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 Article 8.03 of Regulation S-X. 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 six months ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2011.  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-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s common stock, including common stock equivalents outstanding.  Certain common shares consisting of stock options, warrants, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock that would have an anti-dilutive effect were not included in the diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

    10,675,875       10,233,213       10,661,123       10,231,612  

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, there were outstanding potential common equivalent shares of 4,436,423 compared to 3,895,564 in the same period in 2009 which were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.  These potential dilutive common equivalent shares may be dilutive to future diluted earnings per share.

Note 4 - Due to Officers and Shareholders

In July 2010, a reduction of $33,500 was made to the balance in the loan accounts in lieu of the exercise price on a total of 200,000 shares issued to Officers and Shareholders.

Note 5 — New Authoritative Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures.  These amended standards require disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosures about significant transfers, beginning in the first quarter of 2010.  Additionally, these amended standards require presentation of disaggregated activity within the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3), beginning in the first quarter of 2011.  Management does not expect these new standards to significantly impact its consolidated financial statements.

Note 6 - Subsequent Event

On February 8, 2011, the Company entered into an equity financing and registration rights agreement (collectively the "Agreements") with Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC ("Auctus") pursuant to which  Auctus has committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to $10 million of Common Stock over a term of up to five years commencing from the effective date of a Registration Statement.

The Company is not required to sell shares under the Agreements.  The Agreements give the Company the option to sell to Auctus shares of Common Stock at a per share purchase price of equal to 96% of the lowest closing volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the five trading days following the delivery to Auctus of a draw-down notice (the "Notice").  At the Company's option, they may set a floor price under which Auctus may not sell the shares which were the subject of the Notice.  The maximum amount of Common Stock that the Company can sell pursuant to any Notice is the greater of: (i) an amount of shares with an aggregate maximum purchase price of $200,000 or (ii) 200% of the average daily volume based on the trailing ten (10) days preceding the Notice date, whichever is of a larger value.

Auctus is not required to purchase the shares, unless the shares which are subject to the Notice have been registered for resale and are freely tradable in accordance with the Federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company is obligated to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) within 180 days from the date of the Agreements and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of filing.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

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, 2010 on Form 10-K.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Electronic Control Security Inc. (the “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-K and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

We are engaged in the design, develop, manufacture and marketing of technology-based integrated entry control and perimeter security solutions..  We also perform support services consisting of risk assessment and vulnerability studies to ascertain a client's security requirements in developing a comprehensive risk management and mitigation program as well as product design and engineering services in support of the systems integrators and dealers/installers providing these services to a client.

We market our products domestically and internationally to:

 
·
security system integrators;

 
·
national and local government entities;

 
·
large industrial facilities and major office complexes;

 
·
energy facilities, including nuclear power stations, 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:

 
8

 

 
·
offer the complete range of solutions-driven responses to accommodate our customers' needs;

 
·
offer technologically superior products;

 
·
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.

As reported previously, the Company submitted proposals during fiscal 2010 on projects for Department of Defense (DoD) facilities and certain nuclear power stations in the United States and southeast Asia valued at approximately $13,650,000.  Approximately $2.2 million of these DoD and nuclear projects were awarded and partially shipped during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  An additional $850,000 of these proposals were awarded during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.  We anticipate decisions relating to the remaining proposals during the second half of fiscal 2011 with deliveries scheduled through the last six months of fiscal 2011 and the first half of fiscal 2012.

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 do not currently have any reserves against inventory.

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.

REVENUES.  We had net revenues of $1,881,963 for the 2010 Period compared to $1,635,704 for the 2009 Period, representing an increase of approximately 15%.  Net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $1,080,411 as compared to $1,245,047 for the corresponding three month period in 2009, representing a decrease of 13%. The increase in net revenues during the 2010 Period compared to the 2009 period is primarily attributable to new orders received in fiscal 2010 and released for shipment in fiscal 2011.  The decrease in net revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period in 2009 is primarily attributable to the backlog of confirmed orders awaiting approval of the Company’s submittal drawings and change in scope by the customer.

GROSS MARGINS. Gross margins for the 2010 Period were $1,164,573, or approximately 62% of net revenues, compared to $1,073,372, or approximately 66% of net revenues, for the 2009 Period.  Gross margins were 58% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to 63% for the corresponding three-month period in 2009.  The decrease in gross margins for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding periods in 2009 is primarily attributable to a continuing shift in the order mix of equipment sales and support services.  The Company’s sales and gross margins may vary quarter to quarter, but gross margins have remained within the 58%-68% range as stated in the previous Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred in designing and developing upgrades to existing products and systems.  Research and development expenses for the 2010 Period were $61,211 compared to $80,668 for the 2009 Period.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, research and development costs were $36,605 compared to $40,334 for the three months ending December 31, 2009.  The decrease in research and development expenses for the six and three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding periods in 2009 was directly attributable to completion of the development work on our Bio-Chem Water Infrastructure Sensing Equipment (WISE®).

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2010 Period and for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $680,580 and $338,765, respectively, compared to $745,753 and $518,437 for each of the 2009 Period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the 2010 periods compared to the 2009 periods was primarily due to our efforts to reduce our marketing, sales and sales support costs.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses costs during the three-months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding three months in 2009 was due to the write-off of certain bad debts taken during the three months ended December 31, 2009 .

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION. We 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.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS.  The income from operations for the 2010 Period was $391,741 compared to $234,577 for the 2009 Period.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we had income from operations of $243,100 compared to $222,137 for the corresponding three months in 2009.  The increase in income from operations during the 2010 periods compared to the 2009 periods was attributable to the receipt of higher gross margin purchase orders, a more profitable mix of design and engineering support services billings, and controlled selling, general and administrative expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense in the 2010 Period was $31,638 compared to $53,704 incurred during the 2009 Period.  The decrease is due to lower amounts of principal outstanding during the respective periods.

INCOME.  Income before dividends related to preferred stock for the 2010 Period was $362,166 as compared to $180,873 in 2009 Period.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, there was income of $230,253 compared to income of $195,644 in the corresponding period in 2009.  The increase in income is directly related to the deliverables of design and engineering support services.

DIVIDENDS RELATED TO PREFERRED STOCK.

We recorded dividends totaling $73,051 on our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the 2010 period as compared to $66,181 in the 2009 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

We believe that cash on hand, together with anticipated collection of accounts receivable during the short term, will be sufficient to provide for our working capital needs for the next twelve months.  However, we may need to raise funds in order to allow for shortfalls in anticipated revenue or to expand existing capacities and/or to satisfy any additional significant purchase order that we may receive.  At the present time, we have no commitments or assurances of additional revenue beyond the firm purchase orders we have received.  Additionally, a leading provider of receivables-based financing, has advised us that it is affording us a $3.5 million (or more as our business grows) line of credit for large government and/or private sector contracts which we used previously during the Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS) program. The line of credit has been reaffirmed (on an informal basis).

At December 31, 2010, we had working capital of approximately $1.5 million compared to approximately $1.3 million at June 30, 2010.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2010 period was $739,772 as compared to $271,242 for the 2009 period.

Inventory increased by $276,255 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 over the corresponding six months in 2009. Inventories have still remained relatively high due to an increase of the Company’s work in process in preparation for shipments on our committed projects.

Accounts receivable have decreased by $1,465,450 to $467,460 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 over the corresponding six months in 2009.  The decrease is due to a change in the Company’s new payment terms and conditions and to substantial collections in December 2010.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses have decreased by $955,012 to $1,487,678 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 over the corresponding six months in 2009..  Included in accrued expenses are accrued salaries to officers and other key employees in the amount of $496,560.  The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses from June 30, 2010 was directly related to a decrease in our accounts receivable due to increased collections.  This  afforded the Company the ability to pay down our trade payables and decrease the accrued salaries due to officers and other key employees.

The Company purchased equipment in the aggregate of $383,818 during the six months ended December 31, 2010.  This equipment was directly related to our new integrated entry control systems and to the WISE® Water Infrastructure Sensing Equipment, both of which will generate significant sales in the years ahead.  We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures going forward.

ITEM 4. 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-Q, 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 were no changes 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-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On February 8, 2011, we executed a drawdown equity financing agreement and registration rights agreement (collectively the "Agreements") with Auctus Private Equity Fund, LLC ("Auctus") pursuant to which Auctus has committed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to $10 million of our Common Stock, over a term of up to five years commencing from the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below).
 
While we are not required to sell shares under the Agreements, the Agreements give us the option to sell to Auctus shares of Common Stock at a per share purchase price of equal to 96% of the lowest closing volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the five trading days following our delivery to Auctus of a draw-down notice (the "Notice").  At our option, we may set a floor price under which Auctus may not sell the shares which were the subject of the Notice.  The maximum amount of Common Stock that we can sell pursuant to any Notice is the greater of: (i) an amount of shares with an aggregate maximum purchase price of $200,000 or (ii) 200% of the average daily volume based on the trailing ten (10) days preceding the Notice date, whichever is of a larger value.
 
Auctus is not required to purchase the shares, unless the shares which are subject to the Notice have been registered for resale and are freely tradable in accordance with the Federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company is obligated to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) within 180 days from the date of the Agreements and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of filing.

The Company has paid to Auctus a non-refundable fee of $5,000 and an additional $7,500 will be taken out of the proceeds of the first drawdown.
