2006 and other available information, we project interest expense on our variable rate debt to increase approximately $0.06, $0.03, $0.0 and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively

and procedures. The evaluation examined the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer , as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, LLP (“KPMG”), communicated to the Company’s management and Audit Committee that certain matters involving the Company’s internal controls were considered to be “material weaknesses”, as defined under the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. These matters pertained to (i) inadequate polices and procedures with respect to review and oversight of financial results to ensure that accurate consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed on a timely basis, (ii) inadequate number of individuals with US GAAP experience and (iii) inadequate review of account reconciliations, analyses and journal entries. The Company concurred with this communication.

The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and it’s Chief Financial Officer, who is currently acting as the Company’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting, referred to in paragraph 4 of the certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

The Company is committed to continuously improving its internal controls and financial reporting. Since December 31, 2005, management has met with its Audit Committee and its independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, to review the specific details of the material weaknesses in internal control and determine short term and longer term plans to remediate those weaknesses with the ultimate goal of meeting the formalized requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In order to remediate the material weaknesses described above, the Company’s management and its Audit Committee have taken or is in the process of taking the following steps:

The Company believes the implementation of the above measures will appropriately address the matters identified by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and concurred with by management as material weaknesses. This process is ongoing, however, and the Company’s management and its Audit Committee will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures on a continual basis and will take further action as appropriate.

We are involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, primarily in connection with our Construction division.

The Company has brought a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of the Virgin Islands to determine whether or not there is coverage under the primary policy.

Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), the insurer for the primary general liability policy for VICBP during that period, has taken the legal position that “dust” is a pollutant and, therefore, the pollution exclusion clause applies and as a result denies liability insurance coverage to VICPA. The Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance in rehabilitation in October 2001, and subsequently into liquidation. We have also presented claims under the policy to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, the V.I. Insurance Guaranty Association, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, and to our excess liability insurance carrier, Zurich Insurance Company. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate our potential, if any, risk of loss.

In the late 1980s, Bouwbedrijf Boven Winden, N.V., (“BBW”), currently a Devcon subsidiary in the Netherlands Antilles, supplied concrete to a large apartment complex on the French side of Sint Maarten. In the early 1990s, the buildings began to develop exterior cracking and “pop outs.” In November 1993, BBW was named one of several defendants, including the building’s insurer, in a suit filed by Syndicat des Copropriétaires la Résidence Le Flamboyant (condominium owners association of Le Flamboyant) in the French court “Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris”, case No. 510082/93. A French court assigned an expert to examine the cause of the cracking and pop outs and to determine if the cracking/pop outs are caused by a phenomenon known as alkali reaction (“ARS”). The expert found, in his report dated December 3, 1998, that BBW was responsible for the ARS. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages, including demolition and replacement of the 272 apartments. Based on the advice of legal counsel, a judgment assessed in a French court would not be enforceable against a Netherlands Antilles company. Thus, in order to obtain an enforceable judgment, the plaintiff would have to file a successful claim in an Antillean court. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate the potential risk of loss, if any, to the Company. Due to the lack of enforceability, the Company decided not to continue the defense in the French court. Therefore, the Company may not be aware of recent developments in the proceedings. Management believes our defenses to be meritorious and does not believe that the outcome will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and the Company entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

We are involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, management currently does not foresee such expenses in the future as having a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Information about risk factors for the three months ended March 31, 2006, does not differ materially from those in set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, except for the following additional Risk Factor:

In connection with the debt and equity financing the Company conducted to fund the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc., the Company identified with the issuance of the $45,000,000 of notes, the following freestanding and embedded derivative financial instruments:

ii) the right to purchase the Preferred Stock upon issuance (“the Right to Purchase”), which is an embedded derivative within the governing Securities Purchase Agreement.

In addition, the following embedded derivatives have been identified within the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if and when it is issued upon exchange for the notes:

i) the ability to convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock;

ii) the option of the Company to satisfy dividends payable on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in common stock in lieu of cash;

iii) the potential increase in the dividend rate of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the event a certain level of net cash proceeds from the sale of the assets of the Company’s Construction and Materials divisions are not realized within a specified time frame; and

We anticipate the embedded derivatives within the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be required to be bifurcated under generally accepted accounting principles and valued as a single compound derivative if and when the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is issued.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Warrants, the Right to Purchase and any other embedded derivatives must be revalued from time to time as of each applicable balance sheet date and marked to market with resulting changes in value being recorded as a charge or credit to arrive at net income. During this periodic valuation process, the Company may recognize charges due to the recognition of changes in the market value of these derivative financial instruments. We valued the Warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model (“the Model”). This Model is described in footnote 16 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As more fully explained in footnote 16 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, from the date of issuance though March 31, 2006, an aggregate charge to arrive at net income with respect to the re-valuation of these derivatives liabilities amounted to $1,534,692.

No unregistered securities were sold or issued during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, except for the issuance of $45,000,000 of notes and warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, as amended from time to time, by and between us and the investors set forth therein.

These offers and sales of our common stock were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the common stock was sold to accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D.

On February 10, 2006, the holders of 3,082,640 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, representing approximately 51.4% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders, executed a written consent approving the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the private placement and the issuance of 45,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, as amended from time to time, by and between us and the investors set forth therein. The approval by the shareholders will not become effective until 20 days from the date an information statement relating to the vote is initially transmitted to the Company’s shareholders.

Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act): YES ¨ NO x

As of August 11, 2006 the number of shares outstanding of the registrant’s Common Stock was 6,033,879.

Devcon International Corp. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) provides electronic security services and products to financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of government departments and health care and educational facilities. The Company also performs earthmoving, excavating and filling operations, builds golf courses, roads, and utility infrastructures, dredges waterways and constructs deep-water piers and marinas in the Caribbean. The Company also produces and distributes ready-mix concrete, crushed stone, sand, concrete block and asphalt and distributes bagged cement on the island of St. Martin/Sint Maarten in the southern Caribbean.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Devcon International Corp. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note (l) to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain only normal reoccurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2006 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K. Management of the Company had made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Freestanding and embedded financial instrument derivatives, which have been identified in connection with financial instruments previously issued, are valued at the time of issuance using an appropriate option pricing model and recorded as an asset or liability based upon the terms and conditions of the derivative instrument identified. When a host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative, and these derivatives require bifurcation, the bifurcated derivative instruments are valued as a single compound derivative instrument. The valuation model utilized requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the derivative instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the life of the respective derivative instrument. The financial instrument derivatives which are identified are re-valued at the end of each reporting period utilizing the same model used to value the derivatives at the time of their initial valuation and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. When a financial instrument derivative is classified as a liability, and is connected with a host instrument obligation, the related host instrument obligation is recorded after applying an appropriate discount equal to the value of the financial instrument derivative (the “Discount”). In addition, the Discount is accreted to the face value of the respective host instrument obligation, utilizing the effective rate method, and, accordingly, an additional non-cash charge is recorded as interest expense or a reduction of net income to arrive at income attributable to common shareholders depending on the respective balance sheet classification of the host instrument obligation.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Pricing” which amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “. . . under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. . . .” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The effective date for this standard is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 in 2006 did not have an impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amended the compliance date to adopt SFAS 123R, effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, except that entities also are allowed to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The Company has chosen to use the “modified prospective” method as explained in Note 12 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and prescribes recognition thresholds and derecognition guidance for the measurement of tax positions and interest penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Additionally this Interpretation establishes a consistent threshold for recognizing current and deferred taxes. This Interpreation requires evaluation of a Company’s tax positions as to whether they are more-likely-than-not i) to be sustained under tax audit and ultimate settlement in related appeals or litigation and ii) to be measured at a 50% likelihood for quantification when realized. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. This Statement defines retrospective application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or of the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. This Statement also redefines restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This Interpretation is effective for years beginning after December 31, 2005. Adoption of FAS No 154 has not had a material effect on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

On March 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”) under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2005, between the Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Guardian in which the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian for an estimated aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $65.5 million, excluding transaction costs of $1.7 million. This purchase price consisted of (i) approximately $23.6 million paid to the holders of the common stock of Guardian, (ii) approximately $23.3 million paid to redeem two series of Guardian’s preferred stock, (iii) approximately $13.3 million used to assume and pay specified Guardian debt obligations and expenses and (iv) approximately $1.0 million used to satisfy specified expenses incurred by Guardian in connection with the merger. The balance of the purchase consideration, approximately $3.3 million, has been placed in escrow. Subject to reconciliation based upon recurring monthly revenue, or RMR, and net working capital levels as of closing and subject to other possible adjustments, Guardian common shareholders are expected to receive a pro rata distribution from the escrowed amount approximately six months after the closing.

In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, and as further discussed in this Note 4, the Company increased the amount of cash available under its CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes and warrants, as discussed in Note 4, to purchase Guardian and repay the Company’s $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan. In addition, the Company issued to certain investors, under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share.

The following table shows the consolidated results of the Company and Guardian, as though the Company had completed this acquisition at the beginning of each period reported on:

On March 2, 2006, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd. and its subsidiary, Antigua Cement Ltd (together “AMP”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed, a private investor, or his nominee, and Gary O’Rourke, under which the Company completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP. In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to EC 1,436,485 (US $532,032) as of the date of the sale (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) are outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such Preferred Shares are reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such Preferred Shares, which represents an aggregate amount slightly in excess of $500,000. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. Proceeds of $4.6 million were realized due to retention of cash on hand with AMP at the date of sale. This purchase price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to the Company, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by the Company. The purchasers agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the sale. The operating results of AMP have been reclassified in the 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated and 2005 Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

On May 2, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the fixed assets and substantially all of the inventory of its Joint Venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company (“PRCC”), to Mr. Jose Criado, through a company controlled by Mr. Criado, for a purchase price of $700,000 cash and a two-year 5% note in an amount equal to the value of the inventory as of the closing date. Additionally, as part of the sale agreement, Mr. Criado assumed substantially all employee-related severance costs and liabilities arising from the lease agreement (including reclamation and leveling) for the quarry land. The net proceeds of the sale approximated the net book value of the related assets after giving effect to an impairment charge of approximately $0.9 million recorded by the Company on the long-lived assets of PRCC at December 31, 2005. The operating results of PRCC have been reclassified in the 2006 unaudited condensed and 2005 Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

On June 13, 2006, the Company executed a letter of intent to sell certain subsidiaries and net assets that collectively comprise the Company’s Construction Division, in a transaction valued at approximately $12.2 million, to a private investment group led by The Symonette Group. The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. The Company is in the process of negotiating definitive terms and conditions with respect to this divestiture but cannot provide assurances that it will be able to produce definitive agreements to which The Symonette Group will agree or, even if such agreement is reached, that it will be able to consummate the sale of the Company’s Construction Division. If the purchase price in the letter of intent remains unchanged, specific terms and conditions for the divestiture can be agreed to, and the transaction were completed, the Company anticipates it would record a pre-tax loss of approximately $2.6 million during the third quarter of 2006 related to the assets being disposed. Additionally, if the transaction is completed, only one significant operation of the Company’s construction and materials segments of business - the St. Martin/Sint Maarten quarry and redi-mix concrete materials operation would remain.

On June 26, 2006 the Company completed the sale of its Boca Raton-based third party monitoring operation which operated under the name of Central One and the associated monitoring center it acquired from Coastal Security systems to Lydia Security Monitoring, Inc., a New York corporation operating under the name C.O.P.S. Monitoring for $5.0 million in cash. The divested operation included approximately $325,000 of recurring monthly revenue and the net gain before taxes realized on the sold operations including the monitoring center was $1.1 million. After completion of the Boca Raton-based third party monitoring operation divestiture, the Company continues to monitor approximately $83,000 of recurring monthly revenue for customers which do not contract directly with the Company. This remaining third party monitoring revenue may also be acquired by Lydia providing certain conditions related to sale of monitoring rights can be achieved.

The carrying amount of financial instruments including cash, cash equivalents, the majority of the accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable trade and other, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and notes payable to banks approximated fair value at June 30, 2006, because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of debt and most notes receivable approximated fair value at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows. As more fully described in Note 16, Debt and Financial Derivatives, the value of the Warrants issued along with the $45 million of Notes to finance the Guardian acquisition, and the rights of the investors who bought the notes to exchange the notes for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement, were valued using an appropriate option pricing model and recorded as a discount to the Notes face value at issuance.

The Construction division’s trade accounts receivable includes retention billings of $3.8 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

In February 2006, one of the Company’s Antiguan subsidiaries declared and paid a $3.6 million gross dividend, of which $1.2 million was withheld for Antiguan withholding taxes. The withholding taxes were deemed paid by utilization of a portion of a $7.5 million tax credit received as part of a Satisfaction Agreement which was entered into between the Company, its Antiguan subsidiaries and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in December of 2004. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a non-cash foreign tax expense in the amount of $ 1.2 million. This $1.2 million tax expense was offset by deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million realized during the first six months.

Basic earnings-per-share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued, by application of the treasury stock method. No options were included in the computations of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of all outstanding options were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

For additional disclosures regarding the employee stock options, see Note 12 and the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K

The Company’s total comprehensive loss, comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

The Company adopted stock option plans for officers and employees in 1986, 1992 and 1999, and amended the 1999 plan in 2003. While each plan terminates 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination. Until 2009, options to acquire up to 600,000 shares, respectively, of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise, shares of new common stock are issued by the Company.

All stock options granted pursuant to the 1986 Plan which are not already exercisable vest and remain fully exercisable (1) on the date the optionee reaches 65 years of age and for the six-month period thereafter or as otherwise modified by the Company’s Board of Directors, (2) on the date of permanent disability of the optionee and for the six-month period thereafter, (3) on the date of a change of control and for the six-month period thereafter, and (4) on the date of termination of the optionee from employment by the Company without cause and for the six-month period after termination. Stock options granted under the 1992 and 1999 Plan vest and become exercisable in varying terms and periods set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options issued under the 1992 and 1999 Plan expire after 10 years.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R , “Shared-Based Payment” a revision of SFAS 123. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Bulletin No. 107 regarding an interpretation of SFAS 123R. The standard requires companies to expense the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company’s audited financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS 123R.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company did not issue any new option grants. During the three month period ended June 30, 2005, 179,624 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $1.2 million and 3,280 options vested with a fair value of $20,138. During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, 225,244 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $1.7 million and 17,280 options vested with a fair value of $135,678.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized $29,136 and $146,306, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in Selling, General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations) attributable to stock options vested subsequent to December 31, 2005. There were no option grants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $289,671 of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which will be recognized within the next 3.5 years. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” in accounting for stock-based employee compensation arrangements whereby compensation cost related to stock options was generally not recognized in determining net income and pro forma impact of compensation cost related to stock options was disclosed. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:

The Company’s pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005:

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

A summary of stock option activity is as follows for the six month period ended June 30, 2006:

The following sets forth the revenue and income before income taxes for each of the Company’s business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:

The Company maintains an accrual for retirement agreements with Company executives and certain other employees. This accrual is based on the life expectancy of these persons and an assumed weighted average discount rate of 5.04%. Should the actual longevity vary significantly from the United States insurance norms, or should the discount rate used to establish the present value of the obligation vary, the accrual may have to be significantly increased or diminished at that time. The net pension cost of the Company’s pension plans for the three and six months ending June 30, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

As a result of the divestiture of the Antiqua materials operations, the Company has no remaining foreign retirement plan.

For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company reported revenue for one Bahamian customer of 0.4% and 7.2% of total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company reported revenue for the same Bahamian customer of 0.5% and 11.3% of total revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the ongoing project for the above mentioned customer had backlog of $22,337. A subsidiary of the Company and one of the Company’s directors are minority partners, and the same director is a member of the managing committee of the entity developing this project.

For the period ended June 30, 2006, there were receivables from the customer mentioned above that represented 1.3% of consolidated receivables. The total receivable balance from this customer is made up of accounts receivable of $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2005, the total receivable from this customer was $2.5 million consisting of $0.3 million of current accounts receivable and $2.2 million of notes receivable. An additional customer related to a construction project in the Bahamas represented 15.7% or $3.4 million of the consolidated trade receivables. Of this balance, $1.0 million is retention and $0.2 million relates to our utility division. For the period ended June 30, 2006, there were no receivables from any other single customer that represented more than 10% of total receivables. Receivables are generally not collateralized. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers as determined by specific events or circumstances and by applying a percentage to the receivables within a specific aging category.

In order to finance the acquisition of Guardian, on March 6, 2006, the Company issued to certain investors under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes (the “Notes”) along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share (the “Warrants”). The Company also increased the amount of availability under the CapitalSource revolving credit facility from $70 million to $100 million and used $35.6 million under this facility together with the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and Warrants to purchase Guardian and repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $13.3 million of unused availability on the $100 million CapitalSource credit facility. Additionally, based on the credit facilities formula for availability to borrow, we had $2.7 million of additional borrowing capacity against the $13.3 million of availability as of June 30, 2006.

The Notes accrue interest, which is payable at maturity, at 8% per annum and mature on the earlier of September 15, 2006 or the date the Company issues the Preferred Stock described below, but, under no circumstances, later than January 1, 2007. The allowable circumstances for the maturity date to extend beyond September 15, 2006 to January 1, 2007 must arise in connection with the time which may be required for the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete its review of an Information Statement to be filed with the Commission on Schedule 14C and, for the Company to complete delivery of an Information Statement to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company currently anticipates, that in accordance with the terms of the SPA, the private placement investors will purchase an aggregate of 45,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, par value $.10 per share, to be issued by the Company with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share (the original purchase price per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends per share, and convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share. The conversion price and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The creation of a new class of Preferred Stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, the issuance of the Preferred Stock and common stock Warrants and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock, which could, upon issuance, equal an amount that is 20% or more of the Company’s common stock outstanding prior to the date of issuance, requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of the Company’s common stock approved the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock, the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the issuance of the common stock Warrants, and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Preferred Stock; however, this approval will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an information statement on Schedule 14C to the Company’s shareholders have been fully satisfied. The Company has filed a revised form 14C information statement for review by the Securities Exchange Commission and is awaiting the results of that review. We anticipate that the sale of the shares of Preferred Stock will take place in October, 2006 but not later than January 1, 2007.

The Preferred Stock to be issued and the Warrants are subject to a registration rights agreement, which imposes significant penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date as well as non-standard anti-dilution provisions. The conversion price of the Warrants and the Preferred Stock may be adjusted in certain circumstances, such as, if the Company pays a stock dividend, subdivide or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. Also, if the Company issues shares of common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the convertible preferred stock will be reduced accordingly.

The following freestanding and embedded derivative financial instruments were identified with the issuance of the Notes: i) the Warrants, which is a freestanding derivative, and ii) the right to purchase the Preferred Stock upon issuance (“the Right to Purchase”), which is a freestanding derivative instrument within the SPA.

The Company valued the Warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model (“the Model”). The Model determined an $8.6 million aggregate value for these derivatives and this value has been recorded as derivative instrument liability and classified as current or long term in accordance with respective maturity dates. Since these derivatives are associated with the Note, the face value of the Notes have been recorded net of the $8.6 million attributed to these derivative liabilities. At issuance, we expected the Notes to be converted to the Preferred Stock by July 31, 2006, so we initially began accreting the $8.6 million carrying value of the Notes, using the effective rate method, over the expected life of the Note estimated to be five (5) months. As of June 30, 2006 we estimated that it may take an additional month to complete review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to allow us to mail the information statement and issue the Preferred Stock, we changed our estimate for the life of the Notes to six (6) months. Accordingly, a non- cash charge amounting to $5.4 million has been recorded to interest expensed from the date of issuance through June 30, 2006. Additionally, the derivative liability amounts will be re-valued at each balance sheet date with the resulting change in value being recorded as a charge or credit to arrive at net income. From the date of issuance though June 30, 2006, an aggregate benefit of $6.8 million has been recorded with respect to the re-valuation of these derivatives liabilities.

The Model assumptions for revaluation of the Warrants and Rights to Purchase at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, were a risk free rate of 5.13% and 4.83% , respectively, and volatility for the Company’s common stock of 50% and 30%, respectively.

In the fall of 2000, Virgin Islands Cement and Building Products, Inc. (“VICBP”), a subsidiary of the Company, was under contract with the Virgin Islands Port Authority (“VIPA”) for the construction of the expansion of the St. Croix Airport. During the project, homeowners and residents of the Yellow Cedar Housing Community, located next to the end of the expansion project, claimed to have experienced several days of excessive dust in their area as a result of the ongoing construction work and have claimed damage to their property and personal injury. The homeowners of Yellow Cedar have filed two separate lawsuits for unspecified damages against VIPA and VICBP, as co-defendants. One suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands by Mariepaul Antoine, Benjamin Ashe, et. al, vs. VIPA et. al, case #2001,63 R/F, seeks equitable relief from nuisance, specific performance and damages. The second suit, Louisa Williams et. al vs. VIPA et. al filed in the Territorial Court of the U.S.V.I. case #548/2000 seeks equitable relief from nuisance, specific performance and damages. In both cases, VICBP, as defendant, has agreed to indemnify VIPA for any civil action as a result of the construction work.

The Company has brought a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of the Virgin Islands to determine whether or not there is coverage under the primary policy.

Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), the insurer for the primary general liability policy for VICBP during that period, has taken the legal position that “dust” is a pollutant and, therefore, the pollution exclusion clause applies and as a result denies liability insurance coverage to VICPA. The Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance in rehabilitation in October 2001, and subsequently into liquidation. The Company has also presented claims under the policy to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, the V.I. Insurance Guaranty Association, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, and to the Company’s excess liability insurance carrier, Zurich Insurance Company. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate the Company’s potential, if any, risk of loss.

Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets has been impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit alleged that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by the Company if the contract continued for the entire potential term and the Company continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by the Company on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and the Company entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

In connection with financing the acquisition of Coastal Security Services in November 2005, the Company entered into a $70 million revolving credit agreement with CapitalSource Finance LLC (“Capital Source”) replacing in full the revolving credit facility the Company formerly maintained with CIT Financial USA, Inc. The specific terms of the CapitalSource revolving credit facility are more specifically described in Note 16 of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has signed a non-recourse performance guarantee with CapitalSource and pledged, as collateral, the Company’s stock in DSH. Subsequently, in connection with the March 2006 acquisition of Guardian, the Company increased the facility with CapitalSource to $100 million.

Additionally, under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, an aggregate principal amount of $45 million of notes along with warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,650,943 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.925 per share and an expiration date of March 6, 2009 were issued. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors are anticipated to subsequently receive 45,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, which shares will have a par value $.10 per share, a liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share (the original purchase price per share) plus accrued dividends per share at a rate of 8% per annum, and will be convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share of common stock. The specific terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, notes, warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are more specifically described in Note 16 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the event of certain triggering events, the interest rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the conversion rate can be changed. Those triggering events include i) leverage ratio targets that start at 6.5X reducing to 5X on specified dates; ii) failure by the Company to cause a registration statement regarding the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants to be declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approximately 110 days after the issuance of the Preferred Stock (approximately 155 days if there is a full review by the SEC); iii) lapse of such registration statement or suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock by the Securities and Exchange Commission for 5 consecutive days or 10 days in any year period; and iv) a change in control.

On September 30, 2005, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, V.I. Cement & Building Products, Inc. completed the sale of its U.S. Virgin Islands material operations to Heavy Materials, LLC, a U.S. Virgin Islands limited liability company and private investor group (“Purchaser”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 15, 2005, for $10.7 million in cash plus the issuance of a promissory note (the “Note”) to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $2.6 million. The Note has a term of three years bearing interest at 5% per annum with only interest being paid quarterly in arrears during the first 12 months and principal and accrued interest being paid quarterly (principal being paid in 8 equal quarterly installments) for the remainder of the term of the Note until the maturity date. The materials division operating results of VI Cement & Building Products, Inc. have been reclassified in the 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated and 2005 Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

On March 2, 2006, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigua Masonry Products, Ltd. and its subsidiary, Antigua Cement Ltd (together “AMP”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with A. Hadeed, a private investor, or his nominee, and Gary O’Rourke, under which it completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AMP. In connection with this sale, the purchasers acknowledged that preferred shares of AMP with a face value equal to EC 1,436,485 (US $532,032) as of the date of the sale (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) are outstanding and owned beneficially and of record by certain third parties and that such Preferred Shares are reflected as debt on AMP’s books and records. The purchasers further acknowledged that their acquisition of AMP was subject to the Preferred Shares and that the purchasers have sole responsibility of satisfying and discharging all obligations represented by such Preferred Shares, which represents an aggregate amount slightly in excess of $500,000. Under the terms of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchasers acquired 493,051 common shares of AMP for a purchase price equal to $5.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. Proceeds of $4.6 million were realized due to retention of cash on hand with

AMP at the date of sale. This purchase price was paid entirely in cash. In addition, the transaction included transfers of certain assets from the Antigua operations to the Company, as well as pre-closing transfers to AMP of certain preferred shares in AMP that were owned by the Company. The purchasers agreed to pay all taxes incurred as a result of the sale. The operating results of AMP have been reclassified in the 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated and 2005 Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

On May 2, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the fixed assets and substantially all of the inventory of its Joint Venture assets of Puerto Rico Crushing Company (“PRCC”), to Mr. Jose Criado, through a company controlled by Mr. Criado for a purchase price of $700,000 cash and a two-year 5% note in an amount equal to the value of the inventory as of the closing date. Additionally, as part of the sale agreement, Mr. Criado assumed substantially all employee-related severance costs and liabilities arising from the lease agreement (including reclamation and leveling) for the quarry land. The net proceeds of the sale approximated the net book value of the related assets after giving effect to an impairment charge of approximately $0.9 million recorded by the Company on the long-lived assets of PRCC at December 31, 2005.

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all the periods presented have been adjusted to classify the U.S Virgin Islands, Antigua material and Puerto Rico operations as discontinued operations. Selected statement of operations data for the Company’s discontinued operations is as follows :

A summary of the total assets of discontinued operations recorded on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

In addition, we may have exposure to liability in connection with pending disputes in which the Company is involved; see “Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings”

As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $9.9 million, negative working capital of $30.2 million and available lines of credit of $13.3 million. Total outstanding liabilities were $176.4 million as of June 30, 2006, compared to $101.8 million as of December 31, 2005. The negative working capital results from our current liabilities, including $41.8 million of notes payable and $1.8 million of derivative instruments. The original value of the derivative instruments, which is more fully described in Note 16 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, is recorded as debt discount and is being accreted over the expected term of the notes, or 6 months. The Company expects that the notes payable will be exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which are more fully described below. If the notes are not exchanged as expected, they become due and payable on January 1, 2007. In such an event, the Company would have to identify and obtain financing to fund the maturity of the notes. The Company believes that the exchange of the notes for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will occur as a result of the actions described in management’s discussion and analysis of liquidity and capital resources for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the notes payable and financial derivatives, the Company has $13.4 million of working capital as of June 30, 2006.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K. Dollar amounts of $1.0 million or more are rounded to the nearest one tenth of a million; all other dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars and all percentages are stated to the nearest one tenth of one percent.

forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and the following:

The Company’s discussion of its financial condition and results of operations is an analysis of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), consistently applied. Although the Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the following discussion is intended to describe those accounting policies and estimates most critical to the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowance for credit losses, inventories and loss reserve for inventories, cost to complete construction contracts, assets held-for-sale, intangible assets, changes in derivative instrument value, income taxes, taxes on un-repatriated earnings, warranty obligations, impairment charges, business divestitures, pensions, deferral compensation and other employee benefit plans or arrangements, environmental matters, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue in the security division for repair and installation services, for which no monitoring contract is connected, is recognized when the services are performed.

Revenue in the security division for monitoring services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. We assess the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. Nonrefundable installation charges and a portion of related direct costs to acquire the monitoring contract, such as sales commissions, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of a new subscriber relationship, which we have estimated at 10 years. If the site being monitored is disconnected prior the original expected life is completed, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation and direct costs to acquire are expensed.

Revenue for the materials division is recognized when the products are delivered (FOB Destination), invoiced at a fixed price and the collectibility is reasonably assured.

Provisions are recognized in the statement of income for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue. Contract cost is recorded as incurred and revisions in contract revenue and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. We estimate costs to complete our construction contracts based on experience from similar work completed in the past. If the conditions of the work to be performed change or if the estimated costs are not accurately projected, the gross profit from construction contracts may vary significantly in the future. The foregoing, as well as weather, stage of completion and mix of contracts at different margins may cause fluctuations in gross profit between periods and these fluctuations may be significant.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from management’s review and assessment of our customers’ ability to make required payments. We consider the age of specific accounts and a customer’s payment history. For our construction and materials divisions, specific collateral given by the customer to secure the receivable is obtained when we determine necessary. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

We determine the lives of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Some of these assets, such as goodwill, which we determine to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FASB 142. This testing is based on subjective analysis and may change from time to time. We tested goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on June 30, 2006 and will test for impairment annually each June 30. Other identifiable intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The review of impairment and estimation of useful life is subjective and may change from time to time.

Customer accounts are stated at fair value based on the discounted cash flows over the estimated life of the customer contracts and relationships. The Company uses independent appraisal firms to perform a valuation study at the time of acquisition to determine the value and estimated life of customer accounts purchased in order to assist management in determining an appropriate method in which to amortize the asset. The amortization life is based on historic analysis of customer relationships combined with estimates of expected future revenues from customer accounts. The Company amortizes customer accounts on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the customer accounts, which varies from 4 to 17, years and records an additional charge equal to the remaining unamortized value of the customer account for accounts which discontinued service before the expected life. The additional charge for discontinued accounts is equal to the remaining net book value of the customer contract and relationship for the specific customer account canceled.

for such exposure which approximates the amounts set forth in the EDC notice. In September 2005 and 2004, the statute of limitations with respect to the income tax return filed by us for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, expired. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2005 and 2004, we reversed $37,440 and $2.3 million, respectively, of the tax accrual established at December 31, 2003. We will work with the EDC regarding this matter and if challenged by the U.S. Virgin Islands taxing authority, would vigorously contest its position.

Freestanding and embedded financial instrument derivatives, which have been identified in connection with financial instruments issued, are valued at the time of issuance using an appropriate option pricing model and recorded as an asset or liability based upon the terms and conditions of the derivative instrument identified. When a host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative, and these derivatives require bifurcation, the bifurcated derivative instruments are valued as a single compound derivative instrument. The valuation model utilized requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the derivative instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the respective derivative instrument. The derivatives which are identified are re-valued at the end of each reporting period utilizing the same model used to value the derivatives at the time of issuance, and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. When a financial instrument derivative is classified as a liability, and is connected with a host instrument obligation, the related host instrument obligation is recorded after applying an appropriate discount equal to the value of the derivative (the “Discount”). In addition, the Discount is accreted to the face value of the respective host instrument obligation, utilizing the effective rate method, and, accordingly, an additional non-cash charge is recorded as interest expense or a reduction of net income to arrive at income attributable to common shareholders depending on the respective balance sheet classification of the host instrument obligation.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amended the compliance date to adopt SFAS 123R, effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123, for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, except that entities also are allowed to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The Company has chosen to use the “modified prospective” method as explained in Note 12 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comparison Of Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 With Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

In the second quarter of 2006, our consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to $28.6 million, an increase of $9.4 million, or approximately a 48.6% increase when compared to revenue in the second quarter 2005 of $19.2 million. This revenue increase was principally due to an increase of $10.5 million recorded by our Security Services division. The increase in Security division revenue was a result of our

acquisitions of Coastal Security Company (“Coastal”) and Guardian International, Inc. (“Guardian”), which occurred on November 10, 2005 and March 6, 2006, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The results of these operations are included in our financial statements only from their respective acquisition dates. Operating loss for the second quarter 2006 increased $0.8 million to a $2.9 million loss when compared to a $2.1 million loss in the second quarter of 2005. This increase in operating loss of $0.8 million was principally due to an increase in gross profit of $5.5 million for our Security Services division offset by an increase in total operating expenses of $6.5 million, which amounts includes $5.0 million of amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships, and operating income incurred by our Construction division amounting to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared to operating income of $0.3 million during the comparable period in 2005. Other income (expense) increased $1.5 million to a net income of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from an expense of $0.3 million for the same period in 2005. Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 decreased $1.2 million to a net loss of $0.4 million when compared to a net loss for the second quarter of 2005 of $1.6 million.

Our revenue from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $28.5 million as compared to $19.2 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $10.5 million recorded by our Security Services division.

Revenue from our Security Services division amounted to $15.0 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $4.5 million for second quarter of 2005. This revenue increase arises as a result of our acquisitions of the electronic security services operations of Coastal and Guardian on November 10, 2005 and March 6, 2006, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting and the results of these operations are included in our financial statements only from their respective acquisition dates. In addition, during the second quarter of 2006, the Security Services division recorded a net gain of $0.8 million associated with the sale of the third party monitoring business and previously disposed monitoring contracts and incurred in excess of $0.4 million of non- recurring costs in order to transfer monitoring operations to the Security Services division’s Holly facility, which transfer took place on July 11, 2006.

Our Construction division revenue decreased approximately 11.3% to $9.3 million during the second quarter of 2006, when compared to $10.5 million for the comparable period in 2005. This revenue was principally generated by construction contracts in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Our backlog of contracts at June 30, 2006 was $14.2 million, involving 18 contracts. The Company expects that most of the $14.2 million backlog will be completed during 2006. The Company is actively bidding and negotiating additional projects in areas throughout the Caribbean and, since June 30, 2006, the division has added $8.6 million of additional construction contracts or change orders.

Our Materials division revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.2 million, or 5.9%, to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2006 from $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2005. Following the completed sale of the US Virgin Islands, Antigua and Puerto Rico materials operations, which were completed on September 30, 2005, March 2, 2006 and May 2, 2006 respectively, our Materials division consists solely of our quarry and concrete and aggregates operation on the island of St. Martin. Revenue for our St Martin operations for the second quarter of 2006 increased $0.2 million to $4.0 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and was attributable to an increase in sales of aggregates and increases in both the price and volume of concrete.

Other revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 consisted of $166,000 and 335,000 respectively associated with our DevMat utilities services joint venture.

Cost of Security, as a percentage of Security Services revenue, was 46.0% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 42.6% for the second quarter of 2005, or a difference of 3.4%. Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2006 and cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2005 are not directly comparable as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in revenues and related costs of acquired businesses in the second quarter of 2006. Included in the cost of security are the direct costs incurred to monitor and service security systems installed at subscriber premises, as well as the net direct costs incurred with the installation of new security systems, after taking into consideration the effects of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

Cost of Construction as a percentage of Construction revenue increased 0.9% to 88.5% during the second quarter of 2006 from 87.6% percent during the same period in 2005.

Cost of Materials as a percentage of Materials revenue decreased 10.3% to 85.9% during the second quarter of 2006 from 96.3% during the same period in 2005. This was the result of increased revenue per yard on our cement sales and the increased volume for our quarry operations.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A expense”) combined with severance and retirement increased $6.5 million during the second quarter of 2006 to $12.8 million when compared to $6.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase of $6.5 million was due to increases in the SG&A expenses in the Security Services division of $7.0 million resulting from the acquired businesses of Coastal and Guardian. Included in the $7.0 million increase of operating expenses is an increase of $4.1 million for non-cash charges for amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships in accordance with FASB No. 142.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $2.9 million compared to an operating loss of $2.1 million for the comparable period in 2005, or an increased loss of $0.8 million. The increased loss was mainly attributable to an increase in non-cash charges for amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships in accordance with FASB No. 142.

Other income (expense) amounted to a $1.2 million income for the second quarter of 2006 compared to an expense of $0.3 million for the same period in 2005. This $1.2 million income is due to an $8.3 million benefit in fair market value associated with the derivative liability which was issued in connection with financing the acquisition of Guardian. This other income was offset by an increase in net interest expense of $6.8 million resulting from increased debt issued to finance the acquisitions of, Coastal and Guardian.

Income tax benefit (expense) was a deferred tax benefit of $1.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to a benefit of $0.9 million for the same quarter in 2005. The deferred tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was mainly related to realization of a deferred tax liability associated with the Security Services division’s customer list valuation.

Comparison Of Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 With Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to $52.4 million, an increase of $18.1 million, or approximately a 52.9% increase when compared to revenue of $34.3 million during the first six months of 2005. This revenue increase was principally due to an increase of $19.1 million recorded by our Security Services division. The increase in Security division revenue was a result of our acquisitions of Starpoint Limited (“Starpoint”), Coastal and Guardian, which occurred on February 28, 2005, November 10, 2005 and March 6, 2006, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting. The results of these operations are included in our financial statements only from their respective acquisition dates. Operating loss for the first six months of 2006 increased $6.7 million to a $9.1 million loss when compared to a $2.4 million loss in the first six months of 2005. This increase in operating loss of $6.7 million was principally due to an increase in gross profit of $10.1 million for our Security Services division resulting from the our acquisitions in Security Services offset by an increase in total operating expenses of $13.0 million, which amounts includes $7.2 million increase of amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships. Additionally an operating loss incurred by our Construction division amounting to $2.7 million in the six months of 2006, compared to operating income of $2.3 million during the comparable period in 2005, was mainly the result of losses incured by the Construction Division on two construction contracts in the 1^st Quarter of 2006. The Construction Division reported 73,000 of operating profit in the Secord quarter of 2006. Other income (expense) increased $1.6 million to a net expense of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from an expense of $0.3 million for the same period in 2005. Net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $5.8 million to a net loss of $9.6 million when compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2005.

Our revenue from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $52.4 million as compared to $34.3 million during the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $19.1 million recorded by our Security Services division.

Revenue from our Security Services division amounted to $25.6 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to $6.5 million for the same period of 2005. This revenue increase arises as a result of our acquisitions of the electronic security services operations of Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian on February 28, 2005 November 10, 2005 and March 6, 2006, respectively. These acquisitions were accounted for utilizing the purchase method of accounting and the results of these operations are included in our financial statements only from their respective acquisition dates.

Our Construction division revenue decreased approximately 8.4% to $18.1 million during the first six months of 2006, when compared to $19.8 million for the comparable period in 2005. This revenue was principally generated by construction contracts in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Our backlog of contracts at June 30, 2006 was $14.5 million, involving 18 contracts. The Company expects that most of the $14.5 million backlog will be completed during 2006. The Company is actively bidding and negotiating additional projects in areas throughout the Caribbean and the division has added $8.6 million of additional construction contracts or change orders, since June 30, 2006.

Our Materials division revenue for the first six months of 2005 increased $0.8 million, or 11.5%, to $8.3 million compared to $7.5 million for the first six months of 2005. Following the completed sale of the US Virgin Islands, Antigua and Puerto Rico materials operations, which were completed on September 30, 2005, March 2, 2006 and May 2, 2006 respectively, our Materials division consists solely of our quarry and concrete and aggregates operation on the island of St. Martin. Revenue for our St Martin operations for the second quarter of 2006 increased $0.9 million to $8.3 million from $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 , and was attributable to an increase in sales of aggregates and concrete.

Other revenue in the first six months consisted of $348,000 associated with our DevMat utilities services joint venture.

Cost of Security, as a percentage of Security Services revenue, was 45.7% for the first six months of 2006 compared to 41.8% for first six months of 2005, or a difference of 3.9%. The difference in cost of revenues for the first six months of 2006 and the same period of 2005 are not directly comparable as a percentage of revenue due to the increase in revenues and related costs of acquired businesses in the second quarter of 2006. Included in the cost of security are the direct costs incurred to monitor and service security systems installed at subscriber premises, as well as the net direct costs incurred with the installation of new security systems, after taking into consideration the effects of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

Cost of Construction as a percentage of Construction revenue increased 24.2% to 103.8% during the first six months of 2006 from 79.6% percent during the same period in 2005. The increase is mainly attributed to a $1.3 million increase in the projected loss on a marina project in the Virgin Islands, which is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2006, and a $0.3 million loss on a dredging job due to delays and expenses not reimbursed under the contract with the customer. In addition, current construction jobs are operating at lower margins that the first six months of 2005.

Cost of Materials as a percentage of Materials revenue decreased 9.9% to 86.0% during the first six months of 2006 from 95.9% during the same period in 2005. This was the result of increased revenue per yard on our concrete sales and the increased volume for our quarry operations.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A expense”) combined with severance and retirement increased $13.1 million during the first six months of 2006 to $23.8 million when compared to $10.7 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase of $13.1 million was due to increases in the Security Services division of $16.8 million resulting from the acquired businesses of Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian combined with an increase of other unallocated corporate overhead of $1.1 million. Included in the $13.1 million increase of Security Services operating expenses is an increase of $7.2 million for non-cash charges for amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships in accordance with FASB No. 142. The unallocated corporate overhead was mainly due to an increase in rent expense of $0.3 million and stock option expense of $0.2 million in accordance with FAS 123R.

Operating loss for the first six months of 2006 amounted to $9.1 million compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million for the comparable period in 2005, or an increased loss of $6.8 million. The increased loss was mainly attributable to the reduced profitability of the Construction division of $5.0 million, the increase in unallocated administration cost, and the increase in operating loss in the Security Services division due to the increase for non-cash charges for amortization and impairment of acquired customer contracts and relationships in accordance with FASB No. 142.

Other income (expense) amounted to a $1.9 million expense for the first six months of 2006 compared to an expense of $0.3 million for the same period in 2005. This $1.9 million expense is due to a $6.7 million benefit in fair market value associated with the derivative liability which was issued in connection with financing the acquisition of Guardian offset by an increase in interest expense of $11.2 million resulting from increased debt issued to finance the acquisitions of Starpoint, Coastal and Guardian, respectively. This was further offset by the recognition of an additional $1.2 million benefit from the December 2004 settlement of a note receivable from the Antigua and Barbuda government.

Income tax benefit (expense) was a benefit of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an expense of ($1.0) million for the same six month period in 2005. In February 2006, one of the Company’s Antiguan subsidiaries declared and paid a $3.6 million gross dividend, of which $1.2 million was withheld for Antiguan withholding taxes. The withholding taxes were deemed paid by utilization of a portion of a $7.5 million tax credit received as part of a Satisfaction Agreement which was entered into between the Company, its Antiguan subsidiaries and the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in December of 2004. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized a non cash foreign tax expense in the amount of $ 1.2 million which was offset by deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million realized during the first six months of 2006.

We generally fund our working capital needs from operations and bank borrowings. In the electronic security services business, monitoring services are typically billed in advance on either a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Installations of new security systems for residential customers typically result in a net investment in the customer, whereas installations of new security systems for commercial projects typically have neutral to positive cash flow. In the construction business, we expend considerable funds for equipment, labor and supplies. In the construction division, our capital needs are greatest at the start of a new contract, since we generally must complete 45 to 60 days of work before receiving the first progress payment. As a project continues, a portion of the progress billing is usually withheld as retainage until the work is complete. We have historically provided long term financing to certain customers who have previously utilized our construction services. During the first quarter of 2006, we did not finance any construction contracts while in the first quarter of 2005, we financed $1.6 million of construction contracts. Repayments by customers are due at different times within the next three years. Accounts receivable for the materials operation are typically established with terms between 30 and 45 days. Our business requires a continuing investment in plant and equipment, along with the related maintenance and upkeep costs.

We believe our cash flow from operations, existing working capital and funds available from lines of credit are adequate to meet our operating needs in 2006. Historically, we have used a number of lenders to finance a portion of our machinery and equipment purchases. At June 30, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding to these lenders.

For certain new contracts, our construction customers require we issue a bid or performance bond for the value of a contract. Bonding company’s use, among other measures, tangible net worth to determine eligibility for underwriting the bonds. Because of the value of intangible assets acquired in our security services acquisitions, the cost of obtaining construction related bonds has increased significantly. Although we believe this may prevent us from obtaining certain contracts in the future, we believe our experience and existing presence in the Caribbean geographic area will provide an adequate level of comfort to allow our backlog of construction contracts to remain stable. On occasion, Devcon International Corp., ultimate parent to our subsidiaries that comprise our construction division has been required to provide a guarantee of performance to obtain a contract.

As of June 30, 2006, our liquidity and capital resources included cash and cash equivalents of $9.9 million, negative working capital of $30.2 million and available lines of credit of $13.3 million. Total outstanding liabilities were $176.4 million as of June 30, 2006, compared to $101.8 million as of December 31, 2005. The negative working capital results from our current liabilities, including $41.8 million of notes payable and $1.8 million of derivative instruments. The $1.8 million of derivative instruments, which is more fully described in Note 16 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, are recorded as debt discount and will be accreted over the expected term of the notes, or 6 months. We expect that the notes payable will be exchanged for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which are more fully described below. If the notes are not exchanged as expected, they become due and payable on January 1, 2007. In such an event, the Company would have to identify and obtain financing to fund the maturity of the notes. The Company believes

that the exchange of the notes for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will occur as a result of the actions described below. Excluding the notes payable and financial derivatives, the Company has $13.4 million of working capital as of March 31, 2006.

Cash flow used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $2.6 million compared with cash used of $2.9 million for the same period in 2005. The primary sources of cash for operating activities during the first six months was notes receivable of $2.2 million and cost in excess of billing of $1.4 million. The primary use of cash from operating activities was a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $4.2 million and other long term assets of $2.9 million.

Our accounts receivable averaged 59 days of sales outstanding (DSO) as of June 30, 2006. This is an increase of 16 days compared to 43 days at the end of December 2005. Our security services segment averaged 45 days, while our construction segment and St Martin materials operations averaged 96 and 46 days respectively.

On June 6, 1991, the Company issued an unsecured, prime rate interest bearing, promissory note, in favor of Donald L. Smith, Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Smith”), in the aggregate principal amount at the time of issuance of $2.1 million, with a maturity date of January 1, 2004 (the “Smith Note”). Subsequently the maturity date of the Smith Note was extended by the parties until October 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2006, $1.7 million was outstanding under the Smith Note. Under the terms of a guarantee agreement dated March 10, 2004, between the Company and Mr. Smith where Mr. Smith, amongst others, agreed to guaranty certain loan notes receivable due from EBR Holding Limited ( “EBRH’), amounting to $2.2 million at that time, Mr. Smith agreed to maintain collateral for these guarantees in the amount of $1.8 million. The balance due to Mr. Smith under the Smith Note served as collateral for the aforementioned required amount.

The Company in May 2006 restructured and satisfied the Smith Note and all notes due from EBRH (the “EBR Notes”). In May 2006, the Company entered into two agreements, one of which (the “Smith Note Agreement”) was amongst the Company, and Mr. Smith and the other agreement (the “EBR Note Agreement”) was amongst the Company, EBRH, EBR Properties Limited and Emerald Bay Resort & Co. (collectively, “EBR”). Under the terms of the Smith Note Agreement, Mr. Smith agreed to cancel the Smith Note in exchange for the Company’s assignment to Mr. Smith of certain notes EBR had previously issued to the Company with an aggregate amount due from EBR at time of assignment equal to $1.0 million plus accrued interest. As part of this restructuring the Company also made a cash payment of $458,525 to Mr. Smith in satisfaction of all remaining amounts now due under the Smith Note. This restructuring satisfied all amounts due under the all notes due from EBRH. In addition, as part of this restructuring, the Company received $56,000 in cash from EBRH, and EBR agreed to use its good faith efforts to transfer to the Company an approximately 14% interest which EBR had in a redi-mix batch plant which the Company controls in Great Exuma, Bahamas. The Company has also agreed to surrender the minority equity interest the Company held in EBR.

The Company has entered into retirement agreements with certain existing and retired executives of the Company. The net present value of future liabilities for these arrangements as of June 30, 2006 was $3.1 million, of which $1.6 million is for the former Chairman. The Company has used an average discount rate of 5.0 percent and standard mortality tables to estimate these liabilities.

As part of the 1995, subsequently renegotiated in 1999, acquisition of Société des Carriéres de Grand Case (“SCGC”), a French company operating a ready-mix concrete plant and quarry in St. Martin, the Company agreed to pay the quarry owners, who were also the owners of SCGC, a royalty payment of $550,000 per year through July 2004 and rent of $50,000 per year through October 2004. The agreements cover a 15-year period, but may be cancelled at either party’s option in 2004 and 2005, respectively. In May 2004, the Company entered into discussions about terminating the lease and to stop the quarry operations on St. Martin. In June 2004, the quarry owner terminated the lease contract as of October 27, 2004, and terminated a material supply contract. The landlord has commenced certain proceedings with respect to the foregoing. The Company has continued its discussions with the landlord, as further described in Contingent Liabilities. The Company accrued for quarry restoration costs and recognized an impairment charge on the assets in the first quarter of 2003 and does not expect any further impairment, restoration costs or closing costs, except for possible severance cost depending of the future actions of the parties.

On March 6, 2006, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 9, 2005, we and Devcon Acquisition, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a merger (the “Merger”) in which we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Guardian, for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $65.5 million in cash.

In order to finance the Merger, on March 6, 2006, we also (i) closed a private placement of the Notes described below and Warrants under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, and (ii) through DSH, increased our credit line (the “Credit Agreement”) from $70 million to $100 million under our revolving credit facility with CapitalSource. Most of the proceeds from the Notes, the Warrants and the draw down under the increased Credit Agreement were used to acquire Guardian. The remaining proceeds were used to repay the $8 million CapitalSource Bridge Loan, which was issued in November 2005, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of June 30, 2006, we had $13.3 million unused availability on our $100 million CapitalSource credit facility. Additionally, based on the borrowing base formula used to determine the amount that is availabile to borrow, we had $2.7 million of additional borrowing capacity against the $13.3 million of availability as of June 30, 2006.

We anticipate that, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the private placement investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), par value $0.10 per share, of Devcon with a liquidation preference equal to $1,000, a dividend rate equal to 8% per annum, convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to $9.54 per share for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants will be subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The creation of a new class of preferred stock is subject to shareholder approval under Florida law, while, the issuance of the Preferred Stock and common stock Warrants and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Series A convertible preferred stock, which could, upon issuance, equal an amount that is 20% or more of our common stock outstanding prior to the date of issuance, requires shareholder approval under the rules of Nasdaq. On February 10, 2006, holders of more than 50% of our common stock approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation creating a new class of preferred stock, the issuance of the Preferred Stock and the subsequent issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the exercise of the common stock Warrants or distribution of any dividends paid in the form of common stock on the Preferred Stock; however, this approval will not be effective until the Securities Exchange Commission rules and regulations relating to the delivery of an information statement on Schedule 14C to our shareholders have been fully satisfied. We anticipate that the sale of the shares of Preferred Stock will take place in October, 2006 but not later than January 1, 2007.

The Company’s policies and codes provide that related party transactions be approved in advance by either the Audit Committee or a majority of disinterested directors.

The Company leases from the wife of Mr. Donald L. Smith, Jr., a Director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, a 1.8-acre parcel of real property in Deerfield Beach, Florida. This property is being used for our equipment logistics and maintenance activities. The property is subject to a 5-year lease entered into on January 2002 providing for rent of $95,000 per year. This rent was based on comparable rental contracts for similar properties in Deerfield Beach, as evaluated by management.

The Company has entered into various construction and payment deferral agreements with an entity which owns and manages a resort project in the Bahamas in which Mr. Donald L. Smith Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and a subsidiary of the Company are minority partners owning 11.3 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively. Mr. Smith is also a member of the entity’s managing committee.

During the second quarter of 2005, after receiving approval by our Audit Committee, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a $3.0 million agreement to construct a residence on a parcel of property located within the resort complex know has Emerald Bay Resorts on the island of Exuma, Bahamas. Donald L. Smith, Jr., a director and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Smith”), is a party to this agreement and has a 50% interest in the ownership of the land on which the residence is being constructed together with one other party who has the remaining 50% interest in the ownership of this land , as well as a controlling interest in the resort project in the Bahamas. Mr. Smith has a minority interest in the resort and also sits on committees which govern the affairs of the resort. Mr. Smith and his partner have agreed to share in all profits if any, generated by this parcel in accordance with their respective interests. As a result of change orders to the scope of the work to be performed, the total amounts which can be invoiced by the Company with respect to this project has increased to $3.2 million as of June 30, 2006. Due to various delays in construction, as well as additional time required to complete the project, we have estimated that the cost to complete the residence is currently $3.6 million. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies the Company has recorded a loss of $0.4 million in its June 2006 operating results. Since June 2005, the month in which the project started, through June 30, 2006, the Company has recorded revenue of $0.9 million with respect to this project and as at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the accounts receivable outstanding attributable to this project amounted to $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The billing in excess of cost amounted to $0.5 million at June 30, 2006 and the cost in excess billings amounted to $20,000 at December 31, 2005.

On July 30, 2004, the Company purchased an electronic security services company managed and controlled by Mr. Ruzika, our CEO, for approximately $4.7 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments after the closing. The initial allocation of the assets of the company purchased was based on fair value and included $70,000 of working capital, $306,000 of property, plant and equipment, $2.6 million of customer contracts, $356,000 of deferred tax assets and $1.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles. The Company assumed $277,000 of deferred revenue liability. The Company paid the purchase price with a combination of $2.5 million in cash and 214,356 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, on October 5, 2005, 13,718 shares were issued upon finalization of the purchase price adjustments.

Mr. James R. Cast, a former director, through his tax and consulting practice, has provided services to us for more than ten years. The Company paid Mr. Cast $59,400 and $59,400 for consulting services provided to the Company in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, Mr. Cast resigned from the Board of Directors in January 2006. Before resigning, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for tax and consulting services to be performed during 2006 for a specified number of consulting hours and for the total amount of $75,000.

On August 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2005 (the “Management Agreement”), with Royal Palm Capital Management, LLLP (“Royal Palm”), to provide management services. Royal Palm Capital Management, LLP is an affiliate of Coconut Palm Capital Investors I Ltd.

Richard Rochon and Mario Ferrari, two of the Company’s directors, are principals of Coconut Palm and Royal Palm. Robert Farenhem is a principal of Royal Palm and was the Company’s interim CFO from April 2005 until December 2005.

The management services to be provided include, among other things, assisting the Company with, among other matters, establishing certain office, accounting and administrative procedures, obtaining financing relating to business operations and acquisitions, developing and implementing advertising, promotional and marketing programs, facilitating certain securities matters (both proposed offerings and ongoing compliance issues) and future acquisitions and dispositions, developing tax planning strategies, and formulating risk management policies. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Royal Palm a management fee in the amount of $30,000 per month. In connection with this Agreement, we incurred $274,702 during the year ended December 31, 2005 and $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates results from the variable rate of our senior secured revolving credit facility with CapitalSource, as an increase in interest rates would result in lower earnings and increased cash outflows. The interest rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility is payable at variable rates indexed to either LIBOR or the Base Rate. The effect of each 1% increase in the LIBOR rate and the Base Rate on our senior secured revolving credit facility would result in an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $0.9 million. Based on the U.S. yield curve as of March 31, 2006 and other available information, we project interest expense on our variable rate debt to increase approximately $0.06, $0.03, $0.0 and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively

The Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, who is also acting as our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation examined the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer , as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, LLP (“KPMG”), communicated to the Company’s management and Audit Committee that certain matters involving the Company’s internal controls were considered to be “material weaknesses”, as defined under the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB. These matters pertained to (i) inadequate polices and procedures with respect to review and oversight of financial results to ensure that accurate consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed on a timely basis, (ii) inadequate number of individuals with US GAAP experience and (iii) inadequate review of account reconciliations, analyses and journal entries. The Company concurred with this communication.

The Company is committed to continuously improving its internal controls and financial reporting. Since December 31, 2005, management has met with its Audit Committee and its former independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, to review the specific details of the material weaknesses in internal control and determine short term and longer term plans to remediate those weaknesses with the ultimate goal of meeting the formalized requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In order to remediate the material weaknesses described above, the Company’s management and its Audit Committee have taken or is in the process of taking the following steps:

The Company believes the implementation of the above measures will appropriately address the matters identified by the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm and concurred with by management as material weaknesses. This process is ongoing, however, and the Company’s management and its Audit Committee will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures on a continual basis and will take further action as appropriate.

We are involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, primarily in connection with our Construction division.

The Company has brought a declaratory judgment action in the District Court of the Virgin Islands to determine whether or not there is coverage under the primary policy.

Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”), the insurer for the primary general liability policy for VICBP during that period, has taken the legal position that “dust” is a pollutant and, therefore, the pollution exclusion clause applies and as a result denies liability insurance coverage to VICPA. The Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance in rehabilitation in October 2001, and subsequently into liquidation. We have also presented claims under the policy to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, the V.I. Insurance Guaranty Association, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner, and to our excess liability insurance carrier, Zurich Insurance Company. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this matter or to estimate our potential, if any, risk of loss.

payment and also advised that it would not renew the 1999 lease when it expired on October 27, 2004. Petit refused to accept the remainder of the quarterly payment from the Company in the amount of $45,000. Without prior notice to BBW, Petit obtained orders to impound BBW assets on St. Martin (the French side) and Sint Maarten (the Dutch side). The assets sought to be impounded include bank accounts and receivables. BBW has no assets on St. Martin, but approximately $341,000 of its assets were impounded on Sint Maarten. In obtaining the orders, Petit claimed that $7.6 million is due on the supply agreement (the full payment that would be due by the Company if the contract continued for the entire potential term and the Company continued to mine the quarry), $2.7 million is due for quarry restoration and $3.7 million is due for pain and suffering. The materials supply agreement provided that it could be terminated by the Company on July 31, 2004.

In February 2005, SCGC, BBW and the Company entered into agreements with Petit, which provided for the following:

We are involved, on a continuing basis, in monitoring our compliance with environmental laws and in making capital and operating improvements necessary to comply with existing and anticipated environmental requirements. While it is impossible to predict with certainty, management currently does not foresee such expenses in the future as having a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Information about risk factors for the three months ended June 30, 2006, does not differ materially from those in set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, except for the following additional Risk Factor:

In addition, the following embedded derivatives have been identified within the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if and when it is issued upon exchange for the notes:

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Warrants, the Right to Purchase and any other embedded derivatives must be revalued from time to time as of each applicable balance sheet date and marked to market with resulting changes in value being recorded as a charge or credit to arrive at net income. During this periodic valuation process, the Company may recognize charges due to the recognition of changes in the market value of these derivative financial instruments. We valued the Warrants and the Right to Purchase at March 6, 2006, their date of issuance, using an appropriate option pricing model (“the Model”). This Model is described in footnote 16 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As more fully explained in footnote 16 to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, from the date of issuance though June 30, 2006, an aggregate benefit to arrive at net income with respect to the re-valuation of these derivatives liabilities amounted to $6,788,545.

We understand that Devcon International Corp. (the “Company”) intends to enter into a transaction with Guardian International, Inc. (the “Target”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will acquire the Target through a reverse subsidiary merger for an aggregate cash consideration of $65.5 million, subject to certain adjustments, which after the discharge of indebtedness, the redemption of preferred stock, and the payment of Target transaction expenses is expected to result in a payment to the holders of the Target common stock of approximately $2.72 per share (the “Proposed Transaction”). The terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are set forth in more detail in the Agreement and Plan of Merger to be entered into among the Company, Devcon Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Target (the “Agreement”).

We have been requested by the Board of Directors of the Company to render our opinion with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Proposed Transaction. We have not been requested to opine as to, and our opinion does not in any manner address, (i) the Company’s underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Proposed Transaction or the restructuring of the Company’s business operations and (ii) the Company’s ability or the method utilized to finance the Proposed Transaction.

In arriving at our opinion, we reviewed and analyzed: (1) the Agreement and the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; (2) publicly available information concerning the Target and the Company that we believe to be relevant to our analysis, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 for the Target and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 for the Company; (3) financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of the Target and the Company furnished to us by the Company, including projections of the future financial performance of the Target prepared by the management of the Company based on information received from the management of the Target (the “Company Projections”) and projections of the future financial performance of the Company prepared by the management of the Company; (4) a comparison of the historical financial results and present financial condition of the Target with those of other companies that we deemed relevant; (5) a comparison of the financial terms of the Proposed Transaction with the financial terms of certain other recent transactions that we deemed relevant; and (6) the potential pro forma impact of the Proposed Transaction on the recurring monthly revenues and the earnings per share of the Company, including the cost savings, operating synergies and other strategic benefits expected to result from a combination of the businesses as estimated by the management of the Company (the “Expected Synergies”). In addition, we have had discussions with the managements of the Target and the Company concerning its business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects and have undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as we deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by us without assuming any responsibility for independent verification of such information and have further relied upon the assurances of managements of the Target and the Company that they

are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the Company Projections, upon advice of the Company we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Target and that the Target will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. With respect to the financial projections of the Company, upon advice of the Company we have assumed that such projections have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future financial performance of the Company and that the Company will perform substantially in accordance with such projections. However, for purposes of our analysis, we also have considered certain somewhat more conservative assumptions and estimates which resulted in certain adjustments to the Company Projections (the “Adjusted Projections”). We have discussed these Adjusted Projections with the management of the Company and they have agreed with the appropriateness of the use of, and we have relied on, such Adjusted Projections in performing our analysis. With respect to the Expected Synergies, we have assumed that the amount and timing of the Expected Synergies are reasonable and that the Expected Synergies will be realized substantially in accordance with such estimates. In arriving at our opinion, we have conducted only a limited physical inspection of the properties and facilities of the Target and have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of the Target. Our opinion necessarily is based upon market, economic and other conditions as they exist on, and can be evaluated as of, the date of this letter.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof that, from a financial point of view, the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Proposed Transaction is fair to the Company.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Proposed Transaction and will receive a fee for our services, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities that may arise out of the rendering of this opinion. We are performing various investment banking services for the Company (including serving as placement agent on a future equity financing) and will receive customary fees for such services. Additionally, we have performed and are performing investment banking services for one of the principal shareholders of the Company, as well as its affiliates, and have received and will receive customary fees for such services. In the ordinary course of our business, we may trade in the debt and equity securities of the Company and the Target, if any, for our own account and for the accounts of our customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Company, is rendered to the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction and may not be used by the Company for any other purpose or reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to by the Company at any time, in any manner or for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that this opinion may be reproduced in full in, and references to the opinion and to us and our relationship with the Company may be included in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission if required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and in any proxy statement or similar disclosure document disseminated to shareholders if required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Very truly yours,

LEHMAN BROTHERS

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” means a natural person, corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, association, limited liability company or other business or other legal entity of any kind.

Prior to any termination of this Agreement, subject to Section 7 hereof (with respect to Stockholder), Stockholder agrees that neither it nor any of its Representatives on its behalf, shall, directly or indirectly, solicit (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries with respect to, or the making of, any proposal by any Person or entity (other than Parent or any affiliate of Parent) which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Transaction Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

(c) Additional Covered Shares. Stockholder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any new shares of Company Common Stock or other securities of the Company of which Stockholder acquires beneficial ownership after the date hereof (including upon the exercise of Options).

7. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) Stockholder makes no agreements or understandings herein in any capacity other than in Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Covered Shares, (b) nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect, directly or indirectly, any right, duty, action or inaction by Stockholder, other than in its capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Covered Shares, including such person’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company, (c) Stockholder may provide information and engage in discussions with a third party, as and to the extent that the Company is permitted to do so in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02(a) of the Merger Agreement, and (d) Stockholder shall have no liability to Parent or any of its affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise as a result of any action or inaction by Stockholder in any capacity other than such person’s capacity as a record and beneficial owner of Covered Shares.

This Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Parent may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.

15. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida.

The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender and that the remedy at law for any such breach may

be inadequate. The Borrower therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, expenses and other client charges of counsel to the Lender) incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Lender’s rights, and the collection of all amounts due, hereunder.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.

The Borrower acknowledges that the transaction of which this Note is a part is a commercial transaction and hereby waives its right to any notice and hearing as may be allowed by any state or federal law with respect to any prejudgment remedy which the Lender or its successors or assigns may use.

Upon receipt by the Borrower of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Lender to the Borrower in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a new Note representing the outstanding principal amount of the Note.

The Borrower hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, (ii) waives any defense based on doctrines of venue or forum non conveniens, or similar rules or doctrines, and (iii) irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such an action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or Federal court.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

		Attention:

THIS AMENDMENT TO PROMISSORY NOTES (this “Amendment”) is made as of this 12th day of April, 2006, by and between Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation, with headquarters located at 595 South Federal Highway, Suite 500, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 (the ”Borrower”), on the one hand, and the lender that is a signatory to this Agreement (the “Lender”), on the other hand.

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Promissory Note, dated as of March 6, 2006 (the “Note”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, by and among the Borrower and the investors set forth in the schedule attached thereto; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lender desire to amend the Note to include a provision pertaining to the Additional Closing Date required under the Note due to certain timing issue concerning the filing, review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and mailing of the Information Statement required under the terms of the Note.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The Note is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence after the end of the first complete paragraph of the Note to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Maturity Date, if the Additional Closing Date has not occurred on or prior to such date and either (a) (x) the Company has received the SEC Indication of Completion of Review (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (y) the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to print the information statement required in connection with the Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Information Statement”) and mail such Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as commercially practicable; or (b) (x) the SEC is conducting a full review (which is continuing) of the Information Statement and (y) the Company has used its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC, to cause such Information Statement to become effective, to print such Information Statement and to mail such Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as commercially practicable, the Maturity Date shall be extended until the earlier to occur of (i) the date of the Additional Closing Date and (ii) in the case of the scenario described in (a) above, June 9, 2006 and, in the case of the scenario described in (b) above, the earlier to occur of (x) January 1, 2007 and (y) thirty days after the date the Company has received the SEC Indication of Completion of Review.”

2. The Note is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraphs after the fifth complete paragraph of the Note to read as follows:

“The Borrower shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing (with the purchase of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock automatically constituting an assumption in writing) all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note and the other Transactional Documents contemplated in the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and approved by the Lender prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Lender a Note of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note and satisfactory to the Lender, including, without limitation, having principal equal to the principal amount outstanding and accrued but unpaid interest under this Note at the time of such Change of Control and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation

whose common shares are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Borrower” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower and shall assume all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Borrower herein. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the redemption of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply to the outstanding amounts under the Note to the extent such amounts are the subject of a Change of Control Repayment Notice (as defined below).

No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Borrower shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Lender (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period (the “Change of Control Period”) beginning after the Lender’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, the Lender may require the Borrower to repay this Note at a price (the “Change of Control Repayment Price”) equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the sum of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable under this Note and being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sales Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) $9.54 and (ii) 115% of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable under this Note and being redeemed by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Repayment Notice”) to the Borrower, which Change of Control Repayment Notice shall indicate the repayment amount sought by the Lender. The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Repayment Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Repayment Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice otherwise. To the extent redemptions required by this paragraph are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the outstanding principal and interest under this Note, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Borrower’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this paragraph, the Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Lender. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this paragraph is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Lender’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

For the purpose of this Note, a “Change of Control” means any Fundamental Transaction other than (A) any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification in which holders of the Borrower’s voting power immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification continue after such reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification to hold publicly traded securities and, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or entities, or (B) pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Borrower.

For the purpose of this Note, “Closing Bid Price” and “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for such security on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing

bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price, as the case may be, of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Lender. If the Company and the Lender are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

For purpose of this Note, “Eligible Market” means the Principal Market, New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, The American Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, a sale of all or any portion of the Lender’s Legacy Operations or Legacy Operations Assets shall not constitute a Fundamental Transaction.

For the purpose of this Note, “Legacy Operations” means the Borrower’s Construction Division, the Borrower’s remaining Materials operations and DevMat, an 80 percent-owned joint venture which conducts the Borrower’s desalination utility operations.
