ELECTRONIC CONTROL SECURITY INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Electronic Control Security Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Item 310(b) of Regulation SB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2008. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

In determining basic or diluted earnings per share (EPS), the effects of dividends related to the Company's Series A convertible preferred stock is added to the net loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of other securities into common stock, but only if dilutive. The following securities have been excluded from the dilutive per-share computation, as they are anti-dilutive.

Note 4 - Due to Officers and Shareholders

On July 11, 2007, a total of $150,000 of the outstanding loan balance was converted into 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

Note 5 - Legal Settlement

In October 2007, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with one of its vendors. Under the agreement, the Company was required to pay $200,000 and issue 20,000 shares of its Common Stock. Of the cash portion, the Company remitted $20,000 up front and assigned the right to receive $180,000 from certain contract retainages. The Company has also agreed that, commencing one year from the date of issuance, it may be required to buy back the stock issued for $20,000. As of this date the company is current in meeting its obligations.

Note 6 – New Authoritative Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and expanded disclosure requirements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on either the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

The Company does not anticipate the adoption of other recently-issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related to those statements. Some of our discussion is forward-looking and involves risks and uncertainties. For information regarding risk factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, refer to the risk factors section of the annual report for the year ended June 30, 2007 on Form 10-KSB.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in this report and other Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports to shareholders. Statements that relate to other than strictly historical facts, such as statements about our plans and strategies, expectations for future financial performance, new and existing products and technologies, and markets for our products are forward-looking statements. Generally, the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "will" and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on our management's then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and speak only as of their dates. Investors are cautioned that such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results due to many factors including, but not limited to, our Company's current and future capital needs, uncertainty of capital funding, our clients' ability to cancel contracts with little or no penalty, government initiatives to implement Homeland Security measures, the likelihood of completing transactions for which we have entered into letters of intent, the state of the worldwide economy, competition, our customer's ability to pay our invoices within our standard credit terms, and other risks detailed in our Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

We design, develop, manufacture and market technology-based integrated security systems. We also provide support services to system integrators consisting of risk assessment and vulnerability studies to ascertain a client's security requirements to develop a comprehensive risk management and mitigation program.

We market our products domestically and internationally to:

  ·
security system integrators;

  ·
national and local government entities;

  ·
large industrial facilities and major office complexes; and

  ·
energy facilities, including nuclear plants, power utilities and pipelines; and commercial transportation centers, such as airports and seaports.

We believe we are one of the few true comprehensive security solution providers in the industry. We are able to analyze a security risk and develop security solutions specifically tailored to mitigate that risk, including design, engineering and manufacturing individual components of a system as may be necessary to deliver a fully integrated security system customized to a client's requirements. We are frequently engaged by security system integrators, security system dealers/installers, and commercial architects and engineers because we are able to deliver the integrated platform of design, engineering services and fully integrated security solutions that support their requirements for the completion of a given project.

We believe that we have developed a superior reputation as a provider of integrated security systems since our inception in 1976 because we:
 
  ·
offer the complete range of solutions-driven responses to accommodate our customers' needs;
 
  ·
offer technologically superior products;
 
5


  ·
are able to design, engineer and manufacture systems customized to our clients' specific requirements;
 
  ·
deliver systems that are easy to operate and maintain while providing superior life cycle cost performance compared to systems offered by competitors;
 
  ·
have established solid credentials in protecting high value targets; and
 
  ·
offer customers perhaps the best warranty in the industry.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company submitted proposals on major projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Ethiopia, and to nuclear power stations, the Department of Energy and Department of Defense facilities in the United States valued at approximately $3,750,000. Of these proposals, $2,250,000 were awarded, and we anticipate approval and funding by the end of first quarter or early second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Between October and December 2007, the Company was awarded purchase orders for over $675,000 to develop security system solutions for various projects in North Africa and the United States. In January 2008, the Company received a contract for a United Nations facility in North Africa for over $1.5 million to be delivered over a ten (10) month period which we began billing against in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Further, we have started production on the various Nuclear Power Station and Department of Energy projects. The Company received notice from Lockheed Martin that a task order for over $650,000 would be released against the $7.0 million I/D I/Q order previously issued to ECSI by Lockheed Martin on the ATFP NAVFAC contract for delivery in October of 2008. The Company will supply three of its premiere product lines integrated with other technologies and support services to prevent unauthorized entry or access.

The Company is a sub-contractor to Raytheon Services responsible for the sustainment portion on the ATFP-NAVFAC program for the southwest and northwest naval facilities. Raytheon Services has been awarded the contract for these facilities, and the sustainment portion of the contract is valued at over $2.2 million. The contract for sustainment of these facilities is scheduled to be implemented in the October 2008 thru 2011 time frame.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management.

We do not participate in, nor has there been created, any off-balance sheet special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet financing. In addition, we do not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

INVENTORY VALUATION

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We routinely evaluate the composition of our inventory to identify obsolete or otherwise impaired inventories. Inventories identified as impaired are evaluated to determine if reserves are required. We currently have reserves against inventory totaling approximately $52,000.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The allowance for doubtful accounts is comprised of two parts, a specific account analysis and a general reserve. Accounts where specific information indicates a potential loss may exist are reviewed and a specific reserve against amounts due is recorded. As additional information becomes available, such specific account reserves are updated. Additionally, a general reserve is applied to the aging categories based on historical collection and write-off experience.

ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

We record a valuation allowance to our deferred tax assets for the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While we consider historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event that we determine that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net amount recorded, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination has been made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged against income in the period such determination was made.

FAIR VALUE OF EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

The valuation of certain items, including valuation of warrants or stock options that may be offered as compensation for goods or services, involve significant estimations with underlying assumptions judgmentally determined. Warrants are valued using the most reliable measure of fair value, such as the value of the goods or services rendered, if obtainable. If such value is not readily obtainable, the valuation of warrants and stock options are then based upon the Black-Scholes valuation model, which involves estimates of stock volatility, expected life of the instruments and other assumptions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 ("2008 PERIOD") COMPARED TO
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 ("2007 PERIOD") and
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

REVENUES. We had net revenues of $1,891,508 for the 2008 Period as compared to $4,473,518 for the 2007 Period, representing a decrease of approximately 58%. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $437,133 as compared to $702,574 for the corresponding three month period in 2007. The decrease in net revenues during the 2008 Period as compared to the 2007 Period, as well as the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007, is primarily attributable to management’s decision to pursue commercial-industrial sales, which afford higher gross margins, rather than the DoD prime contract sales that afford greater sales volume but significantly lower gross margins. Further, task orders awarded on contracts now in-house for the U.S. Air Force IBDSS and ATFP-NAVFAC programs have been delayed due to the governmental approval process and/or lack of funding.

GROSS MARGINS. Gross margins for the 2008 Period were 36.79% as compared to 25.49% of revenue for the 2007 Period. Gross margins were 66.53% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 37.21% for the corresponding three-month period in 2007. The increase in gross margins for the three-months ended March 31, 2008 period compared to the corresponding period in 2007 is primarily attributable to an increase in the order mix of higher gross margin products and design and engineering support services and a decrease in material costs.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses consist primarily of those incurred in designing and developing upgrades to existing products and systems.  Research and development expenses for the 2008 Period were $77,002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $21,334, as compared to $113,422 and $27,834 respectively for the corresponding periods in 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to the curtailment of certain product enhancement research and development programs in order to conserve cash.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2008 Period and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $937,899 and $200,634, respectively, as compared to $1,181,634 and $343,639 respectively for the corresponding periods in 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to a concerted effort by management to reduce SG&A including a reduction in personnel to maintain a relationship with the reduction in sales.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. We have issued stock options to our directors and various employees and consultants. The value of these options is being amortized over their respective vesting periods. Stock-based compensation is non-cash and, therefore, has no impact on cash flow or liquidity

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS. The net loss from operations increased from $170,714 in the 2007 Period to $458,293 in the 2008 Period. For the three months ended March 31,2008 we had net income from operations of $64,456 compared to a net loss of $119,148 for the corresponding period in 2007. This quarter’s profitability reflects the results of management’s commitment to controlled profitable sales growth as stated previously.

7


INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense in the 2008 Period was $149,314 as compared to $241,909 incurred during the 2007 Period. The decrease in the 2008 Period is attributable to the lower average amount of outstanding debt balances. Also included in interest expense in the 2008 and 2007 Periods is $50,366 and $137,892, respectively, of amortization of deferred finance costs relating to the offering costs and the value of the warrants issued on the private placement of the convertible debentures.

AMORTIZATION OF BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE. In accordance with EITF No. 00-27, we recorded an additional discount in the amount of $118,748 upon the issuance of our convertible debentures in January 2006 to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the debt and amortized this amount to the date of maturity. Amortization for the 2008 Period totaled $13,879 compared to $29,660 in the 2007 Period.

MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY LOSS. There was no minority interest in the loss attributable to the foreign subsidiary for the 2008 Period and $4,464 for the 2007 Period. Management had taken steps to eliminate the general and administrative expenses related to this subsidiary.

LEGAL SETTLEMENT. We recorded a charge of $220,000 in the 2008 Period in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit by one of our vendors. Under the settlement agreement, we remitted $20,000, assigned our right to receive payment under certain contracts in an aggregate amount of $180,000, and issued 20,000 shares of our Common Stock.

NET LOSS. Net loss before deemed dividends related to preferred stock for the 2008 and 2007 Periods was $(841,486) and $(437,819), respectively and $(4,194) and $(208,449) respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

DIVIDENDS RELATED TO PREFERRED STOCK.

We recorded dividends totaling $82,180 on our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the 2008 Period and $74,173 in the 2007 Period. In lieu of a cash payment, we have elected, under the terms of these securities, to add this amount to the stated value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

These dividends are non-cash and, therefore, have no impact on our net worth, cash flow or liquidity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2008, we had working capital of approximately $ 1.99 million compared to approximately $2.21 million at June 30, 2007. Net cash used in operating activities for the 2008 period was $58,823 as compared to $488,411 provided by operating activities for the 2007 period.

Inventory has increased by $6,151 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and still remains relatively high in anticipation of shipments for committed projects.

Accounts receivable collection days sales outstanding (DSO) were 267 days at March 31, 2008 as compared to 229 days at December 31, 2007. The receivables have continued to be delayed due to close out of the Tinker Air Force Base Project, release of funds on certain overseas projects, and approvals on certain task orders which we anticipate to resolve during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses have increased by $522,216 to $2,285,438 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as payments to vendors match the corresponding decrease in collection of accounts receivable.

Investing activities for the 2008 Period included purchases of property and equipment of $5,989. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures going forward.

In January 2006, we raised net proceeds of $831,000 from the private placement of $1 million in principal amount of our Senior Secured Convertible Debentures ("the Debentures"). Our obligations with respect to the Debentures are secured by a lien on all of our assets, including our intellectual property. The Debentures have a term of three years and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $.75 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Interest is payable at a rate equal to the greater of 8% per annum or the prime rate for the applicable interest period plus 2.5%. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $490,000 in principal amount of the debentures remains outstanding.

8


We expect that cash on hand together with new sales now in process and anticipated collection of accounts receivable will be sufficient to provide for our working capital needs for the next 12 months. We have retained the services of Blue Sky Capital Strategies, LLC to assist in the improvement of the Company’s liquidity position. Blue Sky Capital will assist the Company in obtaining non-equity based debt through letters of credit, bank lines, guarantees, vendor/partner or other trade finance facilities. The Company is also negotiating with a number of investors for new sources of financing that will allow the Company to take out the existing Convertible Debenture holders and establish a new line of working capital to support sales going forward. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital.

ITEM 3A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (and Principal Financial Officer and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, management and our Chief Executive Officer (and Principal Financial Officer and Accounting Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On January 2, 2008, Garud Technology Services filed suit in Superior Court in New Jersey against the Company claiming that it is owed $286,548 for services provided and additional charges of $19,885 in interest for equipment delivered and payment withheld. The Company has filed its answer, denying certain of the claims. Subsequent events resulted in a settlement and a six month pay out agreement for the monies owed. The amount claimed has been included in our accounts payable.

In December 2006, a former employee of our subsidiary, Clarion Sensing Systems, Inc., brought a pro se action against us in the United States District Court in Indianapolis, Indiana, alleging, among other things, breach of employment contract, and seeking unspecified damages, including unpaid wages, compensatory damages and punitive damages. We filed an answer, with counterclaims, on May 1, 2007, generally contesting all claims. The plaintiff subsequently filed, with assistance of counsel, an amended complaint on July 17, 2007, to which we filed an answer on October 8, 2007. We believe that we have substantial and meritorious defenses to this claim and intend to vigorously defend our rights.
