ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS

On February 6, 2003, the Registrant announced that its Chief Executive Officer,
Bryan C.W. Tate, had been elected Chairman of its Board of Directors (the
"Board"). Mr. Tate's election followed the resignation of Niklaus F. Zenger as
Chairman of the Board. In addition, two new independent directors, Ronald F.
Harnisch and Carlo R. Loi, have recently been elected to the Board.

Mr. Tate has been a Board member since October 2001. Over the last 19 years, he
has been the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and majority shareholder of
Digitel Corporation, a privately-held, Atlanta-based telecommunications company.
Mr. Tate will focus on preserving the Registrant's newly strengthened balance
sheet and increasing the profitability of the Registrant's core businesses.

Mr. Harnisch is an attorney in New York City and previously was a member of the
Board of the Registrant. He currently serves as counsel to the law firm Mintz &

Mr. Loi, a resident of Milan, Italy, has worked as an executive for a number of
multi-national companies, including Hewlett Packard, General Electric, Racal,
Chubb Security and Vodafone. Mr. Loi has also served as chairman of several
corporate boards.

On February 1, 2003, the Registrant announced that Gerard C. Codeluppi, Michael
M. Morris and Oliver Stahel, resigned from its Board. The resignations follow
the resignation of the Registrant's former Chief Executive Officer, Niklaus F.
Zenger, and the consummation of the Registrant's asset sale to Honeywell in
December 2002. On January 22, 2003, the Registrant announced the resignation of
Mr. Zenger as the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer, and the election of Mr.
Tate to replace Mr. Zenger as the Chief Executive Officer.

During Mr. Zenger's tenure as the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer, he
developed and implemented a new strategy to help the Registrant's for achieve
growth in its profits. This strategy included restructuring the organization
into core business units, increasing profit margins, and reducing operating
expenses. Under Mr. Zenger, the sale of the Registrant's closed-circuit
television business to Honeywell International, Inc. was executed and
consummated, leaving the Registrant with a stronger balance sheet.

On December 27, 2002, a new independent director, Lance Borvansky, was elected
to the Board. Mr. Borvansky will serve on the Registrant's Audit and
Compensation committees. Mr. Borvansky has a M.S. in Electrical Engineering and
