Exhibit 99.2


STATUS OF ARMR SERVICES  CORPORATION  MERGER WITH INTEGRATED  SECURITY  SYSTEMS,
INC.

Irving,  Texas - August 8, 2003 - In our press release  announcing the merger of
ARMR Services Corporation with a subsidiary of Integrated Security Systems, Inc.
dated July 24, 2003, we stated,  "ARMR had sales of  approximately  $6.3 million
and $2.7 million for the years  ending  December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively.  There  has been  significant  growth  in sales  for the first six
months of this  calendar  year  compared  to the prior  year." We  believed  the
statement about comparable  six-month sales to be correct at that time. However,
further  analysis  shows  that  while  sales of  manufactured  products  were up
strongly, distribution sales were down due to a large distribution order in 2002
for a product ARMR is now manufacturing. During the start-up and testing of this
product, orders were postponed and sales in total were off approximately 10% for
the  comparable  six-month  period.  Sales  for the  calendar  year for ARMR are
expected to be up.

On a positive note, ARMR  successfully  tested a new heavy duty cantilever crash
rated sliding gate, the model 450, that withstood an attacking  vehicle weighing
15,000  pounds at a speed of nearly 50 mph. This is believed to be the only gate
of  this  style,  at  this  elevated  energy  level,  which  will  be on the new
Department of State  certified  barrier list.  There appears to be a good market
for this gate  since it can  service  the two most  critical  needs of  physical
security by preventing both vehicle and pedestrian entry with a single design.

Due  diligence  is  proceeding  on the part of both ARMR and ISSI  with  closing
expected around the original 30-60-day time frame described on July 24, 2003.

Headquartered  in Irving,  Texas,  ISSI is a technology  company  that  designs,
develops and markets safety  equipment and security  software to the commercial,
industrial and governmental marketplaces.  ISSI is a leading provider of traffic
control and safety  systems  within the road and bridge and  perimeter  security
gate industries. ISSI designs, manufactures and distributes warning gates, crash
barriers (anti-terrorist and traffic control barriers),  lane changers,  airport
and  navigational  lighting and perimeter  security gates and operators.  ISSI's
Intelli-Site(R) provides users with a software solution that integrates existing
subsystems  from  multiple  vendors  without   incurring  the  additional  costs
associated with upgrades or replacement. Intelli-Site(R) features a user-defined
graphics interface that controls various security devices within one or multiple
facilities.   ISSI   conducts  its  design,   development,   manufacturing   and
distribution activities through two wholly owned subsidiaries: B&B Electromatic,
Inc.   and   Intelli-Site,    Inc.   For   more   information,    please   visit
