GENERAL

Sentry designs, manufactures, sells and installs a complete line of Video Surveillance Systems (VSS), Electro-Magnetic (EM) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based Library Management systems as well as Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems. The VSS product line features SentryVision, SmartTrack, a proprietary, patented traveling Surveillance System, and includes conventional pan, tilt and zoom ("PTZ") and fixed camera video systems. The Company's products are used by libraries to secure inventory and improve operating efficiency, by retailers to deter shoplifting and internal theft and by industrial and institutional customers to protect assets and people.

Sentry was incorporated in Delaware in 1996. Its corporate predecessors had been in business for more than 30 years. Sentry was formed in connection with the February 1997 merger of Knogo North America Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Video Sentry Corporation, a Minnesota corporation. As a result of the merger, we became the parent corporation of two wholly-owned Delaware subsidiaries: Knogo North America Inc. ("Knogo") and Video Sentry Corporation ("Video"). This series of transactions is referred to herein collectively as the "Initial Merger."

Knogo was engaged in the design, manufacture, sale, installation and servicing of a complete line of electronic article surveillance equipment. Knogo was incorporated in Delaware in October 1996. Its corporate predecessors had been in business for more than 30 years.

Video designed, manufactured, marketed, installed and serviced a programmable traveling closed circuit television surveillance system that delivers a high quality video picture, which is used in a wide variety of applications. Video also acted as a system integrator for conventional VSS products that it marketed, installed and serviced. Video's predecessor was founded in 1990 and made its first sales in 1992. Video was merged into Knogo as of December 31, 2000.

On April 30, 2004, Sentry acquired all the outstanding common stock and Series "A" preference shares of ID Security Systems Canada, Inc., an Ontario corporation, and all the outstanding capital stock of ID Systems USA, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, (collectively "ID Systems"). The acquisition expanded our product offering to include library security and process management systems including electromagnetic and RFID based patron self-service systems. Effective January 1, 2005, ID Systems changed the name of ID Security Systems Canada Inc. and ID Systems USA Inc. to Sentry Technology Canada Inc. and Sentry Technology USA Inc., (collectively "Sentry Canada").

On March 22, 2005, Sentry was merged into its subsidiary Knogo pursuant to a plan of merger in which Knogo was the surviving corporation. The merger was effective for accounting purposes on January 1, 2005. Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, Knogo changed its name to Sentry Technology Corporation.

EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

On April 19, 2004, Dialoc ID Holdings B.V. ("Dialoc") sold 39,066,927 Sentry common shares (representing approximately 46% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Sentry) to a group of investors. Of the group, Saburah Investments Inc. ("Saburah") acquired 22,758,155 shares, Mr. Robert Furst 14,554,386 shares and Dr. Morton Roseman 1,754,386 shares. Mr. Peter Murdoch, President, CEO and Director of Sentry, is the owner of Saburah. Mr. Furst is a long-standing member of Sentry's Board of Directors.

In addition to the purchase of Sentry's common shares, Saburah also acquired 100% of ID Security Systems Canada, Inc. and ID Systems USA, Inc. The price paid to Dialoc by Saburah and Murdoch for Sentry and ID Systems shares in cash, debt assumption and other consideration was approximately $3.6 million plus the surrender of Murdoch's 15% interest in Dialoc. Saburah also agreed to make a payment to Dialoc in the future equal to approximately 6% of any payment it received from Checkpoint Systems Inc. ("Checkpoint") resulting from litigation brought by ID Canada against Checkpoint.

On April 30, 2004, Sentry purchased from Saburah Investments, Inc., an Ontario corporation, all of the outstanding common shares and Series "A" preference shares of ID Security Systems Canada, Inc., an Ontario corporation, and all of the outstanding capital stock of ID Systems USA, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation. ID Systems was a Toronto based company engaged in anti-shoplifting technology, security labeling, RFID, access control and library security. Sentry acquired ID Systems from Saburah in exchange for 30,000,000 Sentry common shares. The price paid per Sentry share for the securities of ID Systems was valued at approximately $0.11. A special committee of Sentry's Board of Directors received an opinion from Corporate Valuation Services confirming that the price paid for the acquisition of ID Systems was fair from the point of view of Sentry shareholders. As part of the purchase agreement, the proceeds of the ID Systems litigation settlement were distributed to the former ID Systems' shareholders. Sentry's Board of Directors and shareholders owning a majority of Sentry common stock approved the acquisition of ID Systems.

Other benefits flowing to Sentry/ID Systems via the purchase of ID Systems are as follows:

- ID Systems and Sentry continue as a distributor in North and South America for Dialoc products.
- Dialoc became a distributor in Europe and Asia of labels manufactured by ID Systems' security label manufacturing subsidiary, Custom Security Industries Inc. ("CSI").
- Dialoc will continue to be a dealer for Sentry products in Europe and Asia.

On April 30, 2004, Sentry entered into a $2,000,000 secured convertible debenture with Brookfield Technology Fund ("Brookfield"), an alternative investment fund established by Brookfield Asset Management (formerly known as Brascan Technology Fund and Brascan Asset Management, respectively), to invest in early stage, technology-based companies with high growth potential.

Key terms of the transaction are as follows:

- Four-year term.
- Interest rate of 8% per annum.
- Redeemable at Sentry's option after 18 months.
- Conversion price equal to the market price, at time of conversion, less a discount of 30% with a maximum conversion price of $0.12 per share.
- Conversion is at the option of Brookfield when market share price is equal to or greater than $0.17 per share or with the approval of Sentry's Board of Directors when the market share price is less than $0.17 per share.
- Sentry will provide most favored pricing to all Brookfield affiliates and expects to be a supplier of security and identification products to the Brookfield affiliates.
- Brookfield was issued warrants for 5,000,000 shares of Sentry common stock, priced at $0.15 per share, exercisable anytime until April 30, 2008.
- Brookfield is entitled to one seat on Sentry's Board of Directors or will participate as an observer.

The Debenture is secured by a general security interest over all the assets and properties of Sentry. The amount is subordinate to the existing credit facilities. Sentry acquired ID Systems as a condition of the financing.

The proceeds of the financing, to be used primarily for working capital, were initially allocated between the convertible debenture ($1,835,000) and the warrants ($165,000) based on their respective fair values in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-27 "Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments". The difference between the face value of the debenture and the allocated value was being charged to interest and financing expenses over the term of the convertible debenture. No beneficial conversion feature has been recognized under the term of the convertible debenture.

Certain other warrants to purchase 425,000 common shares of Sentry at exercise prices ranging from $0.18 to $0.20 per share were issued in conjunction with the convertible debenture. The warrants were exercisable over one to three years. The fair value of these warrants ($49,000) was charged to operations over the life of the warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2008, nil (2007 - $5,000) was recorded in interest and financing expenses related to these warrants. These options expired during 2007.

Sentry's Board of Directors and shareholders owning a majority of Sentry common stock approved the transaction with Brookfield.

On April 11, 2008, Brookfield extended its maturity of the debenture to December 31, 2008. The 5,000,000 warrants that were originally issued expired. In consideration of this renewal, Brookfield received fully- vested, two-year warrants to purchase 5 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $150,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in May 2008 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was eight months. This extension expired on December 31, 2008. On November 24, 2008 Brookfield further extended its maturity of the debenture to July 30, 2009. There is no assurance that further extensions will be obtained.

Mr. Murdoch, directly or indirectly through his ownership of Saburah Investments Inc., owns or controls 49.5% of the outstanding common stock of Sentry, which does not include the amount of shares to which Mr. Murdoch would be entitled to upon exercise of warrants.

THE SENTRYVISION SYSTEM

SentryVision refers to our product line of proprietary traveling video surveillance systems. Over the years, Sentry has continually improved the product starting with the H-System, followed by the OH-System, the original SentryVision and currently the latest SmartTrack system.

All versions of the product consist of a camera carriage unit, a continuous track enclosed with tinted or mirrored glass enclosure and electronic control equipment. The carriage unit moves within the enclosure and carries one or two PTZ video cameras, electronic transmission components and motor drives. The track, consisting of 12 foot or 4 meter sections, is suspended from the ceiling. The carriage is hidden using a tinted enclosure. The carriage unit transmits video and control signals from the camera(s) through two copper conductors running inside the enclosure to a receiver unit located at one end of the carriage track. The copper conductors also carry power to the camera carriage, eliminating the need for power or communication cables. From the receiver unit, the video signals are relayed to a central monitoring location by wire or fiber optics, where a system operator can position or move the camera carriage to obtain the best vantage point while viewing and recording the continuous, live video pictures. The system design supports conventional peripheral devices, such as digital videocassette recorders, alarm inputs, fixed cameras, PTZ dome cameras, switches/multiplexers, voice intercom systems, panic buttons and remote viewing capability via the internet.

Unlike our previous products, the SentryVision SmartTrack system features one or two state-of-the-art pan, tilt and zoom ("PTZ") domes providing 360 unobstructed views to eliminate most blind spots. Additionally, SmartTrack utilizes sophisticated software that provides six tours and up to 60 presets per camera carriage to allow programmable viewing and recording with or without an operator. The improvements made to the carriage make the new SmartTrack system the fastest and most reliable traveling VSS surveillance system in the history of SentryVision product offerings. SmartTrack is our premier product, replacing all previous generations of SentryVision .

SentryVision is designed to provide enhanced loss prevention surveillance in retail stores and distribution centers as well as to provide monitoring and deterrence of illegal and unsafe activities in a variety of other locations such as parking garages, correctional facilities, transportation centers and public transit terminals. SentryVision may also be employed in a broad range of operational and process monitoring applications in commercial manufacturing and industrial settings. SentryVision is now installed in four of the top five and six of the top ten Global Retailers. As of December 31, 2008, SentryVision systems had been installed at the following customer locations in North America:
Kmart, Navy Exchange, Lowe's Home Centers, Target Stores, Mills Fleet Farm, Winn Dixie, Federal Express, Cabellas, Fred Meyer, Motorola, UPS, J.C. Penney, Canadian Tire, Reno Depot, Estee Lauder, Kohl's Department Stores and Disney Direct Marketing. In addition, during 2008, the Company's international distributors installed SentryVision systems in customer locations throughout Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia. Our international customers include ASDA Wal-Mart, Boot Drug Stores, Carrefour, Auchan, Cora, Castorama, B & Q, Tesco and Coop. We believe that, by providing expanded surveillance coverage and enhanced flexibility to select the locations watched, SentryVision has enabled customers to significantly reduce inventory shrinkage, increase theft apprehension rates and improve safety and security. Based on the price of its system and the experience of Sentry's customers to date, we believe SentryVision is a cost-effective solution, which can improve the operations of our customers.

Sentry sold its first systems in 1992 for installation in parking garage security surveillance applications, but quickly moved its market focus into the retail sector. In this sector, we have identified a number of specific market segments for which SentryVision is well suited for loss prevention surveillance, including home centers, mass merchandise chains, supermarkets, hypermarkets and drug stores, as well as related distribution centers. The key application is inventory loss prevention in the stores, stock rooms and distribution centers as well as a tool to improve business operations via our OperationalVideo system.

SentryVision is typically installed in large retail stores which use a checkout area at the front of the store and product display configurations and high merchandise shelving which form rows and aisles. Sentry specializes in designing system applications which are customized to fit a customer's specific needs and which integrate the customer's existing surveillance equipment (PTZ dome and fixed-mount cameras) with SentryVision . The flexibility of the system allows the customer to specify target-coverage areas ranging from stock rooms to total store coverage and focus on shoplifting, employee theft or performance evaluation of client personnel. Typically, SentryVision has been installed near the ceiling between the rows of cash registers and the ends of the merchandise aisles. This allows the retailer to easily observe both the cash handling activities of cashiers in the checkout area and customer activities between the merchandise rows, despite the presence of hanging signs and other obstructions. The entire sales floor can be monitored efficiently by focusing up and down the aisles and by moving the carriage horizontally from aisle to aisle, or from cash register to cash register. In addition, with the use of camera pan, tilt and zoom lens features, activities in each area can be monitored in greater detail. Results from Sentry's current installations indicate significant improvements in detecting shoplifting, employee theft and improving business operations.

In 2007 we installed the first OperationalVideo applications in Kmart. OperationalVideo delivers real-time images over the internet using Sentry's SmartTrack traveling camera system and digital video server to help control safety and security as well as remote viewing of store operations, merchandising, signage, displays, pricing and employee procedure compliance. Managers have access to all store operations from the home office, regional offices and any fixed or mobile location equipped with an internet connection. As well, security personnel are able to walk the floor interacting with staff and customers while maintaining control of the SmartTrack system using a wireless PDA. Video is managed via the SentryVision Server, a network device that provides real-time remote viewing and user passwords to manage hierarchal control of the system.

Retailers have also integrated SentryVision with "front end" packages of conventional video cameras, dedicated to monitoring the registers and allowing users to locate the traveling camera track where the maximum coverage of in-store traffic can be monitored. The SentryVision system is today generally sold in conjunction with conventional video applications. Customers using the SentryVision system have reported significant reductions in theft-related inventory shrinkage.

SentryVision HipTV allows the user to view and control video images from the SmartTrack traveling video system using a mobile hand held computer and wireless communication network. Customers are no longer required to sit in front of a video console to manage the SmartTrack system. The SentryVision Mobile solution is being used to manage operations and security in large store and distribution centers in the United States.

SentryVision Server is an IP addressable digital video server, which gives users the ability to capture, stream, view and store video images using a web browser. The SentryVision Server (SVS) comes with software that allows multiple users to simultaneously connect to a variety of SentryVision DVMS (Digital Video Management System) via LAN - across TCIP/IP networks. The system uses a Windows-based application for configuration and a browser-based client for remote viewing of live and recorded video for quick and easy investigation of security issues, as well as policies and procedure compliance. The SVS server also runs our OperationalVideo business management solutions for retailers.

- Mass Merchandise and Specialty Chains. Sentry has installed systems for customers including Navy Exchange, Kmart and Walgreens. The targeted coverage varies extensively in these installations from only stock rooms to total store coverage. The equipment package provided in each case varies with the application and location of the need.

- Supermarkets. Sentry has installed systems in supermarket customers including ASDA Wal-Mart, Kroger, Marsh, Auchan, Cub Foods, Winn-Dixie and Fiesta Mart. The targeted coverage in most of these installations has been the entire retail space.

- Manufacturing and Transportation Facilities. SentryVision use in factories has been limited, but the benefits of continuous tracking of industrial operations and processes indicate future growth potential. Continued expansion of the SentryVision dealer program is expected to generate increased installations in factories manufacturing electronics, pharmaceuticals, computers and other high value products and in various wholesale distribution and transportation facilities. Express package and other high throughput distribution facilities are also good prospects for a continuous tracking VSS system for theft prevention. Installations include FedEx Freight, Motorola, Federal Express Air & Ground and UPS. In Cape Town, South Africa, The Metro Rail Network has installed 10 tracks at several terminal stations to monitor passengers at the junction of bus, railway and taxi services. SmartTrack is an integral part of an overall crime prevention and deterrence program including central management of all video devices over a network. In addition, the Mexico City Metro purchased more than 100 SmartTrack systems to manage safety and security for one of the world's largest subway systems.

CONVENTIONAL VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

Conventional video surveillance systems are cost effective in many applications and are the most widely used loss prevention system in North America. Conventional video uses all the basic components of the video surveillance industry including fixed and dome cameras, digital cameras, digital video recorders, monitors, switchers, multiplexers and controllers. This equipment is manufactured for Sentry by outside vendors. We believe that, while less profitable than SentryVision and traditional EAS products, conventional video products complement our other surveillance systems and provide customers with further protection against internal theft and external shoplifting activities.

While we believe that conventional video and SentryVision are complementary security solutions, many companies have traditionally viewed them as competing solutions and have selected between conventional video systems and SentryVision systems for their security solutions.

Remote video transmission and digital recording are continuing growth areas for Sentry. These systems allow customers to monitor remote sites using existing communication lines and a PC-based system. Video camera images are stored and manipulated digitally, substituting the PC for the VCR and multiplexer, and eliminating the videotape. Sentry markets digital video recording and a remote video transmission unit developed by third-party vendors including GE Security, VCT and TeleWatch.

We continue to expand conventional video installations in industrial and institutional facilities. Significant installations have been made for express package companies, including Federal Express.

EAS SYSTEMS

EAS (electronic article surveillance) systems consist of detection devices that are triggered when articles or persons tagged with reusable tags or disposable labels, (referred to as tags), pass through the detection device. The EAS systems that Sentry manufactures are based upon three distinct technologies. One, the Radio Frequency ("Knoscape RF") System, uses medium radio frequency transmissions in the two to nine megahertz range. Second, the "Ranger" system uses ultra-high frequency radio signals in the 902 megahertz and 928 megahertz bands. Third, the Electromagnetic ("Knoscape MM ") system uses very low frequency electromagnetic signals in the range of 218 hertz to nine kilohertz.

The principal application of Sentry's products is to detect and deter shoplifting and employee theft in supermarket, department, discount, specialty and various other types of retail stores including bookstores, video, liquor, drug, shoe, sporting goods and other stores. The use of these products reduces inventory shrinkage by deterring shoplifting, increases sales potential by permitting the more open display of greater quantities of merchandise, reduces surveillance responsibilities of sales and other store personnel and, as a result, increases profitability for the retailer. In addition, Sentry's EAS systems are used in non-retail establishments to detect and deter theft, in office buildings to control the loss of office equipment and other assets, in nursing homes and hospitals for both asset and patient protection, and in a variety of other applications. We are placing less emphasis on EAS markets as the Company continues to focus more on the library and bookstore market segments.

RADIO FREQUENCY AND RANGER DETECTION SYSTEMS

Sentry manufactures and distributes the Knoscape RF system, the principal application of which is to detect and deter shoplifting and employee theft of clothing and hard goods in retail establishments. Sentry also manufactures and distributes the Ranger system, which the Company believes is a particularly useful and cost efficient EAS system for high fashion retail stores with wide mall-type exit areas that ordinarily would require multiple Knoscape RF systems for adequate protection. The Knoscape RF and Ranger systems consist of radio signal transmission and monitoring equipment installed at exits of protected areas, such as doorways, elevator entrances and escalator ramps. The devices are generally located in panels or pedestals anchored to the floor for a vertical arrangement or mounted in or suspended from the ceiling (Ranger) and mounted in or on the floor in a horizontal arrangement. The panels or pedestals are designed to harmonize with the decor of the store. The monitoring equipment is activated by tags containing electronic circuitry, attached to merchandise transported through the monitored zone. The circuitry in the tag interferes with the radio signals transmitted through the monitoring system, thereby triggering alarms, flashing lights or indicators at a central control point, or triggering the transmission of an alarm directly to the security authorities. By means of multiple installation of one or more Ranger systems, the Company's products have the ability to protect any size entrance or exit.

Non-deactivatable reusable tags are manufactured in a variety of sizes and types and are attached directly to the articles to be protected by means of specially designed fastener assemblies. A clerk at the checkout desk removes a reusable tag from the protected article by use of a decoupling device specially designed to facilitate the removal of the fastener assemblies with a minimum of effort. Removal of the tag without a decoupler is very difficult and unauthorized removal will usually damage the protected article and thereby reduce its value to a shoplifter. Optional reminder stations automatically remind the store clerk, by means of audiovisual indicators, to remove the tag when the article is placed on the cashier's desk.

Disposable labels can be applied to products either by placing them directly on the outside packaging of the item or hidden within the product by the manufacturer. These labels can be deactivated, at the checkout desk, through the use of a deactivation device.

Knoscape RF and Ranger systems generally have an economic useful life of six years (although many of Sentry's systems have been operating for longer periods), have a negligible false alarm rate and are adaptable to meet the diversified article surveillance needs of individual retailers.

ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) DETECTION SYSTEMS

The primary application for both our MM1 and WAM electromagnetic theft detection systems is to detect and deter theft in libraries and bookstores.

The EM systems use detection monitors that are activated by electromagnetically sensitized strips. The EM targets are typically attached to the articles to be protected and are easily camouflaged on a wide array of products. The detection monitors used by the systems are installed at three to five foot intervals at the exits of protected areas. The magnetic targets can be supplied in many forms and are attractively priced. In addition, the EM targets can be manufactured to be activated and deactivated repeatedly while attached to the articles to be protected.

PATRON SELF CHECK BOOK BORROWING SYSTEMS

Libraries worldwide are struggling to reduce operating costs by applying cost effective technology solutions. The Sentry QuickCheck patron self check book borrowing system offers an ideal solution to gain an increasing share of the growing market for library security market in North America. The QuickCheck system is RFID ready and provides users access to circulation software, automatic security strip deactivation, automatic return ticket printing, user access to book renewals, multi-lingual software interface and on-screen user instructions. QuickCheck systems have been installed in Omaha Public Library, Palm Beach Public Library, Supreme Court of Canada, Harris County Public Library, Burlington Public Library, Vancouver Public Library, Ottawa Public Library, McGill University Library and Calgary Public Library.

RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID)

RFID is a wireless electronic data collection system that uses radio frequency signals to identify and track objects using readers and tiny integrated circuits in label format. Applications include library management, warehousing, parcel tracking, inventory control, asset protection and supply chain management. We are in the initial stages of introducing ISO standard, RFID labels, tags and readers for library management.

DIALOC ID SECURITY PRODUCTS

We also distribute EAS systems manufactured by Dialoc ID. The 9000-P 8.2 MHz system, which is housed in slender, self-contained Plexiglas panels, provides retailers with clear lines of sight at the front end along with the durability of solid Plexiglas. The panels can be custom printed with the retailer's logo for enhanced image and trade name awareness. The system's electronics, which are built-in to the base of the Plexiglas antenna, provide detection of 8.2 MHz labels and hard tags in aisles up to six feet wide. The 9000 PL system is offered in both single and dual aisle configurations and is compatible with all existing 8.2 MHz tags and checkout accessories.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Although the composition of our largest customers has changed from year to year, a significant portion of our revenues has been attributable to a limited number of major customers. In 2008, a sale to a dealer serving the Mexico City Metro accounted for 11% of total revenues and sales to FedEx accounted for 10% of total revenues. In 2007, Steve and Barry's accounted for approximately 18% of total revenues.

PRODUCTION

By the end of 2006, Sentry had outsourced substantially all of its SmartTrack manufacturing operations. Although we are not dependent upon any particular supplier, Sentry has made an investment in material and training with selected sub-contractors to supply major portions of our SmartTrack system. Most system parts are "off-the-shelf" components, and other materials and system components are designed by Sentry and manufactured to Sentry's specifications. Some minimal final assembly operations are conducted at the Company's facilities in

Ronkonkoma, New York. System components and parts include cameras, circuit boards, electric motors and a variety of machined parts. Each finished assembly undergoes a quality assurance check by Sentry prior to its shipment to an installation site. All SentryVision carriage assemblies are tested and burned in for 24 hours, resulting in approximately 3,000 travel and PTZ cycles prior to quality assurance sign off. Sentry is not required under any state or federal environmental law or regulations to obtain related licenses or permits in connection with its manufacturing and assembly operations.

Sentry produces at our facilities in Ronkonkoma, New York, or purchases through suppliers, its RF, Ranger, and EM systems, or their components. Production consists of final assembly operations of electronic and mechanical components that Sentry purchases from various suppliers. Independent contractors using existing molds and tooling produce plastic cases and antenna coils for the tags to Sentry's specifications. Sentry is not dependent on any one supplier or group of suppliers of components for its systems.

Our policy is to maintain our inventory at a level that is sufficient to meet projected demand for its products. We do not anticipate any difficulties in continuing to obtain suitable components for our products at competitive prices in sufficient quantities as and when needed.

We have a 51% interest in Custom Securities Industries Inc. ("CSI"), an Ontario company. Since its founding in 1988, CSI has established a worldwide reputation for innovation and excellence in the Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) Industry. Extensive experience and know-how in the leading EAS technologies, combined with expertise in materials converting, in-house development of proprietary products and the use of specially designed converting equipment, enables CSI to offer custom tailored solutions with a rapid turn around time. Over the years, CSI has acquired a wide range of knowledge and developed its own trade secrets and manufacturing procedures to ensure competitive pricing, a broad range of high quality products, and the ability to supply products in both small and large volumes. CSI offers EAS products compatible with Radio Frequency (RF), Electromagnetic (EM), and Acousto-Magnetic (AM) technologies. Whatever the particular application, from standard EM pressure sensitive labels to sequentially printed barcode labels, products are available.

CSI products are sold through distributors around the world in over 25 countries and every continent.

CSI also manufactures a broad range of Source Tagging Solutions for the Radio Frequency and Acousto-Magnetic technologies.

MARKETING

We market our SentryVision and conventional video systems through the direct efforts of salespersons located in select metropolitan areas across the United States and Canada, as well as through dealers/system integrators. In 2008, we employed 8 direct sales representatives, whose efforts were supplemented through three in-house sales support staff and independent sales representatives. We

also market our EAS products to smaller local and regional retailers through selected dealers and distributors. Sales are made into the library market on both a direct basis as well as through catalogs and dealers.

We market our products primarily through participation in trade shows, placement of ads in trade publications, direct mailings and through telemarketing. In addition, these efforts are augmented through our Website, which provides enhanced product and market oriented information. Internationally, we market SentryVision through system integrators and distributors including Honeywell, ADT, Chubb, Intrepid, BSC and Repromatic.

To date, most SentryVision and conventional video systems have been sold on a direct sale basis. Typical billing arrangements for SentryVision systems involve invoicing 50% of total sale upon shipment of the product and 50% on the completion of the installation. The successful introduction of our OperationalVideo program in the fourth quarter of 2007 has created important large reference sites that will help in growing the business.

While most of the current SentryVision and conventional video sales have been made to home centers, retail chains and distribution centers, our marketing plan for Sentry also emphasized a dealer program for institutional, industrial and international prospects.

We also market SentryVision through qualified security dealers and integrators. Much of the industrial and institutional SentryVision / VSS prospects are serviced by local security companies who design and install integrated video, access control and alarm systems. By working with these companies, we expected to be able to reach a far larger number of SentryVision prospects and penetrate the market more rapidly. The program has generated interest through trade advertising, direct mail and trade show participation. Domestic dealers did not generate significant SentryVision installations in industrial and institutional facilities in 2008.

In addition, we market SentryVision internationally using independent distributors on both an exclusive and nonexclusive basis. We sell our products to independent distributors at prices below those charged to end-users because distributors typically make volume purchases and assume marketing, customer training, installation, servicing and financing responsibilities. As of December 31, 2008, we have distributors in the UK, France, Mexico, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Poland, Singapore, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Hungary, Romania, Taiwan, Lebanon, Australia, Japan, South Africa, South Korea, Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Sentry EAS systems are principally marketed on a direct sales basis. In the case of the electromagnetic (EM) systems, detection targets, which are sold to the customer, are permanently attached to the item to be protected. Therefore, as the customer replenishes its inventory, additional targets will be required for those items to be protected. We also market a more expensive, removable, reusable detection tag for use with the Knoscape MM systems on certain products such as clothing and other soft goods.

RF and Ranger systems continue to be used by apparel and department stores that have wide exit areas and a desire for deterrence based on reusable hard tags. Knoscape RF systems detect both 2 MHz hard tags and 8 MHz labels. Sentry also markets an 8MHz P-2000 RF system designed for both hard and soft good customers.

Bookstores remain good prospects for EM systems due to the small size and low cost of EM strips. EM systems feature updated digital electronics that detect virtually all manufacturers' magnetic strips and can universally replace older magnetic strip systems manufactured by various EAS vendors. Sentry is the official supplier of the National Association of College Stores (NACS).

The library market continues to be the primary market for magnetic technology.

BACKLOG

Our backlog of orders was approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 2008, as compared to approximately $2.8 million at December 31, 2007. We anticipate that substantially all of the backlog present as of December 31, 2008 will be delivered within 12 months.

SEASONAL ASPECTS OF THE BUSINESS

Our current video product customers are primarily dependent on retail sales, which are seasonal and subject to significant fluctuations and are difficult to predict.

SERVICE

Installation services are performed by our personnel and by carefully screened and supervised subcontractors as well as authorized dealers and distributors. Repair and maintenance services are performed primarily by our personnel. All products sold are covered by a warranty period, generally, one year. After the warranty period, we offer our customers the option of entering into a maintenance contract with the Company or paying for service on a per call basis.

Installations of SentryVision systems typically take from three days to several weeks and involve mounting the enclosures, installing the controller unit, installing the carriage assembly, and connecting control and transmission cables to the central monitoring location. Items such as high voltage power termination wiring are typically the responsibility of the end user.

The use of subcontractors supervised by Company employees proved cost effective with no apparent sacrifice in quality. We have now established a network of qualified contractors that perform most of our SentryVision and conventional video surveillance system installations. Our technical staff now focuses on EAS, SentryVision and VSS service and maintenance and we rely on our well-established partner network for installation work. The model remains cost-effective and allows us to scale our efforts up or down as business requires without the risk of a fixed cost structure. This strategy has resulted in significant cost savings. In addition, we retain our reputation for technical expertise within the industry. We anticipate that this level of coverage will be adequate, coupled with our Service Partner Network, to service our customer base.

Our Design Center personnel continued to screen all service requests over the telephone, avoiding costly service calls. In addition, careful screening allowed us to ship replacement parts in advance of the technician's arrival increasing our ability to complete calls in a single visit.

COMPETITION

We operate in a highly competitive market with many companies engaged in the business of furnishing security services designed to protect against shoplifting and theft. In addition to EAS systems using the concept of tagged merchandise, such security services use, among other things, conventional PTZ dome and fixed mount VSS systems, traveling video systems, mirrors, guards, private detectives and combinations of the foregoing. We compete principally on the basis of the nature and quality of our products and services and the adaptability of these products to meet specific customer needs and price requirements.

To our knowledge, there are several other companies that market, directly or through distributors, conventional closed circuit video systems and/or EAS equipment to retail stores, of which Sensormatic (acquired by Tyco/ADT), Checkpoint Systems, Inc., GE Security, Pelco Manufacturing, Inc., Panasonic, Inc. and Honeywell are the Company's principal competitors. Outside the U.S., we are aware of other companies that market other types of traveling video systems including Lextar Technologies, Ltd. in Australia, T.E.B. in France and Sensormatic Europe. Some of our competitors have far greater financial resources, more experienced marketing organizations and a greater number of employees than the Company.

PATENTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Although patent protection is advantageous to Sentry, we do not consider any single patent or patent license we own or hold to be material to our operations. We believe that our competitive position ultimately will depend on our experience, know-how and proprietary data, engineering, marketing and service capabilities and business reputation, all of which are outside the scope of patent protection.

Sentry has a United States patent covering the cable-free transmission of a video signal to and from the carriage. This technology prevents degradation of the video signal, which can result from the movement of and prolonged friction caused by the carriage. Two additional U.S. patents were received for improvements made to the original technology, which has been incorporated into the SmartTrack product. Sentry also has six corresponding European patents and three foreign country patents. We intend to seek patent protection on specific aspects of the SentryVision system, as well as for certain aspects of new systems which may be developed for Sentry. There can be no assurance that any patents applied for will be issued, or that the patents currently held, or new patents, if issued, will be valid if contested or will provide any significant competitive advantage to Sentry.

We are not aware of any infringement of patents or intellectual property held by third parties. However, if Sentry is determined to have infringed on the rights of others, Sentry may be required to obtain licenses from such other parties. There can be no assurance that the persons or organizations holding desired technology would grant licenses at all or, if licenses were available, that the terms of such licenses would be acceptable to the Company. In addition, we could be required to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology.

Sentry has also relied on the registration of trademarks and trade names, as well as on trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements with its employees. While we intend to continue to seek to protect Sentry's proprietary technology and developments through patents, trademark registration and confidentiality agreements, we do not rely on such protection to establish and maintain Sentry's position in the marketplace. Management believes that improvement of Sentry's existing products, reliance upon trade secrets and on unpatented proprietary know-how, and the development of new products will be as important as patent protection in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage.

Sentry has 9 United States and Canadian patents relating to (i) the method and apparatus for the detection of movement of articles and accessory equipment employed by Sentry in its RF, Ranger and EM systems, (ii) various specific improvements used in the RF, Ranger and EM systems and (iii) various electrical theft detection methods, apparatus and improvements not presently used in any of Sentry's EAS systems.

Sentry's Custom Security Industry subsidiary has two United States patents related to a product authentication. One patent is for a system that measures certain magnetic properties of a marker with an electronic reader utilizing an electromagnetic search field and the second patent is for a unique reader suitable for this system.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

As of December 31, 2008, Sentry Technology Corporation had 4 full time employees engaged in research, engineering, product development and design. In addition, the Company may retain consultants to assist in specific areas related to research, engineering and product development. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was expended on Company-sponsored research.

The SmartTrack System continued to benefit from product improvement efforts focused on adding software features and reducing the cost of manufactured products. Other developments during 2008 incorporated improvements in business applications for retail operational management.

Additional projects included revisions to EAS products.

Developments to EM systems included the mechanical design of a second-generation "WAM2" Library system and a "WAM2" tuning board prototype. The system is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2009.

QuickCheck system developments included continuing cost reductions in system components and software upgrades to improve product capabilities and functions. In addition, we made improvements in software to incorporate a new height measurement sensor to prevent theft at the self-check station. A patent has been filed to protect important intellectual property. Management believes that this feature will offer a unique competitive position in the library self-serve market.

CSI is supporting a long term research effort at cole Polytechnique, University of Montreal, in conjunction with the National Science and Research Council of Canada, to develop improved magnetic sensors for antishoplifting and authentication.

REGULATION

Because Sentry's EAS and VSS systems use radio transmission and electromagnetic wave principles, such systems are subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") under the Communications Act of 1934. In those instances where it has been required, certification of such products by the FCC has been obtained. As we develop new products, application will be made to the FCC for certification or licensing when required. No assurance can be given that such certification or licensing will be obtained or that current rules and regulations of the FCC will not be changed in an adverse manner.

Our business plan calls for the sale and use of Sentry's products in domestic markets and, where consistent with contractual obligations, in international markets. Sentry's products may be subject to regulation by governmental authorities in various countries having jurisdiction over electronic and communication use. We intend to apply for certification of our products to comply with the requirements under the regulations of the countries in which we plan to market our products. No assurance can be given that such certification will be obtained or that current rules and regulations in such countries will not be changed in a manner adverse to Sentry.

We believe we are in material compliance with applicable United States, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries employed 65 full-time employees, of whom 13 were employed in administrative and clerical capacities, 4 in engineering, research and development, 21 in production and manufacturing support, 12 in sales and marketing and 15 in customer service and support. None of our employees are employed pursuant to collective bargaining agreements.

Our principal executive, administrative offices, research and development and distribution facilities are located in Ronkonkoma, New York, in a 20,000 square foot facility leased by the Company. In addition, we maintain a sales, administrative and distribution office in a leased 3,250 square foot facility in Toronto, Ontario. Our CSI subsidiary leases facilities for manufacturing and distribution totaling 7,000 square feet located in Thornhill, Ontario.

In August 2004, Bi-County Park Associates, Inc. d/b/a Ashlind Properties ("Bi-County") brought an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Suffolk, for the recovery of a real estate brokerage commission in the amount of approximately $250,000 relating to the termination of Bi-County's lease on its former Hauppauge facility. On December 10, 2007 a jury ruled in favor of the Company and no money was paid to Bi-County.

Although the Company is involved in ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, it is not presently a party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse determination of which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse affect on the Company's business or financial condition.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, there were no matters submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the critical accounting policies and areas that require the most significant judgments and estimates to be used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence and accrued warranty.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts -- We maintain an allowance for doubtful trade accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining collectibility, we review available customer financial statement information, credit rating reports as well as other external documents and public filings. When it is deemed probable that a specific customer account is uncollectible, that balance is included in the reserve calculation. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorated, impairing their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventory Obsolescence --We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those we project, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Impairment of long-lived assets -- We review our long-lived assets, property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and other assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is measured at fair value. If impairment indicators exist, we determine whether the projected undiscounted cash flows will be sufficient to cover the carrying value of such assets. This requires us to make significant judgments about the expected future cash flows of the asset group. The future cash flows are dependent on general and economic conditions and are subject to change. The Company was unable to justify the carrying value of the goodwill at December 31, 2007 as a result of inadequate cash flows; therefore, a charge to income in 2007 of $1,564,000 was recognized, representing the entire balance of goodwill.

Accrued Warranty -- We provide for the estimated cost of product warranty at the time revenue is recognized. We calculate the reserve utilizing historical product failure rates and service repair costs by product family. These rates are reviewed and adjusted periodically. We utilize judgment for estimating these costs and adjust our estimates as actual results become available.

Revenue Recognition -- We recognize revenue when installation is complete or other post-shipment obligations have been satisfied. For those products not requiring installation, or if installation costs are not material, the Company recognizes revenues upon shipment. Service revenues are recognized when earned and maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance contract period.

Related Party Transactions -- Details of related party transactions are included in Item 13 and in Note [13] of the Financial Statements of this Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007

Consolidated revenues were 6% lower in the year ended December 31, 2008 than in the year ended December 31, 2007. Our backlog of orders was approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of 7%, as compared to approximately $2.8 million at December 31, 2007. We anticipate that substantially all of the backlog present as of December 31, 2008 will be delivered within 12 months. Total revenues for the periods presented are broken out as follows:

 %
 2008 2007 Change
 ---- ---- ------
 (In Thousands)
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) $ 5,484 $ 6,656 (18)
Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) 510 501 2
SentryVision 4,865 3,894 25
 ------- ------- ----
Total sales 10,859 11,051 (2)
Service, maintenance and installation 1,849 2,447 (24)
 ------- ------- ----
Total revenues $12,708 $13,498 (6)
 ======= ======= ====

North American revenues represented $8.8 million or 69% of total revenues in 2008 compared to $11.2 million or 83% of total revenues in 2007. Total international sales were $3.9 million in 2008 compared to $2.3 million in 2007. Our sales to international dealers and distributors are denominated in U.S. dollars, therefore fluctuations of the Euro and other foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in 2008 had no impact on reported revenues. The most significant impact on total revenues on a comparative basis was the loss of one major domestic customer of $2.4 million which was offset partially by the increase in one new international customer for $1.3 million.

EAS sales decreased by 18% or $1,172,000 in 2008 compared to 2007. Domestic EAS sales were $4.7 million in 2008 compared to $5.9 million in 2007 and international EAS sales were $.8 million in both periods. This decrease is due to a de-emphasis on legacy EAS sales to retailers, as well as a decrease in label sales from our 51% owned subsidiary. VSS sales were up by 2% or $9,000 in 2008 compared to 2007. SentryVision sales were up by 25% or $971,000 in 2008 as compared to 2007. Domestic SentryVision sales were $1.7 million in 2008 compared to $2.5 million in 2007. This decrease is due to a loss of one major customer (Steve & Barry's), offset slightly by increases in sales to other customers including FedEx. International SentryVision sales were $3.2 million in 2008 compared to $1.4 million in 2007. This increase is primarily the result of a sale to a dealer serving the Mexico City Metro.

Service, maintenance and installation revenues were 24% lower in 2008 as compared to 2007 due to lower domestic sales revenue including the non-recurring installation revenue we received from Steve & Barry's during the prior year.

Cost of sales was 58% in 2008 compared to 56% in 2007. The increase in percentage is primarily due to an increase in the percentage of total sales to foreign dealers where we obtain lower margins.

The 15% decrease in customer service expenses in 2008 over 2007 is primarily due to lower subcontractor labor, installation material and travel costs due to lower domestic revenues from installed products. Outside service contractors are used in order to better manage our total customer service requirements during fluctuations in activity levels.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 9% lower in 2008 as compared to 2007. This decrease is principally due to a reduction in domestic warranty expenses, sales salaries and travel and freight expenses, offset somewhat by higher professional fees.

Research and development costs were 18% lower in 2008 as compared to 2007. The decrease in expenses in 2008 is primarily a result of decreased headcount and prototype costs.

The Company recognized a foreign exchange gain of $0.8 million during 2008 compared to a loss of $0.6 million in 2007 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar during 2008. The gain is principally a

result of short-term designated payables denominated in Canadian dollars and the impact of receivables denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company was unable to justify the carrying value of goodwill related to the purchase of Sentry Canada as a result of inadequate cash flows; therefore, a goodwill impairment charge of $1,564,000 was recognized in 2007, representing the entire balance of goodwill.

Net interest expense remained approximately the same in 2008 of $545,000 versus $546,000 in 2007. This is primarily due to lower interest rates during 2008 vs. 2007, which was offset by a higher average outstanding debt in 2008.

Non-cash amortization costs related to financing increased in 2008 by $264,000 as compared to 2007. This increase is primarily a result of an increase in amortization expense resulting from the issuance of additional warrants to Brookfield granted in connection with the extension of their debenture, as well as additional warrants issued to two of the Company's directors for loan guarantee extensions.

The income tax expense of $94,000 in 2008 is principally a result of the taxable income of Custom Security Industries (CSI), our 51% owned Canadian subsidiary, which cannot be offset by Sentry's net operating loss carryforwards. The income tax benefit of $40,000 in 2007 is a result of a reduction in the year-end 2007 estimated taxes of CSI.

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of $1,138,000 in the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to net loss of $3,678,000 in the year ended December 31, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2008, the Company continued to finance its operations principally through the loan guarantee extensions given from two of the Company's directors, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst, to the Company's principal lenders.

At December 31, 2008, we had cash and short term investments of $0.9 million, working capital of ($2.3) million and total assets of $6.0 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million. Cash was principally provided by the collection of accounts receivable and reduction in inventory levels. This was partially offset by cash used to pay down vendors.

Cash used in investing activities was $168,000 substantially due to the increase in short-term investments, changes in other assets and the purchase of manufacturing equipment at our 51% owned labeling plant. There are no significant projected capital expenditure requirements anticipated in the near term.

Cash used by financing activities was $550,000 during 2008. Borrowing availability under the credit facilities has been based upon the combined levels of receivables and inventory, which were lower during 2008. Due to the continued decline in the Company's financial position, RBC further reduced the maximum borrowing availability under its credit facility requiring the Company to pay down the loan during 2008 by $550,000.

The maximum borrowing under the demand loan facility was Canadian $3.6 million (U.S. $2.9 million). RBC increased the borrowing base formula by Canadian $1.0 million (U.S. $817,000) in exchange for additional security provided by two of the Company's directors. Borrowings under the facility are subject to certain limitations based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable at a rate of RBC's prime rate (3.5% at December 31, 2008), plus 2.75% per annum. Borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. As of December 31, 2008, the Company exceeded its facilities under the lending formula by approximately Canadian $670,000 (U.S. $547,000) (subject to the above limitations) under the demand loan. RBC agreed to forbear from the exercise of its rights and remedies under the security in respect of the indebtedness until October 31, 2008 or earlier in the event of the occurrence of default in accordance with the Forbearance Agreement, which was finalized on May 29, 2008. In accordance with the Forbearance Agreement the maximum borrowings were reduced to Canadian $3,175,000 (U.S. $2,593,000) and the interest rate was increased from RBC's prime rate plus 2.75% per annum to RBC's prime rate plus 3.25% per annum.

As of October 31, 2008, the Forbearance Agreement with RBC expired. On November 12, 2008, the Company and RBC extended the Forbearance Agreement to May 15, 2009. In accordance with the Forbearance Agreement extension, the maximum borrowings were reduced to Canadian $3,000,000 (U.S. $2,449,800) and the interest rate was further increased from RBC's prime rate plus 3.25% per annum to RBC's prime rate plus 3.75% per annum. At December 31, 2008 borrowings were at Canadian $2,900,000 (U.S. $2,368,000). There is no assurance that further extensions will be obtained.

In consideration for the guarantees provided by Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst to RBC, the Company paid a fee of $43,000, shared between them, paid in twelve equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 2.9 million shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $120,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in June 2006 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was one year. These guarantees expired in June 2007 and were subsequently renewed in July 2007 until April 30, 2008. In consideration of these guarantee renewals, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received a fee of $40,000, shared between them, paid in ten equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two- year warrants to purchase approximately 7.4 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.065 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $164,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in July 2007 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was ten months. These guarantees expired in April 2008 and were subsequently renewed in May 2008 until December 31, 2008. In consideration of these guarantee renewals, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received a fee of $33,000, shared between them, paid in eight equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 5 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $150,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in May 2008 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was eight months. These guarantees expired in December 2008 and were renewed until July 30, 2009. In consideration of these guarantees renewals, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst will receive a fee of $24,000, shared between them, paid in seven equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 13.2 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $.018 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $124,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in January 2009 is being taken into income over the period of the guarantee.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, $49,000 (2007 - $43,000) has been recorded in interest expense related to the above warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $216,000 (2007 - $148,000) has been recorded in non-cash amortization costs related to the above warrants.

In December 2006, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit agreement with Tradition Capital Bank. From December 15, 2006, through the expiration of the facility on June 15, 2007, the Company drew up to a maximum of $550,000 under the facility. Borrowings under this facility were secured by substantially all of the Company's assets in a second position to RBC. In addition, the loan was fully secured by personal guarantees of Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst. In consideration of these guarantees, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received a fee of $14,000, shared between them, paid in six equal monthly installments beginning in December 2006. As additional consideration, they received fully- vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 5.2 million shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $0.053 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $91,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in December 2006 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was six months. The credit facility and related guarantees expired in June 2007 and were subsequently renewed in July 2007 until April 30, 2008. In consideration of the guarantee renewals, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received a fee of $23,000, shared between them, paid in ten equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 4.2 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.065 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $94,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in July 2007 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was ten months.

On September 25, 2007, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst agreed to provide Tradition Capital Bank additional personal guarantees totaling $500,000, which increased the maximum the Company could draw to $1,050,000, until April 30, 2008, under the same terms and conditions as listed above. In consideration of the guarantees, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received a fee of $15,000, shared

between them, paid in seven equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 2.5 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $89,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in October 2007 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was seven months. On April 30, 2008 the above loan facility and related guarantees expired and were renewed until December 31, 2008. Interest is payable at the reference rate (Wall Street Journal prime, with an interest rate floor of 5.5%, currently 3.25%), plus 1.0% per annum. In consideration of these guarantee renewals, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received a fee of $35,000, shared between them, paid in eight equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 5.3 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $157,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in May 2008 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was eight months. On December 31, 2008 the above loan facility and related guarantees expired and were renewed until July 31, 2009 under similar terms and conditions. At December 31, 2008 borrowings were at the maximum amount available. In consideration of these guarantee renewals, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst will receive a fee of $31,000, shared between them, paid in seven equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, they received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 17.0 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $.018 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $160,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in January 2009 is being taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which is seven months. There is no assurance that further extensions will be obtained.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, $53,000 (2007 - $31,000) has been recorded in interest expense related to the above warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $245,000 (2007 - $178,000) has been recorded in non-cash amortization costs related to the above warrants.

In August 2007, Mr. Murdoch agreed to provide a personal guarantee for a Letter of Credit of $49,350 for a period of one year in favor of Palm Beach Public Library that the Company was unable to obtain on its own in order to complete a sale of the Company's self-service library systems. In consideration of this guarantee Mr. Murdoch received a fee of $2,000 paid in twelve equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, he received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 0.2 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $10,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," and beginning in August 2007 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was twelve months. This letter of credit and related guarantee expired in August 2008 and was subsequently renewed in August 2008 until August 2009. In consideration of this guarantee renewal, Mr. Murdoch will receive a fee of $2,000 paid over the next twelve months. As additional consideration, he received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 1.4 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.018 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $13,000 is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," and beginning in August 2008 is being taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which is twelve months. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $1,000 (2007 - $1,000) has been recorded in interest expense related to the above warrants and $1,000 will be expensed in 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $11,000 (2007 - $4,000) has been recorded in non-cash amortization costs related to the above warrants and $8,000 will be expensed in 2009.

In December 2007, Mr. Murdoch, Sentry's CEO and director, and Mr. Furst, a Sentry director, agreed to lend the Company $141,000 ($81,000 and $60,000, respectively) to secure a bid that the Company was unable to obtain on its own to sell products to an airport facility. In consideration of the loans, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received interest for the period of the loan at the Bank of America's prime rate (7.25%) plus 1% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $1,000 (2007 - $1,000) has been recorded in interest expense related to the loans. The loans were repaid in January 2008. Included in accrued liabilities for 2007 for this transaction is $142,000.

On May 17, 2007, our Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding shareholders approved an increase in the authorized number of Sentry's common shares from 160,000,000 to 190,000,000, principally in order to meet the requirements of the Brookfield Technology Fund investment.

On April 11, 2008, Brookfield extended its maturity of the debenture to December 31, 2008. The 5,000,000 warrants that were originally issued expired. In consideration of this renewal, Brookfield received fully- vested, two-year warrants to purchase 5 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $150,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in May 2008 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was eight months. This extension

expired on December 31, 2008. On November 24, 2008 Brookfield further extended its maturity of the debenture to July 30, 2009. There is no assurance that further extensions will be obtained.

We will require positive cash flows from operations to meet our working capital needs over the next twelve months. While the Company has shown decreased levels of revenues, it achieved a small operating profit of $248,000, which was achieved in part as a result of a $817,000 foreign exchange gain. This has substantially reduced the Company's available cash reserves and limited our ability to secure additional bank financing.

We are striving to improve our gross margins and continue to control selling, general and administrative expenses. There can be no assurance, however, that changes in our plans or other events affecting our operations will not result in accelerated or unexpected cash requirements, or that we will be successful in achieving positive cash flow from operations or obtaining adequate financing through our credit facility. Our future cash requirements are expected to depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the ability to generate positive cash flow from operations; (ii) the ability to raise additional capital or obtain additional financing; and (iii) economic conditions. In the event that sufficient positive cash flow from operations is not generated, we will seek additional financing to satisfy current operating cash flow deficiencies. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available on terms that are satisfactory to the Company, or that any such financing will be sufficient to provide the full amount of funding necessary.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8, "Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities" ("FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)"). FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) amends FASB SFAS 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB SFAS 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose entity ("SPE") that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)" are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise's involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161" ("FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4"). FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in a hybrid instrument. FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 also amend FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of

Others," to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. Further, FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies the Board's intent about the effective date of FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants." Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets" ("FSP SFAS 142-3"). FSP SFAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations," and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). FSP SFAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

INFLATION

The Company does not consider inflation to have a material impact on the results of operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain "forward-looking statements" (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or the "PSLRA") that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry in which the Company operates, as well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates" and "believes" and variations of such words and similar expressions generally indicate that a statement is forward-looking. The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the PSLRA by cautioning readers that many important factors discussed herein, among others, may cause the Company's results of operations to differ from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include: (i) the risk that any delay or cancellation of orders from one or more of Sentry's major customers may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition; (ii) the risk that anticipated growth in the demand for the Company's products in the retail, commercial and industrial

sectors will not develop as expected, whether due to competitive pressures in these markets or to any other failure to gain market acceptance of the Company's products; (iii) the risk that anticipated revenue growth through the domestic and international dealers programs does not develop as expected; (iv) the risk that the Company may not find sufficient qualified Service Partners to provide future installation services; (v) the risk that the Company will not be able to retain key personnel; (vi) the risk that the borrowing availability under our credit facilities will not be adequate to meet the Company's growth requirements; and (vii) the risk arising from the large market position and greater financial and other resources of Sentry's principal competitors, as described under "Item 1. Business-Competition."

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Company is exposed to currency risk as some of the Company's sales and purchases are incurred in Canadian dollars resulting in Canadian denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. A portion of its expenses is incurred in Canadian dollars and Euros, which would result in foreign denominated accounts payable. In addition, certain of the Company's cash is denominated in Canadian dollars. These balances are therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in those currencies.

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our debt facilities since some of those instruments bear interest at variable rates. At December 31, 2008, we had outstanding borrowings under variable interest rate debt agreements that totaled approximately $3,418,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sentry Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sentry Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 Sentry Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, lack of profitability and negative working capital and decreased consolidated financial position as a result of not meeting its business plan, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Sentry Technology Corporation, a publicly traded Delaware Corporation, was established on February 12, 1997. Its corporate predecessors had been in business for more than 40 years. Sentry Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Sentry" or the "Company"), design, manufacture, sell and install a complete line of Video Surveillance Systems (VSS), Electro-Magnetic (EM) and RFID based Library Management systems as well as Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) EAS systems. The VSS product line features SentryVision, SmartTrack, a proprietary, patented traveling Surveillance System, and includes conventional pan, tilt and zoom ("PTZ") and fixed camera video systems. The Company's products are used by libraries to secure inventory and improve operating efficiency, by retailers to deter shoplifting and internal theft and by industrial and institutional customers to protect assets and people.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred losses and decreased financial position as a result of not meeting its business plan. The Company had losses of approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 (2007 - $3.7 million) and as of December 31, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $53.5 million (2007 - deficit of $52.4 million). The Company's continuation as a going concern is uncertain. The Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement on May 29, 2008, with its primary lender, Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), who agreed to forbear from the exercise of their rights and remedies in respect of the indebtedness until October 31, 2008 or earlier in the event of the occurrence of a default in the agreement. As of October 31, 2008, the Forbearance Agreement expired. On November 12, 2008, the Company and RBC extended the Forbearance Agreement to May 15, 2009 with revised terms and conditions. The Company's convertible debenture holders and Tradition Capital Bank initially agreed to extend maturity to December 31, 2008, and subsequently agreed to extend to July 30, 2009. There is no assurance that further extensions will be obtained. Management plans to pursue raising additional funds through future equity or debt financing to satisfy commitments to its primary lenders and convertible debenture holders until it achieves profitable operations. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. The Company's continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to raise funds and achieve and sustain profitable operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned (Sentry Technology Canada Inc. and Knogo Caribe Inc.) and majority-owned (Custom Security Industries Inc.) subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of security devices when installation is complete or other post-shipment obligations have been satisfied. For those products not requiring installation or if installation costs are not material, the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment.

Service revenues are recognized when services are performed and maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the maintenance contract period.

Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are unbilled accounts receivable of $3,000 and $18,000, respectively.

Deferred income consists of maintenance contracts billed or paid in advance.

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary investments with original maturities of less than ninety days to be cash equivalents. Temporary cash investments are placed with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the Company's cash deposits with any one financial institution may exceed federally insured limits.

Short-term investments include highly liquid investments with initial maturity of between three and twelve months. Included in short-term investments in 2008 and 2007 is $82,000 and $100,000, respectively, of restricted funds used as collateral on Banker's Acceptances.

Losses from uncollectible accounts are provided for by utilizing the allowance for doubtful accounts method based upon management's estimate of uncollectible amounts. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable and analyzes potential bad debts, customer concentrations, credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold and are included in accrued liabilities. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims.

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for using the straight-line method over their related estimated useful lives.

Other assets consist of security deposits receivable, patents and other intangibles (including trade secrets and customer relationships). Cost and expenses incurred in obtaining patents and other intangibles are amortized over the remaining life of the patents and other intangibles, not exceeding 17 years, on a straight-line basis.

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill is not amortized but reviewed annually for impairment. The Company was unable to justify the carrying value of the goodwill at December 31, 2007 as a result of inadequate cash flows; therefore, a charge to income in 2007 of $1,564,000 was recognized, representing the entire balance of goodwill.

The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income
(loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the statements of stockholders' equity, and consists of net earnings (loss) and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale marketable securities; foreign currency translation adjustments; changes in market value of future contracts that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 87 "Employers' Accounting for Pensions".

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows, without interest charges, will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment is measured at fair value. The Company completed its annual review of impairment and determined that long-lived assets were not impaired.

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Management provides a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets for amounts which are not considered "more likely than not" to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("Interpretation 48"), on January 1, 2007. There was no effect on the Company's financial statements at January 1, 2007 resulting from the implementation of Interpretation No. 48 since there were no unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007.

There were no additions or reductions in unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment", and related interpretations, or "SFAS No. 123(R)", using the modified prospective transition method and therefore will not restate prior period results. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", ("APB No. 25"), and revises guidance in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", ("SFAS No. 123"). Among other things, SFAS No. 123(R) requires that compensation expense be recognized in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. The modified prospective transition method applies to (a) unvested stock options under the 1997 and 2007 Stock Incentive Plans based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) any new share-based awards granted, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
123(R). Additionally, stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards on a straight-line basis, which is generally commensurate with the vesting term.

SFAS No. 123(R) requires the benefits associated with tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow as previously required. In 2008 and in 2007, the Company did not record any excess tax benefit generated from option exercises.

The Company has issued convertible debt with non-detachable conversion features and detachable warrants. The values assigned to the warrants and embedded conversion feature of the debt are based on the guidance of Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF") No. 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" ("EITF No. 98-5"), EITF No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF No. 00-19"), SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150") and EITF No. 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments of the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force" ("EITF No. 00-27"). The non-detachable conversion feature and detachable warrants are recorded as a discount to the related debt either as additional paid-in capital or a derivative liability, depending on the guidance, using the intrinsic value method or relative fair value method, respectively. The debt discount associated with the warrants and embedded conversion feature, if any, is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debenture or upon earlier conversion of the debenture using either the effective yield method or the straight-line method, as appropriate.

The functional currency of the Company's foreign entities is the local currency, which is Canadian dollars. The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the year. The gains or losses resulting from the translation are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Deficit and are excluded from net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings.

Shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and approximated $284,000 and $303,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

In December 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8, "Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities" ("FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)"). FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) amends FASB SFAS 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets. It also amends FASB SFAS 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose entity ("SPE") that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE and (b) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)" are intended to provide greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferor's continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise's involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R) is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161" ("FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4"). FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in a hybrid instrument. FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 also amend FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. Further, FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies the Board's intent about the effective date of FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants." Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets" ("FSP SFAS 142-3"). FSP SFAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations," and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). FSP SFAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The maximum borrowing under the demand loan facility was Canadian $3.6 million (U.S. $2.9 million). RBC increased the borrowing base formula by Canadian $1.0 million (U.S. $817,000) in exchange for additional security provided by two of the Company's directors. Borrowings under the facility are subject to certain limitations based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable at a rate of RBC's prime rate (3.5% at December 31, 2008), plus 2.75% per annum. Borrowings under this facility are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.

The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to the increase in net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been recorded against the net deferred tax assets, because it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

On April 30, 2004, Sentry entered into a $2,000,000 secured convertible debenture with Brookfield Technology Fund ("Brookfield"), an alternative investment fund established by Brookfield Asset Management (formerly known as Brascan Technology Fund and Brascan Asset Management, respectively), to invest in early stage, technology-based companies with high growth potential.

Key terms of the transaction are as follows:

- Four-year term.
- Interest rate of 8% per annum.
- Redeemable at Sentry's option after 18 months.
- Conversion price equal to the market price, at time of conversion, less a discount of 30% with a maximum conversion price of $0.12 per share.
- Conversion is at the option of Brookfield when market share price is equal to or greater than $0.17 per share or with the approval of Sentry's Board of Directors when the market share price is less than $0.17 per share.
- Sentry will provide most favored pricing to all Brookfield affiliates and expects to be a supplier of security and identification products to the Brookfield affiliates.
- Brookfield was issued warrants for 5,000,000 common shares of Sentry, priced at $0.15 per share, exercisable anytime up to April 30, 2008.
- Brookfield is entitled to one seat on Sentry's Board of Directors or will participate as an observer.

The convertible debenture is secured by a general security interest over all the assets and properties of Sentry. The amount is subordinate to the existing credit facilities.

The proceeds of the financing, to be used primarily for working capital, were initially allocated between the convertible debenture ($1,835,000) and the warrants ($165,000) based on their respective fair values in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-27 "Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments". The difference between the face value of the debenture and the allocated value was being charged to interest and financing expenses over the term of the convertible debenture. No beneficial conversion feature has been recognized under the term of the convertible debenture.

Certain other warrants to purchase 425,000 common shares of Sentry at exercise prices ranging from $0.18 to $0.20 per share were issued in conjunction with the convertible debenture. The warrants were exercisable over one to three years. The fair value of these warrants ($49,000) was charged to operations over the life of the warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2008, nil (2007 - $5,000) was recorded in interest and financing expenses related to these warrants. These options expired during 2007.

Sentry's Board of Directors and shareholders owning a majority of Sentry common stock approved the transaction with Brookfield.

On April 11, 2008, Brookfield extended its maturity of the debenture to December 31, 2008. The 5,000,000 warrants that were originally issued expired. In consideration of this renewal, Brookfield received fully- vested, two-year warrants to purchase 5 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $150,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and beginning in May 2008 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was eight months. This extension expired on December 31, 2008. On November 24, 2008 Brookfield further extended its maturity of the debenture to July 30, 2009. There is no assurance that further extensions will be obtained.

The Company leases certain administrative and manufacturing facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates to 2011. Rent expense related to operating leases for 2008 and 2007 was $305,000 and $323,000 per year, respectively. Minimum annual rental commitments are $176,000 in 2009, $41,000 in 2010 and $19,000 in 2011.

The Company leases certain administrative equipment under non-cancelable capital leases that expire at various dates to 2011. Minimum annual rental commitments are $2,000 in 2009, $3,000 in 2010 and $1,000 in 2011.

In January 1997, the Company adopted the Sentry Technology Corporation Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan permits eligible employees to make voluntary contributions to a trust, up to a maximum of 35% of compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Company may elect to contribute a matching contribution equal to a designated percentage of the eligible employee's deferral election. The Company may also make discretionary contributions, subject to certain conditions, as defined in the Plan. No Company contributions were made in 2008 or 2007.

The Company and several key executives entered into employment agreements with remaining terms of up to two years for which the Company will have a commitment of $264,000. Also, the president of the Company's 51% owned subsidiary, Custom Security Industries Inc., is entitled to receive 10% of its pretax profits.

In August 2004, Bi-County Park Associates, Inc. d/b/a Ashlind Properties ("Bi-County") brought an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Suffolk, for the recovery of a real estate brokerage commission in the amount of approximately $250,000 relating to the termination of Bi-County's lease on its former Hauppauge facility. On December 10, 2007 a jury ruled in favor of the Company and no money was paid to Bi-County.

Although the Company is involved in ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, it is not presently a party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse determination of which, either individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse affect on the Company's business or financial condition.

Transactions between related parties are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Mr. Murdoch, Sentry's CEO and director, and Mr. Furst, a Sentry director, provided personal guarantees to existing loans from Tradition Bank and RBC. Please refer to Note 7 for details.

In August 2007, Mr. Murdoch agreed to provide a personal guarantee for a Letter of Credit of $49,350 for a period of one year in favor of Palm Beach Public Library that the Company was unable to obtain on its own in order to complete a sale of the Company's self-service library systems. In consideration of this guarantee Mr. Murdoch received a fee of $2,000 paid in twelve equal monthly installments. As additional consideration, he received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 0.2 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $10,000 was determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," and beginning in August 2007 was taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which was twelve months. This letter of credit and related guarantee expired in August 2008 and was subsequently renewed in August 2008 until August 2009. In consideration of this guarantee renewal, Mr. Murdoch will receive a fee of $2,000 paid over the next twelve months. As additional consideration, he received fully-vested, two-year warrants to purchase approximately 1.4 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.018 per share. The fair value of these warrants of $13,000 is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," and beginning in August 2008 is being taken into income over the period of the guarantee, which is twelve months. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $1,000 (2007 - $1,000) has been recorded in interest expense related to the above warrants and $1,000 will be expensed in 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $11,000 (2007 - $4,000) has been recorded in non-cash amortization costs related to the above warrants and $8,000 will be expensed in 2009.

In December 2007, Mr. Murdoch, Sentry's CEO and director, and Mr. Furst, a Sentry director, agreed to lend the Company $141,000 ($81,000 and $60,000, respectively) to secure a bid that the Company was unable to obtain on its own to sell products to an airport facility. In consideration of the loans, Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Furst received interest for the period of the loan at the Bank of America's prime rate (7.25%) plus 1% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $1,000 (2007 - $1,000) has been recorded in interest expense related to the loans. The loans were repaid in January 2008. Included in accrued liabilities for 2007 for this transaction is $142,000.

The (loss) earnings per share calculations (basic and diluted) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. There were no reconciling items in the numerator or denominator of the loss per share calculations in either of the periods presented. Options to purchase 2,150,000 and 2,057,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $0.09 and $0.10 were outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Convertible debentures and warrants were also not included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan of Sentry (the "1997 Plan"), which is shareholder approved, permits the granting of common share options and shares to its employees for up to 6,369,365 shares of common stock as stock-based compensation. This plan expired as of January 14, 2007 and as such, there were no remaining shares available for grant under this plan at December 31, 2008. The plan was renewed on May 18, 2007 (the "2007 Plan"), is shareholder approved and permits the granting of common share options and shares to its employees for up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock as stock-based compensation. As of December 31, 2008, there were 4,283,500 common shares available for grants under this Plan. The stock option committee may grant awards to eligible employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards, phantom stock awards or stock appreciation rights. Stock options may be granted as incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Such options normally become exercisable at a rate of 20% per year over a five-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

There was no cash received from exercise of options during either 2008 or 2007.

The assumptions used for the specified reporting periods and resulting estimates of weighted average fair value per share of options granted during those periods were as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options represents the excess of market price of the Company's stock over the weighted average exercise price of the price of the outstanding and exercisable option shares. At December 31, 2008, the aggregate intrinsic value of options has been shown as $0 because the exercise price of outstanding and exercisable option shares exceeded the period-end market price of the Company's common stock.

The compensation cost recognized in income for stock-based compensation was $22,000 for 2008 and $26,000 for 2007.

As of December 31, 2008, there was $31,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options per share granted during the year was $0.03 in 2008 and $0.04 in 2007.

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from the financial instruments. The fair value of the financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

The Company is exposed to currency risk as some of the Company's sales and purchases are incurred in Canadian dollars resulting in Canadian denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable. A portion of its expenses is incurred in Canadian dollars and Euros, which would result in foreign denominated accounts payable. In addition, certain of the Company's cash is denominated in Canadian dollars. These balances are therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in those currencies.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to these receivables are limited as the Company conducts regular assessments of credit issues. The Company grants credit to customers who are principally in the retail industry and libraries. During 2008, revenues from one customer totaled 11% of total revenues and revenues from another customer totaled 10% of total revenues; no other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. During 2007, revenues from one customer represented approximately 18% of total revenues; no other customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues. The Company believes that there is no unusual exposure associated with the collection of these receivables.

The Company is exposed to interest risk on its bank indebtedness, demand loan and revolving line of credit.

None.

Internal Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed (i) to collect the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file with the SEC; (ii) to record, process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC; and (iii) to ensure that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Annual Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 (the end of our fiscal year), based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires the Company's officers, Directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, Directors and greater than ten-percent Stockholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to the Company, or written representations, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, Directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with, except the following: (i) Robert D. Furst, Jr., a member of the Board, filed a late report on Form 5 on March 10, 2009 with the SEC, for the granting of warrants for 4,625,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, which was granted on May 1, 2008 and for the granting of stock options to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which was granted on August 13, 2008; (ii) Peter L. Murdoch, the Company's President, CEO and member of the Board, filed a late report on Form 5 on March 11, 2009 with the SEC, for the granting of warrants for 5,625,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, which was granted on May 1, 2008; and for the grant of warrants for 1,370,833 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.018 per share, which was granted on November 14, 2008; and (iii) Jonathan
