ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company provides a broad line of protective services for its customers, including guard, alarm, armored and courier services. The Company believes that, based on revenues and the variety of services offered, it is the largest and broadest-based supplier in the protective services industry in the United States.
COMPANY'S BUSINESS UNITS
The Company's protective services business is divided into four business units: guard services, alarm services, armored services and courier services. Information concerning the revenues, operating profit or loss and identifiable assets attributable to each of the Company's business units is incorporated herein by reference to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
GUARD SERVICES
The guard services unit provides a variety of guard and related security services under the Wells Fargo(R), Burns(R), Globe(R) and other service marks to approximately 14,000 government and business customers from approximately 281 locations throughout the United States, and in Canada, Colombia and the United Kingdom. The Company believes that its guard services unit is the largest contract guard services operation in the world, measured by revenues.
The Company's guard services unit supplies contract uniformed and plainclothes security officers, who may or may not be armed, to perform a wide variety of tasks. These security officers patrol and monitor commercial, financial, industrial, residential and governmental facilities providing deterrence against crime and breach of governmental security regulations and detection of fire, accidents and other casualties. The security officers also monitor electronic systems and control public and employee access to facilities. Specialized assignments include nuclear and conventional electric power plant security, pre-departure screening of passengers and luggage at airports, mailroom services and investigative services, including background investigations of prospective employees.
The guard services unit employs approximately 70,000 security officers. Security officers undergo a standardized pre-employment screening program that features mandatory drug screening, criminal record checks at the county and municipal court level and verification of consumer credit reports, Social Security information and drivers' license records. Security officers receive classroom orientation and field training in safety, first aid and security techniques and in the handling of specific problems applicable to particular industries or situations.
The guard services unit markets guard services through approximately 150 sales representatives nationwide and in Canada, Colombia and the United Kingdom. Sales personnel operate out of local branch and sales offices. The guard services unit also bids on contracts with governmental agencies.
Guard services contracts generally provide for such services on a continuing basis and generally are terminable by either party upon 30 to 60 days notice. Charges for guard services are negotiated with customers and are based upon payment of a specified amount per guard hour. Typically, such charges are adjusted for any change in any law, ruling or collective bargaining agreement causing a change in work hours, wage rates, working conditions or other costs. Investigative services are generally provided under specific arrangements, with charges varying according to the nature of the assignment.
ALARM SERVICES
The alarm services unit provides electronic security services in the United States and Canada under the Wells Fargo(R) service mark for its commercial customers and under the Pony Express(R) service mark for its residential customers. In addition, this unit provides an integrated guard, patrol and alarm service to Bel Air, Beverly Hills and other suburbs of Los Angeles under the trade name Bel-Air Patrol. The Company believes that its alarm services unit is one of the largest electronic security service operations in the United States, measured by revenues. The unit has approximately 2,440 employees.
Commercial. The alarm services unit designs, installs, monitors and services electronic detection systems located at customers' premises. These systems are tailored to customers' needs and may include intrusion and fire detection, critical process and sprinkler monitoring, access control and closed-circuit television monitoring systems. The Company's alarm systems and devices may be monitored on the premises of the customer by the customer's own personnel or linked through telephone lines or long range radio to one of 12 central stations operated by the Company in the United States and Canada. The Company also services its installed systems.
The alarm services unit services approximately 109,000 security systems in financial institutions, industrial and commercial businesses and complexes, warehouses, facilities of federal, state and local governments, defense installations, and health care and educational facilities.
The majority of the Company's monitoring contracts are for an initial five- year period with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party. Upon installation, a customer pays an installation fee and agrees to pay an annual service charge for ordinary maintenance and monitoring during the life of the contract. It has been the unit's experience that its customers generally continue the service after expiration of the initial term of the contract and enter into new five-year monitoring contracts.
The alarm services unit conducts its sales, installation and service operations from 37 branch offices in the United States and Canada, some of which are on the same premises as a monitoring station, and additional satellite offices. The alarm services unit has a nationwide sales force that is separated into broad-based commercial groups, as well as specialized sales teams that address the specific needs of the financial community, engineered systems market and other high growth segments of the industry. One group, for example, focuses on multi-location companies such as national retail chains and fast food outlets that require a single point of control for planning, servicing, monitoring and reporting for all locations.
The alarm services unit also makes direct sales of security equipment to government and commercial users (including other companies in the alarm business) and designs, assembles and sells engineered systems for commercial fire suppression.
Residential. The alarm services unit also installs fire and intrusion protection systems for residential customers under the Pony Express(R) service mark. Residential customer sales and service are generally performed from the same facilities as for commercial accounts. Residential systems are installed by the Company with monitoring agreements and often with maintenance agreements. The majority of the residential monitoring contracts are for an initial period of three to five years with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party. The unit services approximately 25,600 residential security systems.
Bel-Air Patrol. The Company also provides a complete protective package, including central station alarm service and surveillance systems, security guards and day and night patrols, to residents in Bel Air and Beverly Hills and other nearby communities of Los Angeles. The Company provides these services to approximately 12,000 customers under the trade name Bel-Air Patrol.
The alarm services unit purchases electronic equipment and component parts for systems from a number of suppliers, and is not dependent upon any single source for such equipment or parts.
ARMORED SERVICES
The armored services unit is a security-related cash services business that provides traditional armored transport services, automatic teller machine ("ATM") services and cash management services in the United States under the Wells Fargo(R) service mark. The unit employs approximately 6,100 employees at approximately 136 facilities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The Company's armored and ATM businesses use a fleet of approximately 1,770 vehicles to transport approximately $5 billion of currency and securities each business day. The Company believes it is the second largest armored transportation operation in the United States, measured by revenues.
Armored Transport. The Company provides vault storage and specialized, secure transportation services using armed guards in carrying currency, securities and other valuables for banks and national and local retail customers.
The Company provides armored transport services for over 14,000 customers. Most of the customer contracts are for a multi-year term with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party. It has been the unit's experience that its customers generally continue the service after the initial term of the contract.
The armored transport services operation has a sales force of approximately 40 people dedicated to the solicitation of transportation-related accounts and a separate sales force that focuses solely on transportation-related accounts for national retail customers. In recent years the Company has expanded its armored express service, which offers deposit pick-up services in small to medium sized markets for retailers who have not traditionally used armored transport services.
Generally, the Company assumes responsibility for the safe arrival at the destination of transported commodities. The armored transport unit maintains a risk management department that is responsible for loss prevention, security investigation, employee safety and training and coordination with local and federal law enforcement personnel.
ATM Servicing. The armored transport unit also provides special services to approximately 25,000 ATMs on a national basis. The Company believes it is the leading servicer of ATMs in the United States, measured by both revenues and the number of ATMs serviced.
The Company controls its ATM services through an automated national dispatching center located in Columbia, Maryland. The dispatch center coordinates all customer requests and directs field technicians throughout the country. The automation system provides detailed service confirmation data both internally and to the customer. ATM servicing is a time-critical business and the Company guarantees a response time of 90 minutes or less to its major accounts.
The Company offers financial institutions a complete range of management and maintenance services for ATM networks. The Company provides cash preparation and replenishment, deposit collection and verification, on-site balancing of ATM funds, preventive maintenance and first and second line maintenance services, including necessary hardware maintenance. The Company also sells refurbished ATM equipment.
The Company's ATM servicing unit has a sales force of approximately five persons. Most of the customer contracts are for a multi-year term with automatic renewal for additional one-year terms, unless terminated by either party.
Cash Management Services. The armored transport unit also provides cash management services to approximately 500 financial institutions and retail customers. These highly automated services include currency storage and preparation, micro-encoding of checks, deposit verification and consolidation, coin wrapping and storage and food stamp processing. Most of the customer contracts are for a multi-year term with automatic renewal for additional one- year terms, unless terminated by either party.
COURIER SERVICES
The courier services unit transports time-sensitive packages for commercial businesses and non-negotiable financial documents for Federal Reserve banks and financial institutions through 34 branch and 82 satellite offices in 32 states under the Pony Express(R) service mark. The unit provides ground courier services through a fleet of approximately 3,300 vehicles and commercial and charter air service for longer distance or extremely time-critical shipments.
Although the Pony Express service mark traces its roots to the Pony Express of Old West fame, the present courier operation began as a financial commodity courier transporting cancelled checks and other non-negotiable financial documents among financial institutions as a part of the armored transportation unit. While shipments of non-negotiable financial documents are still a substantial part of the unit's business, the courier services unit also delivers small packages, particularly business-to-business shipments of parts, extremely urgent mail, film, medical and pharmaceutical supplies and other commodities. The primary focus of the courier service unit is same-day or next-day service by ground transportation in intrastate and regional interstate markets. The typical customer ships multiple, time-critical, small shipments on a daily or weekly basis from one or more locations to one or more other locations within a 500- mile radius. The Company may design a customized distribution system initially for one or two large customers and make available to smaller customers the excess capacity on such system.
The courier services unit attempts to meet customer needs for secure transportation through flexible and customized services. Shipments are picked up and delivered by uniformed courier guards who are trained in security measures. The unit has developed sophisticated information systems that provide automated billing, computer-assisted routing and package tracking and other programs that enhance customer service. The unit is expanding its use of PonyTrak/TM/, an electronic tracking system that uses a hand-held scanner to record pickup and delivery times, dates and locations by reading package bar codes. The Company offers services outside of normal business hours that sometimes require couriers to unlock and enter customer premises and secure premises when leaving.
The unit employs approximately 4,800 persons. The unit leases approximately 60 percent of its vehicles from its employees. The Company believes such lease arrangements provide a competitive advantage because such employees tend to provide
better customer service, drive more safely and have a more vested interest in the success of the business.
The courier services unit operates both as a common and contract carrier and uses a combination of tariffs and shipping contracts to control the terms, conditions and rates applicable to the transportation of shipments. Rates are dependent upon many factors, including the weight and type of the shipped item, the distance and urgency of the shipment and the geographical location.
COMPETITION
The guard services unit competes with major national firms and numerous smaller regional and local companies providing similar services. Competition in the security guard industry is based on price in relation to the quality of service, the scope of services performed, the extent and quality of guard supervision, recruiting and training and name recognition.
The alarm services unit competes with major national firms and numerous smaller regional and local companies. Competition in the alarm services industry is based on price in relation to the quality of service, the scope of alarm installation and service, and the level of technological and engineering sophistication.
The armored services unit competes with major national firms and numerous smaller regional and local companies. Competition in the armored transport industry is based primarily on price in relation to quality of service, the scope of services performed, quality of cargo insurance and name recognition.
The courier services unit competes with numerous regional and local courier companies. Competition in the courier industry is based primarily on price in relation to quality of service and size and configuration of distribution routes. Because of low barriers to entry in some areas, smaller local competitors with substantially lower overhead expenses are often able to compete effectively with the Company for local shipments.
REGULATION
Due to the nature of the Company's business, its operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, county and municipal laws, regulations and licensing requirements. The Company believes that its operations are in substantial compliance with those laws, regulations and requirements.
The Company's guard services operations are subject to a variety of city, county and state firearm and occupational licensing laws. In addition, many states have laws requiring training and registration of security officers, regulating the use of badges, identification cards and uniforms and imposing minimum bond surety and insurance requirements.
Federal legislation has been introduced relating to security officer qualification and training. Similar legislation is pending in several states. The Company generally supports the creation of standards for the industry and does not expect that the establishment of such standards will have a material affect on its guard services operations.
The Company's alarm services operations are subject to regulatory requirements of federal, state and local authorities. In addition, this unit relies upon the use of telephone lines to transmit signals, and the cost of such lines and the type of equipment which may be used are currently regulated by both federal and state governments. In some instances, the Company contracts with the local government to permit it to link a customer's business or home directly into the local police or fire department station for which it may pay a fee to such local government. As a result of a high incidence of false alarms in some communities, some local governments have imposed assessments, fines and penalties on customers based on the number of false alarms reported, or have restricted police response to systems producing excessive false alarms.
Federal legislation became effective in 1995 that abolished all intrastate regulatory control over prices, routes and services to which the Company's armored and courier units had previously been subject. Such operations are subject to regulation by federal and state agencies with respect to safety of employees, operations and equipment, vehicle emissions and underground fuel storage tanks.
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subjected to penalties or fines as the result of licensing irregularities or the misconduct of one or more of its agents or employees. In addition, under principles of common law, the Company can generally be held liable for acts or omissions of its agents or employees performed in the course and scope of their employment. In addition, some states have statutes that expressly impose on the Company legal responsibility for the conduct of its employees.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The nature of the services provided by the Company potentially exposes it to greater risks of liability for employee acts, injuries (including workers' compensation claims) or omissions than may be posed by other service businesses.
The Company often obtains customer indemnification or liability limitations in its contracts to mitigate this risk exposure. In addition to self-insurance reserves, the Company carries insurance of various types, including general liability coverage. The Company obtains such insurance at rates and upon terms negotiated periodically with various underwriters. The loss experience of the Company and, to some extent, other protective services companies affects premium rates charged to the Company. The Company generally maintains insurance coverage for punitive damages, although the laws of many states limit or prohibit insurance coverage for liability for punitive damages. The Company does not believe that limitations on, or the uncertainty of, insurance
coverage for punitive damages in certain states in which it operates is likely to be material, based upon the Company's prior experience with punitive damages claims. The Company also attempts to manage its risk liability through analysis of customer facilities and transportation routes and employee screening, training, supervision and evaluation.
EMPLOYEES
The Company's business is labor intensive and, accordingly, is affected by the availability of qualified personnel and the cost of labor. Although the protective services industry is characterized generally by high turnover, the Company believes its experience compares favorably with that of the industry. The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in employing suitable numbers of qualified security guards and other employees. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be generally satisfactory.
The Company is a party to collective bargaining agreements with various local unions covering approximately 8,100 employees. The collective bargaining agreements expire at various dates from 1996 to 1999 and relate, among other things, to wages, hours and conditions of employment. Under section 9(b)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act, if a union admits to membership, or is affiliated directly or indirectly with a union that admits to membership, employees other than guards, an employer of guards can refuse to bargain with such union and such union cannot be certified as the representative of a unit of guards. As a result, the Company has in many instances refused to recognize or withdrawn recognition of labor organizations that admit as members employees other than guards.
The NLRB has certified various locals of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America as the exclusive collective bargaining representative of certain of its courier services employees. The unit is engaged in contract negotiations with such representative.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
The Wells Fargo(R), Pony Express(R) and Burns(R) service marks are especially important to the Company's business. The Company believes that its rights in these marks are adequately protected and of unlimited duration. While the Company has patents it considers to be important to the overall conduct of its business, it does not consider any particular patent, or group of related patents, essential to its operations. The Company's 13 United States patents, which generally relate to the Company's alarm services unit, expire between 1997 and 2008, and the Company's 18 foreign patents, which generally relate to the Company's alarm services unit, expire between 1995 and 2009. For both the United States and the foreign patents, their expiration, individually, and in the aggregate, is not expected to have any material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company and its subsidiaries maintain armored and courier terminals, central alarm stations, plants and general offices in various cities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Colombia. At December 31, 1995, the guard services unit occupied approximately 281 branch and satellite offices, all but one of which were leased. At December 31, 1995, the alarm services unit operated 12 central stations, of which 4 were leased and 37 additional branch and 15 separate satellite offices, all of which were leased. At December 31, 1995, the armored services unit occupied 136 facilities, of which 100 were leased, and 61 of which contained vaults. At December 31, 1995, the courier services unit occupied approximately 116 branches and satellites, of
which all but three were leased. The Company leases approximately 57,000 square feet of office space in Chicago, Illinois for its executive offices. The Company believes that its properties are in good condition and are adequate to meet its current and reasonably anticipated needs.
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is presently, and is from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In certain of such actions, plaintiffs request punitive or other damages that may not be covered by insurance. In addition, the Company has been subject to claims and suits relating to certain discontinued operations. The most important of these legal proceedings are discussed below. The Company believes that the various asserted claims and litigation in which it is currently involved will not materially affect its financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome for any such claim or litigation. The Company believes that it has established adequate provisions for litigation liabilities in its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These provisions include both legal fees and possible outcomes of legal proceedings (including the environmental matters discussed below).
Centaur Litigation
Centaur Insurance Company ("Centaur"), a discontinued property and casualty insurance subsidiary, ceased writing insurance in 1984 and has been operating under rehabilitation since September 1987. Rehabilitation is a process supervised by the Illinois Director of Insurance to attempt to compromise liabilities at an aggregate level that is not in excess of Centaur's assets. In rehabilitation, Centaur's assets are currently being used to satisfy claim liabilities under direct insurance policies written by Centaur. Any remaining assets will be applied to Centaur's obligations to other insurance companies under reinsurance contracts. The foregoing has resulted in one pending lawsuit against the Company for recovery of alleged damages from the failure of Centaur to satisfy its reinsurance obligations. Certain former officers and directors of the Company's current and former subsidiaries have been named as defendants in such lawsuit and the Company has agreed to indemnify such individuals. Centaur is not a defendant in this lawsuit against the Company. Although the Illinois Director of Insurance has not made any claims against the Company for any of Centaur's liabilities, the Illinois Director of Insurance has requested, and the Company has agreed to, an extension of the statute of limitations for any such claims.
As of December 31, 1993, Centaur's total liabilities were $135 million and its deficit in net worth was $54.7 million, according to financial statements submitted on behalf of the Illinois Director of Insurance. Such financial statements were presented on a liquidating basis with assets carried at their market value or estimated realizable value
and liabilities carried at their present value through the provision of a present value discount. Although Centaur is a subsidiary of the Company, the Company does not operate Centaur and has no responsibility for, nor does it participate in the preparation of, such financial statements. Centaur's financial results, assets and liabilities are not reflected in the Company's financial statements.
In June 1988, the Insurance Commissioner of the State of California as trustee of Mission Insurance Trust and four other affiliated insurance companies filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against the Company and certain of its current and former subsidiaries alleging damages resulting from the failure of Centaur to satisfy its reinsurance obligations. This lawsuit alleges damages to plaintiff, as Trustee of Mission Insurance Company, Mission National Insurance Company, Enterprise Insurance Company, Holland-America Insurance Company and Mission Reinsurance Corporation, based on (i) conduct justifying piercing the corporate veil, (ii) fraud and (iii) negligent misrepresentation. Plaintiff seeks judgment in the amount of the insurance companies' current losses, which allegedly total approximately $14.2 million, plus a declaratory order that the Company pay future losses alleged to exceed $66 million. The complaint was amended in 1989 to add 11 former officers and directors of the Company's current and former subsidiaries as defendants and to allege additional causes of action based on (i) breach of fiduciary duty and imposition of personal liability, (ii) fraudulent conveyance, (iii) constructive trust and (iv) conspiracy and additional current losses totalling more than $9.8 million and to add a claim for punitive damages in the amount of $270 million.
In 1989, the Company filed a motion to dismiss or stay the action, pending resolution of Centaur's rehabilitation in Illinois. The court declined to dismiss the action, but entered an order staying the action until the rehabilitation proceeding is resolved, except that the parties may pursue discovery to preserve evidence. In 1992, the Centaur rehabilitator filed a motion to intervene and dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the plaintiff lacked standing and that its claims were not ripe for adjudication. The motion is pending. In 1993, six of the 11 individual defendants were dismissed from the lawsuit. In September 1994, the court effectively lifted its stay. Active discovery is now being pursued. The Company intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
The Company believes that any damages for failure to satisfy reinsurance obligations are solely the responsibility of Centaur and that the resolution of the lawsuit relating to Centaur, including the Company's indemnification obligations to former officers and directors, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or future operating results; however, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome with respect to such lawsuit.
Environmental Proceedings
The Company and certain of its current and former subsidiaries have been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and certain state environmental agencies as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at a number of hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("Superfund") and equivalent state laws and, as such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial activities at these sites. Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula. The Company believes that none of these matters individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse affect on its financial position or future operating results, generally either because the maximum potential liability at a site is not large or because liability will be shared with other PRPs, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such liability. Based on its estimate of allocations of liability among PRPs, the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent public companies, will fully pay the costs allocated to them, currently available information concerning the scope of contamination at such sites, estimated remediation costs at such sites, estimated legal fees and other factors, the Company has made provisions for indicated environmental liabilities in its financial statements in the aggregate amount of approximately $10 million (relating to environmental matters with respect to discontinued operations of the Company). The Company believes that such provisions for indicated environmental liabilities have been established on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. If any environmental liability claim relating to the Company's former chemical and plastics business is made, the Company is indemnified by the purchaser of such business, General Electric Company. Since the disposition, the Company has notified General Electric Company of various claims made with respect to the Company's former chemical and plastics business and General Electric Company has assumed all of such claims and has not contested its indemnification obligations. There is no dollar limitation on the General Electric Company's indemnification obligations and there are no other material limitations or exclusions with respect thereto. If any environmental liability claim relating to the operations of Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc. is made, the Company will be indemnified by Borg-Warner Automotive. There is no dollar limitation on such indemnification obligations and there are no other material limitations or exclusions with respect thereto.

The Company has neither paid nor declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock during the last two years. The payment of dividends by the Company prohibited under the terms of the Company's indebtedness. The Company currently intends to retain earnings for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and reduction of outstanding indebtedness. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to be able to nor does it expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
